THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1917. PAGE FIVE MUST WAIT FOR GAS TANK UTILITIES COMMISSION NOT TO! PROCEED WITH WORK | ' i p On Advice of Its Expert--Excavation Would Be Un- in Cold a will have to get along] without new gas holder for an other year. On advice of Mr. Bur-| nett, the Toronto consulting engineer | and gas expert, the Utilities Commis- | gion on Monday afternoon decided that it would not be wise to proceed with the construction of the. tank | with winter approaching. | Owing to the extreme difficulty of getting labor, the Kingston Con- | struction Company, Mr. Burnett re-| ported. would be thirty-nine days! late in getting the excavation ready | for proceeding with the concrete foundation. He figured that it would 'be the 6th of October before the ex- cavation would be finished and that the tank could not be completed be- fore the 19th of January. He would | not guarantee the Commission a) £ood tank if the concrete was poured | during frosty weather. As the chief | need of the new tank is to take care| of the big demand for gas during December, the Commission decided that there would be nothing to be gained by proceeding with its con- | JMtrudtion when it could not be com- pleted earlier than the middle of] January It recognized that G. C Wright, who has been superinten- ding the work for the Kingston Con struction Company, has been up against it in regard to securing la bor and that the company's failure to have the excavation completed on contract time could not be very 'well avoided. Mr. Burnett was present at the meeting and explained the condi- tions to the commissioners Manager Folger remarked that it would tax the gas plant to supply the demand during the winter, but 'he would get along as best he could. Mr. Elliott wanted to know if 5. Burnett was the one who had in reality fallen down on the job. Mr. Chown said no to this sugges- tion.

Not Ready and It wise to Pour Concrete Weather, Kingston a Hereford, Qué,, Sept. 25.-- Captain Peabody is well known all through this section, and his cure by use of Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills has aroused great interest in this great medicine. The Captain had been suffering for a long time, and could never get any treatment to afford lasting relief un- til he, began using Dr. Chase's Kid- ney-Liver Pills, : Captain A. Peabody, Hereford, Que., writes: "For years I suffered from indigestion, rheumatism and neuralgia, Lightninglike pains would shoot all through my body, and I'also had severe pains over my left kidney and through the hips. I doctored for years and tried all kinds of reme- dies, but the only result was money spent without relief. At last I read in Dr. Chase's Almanac of his Kid- ney-Liver Pills and decided to try them. One box made such a change that!I sent for five more. Before I had finished them the pains in my kidneys and hips had disappeared, and '1 was clear of those sharp, shooting pains through the body. I still take these Pills occasionaily to keep my bowels regular, and would not be without them, as I have them to thank for my cure, "I can also speak highly of Dr. Chase's Catarrh Powder and Linseed and Turpentine. The former cured me of catarrh in the head, which caused frequent headaches. I am completely cured of this now, and breathd freely as when a boy. The Linseed and Turpentine preved of great benefit for a bad cough which bothered me continually for three winters. Last winter I took ons bot- tle of the Linseed and Turpentine, and have not been bothered with a cough since," Dr, Chase's Kidney-Liver "Pills, one pill a dose, 256 cents a box, all dealers, or Edmanson, Bates & Co., Limited, Toronto.

Mr. Elliott remarked that the com- missioners were no doubt agreed that Mr Burnett's recommendation should be accepted, but regretted ; : they were unable to get the tank a | by December as expected. It would # s : ! be folly not to accept his recommen- dation, Mr. Chown pointed out that with the steel situation as it is he could see no prospect of getting the tank 'completed before Christmas and as Christmas time produced the heav jest demand upon the gas supply the tank would mot be nearly so badly needed a month later, To Mr. Elliott, Mr. plained that he had expected the contractors to have the excavation completed thirty days ®arlier than it would be, in which case it would have been possible to have got the tank finished early in December without causing damage to the con- crete Mayor Hughes said he fied that the contractors their best They had high wages to get men.

On the first sign of any loosening of the bowels it should not be ne- glected, but should be looked after immediately, for if not diarrhoea, dy- sentery or some other serious bowel complaint may ensue.
