Avoid Sedative Cough Medicines.

Ii you ant to contribute directly to
the occurrence of capillary bronchitis
and pneumonia use cough medicines
that contain iodine, morphine, heroin
and other sedatives when you have g
cough or cold. An expectorant like
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is what is
needed. That cleans out the culture
beds or breeding places for the germs
of pneumonia and other germ diseases.
That IS why pneumonia never results
from a cold when Chamberlaln's Cough
Remedy is used. 1t has a world wide
reputation for its cures. 1t contains no
morphine or other sedative. For sale

LEENY WANTS TO
HAVE STREET GATES

Mayor Leeny stated this morning
that he would insist upon the crossings
at Market and Jefferson streets being
equipped with gates to prevent railroad
accidents. The tragic affair Of early
this morning is attributed by the Of
ficial to lao kof safeguards for the
public. He stated that he will immed-
lately take UP the matter with the
commissioners and will draft an ordin-
ance compelling the railroads to have
crossing gates at these two streets
which he states are used too much to
be without some means Of protection
for the public.

but according to Mr.. Cox the several
city commissioners have to enact an
ordinance fixing the amount they are
TO draw as compensation for their

portion thereof; provided, however
that In such city no mayor shall re-
ceive salary greater than the sum Of
twenty-five hundred ($2,500) per an
mum, nor In such cities shall council
man receive as his annual salary an
amount greater than two thousand
($2.0OO) per annum; and provided,
further, that from and after the pas
sage of this act, and during the frst
term OF his office, under the provisions
OF this act, the mayor and councilmen
shall by ordinance fix their compensa-
ton as herein provided for their term

cilmen and mayor The latter In look.

taken by the state examiner. He
states that the maximum sum that ID
fixed by the legislature for city OF
this size is $1,000 per annum for the

ers. s.Ty
Both contend that the commissioners
have been receiving their salaries IL
legally since July 4, when the present
law became effective.
Mr.. Cox and his son who are audit
Ing the city accounts throughout, ex-
pect to be through In week to ten
days. They have now struck trial
balances and are practically done with
the Waterworks branch of city affairs
The three funds, special, sinking and
water have been merged and have
been found to work satisfactorily.
A plan to change the present plan
OF operating the city's business AFFAIRS
IN the various departments Of govern
'ment Is suggested by Examiner Cox
and the commissioners are favorable
to It, He would make considerable
changes in the manner OF conducting
accounts and the bookkeeping OF the
city. He recommends clerk for po-
lice court who will collect the fines,
keep record OF all police matters, etc.
An auditor for the city is another sug.
gestion and he urges the treasurer's
department to handle the collection OF
all poll tax instead Of having several
persons to do It as Is now the case.
The plan includes various changes
which the examiner states may be an
added expense In hiring of help, but
will materially aid the city In collect
ing what Is due 1t, and will save money
In the end. An ordinance looking to
this end, drafted under the guidance OF
Examiner Cox Is promised by the time
he completes his work of auditing the
city's affairs and compiling the report
asked by the state auditor.
