graces of mind and person, who is
capable of filling the home she will

its regular monthly meeting Mon
day night and passed upon sever
al matters of importance.
An animated discussion was
brought about by the introduction

A number of citizens were present
and expressed their sentiments pro

em voted aye, and the ordinance
was read the second time and plac
ed on the calendar for final disposi
tion at the next recmlar meetinrr
of the council.

that quite a lot of good work is
being done on the streets and he
was freely complimented by mem
bers of the council.
The marshal’s report showed a
total of $00 in fines collected dur
ing the month and $22.50 in show
license.
Alderman Magness offered a
resolution reducing the marshal’s
salary to $25 a month, which was
adopted.
Alderman Fields offered a reso
lution increasing the license on
pool rooms to $50 a month and the
resolution was adopted by a
unanimous vote.
A five mill corporation tax was
levied for the ensuing year.
A resolution was adopted
authorizing the construction of a
concrete abuttment at E.E Allen’s
corner on Main and Front streets,
so as to permit the construction of
a sidewalk along the west side of
Mr. Allen’s building, and also

SUMMARY OF TARIFF
BILL IN THIS ISSUE
Read This Article Which Will Tell
You Just What Effect the New
Law Will Have
The new Underwood-Simmons
tariff bill, upon which Congress
has been working for the past 9
months, is now a law and its pro
visions have already been put in
to operation.
How many people know what
the provisions of this measure are
and what effect they will have
upon the various commodities
that they buy? Probably not one
in a thousand and the proportion
may be less.
For the benefit of our readers
we publish in this issue a complete
summary of the new law, with an
analysis of its provisions. This is
the first summary of this nature
that has been published.
Read this artile on the new law,
which appears on another page of
this issue. We think you will
find it very interesting reading.
PELLAGRA
Until a few years ago pellagra
was unknown in America. The
disease wras common incertainparts
of Italy, but it was not widely
studied by the medical profession
even in the country where it pre
vailed.
A few years ago a peculiar
disease appeared among the in
sane in certain public institutions
in the South; the simptons were
those of the Italian pellagra. Since
then the diseaae has been found
in many other parts of the coun
try.
Pellagra begins as an annoying
skin eruption that appears in the
sprintr, and subsides *at the ap
proach of cold weather, but it re
curs again the next year. Later,
there is evidence that the nervous
system is affected, and in many
cases insanity follows.
