THE QUICKEST WAY
TO END CATARRH
•In*/ One Sure YVHJT TO He
HUI of Thin Ailment.
Catarrh is a germ disease. To stop
it for good vou must get down to its
real cause. The air is full of catarrhal
germs coughed and sneezed out by one
person aiul breathed in by another and
when the system fails to throw off these
germs thev find permanent lodgement
in the mucous membranes of your
your nose, throat and head and breed
bv millions.
' The germs of catarrh can be destroy
ed and the inflamed tisues permanently
healed by Inhaling the air of the pure
medicated oil of Ilyomei (pronounced
Hlgh-o-me). You breathe its air into
votir nose, throat and lungs by means
of a small, hard rubber inhaler that H.
C Kennedv and other reliable drug
gists here in this vicinity furnish with
each large, complete treatment. This
medicated, ahtiseptlc air is certain
death to the germs of catarrh and
drives them entirely out of your system
and when the germs are destroved tlie
catarrh with its obnoxious symptoms
will stop. Just two or three minutes'
use will give you blessed relief while
its use two or three times a day for a
few weeks will drive catarrh and every
symptom of catarrh completely and en
tirely from your system. No catarrh
sufferer can afford to go another day
without trying this wonderful treat
ment. as reliable druggists everywhere
sell it on a positive guarantee of entire
satisfaction or money cheerfully re

UliU M. SHUL FOR
IIICE-PRIM?
Sister, Not Nephew, of Director,
Most Likely Candidate For
Assistant at Central
If the school board decides to ap
point an assistant or vice principal for
Central high school, the choice, it is
understood, will be Miss Anna M. Saul
and not Bertram W. Saul, as has been
rumored.
President H. A. Boyer. secretary D.
D. Hammelhaugh and City Superinten
dent F. K. Downes are all In the east
ern section of the State looking: up
possible candidates for the principal
ship to succeed W. S. Steele and the
only director of the board who would
| talk on the question today was Millard
F. Saul, a brother of Miss Saul and
I uncle of Bertram. Director Saul de
nied any effort on his part to have his
nephew appointed.
"Why 1 know nothing: officially
about any plan to provide a vice prin
cipal," vigorously declared the direc
tor, "but I'll say this: if there Is such
an appointment to be made, I most
certainly will not be for Bertram. If
anybody should have that position it
is my sister and I certainly will be for
her."
Saul, the nephew, who has been in
structor at the school for a year or
so, will not have much chance, it is
said even though, he is a brother-in
law of ex-Councilman A. Coleman
Sheets. Ills aunt. Miss Anna Saul has
practically served as vice principal,
except in name, for some years. and
during the long illness and since the
death of Prof. Steele, has acted as
principal of the high school.
The board may act on the principal
ship question Friday night, although
it is quite probable that little else than
the committee's report will be con
sidered. The supply committee will
meet at 4.30 o'clock Friday.

The bill introduced by Senator Cat

Lynch to Submit Scheme For Clos
ing Market Street Gap to Public
Works Board Tonight
Approval of the plan to close the
unsightly gap in the river front wall
at Market street by continuing the
construction of the line of steps across
the opening will be asked of the Hoard
of Public Works this evening by City
Commissioner William 11. Lynch, su
perintendent of streets and public im
provements.
In connection with the announce
ment of the meeting of the board to
night on the wall gap problem it is
understood that the river Interceptor
board of arbitration will be ready to
report on its findings relative to Con
tractor W. H. Opperman's charges for
extras by the latter part of this week.
The result of the interceptor settle
ment will help to determine the ques
tion of whether or not the continuance
of the line of steps at Market street
can be proceeded with without asking
for additional money. The balance
that is now being held back by the
board, it is said, is to provide for pos
sible settlements should the city lose
out in its contention with Opperman.
Should it win, there will be sufficient
money to proceed with the closing of
the gap without asking Council for
the additional funds.
That the money will be asked for
If necessary under any circumstances
was stated by Commissioner Lynch
yesterday after Council meeting. No
authority to follow his scheme for
continuing the steps will be necessary
except should money be needed.
Commissioners M. Harvey Taylor
and Harry F. Bowman, it is under
stood. are in harmony with Mr.
Lynch's plan to build steps at Market
street instead of a straight wall across
the opening.
Firemen Say They Need
Larger Appropriation
At a meeting of the Firemen's Union
in the Mount Vernon truckhouse last
evening, it was the unanimous senti

is needed for the support of the fire
department of this city, each com
pany receiving annually about SI,OOO
less than is appropriated to fire com
panies ih other cities of tills Common
wealth, known as third class cities.
Frequently the firemen themselves
have to "chip in" to make up deticits
on horse feed, harness supplies, horse
shoeing and other items. Thev are
preparing for a carnival May 17 to
raise money to help meet these and
other necessary expenses.
The firemen ask for six smoke-pro
tecting helmets, two tt> be placed on
each hook and ladder truck.
They also ask for a revised map.
one for each company, showing the
•location of all the tire plugs in the
city. A. L. Patton, of the Reily hose,
was elected delegate to the next State
Firemen's Convention.
Comments were made upon the un
usual number of fires in the city since
January 1, and the small comparative
loss, on account of prompt service.
There were no complaints of police
interference since the March meeting,
and all seems to be harmony again.
It was decided that hereafter, when
are delivered by chaplains
to the respective companies, all the
other fire companies be invited to the
services. Messrs. Ayars, of the Wash
ington, Wert of the Citizen, Ralim of
the Friendship, Tawney of the Royal,

Paterson. N. J.. April 14. —George
Arnold, retired millionaire silk manu
facturer, who was chiefly instrumen
tal in bringing "Billy" Sunday to this
industrially restless city, has been
threatened by 1. W. W. agitators. He
said so last night, just before he left
the tabernacle, and with "Billy," "Ma,"
"Husky Jack" Cardiff and equally
husky detectives, passed through a
line of eight policemen to his automo
bile.
"I don't care to say just at this
time what the threats amount to." said
Mr. Arnold. "I don't care a snap of
my fingers for those who have made
them; oh, it's the 1. W. W. all right. I
don't intend to take extra precautions
either for my person or my home.
It's a pretty pass, isn't it, when the
man who has brought such a great
force for good to this city as Mr. Sun
day should be threatened because he's
done it."

WHAT SCIATICA IS
There is something terrifying about
the word sciatica. Yet sciatica is
nothing hut neuralgia of the sciatic
nerve and neuralgia is an inflamma
tion caused by lack of nourishment.
Application of dry heat as hot sand
bags or flannel to the course of the In
flamed nerve often quiets the pain but
it does not feed the nerve. It is tem
porary relief, a good thing to know
about, but not a remedy.
What causes the nerve starvation
that results in neuralgia and sciatica
and how may it be corrected?
The most common cause is a run
down physical system and a frequent
exciting cause is exposure to cold.
Thin blood is often at fault. It !s
| through the biood that the nerves get
their nourishment. Mortal man knows!
of no other way of getting nourish-!
ment to a nerve. Therefore when the
[blood gets thin and fails to feed the |
nerves they show their resentment by
becoming inflamed. Try Dr. Williams'
Pink Fills at this stage and see how
the inflammation subsides as the en
riched blood carries to the starved !
nerves the elements they need.
