ANOTHER WO RFUL CUREJY CUTICURA "About a year ago my hands began to crack and peel. I tried many remedies, but they grew worse all the time. At last they became so sore that it impossible for me to do my housework.
If I put my hands in water, I was in agony for hours; and if I tried to cook over the stove, the heat caused Intense pain. I consulted a doctor, but hta prescriptions were utterly hseless. I gave him up and tried another, hut without the least satisfaction. About six weeks ago 1 got my first relief when purchased Cuticura Soap and Ointment. After using them for a week, I found to my great delight that my hands were beginning to feel ranch better, the wracks began to heal up and stop today my hands are oiftirely well, the one cake of Cuticura Soap and one box of cura being all that I used, iSigned) Mrs.

The character Miss (Slaaer portrays is that of a hoydenish, slangy, tomboyi.sh- sort of a gin, but one who is possessed of such physical charm and such keen wit. and wlio is at heart so true and noble that she is altogether captivatmg. She is the heiress of an American millionaire maker of condcmsed soup an.j 1s touring Europe In search of a titled husband. The father and mother are the conventional comic opera caricatures the new rich, who outdo-'the origina Mrs Malaprop in perverting the English language.

The plot" centers about a case of mistaken Identity, secretary being confounded with his master who is a lord of high degree. The lord tails desperately in iove with Dolly and to be near her accepts employment as chauffeur. The complications resultirig from the efforts of Dolly's parents to make her wed the supposed lord and of Dolly's determination to have only the man of apparent humble hirth nie sufficiently numerous and various to keep the performance at a pltcn or joyous merriment.

Plan lirfed by Many Gilizens Before Giiy CouoGil. Prof Parsons and Mr Fryer Differ on Figures. QUINCY, Nov ownership of lighting plants occupied hours of the city council's time this evening. The subject was brought up at a public hearing given by the council to Levi H. Turner and hundreds of who asked that the city arrange, by purchase or otherwise, to establish a municipal gas and eleetrlq lighting plant.
Mr Turner was the first speaker. the local gr.s plant was worth less today than it was 10 years ago, because of the lack of Interest on the part of the owners of the plant. Despite tho fact that the population had Increased from to 26,000 no gas mains had been laid in that time, he said. lie said the price of an arc llgl. in Quincy was $71, burned only till 1 on the moon Hchedule, and the cost fOr an incandescent light was In Braintree, he said, where they had a municipal plant, the cost of an arc light, burned all night on the moon schedule, was $50.85 and that of an light 113.11.
Prof Frank Parsons of Boston university said the people of Quincy still In the middle age.s as far as paying for lights wa.s concerned. He said the cost to the citizens of Braintree for electric lights was less than one-third of the cost paid by the people of Quincy. He reviewed at lengDi tho cities of the country where municipal ownership was established, said the prices were much lower than in cities that depended on private ccrporations for their light. He said the gas commissioners of this stare were not fair In their treatment of municipal plants, and he thought D)e reports of gas companies to the oommissloner.s were as variable as Dio weathei' In New England. Ha thought it to be possilJe for tae peoi'le of Quincy to got $1 Alexander.
E. Fvyer spoke again.st tha project. He said Mr Turner had intimidated people into signing his petition. He called to order by Pres Nicliola and told be must not indulge in personalities. He then read long list of cities wliicli he said had thoir municipal plants to private corporations because they were unprofit.abie.
Mr Fryer read figures, which he said were given Ity the managers of Braintree e.lectric light department, which differed from those given by Prof Parsons. Mr Fryer said that if the depreciation was figured Into tiic Braintree account it would be found that arc lights really cost $90 a year in that town. He said if Quincy would estab- lisli a municipal lighting plant Itiwould lose $5900 in tase.s which it now receives; that the cost of labor under a. compulsory S-hour day for city ployes would make the cost of electricity more and that the cost of tha lights would be more then than at present. Mr Fryer was asked how it was his figures differed from those of Prof Parsons and he replied smilingly; "Truly, I am not responsible for the Prodded further by certain councilmen Mr Fryer said that the large number of beer parties previous to city elections showed him conclusively that tho people In Quincy believed that to tho victors belonged the spoils and thought that this would affe'jt the lighting plant.
John J. Byron spoke in favor of municipal lighting plants and said the cry of expense and Inefficiency of public officials to manage a private enterprise was raised at the time the water works were purchased, and it proved ii fiiila- cious one. If the city had bought tho water plant twi years before It did, he said, it would have saved $250,000. Joseph G. Kennedy spoke in opposition and Prof Parsons replied in rebuttal, J'hc hearing was c'inclucleu at 10 was referred back tha committee for purpose some time ago.
