This Is due to the fine cooperation
given the specialists by the chiefs and
heads Of all departments. Mr.. Sands
said that he had found hearty support
from all sources. and he predicted
that the work Of the survey would
be greatly facilitated by this fact.

Each man engaged in thi work Is
thoroughly familiar with the task as
signed him, which has caused no small
delight to city officials. for they are
frequently called upon to explain the

the operation Of municipal machinery.
The result OF this Is that n me rela-

General Castleman, says the News,
is a southerner, an eX-Confederate
soldier and gentleman of the real
quality, and continues:

telling what their medicines contain.

people is to let them know what they

to be "patent" medicine.
