Members Acted on Recommendation, of Trades and Labor Council, and Will Ask for the Appointment of Insppector. ' B. Blackhall has been honored with .a 'sefond term as chairman of the Board of Health. His re-elec- tion took place on Friday afterncon at the inaugurdl meeting of the board. - Those present af the meet- ling were the chairman, Dr. William- son, medical health officer; Dr. Crowley, E. Cain, the newly-elected member; Sanitary Inspectors W. S. Gordon and Nicholas Timmerman. On motion of Dr. Williamson and Dr. Crowley, Mr. Blackhall was elect- ed chairman. - The board will again ask the City Council to appoint a plumbing in spector. E. Cain, the new member of the board, moved that a compet- ent plumbing inspector be appointed. His motion was seconded by Dr. Williamson, and was carried by a unanimous vote. The board made a similar recommendation to the coun- cil some yéars ago, but no action was taken. . : ; A communication was received from the Trades and Labor Counéil asking for the appointment of a plumbing inspector, the council hold- ing that such an appointment was of great Importance in the interests of public health. s Mr. Cain inffoduced a deputation composed of Messrs. William Guild and W. H. Lane, who appeared as representatives of e plumbers' union in support of the appointment. Mr. Guild addressed the board at some length, pointing out the need of an inspector. He said that the Board of Health was held responsible for the health of the city, and that, in the interests of the health of the citizens an inspéctor should be ap- pointed to see that the plumbing was carried out in accordance with the by-laws. At the present time the city engineer held the position of plumbing inspector, and the work was done by the engineer and his staff, but this department was too busy to give the matter. the atten: tion it should receive. The work of the inspector called for a practical plumber. = By-laws regarding the class of work to be don€ were violat- ed. Competition in the plumbing trade was keen, and this was the cause of work being done improper- ly. There should be an inspector, who colild inspect a job, from time to time, as the work was being carried on, to see that the work was proper- ly done. Without an inspector there was every chance of "fake" jobs be- ing done, - The speaker explained many cases in which improper work could be' carried on. Mr. Guild was thanked by the chairman for his explanation of mat- ers, and asked him to present his case before the members of the Board of Works at their next meet- ing, which he promised to do. Mr. Cain said he knew of nothing that was needed so badly in the inter- ests of public health than that of a plumbing inspector. i HOW TO CURE scr om ---- Learn. | ry The Common Cause is Lack of Blood-- | aves' 205% Therefore You Must Build Up the Blood. There is the most intimate relation between the condition of the blood and the activity of the stomach. The blood depends upon the stomach for a large part of its nourishment; while every act of digestion, Trom the time the food enters the stomach and is assimilated by the blood needs plenty of pure, 'well-ozidized blood. The muscles, glands and nerves of the stomach work only according to the quality of the blood The most common cause of indi- gesticn is lack of rich, red blood. Not only does impure blood weaken the muscles of the stomach, but it les- sens the product of the glands ¢f the intestines and stomach, which fur- nish the digestive fluids. - Nothing will more promptly cure indigestion than pienty of pure blood. Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills are the safest and most certain blood-huflder. A thor- ough trial of these pills gives a hearty appetite, perfect digestion, strength and health. - Here is proof of the value of these pills in cases of indigestion. Mr. Dan'el Dexter, Liverpool, N.S. says:--"For several years I was a great sufferer from in- digestion. 1 was greatly troubled with gas onthe stomach Which caus- ed disagreeable sensations. I was al- so frequently troubled with nausea and vomiting, which were very dis- tressing. As a result of my frouble my appetite almost completely failed and what I did eat caused me con- stant pain. I was continually doctor- ing but did not get any benefit, and had about made up my mind that I would suffer for life. One day a friend asked me why I did not try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and while I had not much hope of a cure I decid- ed to do so. I had only taken a few boxes, however, when I found they were helping me. Very glady then 1 continued the use of the pills, and in less than three months I was as well as ever 1 had been, able to eat'a hearty meal, and to feel that life was again worth living. 1» had also been troubled from time to time with at- ticks of rheamatism; and the use of the pills cured this as well as the in- digestion. It Is now over a year since [I took the pills, and in that time I have had no return of the trouble." Dr, Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all dealers in medicine or may be had by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Wil- llams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. | : Coming to Griffin's, America's sweetheart, Mary Pick- ford, in "Less Than the Dust," Thurs- day, Friday and Saturday, Feb. 1st, 2nd and 3rd.
