SIXTY FEET BE TWEEN CURBS
Order Issued Today for Widening Roadway
of Brightwood Avenue.
The Work to Be Commenced at Once
Space for Tracks of Electric
Railway. -

Among the orders issued by the District
Commissioners today was one directing
that the roadway of Brightwood avenue
from the Rock Creek Church road to the
District line be widened. at an estimated
cost of $4,000, chargeable to the appropria-
ton For repairs to roads, 1900
This order means that the road mention
ed will be widened to a width of sixty feet
between curbs. The tracks of the Bright
wood Railway Company will occupy about
seventeen feet of the roadway, which will
leave a space of twenty-one and one-half
feet on either side of the tracks for We
hicles It is estimated that the summer
cars of the railway, with their extended
running boards will increase the space oc-
cupied to about 20 feet.
The fact that the available space for We
hicles will only be about twenty-one and
one-half feet on either side of the railway
tracks, it is understood, will be the occa-
sion of requirement that teams shall.
when going north. keep on the right side of
the roadway, and when going south shall
keep on the west side. The work of widen
ing the roadway, 1t is stated, will be COM
menced at once.

reports that in calling upon Mrs ". F. Marsh,
found her complaining greatly about the loss of
sleep and nervousness in the family. He sug
gested that perhaps the trouble was caused by
coffee drinking, and advised that they use Pos
tum Food Coffee in its place. 4 box OF the new
Food Coffee was sent down to them, and at call
the second day Mrs. Marsh stated that about
O'Clock In the morning she was suddenly awakened
by her husband jumping up to dress, stating that
he must get OF to work. She looked at the clock
and told him it was only 8 O'Clock, and he must
have made u mistake. He said he felt there
was certainly something wrong with the clock,
for he had slept his usual time, was perfectly
freshed and had his nights rest out The good,
sound sleep continued night after night after leav
ing OF the coffee and using in its place the Pos
tum Cereal Food Coffee
The solicitor further says, II told this expert

he had never slept better In years. Mrs. Daven-

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
By the new arrangement as to transfers
between the railroad and herdics at H and
18th streets the people who patronize the
herdics, and there are many of them. can
not go to the Center Market without pay
ing two fares. Consequently, the patrons
of the herdics, north and south, will be
obliged to take the avenue or 14th street
roads. This ought to be corrected at once
in the interest of two important sections of
the city and the roads involved. D.
