A Word
About BOraX Soap.

BOraX costs more than
soap. There is no induce
ment, therefore, for soap
makers to use it for profit.
Borax softens the wash
water, and leaves the hands
soft and smooth.
Consequently it is a good
thing in soap.
The so-caIled borax soaps
rarely contain boraX in suffi-
cient quantities to be de
tectcd or beneficial.

CONCORD WHEELS.

For years the late II. A. Ray used our

cray" concord wagon. Everybody
knows of the wearing qualities of these
wagons.
We are still selling Strong's Concord
wheels, aXles, springs, etc, and the
quality is maintained. Every hub of
these Concord wheels is marked "Strong"
to indicate the quality. We are at all
times looking for your trade through
your whcelwright or blacksmith for
these goods. Please ask for StrOng's
Concord wheels if they don't carry them
come to see us direct and get them at
wholesale. Some dealers will tell you
they don't carry our goods, but have
others Just as good. Don't let them put
you of in this way. They simply want
to palm off something cheaper and infer
ior al less cost and at a much higher
profit than possibly they can make on
our goods. Insist on having Concord
wheels, aXles, springs etc, when in want
of goods in this line.

CAPITAL TRACTION co.'s TRACKS.
Matters to Ne Considered Regarding
the Pror0sed Extension.

The bl! introduced in Congress Monday
for the extension of the tracks of the
Capital Traction Company. and published
in full IN The Star, will bring up a very
important question for the consideration
Of the committees on the District of Co.
lumbia in both the Senate and House.
There is no likelihood that the extensions
asked for IN this bill will bc granted until
after a thorough consideration of the rail-
road question in the District of Columbia.
especially as bearing upon the territory
over which it is expected the Capital Trac-
ton Company will eventually extend its
tracks. The people of several sections OF
The city nave been peutonlnG for num-
Der Of years FOR an extension OF th, COM
panyS line into their neighboThoUd. aud
in some cases these sections are so located
that that company is practically the only
one that could be looked upon TO give
them 4 railroad service. All these extern
sioEs, whether asked for by the company
or by the people. Will be considered. with
Il view 10 AN eXteEsion of the lines of The
Capital Traction Company. SO as to ma lIe
that system as complete as the urosy,c-
tive traffic will warrant.
The Capital Traction Company IS anxious
10 get certain extensions. and it may be
required to extend its line over other routes
where there is an active demand for rall-
road facilities, but which the company
might prefer to reserve Tor future years.
I he bill introduced Monday viii go to the
Commissioners in day or two, and after
they have reported on IL il will Ice con-
siGered in committee.
There has been a formal protest made 20
the District Senate committee against al
lowing the capital Traction Comrauy 10
extend its line up e street north from The
present tracks on list street northwest,
on the ground that that street is too mar
row to permit the building Of a double
