Then a motion by Aid. Field 10 re-
fer the matter back to committee was
voted down. Next the council sus-
pended rule %, which states that Inn
mediate action cannot be taken on a
resolution which provides for the ex-
penditure or money when one mem

way for a new resolution by Aid. Yer
nor providing for a special election,
the original resolution having been
wiped out by the previous procedure.
Aid. Vernon IN introducing the reso=
luton made a motion that II be laid
on the table for q week. Aid. Gilman
sought to amend this by moving the
adoption OF the special election reso-
luton. The vote on the adoption re-
suited as follows:
For: Allan. Ellis. Field. Gilman.
Gutman, Hindle. Koenig, Knapp,
Lynch, McCarty, Mason. Merritt, RIOS

Tossy. Vernon, Walsh, and President

AS a two-thirds vote was necessary
to cary the resolution II failed, but
the vote showed that the special cleo
ton advocates had ~made a net gain
OF four votes over the 16 they had In
the last session OF the council. Gin
nan had amended Vernor's motion
just to obtain a showing OF strength.
The council then voted on Vernor's
original motion TO lay his resolution
on the table. and the motion prevailed
by vote OF Is to 10.
Commissioner Gillespie, OF the wa
ter board, addressed the aldermen on
the need OF another bond issue, stat
ing that immediate charter revision
would insure keeping the water rent
ais at the present rate instead or COM
pelling the board to raise the rates
to provide running expenses.
Several OF the aldermen referred
sarcastically to the fact that the wa
ter board in years past considered
itself separate corporation ana 'o-
tally independent of the council.
Aid Tossy and Lynch declared that
when the charter is revised. the coun,
ell will see TO IL that the board OIL

RED scALY SPOTS ON HAND

672 Walnut ST., Columbia, Pa
EARLY in the spring Of last year
noticed small red scaly spots appear
ing on the palm Of my left hand and
on several fingers Of my right hand.
They itched and burned and when
scratched or irritated In any way they
formed into sores. The spots spread
constantly and in a short time both
hands were affected causing them to
be very unsightly. After time they
became so raw that / could not even
put them in water. It was pronounced
eczema.
II tried various remedies but with
no relief. I noticed the Cuticura Soap
and Ointment advertised and decided
to try them. Every night before retiring
I washed my hands with Cuticura Soap
and warm water and applied thin
coat of Cuticura Ointment. In three
months I was completely cured of my
trouble" (Signed) Miss M. Katherine
Carter. Apr. 20, 1912.
