in the appropriation be made.

men the other day, took occasion to add
a few don'ts to the customary advice. A
few samples follow:
Don't be a politician; be a policeman.
I want that drummed right Into you. A
a citizen, you can be a democrat or a
republican or a member of the Moon Own
ers league, or anything else you want, but
aa a policeman be a policeman.
Don't let anybody in New York or out
of it intervene for the shadow of an In
stant between you and what you know to
be your duty. Tho moment a man on the
police force becomes a politician Instead of
being a policeman, he Is worse than use
less. He Is working a pull on the commis
sioner. He won't stand out on his merits,
and he Is always looking to see how the
wind Is blowing; when will they get rid of
McAdoo? When he Is put up against a
public wrong, when be ought to act
promptly, his arm Is paralysed because
somebody will whisper to him that he will
get Into trouble if he Interferes with it.
Don't be dreaming about what will hap
pen tomorrow. You will all be dead to
morrow. You live today. I live this mo
ment that I am talking to you. I am not
going to stand hers and aay these things to
you thinking that somebody may be of
fended tomorrow, or pleased. I am telling
you the square truth, because I don't care
what is going to happen tomorrow. If I
can take a chance, you can.
Don't get too friendly with criminals;
don't get friendly with criminals at all,
except so far as It helps you as a police
man to get facts. You ought to know them,
know the criminal class well, but don't
get friendly with them.
Don't be too good a fellow. I have had
men In large batches of promotions I have
turned down one or two men. I was sorry
to do It. I am sorry now I had to do It. and
will tell you why I turned them down.
They were too good fellows. They had
never said "no" In thirty-five years of
police life. Any good friends could come
along and tell them what they wanted, and
they would get It. Be a good fellow of
course we are all good fellows but have a
"dead line" where you don't cross for any
good fellow.
Don't be too amiable. I have men come
before me for promotion and everybody
comes In and tells me what a fine man he
Is oh, a delightful man; never hit his
mother or kicked his children. That never
amounts to anything at all when I know he
Is a man of no possible character; he is a
man without conscience and he has no as-
sertlveness.
Don't be afraid of a little extra work and
don't kick. I have got a lot of men here on
the mall carts. No man In New York sym
pathises anjr more with them than I do; no
man would take them off more quickly than
I would If I could. They are away from
their families and It Is hard, very hard. It
is extra work, but don't kick about extra
work.
Don't get to be too fine a specialist. Sup-
pose you are put en traffic duty. There Is a
man over there being assaulted, a woman
being Insulted, a cry of "Stop thief!" down
the street; 'don't let me find you saying.
"Oh, that Is none of my business; I am on
the crossing here; that Is the business of
the man on post." Don't have that disposi
tion to shirk a little extra duty. Be a
policeman all the time.
Don t say, because you are on a post
where there are burglaries, "Well, that is
for the detectives; the detective bureau
has got to do that; that Is none of my
business; I will do the best I ran trying my
doors, and I am not going to play detec
tive." You will never make any progress
on the police that wsy.
Don't lose enthusiasm. When a police
man gets stale, and no longer takes Inter
est In the position, and Is no longer proud
of It, he becomes indifferent and laiy. All
he does is simply keep within the "dead
Una" of the rules, so as not to be brought
here for trial.
Don't get dlscoursged by the old fellows
telling you It is a dog s life. They will tell
you a man has no rights In this Job, and he
Is bossed by commissioners and all sorts of
people; and they will tell you another thing,
and you mustn't believe It. They will tell
you the public doesn't appreciate good
work. I have been a public servant since I
was 31 years of age, more or less mostly
more and I have associated with ail sorts
of men In public life, and I have heard that
over and over again, that the people don't
care whether you are bad or good; look out
for yourself. Thy will tell you that the
public Is very unjust and asks things that
cannot be done, because they don't give you
the material to do them with. No man
knows that better than I do.
Don't be a crook. If you have got any
conscience you won't be a crook. There
Isn't a happy crook today in New York,
whether his station Is high in life or
whether be Is a poor man that wa are chas
ing In the streeta There are no happy
croka. Be decent in your morality. It

