THE APPROPRIATION BILL.
The District Measure Nearly Com-

The District Measure Nearly Coui-
pleted by Senate subcommittee.
The Senate subcommittee of the Appro-
priations Committee, which has been con
siderng the District appropriation bill,
has nearly completed its labors. The
members put in an exceedingly busy day
yesterday, and nearly the entire sub
committee was present from about 1920
6. m. to 6 p. m, barring the time spent
atluncheon. Extensiveprogress vas made
in the compilation of the bill as it will
go to the full committee, and it is proba
BILE that the bill viii reach the Appropria-
tions committee by Friday at the longest.
The subcommittee was aided yesterday
by the experience of District Auditor Petty.
Among other matt ers that havepractically
been agree to is the proposition OF
Senator Mcmillan for the reopening aud
completion of the work on the Washington
acqueduct. This item carries something
over 500, 600.
No hearings were had yesterday al
though many citizens of the District called
to present various matters to the notice
OF the committee. Senator Teller, chair
man of the subcommittee, consented to
receive a few written statements con

some comment has been occaSioned Ivy
tie fact that the subo ommittee has shown
no evidence of desire to hear direct
fIom the District Commissioners on any
,iS
s,oners displayed any eagerness TO be sum
| mcned before the committee. This is due
! partly 10 the fact that the time for
| consideration and action is limited but
more particularly TO the controversy over
! electric lighting, which led TO somewhat
strained relations between the committee
| and Commissioners.
| The subcommittee felt that the Commits
| sioners exceeded their authority in some
| of the privileges granted the Potomac
! company under one paragraph of the bill
appropriating the money for the ex-
penses of the District during the current
! year. The majority OF the committee
! think the Commissioners violated dis
| tinct understanding between the parties
| when they permitted the Potomac company
! To cross Rock creek and come eastward
| with its conduits There is no doubt that
so far as possible the committee will an
! dertake 10 cure what it regards as the
| error OF the Commissioners. Under the de
! Cision OF the courts it cannot insert pro-
vision tearing up the cDnduits now laid
| by the Potomac company, for the conrtS
| have held they were laid according to eX-
isting law. But it co9ld easily fail to ap'
prOpriate money for contracts with the
| Potomac company, and postpone to other
years any possible use Of the Potomac

or difficulty since. This is in the face
of the fact that had suffered from stom-

was pronounced incurable by the DOCTORS
james Newmcstes, Eau Claire, Wis, says:
Two 5o-cent packages ofStuarts S Dyspep-
sja Tablets did me more good than any
remedy I had ever before tried. They hit
the spot with me and j once more have
an appetite and can at what l please
without fear of distress and bloating after

Dr. HariandSon relates the case OF Miss
Helen Sholes, Of Nashville, who was cured
of dyspepsia and gained eighteen pounds
in weight after suffering from stomach
trouble for eight years. The doctor uses
them in all stomach troubles because they
are not a secret patent medicine, but con-

valuable digestiycs, which digest the foo Il

The great number of people in this
community and throughout the country,
many hundreds OF thousands in all, who
are wasting away and dying with con-
sumption, have been made the subject OF
special meetings of the health boards OF
the different cities and towns.
When these bodies of learned men say
that something must he done to check the
increasing ravages of the disease, IL is
perfectly safe for the people to lend their
assistance to the efforts of these health
boards The only doctors who object to
the teaching and warning OF the boards OF
health are those who think they have q
cure for consumption.
Doctor Mccoy has from time to time told
people that he has no cure for consumption
in it's latter stages, and right now he is
willing and anxious to assist these health
boards in preventing the development Of
this disease

TRUTH ABOUT THE
PASSING OF CATARRH
INTO CONSUMPTION.

