THE MAYORS MESSAGE.

The message of Mayor Paonessa to the common council last evening brought general approval amounting to quiet enthusiasm. Contrary to the feeling that has prevailed that econ omy might be carried to a danger ous degree in the administration, the message breathed spirit of progress and confidence which encouraged those who look for advancement not retrogression in the city affairs.
 Not the least practical of the rec concentrations was the one that urged members of the council to familiarize themselves with the workings of the various city departments, the Mayor declaring that he himself. in this re- spect. was open to advice and sug- gestion.
 The Mayor desires to have his ad- ninistration marked by something permanent in the line of advance ment. His presentation of the mat, ter of dsposing of the present city hall, as more valuable for purposes other than that for which it is now used and the erection of new city building where all the city's business may be transacted, is evidence of this fact, though the wisdom of the move ;r k or;t ;, la message. Also, along the same line, is his recommendation that at least one mile of permanent pavement be laid each year. Incidentally the message, in this regard as well as in all others, was noticeable for it's failure to criti- cize actions or lapses in administra- tions of the past.
 Among the matters disclosing a de- sire to advance along broad minded lines were the recommendations for physical training of policemen and firemen; the consideration of fhe two platoon system for the latter; the pur- chase of an ambulance for emergency cases better quarters for persons who are objects of charity of the city; the continuation of Rocky Hill sanitar ium; improvement of the Court of Honor and the emphasis laid on the seriousness of the situation at the South street and Clayton crossings where, it was urged, the grade crbss- ings should be abolished or gates in stalled.
 The recommendation that relief from the legislature be sought in transportation matters to the end that this city might have some voice" in transportation arrangements within it's boundaries touched upon q mat ter which Mayor Paonessa has very close to his heart The subject will be pushed under his administration.
 Looking to economy the recom- mendations for the higher taxing of property in outlying districts, on the
  the sense of value as it has been con- sidered, and that land, now not need ed but which Twas purchased to pro- tect the city water supply, be dis posed of, thus avoiding payment by the city of taxes on some of it. are 10 be commended.
 And to be commended also were the recommendation that the meetings of the boards be open, except in neces sary emergencies, and that the book keeping systems in some of the de- partments be improved.
 If Mayor Paonessa maintains the stand indicated in his message his in f1uence will be on the side of pro- gress, not retrogression inspired by timidity and whose watchword is re- trenchment.

THOUSANDS HAVE KIDNEY
TROUBLE and NEVER
SUSPECT IT


Judging from reports from drug
gists who are constantly in direct
touch with the public, there is one
preparation that has been very sue
cessful in overcoming these condl-
tiong. The mild and healing infiu-
ence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. It stands the highest
for its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of
the prominent Life Insurance Conn
panies, in an interview of the sub
ject, made the astonishing statement
that one reason why so many appli-
cants for insurance are rejected is
because kidney trouble is so common
to the American people, and the large
majority of those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect That
they have the disease. DIR. Kilmer's
Swamp Root is on sale at all drug
stores in bottles Of two sizes, medium
and large.
However, If you wish first to test
this great preparation send ten cents
to DR.. Kilrner & Co., Binghamton, N
Y, for sample bottle. When writing
be sure and mention this paper.
