let some of the Honorable Members
of this Council know of the chang
es and economies that have taken place
in the Police Department from the time |

some of the members to known that

tai personnel of 46. Now | am going to give
you, Mr.. Chairman. a statement Of the
reduction in the number Of personnel that
have taken place during the years from
1920 to the present time. In 1921 1922
the personnel was reduced to "A, III 1922
1928 to AZ. in 1924 1925 to 40 and in 1925
1926 it was further reduced to 80 as you
find it today If members will turn to their
copies of the budget for the current ifs
cal year 1927 1923. So that instead OF
% PatrOlmen, s ~Sergeants, 3 Inspectors
and 3 Assistant Inspectors as there was in
1920. we have today oniv IL Patrolman, 4
Sergeants, aud 4 Inspectors practically
only two as the positions of two others
are at present vacant. So much for the
reduction Of the personnel. Now let US
look at the reduction Of the expenses in
connection with the department since
1920. 10 1920-l921 the amount budgetted
for the department was FrcS. 229. 10000;

Jack asked. in as OTTER tone, a tone

her hands twisted together like little

Byrd picked up her mending bas-

Millions of Families Depend
on DR.. CALDWELL Prescription

When DR.. Caldwell started to prac-
tice medicine, back in 1875, the
needs for a laxative were not as
great as they are today. People lived
normal, quiet lives, ate plain, whole
some food, and got plenty of fresh
air and sunshine. But even that
early there were drastic physics and
purges for the relief of constipation
which DR.. Caldwell did not believe
were good for human beings TO put
into their systems. So he wrote a
prescription for a laxative TO be used
by his patients.
The prescription for constipation
that he used early in his practice,
and which he put in drug stores in
1892 under the name of DIR. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin, is a liquid vege-
table remedy, intended for women,
children and elderly people, and they
need Just such a mild, safe, gentle
bowel stimulant as Syrup Pepsin.
Under successful management this
prescription has proven its worth
and is now the largest selling liquid
laxative in the world. The fact that
millions of bottles are used a year
proves that it has won the conf.
dence. of people who needed it to get
relief from headaches, b~iliousness,
flatulence, indigestion, loss of appe-
tite and sleep, bad breath, dyspepsia,
colds and fevers.
Millions of families are now never
without DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pep
sin, and il you will once start using
it you will also always have a bottle
handy for emergencies.
IL is particularly pleasing to know
that the most OF il is bought by
mothers for themselves and the chill.

as valuable for elderly people. All
