Nickerson Opens Branch in South Chicago Is Very Elaborate. Another new dental office has opened In South Chicago, 275 Ninety-second street, under the name of the Electro Dental company, with Dr. M. Nicker son and Dr. A. J. Ferner in charge. The parlors compare favorably to the main office of the Nickerson dental parlors, 236 Ninety-second street, and the interior is furnished with elabora tion. Nothing has been spared to fit up the parlors and the five chairs, which compose the main fixtures, are located bothin front and rear. Two convenience of patrons. The walls and convenienc eof patrons. The walls and ceilings have been painted and dec orated In artistic style, and with the profuse lighting apparatuses, both on the in and outside, gives the place a very pretty appearance. The floor of the new place is made entirely of cork and the rugs, which are used, are inlaid in the cork and can be taken out with ease. The electric lights are fitted up with the rosebud shades and the gas lights are also fixed up with something on the same Brackets Are n Feature. A labratory, which is fitted out to perfection, is a feature of the place. Special gas brackets, which are used by Dr. Nickerson, were made especially for him to use in his business. The brackets can be adjusted to any angle and were made at a very large expense. no other dental parlor In the city of Chicago having them. The steps in the hallway leading to the parlors are made of entire rubber. the top of each step being inlaid with a mirror which gives it a very unique appearance. The gas lamps used were designed by the doctor himself for his special use in the dental parlors. No expense was spared in making this parlor the best in South Chicago, and probably in Chicago. In all, about $3,000 has been expended in fitting out the place. Dr. Nickerson is well known throughout South Chicago, having been in business here for the past thirteen years.

It is estimated that the fertile lands of the globe amount to 28,000,000 square miles, the steppes to 14,000,000 and the deserts to 1,000,000. Fixing 207 persons to the square mile for fer tile lands, ten for steppes and one for deserts as the greatest population that the earth could possibly nourish, scientists have arrived at the conclu sion that when the number of inhab itants reaches 6,000,000,000 the earth will be peopled to its full capacity. At present it contains somewhat more than one-quarter of that number. If the rate of increase shown by the latest census statistics should be uni formly maintained the globe would be fully peopled about the year 2072. CURES ECZEMA QUICKLY. Xm Drug, Poelajoi, Now Obtainable In Small Quantities. Since Us discovery one year ago, the new drug, poslam, has successfully cured thousands of chronic cases cf eczema and other distressing skin afflictions. Heretofore poslam has been dispensed solely for the benefit of ec zema patients in large Jars sufficient for a month's treatment. This was to be an inconvenience to many thous ands who use It for minor skin troables, such as pimples, blackheads, herpes, scaly scalp, complexion blemishes, itch ing feet, piles, etc, which require but a small quantity to cure. The over come this, and In response to urgent appeals, the dispensers of poslam have been obliged to adopt. In, addition to the regular two-dollar package, a. spe cial fifty-cent size, which in future may be found on sale at J. W. TVels' a-rtd other leading drug stores In Hammond or may be ordered direct from the Em ergency Laboratories, No. 32 West 25th street. New York City. In all eozesna cases poslam stops itching with first application, and proceeds to heal Ici mediately; chronic cases being cured In two weeks. In less serious akin troubles, results are seen after an ever night application. Samples for experimental purposes may still be had, free of charge, by writing to the laboratories tor ja FIRST AIDJO INJURED Employes of Mill Present Fellow Worker With a Purse. Emil Tetts, 9957 Avenue M, who was injured last week at the Illinois Steel Company's plant by the burst'. pg of an emory wheel, was yesterday presented with J250 by the employes of the mill and of the department in which he was employed. While operating an emory wheel last Friday the wheel bursted and one of the largest pieces struck Tett3 on the base of the skull, causing a serious fracture. The injured man was taken to the Company's hospital, Ulghty eighth. street and Mackinaw avenue, where it is said that he will recover Tctts, who is a machinist at the mill, has a large family consisting of a wife and nine children, and his being In jured would probably have seriously affected the family but for the collec tion that was taken up at the mill. When it was learned that Tetts had a large family depending upon his stip port, the employes began to discuss what could be done for the family which ended in the money being raised. With few exceptions the money came from the department in which Tetts was employed. Tetts is one of Ihe most popular men In the machine ships and his host of friends hope to see him out of the hos pital within a few weeks. Owing to the serious fracture, it will be neces sary to insert a silver plate in odrer lo save his life. CAMPAIGN IMIG UP Choice of Candidates is Up to the People Alone. Judging from the lively interest that the people of the Calumet repion are taking in the primary campaign there will be a large vote August 8, when the new law will be exemplified for the first time. The candidates who re ceive the most votes will be nominees of their parties without the old time convention which took up such a large amount of time. Thus it Is seen that, as never before, the people will control the primaries, and It Is evident that relalizing this a large percentage of the voters will turn out for the coming primaries and will thereby govern their part tickets Instead of leaving it to the choice of the political leaders as has been the custom in the majority ef cases dur ing the past It is therefore necessary that the voters should be acquainted with the past records of the men who are sek- ing public offices. Between now and the coming pri maries The Times will print sketches of the aspiring candidates In making these reports no partiality will be shown and all candidates will be given a square deal. The first sketches will appear in to morrow's issue of this paper. BETTER THAN CIPHER WRITING. South Sea Islanders Have Unique Way of Sending Messages. The day was warm and the sailor turned on the electric fan and stood In its refreshing breeze with a pleased smile. "Id have my head shaved for the Bummer," he said, "but on my scalp is tattooed in Polynesian, 'Kill Atara and Rarahu, the bloody traitors.' "You know, boss, I wunst lived down Samoa way. I lived the native life in a white hut thatched with palm leaves, my young wife wove garlands of fresh flowers every morning for my hair, and I fed like a native on nothin' but baked breadfruit "Well, a war ariz between our tribe and another, and they sent me with a message through' the enemy's country. Fust they shaved my head, then they tattooed the message on the skull, then they made me wait till the hair growed again." He smiled pensively. "Mine was a happy life in the South seas," he said, "and if you ever want a safe way to send a message, tattoo it on your messengers scalp and let his hair grow over it." Camphor to Break Up a Cold. One of the most efficient remedies for breaking up a cold during its earliest stage is camphor. When the eyes begin to water and there is the accompanying tingling of the nose and feeling of chilliness, place three drops of camphor on a lump of loaf sugar and place the eugar in the mouth. Repeat this every 15 minutes till four or five doses have been taken. At the same time place the feet where they will become thoroughly warm. This will usually prove effectual In breaking up a cold if the cold is taken at its very beginning. Fcr a child but one drop should be placed upon the sugar, and five or six doses adminis tered.

