tions in the city free. Commissioner
DIR. Kraemer and Chief Engineer
Sherrerd explained that the same plan
had come up several years previous,
but on investigation it was found
that 1t was bad because the men
who were working on the Ice during
the cutting season would bring I'M
purities into the water supply. Notn-
ing was done in the matter and Com
missioner Gillen did not even put his
plan into the form of a resolution.
The veto of Mayor Jacob Haussllng

of Commissioner Kraemer. The
Mayors veto was overridden, all tie

exception of Chairman Patrick IL.

line and as some contractors broke q
pipe some time back, tying up many
factories, the board would not allow
Reilly to remove the pipe. A con-
ference will be arranged with the
Passaic Valley Sewer Commission in
the near future to adjust the mat
ter.
The next meeting will be held Tues
day of next week, owing to Thurs
day being Thanksgiving Day and q

During the coming months of biting

What glasses are to Weak

eel a 1o-cent box now.

Get 10-cent box now.
Most old people must give to the
bowels some regular help, else they
suffer from constipation. The condi-
ton is perfectly natural 1t is just
as natural as 1t Is for old people to
walk slowly. For age is never so
active as youth. The muscles are less
elastic. And the bowels are muscles.
So all old people need Cascarets.
One might as well refuse to aid weak
eyes with glasses as to neglect this
gentle aid to weak bowels. The bowels
must be kept active. This is impor-
tant at all ages, but never so much
as at fifty.
Age is not time for harsh physics.
Youth may occasionally whip the
bowels into activity. But lash can't
be used every day. What the bowels
of the old need is a gentle and natural
tonic. One that can be constantly
used without harm. The only such
tonic is Cascarets, and they cost only
10 cents per box at any drug store.

Paris.-What seems to amount 10
a crisis in the French army is caused

AS one paper asks, has France come
to this, that it resembles China, where
the military mardarins in the past
held the lowest rank in the social
hierarchy? Such would seem to be
the case, according to the protocol
drawn up by a recent circular, accord
ing to which a sub project in a remote
section of the country would take
precedence over general command
ing the garrison at an official tunc-
ton.
IL is no wonder, therefore, that seri-
GUS changes and improvements have
been suggested and are contemplated
by the government. The minister OF
war has stated in an interview that
he will certainly not allow the officers
to continue to be treated with the
fragrant neglect of their pecuniary SIT
uation from which they have suffered
in the past. The question, he said
was uppermost in his mind from the
day he returned to the ministry. he
spoke to his colleagues in the cabinet
on the matter, and asked Gen. Joffre
to prepare a scheme for considerably
raising the pay. The increase. ne
said, would be uniform. 1t applied to
all grades, and the rise contemplated
at present was at least 9S month.
1t will be impossible, says the minis
ter, to carry out the scheme, simply
by including the matter in the army
estimates A special law will be nee
essary, and bill to that effect will
be laid before parliament. This is
the only way in which the grave crisis
with which the French army Is threat
ened as regards the recruiting Of its
officers can be settled
