Following an animated discussion
on the merits Of the measure, the
Ordinance Committee OF City Council
last night, for the second time, voted
against the Powell resolution designed
to reduce the Administrative Board
to membership OF four instead Of
five.
Messrs. Ferguson and s-Christian,
two members Of the committed. who
voted against the proposed ordinance
atsa former meeting OF the commit
tee, were not present, and for a time
the adherents of the paper felt they
had majority. but when 1t came to
a vote Mr.. Cheatwood, who had sup
ported the resolution formerly voted
against 1t, and the resolution was lost
en- the vote OF four to three. as fol-
lows:
Noes English. Cheatwood, Ladd,
Fuller.
Ayes-Gunst, Paul. Welsh.
Some nlibustering was then engaged
in between Messrs. Gunst, Paul. Eng
lish and Fuller. as to the disposition
of the paper.
Powell CslnAm Votes.
Mr. Fred Powell. patron of the reso
luton. was present, and urged the COM
mittee to send 1t back to Council,
where. he declared, Il would be acted
upon favorabiy. He was inststent In
his statement that he had sunicteni
number Of Councilmen pledge to vote
for the measure IL II again reached
them.
Finally upon motion of Mr.. Fuller the
paper was sent back to Council with
thu recommendation that II be reject
ed. Despite his urgent request that the
paper be sent back to Council, so tina.
bidy might act. Mr. Gunst. voted
against its going back with such a
recommendation. So did MIR. Paul. Mr..
Welsh voted with the victorious four.
Mr. Powell will endeavor to get the
resolution before Common Council al

says. there are enough members to

very good results have been obtained
by feeding two pounds of ensilage aud
one pound Of hay. 1t follows naturally
that clover bay will give better results
than timothy because ensilage runs

while clover In rich in protein.
The Virginia station obtained excel

rate of from so to 200 pounds of ensi.

ut the Missouri station that ensiIage

HOW GRANDMA
CURES A COLD

Coughs and colds. no matter how
slight they may seem, are dangerous
things. Any physician will tell you
SO.
Nowadays folks aggravate a cough
or cold either by neglecting it or using
dangerous patented medicines which
bring false relief by deadening the
nerves of the nose and throat. Then
they wonder why they get the grippe,
bronchitis and even pneumonia.
But grandma KNOWS that nothing
will cure a cough or cold that does
not go direct to the cause of these dan
gerous Affections. That's why she turns
deaf ear to patented nostrums and
relies only on the fifty-year old pre-
scription she has always used. 1t is
called wonderoil and it hasn't failed
her yet
Wonderoil wipes out every symptom
of cold so quickly that you almost think
1t is done by magic. Wonderoil is
made from an old recipe that has been
handed down by several generations.
You can get the genuine Wonderoil in
Harrisburg from Geo. A Gorgas or any
other good druggist. Keep some in the
house all the time. Grandma does and
she KNOWS

O'NEIL MAY MISS
TURKEY DINNER
Likely to Stay Here Over
ThanksgivingDay to Dig Into
Insurance Matter

Insurance Commissioner J. Denny
O'Neil said to-day that he would re-
main here until tomorrow night and
might not get to McKeesport for
Thanksgiving at all because of the
delving he is doing into the affairs of
the Pension Mutual and Union Casu-
atty companies. Il am going all
through this matter again and finding
new things all the time" said he. The
commissioner characterized the an
swer of the Pension Mutual company
in the receivership proceedings as no
answer at all and said that when the
court hearing ended. the court would
name a receiver because of what the
State would show.
Commissioner O'Neil when asked IL
he had any comments to make on the
answer filed in the Pension Mutual
Life Insurance Company proceedings.
said: 1.-The answer filed by Mr.. Wood
is a clever attempt on his part to
muddy the waters and detract atten-
ton from the real facts. He does not
explain what has become of the miss
ing 100000 worth of bonds, that he
personally made affidavit were the
property of the Pension Mutual Life
Insurance Company. He practically
admits the insolvency of the COM
pany, and asks for time in order to
bring about the consolidation of some
of the companies he proposes to an
mex, and thereby make good the deficit
in capital and the impairment of the
reserves. He also fails to state that
it would require legal action as well
as the approval of this department In
order to reduce the capital stock of
the company.
"Mr. Woods scheme does not smell
good and this department is not 60
ing to stand for any wrecking that
will deprive widows and orphans of
the protection which they think has
been given them by the savings of
husbands and bathers."
