The PeriIs of the Suburbs
From the Medical Press \

OF 4 truth black care, in the shape OF some
grim neurosis, sits ever close behind the citv
horseman. The rush and hurry of
the unnatural conditions of environment all tend
to exhaust and sap the nervous constitution.
Perhaps one of the chief, albeit not always the
best, recognized factors in the situation is the
necessity OF rapid and far-reachng transit Ev-
cry year the bulk of city go farther afeld
and each morning and night perform their tedious
pilgrimage to and from the scene of their busy
labors. There can be no doubt that constant
railway travelling of this kind is calculated SOON
or later, to play havoc with the soundest con-
stitution.
While it is of course impossible to lay dawn
any exact rule, it may be stated generally that
no such daily railway journey should be much
over hour in length, space OF time that is far
more than enough to carry the citizen into pure
air and the most sylvan of scenery. Think of the
rattle, the dust, the draughts, the bad lighting,
the extremes of temperature, the jolting, the
constrained attitudes, the draggle- tailed discom-
fort of the average railway carriage to a man
already exhausted with mental worry, especially
if he has slept badly and scamped his meals.
Let the country-dwelling citizen get his physl-
clan to make a note of the state OF his nervous
system. and keep the record at hand for future
reference. As every medical man of any expert.
ence can testify, the attempt to burn candle
at both ends one in the city and the other
fifty hundred miles away at the seaside
has cut off many valuable life in the flower
of its maturing manhood.

WANT THE MARKET MOVED.
Residents of Georgetown Protest
Against Commercial Nuisance

=
Twenty-Five residents of Georgetown,
is at present located on Potomac Street.
have sent a petition to the District Com
missioners requesting the removal of the
market house from its present site to its
former location on NJ Street.
The removal of the market to Potomac
Street, which was only partially, was
necessitated by the recent change in the
Capital Traction Company's system from
cable to electric power, The petition fol-
lows:
I'VE, the undersigned property owners
and residents of Potomac Street north OF
NJ Street, Georgetown, respectfully peti-
ton you for the removal of the market
stand from its present location on Poto-
mac Street, TO its former Locations on NJ
Street. We were assured, in answer TO a
former petition, that the change would
be made as soon as the work of changing
the motive power of the Capital Traction
Company and the Improvement of the
streets were completed.
THE presence of the market stand on
Potomac Street has been, and is, in the
nature of a nuisance, for the reason that
Potomac Street Is principally resident
street, and the noise and hustle incident
TO the countrymen getting to their places
during the nights before market days,
and arranging their benches and wares
early in the morning, very much inter
fere with sleep and general comfort, while
during market hours the sidewalk is
greatly obstructed.
LAS a consequence, the value of our
property is much deprecated On the
other hand, NJ Street contiguous to the
market house Is essentially a business
street and the most natural place for the
overflow of market business
Wherefore, we most earnestly and ur-
gently request the attention OF your nom
orable board to this matter, with view
TO as early a change as possible
