Making Good.

There is no way OF making lasting
friends like "Making Good" and Doctor
Pierce's medicines well exemplify this,
and their friends, after more than two
decades Of popularity, are mum bered by
the hundreds of thousands. They have
"made good" and they have not made
drunkards.
good, honest, square deal medicine OF
known composition is DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. 1t still enjoys an i'm
mense sale, while most OF the prepara
tions that have come into prominence in
the earlier period Of its popularity have
"gone by the board and are never more
heard of. There must be some reason for
this long time popularity and that is to
be found in It's superior merits. When
once given fair trial for weak stomach,
or for liver and blood affections, its supe-
rior curative qualities are soon manifest;
hence it has survived and grown in pop
uar favor, while scores of less meritorious
articles have suddenly flashed into favor
for brief period and then been as soon
forgotten.
For a torpid liver with its attendant
Indigestion, dyspepsia, headache, per-
haps dizziness, foul breath, nasty coated
tongue, with bitter taste, loss OF appetite,
with distress after eating, nervousness
aud debility, nothing is so good as DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It's
an honest, square-deal medicine with all
its ingredients printed on bottle-wrapper
no secret, no hocus-pocus humbug,
therefore don't accept substitute that
the dealer may possibly make little big

what you call for.
Don't buy DIR. Plerce's Favorite prescrip-
tion expecting it to prove "cure-all." 1t
is only advised for woman's special all
ments. 1t makes weak women strong and

some preparations sold for like purposes,

its position in the front ranks, where it

sert our rights, with the hope that the
great gathering of Republicans will not
be insensible to them"
II believe in the courts" he added.

attacked their integrity, but that the

BEGS COUNCILMEN TO
COLLECT LICENSES
AUDITOR MUSHET PR0DS LAW
MAKERS
Holds That Every Patrolman Is an
Inspector and City Is Losing
Thousands by ignoring
Laws

City Auditor w. C. Mushet yester-
day again begged the city council to
take some action to repeal or enforce
the license laws because, he said, the
municipality was losing tens of thou
sands of dollars by non-collection of
such moneys.
In presenting the facts Mr.. Mushet
said pointedly:
do you intend that the bondsmen
Of those who are responsible for the
loss of thousands of dollars which
should be in the city treasury shall
be called upon to make good?
"Will you help prevent this loss TO
the city from now on?'
Prodded for a Year
Mr.. Mushet said for the last twelve
months he had repeatedly called the
attention of the council to license mat
ters.
II have told you," he said. "that
under the law all licenses must be
paid at the city hall precisely as taxes
are paid; also that every police off
Ger is an inspector of licenses.
"I have told you that the law is
openly and deliberately violated in
these respects.
II have said that tens of thousands
of dollars are lost to the city annually
through this violation, and that hun
dreds of persons subject to license are
overlooked.
II have demonstrated the truth of
this statement by adding hundreds of
names to the license roll of this city
and by producing tens of thousands
of dollars in actual cash.
"And still, Notwithstanding such evil
dence, you have allowed matters to SO
on the same as before. The time has
come when must again beg of you to
either enforce or repeal the laws. Any
other course is discrimination
against law-abiding citizens who pay
their licenses. and is a direct encour-
agement to those who wish to evade
the law.
Insurance Men Respond
lowing to the loosely drawn insur-
ance ordinance, many insurance men
were able to technically evade the pay
ment of the license. Six months ago
you amended the ordinance to include
solicitors, brokers and fraternal So
cieties. Several weeks ago l discov-
cred that instead of many new names
having been added to the list, that

fore the new ordinance was passed.

to the city from insurance men who
had been overlooked.

censes were: Nobody had called Did

ness
"A couple of weeks ago Captain Bra
dish put a plain clothes man, Officer
Varey, to work on licenses, and has
paid hundreds of dollars into the city
treasury.
"It does not matter what line you
examine, the report is about the same.
All of which tends to show that there
is no proper oversight over the col
lection and inspection of licenses.
"Who is to blame for this wretched
condition of affairs?"
The council decided to have hear
ing on licenses next Monday.

WILL TRY new
WATER SYSTEM

The proposition to return to the
old system of water main installa-
ton has been sidetrackcd for the
present to see what success the
new plan, as voted at the last cleo
ton, will have. So much opposi-
ton arose over the new system
that the board Of works, until re.
Gently, hesitated to follow it and
asked that the council pass a reso
luton allowing the old system once
more. For this reason new water
main installations have been at a
standstill for months. The First
ward people last night sent a COM
munication to the council asking
that either one or the other sys-
TENS be used, as there were many
people unable to go on with con-
templated improvements for lack
of water.
Councilman Estep said it was not
the fault of the city council, for it
had authorized all the proposed
water improvements; that recently
the board of works had begun to
hump itself and the mains would
be put in under the new system as
an experiment. If it does not prove
a success, Mr.. Estep says, then it
will be time to reconsider.

GIRLS WIN STRIKE FOR
MEMS WAGES

A number of young women teleg-
raphers in Denmark recently went
on strike. demanding the same pay
and other treatment received by
the men. The government, which
controls the telegraph system, real
izing that a refusal would probably
mean that the male employees
would walk out in sympathy, con-
ceded the demand on condition that
the women would do the same
work as the men. This was accept
ed, whereupon the foxy politician
in charge of the department order
ed the young ladies to climb tele-
graph poles to repair broken wires.
Then broke out the second rebel
lion, and again the girls won, this
time without any loophole in the
peace compact.
