Fees That Belong to the District.

reeS Tnat belong TO the D1str1ct.
Speaking of the division of fees paid by
plumbers and others, Capt. Derby, in his
annual report, says:
Under the act Of April %, 1892, however.
the fees authorized are to be paid to the
collector of taxes of the District Of Column
bia, and by him deposited in the Treasury
Of the United States, one-haf to the credit
of the United States and one-half to the
credit of the District of Columbia
There appears to be no reason why one
half Of these revenues should be paid to the
United States; no more reason than that
the District should pay the United States
one-half of its other revenues. 1t is par
ticularly inequitable in this case, as the
water fund, which is managed separately
from the other revenues of the District,
now loses it's entire share of the revenue
Of the permit Office in spite of the fact that
most of the fees collected are for water
department permits. 1t is believed that
this provision of the act of April %, 1892,
was inserted through some misunderstood
ing of the facts. and 1 would recommend
that the necessary legislation be secured
to permit the crediting' of the revenue of
the permit Office to the general revenue of
the District of Columbia, and to the water
fund as here tofore. The revenue for the
last fiscal year amounted to $2,214."

Best Way of Avoiding 1t Revealed.
'sThe past summer and early fall have been
periods Of worry, Of care and exhausted vitality
caused by the strains incident to business
The speaker was q prominent man. Continu-
ing. he said: This has naturally caused men
to become rundown. nerveless and really unable
to properly attend to business. But this is not
all. Mans worries become a womans worries
because Of her superior intuitive powers and SYM
patty with everything that concerns her husband.
her brothers or her lover. All these things cause
great exhaustion, and It Is not surprising that
physicians report a state OF weakness which has
not been known before for years.
1T Is true that our financial troubles largely
over, but the system needs building up to the con-
dition and tone OF six months ago. 1t Is evident
that this can only be done by the careful and
systematic use of some pure, health imparting.
life-giving stimulant, and this can be found only
In that grand preparation which has stood the
test Of a score Of years. Dufy's Pure Malt
Whiskey."
The above words true, and they should be
carefully considered by all. Nothing has ever
equaled this pure medicinal whiskey for build
Ing up and restoring the health, wasted strength
and vitality. Do not for a moment consider 1t
like ordinary WHISTLES. and do not be deceived
by any dealer who may tell you 1t has no
equal. and is worthy of the great popularity which
1t possesses.
