BILE AND BILIOUSAESS

Bile is manufactured in the cells of the liver. It assists digestion and prevents pntrefaction in the intestines. Bile is necessary to life but excess of bile is poisonous.
 The effects of excessive secretion of bile and failure to eliminate it from the blood, which is also function of the liver, are white-coated or brown-furred tongue, bit- ter taste ill the mouth, indigestion, head ache, lack of appetite, constipation and weariness.
 This is a condition popularly called biliousness and points directly to the need of something to regulate the liver. For this purpose the claim is made that Pinklets, the new laxative, are greatly superior to old-fashioned liver medicines which over-stimulate the liver and, when their use is stopped, leave the liver more torpid than before. That over-stimula- tion facilitates the liver is as certain as anything known in the science of medi- cine. Pinklets are tiny, sugar-coated pills, dainty to take, easy in action and they do not upset the stomach nor cause gripping. Given thorough trial they really correct chronic constipation.
 Your druggist sells Pinklets or they will be sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, 25 cents per bottle, by the Dr. W1IaUnN Medicine Co.,, Schenectady, \. Y. Send today for booklet and free sample.

MAYOR vETOES TWO PROJECTS.
Will Have Stanley Street Trees and DislikcS PaOncSSa Measure

Mayor Quigley has vetoed two res olutions passed by the common coun- cil at it's last meeting.
 One of the resolutions was to auth orize the cutting down of two trees in front of James Prendergast's prop erty at 1,150 Stanley street. A change of grade has been made and the trees will be saved
 Another resolution was to forbid the dumping of street sweepings at the corner of Main and West Main streets. The mayor says this matter should have been taken up by the board of public works and is too in- consequential to be discussed by the council.
