nutshell.
Never was there a cure for lung trou-
bles equal to the newly-discovered DIR.
Slocum treatment. This forms a sys-
tenn OF Four Remedies that are used ST.
%multaneously and supplement each
others curative action. 1t cures weak
lungs, bronchitis, asthma, coughs, con-
sumption and every other ailment of
the pulmonary region. 1t destroys
every germ that can affect the respira-
tory system, and even in advanced
stages OF lung trouble positively arrests
the tubercular growth, while it also
builds up the patient so that his system
is enabled to throw off scrofula, rheum-
atism, catarrh, and other wasting dis
eases.
Thousands of cured cases already
prove these claims. Thousands of CRATE

The Doctor wants everybody to know
the surprising merits of his system. He

Extension Presentation Of 4 Badge

The rapid rate OF speed at which the
Rhode Island hospital ambulance
dashed through the square at about
noon yesterday caused much excite
ment. The ambulance had been sum-
moned TO the Turkish bath establish
ment Of Nathan Abelson, at 235 Chalk
stone avenue. TO take Max Wightman
TO the hospital. Max. after his morn
ing meal, went to the bathing house
TO take a Turkish bath. After the bath
he seemed overheated, so he thought
that by means of a shower bath ne
would cool off. He filled the pail he
was to use with hot water instead ot
cold. and he was badly burnt about the
head. When the doctors arrived with
the ambulance they dressed the IN
jured mans burns, and he was able tor
walk TO the ambulance. His injuries
though very painful were not consid-
cred dangerous.

large gang Of men at work on Douglas
avenue and the car rails are LAID as Gar
as the corner OF Bernon street. IL is
expected that this lire will meet with
a good deal of favor, as residents of the
section through which the new line
runs have been long anxious for car
service. Somehow or other contrary to
what was supposed would be the case
the residents of Capitol Hill have
shown no special fondness for the short
route over Francis street. This may
be due to the cars that go the short
way not being as good as those on the
other route, and the Capitol Hill folks
have good eye for beauty.
The police of the Second station took

+. Shea for his excellent work In be-
half of his fellow members. The pre-
sentation speech was made by Presi-
dent James III. Henderson and stated
very effectively the feelings of the or
ganization towards the Captain. Capt.
Shea did the best he could under the
circumstances. but he made the cadets
feel that their testimonial was highly
appreciated. Under such devoted off,
GERS as Capt. Shea and President Hen
derson the old organization will not
take any backward steps, even though
