ONCE A WIDE CANAL.

Curb Brokers Now Operate.

Broad Street, New York, Where the
Curb Brokers Now Operate.
The curb brokers of New York, who
now operate on Bread street. would
have been forced to conduct their bust
ness from gondolas or canal boats had
they made use Of that thoroughfare In
early days, for where solid pavement
now stands there was wide canal.
Many people nowadays, wandering
through the narrow streets of lower
Manhattan, have wondered at Broad
streets unusual width. Still more pc
culiar was such breadth of thorough
fare In the olden times. when streets
were nearly all narrow. and TO dis
tinguish 1t from the alley-like byways
that surrounded IL the thoroughfare
was referred to as "the broad street"
The Dutch called 1t the "Heere Graft"
(The latter word had a far different
meaning in those days. 1t was not at
first a street, but the principal canal
of the city, This canal, wide enough
for heavy boats to pass each other,
ran into Broad street at the southern
end and continued north almost to
Wall street A similar but smaller ca
nal ran through Beaver street.
Peter Stuyvesant in 1867 had the
canals sides planked, and a few dec
AIDES later the waters were gradually
replaced by street.
As that street perforce followed the
canals former lines, 1t was much the
widest thoroughfare In all lower Man

Broad street. Had New York real es-
tate been worth one-twentieth as much
then as at present Broad street would
probably have been shaved down to
the width of Nassau or Wall street

ECZEMA ON SCALP
HEALED IN 4.DAYS
Small Mattery PimpIe on Top Of
Child's Head. Broke and Formed
Hard Crust. Very Itchy. Not a
SignofItSince Cuticura Soap

at affords me pleasure to tell of the
good Cuticura Soap and Ointment have
done my little girl. She had eczema on
the scalp last fall. The trouble began
in this way. First a small mattery
pimple appeared. The pimple broke
and the matter, a watery substance, ran
on the skin, forming hard crust which
was very itchy. 1t was on the top OF
her head, and the crust became as large
as the palm of my hand. My doctor
said it was a form OF eczema.
"I used a remedy but had no success
with it. | used it nearly two weeks,
then a friend recommended Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. ! used the Cuti-
cura Ointment, applied it, on the scalp
at night and morning, and IN four days
the scalp was all healed, no sign Of
crusts or scabs could be seen. Then
] washed her hair with Cuticura Soap.
She has not had sign of eczema since
Cuticura Soap and Ointment cured her,
and shall always keep them in my house.

A HEALTHY.
HAPPY OLD AGE

May be promoted by those who
gently cleanse the system, now and
then, when in need of a laxative
remedy, by taking the ever refresh
ing, wholesome and truly beneficial
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA,
which is the only family laxative
generally approved by the most
eminent physicians, because it acts
in a natural, strengthening way,
and warns and tones up the in
ternal organs without weakening
them.
1t is equally beneficial for the
very young and the middle aged, as
it is always efficient and free from
all harmful ingredients. To get
it's beneficial effects always buy
the genuine, bearing the name of
the company-California Fig Syrup
Co., plainly printed on the front
of every package.
