Interesting Debate Cut Off by Extinguishing the Elec tric Lights—No Decided Action on Light. Tho regular session of the borough council was held Monday evening with all members present except Mr. Ilincer. In the ahsonce of Secretary Sweenoy, Mr. McLaughlin was chosen pro tetn.

Figures from thirteen towns showed that they paid from 850 to $82.50 per light per year, with contracts varying in length from one to ten years. Messrs. McLaughlin and P. G. Gal laghor criticized tho report, contending that tho committee failed to make rec ommendations to council, as instructed. J. J. McMenamin, on behalf of tho citizens' meeting committee, explained fully tho motives of the committee. His remarks were followed by the reading of tho citizens' petition, which came to council in practically the same form as published in Friday's Tribune A motion by Mr. McNeils that the recommendations contained in tho peti tion bo enacted into ordinances received the votes of Win. Gallagher and Mc- Neils, tho remaining eight voting no. A motion by P. G. Gallagher to refer tho recommendations to the ordinance committee was carried by a vote of 8 to 2, Messrs. McLaughlin and McNeils opposing it. However, beforo this vote was takon tho discussion on the motion was exceed ingly bitter, and In addition to mombors of council several spectators, after re ceiving the privleges of tho lloor, spoke freely on tho recommendations in general. Among those who took an active part in the debate were Council men McLaughlin, McNeils, Gallagher and Crawford and Tax Collector Malloy, ex-Burgess J. M. Gallagher and Attorney Brown. Personalities wore indulged In by Messrs. Crawford and McNeils, brought on by revolations of the methods alleged to bo used by agents of tho Electric Light Company in procuring votos for the propositions made to council. Sweep ing charges of indirect bribery wore make by Mr. McNeils in reply to in sinuations of Mr. Crawford that the op position to the light contract was not sincere. Just as tho debate had reached a point where the hundreds of spectators looked for a confirmation or denial of tho rumors of wholesale bribery of councll mon by agents of tho Electric Light Company, theelectriclights In tho build- MISCELLANEOUS ADVERTISEMENTS. nISSOLUTION OF PAKTNEKBHIP.—No tice is hereby ad von that the partnership heretofore subsisting between James B.

Scientific Diet for Nervous People. Schulc, writing on mental diseases, asks, "Ih our civilization to blame for this neurotic condition?" and the an swer is In the affirmative. llow can nutrition prosper in the body where malnutrition holds full sway? And how can people be happy and healthy when worry dominates their lives? For In this human being the lower offi cers of the nervous hierarchy draw their very breath at the bidding of the higher powers, and the relation Is ver ily reciprocal, for to keep the brain healthy the unconscious nervous func tions must be kept in good shape, prop er activities alternating with wisely arranged periods of repose. Just as soon as one notices the ap proach of nervous Irritability systemat ic nerve rest will shorten an attack, and by rest I mean to have the patient go to bed and have massage. The amount of exercise undergone In a good scientific massage is equal to a walk of two or three miles a day, and It goes without saying that such pas sive exercise should increase the appe tite, and the food Ingested and enjoyed will be digested and assimilated. I use tho word "enjoy" deliberately, because there are some nervous Invalids who cannot .enjoy their food unless in soli tude. In addition to the massage I would recommend salt rubs, which are very easy to give. Have a saturated solution of cominon'tnble Salt. Rub the body briskly, especially from the spine outward toward the sides of the body and as soon as the skin Is well reddened wash off! with moderately cool water, and the chances are nil In favor of restful condition. In case per sons suffer from cold feet at night I would advise tlie bathing of the feet In cold water before going to bed and having a hot water bag always ut hand. Lettuce, celery, splnnch, onions, are nil vegetables especially valuable to a person of nervous temperament, and milk hot or cold Is Invaluable.—Pil grim. ROUND THE REGION.
