The Best Family Catbartic.

For a general home medicine Hoods
Pills are unequaIled. They were pre-
pared for family use and they have been
found entirely satisfactory, wherever
they have been used. Their sale has
gradually extended until today the de.
mand for them leads the trade to look
upon Hoods Pills as "the coming pill"
They relieve and cure so many troubles
that they are really a whole medicine
chest. They are mild and yet efficient.

FARMING CITY LOTS.
The Plan to Help the Poor to Help
Themselves.

The Plan TO Help the Poor TO Help
Themselves.
AS has already been stated, the plan CT
allowing the poor of the city TO use such
vacant lots as can be obtained for planting
potatoes end other vegetables is to be fol-
lowed again during the coming summer
under the supervision of a committee Of
the board of trade.
Already several persons have offered the
use of vacant lots during the season. and
books have been opened at the Office of the
Associated Charities, S11 G street where
Mr.. J. F. Van Arsdale is in attendan ce
every day from Q to II o'clock to make as
signments. Owing to the lack of funds at
the disposal of the committee. only beans
will be furnished for seed this year, but the
occupants of the different patches will be
permitted to plant whatever they choose. 1t
was the experience last year that beans
brought the largest returns for the amount
invested.
Mr.. F. L. Moore. the chairman of the
committee, has SO far received but $40 to-
ward the support of the scheme, and as q
considerable sum is needed to put the plan
into practical operation he has issued an
appeal for contributions from those who
believe in helping the poor to help them
selves.

For the purpose Of finding out how the
residents and property owners in the vi

Donnely, SIS 14th street, stood regarding
the issuance Of wholesale liquor license
there. the excise board inspector of licenses
was recently directed to make canvass of
the locality and report to the board. His
report was submitted today. He enumerates
the DIRECTORS to the license, and ends his
report follows:
"AN the other owners, residents and per-
sons doing business on the two streets
named Oath street between H and I and
between 14th and 18th streets northwest
favor the granting of the license for the
reason that Mr.. Donnelly's store Is con-
Quoted in first-class style; that there are
10 objectionable features about 1t, and the
objection to him Is confined to a very small
number of persons who have been perse-
cutting him for a number of years. As a
result of my investigation. 1 am of the
opinion that very large majority of the
owners, residents and business men in the
immediate vicinity of Mr.. Donnelly's place
of business favor the granting to him OF
the license applied for"

Belt Railway Extensions Adversely
Reported.


House bill 1915 to amend the charter Of
the Belt Line Railway Company, has been
adversely reported by the Commissioners
The principal features of the hill are en-
tensions of the Belt line into lie Droit
Park subdivision. through Mt. Pleasant
and south and east on Water and P streets
south, for the abandonment of certain por-
tons of its existing tracks and for the is
sue of stock or bonds to construct or equip
the extensions in amount and kind. accord
ing to decision of the majority in value
of the stock holders.
The Commissioners had previously con-
sidered with care different routes for the
first two extensions named and recon-
menGed certain routes in their report and
bill submitted March II. These routes are
different from the ones named in bill
1915. part of which latter routes are re-
garded as wholly inadvisable for the pub
lie interest. The Commissioners ask the
privilege Of conference with the District
committee in order to explain with the aid
of maps their views upon the proposed
northern extension of the Belt line.
The extension south on Wafer street and
east on street to Delaware avenue and
the abandonment of tracks with the con-
dtions named In the bill 1915, they
state, appear permissible.
The Eighteenth Street Extension.
Relative to the proposed amendment to the
charter Of the Metropolitan Railroad COM
pany, as defined in House bill 1904. the
Commissioners say that the bill provides
for the extension Of the road from the
northern end of Connecticut avenue, north
erly on Columbia road to 18th street; the
repeal of that part of the act of 1894, rela-
tive to the penalty for default in complet-
ing its underground electric roads, and the
extension of time for the completion OF its
east and west line for a period of ninety
days. The proposed extension on Columbia
road, the Commissioners say, conforms in
a small part only to the recommendation
OF the Commissioners concerning the ex-
tensions Of certain street railways in the
District. The Commissioners think the
Metropolitan railroad should be extended
north Of 18th street when any extension is
made and at least to Howard avenue for
! the purpose of serving the territory be-
tween 14th street and Rock creek, and for
furnishing transportation to the Geological
Park, but that double track should not
be allowed on Columbia road north of Ka-
| lorama avenue. The Commissioners SUBJ
| nit substitute BILL and ask for a confer
| ence with the District committee on the
| subject.
