EAHHULL BOARD OF TRADE ENDORSES FIRE HALL At five o’clock on Wednesday a meet: ' ing cf the councii of the board of Trade was held. to hear Chief Crandell read the council’s proposed addrese to the electors re the Era hall by-law and to consider endorsing it. The chief read a draft: of the circular and said the council would be glad if the Board could throw the weight of its endorastion in favor 0! that docu- meat. It outlined the dlfiicuhies of the present; system and asked the ratepayers to vote for the bv-law next Friday. After asking that the eatima'ed saving in fuel be lowered from $160 to $100 the Board unanimously adopted the circu‘mr and ex- pressed 3 strong desire that the ratepayers should not reject the by-law. A’d. Sootheran said some peopEe want- ed the demands of the insurance people ignored but that could not: be done for the non-tarifi' companies could not: carry the insurance of the town and at any rate mortgage companies would not accept the lutter’s policies; It: was therefore neces- sary to meet the demands of the Under- writers’ Association . Pres. Flavolleâ€"The plans drawn up some time ago. Chief Crandellâ€"There will be some opposition, in the east, to the alto. Many think it shouid be built further down. Mr. Rich. Sylvesterâ€"What plans are to be used 2 Mr. Robt. Kennedyâ€"Your circular says the cost of heating at present is $200 and that the new building can be heated for $40. Do you think 3160 can realiy be saved ‘3 Chief Czandegilâ€"They say 10 tons of coal will do it. Mt. Bakerâ€"That will cost more than $40. A CHEMICAL ENGINE Mr. R. Sylvesterâ€"I think the council would buy a chemical engine. Nothing is more important. I saw one working in Brandon. One horse draws it and it often got to a fire before the hose wagon had started. It takes only a barrel of water. All agreed that the estimated saving was excessive. The presidentâ€"Any money spent in protecting the town from fire is wisely spent. The chemical engine in a. very valuable means of fighting fire. At this meeting, however. we can scarcely recom- mend anything became the council has asked about the fire hall only. The presidentâ€"The by-law is already printed with the sum required. Mr. Sylvesterâ€"I thought the price might be included in the by-law. MONTHLY MEETING The presidentâ€"Mr. geotheran has sug- gested that the Board hold a regular monthly meeting. I think the Idea is a good one. Then the members will know when they are expected to attend. It will be better than the present way. The Board endorsed the circular to the electors. Mr. Bakerâ€"How would the first Thurs- day of the month do? Circulars could be issued letting members know of the regu- lation. In could also be advertised in the local papers. The day was adopted. WATERWORKS COMMISSION The president asked if the Board wish- ed to do anything toward electing suitable waterworks commissioners. In was a most important matter. The presidentâ€"Io will have the whole management of the works. There will be plenty of work . Mr. Bakerâ€"What will the duties of the commission be? A general discussion of names and methods followed and it was agreed that: the meeting was not large enough to 360th any platform, but than it must: be seen to, that: good men are nominated. Special Meeting Approves the Council’s Effort â€"At midnight on Wednesday night fire broke out in the residence of Elisha Newton, Arden, Ont. The house v26 totally destroyed, and two children. ageh six and eight, were burned to death. Both were girls. The rest of the family barely escaped with their lives. They were awakened by the smoke, and before the little ones could be rescued the place was a mass of flames. The fire was caused by a defective chimney. Mr. Newton, 3 driver on the Rathbnn Company’s logs, was away at the time. â€"â€"It has been decided by the militia authorities to exempt from annual drill this year all regiments from smallpox- infected districts. Special medical re- ports are being received at the depart- ment from military districts in which disease has appeared, and every precau- tion will be taken to protect the camps. Dr. Montizsmbert states that there are only about fifty cases of smallpox in Canada, and all of these are of an ex. tremely mild character. Rigid inspzo tion is being maintained along the borders of the Western States, and all arrivals from the neighboring republic are closely watched. â€"The United States Iegation having ninly waited four weeks for a reply to News of the Week the note of April 24, regarding the Amer! can indemnity claims.

Turkish Min. tater of Foreign Aflairs, a new note couch- ed in more precise terms and insisting upon a, prompt settlement. The note produced a great impression. as the Ports thought: the matter postponed. if not abandoned.

He was William Amend, forty-three vears of age. and had been an inmate of Bellevue hospital since Sept. 7, 1899. For twenty- one years up to the time he entered Believue he had never slept: in a bed. He drank on an average seven quarts of beer a day. he told Dr. Dougherty. and his weight increased from 180 to 460 pounds.

THE WATCHMAN-WARDER DREADED The Story of a Dyspeptic Who Has Found a Cure. THERE IS AN INTIMATE CONNECTION BETWEEN GOOD HEALTH, HAPP- INESS AND GOOD DIGESTIONâ€"DR. WILLIAMS’ PINK PILLS BRING ABOUT THESE CONDITIONS. From the Tribune, Deseronto. Without good digestion there ' can be neither good health or happiness. More depends upon the perfect work- ing of the digestive organs than most people imagine, and even slight funct- ional disturbances of the stomach leaves the victim irritable, melancholy and apathetic. In such cases most people resort to laxative medicines, but these only further aggravate the trouble. What is needed is a tonic 5 something that will build up the system. instead of weakening it as purgative medicines do. For this purpose there is no medicine equal to‘ Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. They en- rich the blood, and strengthen and stimulate the digestive tract from the first dose to the last. In proof of this assertion the case of Mr. Thomas A. Stewart. the well-known and genial proprietor of the Oriental Hotel, Deseronto, may be quoted. To a re- porter of the Tribune who mentioned the fact that he was sufiering from dyspepsia, Mr. Stewart saidzâ€"“Why don’t: you take Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills?” Asked why he gave his ad vice Mr. Stewart. continued: ‘Simply because they are the best) medicine for thufi compla'int I know of. that complaint I know of. For years I was a great sufferer from indigestion, and during that time I think I tried a score of medicines. In SOme casesI1 got temporary relief, but not a cure] Ifairly dreaded meal times and the food that I ate gave me but little nourishment. On the recommenda- tion of a friend ‘I began using Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills a little over a year ago. I soon experienced relief and no longer dreaded meal time, but as I was determined that the cure should be permanent if possxble. I continued taking the pills in light doses for several months. The result is every vestige of the trouble left me and I have as good an appetite now as any boarder in the house, and my digestive organs work like a charm. I may also add that my general health ‘was greatly improved asa result of insing the pills.” ‘0‘. “130 yofi object to my publishing uhis in the Tribune?” aaked the re- pct-taggd _. Q . P_ ‘ r “Well. Ihave no desire f0r pub- liciby,” said Mr. Stewart, “but if you think it will help anyone who suffers asId1d, you may publish the facts.” Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills cure by go- ing to the ro.t of the disease. They renew and build up the blood, and strengthen the nerves, thus driving disease from the system.
