bacilli which causes burning. itching

The medical value of the oil of

years to physicians but it remained for

worm and other kindred diseases of the
skin. One application of this clean
pure liquid known as d. d. d. Pres
cription at once stops the awful itch.
The relief is instantaneous.
Here is what John A. White Of sos

June Is, 1907:
Il have just been cured by D. D. D.

Eczema a man could have. I used only
nine bottles and it did the work after 1
had spent over $4,000 with the best
doctors in the country and got no re-
lief. Let any person suffering with
skin diseases write ME personally"
Such cases as these seem innumera-
BILE. We can absolutely vouch for d.

MADE IN NEW YORK."
The Significance Of the Phrase in
Matters of Mems Dress.

Cincinnati has been called "PorkO-
poliS,' Pittsburg is the steel center of
the world, Duluth is the market for
nearly all the grain in the North West.
Chicago has the largest mail order
houses in the world. while Minneapolis
is noted for its flour mills.
Milwaukee is also famous for it's
products.
New York can lay title to being the
style center for mems clothing, and no
one will dispute it,
There is a leisure class in New York
larger than in any other city in this
country. There are more clubs, and
more clubmen.
New York is the place where the Ma
tional Horse Show is held, where
Grand Opera is given night after night
to thousands Of fashionably dressed
men and women.
People from all over the United
States visit New York periodically.
While they are there they not only
New Workers. but they buy and take
home with them clothes in the styles
that are worn in New York.
In this way New York sets the fash
ions for the entire country. but it is
really not necessary to go to New York
tc buy clothes that are made in the
correct New York style.
There are great tailoring establish
ments in New York, such for example
as that Of Alfred Benjamin & Co,
who turn out yearly a great number of
garments for the people of New York
which they duplicate, and send to
their trade throughout the country.
In this city, where the Messer-Per-
ley Co.. 23s Water street, sells the
clothes of Alfred Benjamin & Co., any
man in that city can be certain he is
dressing like q New Yorker if he buys
clothes made by Alfred Benjamin &
Co

TELEPHONE EXCHANGE.
Changes for Betterment of Service
lnaugurated by Manager O'Brien.

Many improvements have recently
been made in the telephone equipment
at the central office in this city. This
work has been under the direction Of
Manager c. H. O'Brien, ably assisted
by George Barker, late of Boston. who
has charge of the various lines radiat-
ing from the switchboard.
One of the principal changes has
been in the working schedule and Il
new one is now being arranged which
will go into effect Jan. and will show
the efficiency of each operator on the
board, and by means of the odometer
the exact number of calls sent in
through the day will be recorded.
TO increase the efficiency of the ser
vice two new sections have been added
to the board, making SIX positions in
ALL Three Of these are equipped for
local woro and one new toll position
has been installed. making the board as
modern as any in the country. On a
rush each operator can take care Of
200 calls per hour, or Il total of 1900
calls for the entire board. though it is
hardly possible that this limit would
be reached. The present toll switch
board is being Widened out SO as to
give more room for the operator for
writing purposes.
With practice and plenty Of work the
average number Of calls which can be
attended to by the operators can be in
creased to a large extent. AS matters
now stand the business of the day is
constantly under the hand of the wire
chief, who would appreciate reports
from the public Of inattention on the
part of the operating service, that the
efficiency Of the service may be in
creased

DRIVERS LICENSES GRANTED.
Matter Of City Marshal Acting as In
spector Of Carriages Discussed.

AT the special meeting of the
city government in joint convention
held last night at City hall to gran,
licenses to cab drivers the following
drivers applied for and were granted
licenses: Ernest b. Doe, Eugene A.
Emery, Eugene H. Herrin, Percy r.
Marston. Fred E. Merrill, Elias w.
Cove.
Councilman Enoch Merrill proposed
at the meeting that the city marshal
be empowered to look after the inspec-
ton of the teams, instead of special
committee. He said that the principal
kick from the drivers was about the
inspection fee and thought thai if the
city marshal did the inspecting that he
could 10 it as a part of his regular
duties and that it would be much more
satisfactory to the drivers.
In opening the meeting Mayor Plafst-
ed took this idea as the text for some
remarks, in which he reviewed the
abuses that public carriage drivers
have been guilty of in times past. the
eXorbitant fares that they have charg
ed at times and the very unsa tisfactory
manner in which they have behaved.
especially during the legislative ses-
sionS. He said that many Of the
troubles had come from drivers that
were here simply for the legislative
session and not from the regular cab
drivers Of the city. The idea advanced
that the city marshal look after the
inspection of the carriages he consider
ed u good one and asked for an infor-
mai vote on the matter. The informal
vote showed unanimous voice in fav-
or of the city marshal acting as in
SpectOr of the teams.
