Councilman Stadler objected to the report, and may have something to ! may at the council meeting. regard- ing it. An adverse report was also re- ceived from the board of public works on a petition from Alderman William ;| J. McCabe for a catch basin at the | north end of High street.

ELLIOTT CONTINUES TO TAKE TWO-SPOTS Demiocratic Office Holder Re-appoint- ed by Mayor Quigley Who Re- peats Campaign Promise, Conjecture’ regarding the filling of the office of personal tax collector is put at an end by the announcement of Mayor George A. Quigley that he has re-appointed Charles J. Elliott. “You can say that T am simply car- ryving out what T said I would do when I was a candidate for mayor,” His Honor said in announcing the re- appointment, “I stated that no com- petent official need fear being ousted by me. Mr. Elliott has made an ex- cellént tax collector and deserves re- appointment on his record.” Very recently there has been con- siderable conjecture whether Mayor Quigley would re-appoint Mr. Elliott. An effort was made to persuade the mayor to appoint a republican but this fell through. B GET POWER. The Supply Comes From Food. Tf we get power from food, why not strive to gét all the power we can. That is only possible by select- ing foor that exactly fits the require- ments of the body. ‘“Not knowing how to select the right feod to fit my needs, T suffered grievously for a long time from stomach trouble, writes a lady from a little Western town. “It séemed as if 1 would never be able to find out the sort of food that was best for me. Hardly anything that T could eat would stay on ny stomach. - Every attempt gave me heart-burn and fiYled my stomach with gas. (¥ got thinner and thinner until I literally became a living skel- eton, and in time was compelled to keep to my bed. “A féew months ago I was persuad- ed to try Grape-Nuts food, and it had such good effect from thé very be- ginning that [ kept up its wuse. 1 was surprised at the ease with which I digested it . It proved to be just what I needed. “All my unpléasant symptoms, the heart-burn, the inflated feeling which gave me so much pain, disappearedl. My weight gradually increased from 98 to 116 Ibs., my figure rounded out, my strength came back, and 1T am now able to do my housework and enjoy it. Grape-Nuts did it.” A ten days trial will show anyone some facts about food.

He was arrested at 9:15 o'clock and ex- plained that when he changed his clothes he neglected to change his li- cense from one suit to the other. Re- | garding his lights, he thought one of his passengers might have played a trick on him. His presto-lites were burning when he left the carnival, but as he left the key on the gas tank he thinks that some occupant of the car turned the gas off as a practical Joke. Judge Meskill did not think that Kramer was entirely frank in| his explanation and imposed a fine of | $3 and costs on the first count and | $2 and costs on the second. Upon the payment of costs of the court Omar Contois, another jitney | driver arrested at 8:30 o’clock for not | having his lights lighted, was dis-| charged. Contois explained that he ! had all his lights burning, but onj| nearing the center he attempted to! shut off his glaring headlights and | turn on the more dim side lights. In &0 doing he pressed the wrong but- tons and all lights were éxtinguished. | Officer Grace took the third jijtney | { man, Max Honeyman, into custody for | not having a red light on the rear of his machine as ‘is specified by the | state law. Honeyvman had a com- mon barn lattern hung under his rear number plate. He said that on Tues- ! day night the officer at city hall in. formed him that his tail light was out so he purchased a lantern to use until such times as the regular lamp could be repaired. He did not+know {he was violating any law by not dis- playing a red light and promised to get one at once. Not believing that the accuséd had any intention of vio- lating the law Judge Meskill ordered | his discharge. Street Walker Arrested.

The accused asked that hec case be continued until tomorrow her husband can come to her rescuc. Ronds were fixed at $200, Wife Beater Jailed.