These lash ings are done in the presence of the comrades of the deserter, and when the men see how great is the suffering of the miserable wretch who tried in vain to quit his military obligations they are forced to conclude that it is better to stick to the army than to undergo such a terrible ordeal." ALDERMAN M0YN1HAN AFIER MEN! FARE Will Attempt to Make I. C. Come to Time Through K. & C. TEMPORARY PERMIT WANTED Improvement Associations In Terri tory Want Many Concessions Before Granting Eequest. South Chicago's chances for getting a ten cent fare down town over the Illinois Central road looked brighter at the present time than they have at jany time since the matter has been so vigorously agitated by the local im provement and business men s associa tions. The Kensington and Eastern railroad are asking the city council to grant them a temporary permit to lay their i tracks through the south end of the Eight and Thirty-third wards and this afternoon the transportation commit tee of the city council, headed by Al derman Patrick II. Moynihan, will meet the officials of the Illinois Central road to conslderthe matter. The reason for asking a temporary permit is because of the fact that the members of the city council will leave on their vacations within the next few days and it will be impossible for them to get together and grant the road the desider privileges. The attorneys for the Kensington & Eastern road have prepared an ordi nance which Is very much to their liking but which does not meet with the approval of the residents and tax payers of the south end of the two i wards in which the road is asking for i a permit to lay their tracks Motive for Permit. The motive assigned for asking a permit to lay their tracks immediately is for the benefit of the Chicago, Lake Shore & South Bend railway company who will use the K. & E. tracks to Kensington and then on down town via the Illinois Central. The Chicago. Lake Shore & South Bend railway company are anxious to get their line into Chi cago as soon as possible and to do this they must use the K. & E. road is owned by the Illinois Central and the officials of one road act in the same capacity with the other. According to theordlnance that has ben prepared by the railroads' attor neys tme company gets everything and the residents of the Eight and Thirty third wards get nothing. This ordi nance was made public by Alderman Bhil of the Thirty-third ward and Al dfrman P. H. Moynihan of the Eight. The citizens and the improvement asso ciations immediately got together and called an indignation meeting which was held down town In the Arcade build ing, and was attended by a large num ber of progressive residents of both wards. The meeting resulted in res olutions being drawn up to the effect that the Kensington and Eastern should not be give given a temporary or any other permit to lay their tracks until the corporation decided to grant the taxpayers a few concessions, which are as follows: What Is Wanted, 1. Build an adequate depot at Ken sington. 2. Dedicate Front street as a public thoroughfare, giving residents privelege on the street. 3. Install gates and gatemen at One Hundred and Thirteenth street. 4. Improve the different Illinois Cen tral crossings, the same as other roads, by paving them with brick Instead of slag or cinders. 5. Remove all the unsightly coal sheds in and about the company's prop erty. . The positive assurance that all lnterurban cars on the Chicago, Lake Shore & South Bend line will stop at Kensington. After 10 Cent Fare. Alderman Moynihan, who is at the head of the transportation committee. will try and make the officials of the Illinois Central meet the requests of the South Chicago patrons for a ten cent fare to and from down town. Being at the head of the transporta tion committee the other members will abide by Moynihan's desires In the mat ter and unless the Illinois Central meets his demands the prospects look pretty poor for the company getting the temporary permit for laying their tracks. The matter of a 10 cent fare to and from Chicago has bren advocated time and again by the South Chicago Busi ness Men 3 association and the Chelten ham Improvement association was the last to take up the 10 cent fare prop osition out nothing tuither than pre senting their demands to the officials of the company was done. Now Alder man Moynihan comes forward with hi. scheme, which, it is believed, will com pel the corporation to meet the tax payer's requests. FIRE LOSSES OF A DAY.
