After Mr. Kellaher. In a semi-eloquent' speech, explained his ordinance, which was aimed to eliminate all latlon of Jitneys, the Council voted the measure down four to one. Mr. Kellaher alone voting for It. The Council 'mem bers aa-reed. however, that they would support a proposal to submit the ques tion to the vote of the people at a spe cial city election In ApriL Thin its hare shaped themselves, aid Mr. Kellaher In explaining his ...n "in aucb fashion as to necessi tate competition for the street railway company. Tha ordinance passca j in has accomplished its purpose. don't know who drew the ordinance as submitted, bat. like all suco measures. It was drawn by someone who knew the buetnesa and slxed up tha entire situa tion. Kellaher Tratea Casspetlttosw "It Is true tha people voted two to ore for tha measure as adopted, but. JndgltiK from expressions heard now. the rote now would r nine to one the other way. The streetcar company ought to have .competition.

"subject only to tha traffic laws of tha city an state." -That would eliminate tha UabtUt bond aa voted for by the people, aa understand It- Why don't you Intro duce a measure to repeal tha people measure? This, as I understand It. ac complishes that purpose Indirectly.' "That measure was passed by th ceo Die." replied Mr. Kellaher. "I do not believe In Interfering with acts o the people, even though they may have been led Into a trap." Mayor Makes) Sss;rtlem. "But you wish to nullify tha will of tha voters by an Indirect method, the Mayor. "Why haven't you courage to come out In tha open move to repeal the act of the people?" Tb sorry you think I haven't the courasre." said Mr. Kellaher. "I will say. however, that my vote will never lift from the books any measure en' acted by the people. "But you are willing." said the Mayor. "to go In a roundabout way to acoom pllnh th same purpose. This move of yours." said Commit loner Mann, "would nullfy th will of th people, even tRough technically you might not bo repealing th direct measure voted by th people two to one."

"Dan." laughed tha Mayor, "this would be a great world If It wasn't for that coming election, wouldn't it?" " don't know Just what you mean.' replied Kellaher. "All I can say Is that If the people get a chance now to ahow whether they want Jitneys or not. they will show that they want them by patronising them." "Well, personally." said Mayor Baker, "I would not want to tke th reapon slbtllty of overthrowing th will of the voter and turning the Jitneys looae with absolutely no regulation, remem bering th experience we had before In uch affairs as that accident on Wash ington street when several people were Killed, and in other cases when peoole wer killed and maimed. I can Imagine notning worse than a city full of un regulated JItneya." "Th people passed th Jitney ordi aanc and I believe they knew what ther wer doing." said Commissioner alla-elow. The Council also paaaed regulatory ordinances) before that, based on experience. I wUl say light now I win never vote for an ordinance that will throw th people's will to the wind.

WARRANTED) BACKED BY MANY MILLION'S tS CAPITAL that la a matter for the attending phy sician, but I will briefly say that Dr. Dudley advises excision of the pimple. Injection of carbolic acid Into the wound and, if necessary, injection of anti-anthrax serum. The last annual report of the Man chester health department reports find In? anthrax hacilll in a large consign ment of shaving brushes. Fortunately the bacilli were found in the first bunch of brushes put on the market and it was possible to get hold of sev eral thousand of the same lot still un sold, to find anthrax bacilli in them and to desroy them. The anthrax bacillus Is the hardest to kill of all bacteria. After It has found spores it cannot be killed by boil- in or or bv any of the commonly used antiseptics. Spores in hides, fur boas and shaving brushes are liable to be dormant for years and then for some reason to be converted into bacilli and to cause infection. In one small section of a dairy dis trict anthrax spores have remained in some pastures for more than 15 years. causing periodic outbreaks of systemic anthrax In dairy cows. An infected shaving brush might be used many times without causing infection and then, through some incident of use, be come highly dangerous. Shaving brushes may be disinfected by boiling for a few minutes each day for three days, leaving the brush moist between boilings. On the third day the brush should be washed in 8 per cent carbolic acid and then In alcohol. Brushes known to be infected should bo destroyed. make It sour In cold weather to give poultry?" REPLY.

