THE CAUSE OF LA GRIPPE.

Digestion.

Digestion.
Careful observation in many cases of La
Grippe extending over several years have
gradually developed the fact that il is very
generally caused from dietetic errors.
in other words, during the prevalence of
la Grippe, persons VINO suffer frCm inGigeS-
ton or stomach troubles are almost iD-
variably victims of tie epidemic.
This can lie readily understood when you
remember that tie germs OF any disease
cannot gain foothoid in tire system Of a
man T wOman who is blessed with perfect
digestion, because perfect digestion means
perfect health, and such persons can bid de-
fiance TO LII Grippe or TO any Other prevail
ing epidemic.
For this reason physicians have recently
introduced into their practice the new
preparation known as StUaTtS dyspepsia
Tablets us an almost certain preventive of
Ia Grippe, as this remedy by giving perfect
digestion and assimilation OF the food
so fortilics the system against disease that
all danger from this epidemic is reduced

The bill desired 10y President Grswold OF
the AnacoStia street road, apparently pro-
viding for change of motive power on the
Anacostia ana Washington line, was intro
duced in the Senate yesterday by Mr..
Mcmillan. 1t was referred to the District
Comm ittee.
An important provision OF the bill is
that for the purchase by the Anacostia
Company OF ang street ear line it may
connect with or cross.
An equally important omission is that
of any alIuSion TO free transfers with the
Capital Traction Company. In the other
two bills recently offered looking 10 rapid
transit for Anacostia Congress Heights and
the territory along Good Hope road, sec
tionS ha aveappc2red making connection with
the Capital Traction Il feature, and direct
ing that free transfers must be made be-
tween each line ani the Pennsylvania
avenue system good over ali parts OF the
lines exchanging traffic
RUMoRS OF A COMBINE.
1t will be remembered that the Wash
ingtoD and Georgetown Company was not
permitted to buy the Rock Greek road,
but the Rock Creek line bought the Wash
ington and Georgetown, and a change OF
name gave the city the Capital Traction
Company. Also there has been rumor
for a year past that the Washington and
Georgetown would buy the Anacostia road.
Rumor had it at one time that the
purchase had actually been made. The
Anacostia road crosses the Washington and
Georgetown, or Capital Traction line, at
Eighth aud q southeast ard at Ninth and
PcnnS ylyania avenue. II has not had the
money TO purchase that line, but trade
similar to that between the w. and u.
and the Rock Greek road could be made.
The new bin provides for a change of
name like tlat made when those two COM
panies consolidated.
Furthermore the AnaCostia road connects
withEoth TIE Belt Line andthe Metropolitan
aud this suggests a deal more extensive
than any ever considered. This would
put under orc control all the street car
ines in tie cily except the Columbia.
The provision for tEe Increase OF capital
stock OF tie AnacCstia road leaves sc me
doubt whether tic total could be made
sufficiently large to inolude the property
OF one OF more CT the other lines.
AS TO RAPID TRANSIT.
The Other provisions Of tic bill give the
AEacostia two gears within which to
Introduce modcTn motive power. from
the Navy Yard bridge 10 Eleventh and g
streets northwest. If the change should
not have then been mate it become :
obligatory upon the company to put in an
underground electric system. This sys-
tenn must also replace horses on The road
cyond the river and on it's branches from
time TO time as Tie public service may
demand.
ALSO the company is allowed 10 extend
its lines along Eleventh street east to
Florida avenue; From Seventeenth aud
! r southeast 10 the District line, ard around
to connect with an extension from the
intersection OF Harrison and Monroe
streets out Good Hope road to Overlook
Inn.
Another extension along Nichols ave
| nue. by the Government Hospital to Congress
/ Heights and the Gieshoro School building.
A prerequisite TO the purchase or any
| other line that uses horses is the substi
! tuition OF modern motive power.

L. OF NJ. ACCEPTS THE RULES.
But the Ann Arbor University Makes
Some Exceptions.

Ann Arbor, Mich, March 26.-The board
OF control OF athletics OF the University OF
Michigan announces today its acceptance of
the rules adopted by the Western conference
at Chicago, governing intercollegiate ath-
letics, but makes two important exceptions.
First is a refusal TO acqucsce in the rule
requiring q student from one college TO
have been in another university six months
before he can be q member of an athletic
team OF the second university. The board
says that if the rules gainst professionalism
are strictly enforced such rules are un-
necessary and prevents bona-fiie students
participating in athletics if they change
from one university to another.
The second exception is in the rule barring
after October, all who have ever coached
for money. The board here accepts the
rule in general, but refuses TO apply it for
the disqualification of those now in the
university who have made money byseOa CHI
ing teams before December l last.
