SICK HEADACHE.

This distressing ailment results from a disordered condition of the stomach. All that is needed to effect a cure is a dose or two of Chamber lain's Stomach and Liver Tablets. In fact, the attack may be, warded off, or greatly lessened in severity, by taking a dose of these Tablets as soon as the first symptom of an attack appears. Sold by ali dealers in patent medi. cines.

this matter first came up. and l have
nothing to add to the statement contain

The. intention / endeavored to convey
by the remarks in my report relating to
the system of accounts and general
method of management was that. In order
to make your organ cation efficient, your
expenditures for payroll and expense.
coal, i. etc, should be ,lass,ei under
their proper headings. For instance, your
upper works payroll should be sub
divided under complaint expense distrl-
button office expense. gratuitous work
repairs to mains, repairs TO services, set
tug and remov ng meters, street lamp
expense, and probably number of other
items.
In case of variation in the amount
per coo cubic feet charged to any one
account, your superintendent could very
quickly run the matter to the ground
and find out the reason for such varia-
top. IT, however, your upper works pay
roll simply increases $1,000 or $1,000 it is
far more difficult to find the cause OF
such increase. A similar classificat on
should be applied to all other eNpendi-
lures. The principle of such classification
of expenditures is so fundamental and
well recognized that IL seems strange
that anyone should question it.
