tee of City Council held last night.

examination on the state and city laws
and general knowledge about the city
and that il they do not make the re-
quired grade Of 80 per cent. on theil
examination they be dismissed for in

that those who apply for the position
of patrolmen. be given such test ant

ify through this examination.

recommend the adoption Of such 1
plan to council as whole at theil

port of its recommendation that the
provision prohibiting the use of COM
man agencies by the defendant COM

that the companies were purchasing

A million gallons of lotions, oint-

cal treatment will not give any
real permanent relief from skin
diseases. Get this fact firmly in
your mind, and there is hope for
you.
If you have ever been afflicted
with eczema, letter, boils, erup-

tons you a appreciate the real
terrifying discomfort that comes
from these disorders. And what
you are looking for is not merely
temporary, palliative relief that
may cause the terrible burning and
itching to abate for awhile, but
real genuine relief that shakes off
the shackles of the disease, and re-
stores the skin to its former
healthy condition.
Follow the teachings of science,
and you will learn that the skin is
fed by the blood, and naturally,
then, the condition of your skin
will depend upon the condition OF
your blood. If the blood becomes
