Alderman MacFHayden told the board
that $4,000 is needed for the extern
sion Of Harrison street to the rear
Of the police and charities building.
He said that unless this extension is
made it would be futile to build a
new building for the health and chart
ties departments in the rear of the
police and charities building. He
said 100000 would be added to the
grand list by the increase in taxable
property if the extension is opened.
Director of Public Works Courtade
asked for $4,000 more for extra labor
on draw bridges this year because
his men who have been working IL
hours day now work only eight, the
hours for other city employees
An item of $1.392.29 for special
machinery repairs the director ex-
planned, meant repairs to Yellow
Mill bridge. He said more money
was spent on th-5 bridge for repairs
every year than on all the others
put together and that the bridge is
constantly getting out of order.

scription

For every disease or ai1ment of a
womanly character, no matter how re-
cent or long standing, the one sure,
reliable remedy of proved merit is DIR.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
Women should never experiment with
unknown preparations; the risk is too
great. DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton is prepared from natures roots
and herbs and does not contain a par
ticle of alcohol or any narcotic.
Women are earnestly advised to take
it for irregular or painful periods, back
ache, headache, displacement, catarrhal
condition, hot flashes, sallow COM
plexion and nervousness.
For girls about to enter womanhood,
women about to become mothers and
for the changing days of middle age
DIR. Pferce's Favorite Prescription
should always be on hand.
It's temperance remedy that is exc
tracted from roots wittS pure glycerine
and its ingredients are published on
wrapper.
Any medicine dealer can supply it in
either liquid or tablet form. The cost is
modest, the restorative benefits truly
remarkable. Write DIR. Pierce, In
valids' Hotel, Buffalo, N Y, for free
confidential medical advice.-Adv.
