In place of roo. The coun I'll, however. was
opposed TO any change cooking to an in
crease Of rates in the future and a mo-
ton declining to grant the prayer of the
petitioner was carried by a good majority
The Independent company now has $50 in

and consequent increase in rates after 500

ent capacity OF SIS instruments the com
pany expresses itself as being confident of
making It a good investment for its stock
holders.

its great thirst for knowledge and de-
sire to learn.

THE SECRET.
How Doctors Protect Themselves from
Contagious Diseases.

Doctors rarely catch contagious diseases.
Almost everybody knows this but few
know how they escape. Many believe that
the doctor has some charm or antiseptic
which protects him. DR.. Hartman lately
made the truth of this matter public. that
all might realize its benefit. Conta gious
diseases are conveyed by minute organ
isms, known as disease germs. These
germs 1nd their entrance into the system
through the mucous membrane. II the
mucous membrane is healthy they cannot
get into the system. II tiie mucous men,
brane is affected by catarrh the germs find
easy access Catarrhal secretions furnish
exactly the material Upon which they
thrive and multiply. To get rid of the
catarrh and thus preserve the mucous
membrane healthy is the only way to be
safe from contagious diseases. This ex-
plains why 1t is that some people catch
diseases easier than others.
