stewart Browne Busy.


Stewart Browne was feverishly busy
yesterday preparing injunction suits. but
there was no record of any papers hav-
ing been flied or served.
First, Mr.. Browne purposed to have
the Estimate Board restrained from coll
lecting the Sl3. 700. 900 which must be
raised to meet the city's share Of the
direct state tax, Mr.. Browne say the
tax is uncoustitutlolial.
Second, he would restrain the board
from adopting items In the budget
amounting to $1,000 900. Among these
| Items are s229,l2O In Fire Department
salaries, s3l2.5sO Police Department
salaries, s3,2S0 Health Department sala-
ries, $4,000 Board of Assessors salaries.
$500. 900 College Of the City OF New York
salaries. and s400, 900 Hunter College
salaries. These represent the excess of
the budget allowances over the appro-
prlations fixed by the Charter. Courts
have often decided that the Board of
Estimate has the right to raise salaries.
Third, Mr.. Brown asks that the
Board of Elections he enjoined from
counting the votes cast for and against
the Constitution. He says the new
organic law Is CONTRARY TO the republi-
can form of government and therefore
Is In violation of the Federal Constitu-
ton.
Mr.. Browne said last night that he
would formally apply for the injunction'

officials are not worrying.

Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo,
N. Y. Experiments at DR.. Pierce's

there is no other eliminator Of uric
acid that can be compared to it. For
those easily recognized symptoms of
infiammation-as backache, scalding
urine and frequent urination, as we'll
as sediment in the urine. or II uric
acid in the blood has caused rheuma-
tism, it is simply wonderful how sure
ly "Anuric" acts. The best Of results are
always obtained in cases of acute
rheumatism in the joints, in gravel
and gout, and invariably the pains and
stiffness which so frequently and per-
sistently accompany the disease rap
idly disappear.

mating uric acid, and is harmless but
reliable chemical compound that may
be safely given to children. but should
be used only by grown-ups who actu-
ally wish to restore their kidneys to
perfect health, by conscientiously
using one box-or more in extreme
cases-as "Anuric" (thanks to Doctor
Pierce's achievement) is by far the
most perfect kidney and bladder cor
