OUR MARKETs-Since the system of inspect
Ing food has been put into practice, particularly
during the past few months, there has been
perceptible improvement In the quality of all
products in the markets exposed for SALE and
there seems to be spirit among the dealers to
emulate each other In making the best show
The number Of dealers attending our markets,
particularly on Saturdays, has been unusually
large this season, and consequently the work OF
the inspectors has more than doubled, but by
commencing early they manage to get through
With 1t. Formerly 1t was no uncommon thing
to condemn as unfit for use over hundred
pounds Of meat at one market, but the quantity
has now dwindled down to a few pounds and
there have been several days this season when
not single pound OF meat was condemned.
TION held its meeting yesterday afternoon on
9Th street, and authorized the executive COM
m1ttee TO wait upon General HuntOn to have a
clause inserted In the new code of District laws
10 protect the markets. A petition OF dealers
VII! De presented by the same committee to the
District commissioners, asking 1.-The abolish.
ment OF unlawful traffic by middle men and
huckSters within one square OF the Washington
Market. There are at the present time hun
dreds OF men and women nOn-producers Who
are buying and selling produce outside and
around said market free Of license, tax or rer-
tai, contrary to law, contrary to Justice. Tue
eVll has recently grown to such an extent that
the dealers In the markets, who are subjected
to an enormous rental, find themselves IVel
to you for protection. The business inside the
consequence we find ourselves unable to meet
our expenses. We do not object to the selling
by those who grow or manufacture their goods
We claim the existence Of law In this District
prohibiting the same; aside from that we plead
for fairness. We claim protection from you,
the ruling power OF the District. For simple
justice we shall continue to pray. We hope and
expect that you Will take steps at an early day
toward suppressfng this great evll.''

THE WoMEN's PHYSIOLOGICAL SOCIETY met
yesterday, at 200 Pennsylvania avenue south
east, and Dr.. Abel read paper upon "Ca-
tarrh." The common definition of catarrh is
Inflammation OF the mucous membrane OF the
sages in the body, that have a mucous lining.
Chronic catarrh rr"ceeds from q depraved con-
dition OF the b.Cr generally, from hereditary

eradicated or lived down. 1t Is most Obstt-
nate disease, and often most offensive one.
This Is because it is seldom attended to In sea-

mind, predisposes one to take cold. A great
deal OF bad air Is inhaled unconscously in sleep,
predisposlng the system TO unhealthy inll-
ences. A robust nature does not succumb to
depressing maladies like weak one, because
its repellant powers are stronger. Nature rises
up at once against anything that 1nterferes

ration. The resulting contest causes INF ANNA
