ported that the council tiro department
committees nro figuring on having nec
essary repairs made. It was remarked
that this "figuring" has been going on
for many days.
Concerning the building of a railroad
from West Scranton to Bald Mount
tho board's special committee reported
progress. Mr. Wlcklzer stilt la willing
to glvo a CO-foot right of way over his
land. This will carry the road the beat
part of the way up tho mountain. The
rest Is easy. Conferences arc to be held
with several parties who aro consid
ering tho construction of such a road.
T.lttl.1 was done In the way of busi
ness at last evening's regular month
ly meeting of tho West Scranton board
of trade, but that little indicates good
results. In fact positive results can be
looked for. Tho present state of nf
fnlrs concerning the fire protection for
this side, tho planning for an arrange
ment of a fire limit here, and steps to
wards securing nn option on property
for a narl: site, were among the most
Important matters under considera
tion. Tho session was well attended
and was called to order by Dr. P. F.
Struppler, vice president, in the ab
sence of President A. 11 Holmes.
Concerning the fire protection mat
ter, Secretary Oliver called the board's
attention to the Item which appeared
in these columns of yesterday's issue
of The Tribune. "The facts therein
Ktated," said he, In substance, "arc too
true and circumstances demand thnt
the oioDerty owners be taken care of.
As stated In that article we will soon
be without adequate llro fighting fa
cilities Wo will only have about. r.OC
feet of hose a broken down steamer and
a chemical engine." Mr. Oliver spoke
In his usual vigorous and terse man
ner and every one felt that his words
expressed the situation.
So fully were Mr. Oliver's views met,
that upon his motion a special commit
tee was appointed to look Into the af
fair and report at the next meeting.
That committee composes Joseph
Oliver. C. K. Daniels, J. T. Reese, Thos.
O'Hoyle and Simon Thomas. Messrs.
Oliver, O'Uoyle and Thomas are coun
rllmen, the latter being chairman of
the select council fire department com
mittee. Their road Is clear and wide.
Another hose wagon, five hundred feet
ot hose, a permanent man nnd another
horse are needed Immediately. The
Columbia quarters are especially con
structed for Just such an nrrnngement.
The feasibility of a fire limit in which
certain kinds of combustible structures
cannot be erected was considered.
Upon motion of C. K. Daniels the sec
retary was instructed to have the mat
ter placed before the council fire de
partment committees, with the request
that a fire limit he fixed by ordnance.
I'pon motion of J. T. Reese, the com
mittee on parks was directed to secure
options upon tho vacant property on
North Main avenue, between Wymbs'
court and Price street. This action has
a park site in view and the committee
were requested to have a report ready
by the next meeting.
In reference to the matter of restrain
ing the erection of buildings In Nealls
court by Ferdlnnndo Arlgoni, which
would block passage through that thor
oughfare, satisfactory progress was re
ported by the special committee of tho
board which has the matter In hand.

AIDED BY JIRS. PDTKHAM.
Mrs. W. E. Paxto, Youngtown,
North Dakota, writes about her strug
gle to regain health nf tor tho birth of
her little girl:
" Dkar Mns. Pinkitam: It is with
pleasure that I add my testimony to
your list, hoping that It may lnduco
others to avail themselves of your val
uable medicine.
"After tho birth of my little girl,
thrco years ago, my health was very
poor. I had leucorrlioea badly, and a
terrible bcnrlng-down pain which
gradually grew worse, until I could do
no work. Also had hcadacho nearly
all tho time, nnd dizzy feelings. Men
struations were very profuse, appear
ing ovcry two weeks.
" I took medlclno from a good doctor,
but It seemed to do no good. I was
becoming nlarmcd over my condition,
when I read your advertisement In a
paper. I sent nt onco for a bottle of
Lydia E. PlnUhara's Vegetable Com
pound, and after taking two-thirds of
the bottle I felt so much better that I
send for two more. After using thrco
bottles I felt as strong and well as any
one.
" I think It Is the best medlclno for
femalo weakness ever advertised, and
recommend it to every lady I meet suf
fering from this trouble."
Maternity is a wonderful experience
nnd many women approach it wholly
unprepared. Childbirth under right
conditions need not terrify women.
The ndvico of Mrs. I'inkham Is freely
offered to all expectant mothers, and
her advlco is beyond question the most
valuable to be obtained. If Mrs. Pax
ton had written to Mrs. Pinlcham be
fore confinement she would have been
saved much suffering. Mrs. Pinkham'a
address is Lynn, Mass.
