James Robinson. the athletic trainer at Prince

" / have found it imperative to have sure and
simple remedies on hand In case of cuts, bruises

The improvement of High street, which
connects this city with the country, has oc-
casioned considerable discussion. Some of
the prODerty-owners desire it improved from
Washington street to the tidal canal, while
Others stIenuously object, and give as their
reason that in year or two the tidal canal
excavation will reach High street, and 1T
will then be closed for many years. The
Cohen estate is especially DESTROYS of having
the matchmaking stop at the water works
property, and, if the other side gives in, Will
open Santa Clara avenue TO High street.
This latter improvement is very desirable,
and such a compromise may be effected.
