Coytndllman Skean contended that viisn' fthe courts hold the pavement Vomdlitass the city should not be forced 0 jc-eept It and pay for it but that) (construction company should -be ill3' airite loser.

Tile council also acoepted the smrjendfcir of the franchise of the.

Can Prepare It at HMM an4 U»e Without the Kti»wledg* of Aayon«

J^or fifteen years I was a slave to aloohol, Every penny I could get my hands on was spent over the bar* I earned a good salary, and at first I was able to disguise" my condition, but finally my employer began to grumble. I fought and prayed against It, still I sank lower and lower until I lost my position. Then my friends turned me down owe after another, until I was left a wreck and alone. "Whiskey was the cause of it alL I was kicked around from one place to another. Drunk praoitcsHy all the time. All I wanted or cared for was whiskey, and I had reached that point where 1 would not stop drinking of my own accord.

A friend of former days wrote my sister, whose home was In Germany, telling her of my pitiful condition. SAe consulted a famous chemist. He gave her the prescription, a secret formula, and told her if she could arrange to put it in my coffee or tea it would destroy the appetite for aloohol In any i form. She took the first steamer for New York and when she found me I did not reoognlze her, and she hardly knew me. She immediately began to give me the remedy without my knowledge. In a few days after she arrived I noticed that whiskey did not taste the same. I tried other saloons with tbe same T«*nlt, After a month I could not drtak a droip, and in a short time my health began to improve, my brain to clear up. All the desire had left me. The chains of aloohol slavery had been broken. I was a new man. I secured a splendid positioin and have never taken a drink a_noe.

Tbe crav

ing has never returned. After eiglit years my sister told me how she worked it and gave me the formula. She was afraid to tell- me the secret before, forvfear I might go back. It is a simple, inexpensive, home remedy, which can he bad at any first-class drug store and I advise ever^ one who has a relative or friend addicted to the Liquor haibit in any form to try it. It's harmless and ma-rvelousty effective. Here is the prescription. Ask New Centre 1 Pharmacy or any druggist, for powdered Tescnnn. Dissolve one powder in coffee, tea, water or any other, liquid give one powder twice a day. Bach powder makes a dose. Do not let the individual know Tesetrm is being administered. It is tasteless and cannot be detected by any one.

In a short time all desire for drink should disappear, I feel so grateful for what it did for me that I aan glad to tell the whole world about it. I feel sure that after you have tried it you will thank me for publishing it. EL J. BROWN, Beckman Bldg^ Cleveland, O.

An ordinance appropriating $1,800 to the health board for the salary of Dr. Wnimm H. Davis, who has been engaged to assist especially in smallpox cases, and another making an appropriation of $5,00 for the park board were referred to the finance committee.

After argument over the ordinance appropriating $1,500 for the salary of -plumbing inspector for the year of 1&16, which was introduced F«b. 18, the council finally passed the ordlmanoe.. Heretofore tbe pluming inspector and the building inspector cave been forced to divide the building inspector's salary because the council refused to allow the plumibing inspector's salary. The offices were formerly canfbined and held jointly by Henry Raeber w*ho received the building teapeotor's salary. When Raefber was, discharged, the two offices, were separated but the oouncSl, n-rrt-n "Wednesday nSgM, refused to atlow the sa3ary of the pthnrfbing inspector.

An ordinance appropriating $5,000 to the street department with which to continue the work of that department until Dec. 81 was passed unanimously by tbe ootmdl. During the last two weeks only two men haste been engaged by the street department, as no funds were arvatlaftle.

Like o Boy at 50 Babbling Over With Vitality—Taking Iron Did It

Doctor out's Nraated Iron 1s gxeateat of all «tren«th builders Often In. «tmmm the «rtrencth and estduxanee of delicate, nerreiia folks

1 cent. two ntek« time.

NWW YORK, N. Y.—Not long ago a man came to nie who was nearly half a century old and asked me to grive him a preliminary examination for life in--suranoe. I Was astonished to find: him with the blood pressure of a boy of 20 and as full of vigor, vim and vitality as a young man in fact a young man he really was notwithstanding his age. The secret he said was taking iron— nuxated iron had filled him with re*newed life- At 30 he was in bad health at.46 careworn 'and nearly all in. Now at 50 a miracle of vitality and his face beaming with the buoyancy of youth.. As I have said a hundred times over, Iron is the greatest of all strength builders. If people w-ould only throw away patent' medicines and nauseous concoctions and take simple nuxated Iron, I am convinced that the lives of thousands of persons might be saved, tvho now die every year from pneumo*tiia, grippe, consumption, kidney, liver

i --i 4 11 NOTE.—Nuxated Iron, recommended and heart trouble, ctc. The real and 1 above by 3r. Sauer is' not a patient true cause which started their diseases was nothing more ,nor less than a weakened condition brought on by lack Of iron in the blood. Iron is absolutely necessary to enable your blood to change food into living tissue. Without It, no matter how much or what you tat, your food merely passes through you without doing you any good. You Son't get the strength out of it and as 1 consequence you becorpe weak, pale and sickly looking Just like plant trying to grow in a so-fl deficient in iron. If you are not strong or well you twe it to yourself to make the following test: See how long you can work ttr how far yo\i can walk without besoming tired. Next take two five-grain tablets of ordinary nuxated A*On three limes per day after meals for two' weeks. Then test your' stxesgth again ind see for yourself how much you aave gained. I have seen dozens' oi nervous, run-down people who were