A cordial Invitation Dancer ef Aatkursuc MAN cut his face while shaving on Tuesday. On Wednesday he had a small bump which It was thought might be a bolL This was picked with a needle, but no pus was found. The next day the surrounding skin was swelling badly. His face, neck, head and upper chest swelled greatly. He died on Saturday night. This seems to me to have been a case of anthrax rather than of erysipelas. The probability la that the infection was present in the shaving brush. Skin anthrax starts with a small pimple resembling an insect bite. In about 12 hours a small, clear blister comes at the point of Infection. This changes to a leathery lump. From this center the Infection travels outwardly. The swelling may be as marked or more marked than that of erysipelas. Where the Infection has taken place on the face the swelling may close the eyes and almost close the mouth, and the neck and chin landmarks may be Indistinguishable. More than half tha cases of skin an thrax start on the face and head and nearly all of the remainder begin on the upper extremities. Tho mortality Is about 30 per cent. If the bacteria get Into the blood, as not Infrequently happens, life may be rapidly termi nated. I think this case was probably one of anthrax because of the Infection In shaving and short incubation period, the preliminary pimple, the small blis ter which the wife tried to pick, the rapid progress of the disease and the quick death. In the January E number of the Jour nal of the American Medical Associa tion Dr. Dudley, of Endlcott, N. Y.. re ports two cases of skin anthrax cured by him. One of the cases was infected while shaving. He thinks the disease is curable. He cured his cases by Injecting 8 per cent carbolic acid Into the small pimple. I will not go into tha treatment, since Symptoms of Consumption. A. W. writes: "I have been spitting blood for a considerable time, have night sweats and when I breathe I re mark a rattling noise on my right lung. The examination of the sputum was negative. Kindly Inform me whether aforesaid symptoms are those of the so-called first stage of consumption?" REPLY. Your symptoms indicate that you have consumption and that the dlaeaa. has passed the first stage. Negative sputum does not mean that consumption Is absent. t Raynaud's Disease. H: I. S. writes: "1. What Is good to help Raynaud's disease? "2. Is the disease progressive? "3. Where Is the adrenal gland and what are its functions?" REPLY. 1. Go south for the Winter. 2. It Intermits sets well and later returns. 8. The adrenal glands are clos. to the upper end of the kldneya Tha secretion of this gland Is absorbed dlreotly Into the blood. It has several functions. The secre tion affects the force, of the heart beat, regulates the secretion of other glands among other functions. Soar Milk for Poultry. J. K. S. writes: "Can you tell me anything Inexpensive to put in milk to Heroin and Heart Lesion. Puzzled writes: "1. Heroin. What is It; its use and the result of taking it continually to relieve lung trouble? "2. Just what is a heart lesion and how serious is it? Can this be mis taken for tuberculosis, as the blood has always come up pure without any froth V REPLY. 1. Heroin belongs to the morphine group. It is used to control pain and cough about as morphine la. Persons who take It fre quently are liable to develop the heroin habit and that habit Is about 30 per cent worse than the morphine habit. ' 2. The term heart lesion means about the same condition as heart disease. There are many kinds of heart lesions. Most of them are serious. A heart lesion which causes hemorrhage from the lungs is serious. A physician should have no difficulty In dif ferentiating between tuberculosis of the lung and heart disease.

Glass of Hot Water Before Breakfast a Splendid Habit Open sluice of the system each morning and wash away the poisonous, stagnant matter. Those of us who are accustomed to feel dull and heawy when we arise; splitting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stomaoh, lame back, can. instead, both look and feel as fresh as a daisy always by washing the poisons and toxins from the body with phosphated hot water each morning. We should drink, before breakfast, a glass of real hot water with a tea spoonful of limestone phosphate In It to flush from the stomach, liver, kid neys and ten yarda of bowels the pre vious day's Indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary tract before putting more food into the stomach. The action of limestone phosphate and hot water on an empty stomach Is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans' out all the sour fermentations, gases. waste and acidity and gives one a splen did appetite for breakfast. A quarter pound of limestone phosphate will cost very little at the drug store, but Is suf ficient to make anyone who Is bothered with biliousness, constipation, stomach trouble or rheumatism a real en thusiast on the subject of internal san itation.
