Humphreys Seventy-seven
For Colds, Influenza,
g Trip

The cumulative effect of advertis-
ing a good thing in the Sunday and
Daily Papers for many years, created
such large sales for "Seventy-seven"
during the Grip epidemic that we
could not meet the demands and were
obliged to stop advertising for a time
to catch up with the orders
To get the best results, take "Sev-
enty-seven" at the first feeling of the
Grip or Cold.
If you wait until you begin to
cough and sneeze, have sore throat
and influenza, it may take longer.

RIVAL NAVIES FEEL NO
HATRED, Is DECLARATION
CONTINUED FRMo PAGE ONE

nearly eighteen months, yet there has
not been a single battle in the old sense
Of the word Similarly on the sea things
have hitherto tended to be OF the nature
OF skirmishes rather than set fights. No
battleship has once engaged another bat
tleship, and even when, on the Dogger
Bank, battle cruisers fought each other,
there was no stsnd-up fight on the old
lines. Things have altered much during
the last few months, and sea fights are
now apt to Be lost and won before q sin
gle shot Is fired.
IF however, the question be put in
another form, Will the German feet
come outT then I answer that / believe
It will, and that having once come it
will never return. But that doesn't neces-
sarily mean a spectacular fight on Trafal-
gar or Tsushima lines-Dreadnousht
hsmmerins Dreadnought TIL one side II
annihilated in the crash Of gigantic
struggle. More probable II is that our
submarines, in which we now have an
Overwhelming superiority, will slaughter
the German D-eadnouhts while our bat
tie feet hangs around waiting to mop
Up the pieces. There is no poetry in
IN dern naval warfare; scientific slaugh-
ter Is now the order Of the day.
Pushed BY Public Opinion
The Germans probably will come out
because Of the pressure OF public opin-
ion in the Vaterland, rather than because
Of any strategical objective. Germany
has spent enormous sums in creating the
navy. which now lies idle In the Kiel
Canal. From the Kaiser's point Of view
an unbsaten fleet Is something to bar
gain with in case Of land failure, or to
do something with in case Of victory. As
a business proposition, this Is sound
enough. but for the fact that the Ger
man people have been taught for years
that both their ships and men are better
than ours. 1t is quite untrue, OF course,
but they have been told the lie so often
that the majority OF them honestly be-
Heve II. And so, when the land pres
sure grows severe. there probably will
be frantic demand for a last sporting
hazard on the sea, a demand so insistent
that the Kaiser will be unable to resist
It.
Indeed. when il is realized that the
game is up. the Kaiser himself may be
driven to lead his feet to destruction,
the feet being hrs especial toy and he
the man wIo first told his people, our
future lies on the water 1t will be but
poetic justice IL this be his doom, to
go to perdition with the feet which he
created with the set purpose to destroy
US.
That Il will be destruction for the
Germans d sure and certain. We are
about three to one against them in
DreRdnoughts, and every British Dread
nOughts crew Injured with eighteen
months Of hardship, while the Germans
have grown fat and lazy in harbor In
submarines our superiority must be
quite ten to one, possibly more. It Is in
advisable to attempt to give exact fig
ures- In all subsidiary craft. from battle
cruisers to destroyers, the superiority
rests with Us.

Lately they were informed by the

The hearing Saturday night was only

telling of the greatly increased cost of
maintaining teams and of the other
things that enter into their work ana
declaring that 20 cents was the lowest
price at which they could haul pa 'sen-
gers and make a living. The matter
will undoubtedly be held in abey:lice
until after the June meeting and the
hackmen will continue to charge 25
cents and up At this meeting also was
presented a notice signed by the
teamsters of the city that they would
not work for the city after Saturday
night for less than S. for 1wc-horse
team or $3.50 for single team per day
Of nine hours. At the May meeting a
request for an increase in their lay to

teamsters did not care to wait and got
together and signed up the agreement
to stop work on Saturday night unless
the advance was granted. No action
was taken on it as none was possible.

A special meeting of the city gov
ernment was held at City hall Satur-
day evening at which it was voted to
authorize the city solicitor to take
steps to take by right of eminent do
main the lot of land which is needed
by the city for the extension OF the
Brook street schoolhouse, as the price
asked by the owner is considered un-
reasonable by the city council. 1t was
also voted to give the special commit
tee authority to have plans drawn for
the extension Of the building. The
meeting was called to order at about
S o'clock by Mayor Boothby with all
Of the aldermen and most of the coun-
Gil present and he read the warrant
and the order for the taking of the
land was presented. The boards went
into Joint session and Superintendent
Perkins explained that the room was
badly needed. At present Ward 2,
where the school is located is showing
the largest increase in scholars of any
ward in the city. The Brook street
school is now very much crowded and
it is necessary to send scholars that
should go there to the North Grammar
and Walnut street school buildings,
which also results III crowding them.
To make this extension would not only
relieve the crowding there but would
also relieve these other buildings.
Councilman Stewart Of Ward asked
permission to ask a few questions and
this being granted he said that in his
opinion the law did not allow the city
to take the land by right Of eminent
domain and he was sorry that the city
solicitor was not present so that he
could ask him regarding it. The orders
were then passed in separate sessions.
The aldermen sitting as municipal Of
ficers then heard the hack men on the
question Of raise in the legal rate for
them to charge. Las. year an ordinance
was passed that fixed the rate in the
limits Of one mile Of the station at Is
cents. The hackmen have never paid
