No New Dry Docks.

The provision in the naval appropria ton
bill for three new dry docks, to be built at
Algiers, La; Mare Island. Cal, and Ports
mouth, N. H., was reconsidered yesterday
by the naval affairs committee Of the
House. A n otion to drop these projects for
time ives made and carried by de-
cisive vote Of Z to 4. The reason for this
step Is mainly found in the condition Of the
treasury. which. the republicans believe,
docs not justify these expenditures at this
time.
1t was also decided to have one of the
four new battle ships built on the Pacific
and one of the torpedo boats; another of
the fifteen to be constructed on the Gulf
OF Mexico and smother In the Mississippi
river. The usual proviso will be made,
however, that the cost shall not be ex-
cessive, and in case 1t is the President may
have these vessels constructed elsewhere
than, tae points Damed. The five largest
torpedo boats, it was decided, must attain
speed of twenty-five knots an hour, while
the others must be Of the greatest possible
speed, no limit being fixed The commit
tee has accepted an invitation to witness
the launching Of the Iowa in Philadelphia

LIVER CL0GGING.
WhenYour Stomach Clogs Your
Liver See to Your Digestion.

Not one person In q thousand knows that the
cause Of bliousncss is the cioSging Of the liver ny
the poisons Of indigestion. Nor that the only
proper cure for II is q tonic to aid the stomach.
But modern medicine declares the truth OF It.
And the Shakers have proved It by the wonderful
success Of their Shaker Digestive Cordial.
One Of the most important Of the liver is to
arrest and destroy all poiscns which try to find
their way into the blood. When It's clogged IL
can't do this.
Cndgested food ferments and putrefes I'm the
stomach, and the poisons of putrefaction clog and
paralyze the liver, after which they find their
way into the blood
Here Is the true explanation Of all the distress
ing disorders and complications caused by irdges-
tiOn.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is the only tonic
dial which aids the stomach in n natural way to
digest its food by this noans, IL cures indiges-
tiOn, restores the liver snd frees the body from

AStudy of Faces,

No matter where you go, will show
you how many, many people ought
10 be taking Carlsbad Sprudel Salts.
There's the thin, peaked face that
tells of perverted nutrition. There's
the fat, puffy face of flatulent obesity.
There's the otherwise pretty face
that's marred by skin disorders and
eruptions; the yellow, haggard face
of the dyspeptic; the dull, drawn
faces of sufferers from stomach and
liver and kidney troubles.
All these people need the Carlsbad
Sprudel Salt. 1t goes to the root OF
the whole matter. 1t purifies the
blood, dissolves distractions, clears
the system, and cures permanently,
in natural way, every arrangement
of the stomach, bowels, liver and kid
neys. Beware of the many limitations

The following memorial to Congress was

with a view Of furnishing additional
facts in support Of the petition Of the citi-
Gems of Anacostia and its environments for

to show that the prayers Of the citizens

The car service now furnished the citi-

carded dbob-tail-one-hoFse-no-c ears

"Anacostia has outgrown its railway IA

the antiQuated means of getting to and
from the suburb. The mere sight, they
