NEIGHBOR! clean OFF
that Sidewalk OR
COPS IL Get YOU

Assistant City Solicitor Lynn today
issued a warning to citizens 70 remove
the snow and ice from their sidewalks II
they wish TO avoid arrest and prosecu-
tion under the snow ordinance.
This ordinance directs that snow be
removed from sidewalks within ten
working hours after it has fallen. Mr..
Lynn said he did not think that citizens
could be cSpected TO remove the snow
on Sunday and that he considered that
the ten working hours should be com
puted from o'clock this morning,
which would make the dcadline for snow
and ice 4 o'clock this afternoon. He
suggested that where there is ice on the
sidewalks that salt could be sprinkled
on IT, The city ordinance forbids the
use Of ashes In spite OF this fact ashes
were noticed on a number of sidewalks
today.

GASOLINE SOAKED
CLOTHES BURN MAN

Edward Barlow aged 26 years, OF
No. 300 Union street, Is in a serious
condition at Delaware Hospital as a
result OF an accident which occurred
yesterday. Barlow was riding a
motorcycle at Front and Union streets
when the machine skidded and threw
him intOt the street. When the ma
chine fell over. the gasoline tank
was broken and the contents spashed
over Barlow and saturated his cloth
ing.
The man then hurried to a garage
al No 170S Lancaster avenue to get
warm. There was a fire in the place
and Barlow backed up close to this
to dry out his clothing. Before he
was aware that the heat was so great,
his clothes burst into flames, the
gasoline that saturated them having
become ignited. The next instant
Barlow was a human torch, having
become enveloDed in fire.
The mans clothing was torn from bis
body and the flames were extinguish-
ed. but not before he had been badly
burned all over the body. The po-
lice patrol removed him TO the hos
pital.

Commission TO purchase property

Nervous Period
icaI Headaches

This trouble commonly called sick head
ache, is said TO be due to the retention OF
urea in the system. Often it IS stated that
a poor condition of the blood is a cause OF
these headaches, or that Il IS a nervous
condition; and IN certain cases, no doubt
this IS true.
Where treatment IS demanded, Il Is more
for the pain than anything else, and DR..
A. F. Schellschmidt OF Louisville, has
found anti-kamnia tablets to give prompt
and satisfactory relief Rest should be
insisted upon,m he says, "and the patient
should go to bed, darken the room, and all
the attendants and family should be as
quiet as possible. An emetic will some
times shorten the attack. The bowels should
be kept open with "Actoids"; a hot bath and
a thorough rundown with a coarse towel,
often give grateful relief. Two anti-kamnia
tablets when the first signs appear, will
usually prevent the attack. During an at
tack, one tablet every hour or two will
shorten the attack and relieve the usual
nausea and vomiting" These tablets may
be obtained at all druggists. Ask for AK
Tablets. They are also unexcelled for ner-
vous headaches, neuralgia and all pains,

Why Tolerate CatarTh?

You have noticed, no doubt, that any
cold aggravates nasal cstarrh, and the
flow of mucous amazes you that such
Objectionable matter could find lodg-
ment in your head. To ignore this
catarrh when the cold subsidies is
wrong because it continues to slowly
injure the delicate Innings of the nasal
passages and clog them up.
To correct catarrh, cleanse the nos
trils frequently with solution Of warm
water and salt, insert vaseline on re-
firing, and take spoonful of Seott's
Emulsion after meals for one month.
