ipaI Ownership Is Practicable.

Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. s.-Municipal
ownership of public utilities has been de.
clared not only feasible but highly prob.
able by Mayor Weaver in the event of the
passage of the civil service bill now before
the legislature. Mr.. Weaver expressed
himself to this effect in answer to ques-
tons as to his advocacy of the city taking
over the gas works. operating it's own
electric lighting plant and in the matter
of improved street railway system. :,
1t was made plain by him that under the
present condition he woulod. not favor
municipal ownership, but he pointed out
that with a proper civil service law there
was no reason why the city should not be
able to manage-its business as well as a
corpora ton or private concern.

Arrange the seaweed on the paper
under water, using cameps hair
brush, and cut away with pair Of
scissors any unnecessary parts.
This having been done CAREFULLY,
lift out paper and weed together. lay
the paper on piece of blotting paper,
put piece OF linen over the weed, on
top Of that piece Of blotting paper,
and then put under pressure as d..

change the blotting paper, and use 1t
again after drying.
Most seaweeds will adhere to the

that we at once called In the doctor.
We then went to another doctor,
but he could not help him. and In our
despair we went to third one. Mat
tiers became SO bad that he had regu-
lar holes In his cheeks, large enough
to put finger into. The food had to
be given with spoon. for his mouth
was covered with crusts as thick as
e finger, and whenever he opened the
mouth they began to bleed and sup
purate, as did also his eyes. Hands.
arms. chest and back, In short the
whole body was covered over and
over. We had no rest by day or night.
Whenever he was laid in his bed. we
had to pin his hands down; otherwise
he would scratch his face and make
an open sore. I think his face must
have itched most fearfully.
I'VE finally thought nothing could
help, and had made up my mind to
send my wife with the child to Eu-
rope. hoping that the sea air might
cure him, otherwise he was to be put
under good medical care there. But,
