Com missiOners Grant Hearing to
Maryland and Suburban Promoters.


Maryland and Suburban Promoters.
DIR. George Drane, Mr.. ]. B. Kinnear of
Takoma Park and Mr.. ]. F. Anderson of
Philadelphia had a conference with the
District Commissioners today on House bill
1913, providing for the construction of the
Maryland and Suburban railroad The
Commissioners recently recommended ad-
verse action on identically the same meas
ure in a communication to the Senate Dis
trict committee. The proposed road is in
tended to run from Ashton, Md, to Rock
ville Md, and thence to this city. Mr.
Drane represented the proposed road, Mr..
Anderson Philadelphia capitalists and Mr.
Kinnear the people of Takoma Park.
DIR. Drane said the Commissioners had
made the adverse report on the bill to the
Senate committee without giving the pro-
moters of the road a chance to be heard,
and, after explaining that there Is plenty
of money to be had with which to construct
the line, statement Mr.. Anderson in
dorsed, he stated that the company, desir-
ing greatly to obtain an entrance into the
city, would be quite willing and ready to
adopt such a route as the Commissioners
might deem proper 1t Is desired, he said,
to pass through Takoma Park and then
into the city alongside of the Metropolitan
branch of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
to North Capitol street, and then along
Florida avenue to 1th street west, and even
to 18th street, if the Commissioners would
permit, down 18th to 7 street, and by way
of T street and Florida avenue to North
Capitol street. But, if the Commissioners
opposed an extension of the road west of
Tth street, the company would be quite
willing to stop at 7th street
An informal discussion followed, during
which the Commissioners expressed them
selves as being unwilling to submit another
and different report on practically the same
bill They suggested, however that 1t
would be we'll to prepare bill setting forth
such a route as might be deemed acceptable
to them, and that DIR. Drane promised to
do at once and have 1t introduced in each
house of Congress.

AFTER GRIP

There is no denying the serious
fact that there is a great amount OF
sickness from the grip; that over
worked men and women now suffer
more than at any other time of the
wear from lassitude, headaches, slight
chills and fever and other symptoms
oi imperfect health; that people fall
SICK more readily now than at any
other time OF the year; and that when
ever an epidemic does appear it in
variablv plays havoc with those who
are run down and out of condition.
The utmost caution should be tax
en- to keep the blood pure and the
nervous system in healthy tone.
There is no more excuse for the
prevalent symptoms OF stagnant, inn
pure blood in the body than there is
for the barbarism of filthy streets III
city.
The relaxed and sluggish action of
the eXcretOrv organs loads the body
with waste material that poisons it
and brings on headaches, rheumatic
pains. sleepless nights and prohtless
DAYS. due solely to the circulation in
the blood, or deposit in the tissues,
of these waste matters which Paine's
celery compound alone will quickly
drive out
When the arms, hips or back feel
the twinges of acute rheumatism it is
high time to relieve the kidneys and
bladder from the strain that so often
brings on Bright's disease, gravel,
dropsy and complications OF diseases
with other organs whose health de-
perds upon the purity of the blood.
Prompt use OF Paine's celery COM
pound will save the weakened parts
from Welding to disease.
In its peculiar ability to invigorate
the body. to make new blood and to
regulate the nerves, lies the great
value OF Paines celery compound in
all wasting diseases and disorders OF
the kidneys. liver and stomach.
I'aines celery compound rescues
Shakv, enfeebled nerves from pros
tration and removes that feeling Of
utter exhaustion that causes so much
dependency among SO many wor-
RED men and women.
1t makes flesh, blood and strong
nerves.
Paine's celery compound is not a
patent medicine! 1t is not the dis
covery OF some quack doctor of
whom his profession never heard !;
1t is not concoction put up by some
man who first invented name, and
then adopted a preparation to fit it;
1t is not a secret remedy.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1899-01-12

But it is, first, the result Of the
lifelong study of the greatest ply
stefan America has produced. a man
whose reputation was worldwide
years before he had ever arrived at
this formula which has done so much
good; a man who has received the
highest degrees from the best col
leges, who was at the time of his dis
covery a professor at Dartmouth and
lecturer in other universities, a
scholar, a member OF family which
has made its mark in every depart
ment OF public life in America. 1t is
a remedy the formula of which has
been furnished to physicians in good
standing always, and which physi-
clans were prescribing long before
the present manufacturers put it up
for public distribution; it was dis
covered by Prof. Edward E. Phelps.
M. D., Ii. D., and was first pre-
scribed with wonderful success by
that eminent group of practitioners
who have made American physicians
known the world over, and OF whom
he was then as now, undoubtedly
the most famous.
The best test that can be applied
to Paine's celery compound is to use
it.
If one is run down" feels with
'out energy, lifeless, useless, fretful,
take this great remedy, and note the
change. Constipation will no longer
give one a disquieting thought; the
appetite will come back; sleepless-
ness and headaches will be things of
the past This is the experience of
men and women in every part OF the
country.
General good health depends upon
the perfect action of the nervous cur
rents, the vigor of the circulation and
the quality Of the blood.
The history of Paine's celery COM
pound has been made familiar to
every intelligent household in the
land. In the clearest and most di-
rect manner conscientious men and
women have told of their rapid re-
covery from disease by the use Of
this remedy.
Paine's celery compound is unap-
preached by any other remedy for
restoring the nervous system when
broken down or impaired from over
exer.ion of mind or body.
1t strengthens the digestive pow
ers, renews the blood and acts in the
vitalizing, curative, thorough man
ner that makes it the grandest help
to suffering men and women the
world of medicine affords.

 Swimming.
 Washington Star: A swimmer, no matter whether he is a beginner or an expert, cannot improve upon the ad- vice Of his great-gTandfather which is to go to a brook or swamp and study the manner and methods of the frog, remarked an ex-champion of the New York Athletic club to a writer for the Star recently. The most expert swim mers in the world are tyros compared to the Iaziest bullfrogs. The difficulty with all swimmers is that they spoil the effect of the stroke by the recovery. When frog starts off he draws his legs carefully and slowly up under him un- til he is in the position of a man sit ting on his launches. Then he sud- denly gives a mighty spring in the water, kicking his legs out, behind him, but almost directly eresswise. After the kicks his legs are slowly drawn together by his motion through the water until they hang out behind him in perfectly rigid form. Every toe of his web feet is held out as straight as an arrow and then nothing retards his motion through the water. Then again he slowly and carefully draws his legs in and repeats the per formance. You will notice that in drawing the legs up to his body for a second kick the frog recedes little. This is owing to the action of the up- per leg on the water, and it corre- spends exactly with the similar move ment on the part of a man. The first thing frog does is to give his body a good start through the water, and he holds himself in such a way that he gets the whole value of the stroke. A man starts out with just such kick, but after he has gone two or three feet he will begin to swing his hands for ward or draw up his legs in such fashion that they offset the whole value of his work. He stops his own body half way before the effect of the stroke has spent itself.
