Extracting Teeth
Without Pain.

Aching, loose, diseased or broken
teeth should be removed. Many
times their presence is a menace to
health. Many people are cOntinu-
ally taking medicine for dyspepsia
and kindred ills, when in reality the
cause of all the trodble IS decayed

these are extracted by our painless
process, the cause of the dyspepsia
and other troubles disappear.

CITY employees
GET SOME CASH
Water Board Helps Men
Whose Pay is Held up
by Auditor
SOLICITOR HASN'T
GIVEN OPINION

City Solicitor Townsend said this morn
ing he was quite sure that il wasn't his
fault that the current payroll of the
Water Department for February hadn't
been paid. And he thought employees on
the roll might go without their money still
longer for he is SO busy that he could
hardly tell whether his opinion on the
water board pay roll controversy would be
ready for the boards meeting ON Monday
Inasmuch as on this opinion rests the
payment Of the current pay roll for Feb
ruary. Mr.. Townsend's nonchalanco is
anything but soothing to the employees OF
the Water Department who are so un-
lucky as TO receive their salary from the
current account.
Twelve employees, including the chief en-
giucer. the janitor and the Office force.
have been deprived Of their pay, and tho
bolatod roll amounts TO $3.50. Some Of
those. however are getting money on ac-
count
Those who have been following water
board affairs will recall that city Auditor
Rice refused 10 approve the current mon
thly pay roll FOR February because the
name OF James l.. Forebec. final filter in
spector had been transferred to il from
the special pay roll Mr.. Rice says that
Mr.. Ferebee is doing special work and the
city auditor has been champloned by
Water Commissioner Knox. Mr.. Knox viii
not vote 10 pass the pay roll with Mr..
lerebee's name and President Shaw will
not vote 10 pass It without IL. As a conse-
qucnce the pay roll will not be approved
by City Auditor Rice untl City Solicitor
Townsend decides whether Mr. Forobee's
duties permit of his being placed on the
current roll
Il couldn't tell you when I'll have AN
opinion ready" Mr.. Townsend said this
morning. I'm very busy. There's the
Legislature and Council and lots Of other
things, you know. 1 don't know what
they've done with that pay roll. That's tho
water boards concern. / understand
though. that they have found way to
pay some Of the employees. I've been told
that they are paying them out Of the cur
rent cash and taking due bills TO pay
back Maybe you can run that up"
Registrar Mcintyre, Of the Board OF
Water Commissioners. admitted this
morning that he had thus relieved some OF
the men whose pay has been held up.
when a man comes 10 me and says he
needs the money, I consider II my duty
to help him out" he said. ITS not his
fault that his money is being held back
It's an obligation Of this department ia

the city solicitor gets to know these
things. anyway"
