MOBILE HAS MADE
A NEW CONTRACT
SOUTHERN BITULITHIC CO. WILL
PAVE STREETS-THE REPORTED
STRIKE OF SWITCHMEN DOES
NOT MATERlALlZE.

Mobile, April 1.-(Special)-At a special
meeting of the board of public works,
held this afternoon. new contract was
made with the Southern Bitulithic COM
pany of Nashville with a maintenance
clause extended to fifteen years instead of
ten years, as in the former contract.
The old contract made some time ago

null and void at a meeting recently held,
based upon a recent decision of the SUI
preme court, declaring that the mainten-
ance of the pavement must be borne by
the city out of the general fund and not

He was not at all pleased with the sit
uation with regard to the action of the
corporations who had seemed to do
things by way of retaliation and wanted
to assure all that the commission would
make all orders with a view of lettering
the people, and he thought the same
thing should be so of the rail lines. He
refererd to the maximum rate laws and
the action of some of the carriers in put
ting up the rates above those which eX
listed prior to the first of January last.
The commission then went into dis
cussion of several minor matters, includ-
ing requests for depots and other changes
and was still in session late In the after
noon. The action of the Judge of the
United States court had the effect of
tying up most of the work outlined by
the commission. and this will be the case
until it is settled as to whether or not
there shall be a permanent injunction.
The laws tied up are the maximum rate,
tho general classification and rate bill and
the two and one-half-cent passenger fare
laws.

The following cases before the commits
sion were disposed of as indicated:
Application to have the Louisville and

IN ONE WEEK ALL
SORES DISAPPEARED

"Our little girl, one year and a half
old, was taken with eczema or that was
what the doctor said it was. We called
in the family doctor and he gave some
tablets and said she would be all right
in few days. The eczema grew worse
and we called in doctor No. 2. He
said she was teething, as soon as the
teeth were through she would be all
right. But she still grew worse. Doc
tor No. 3 said it was eczema. By this
time she was nothing but a yellow,
greenish sore. Well, he said he could
help her, SO we let him try it about
a week. One morning we discovered
q little yellow pimple on one OF her
eyes. OF course we 'phoned for doctor
No. 3. He came over and looked her
over and said that he could not do any
thing more for her. that we had better
take her to some eye specialist, since it
was an ulcer. So we went to Oswego
to doctor No. A, and he said the eye
sight was gone, but that he could help it.
We thought we would try doctor No. 5.
Well, that proved the same, only he
charged $40 more than doctor No. 4.
We were nearly discouraged. l saw
