"If Rhode* street bae been closed,'' continued the mayor, "no one In that section of the city has been put to any inconvenience, because none of the peo ple living In that rttcnlty uses or has used that street. Magnolia street has not been closed and traffic can get through. The building of the trestle has not closed that thoroughfare."

This distinguished German physician has established the fact flint most bodily ills may he pre vented or cured by the adoption of proper clothing; and he has constructed a system based* on the principle of pure animal fibre for clothing and bedding. Hence, tbe “Dr. Jaeger Sanitary Woolen System.” Fundamentals of Dr. Jaeger's Sanitary Clothing System. ** 1. Animal Wool is a material provided by Nature for the clothing of an annual body. -• Man, therefore, can be clothed naturally or properly only iii clothing of animal material. 3. W’oolen Clothing exerts its beneficial influences by virtue of its non-conductivity of heat aud electricity, its permeability to moisture, its attraction for air and its repulsion for water. These properties of the Dr. Jaeger Women Fabrics, and their relation to tho functions and exhala tions of the skin, constitute the basis of the “Dr. Jaeger Sanitary Woolen System.” Dr. Jaeger’s Underwear in three weights, light, medium and winter.

Aa soon as Ihe Georgia company commenced selling at 11 cents. Stand ard oil promptly came down to the same price, but haa gone no lower.
