ANOTHER WOODEN ROOF
Engraving Bureau Additions Top
Floor a Fire Trap.
JOIsTS AND COVER OF PINE
Five Hundred Employees and Much
Costly Machinery VIII Be Exposed
to the Danger of ConfIagrat ton.
First Four Stories Are Fire-Proof
and Then Begins the Wood.

The new postoffice building is not the
only Federal structure now in course OF
construction in Washington which is topped
off with a probable charnel house.
There is another, and it is not many
squares from the postoffice. 1t is the
new, five-story addition to the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing. Nearly all the
floors are laid and the contractors are
putting on a roof OF the dryest kind of dry
Georgia pine, and ceiling joists of the
same tnfiamable material. These ceiling
joists are by IL inches, supported by
girders 6 by 12.
THREA TENS EMP LOVES.
The top floor IL is said, will be occupied
by about 800 employees, and IL is easy to
be seen that, with floor of dry wood
and roof overhead OF the same material,
they would, In the event of fire, have
poor chance TO escape with their lives.
| The old building, which adjoinS the new,
is absolutely fireproof except the doors
and sashes 1t is wonder to practical
builders that the Secretary of the Treas
| ury has not compelled the erection of Il
flreproof structure from cellar to garret.
we'll known builder Of this city stood
on the sidewalk in front OF the Bureau Of
Engraving and Printing yesterday after
noon discussing with The Times the odd
arrangement OF making the first four
! floors fireproof and the fifth a tinder box
| He said:
| VIEWS OF A BUILDER.
AZ am astonished that Mr.. Carlisle and
| his supervising architect have not stepped
| in before this aud ordered a new iron roof.
| | Will say for the contractor that he is
| carrying out TO the letter the specifications
| under which he obtained the contract. He
| Is in nowise to blame.
But l do insist that the authorities
should, from business, if not an econom-
| lcal standpoint, change the order of things.
| trust that Congress Will take action on
| this matter as was done in the case of the
| postoffice. From every consideration of
| economy alone the Bureau Cf Engra wing
! and Printing should be fireproof, as the
| costliest kind of machinery Will be stored
in that building when 1t is completed"

FOOD STRENGTH.
It Comes from the Right Food Prop
 erly Digested.

Food strength is natural strength. It is new strength 1; created strength That Is, it Is not stimulation.
 The real strength of your body Is your constitutional strength, your re- serve strength. It Is the result Of eat ing proper food and digesting 1t.
 Eating food does no good at all rather harm,--unless 1t is digested. So that everything narrows itself down to one proposition How is your diges- ton ?
 One person in three of us have indi- gestion in some form or another. It is not really a disease, bat a condition a condition which may become serious.
 We all wish to be strong, and we might all become so if we digested our food. The loss of your strength is a serious matter. It may be the begin- ming of a. dangerous disease. It may mean that you cannot go on with your work.
 Shaker Digestive Cordial is an aid to digestion. It is a strength maker. It makes your food nourish you. It makes you strong. It relieves at once all the symptoms of acute dyspepsia, tones up the system and creates f1esh energy and strength. Taken regularly it will permanently cure indigestion and make the weak, thin, irritable, nervous dys- peptic strong, fat, hearty and well again.
 A ten cent bottle will show you what it will do.
 Sold by druggists at 10, 25, 50 cents and $1.00 bottle.

 The Consolidated road has made a proposition for the extension for eight years at the same rate per cent. of the New Haven and Northampton rail- road per cent. bonds, due next July. They amount to $700,000, of which the New Haven company holds a considera- ble amount. AS they are convertible into stock of the Northampton com- pany and the New Haven company now owns nearly all the shares of that cor poration, the motive of extension is un- derstood to be the desire to avoid any future complications by a new stock in- crease through conversion.