root, the concentrated glyceric extract
of which mske tip Ir. Tierce's tioldt-n
Medical Discovery, have the strongest
kind of endorsement by scores of lead
ing medical writers of all the several
schools of practice, a brief glanre at
the standard works on Materia Mtdirn
will show. Of Golden Seal root, which
is one of the prominent ingredients of
"Golden Medical Discovery," Or. Roberts
Rartholow, of Jefferson "Medical Col
lege, says: "Very useful as a stom
achic (stomach) tonic and in atonio
dyspepsia. Cures gastric (stotnnch)
catarrh and headache accompanying
same." He alto mentions catarrh of
the gall duct, jaundice and constipa
tion as diseases which the use of
Golden Heal root overcomes ; also
catarrh of the intestines, even when
it has proceeded to nlceration, is
remsrkablv benefited by Hydrastis
(Golden Seal root).
Dr. Grower Coe. of New York, says:
"Hydrastis (Golden Seal root) exer
cises an P'perml influence over mu
cous surfaces. Upon the liver it
acts with equal certainty and ef
ficacy. As a cholagigne (liver invig
orator) it has few eqtials." Dr. Coe
also advises it for affections of tha
spleen and other abdominal viscera
generally, and for scrofulous and gland
ular diseases, outaneous eruptions, in
digestion, debility, chronic diarrhcea,
constipation, alo in several affections
peculiar to women, and in all chronic
derangements of the liver; also for
chronic inflammation of bladder, for
which Dr. Coe says "it is one of the
most reliable agents of cure."
Prof. Hobart A. Hare, M. D., of the
University of Fa., says of Golden Seal
root that it is "of service in chronic
catarrh of the stomach and bowels,
following abuse of alcohol, and as a
tonic after malarial fever." He further
says, it "has a distinct anti-malarial
influence.'' Also " i;ood in all catarrhal
conditions, ss uterine catarrh, leucor
rhrea, etc., and as "a curative agent in
chronic dyspepsia."
Prof. Laurence Johnson, M. D., of
the Medical Department, University
City of N. Y., is equally loud in his
praise of Golden Seal root, especially
for its tonio effects in convalescence
from acute diseases and its special
tonio influence upon mucous surfaces
and upon the gall bladder.
Doctors Barton and Tully recom
mended Golden Seal root as a pure
tonio and as an alterative in dis
eased conditions of the mucous mem
branes.
Prof. John King, M. D., late of Cin
cinnati, author of the American Dis
pensatory, gives it a prominent place
among medicinal agents, reiterates all
the foregoing writers have said about
it, as does also Prof. John M. Scudder,
M. D., late of Cincinnati. Dr. Scud
der says: "It stimulates the digestive
processes and increases the assimilation
of food. By these means the blood is
enriched, the consequent
improvement on the glandular and
nervous systems are natural results."
Dr. Scudder further says, "in relation
to its geheral effect upon the system,
there is no medicine in use about which
there ie tuch general unanimity of
ovinion. It is universally regarded as
the tonic, useful in all debilitated

RECORD OF A CONTRACT
Camera Vaed by City of Pittsburg; to
Show Progress of m Public
Job.
Pictorial duta are being secured on the
filtration contract at Pittsburg. When the
big 15,600,000 Job is completed the city will
depend about as much on pictures as on
figures In getting a focus on where it is at.
About 300 pictures . have been taken thus
far, and by the time, the work is ended it
is believed the collection will have been
increased to 500.
The photographs will be filed away,
maybe In book form, and if any dispute
ever arises as to how curtain work was
performed the city will be uble to spring
a photograph of tho particular feature
under discussion. Just in the same measure
that "figures will not, lie" it is argued that
photographs will maintain the same degree
of veracity.
Then there Is another side to the propo
sition. If the city is ever called upon to
build a filtration plant Itself it will have

R. C Peter Co., lteutal Agent
Prof. Finlev F.llingwotod, M. P., ot
Bennett Medical College, Chicag, says
of Golden Seal root: "It is a most
superior remedy in catarrhal gsstntis
(inflammation of the stomach), chionio
constipation, general debility, in con
valescence from protracted fevers, in
prostrating night-sweats. It it an im
portant remedy t disorders of t
nonib." (This agent, Golden Seal root,
is an important ingredient of Doctor
Pierce's ravorit Prescription for wom
an's weaknesses, ss well as of the
"Golden Medical Discovery.") Dr. KI
lingwood continues, "in all catarrhal
conditions it is useful."
Much more, did epsce permit, conld
be quoted from prominent authorities
as to the wonderful curative properties
possessed by Golden Seal root.
We want to assure the reader that
"Golden Medical Discovery" can be
relied upon to do all that is claimed for
Golden Seal root In the cure of all the
various diseases as set forth in the
shove brief extracts, for its most
prominent and important ingredient is,
Golden Seal root. This agent is, how-j
ever, strongly reiniorced, and it cura
tive action greatly enhancea Dy tne
addition, in just the right proportion
of Queen's root, Stone root, Black
Cherrvbark, Bloodroot, Mandrake rool
and chemically pure glycerine. All ol
these are happily and harmoniously
blended into a most perfect phar
maceutical compound, now favorably
known throughout most of the civilixeo
countries of the world. Bear In mind
that each and every Ingredient entering
in the "Discovery" has received the
endorsement of the leading medical
men of our land, who extol each article
tinmed above in the Jiighef terms.
What other medicine put up' for sale
through druggists can show any such
professional endorsement? For dys
pepsia, liver troubles, all chronic catar
rhal affections of whatever name or
nature, lingering coughs, bronchial,
throat and lung affections, the "Dis
covery " can be relied upon aa a sover
eien remedy.
By reading the little book noted',
below any one will readily see the!
applicability of the "Golden Medicall
Discovery" to the cure of all the fore-
going list of diseases aa well as manyl
other chronic affections,' especially
those of the heart, kidneys, bladder,
skin and blood.
