Ii a cough once gets into your system
it acts on every muscle and fibre of the
body and makes you ache all over. 1t es-
pecially affects the intestines and makes
you constipated, so in order to get rid of
a cold thoroughly and without delay you
should not take anything that will tend
to constipate. Kennedy'sL Laxative Cough
Syrup acts upon the bowels and thereby
drives the cold out of the system. 1t con-
tains no opiates-it is pleasant to take
and is highly recommended for children.

MAYOR CALLS
PITT TO TINE
Mr.. Bransford Puts 1t Up to the
Chief to Put a Stop
to Gambling.
TIRES OF REPRESENTATION
BIG GAMES REPORTED GOING IN
SEVERAL PLACES.

Convinced that gambling games are
running in Salt Lake, Mayor Brans-
ford last night visited police head
quarters and, without mincing words,
demanded to know from Chief Pitt
why the police had been unsuccessful
in putting a stop to the games, the
existence of which had reached the
mayors knowledge.
The mayors visit to the chief fol-
lowed closely upon the report current
yesterday afternoon that man had
been inveigled into a room over
South State street saloon and induced
to lose $4,000 at a roulette wheel. There
were other reports that gamblers were
operating in the premises of a leading
hotel and in one of the large down.
town office buildings.
Mayor BransfOrd's talk with Chief
Pitt last night was the third confer
ence he had during the past week with
the chief of police. 1t is understood
that at his previous visits the mayor
gave to Chief Pitt certain information
that had come to him concerning
gambling in Salt Lake, with instruc-
tions for. the chief to detail policemen
to arrest the offenders and break up
the reported games.
mayor wants Results.
Little doubt was left that Mayor
BransfOrd was convinced that the in
formation he mad received was relia-
bic. He had apparently expected re-
suits after his first conference with
Chief Pitt, and last nights visit was
for the purpose of demanding TO know
why arrests had not been made.
The mayor was informed that the
suspected places had been watched by
policemen, but that no evidence suffi-
cient TO justify arrests had been OBJ
tanned. He was told that whenever
one of the supposed gambling places
was entered men were found engaged
with the harmless game of "sluff," and
that nothing was found that indicated
that poker or other games for money
were being played.
Mayor Bransford was far from salts
fed with this explanation. He ordered
redOubled vigilance on the part of the
police.
The mayors conference with Chief
Pitt caused a ripple of excitement at
police headquarters There was con-
siderable speculation as to the cause
of his unheralded visit. He was alone
when he reached headquarters and
seemed anxious to avoid attracting at
tention. After his talk with Chief Pitt
he quietly walked away.
When questioned about the cause of
his visit, the mayor admitted that he
had taken up the subject OF gambling
He seemed convinced that there We're
gambling games running in the city,
and left no doubt that he was not
wholly satisfied with the efforts of the
police to put a stop to the games.
Chief Pitt stated last night that he
had heard vague report that some man
had lost 5000 in a gambling house, but
that no complaint had been made to
him.
IF complaint had been made to me, -
he said. Il would have made short work
of putting an end to gambling in the
place in which the alleged gambling took
place. We have heard and Investigated
many reports, but have been unable to
