GAS ON THE STOMACH

When colicky pains accompany the presence of gas on the stomach the need of gentle laxative to clear away the offending food residue is imperative. If the condition of constipation is not quickly corrected coated tongue, erup- tions on the skin, headaches and back aches soon show that the posons have found their way into the circulation.
 The use of the gentle, laxative pills, Pinklets, will not only banish these un- pleasant symptoms quickly but, if used regularly for reasonable time, will really correct chronic constipation. Pinklets contain no poisons or harm- full drugs.

More records were shattered in legislative circles in this city during -the past year than at any other time in the history of the city government. When George A. Qusley was elected mayor it was freely predicted that it would be an epoch making year, and to a certain extent this has been true although those who expected to sec His Honor rage around like a hun gry lion seeking tasty commissioners, have been disappointed.I as only one board was disturbed by removal, that being. the case of Chairman Joseph R. Andrews of the board of public safety.
 Early in the year it. was seen that > the common council, or that part of 1t represented by the G. 0. P ma jority, did not intend to fight the mayor on legislative matters. AS tho democratic minority was powerless, his incumbency has been free from Storms, although an occasional cloud as big as his fist has appeared on the political horizon There have been differences of opinion aired in the halls of the council, but Mayor Qug- Fey nas had pretty much his own way
 Mayors New Records.
 In certain respects Mayor Quigley successors to overtake. For instance < he has stepped down from the dais at council meetings and has addressed the council nine times. This in it. self is an unusual record. Then again he hasebeen called upon to vote on three different propositions and he did so, voting twice on one meas sure. According to the records of the city clerk, Mayor Quigley has used the power of veto six times and on noneN of these occasions has the veto been overriden by the council

 There has been a number of changes in the complexion of the council since it first, met. Aldermen E. w. Christ and William H.

 The most important business trans acted at q short meeting on Jaunary was the appropriation of $1.000 for the water commissioners with which to prepare the ice house and machin- cry for a new harvest.
 Water Supply Development
 Temporary plans for the develop ment of the upper Burlington water supply were submitted by the water commissioners at the January 20 meeting. The commissioners stated that they wished to take up the work in the near future. It was under stood that no engineers whose price per diem was of a staggering char acter would be engaged. The council voted that the hiring of engineers would be contingent on their approval by Mayor Quigley and City Engineer Hall. The water commissioners re- quCsted endorsement of q plan to is sue $200.000 in bonds for the prose cution of the work at Burlington and this was granted.

First Meeting. April 24.
 The first meeting was held on April
 "A, 1914, with Mayor Qugley in the chair Aldermen Christ and Shine, leaders of their respective parties, presented list of committees and these were adopted. There have been numerous changes in these commit tees during the year. due to resigna- tions and promotions. One of the first acts of the council was to re- elect P. J. Egan to the board of water commissioners for three years.
 A new method for the city treas urer's office was adopted, making it obligatory on the treasurer to bank daily all sums collected by him each day in excess of $10O. An important change was also made relative to the duties. powers and obligations of the president of the board of public works Most of the responsibilities and duties were transferred to tho city engineer in keeping with the pro- gram of the mayor to radically recon struct the public works department.
 The first tilt of the year came when the board of health recommended to the council that the contract for the collection of garbage be awarded to J J. Donahue at $6,6OO per year. As this was not the lowest bid the mat ter was shunted back to the board for further consideration.
 The councils initial appropriation of thesyear was of $66 900 for the con- struction and equipment of the Pre- Y ocational Grammar school This was at the second meeting on April 29
 Mayor on Floor Three Times.
 It was at this meeting also that Mayor Quigley's voice was heard for the first time in support of a mea sure. His honor took the floor three times to urge the acceptance of the report of the ordinance committee re- garding establishing the salary of the city engineer at $3,500. Some of the members thought this an exces SVe figure. The matter was referred to the salary committee and five min utes' recess was declared. On the council reconvening the salary con- mittee reported in favor of the sal- ary and the report was accepted.
 For the second time a report was received from the board of health that the garbage col- lection contract be awarded to J. J. Donahue. For the second time. 1t was sent back to the board.
 The resignation of Councilman A. N. Rutherford, the "baby of the coun- cil was received at this meeting with regret Councilman Rutherford did not regret the move as he was later appointed building inspector at a sal ary of $500.
 Initial steps were taken to better city lighting and 1t was voted to ap- point a committee to confer with the board of public works with a view to securing increased and better scr vice.
 The annual message of the mayor was submitted to the council at the regular meeting on May IS. report was received from the board of health recommending that the garbage col lection contract be awarded to Henry Furman for $2,95O per year. Su- perintendent of Health T. F. Rceks

JAPAN DECIDES TO
SEND ULTIMATUM
Minister of Justice Says China Will
Be Invited to Reconsider Stand
Against Concessions.
WILL NOT VIOLATE TREATIES

TOXIC, May Minister Of Jus
tice Ozaki is quoted by the newspa-
pers as having announced that the
cabinet had decided to send an ulti-
matum to China urging It to recon-
slider the decision to make no further
concessions to Japan.
1t is expected in official circles
that Japan has no desire to resort to
force, but that China must be made
to realize this country is determined
upon the acceptance of its program
for solidifying the peace of the ORR
emit"
The press considers the ultimatum
proper step. The Times believes
that IL China refuses to yield, Japan
should occupy provinces like Shan
tung until China comes to its
Senses"
Claims No violation.
This. the paper says, would not con-
stItute a violation OF China's integrity.
since its sole aim would be to ensure
the integrity of the country"
The belief u professed in some circles
that China may send word at the last
minute that additional concessions arc
possible and in this way avert the ulti-
matum.
The Kokumin Shimbun today quotes
Premier Oxuma as expressing his disap-
pointment with the course of the Chinese
authorities In the beginning. 1t Is re-
lated, Japan asked China to keep the pro-
ceedings secret, In spite of China's
promise to this effect, the proceedings
were published broadcast
Continuing. the Kokumun Shimbun says
1t is in position to declare with authority
that whatever action Japan takes, its
course Will not disturb the friendly re-
lations with the United States and Great
Britain. 80. .~-za-. :.
In conclusion, this paper says that the
appeal OF China to America through the
missionaries Will not move the United
States to interfere.
There have appeared statements in
the Japanese papers that DR.. Sun Vat
