Nervousness

ls really only another name for impure
blood, for no person is weak and ner-
vous whose blood is perfectly pure.
When the blood is full of the germs
of disease, and lacking in the red cor
puscles which give it vitality, when it
fails to properly nourish the organs
and tissues of the body, what can you
expect but that tired feeling and ner-
vousness?
OF course Scrofula, Salt Rheum,
Catarrh and Rheumatism are uni
versally recognized as blood diseases,
for which Hoods Sarsaparilla, as the
best blood purifier, is everywhere
acknowled the greatest remedy.
Therefore, as Hoods Sarsaparilla
cures all blood diseases, it is the best
remedy for that condition of the blood
which causes Nervousness.
It is false idea to think you are
curing your nervousness when you are
taking preparation which only quiets
yournervesl tits like trying to drown
your sorrows in the flowing bowl.
They are sure to return, te,a,fold aoorse.
We wish to make most impressive,
then, this truism:
You cannot purify your blood by
DEADENING or QUIETING your nerves
with opiate, narcotic or nerve COM
pounds. If you take such articles
you are only THRILLING with your
troubles. There is SURE to be REAo-
TIoN which will leave you worse than
you were before.
Why not then, take the true course,
follow the bee-line to the state Of
health, purify your blood and cure
your nervousness by taking

I would like to make suggestion
through your paper and it is this: That
our citizens owning driving horses should
exercise them during the next two
months through Deering and Westbrook,
that they may get acquainted with the
electric car service. Doing this may save
many from danger when the electric cars

Moody Choir Excursion.

The Moody choir, to the number of about
500, enjoyed a days outing at Bay Ridge
Yesterday. A great number of Balti-
moreans were present to hear the concert
Of this great aggregation and none of them
went away disappointed. 1t is estimated
that nearly 5000 people were at Bay Ridge
yesterday, and the many attractions at
that place were kept busy the whole day
long answering the demands made upon
them for pleasure.
The feature of the occasion. however
was the concert by the choir. which was
scheduled to take place at 1:3O o'clock
Only about 800 Of the singers were able to
get on the stage. but they made up for the
absence of the rest by the vigor and
strength with which they sang the various
selections. special train leaving Bay
Ridge at pm. brought the excursionists
back to the city and the last social event
of the Moody choir for this season was
over. An accident to a little boy named
John Hagan was the only thing tina. oc-
Cured to mar the pleasure of the day. He
was thrown from a horse which he was
riding and the bones in his right forearm
were broken. DIR. Peck attended the lad
however, and he was able 20 stay and hear
the concert which. he said. was the only
thing he had come to Bay Ridge for.
The arrangements were in charge of the

Tbs Hong Kong Plague.

The United States consul at Foo Chow.
China, reports the appearance of the Hong
Kong plague at that place. He says it is
already established as an epidemic, but
that so far it is confined to the city proper.
He adds:
There is no question or doubt about the
epidemic in the city being Identical with
that which last year caused such mortality
in Hong Kong and in Canton and other
southern Chinese ports. The symptoms at
tending it's appearance and progress unmis-
takably stamp it as the plague: and in the
infected districts within the city the rats
are dying in great numbers. just as has
been the invariable rule wherever the
plague has shown itself in the past
I'm a city like Foo Chow it is impossible
to institute any sort of sanitary measures
to prevent the spread of contagious dis
eases, or even to mitigate the suffering of
the victims. So, unless the present eps-
demic dies out of its own accord, there is
every prospect that misery and death will
come to thousands of the one and a half
millions Of people living in the city proper
and its immediate suburbs"

POUND MONEY MAY BE USED.
Controller Bowler Rules on q Dis.
trict Question.


Judge Bowler, controller of the treasury,
has informed the Commissioners Of the
District that they are authorized to use the
proceeds of the sales of animals found
running at large in the District for sani-
tary purposes.
Among the ordinances of the late board
of health of the District of Columbia, legal
lied by the District appropriation act of
August T. 1894. was an ordinance adopted
May 10, 1871, ''to prevent domestic animals
from running at large within the cities OF
Washington and Georgetown" 1t was pro-
vided by the ordinance that the proceeds of
the sale of animals seized hereunder
should be turned over to the treasurer Of
the board.
Section of the ordinance provided as
follows: That all moneys received by said
treasurer from the sale of animals, as
aforesaid, shall, if demanded by the owner
of such animals. at any time within one
year from the sale thereof, upon satisfac-
tory proof that such claimant was the
owner of such animal Sold as aforesaid.
after deduction of charges and expenses,
as hereinafter specified. of taking up. i'm
pounding or keeping such animals, be paid
to said claimant; otherwise said moneys
shall be used by this board for sanitary
purposes within and for the benefit Of the
District of Columbia
The Controllers Opinion.
The District Commissioners wrote to tho
controller of the treasury in regard to the
use of this fund. They said that the health
officer states that the practice has been to
cover into the treasury the moneys collect
ed under this ordinance, and not to use
them for the sanitary purposes specified.
He asked, however. in view of the man.
datory language contained in the ordi-
nance whether the fund should not be
used for the sanitary purposes of the Dis
trict..
After reviewing the legislation on the
subject, Controller Bowler says:
Section of the ordinance Of May 10,
1871, provided for the use OF moneys col
| lected in acco4 dance with the provisions of
said ordinance and appropriated said
moneys for the purposes therein indicated.
The clause in the act of August 7, 1894,
legaliZes said ordinances and provides that
the same are hereby declared to have the
Of Columbia as II enacted by Congress in
the first instance That language must,
when taken in connection with the provi-
sions of section of the ordinance Of May
10, 1871 be deemed an indefinite appro-
priation of the moneys collected under the
poses therein provided. In order, there
fore, to carry out the law, which requires
the money to be deposited in the treasury
and only to be drawn out therefrom by
requisition. specifying the appropriation
upon which the same Is drawn, 1t will be
| necessary to deposit the gross proceeds of
all moneys collected under the provisions
of said ordinance with the treasurer of the
United States, under the head of a fund to
be known as the sanitary fund.-. upon

