The gentlemen who jumped on Mr..
McCausland's refunding scheme must
have felt like kicking themselves, or
some one else, when they learned that
that gentleman did not intend it for
publication, but simply for the consider

losing confidence in newspapers news
paper men have them selves to thank

There seems to be some doubt as to
whether Barney J. Casey, who was APP
pointed janitor at the city hall ten
weeks ago, can draw his salary though
the court decided that ii was within the
power of the mayor to appoint him, he
not being a policeman. The contention
is that as he was not a policeman his re-
porting to the chief of police each day,
who was not his superior, has no legal
force, that therefore he did not report
for duty, was not on duty and did not
earn his salary. AS Mr.. Alroth did the
duties of janitor believing that he was
the servant Of the city and entitled TO
the salary there should be some way of
compromising this matter. We suggest
that the two Interested parties submit
the matter to arbitration.

feet from the light, protected by blue
spectacles and by screen of cardboard
containing small aperture through
which the light falls on the affected
part of the body for some three quarters
of a Minute to two minutes. A slight
sensation Of heat is felt although the
temperature never rises above degrees
Fahr where the light shines on the
skin. Six or eight hours aiterward the
skin itches, tinglcs, and becomes red
and in forty eight hours begins peeling
This lasts for two or three days. DR..
Koziovski treated thirty-eight patients,
whose ages varied from Is to 20 years,
by this method. There were eight cases
of sciatica, all Of which recovered, four
Of neuritis, two Of which recovered,
eighteen of chronic rheumatism four
teen of which recovered, and three of
Iumbago, Which all recovered. Three
or four sttings lessened the pain. The
total number never exceeded a dozen.

four days, according to cutaneous irrita-
