II is well known that manufacturers of
Kidney preparations try to use as small a
quantity of alcohol in the manufacture Of
their products as is possible, the alcohol
adding no medicinal virtues In this case,
being used simply as a preservative of the
ingredients making up the compound.
Every proprietary manufactures knows that
the public questions the virtues of drugs
containing TOO MUCH percentage of al
cohol. suspecting that the intention of the
maker is to create, because OF the alcohol
in the drug, a craving for II.
In DIR. Motifs Melon Seed Compound Kid
ney and Bladder Remedy for instance, the
label on the package states that seven
GSo) per cent of alcohol is used in the
preparation of the remedy, this percentage
being considered the MAXIMUM quantity
necessary to preserve the ingredients.
BUT, II WE COULD USE ONLY ONE
PER CENT. OR. STILL BETTER, NO
ALCOHOL AT ALL, WE WOULD BE
PLEASING OURSELVES. AND WE BE

CITY WILL BUILD FIRE HOUSE
Central station VIII BE Moved One
Block West and Rent
Saved.

The city council Monday afternoon In
committee of the whole took the first steps
toward stopping the payment of $500 a
year rent for the central fire engine house
at Eighteenth and Harvey streets. This
was done by recommending the purchase
Of the rear end of the lot at the corner of
Nineteenth and Harvey streets and cree
ton OF a new house. The city now owns
half the lot and the other half can be
bought of the Swedish Building association
for $500.
The committees also recommended the
narrowing of Jones street, much against
the desire of Pete Elsasser. When the
street is narrowed w. o. Butts will erect
a $4,000 warehouse, but Elsasser did not
want it narrowed for the reason that the
street, in his opinion. is destined TO be-
come the principal thoroughfare to the
river when the Missouri is made ~navigable.
The street is now 100 feet wide and 1t will
be narrowed to sixty feet between Eighth
and Ninth streets.

REASON THAT THE REMEDIES CARRY
MUCH LESS ALCOHOL THAN THE La
Bells STATE, AND THEREFORE, DO
NOT CONFORM WITH THE PURE FOOD
AND DRUG LAWS.
1t Is the general impression far and wide
that while there is less incarnation to be
had on the subject of the Pure Food and
Drug laws than about any other legal
subject, that nevertheless the laws relat-
ing to the quantity of alcohol that may
be used in a product were constructed by
the government MORE TO PREVENT
HI INTRODUCTION OF TOO MUCH
ALCOHOL INTO A PROPHET RATHER
THAN o LITTLE, AND THE LESS
ALCOHOL THAT YOU IAN USE IN A
PRODUCT TO BE TAKEN INTERNAL
LY. WE UNHESITATINGLY ASSERT,
THE BETTER, although by all OF the CAL
culations that the finite human can make.
we are ready to assert that in the process
of manufacture of Motifs Melon Seed Conn
pound that seven GT) per cent of alcohol
is used. If there has been any change due
to oxidation or evaporation, thereby Gre
ating a deficit in the quantity of alcohol,
we unhesitatingly express our profoundest
pleasure, believing that the Department at
Washington will treat the subject in a
very much different way than II for in
stance our compound showed UPON AN

FIREMEN ALLOWED TO SLEEP
Board Changes the Rule Regarding
the Night shift of the
Department.

The fire department had its innings at
the meeting of the Board of Fire and Po-
lice commissioners, which was held last
night.
The principal victory which this branch
OF the public service secured was an order
to the effect that members of the night
shift, which is on duty from Z o'clock in
the evening until the same hour in the
morning, may occupy their beds and sleep
from 1890 o'clock until $50 o'clock. 1t is
provided that a floor watch shall be main
tanned, each of the members taking their
turn.
Since the adoption OF the double shift
system in the department there has been
an order to the effect that the men on
night duty must keep awake. Chief Salter
states that alarms can be answered just
as promptly when the men are allowed to
sleep as when they are required to stay
awake. Another section of the order pro-
vides that members of the fire department
must not wear the uniform when off duty
except by permission of the chief or one of
his assistants.
To further prove that the board was in
a lenient mood toward the firemen, three
cases of discipline of men charged with
being a few minutes late at roll call were
dismissed, as there was a good excuse in
each instance.
A saloon license was granted TO Charles
f. Coleman, 200 South Fourteenth street.
The application of Charles Neber to remove
his saloon from Ill South Fifteenth street
30 Twenty-third and L~eavenworth streets
will be heard next Monday night. as there
have been protests filed against allowing
him to conduct a saloon at the new loca-
ton.
After the transaction of a small amount
of routine business the board adjourned
at an early hour.

MRS. PINKHAMs STANDING INVITATION:

Women s~ufferingf from any formo of female weakness arein-
vited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn,
Mass. All letters are received, opened, read and answered by
women. A woman can freely talk of her private illness
to a woman; thus has been established this confidence
between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which
has never been broken. Never has she published a testi-
monial or used a letter without the written consent of the
writer, and never has the company allowed these conf
dental letters to get out of their possession, as the hun
dreds of thousands Of them in their files will attest.
Out of the vast volume of experience which Mrs. Pink
ham has to draw from, it is more than possible that she
has gained the very knowledge needed in your case.
She asks nothing in return except your good will, and her
advice has, helped thousands. Surely any woman, rich or
poor, should be glad to take advantage OF this generous
offer of assistance. Address Mrs. Pinkham, care of Lydia

This Fact - that in addressing Mrs. Pinkham you are con-
hding your private ills to a woman "a woman whose ex-
perience with womens diseases covers twenty-five years.
The present Mrs. Pinkham, daughter-inlaw of Lydia E.
Pinkham, was for years under her direction, and has ever
since her decease continued to advise women.
Many women suffer in silence and drift along from bad
to worse, knowing well that they ought to have immediate
assistance, but a natural modesty causes them to shrink
from exposing themselves to the questions and probable
examinations of even their family physician. Such ques-
t;oning and examination is unnecessary. Without cost
you can consult a woman whose knowledge from actual
experience is great.

Monday and Tuesday, and Wednesday and

alternate with the biennial convention.

and consideration of the matters that are
constantly arising for the consideration
and action of the clubs. The work of the

strengthened in this way.
The council has no executive authority,
however, but the disposition of many
measures thatmust come before the fol-
lowing biennial is largely determined in
this body.
Local club women rave arranged elab-
crate entertainments for the visiting
women, and among other things in the
way of side trips will be an excursion to