ailing all the while, double their strength and endurance and entirely get rid of all symptoms of dyspepsia, liver and other troubles in from ten to fourteen days' time simply ""by taking iron in the proper form. And this after they had in some cases been doctoring for months without obtaining any benefit. But don't take the old forms of reduced iron, iron acetate or tincture of iron simply to save a few cents. You must take iron in a form that can be easily absorbed and assimilated like nuxated iron if you want) it to do you any good, otherwise it may prove worse than useless. Many an athlete or prize fighter has won the day simply because he knew the secret of great strength and endurance and filled his blood with iron before he went into the affray, while many another has gone down to inglorious defeat simply for the lack of iron..—B.

Sauer, M. D.

medicine nor secret remedy, 'but one which is well known to druggists and whose iron constituents are widely prescribed by eminent physicians everywhere. tJnilke the older inorganic iron products, it is easily assimilated, does not injure the teeth, make them black, nor upset the stomach on the contrary, it is a most potent remedy in nearly all forms of indigestion, as well e as for nervous, run-down conditions.

The manufacturers have such great wnflde&ee in Nuxated Iron that they offer te forfeit $100.06 to any charitable institution if they cannot take any man or woman under 60 who lacks iron and increase their strength 200 per cent, or over in four weeks' time, provided liiey have no serious organic trouble. They also offer to refund your money if it does not at least double your strongth and endurance in ten days' time. It is dispensed in this ejty by New Cenral pharmacy and all other druggists.

1 TELL MY MOTHER EVERYTHING I shall never forget the tenderness of my mother's embrace when I entered my old home.

I had wired her of my intention to visit her, but I had told her nothing of my troubles. Indeed, it was not necessary lor me to tell her. A mother"s intuition Informed her that something was wrong, and that I was hurrying to her because I needed her love and consolation. So when I threw myself into her arms, her first words to me were-. "It will come out all right, dear."

That she knew I was in trouble did not surprise me. I was so overcome with emotion at seeing her dear face once more and feeling those tender arms about me that I surrendered myself entirely to the wonderful influence of a mother's love. I might have been nothing more than a child, so completely was I enveloped by the affection which revealed itself in her embrace and comforting words. "It will come out all right,' she repeated. "Do not think of it. You are at home with mother now.'

It was like the old time of childhood, when she would kiss my bruised hand and tell me the pain was gone and that my wound was healed. And her words carried with them Almost as much of magic as in the old days, for I soon found myself smiling into her sweet face as we went from room to room, and she showed me how this one had been changed or how that one had been refurnished. "And now I want you to see your old room,' she told, me finally.

She led me to the door, but I could not cross the threshold. I could only &tand and gaze with eyes growing dimmer and dimmer at the sight of that dear nest of my childhood. Not a single thing had been changed. The same curtains the same carpet the same wallpaper, all as bright and as cheerful and apparently as new as when I last saw it. Even the toilet articles on my dressing table were arranged as they were when I used them as a girl. And as I looked I realised how dear I mast have been to my

tender eyes as they watched me start on, my honeymoon! After my departure she had gathered up the things which I used as a girl and had arranged my room as It used to be. I knew, as I looked about the cozy place, that it had received daily attention from loving hands, just as if I had been there. It was the knowledge of this abiding love this tender ministration to the girl I used to b,e this linforgetting mother's heart which made my eyes grow dim. I stood there for a long time choking back the sobs, but at length I could bear it no longer, and again I threw myself into those dear arms. Again I listened to her soothing words. Again I was comforted.

That evening in the twilight, sitting

did_ not seek to shield either Arthur or myself. "Where I was at fault I tried to tell the truth just as unsparingly as when I thought I was upon a pedestal of virtue and Arthur was the sinner against marital righteousness.

I confessed to the false philosophy of marriage which Arthur and I had pretended to believe and then, related how our mutual admiration had ripened into affection until we became in reality man and wife. Then step by step I led her up to an insight into the great happiness which Arthur and I attained, and laid bare the incidents which first caused me to suspect that Arthur's heart might easily be broken away from the anchorage of my love. I told of Mrs. Tanner and of the Staley girl. With just as much care to detail I told of Dicky. Then I, let her know of my meeting with Mariam and Mr. Gordon and of the weakness which permitted me to allow Mr. Gordon to make love to me.* Miss Regnier was described and all that I knew of Arthur's acquaintance with her was revealed. Then I told of my illness of Miss Thompson of my husband's mysterious absence of my repeated efforts to ascertain his whereabouts finally, of the awful revelation which was made to me of Miss Regnier's interest in me and of my pecuniary obligation to her. Then I told of my determination to return to my home. As I did I felt her hand tighten upon mine and I could feel again the love which enveloped me. I told her also of Arthur's letter, giving its substance. It

could not bring myself to permit even my mother to read that revelation of my husband's weakness. Yet the synopsis which I gave wis complete and accurate.

Throughout it all she listened attentatively with barely an interruption, and when I finished' she remained silent for a long time. "Do you still love him?" she finally asked with all the simplicity of hetf" dear, good heart. "I do not know."
