that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure

cure is taken internally, acting directly

PRAISE FOR PRENDERGAST
Tammany Man Congratulates
CITY on His Administration.

Before sailing for Europe yesterday N
Taylor Phillips, a Tammany Hall Demo-
crat, who for years was Deputy Controller
under Controllers Grout and Metz, paid
the following tribute to Controller Prender-
CAST:
Mr.. Prendergast has accomplished more
in six months toward putting the Depart
ment of Finance of New York City on
sound business basis than I believed pos
sble,' said Mr.. Phillips. He is not permit
ting politics or political influence of any
sort to interfere with the establishment of
the broad. strong business policies which
must control a financial administration of
the city if the highest success in municipal
government is to be obtained
IT know from my own experience that
there is no other financial office in the
United States, or in the world which can
be compared with the controllership Of the
city of New York in the magnitude and
Importance of interests involved or in the
complexity of problems TO be solved. I
know of my own knowledge that the pres
ent Controller is handling these problems
with the greatest fairness and intelligence,
and the people of New York are to be
congratulated on the present financial ad-
ministration.
