Ways and Means Committee of Council Passes Up Ordinance to Abolish Assistant Police Chief. A suggestion that a mutual benefit association be formed among the em ployes of the Engineering Department was made by Councilman Maguire at a meeting of the ways and means com mittee of the Council yesterday. Such associations already exist in some of the other departments. The sugges tion was made during a discussim of the request of Andrew Delln, a vet eran employe of the Engineering De partment, that he be paid two months salary, amounting to $153, for time spent in a hospital as a result of an Injury received in the service of the city. It was recommended that the claim be allowed. The- claim of Elizabeth P.

TABLES TURNED ON LONG Heartless Abuse of Mother's Sym pathy EeTealed by Engineer. Walking Into the detective depart mem yesterday to secure Its aid in locating a lost or stolen diamond ring, Edward J. Long found himself de tained on a charge of obtaining money unoer raise pretenses from his mother In New York In a particularly heart- jess manner. Long Is a young engineer by trade, but admitted that he had done no work on the railroad for the past year. A short time ago, being in need of funds, and having dissipated most of his money, he telegraphed to his mother telling her that he had had his left leg cut off In a railway accident. Thereupon she sent him $200. When this - sum was spent, he telegraphed again, and she sent him an additional $50 for hospital expenses. This much he admitted to Detectives Maloney and Swennes yesterday, but hla story was so mixed In other de tails that they were a long time in getting the truth out of him, with respect to his wife. At first he strenuously denied that he was mar ried, and then finally admitted he mar rled a San Francisco girl eight months ago, but had deserted her. He Is being held for further In vestlgation and until his parents have been heard from, and if possible hi wife located. He has been living at the wood Hotel. 8214 Sixth street. :I ' A. 1 "Mothers' Week" Sale Infants' and Children's Wearables 2d Floor American Flag Booth on the Main Floor in Charge of "Congress of Mothers" Read the "ProdigalJudge," by Vaughn Hester, 50c Other New Books in Book Dept.

"I was In a terrible state before I took Lydia E. Pinkh&m's Vegetable Com pound. My back ached until I thought it would break, I had pains all over me, nervous feelings and. periodic troubles. I was very weak and run down and was losing hope of ever being well and. strong. After tak ing Lydia E. Pink- lam's Vegetable Compound I improved rapidly and today am a well woman. I cannot tell you how happy I feel and cannot say too much for your Compound. Would not be without it in the house if it cost three times the amount." Mrs. Chas. Chapman, R. F. D. No. 7, Belle vue, Ohio. Because your case is a difficult one, doctors having done you no good, do not continue to suffer without giving Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial. It surely has remedied many cases of female ills, such as inflamma tion, ulceration, displacements, tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, and it may be exactly what you need. The Pinkham record is a proud and peerless one. It is a record of constant victory over the obstinate ills of woman ills that deal out despair. It is an es tablished fact that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has restored health to thousands of such suffering women. Why don't you try it if you need such a medicine T i
