sets and Liabilities.

Helen II. Merriam, who is still living, and

Among the assets listed by the petit

simple Way to Locate the Cause
of Disease.

Il was troubled for years with nv
stomach, and took all sorts of remedies
without being able to get well. l did not
know all this time what was the cause OF
the trouble, but since | quit drinking
coffee ! found out that was the enemy
that cost me so many days and nights of
suffering
within an hour after breakfast whers,
l would drink a cup of coffee, I would
spit up the meal, and If / drank coffee
for supper ! would go to bed and my
nerves twitched and jerked so badly that
l was afraid to lie down.
Sometimes my stomach would fiutter
terribly.
Il was afraid I would have paralysis.
and l firmly believe l would if l had
kept on using coffee.
Il believe so much coffee drinking is
the whole cause of so many dying with
paralysis and heart trouble.
IAN can say is all this nervousness
and stomach trouble has left me since
/ have been using Postum Food Coffee
according ~ directions on the package,
and | kpr quite a number that have
been ne %, ~ rostum.
"if people would use Postum Cereal
Food Coffee they would save hundreds
of dollars in doctor bills. and children
would be stronger and brighter IL their
parents would use it instead of coffee. OF
course, it has to be made right, but that
is easy Just let II boil fifteen or twenty
minutes after it really starts to boiling,
and you have n splendid drink" MRS.

to create this hospital they continue.
'and if the reasons that first called 1t
into existence have force now. the build
ines should be constructed. according to
improved hospital plans"
Many general conclusions were draTn
by the select committee as result OF the
findings of Drs. Hurd and Chapin, wi ich
led to the introduction OF the Mcmillan
bill for the establishment of the new hos
pital There is n lack of coordination in
the work of the various hospitals receiv-
ing aid from the Government. In five
local hospitals lying-in patients are re-
ceived, and in some of them parate
provision is made for white and colored
patients All of the hospitals. with TWO
exceptions, receive pay patients and in
some instances 1t is claimed these de-
partments are developed at the expense
of the free wards.
The Lack of Supervision. support,
Etc.
Another important factor in support Of
the municipal hospital project is the lack
of supervision of local hospitals on the
part of the Government. At present the
Government is in the position of a mi
nority stockholder in most of the. hospi-
tails to which appropriations are made
Although it supports. wholly or in part
all the institutions visited by Drs. Hurd
and Chaplin, the title of but two institu-
tions is vested in the Government. These
are the Columbia Hospital and the Poor
House Hospital. The remaining seven are
owned by private corporations and receive
aid only Freedman's Hospital is under
the charge of the Secretary OF the 1nte-
rior; Providence Hospital is under the
surgeon general of the army. and Colum-
bia Hospital has one of the District Com
missioners on its board of trustees.
The proposed municipal hospital will be
a well-constructed building with all mod
ern appointments. 1t will be disasso-
ciated from the Jail, almshouse and the
House of Correction. This is to remove
objections that might be made by the
worthy poor to treatment in an aims
house hospital. 1t is recommended to
transfer the work at Freedman's Hospital
to the proposed new municipal hospital.
This arrangement will practically consoli-
date all hospital service for the poor and
dependent of the chronic class In one in
stitution, to which no professional objec-
ton could be made. If Freedman's Hos
pital were not the property of a private
corporal ton, and IL its site and plant were
under the control of the Government, it
would have been converted into NUM-
cipal hospital under the management Of
the District authorities.
The proposed change is expected to be
far reaching and an endeavor will be made
to have the municipal hospital bill
passed as early as possible. 1t looks to a
unifcation of hospital work on compre-
hensive plan and is expected to prevent
a duplication of hospital work and a
waste of public appropriations Superin-
tendent of Charities Lewis is heartily in
favor of the municipal hospital idea and
also favors the passage of a bill making
1t obligatory on all private institutions to
take a number of patients from the Gov
ernment.
This is essentially necessary just now

railroad grade crossings continue To
cause worriment among the residents of

pes'is are being sent to the District Conn
ihissioners requesting the stationing of
ponce officers TO prevent accidents. The
latest communication is from ]. y prom,
OF No. Al Four-and-a-half Street south

ger of the grade crossing. but mejntai.,.
mat the police are poweriess to remedy
tne matter. Lieut. Hollingberger makes
,he sweeping statment that the cond,-
tioh OF things complained of at the COR
ner OF Virginia Avenue and Four-aud-a-

crossed by the Pennsylvania Railroad 4,

ever train passes. the safety gates are
lowered, obstructing the street for SOW
eraa minutes at time. This DELAYS
.raihc ana causes congestion which IS
not relieved until the raising of the sar.
ty gates.
The lieutenant says it is very rare that
serious accidents occur at any of these
crossings explaining that only three ac-
cldents have happened at the corner NJ
virginia Avenue and Four-and-a-hoIf
street during fourteen years. He thinks
that the condition will exist as lone .s
