 na- On the oth- CT hand, the revised Pe-ru-na is a better remedy for some conditions than Ka-tar-no. They are both in- tended as catarrh remedies. They have both done a great work in re- lieving catarrh, chronic and acute. Many hundreds of cases of chronic catarrh have recovered while taking Ka-tar-no and the same is true of the revised Pe-ru-na during the last six years since its revision.
 There is a difference, however, in the two remedies. Whenever catarrh Is associated with constipation, then the revised Pe-ru-na Is the best, In- deed, this is exactly why the revision was made, to meet such cases, But where no laxative Is needed. where the bowels are regular or inclined to be loose, then the old Pe-ru-na (Ka-tar- no) is the better remedy.
 The revised Pe-ru-na Is for sale at all drug stores. Those wishing to ob- tain Ea tar-no, address The Ka- tar mo Co.,. ColumbuE, 0hAe.

o'Leary is 6 live wire of the eoun- ell and is considerable more of a work CT than talker, but when he addresses the council he does not do so for the sake of hearing himself talk, but he has something to say that Is practi- cal and always receives careful con- sideration. He had hardly been ini- tiated into the doings of the court of common council when he took up the matter of sealer of weights and measures and after months of hard work succeeded in having rules to govern the conduct of the officer and had an officer appointed that did his duty, and there became something be- sides a name in the office of sealer and weights and measures. Then as chairman of the committee on public property he took up the matter of a much-needed new clock in the steeple of the First Church of Christ, to re- place the old town clock that had been completely worn out by a long term of faithful service. O'Beary persist ed and after a long, long while, finally succeeded in securing the desired ap- propriation and now the new clock marks the time and is right up to the second. O'Leary is the only alder man who has made declaration that ne QO6S uOl uoSlTe re-oicCIAOu put uOWA in the fourth ward he is wanted for at least a second term and he will probably yield to the wishes of the people
 Small is not the kind of an alder man that his name would indicate, for he really is a big man in the council and there are but few matters of inter est that are introduced in the council that he does not exhibit personal so- licitation. He does not hide or at
 tempt to hide his position on any question. As chairman of the healtl
 committee and street railway commit tee he has done yeoman service fol the city. It is understood that Will 1 liam Baseley is out for the nomination in opposition to Alderman Small bu. so far known there are no party op- ponents to the nomination of Perkins l Prentis, Ryan or O'Leary.

 At tho coming city election an al- derman from each ward will he elected as well as mayor, the outgoing alder men being Charles c. Perkins, re- publican, of the first ward and senior alderman, Samuel Prentice, republican, of the second ward, John J. Ryan of the third, James F. OLeary, democrat, of the fourth and Robert Small of the fifth. These aldermen have performed the duties to the full satisfaction of the people and are entitled to reelec- tion on their merits Perkins has been acting mayor in the absence of Mayor Mahan and although the may orally shoes did not pinch his feet they were not many sizes too large.
 Prentfs has been an alderman of the Missouri type and was not always quick to fall into line with the majori- ty on several measures and shortly after his election took up the cudgel with the mayor that resulted in his retirement by his own action from the chairmanship of the street committee
 where he was assigned by the mayor. Alderman Prentis has been announced as willing candidate for the nomina- ton of mayor. but this was some time ago and now, it Is understood, that he does not want to enter the arena with Mahan, not that he fears to tackle him, but rather that it might be injudicious to make a change just at this time.
 Ryan is the chairman of the police committee and he has seen fit to man age the department along about the same lines as his predecessors yhicn has not been for the best interests of the force or the people. He has fl nally realized that there should be @
 change in methods and less interfer- ence direct with the members of the | force and that they should do their business direct with the captain and with no other member of the force.
 He has performed the general duties of
 alderman to the full satisfaction of the | people

Should the officers receive this de- served increase there should be cor responding increase in the service rendered the public, and perhaps closer investigation of the service rendered by some of the officers but fortunately there are very few of this class, but just enough to cast ref1ec- tion on the force as a whole. There are members of the police force who, by reason of habits should have no place on the force unless there be inn mediate reformation. There are offi- cers in uniform who have been seen under the influence of liquor while on duty and have shown disrespect to law abiding citizens who are entitled to courteous consideration, while the police force as a whole is composed of men of good habits and character, still there are those few black sheep that are said to be in almost every flock.
 When this increase in pay is grant ed it would be the opportune time to impress upon the officers the neces- sity of strict performance of duty and not tolerate fragrant violations of the laws, especially the liquor laws that are so openly violated in New Lon don, especially on Sundays and gener- ally after hours. Every officer on the force knows, or should know, that in some places in the city an open busi- ness is done on Sunday and where anybody with the price can be served, and the police know that these places are not licensed. Last Sunday noon by actual count seventeen persons en tered one of these illegal drinking places within ten minutes and fully as many more came out. Among the patrons are soldiers, sailors artisans

HOW TO GET FAT
Use samose. Says Drugsist james
O'DonnelI. ahA Pat On Good Flesh

The almost universal interest in phys
ical culture is the best evidence that
can pbe offered as to the need Of a sim
pie and scientific method of making thin
people fat, increasing strength and re-
storing health.
Athletics. when carried to an ex-
treme, often result in straining the
vital organs. How much better 1t would
be for the average person to. regain
health, strength, and flesh by using
Samose. This flesh forming food is as.
simulated as soon as II enters the stonl-
ach; II helps the organs to assimilate
the food and extract the flesh forI .IDg
elements: 1T builds up the muscles and
rounds cut the limbs into shapeiy
plumpness.
Samcse has been so successful in max
Ing thin people fat and restoring the
weak and run down to strength and
health that James O'Donnell, the popu-
Var druggist, sells " under his personal
guarantee to refund the money II It
does not benefit.
An offer like this certainly shows re-
markable faith In the powers of Samose
to do all that Is claimed for II. No
one SHOULD suffer any longer from a
thin, rin-down condition, now that Sa-
moses remarkable powers are known.
