Saturday, January 17, 1914 THE ASHEVII TE GAZETTE - NEWS. PAGE THREE FIREMEN WILL BE 1SH0 BY CITY The Laddies Also Receive Sal ary Increase Health Board Matters. ' There was a meeting of the city board of health last .night,' when the matter of taking care of dipththerla cultures for the town 'of Saluda was considered. A letter from the health Officer there was read. In which It was stated that there is a great deal rf delay experienced when these cul tures have to be sent to Raleigh, and an enormous expense would be en tailed to have the work done In a private sanitarium. After considerable discussion. It was decided to leave the matter to Mayor 'Rankin and the health officer. : . ( Immediately following this meeting there was a meeting of the Joint board of healUi. The only matter of Importance befor.e the Joint board was Tired lood Thnt which Is lacking in vitality, debilitated, weak and thin, can not possibly give proper nourish ment and strength it must be purified, built up and vitalized by . HOOD'S CftR?ArArvt V ,V the consideration of the tax levied on dairy cattle. Curtis Bynum appeared before the board on behalf of the dairymen and asked that the tax be further reduced or entirely abolished, expressing! the belief that the city could make no mistake in taking such a course, since to encourage the dairy business in the county ' and vicinity will eventually prove of greater bene fit to Asheville than the tax can pos sibly be. No action In the matter was taken, however, except to allow the dairymen until February 1 to pay the 1913 tax, and until June 1 to pay the 1914 tax. '." Consideration of matters pertain ing to the fire department took up the greater part of the time of the board of aldermen, which met after the Joint board adjourned. The fire committee. In its report of the de partment, recommended that the sal aries -of the firemen be Increased and that ach of the thirty-seven men be insured against accidental Injury or death. Following this report, the board voted to Increase the salaries as follows: Regular flremenr from J 16 to SIS per month: assistant chief, from 1 10 to $16 per month; and (he volunteer firemen, from $8 to $10 per month. It was also voted to carry a blanket Insurance' for all of the men in the sum of $2,000 each. This In surance will cost the city S10 a year, for each of the men, and In case of Injury, the men will receive 'flO week until they have fully recovered The report submitted showing the comparative cost of operating the motor fire trucks, against that of the horse-drawn trucks, was most Inter esting. : xn.e cost per mue or tne mo tors was shown to be 11 cents, while the horse-drawn trucks, while used uy tne city, cost 12.93 per mile, a saving for the past twelve months of $957.63. . . ..

Additional wireless accounts of the rescue 200 miles east of Cape Race early yester day of Captain Halfyard and seven men of the New Foundland brigantlne Mayflower were received here today. The. rescue was effected by the Cun arder Lusitania, according to the mes sages, after a three-hour-fight by a lifeboat's crew. Captain Dow of the Lusitania, saw the schooner's danger signal a dar ing torch and the sudden stopping of the engines which changed the ship's course brought almost every passenger on deck. Every able seaman and many stew ards and tiromen oft watch wanted to man the lifeboats. It finally got off with First Officer Alexander at the tiller. . For more than two hours the boat's crew struggled to reach the sehooner. , ... , . The men who had been clinging to the Mayflower's rigging Jumped over board one by' one. They were hauled Into the boat Captain Halfyard was the last to quit his vessel.' He said he had sailed on the May flower from St. Johns on September 1? for Bahia, Brazil, and arrived Novem ber 15. The trip back had been one long struggle with gales and head seas. Three days before the rescue he had lost his rudder, his sails had been carried away and the Mayflower sprang a leak.

COBB SLIENT ABOUT FEDERALS BIG OFFER V K FOR THE GRIP Peruna la Sometimes Used With Good Results A great many people use Peru na for the grip. Some use it as soon as the grip begins, taking it during the acute stage of the dls ease, claiming for it great effi cacy in shorten- the disease, d especially In lhfirtn1n(r Mrs. Jane Gift tne after stages. Many people take it after they have had the grip. Their convalescence is slow.' They have suffered along for a month or two, without any signs of complete recovery. Then they resort to Peruna as a tonic, with splendid results. Mrs. Jane Gift, R. F. D. J, Athens, Ohio, whose portrait appears above, writes: "I think I would have been dead long ago If it had not been for Peruna. Six years ago I had la grippe very bad. The doctor came to see me every day, but I gradually grew worse. I told my ljusband I thought I would surely die if I ' did not get relief soon. "One day I picked up the news paper and accidentally found a testi monial of a woman who had been cured of grip by Peruna. I told my husband I wanted to try it He went directly to. the drug store and got a bottle of Peruna. I could see the im provement in a very short time ana was soon able to do my work. I con tinued using it until I was entirely cured." .. Mr. Victor Patneaude, 328 MadlBon St, Topeka, Kas., writes: . "Twelve years ago I had a severe attack of la grippe and I never really recovered my health and strength, but grew weaker every year, until I was unable to work. "Two years ago'X began using Pe runa and it built up my strength so that in a cpuple of months I was able to go to work again. This winter I had another attack of la grippe, but Peruna soon drove it out of my sys tem. My wife and I consider it a household remedy." , Those who object to liquid medi cines can now obtain Peruna Tablets. ASK YOUR DRUGGIST FOR FREE PERUNA DAY ALMANAC FOR 1914. Augusta, Ga., Jan. 17.

Admiral Peary doubts' the advant age of machinery, and pins his faith to dogs. Mr. Bernacchl, who is a polar traveler of great authority, for he has served with two antarctic ex peditions, holds a similar view. But, as Sir Ernest Shackelton has already pointed out, In the last three years the aeroplane engine has reach ed what we may call absolute effici ency, and It is an aeroplane engine, mounted on a 'sledge, with a 'aero plane propeller attached to It, that he proposes to employ for traction. Two of these sledges will be built and thoroughly tested during the win ter out In Siberia, or the north of Canada under similar conditions to antarctic and only If these tests are convincing will the sledge be em ployed on the , Journey.
