MAYOR TO CONFER
ON PAY INCREASE
Representatives of Police and
Firemen to Give Their Views.
City Lacks Funds
MAY DROP BONUS SYSTEM

Mayor Moore will confer today with
representatives of the citys police and
firemen and will explain to them the
city's financial situation to obtain their
views on the amount Of the proposed
increase in their pay.
Tomorrow Councils committee on
public safety will meet to take up the
administration's plans for bringing
about the pay increases. according to
Alexis j. Limeburper, chairman of the
safety committee.
It will be impossible at this time to
grant the police an increase to So a
day, Director Cortelyou and the May e
or's financial statisticians believe.
There is already deficiency Of ap-
proximately 81 900. 900 in the appropri-
alton for the police and firemen for
this year and it has been found that
an additional appropriation Of about
81 200 900 would be necessary for the
proposed increase to S5 day. It is
understood that Mayor Moore will tell
representatives Of the fremen and
police today that the reason there is
no money available for granting the
increase is because the Ware Smith ad
ministration, during its closing weeks
of last year, appropriated money suff
ci.nt to carry on the police and fire
bureaus for only nine months.
The present bonus system. which ha,
aroused the opposition Of both polio,
and firemen. will probably be discon
tinued.

Advertising Managers of
Real Calibre

an account with us is seven years and six
months.
The average life of accounts with agents
in general is eleven months.
Our business in 1919 increased more than
$50 per cent.
Large expenditures in advertising were
made through us in 1919 and 90 per cent of
their volume was from concerns that had
been through the first year, "prove-up"
period and had been using Donovan
Armstrong service for a period of years.
That $50 per cent. increase in our business
was based on absolute confidence in our pre-
dictions as to results and on our ability to
make good our predictions.
Already we are mapping out bigger cam
palgns than ever, for our clients. Clients
already are still further increasing their ad-
vertising appropriations-and 1920 prom
ises to be much bigger year for us than
1919.
Yet with it all our organization keeps
pace, our system G ives each present and
each new account the same enthusiastic in
terest that makes success inevitable
We will tell you more in detail of our
methods if you will drop us line. You
will be under no obligation and we have an
interesting story of success to tell.

have an advertising manager.
He should be man of real calibre, with
real salary, and with real responsibility.
We recommend the appointment of an
aggressive advertising manager every time,
if one is not already appointed.
He will be as helpful to us and to the sue

chandising plans as we will be to him. We

Time and again managers and statesmen
have told us that the advertising campaign

and to themselves.

Doctor Cupid
ONE OF HIS PRESCRIPTIONS

THAT love sometimes cures

recently been called to
the attention Of the public by a
prominent physician and college
professor. In some nervous dis
eases of women. such as hysteria,

where women were put in pleas

happy by falling in love, and in
consequence were cured of their
nervous troubles the weak, nerv-
Gus system toned and stimulated
by little Doctor Cupid - became
strong and vigorous, almost with
out their knowledge. Love is not,
however, the cure for all women.
Many a woman is nervous and irri-
table, feels dragged down and
worn out for no reason that she
can think Of. She may be ever so
much in love, but Doctor Cupid
fails to cure her. In such cases
the body is not sound-the
nervousness and other symptoms
are telegraphed all over the
body by the nerves the tele-
graphic system of the human
body), because the weak spot de-
mands attention. In ninety nine
per cent. of these cases it is the
womanly organism which requires
attention; the weak back, dizzy
spells and black circles about the
eyes, are only symptoms. Go to
the source of the trouble and cor
rect the irregularities. Tone up
the womanly system with a vege-

RAIN FLOODS LOCAL STREAMS

Nearly three weeks of almost con- tinual rainy weather has filled the nearby creeks and rivers to flood pro- portions. In many instances. recent reports say. the water has attained heights never known before in the per- iod of white occupancy. As there Is little stream mining going on, aside from dredging, the flooded condition of the streams has had little effect on the mining industry. So far no par- ticular damage has been reported aside from the loss of considerable quan- tity of fuel oil intended for use of the Julian dredge on Osborne creek. The oil, contained in tins. is said to have heen piled up on the cree;< bank. at point considered entirely safe from flood but was nevertheless swept away by the unprecedentedly high water.