TAX ON TELEGRAPH COMPANIES.
A Case to Test the COnstftutiOnality
of State Law.

of State Law.
The case Of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company against the various county
auditors and county treasurers Of the state
of Indiana has been filed in the United
States Supreme Court for docketing. 1t
comes from the supreme court Of Indiana
on a motion for a writ of error.
The case involves the oonstitutionality Of
the state law of 1929 providing for ex-
ira tax on telegraph, telephone, 81 ing
car and express companies. The " ern
Union Company alleges that the law did
not pass the state senate until after :he
expiration of the constitutional limit Of
the time of it's session. ann that the valua-
ton Of its property as ID basis for state
taxes as fixed by the state board was ex-
orbitant. amounting Ito $S97 per mile, or
total of S2.291, 652 for the entire state, ex-
elusive of real estate. machinery, ETC.. sub
ject to local taxation. The company as
serts that s6S6l26 would be fair valua-
ton. 1t appears that the valuation fixed
by the state board wasG made uron the
basis of the New York quotation OF West
ern Union stock. which. the company cen
tends, was in all respects unfair and in
equitable The company asks to have the
county officers enjoined from the eXecu-
ton of the law.

A Free Library for Washington

Allow me to congratulate The Star on
it's editorial of yesterday on the free IL
brary. The people of the District certainly
ought to have a library supported by the
taxpayers as every village in the eastern

gressionai Library the other day l could
not help think that that library should be
made an absolutely free library. I hope The
Star will go on in its efforts until we have

tenn, and the books selected are chiefly
technical or else utterly without knowledge

Another Abcrtive Attempt.

Are democrats as old in party faith on
other issues besides silver as Messrs Har-
ris. J0es and Turpie willing and ready to
go that far for silver? And if they are,
have they any right to expect to use the
name democrat for such an organization
Would it be the proper name with which
to conjure in the hunt for new recruits in
the republican and populist camps? Hard
ly, 1t is thought. And for this and other
reasons the prediction is made that the
Washington meeting will but register an
other abortive effort on the part of the sill
yer men either to stay the tide of sound
money within the old party ranks. or form
rev party ranks for that purpose. The
hope however, is that the meeting may he
well attended, so that by being national
in scope. and failing of its real purpose, an
end may be put to all schemes of that ma
ture

This is the record up to date. It seems
to promise vely little for silver in either of
the two old parties as parties. The repub-
lican organization is dead set against free
coinage all along the line The silver hope
there is about as radiant as tallow dip.
And the democratic organization is fast
falling under sound money influences. The
progress made there within the past two
months is remarkable in extent, and If
continued promises a sure thing for sound
money next year.

Call Of Senators Harris, Jones and
Turpie in Silver's Interest.
UNION OF west and SOUTH THEIR hope
The Record Up to Date Not
Encouraging for That.
P r OB ABLE FAIL URF

The proposition laid down by Senators
Harris. Jones and Turpie in their call for
a conference of the friends of silver to
meet here in August is not as clear as
might be. and its ambiguity is accepted as
arguing the great difficulty of the situation.
They want the fight for silver made within
the ranks of the democratic party, and yet
they think it inadvisable to invoke the aid
Of the regular party machinery in the mat
ter of a conference. They are party men,
are insisting that the democracy is In favor
Of free coinage and should at this time so
declare. but they recommend that this
action be brought about by meeting at
which no representative shall hold a COM
mission from any party source whatever.
The friends of silver are simply asked to
meet here, express their Individual views
adopt resolutions embodying those views,
and then adjourn. But how will that COM
nit the democratic party?
Oi.ly Hope of silver.
Obviously. as some people think. this
meeting can have no other purpose-cer-
tainly no other result-than to show the
full possibilities of the silver cause by a
union of the south and west. That is the
only hope of silver. On every other line the
cause Is losing right along. The silver men
in the republican party threatened dem a.
slratlon at SieVeiano last week, put tailed
to make it. When the tipae came to act
they dreaded the effect of bringing the size

under leadership of exceptional advantage.
Mr.. Blackburn was unable to secure
mere committeemans place in the demo-
cratic state convention from his own con-
gressional district. Another. and probably
as distinct, defeat is impending in Ohio.
Senator Brice has had his own date fixed
for the holding of the state convention, and
will himself preside. If that doesn't mean
another expression against free coinage it
would appear to mean nothing. Then there
are the demands for Mr.. Carlisle from all
over the country, from democratic sources
pure and simple. and. If they mean any
thing, 1t Is that, at least, the democracy
eager to have the sound money side pre-
scented by its ablest democratic representa-
