of the Brightwood Citizens AssociA-

Rev. DIR. Van Schsick Is expected TO

charges that he is not a bona fide

The brief by Mr.. Clayton Is direct
ID to the claimed disqualification OF
Dr. Van Schaick under the concl' ling
paragraph of the disability clause in
the act of 1878: "Shall have claimed
residence nowhere else for a period
OF three years next before appoint
smept." IL is on this point that the
District Committee seeks enlighten-
ment from Dr. Van Schaick himself.
Nr. Clayton's brief reads, In part.
- follows:
"Your objector says that said John
Van Schaick jr., established some
twenty-five years ago a voting resi-
dence in CobbleskIii' Herkimer

DU POINTS EVOLVE ETHER
PRACTICAL TO DENTISTS
New Type Of Anesthetic an Improve
ment, Since II Carries No
Nauseating Effects.

A new type OF ether which elm
mates pain without loss OF con
sciousness and practically eliminates
the nausea that generally follows
the use OF ether, has been developed
by T.. /. du Pont dc Nemours Co.
Of Wilmington, Del. and is now be-
ing produced.
The new anesthetic Is a highly re-
fined ether modified by the addition
OF certain gases which give II these
new and desirable characteristics in
addition TO it's use as an anesthetic,
In ordinary practice it's ability to pro-
duce insensibility to pain without
loss OF consciousness opens up an
entirely new field OF usefulness.
The most common OF these are in
dentistry, where the new ether will
render painless such operations as
nerve treating, removal OF roots
and drilling and filling OF teeth. and
in obstetrical cases where only a
small amount OF the ether Is required
TO relieve the pain.
Tests which have been conducted
with the new ether at various hos
pitfalls and clinics have demonstrated
that II Is thoroughly practical.

EMBARGOES ON
FREIGHT TO THE
EAST LIFTING

Embargoes against general freight
shipments to Eastern points have
been practically removed, New York
being the principal exception to the
rule. Shipments for New England are
being taken via Hagerstown and cen
trail Pennsylvania points to Albany,
N. Y, thence to destination. New
York is tied down because of the long
shoremen's strike which includes
lighterage employees.
The embargoes against lumber
which have been in effect for con-
siderable time, have worked a grea.
hardship upon manufacturers in Flor
ida, who are now able to move their
products into a number of the prin-
cipal markets for this territory.
In the middle West, Cleveland, To-
ledo and Chicago are still. locked
This is one of the sore spots in the
present rail situations and it is hoped
by rail men here that the ban will be
soon lifted, permitting shippers to
send their freight through. The ex-
act status of conditions in these cities
is not known here, but hope is held
out that they will open soon. Jack
