That the sailor 'boarding house sys tem as conducted under the present heavy expense to shipping must be dis continued was the decision reached yes terday afternoon at a conference held here by the various foreign consular representatives. The conference was held in the Brit ish consulate for the purpose of further discussing the subject which formed the topic at a special meeting' of tht board of trustees and the harbor and river committee of the chamber of com merce Tuesday afternoon when the various parties concerned were given opportunity to speak. The consular representatives stated their views and held emnhatlcallv for a. iiinicnui reduction in tne ree cnarged for furnishing sailors while John Grant, who conducts the licensed sailor board ing nouse, argued In favor of his In leresis. several other parties were caiiea upon to give testimony for which ever side they favored. Tne conclusion reaohed by the trustees was that the present legal fee is too high and it was ueciuea to save a new uui drawn up ror tne legislature amending the act of 1903 governing the sailor boarding; To more emphatically make this po sition clear the foreign consuls got to gether yesterday afternoon and after taxing- into consideration all the phases of the question they became firmer than ever in the conclusion that under no circumstances should the legal fee for lurrusiung seamen exceed ill). They held that there is no need for a sailor boarding house. The consuls believe that the sailor Is able to take care of himself when In port and if he wants to go to a boarding house he does not need a law to state to whlrh one house he should go to gain admis sion. A state shipping commissioner. they declare, would solve the problem.

Glass does not Insulate this form of elec tricity as it passes through the glass electrodes used in treating; skin diseases, ulcers and enlarged glands. As the nerve currents of the body are essentially elec tric In character, It follows that this powerful form of electricity io the best possible treatment for all nervous diseases, and experi ence shows that it cures nervous debility, sciatica, nervous head aches, neuasthenla. In rheuma tism it Is equally, effective, and aided by the radiant heat of the high power electric light, it re moves inflammation from the Joints, or from any part of the body. This power over inflamma tion makes the treatment curative In a great many conditions which are not Lnfluftnced by medicine or ordinary methods of treatment. Such troubles as indigestion, chronlo constipation and piles yield readily to it, and asthma, chronic bronchitis, consumption (first and second stages), catarrh of the stomach, appendicitis and kidney diseases are cured. N. B. This treatment is pecu liarly effective in diseases of the PBOBTATE, removing congestion and reducing enlargement of the gland. Consultation free. W.I.
