A Most Valuable Agent.

The glycerine employed in DR.. Pierce's
medicines greatly enhances the medicinal
properties which it extracts from native
medicinal roots and holds In solution
much better than alcohol would. 1t also
possesses medicinal properties of its own,
being valuable demulcent, nutritive,
antiseptic and antiferment. 1t adds
greatly to the efficacy of the Black Cherry.
bark, Bloodroot, Golden Seal root, Stone
root and Queens root, contained In
rGolden Medical Discovery in subduing
chronic, or lingering coughs, bronchial,
throat and lung affections, for all of which
these agents are recommended by stand
ard medical authorities.
In all cases where there Is wasting
away of flesh, loss of appetite, with weak
stomach, as in the early stages of con-
sumption, shere can be no doubt that gly-
cerine acts as valuable nutritive and
aids the Golden Seal root, Stone root,
Queens root and Black Cherrybark in
promoting digestion and building up the
flesh and strength, controlling the cough
and bringing about healthy condition
of the whole system. OF course, it must
not be expected to work miracles. 1t will
not cure consumption except in its earlier
stages. 1t will cure very severe, obsti.
and 1aryngeal troubles, and chronic sore
throat with hoarseness. In acute coughs
it is not so effective. 1t is in the lingering
hang-on coughs, or those of long standing,
even when accompanied by bleeding from
lungs, that it has performed its most
marvellous cures.
Prof. Finley Ellingwood, M. D., of Ben.
nett Med. College, Chicago, says of gly'
cerine:
vIn dyspepsia it serves an excellent purpose
Holding q fixed quantity OF the peroxide Of

Following the expose of the
merhods of the Wholesale and re-
tail grocers' trust existing in this
state by the Denver Times, the at
torney general will bring proceed
ings against the big combine for
violation of the laws. This trust
has been operating in Colorado for
years and has dictated to the re-
tailers the price of all food stuffs.
Retailers had to charge the price
fixed by the association or they
would be prevented from obtaining
the goods they handled. The price
charged for sugar was little less
than exorbitant, considering that
the sugar was manufactured in
Colorado and could be bought for
less money in Kansas City than in
this state. Since the attorney gen.
eral has made known his intention
to bring the combine to time, prices
have been lowered on numerous
commodities.

COUNCIL MEETING

Council met in regular monthly ses-
sion last Thursday evening. All the
alderman were present with the excep-
tion of Rule. Alderman Eilmann acted
as mayor pro tenn in the absence of
Mayor Davies.
Miss Bates, A. L. Anderson and Max
Gabardi appeared before the body in re-
gard to an old building between the A.
l.. Anderson establishment and the
Floyd house on Lawrence street asking
that the same be condemned, as well as
the building above the Rialto mine
These buildings are in very dilapidated
condition and being frame structures,
according to those appearing before the
board. were fire traps and for that rea-
son were more or less dangerous. Coun-
Gil instructed the city attorney to write
to the owners of the property and ask
them to either make repairs or tear the
same down.
The water commissioner made his
usual report, stated that 1900 feet of
new pipe line was yet to be laid. He
said if the weather permitted he ex-
pected to have the work completed
within nine days. The work is being
done most satisfactorily and when the
line is ready for use the city will have
made an Improvement that has long
been needed and one which will last un-
til the majority of those now compris-
ing the population of Central City have
long since passed to the world beyond.
The laying of this new pipe line will
materially better the health conditions
of the community. The old wooden one
was rotten and the small portion of the
pipe that was intact was carrying seep-
age which entered at the numerous
openings. The poor condition of the
pipe permitted the water which passed
through the main to become polluted
and as result much sickness was caus-
ed. Water passing through the new
line will be as pure when it reaches the
city for consumption as when it entered
the pipe. The cast iron pipe now being
laid will be six and eight inches in dia-
meter and will carry all the water the
city will need for years to come. 4
Reports of the clerk and treasurer,
street commissioner and water rate col
lector were read and containing nothing
out of the ordinary were ordered placed
on file.
License bonds of E. Goldman and
Chas. Renaldi were read and approved
and licenses were ordered granted.
Clerk was instructed to issue notice
that the assessment roll of all real and
personal property for the year 1907, as
received from the county assessor by
the council is now ready for inspection
at the Office of the city clerk, and to
notify all persons feeling themselves
aggrieved by such assessment to make
their objection thereto at meeting of
the city council to be held on the 9Th of
December at Sp. m. Persons not ap-
pearing in person have the privilege of
filing their objection in writing with the
clerk before the night of meeting.
Water bills amounting to $13, ,O42. 90
and city bills to the amount Of $9O9. 81
were allowed.

The sophomore class of the high
school met last week and elected officers
as follows: President, Everett NcCoy;
vice-president, Nellie Comfort, secre-
tary-treasurer, Nora Crook; sergeant
alarms, James Reynolds. A commit
tee was appointed to select class colors,
and the members of this progressive
class will soon be decked in all the tog-
gerry of the typical high school class
man.
The school is greatly indebted to the
Masonic fraternity of this city for the
gift of an w. H. Smith American organ
for use in the grades. The organ was
placed in the Clark building by Mr..
Wiley on Thursday morning and was
Immediately levied upon to provide mu-
sic for the marching columns at the
morning assembly. Miss Lillian Head
at the organ, assisted by Chas. Anger
with triangle, add great improvement
to this feature of the school. The organ
will be used in the music work of the
primary grades and it is expected that
it will continue to be useful for the
marching as the basis of a little school
orchestra that is being organized.
The regular term examinations are in
progress this week, Thursday and Fri
day. Examination papers are placed on
file for year after the examination is
taken and parents or others who have a
right to make inquiry concerning them,
are invited to call and inspect them at
any time.
Brownie Day was celebrated recently
in the primary grades. Brownies of all
kinds were drawn and painted, cut from
paper, read about and told about until
everyone was familiar with the entire
tribe of Palmer Cox's creation. Some
interesting and excellent examples of
the work of the pupils were preserved.