From Doctor McCOy's Monograph on the
Extension or CatarrI To the Lungs-)
When CataTrh has existed in the head and
upper parts of the throat for any length OF
time, the patient living in a district where
people are subject 10 catarrhal affections,
and the disease has been left incurred, the
Catarrh almost invariably extends from the
Throat, down the windpipe and thence into
the Bronchial Tubes These tubes convey the
air into tie different parts OF the Lungs
As a result or the extension OF the disease
the Bronchial Tubes become affected from
the swelling, and the nluCus that is poured
out by the Catarrh, together with the
swelling, sometimes plugs these tubes up
so that air cannot pass freely through
them nc should. ShOrtncSS OF breath fol-
lows, and one so affected breathes with
difficulty. In other cases there are sounds
of cracking and wheeling inside the chest
At t.is period of the extension of the dis
ease the breathing is usually more rapid
than 1t should be. There are frequently
felt hot fluShes over the body.
When Catarrh Extends To the Lungs.
The pain which accompanies this condi-
tiOn Is OF a dull Character, felt IN the chest
behind the breast bone, or else II is pres
ent under the shOulder-blade- The pain
may come ana go, last few days, and then
he absent for several others. The cough
that occurs at this time is dry. comes on
dcter. AMI j usually the most troublesome
in the morning upon rising, or on going 70
bed at night This peculiar character OF
the Cough is often the FIRST evidence that
Catarrhal disease is extending into the
lungs. At first there may be nothing
brought up by the Cough. then there viii
De a little tough, sticky mucIS raised,
which the patieIJ finds great difficulty
in bringing up Sometimes there are fits
OF coughing so violent, brought on by the
efforts TO u>lodge the tough uucUs, as To
cause vomiting. Later uu the muCuS that
is raised may be found TO contain par
ucies OF yellow matter, ami This proves
that the smaller lung tureS are beginning
to be involved by the disease
The Most Serious symptoms.
At this stage Of the trouble. in some
cases, there Will be found streaks OF
blood mixed with the mucuS that Is
expelled by the cough In q certain mum
teT Of cases. at this stage OF the dis
ease, the one afflicted becomes pale and
has considerable fever every afternoon,
While in certain other cases a great deal
OF mucuS may be raised ct hawked up
before auy cough is present. In certain
other cases small masses Of cheesy-iike
substances are spit up, which, when
pressed -hsJwcen tue fingers emit very
unpleasant 0dOr. Tits last Is very Sc

In some cases CataTTh Will extend from

tor Mccoy says:
Here Is the Proof.

To show what Can be done In the way
of preventing consumption, nothing is so
convincing as this: Among the hosts that
Doctor McCoy every year treats, scarcely
a person who has heen under his care
has been known to develop lung disease.
This is proof beyond question that by
curing catarrh the development OF consunp-
ton is prevented.

sYRp,s REPORT.

The Macon News expresses the
opinion that the convict camp report
of Col. Phil G.. Byrd is overdrawn.
This opinion was expressed by THE
TIMES when the report was first made
public. The TIMES based its opinion
of the report on the manner In which
the Glynn county camp is handled
which was so manifestly and clearly
overdone as to indicate the general
sensationalism of the whole report.
The News takes similar view of
the matter. 1t is charitable en- 0ugh to
say, however, that Col. Byrd may have
thought that the end justified the
means, and that the system was 80 in
iquitous in the abstract that it mer-
tied all the dlscredit that a special IN
vestigator could cast upon it in his
official capacity.
However this may be, the sober Sec
ond thought of the people is that the
picture has been very much over
drawn. Instances of severe cruelty
there have been, of course, and most
of these in the private camps, where
the lessees were solely in control, and
had no one over them in authority to
see that the wards of the state were
treated humanely. But, when Col.
Byrd attacks the county Changing
management Cat least, so far as Glynn
county is concerned) he wanders out
where the facts do not sustain him.
The convict lease system is admit
teddy wrong, but judging the rest of
Col. Byrd's report by the Glynn coun-
ty portion of it, it Is largely exagger.
alton, and harmful to the state.
