CITY COUNCIL NAMES
WIN. BIGCS' SUCCESSOR
Fire Chief Paul Wootton to Fill the
Vacancy Until Biggs Is Relieved
From Military Duty.
SALARY INCREASE ORDINANCE Ur

Council met in regular session on
Monday evening, President James in
the chair, and Councilmen Anderson,
Adams, Chattle, Ireland and Lutz pres
ent.
An ordinance to increase the sala-
ries and fees of certain officials of the
city was passed on second reading.
1t appears in full in the advertising
columns of The P~leasantville Press to-
day.
A resolution was passed to pay the
salary of G. William Biggs to and in
Guiding March 1st, and granting him
an indefinite leave of absence for mill
tary services without pay during said
leave. e
A resolution was passed to continue
Fire Chief Paul Wootton in the en-
ploy of the City at his present rate of
compensation, viz: $500 per day, dur
ing the absence of MI. Biggs.
DR.. w. J. Hudson, the city health in
spector, represented the Board of
Health and presented their view con.
corning the cleaning out of c~esspools
in the city. He said it was their de-
sire to purchase a pump and suction
hose and convert a sprinkler now un-
used into a carrying receptacle, and
to build a central disposal pool at the
gravel pit. A permit to be secured
from the Board of Health each time a
property owner desires to clean a cess
pool, and the paraphernalia to be at
the command of the taxpayers, subject
to the control of the Board of Health.
The City Solicitor thought the Board
of Health should simply pass regula-
tory measures concerning the cleaning
of cesspools. DR.. Hudson stated that
he would report back to the Board of
Health.
Mr.. Ireland directed attention to the
differences between the city and the
w. !. & S. Ry. Co. concerning the
continued running of water from the
fire plug On Shore Road adjoining
their property. Mr.. James reported
that the railroad company had agreed
to have a man on the job with tools
to open the plug whenever citizens
were DESTROYS of securing water.
The cost of the maintenance of the
water wagon has reached $SS. The
Company had agreed to meet this eX-
pense up to $50, and Mr.. Ireland was
instructed to confer with the Com
pany and see how much further they
are willing to go in the matter.
A resolution from the Fire Depart
ment requesting the approval of their
election of Paul Wootton as Chief, DR..
w. J. Hudson as first assistant and
Walton Risley as second assistant,
was read, and Council voted such APP
prevail.
The Atlantic City Suburban Gas &
Fuel Co. has petitioned the Public
Utilities Commission for permission to
increase the rate of gas from $1.40 to
$1.90 per thousand cubic feet. The
hearing will be held in Camden, on
Feb. 9th. The Solicitor was instruct
ed to accompany the Mayor and op-
pose the increase. Other municipali-
ties affected will also contest the in
crease.
Council then recessed until next
Monday evening, when it is expected
that the city auditor will be prepared
to make a report.

MONA CASES FOLLOW lNFlU-
ENZA, WHAT TO DO.

To be prepared for the serious out
breaks Of Influenza and pneumonia
that are now sweeping over the entire
country and that have seized on this
community Public Health Boards
everywhere are issuing cautions and
instructions to the public not to ne
slect treatment at the first symptom
of a cold and to cooperate with the
board and physicians in stamping out
the spread Of the disease.
No disease develops so quickly or
spreads so rapidly. The first symptom
usually is a sharp rise in temperature
to 1913 or 104 degrees, headache, pain
in the back, throat feeling dry or sore
Unless promptly checked by proper
treatment, the best plan is to go to bed
and stay there for at least week,
keeping warm to avoid pneumonia ana
let the minor ailment run its course
and also prevent the spread OF disease
to others.
Most of US, in these busy days, can
not afford If it can be avoided, TO lose
a week or more of work so it Is all the
more necessary that at the very hrst
sign Of grip or influenza a counter-act-
ing treatment should be taken.
Probably no better or more effective
treatment could be followed at such
time than to get from the nearest drug
store a complete Hyomei outfit con-
sisting of a bottle of the pure OIL or
Hyomei and little vestpocket' nara
rubber inhaling device into which a
few drops Of the oil are poured.
This is all you will need Put the

CANS will thus be charged with an an

there.
You can't do this too often. The

conveniently carried in a handbag or
in YOUR vestpocket. Every half hour
or SO turnout the day take 1t out ana
draw a few breaths of its pure healing
air into your nose and throat. RefleI
comes almost instantly. The Grip OF
Influenza symptoms subside. Con-
gestion ceases, fever disappears, throat
conditions become normal and you
soon are feeling zine. The outfit Is not
at all expensive for the rubber inhaler

Hyomei can be obtained at little cost
from any reliable druggist. Lots OF peo-

day.

prevent serious illness and save you
many dollars and help stamp out the
spread OF the disease.
