1Ahs6ftfDAaht 49, so1t So
After hanging fire for several months,
the new set OF city health laws were
finally passed at last nights meeting
OF city council.
Those portions relating to the in
spection OF milk and cattle, and the ad-
ministration of the tuberculin test, are
patterned after similar regulations now
In force in the District of Columbia.
Section two was amended SO as to
provide for the appointment Of a depu-
ty health Office at q salary Of 500 per
year, who would be vested with the
power to inspect dairtes, slaughter
houses. and other places where articles
to be used as food shall be prepared
or sold. He shall. also administer the
tuberculin test on the application OF
owners Of the animals.
Dairy Inspection.
It was explained that all dairymen,
desiring to do business In Alexandra
must either show certificate Of inspec-
ton, or else submit to an inspection by
the deputy. A fee Of fifty cents per
animal is charged for the test, which
charge becomes an .emolument OF the
deputy's Office.
Through a provision in section the
deputy shall be qualified veterinarian,
nassing the examination of the State
board. He shall attend to all horses In
the fire department, as well as other
animals owned by the city.
The appointment of both officers ID
vested in the committee on health, the
health officer receiving an unusual sal
ary Of $500. The changes agreed upon
were read In the common council by
Councilman Williams, chairman OF the
conference committee. He then moved
that the body recede from Its former
action, and pass the laws as amended.
This was done without dissenting
vote.
Legal Appropriation.
The resolution presented at the last
meeting by williams, which was later
laid on the tablee, was finally passed
by the lower body. but action by the
board of aldermen was deferred until
the next meeting. This calls for an ap-
preparation of $3.50 to defray the legal
expenses of Urban 8. Lambert, member
from the First ward. whose seat is con-
tested by Robert 8. Barrett, and which
will come to a hearing IN the corpora
tion court on Friday of this week This
was bitterly opposed by several Of the
The vote stood as follows: Ayes, Lead
beater, Lambert, Graham, Williams,
Monroe, Brockett, Harrison. Swan and
Chauncey; noes, Burke. Smith, Birrell,
Spinks. and Smith. Councilmen Yates,
Brumback, and Marshall were absent.
Following this. Councilman Williams
moved that the board of aldermen be
invited to a joint session for the pur-
pose of electing q police commissioner
to succeed Robert 8. Barrett, whose
resignation had been received and not
yet acted upon.
The aldermen refusing, the lower body
took up the resignation and accepted It.

nation to rid East Martin street Of

that thoroughfare could not be made

it should be made 50 is The fact thai
many nice families and some sub
stantial business houses are along That

DR.. John D. Bear.
Dear Sir: During the civil war l
contracted deep cold and pleurisy
from exposure which left me with a
bad cough that have never been
able to get rid of For the last eight
years it has been so continuous thai
| could not rest in a reclining posi-
ton. My lungs hurt me all the time
and panied me when l would breathe
and | could not stand to rub my hand
over my chest. My wife died five
years ago with consumption and
often wondered if | gave it to her or
not, as | had contracted the cough
first and after nursing my wife all the
time myself, | felt sure | had con
sumption and would follow her soon
but am happy to say that | feel bet
ter today than since the Civil War,
and it is all due to taking Bears
Emulsion When | started to take the
first bottle | was so weak | could
hardly walk had to sit up in bed at
night, had no appetite and my lungs
felt sore all over-today I fell strong

cough at all during the night
Very truly yours.

am very proud of the above test-
monial, as | have known Mr. Breeder
all my life and he always had this
cough and it was supposed that he
had contracted consumption from his
wife. Some of my friends laughed
when l told Mr.. Breeder if Bears

build up his system, l would refund
his money. Now if you or your

A basketlike receptacle will be provided into
which the mai-bags viii be dropped from above
Properly adjusted springs will prevent injury TO
the mail-matter and the sighting-device designed
by Lieutenant Scott viii make it impossible for
the aerial maiI-carrier to miss the receiving
basket and hit any one.
The use Of the sightingdevice, however, is by
no means as simple as it may seem The secret
lies in setting the telescope right and to accom-
plish this reference must be made to a some
what complicated series OF diagrams and tables
worked out by Lieutenant Scott and which take
into consideration all possible heights and speeds
Of the aeroplane.
It is necessary for the operator to calculate
the speed at which he is travelling and the
height from the ground. When the receiving
station is sighted through the telescope. the
mailbag is released by the pressure of lever.
and is shot with absolute accuracy into the
basket on land.
This mail-aeroplane has been thoroughly
tested in Europe where it has given entire salts
faction. At first, the operators found difficulty
in releasing the mailbag at the exact moment in
dicated by the sightng-device and slight errors
in the calculations operated to send the aving
mailbag wide Of its mark A little practise
however, was sufficient to obviate these errors
In every other respect the mail aeroplane was
a success from the first It was found that in the
special type designed for mail transportation a
hundred large sacks Of mail could be carried at
time and the speed Of the aeroplane was natur-
ally far in excess Of that Of any other conveyance
hitherto employed for postal work. Two passen-
gers are provided for-one to operate the car

But even more marked evidence OF
the Importance attached to this fg-

that in every case Of human sacrf-

an effort to STAY just fire persons.
At Lafayette, it was fUe members

It is hoped by the authorities that
