You Can Test
the Kidneys

Letthe urine stand for twenty four hours and
if at the end of that time there are deposits OF
brick dust variety or if the water becomes
smoky and cloudy you may be sure the kidneys
are deranged.
Another very marked symptom of kidney
disease is pain in the small of the back.
The letter quoted below tells how these
symptoms were overcome and kidney disease
cured by DIR. A. W. Chase's Kidney and Liver
Liver Pills. Because of their direct and COM
bined action on both liver and bowels these
pills cure the most complicated cases.
Mr.. w. II. Cook, K. F. ID. No. d, Lodi,
Wis, writes:-"For many years was troub-
led with kidney disease and several doctors
told me my conditions was very serious but
they could not cure me. Then turned to DIR.
A. w. Chase's Kidney and Liver Pills with
excellent results. The sediment disappeared
from the urine, the pains left the back and lolns
and am feeling well.''

Mrs. F. NJ. Currier very pleasantly
entertained yesterday at spring time
luncheon in honor of Mrs. f. p. Wal
ton, a guest of Mrs. H. A. Patterson.
The affair had been planned for the
porch but on account of the change
of weather, it was held indoors. The
rooms and tables were prettily decor
ated with red roses and the place cards
were an especially novel idea, each
guest having to find her place from
cards on which were written conun-
drums that were answerable by her
own name. This caused no end of
merriment in the solving, and the
luncheon was ushered in amid laughter
and fun. Covers were placed for twenty
four. Each guest also had at her
plate a card of conundrums. one table
having forestry, another roses and a
third rivers, that were all greatly en-
Joyed by everyone. Following the
luncheon the afternoon was spent in
cards, puzzle making and music

SALARIES MUST BE CUT

Action Will Not be Taken
Before Fall.
City Fathers Consume Very Little
Time In Passing the Ordinances
and Getting Away.

The city fathers were very rapid
and definite in their transactions last
evening. Every member of the hon
orable body was present precisely at
the appointed hour. The business of
the session was taken up in rapid
hre order and long before the city
chimes had pealed fort h the eight
hour, the body had adjourned.
There was really only one matter
of business to be considered at this
time. And that was an ordinance
fixing the city tax levy for the year
1910.
The ordinance was presented in
three sections. The first section rec
commended that there be a levy made
for municipal purposes for the year
1910, on each dollar of valuation OF
real estate and personal property with
| in the city of Marion and that the
levy should not exceed ten mills.
Section number two recommended
that the levy be appropriated as fol-
lows: General purposes, 1.75 mills;
Public health, q mills; Public safety
2.55 mills; public service, 5,5 mills.
| The final section recommended that
There be levied and collected on the
valuation of property in the city, the
following additional sum, library pur
poses, AS mills; sinking fund anC
Interest, mills. The grand tota
OF the corporation and municipal Ia,
according to the ordinance is 145
mills. The maximum levy for boil
corporation and municipal purposes d
fifteen mills and the finance commit
Itee found 1t not an easy matter L
keep within this limit.
The ordinance was passed without
dissenting vote and the clerk was au
thorized to certifyy the levies to tn
county auditor.
Last year the city was within thre
tenths of the limit for municipa
purposes. This year the levy az
gregates ten mills which is the max
mum municipal levy.
An ordinance regulating the salar
les of the city officials will not com
before the city council until mex

DOCTORlNG SYCAMORES
Trees on Court House Esplanade
are In Bad Shape.

James A. 1Mlly and Vernard II
Smith, of Columbus, have been the
first to introduce practical forestry
in Marion. This team or industrious
young men are going over the trees
of the city and are placing them in
condition to live a Thousand years.
Their process OF preservation is one
| invented by them and is said to be
one of the most practical in use.
A large Catalpa tree, located in
the southwest corner of the High
school grounds. was given attention
lats week by the foresters. Nearly
three Thousand pounds of cement
filling was placed in the tree and
the decayed old body which was
destined to live less than a half
score years. was placed in condi-
tion TO live a century.
The prtocess of preservation is
carried out by trimming and VAR
nishing the bruised spots In the bark,
filling the holes in the body so as
to make the tree air tight and af-
fecting other work that is OF vital
importance to the life and growth of
tree. The men are now engaged
in doctordng the trees located
around the puIblic square. Mr..
Smith stated Tuesday morning that
Marion trees are in very bad condi-
tion, claiming that they have not
been properly cared for.

WILL THRESH OUT SOME
PERPLEXING QUESTIONS
City Solicitors Meet With
Attorney General.a
Operation Of the New Payne Law
will be the Chief Topic to
be Threshed Out.

Ohio city solicitors will meet with
Attorney General Denman in the city
council chamber in an effort to decide
moot questions of procedure by city
officials after August 1, when the
new Paine law is said to become
effective in certain city departments.
The attorney general several
months ago ruled that the present
board Of public safety directors shall
retire August /, and be succeeded by
one director appointed by the mayor
He decided members of the public
service board continue in Office until
January 1, when the mayor shall
appoint one director to perform theiI
duties. Solicitors are undecided, how
ever, whether the board of contro
authorized by the Paine law to pass
upon all resolutions and city con
tracts becomes effective August un
der the attorney generals ruling. /
the board comes into existence ther
they are undecided how many vote
the three public safety directors shall
have. The Paine law says the mayor
public safety director and public ser
vice director shall each have one
vote.
Many other intricate questions hav'
been encountered by solicitors in diff
ferent cities and these will be present
ed to Mr.. Denman for solution. Th
decision to be reached at this confer
ence will govern the procedure il
changing from the old to the new
