The conference was mainly directed to the consideration of requests from heads of departments for increased clerical ser- Yice and consequent larger appropria- tions. The Board of Health's request for $50,- 000 for the six months ending June 30, have to get along the best way it can with $35,00. The expenses of the City Receiving Hospital and the insane de. tention ward are not included in this amount, as they are speclally provided for. The appropriation for salaries of the Health Department, which is now 38125 per month, will be reduced to $5925, thus effecting a saving of $2200.

Cures. How to Find Out if You Need Swamp-Root. Regarding Wonderful It used to be considered that only uri nary and bladder troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all diseas have their beginning in the disorder of these most important organs. The kidneys filter and purify the blood —that is their work. 7. So when your kidneys are weak or out of order, you can understand how quickly your entire body is affected, and how every organ seems to fail to do its duty. If you are sick or “feel badly,” begin taking the famous new discovery, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, because as soon as your kidneys are well they will help all the other organs to health Disordered kidneys are responsible for more sickness and suffering than any other disease. Kidney trouble irritates the nerves, makes you dizzy, restle: sleepless and irritable. Makes you pass water often during the day and obliges you to get up many times during the night. Causes rheumatism and neural- gia, pain or dull ache in the back, joints and muscles, makes your head ache and back ache, causes indigestion, stomach and liver trouble; you get a sallow, yel- low comple makes feel as though you had heart trouble; you have but no strength, get weak and waste away. The cure for these troubles is Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the world-fa- mous k remedy. In taking Swamp-Root you afford na- tural help to nature, for Swamp-Root is the most perfect healer and gentle aid to the kidneys that is known to medi science. If there is any doubt in your mind as to your condition, take from your urines on rising about four ounces, place it in a glass or bottle, and let it stand twen- Ii, on examination, it is milky or cloudy, if there is a bricle-dust settling, or if small particles float about in it, your kidneys are in need of imme- diate attention. Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is used in the leading hospitals, reco mended by skilliul physicians in their private practice, and is taken by dc tors themselves who have kidney ail ments, because they recognize in it t ion you a0 To prove its wonderful efficacy, send your name and address to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N.

FISHERMEN BATTLE WITH A SEA LION Barely Escape From Overturned Boat. Epecia] Dispatch to The Call SAN RAFAEL, Feb. 10.—John Bartini and Joe Lafranchi, two Italian fisher- men, had a narrow escape from drowning off Point San Pedro early this morning. The two men were hauling in their flounder nets when the accident occurred which almost cost them their lives. The men had hauled nearly forty fathoms of net into the boat when the Increased weight apprised them of some unusually larg‘e (‘atgg. Upon raising the remainder of the net into the craft a large male sea- lion made its appearance entangled in the meshes. Although hampered by the net the beast was yet able to make his presence interesting, and made for his captors. A blow with an oar falled to knock the fur-bearer out, and only served to render him doubly furious. Open-mouthed he made a sort of clumsy leap at the men. In the melee which followed the skiff in some way capsized and the Italians found themselves struggling in the water. After some difficulty Lafranchi who can swim, managed to haul Bar- tini on the keel of the capsized craft. ‘After about three hours of drifting the ‘men managed to signal the schooner Warren T. The crew of the schooner lowered a boat and came to the rescue, and Lafranchi and Bartini were brought into safety none the worse for their ex- perience. One of the crew of the schooner shot the seal, which proved to be a very fine specimen, welghing fully ds. 1 PO posed that the animal was fol- a school of flounders, and in ‘t‘l’::h;‘xc‘i!tpemenn of the chase blundered into the net, to the subsequent discom- fiture of Lafranchi and Bartini. ——— Saloon Robbed.
