COMMISSION HAS RIGHT To Change From Direet to Alternat- ing Electric Current The following is the opinion of the city solicitor, submitted to the City Council on Tuesday evening, with reference to the changing of direct to alternating electric current on the part of the Utilities Commission: "I am of the, opinion that the commisfioners have the power to change from direct to alternating current, and request consumers of power to change their motors from direct to alternating without being under any obligation to pay the con- summers... anything whatever, of course the consumers ean refuse (to take the power if they want to. "As to whether the power plant can discriminate and serve some con- sumers with the direct current and others with an alternating current, 1 am of the opinion that such discrimf- nation cannot be allowed, and that if direct current is supplied to one consumer, then it must be supplied to all buildings within the municipal- ity sitnate upon land lying along the same line of supply wire, that is, if there is a sufficient supply of the public utility." C out the continuation of St, Catherine], .- Thin-blooded people do not remain so from choice but from indifference; in some cases, from despair. Ieople who ate pale, languid, with palpita- tion of the heart, some difficulty in breathing and a tendency to be easily tired are suffering from thin blood. They need only the resolution to take the right treatment and stick to it until cured. The remedy that can be relied upon is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. With every dose they make mew blood, and new blood means health and strength. + The red cheeks, good ap- petite, increasing, weight gmd stren- gth that follow the use of these Pills prove their great value to thin-blood: ed people. Here is an example: Mrs. R. Steele, Afton Road, PEL, says : "Following child-birth I took a pain in my head which grew . so bad [ hud to call in a doctor." He told me that my blood had turned to water and that T was in a serfous condition. He treated me four mon- the, but still the pain remained, and my condition was growing pitiable. I lost my appetite and was so weak and rundown that 1 could no more than walk across the room. I! was as pale as a corpse, and the doctor 'told my friends he had but little hopes of my getting better. A cou gin who came to see me urged me io try Dr. Williams® Pink Pills and 1 sent and got a supply. In about =& month after beginning their use I ad much relief, and by the time I had taken six more boxes I was fully cured and felt as well as ever I did in my lie. 1 have weve: had atin i'the pain simee, and feel that hg fe {6 Dr. Williams' = Pink owe my life me after the doc Pills, as they eured tor had failed."

CURED BY SUN'S RAYS Remarkable Cases Reported to Medi- cal Congress in Vienna Vienna," May 27.--Remarkable "'oures" of tuberculosis and boné& dis eases were shown at a meeting Just held oi the Vienna Medical Associa tion. It was asserted that serious ai- fections, such as abscesses, ulcers, bone fissure, deep wounds and burns, which surgeons had been unable to cure, were completely healed by ex- posure to the sun. Children treated in this manner were said to be restor ed to health. The doctors declared that the sun cure could be carried on without re ference to the altitude, as the local destruction of bacilli is of less conse quence than the invigorating efieet of sunshine on the whole physical wys- tem, sun Psst nbn api To Naturalize Industry.
