police regulations now in force upon this
subject.
The only reference to tie matter that
l am able to- find in the police regulations
is embraced in section 4. page SO, of the
edition Of 1895. l find no amendment
thereto and no other regulation upon the
subject 1t reads as follows:
No person shall deposit, place, or
leave in or upon any OF such places desig-
mated in section l Of this article, which
includes streets and alleys, any broken
glass. crockery. nails tin, or iron cut
tings, hopes. or hoop skirts. wagon tires,
wire. or other article or things liable to
wound or injure man or beast
The objection to the above section and
its inefliciency. / take it, will be readily
observed upon careful examination. By
virtue Of this section unbroken glass might
be left with impunity. The section pro-
vides that broken glass shall not be CO.
posted. placed. or left upon the streets
and it would seem that under this Sc t on
the articles named are forbidden to be left
upon the streets only when they are liza
Bile to fnjure man or beast. The fact that
these things are left upon the streets and
that they are liable to and do injure BIZ
cycles and locomobile tires is not an Of
fence under the police regulations of this
city. II seems to me that the police regu-
lations upon this point should be such as
to prevent and make it an offence for any
person to place or cause to be placed, d.
rectly or indirectly. any glass. crockery,
nails, tin, or other substances upon the
streets whether the same was liable to in
ture man or beast or bicycle or automo-
bile tires or the shoes OF pedestrians In
short l think the provisions should ex-
clude every article and make 1t an o.
fence for any individual to place or de-
post ANYTHING upon the streets Of the
city. 1 believe the framing OF compre-
Leasfve rolice regulation upon the sub
5ect and its publication would do much
toward ehecang q remedy for the evil
complained o."

Every day adds to the list Of deaths
attributed to heart failure. If the
truth were told the bulk Of these
deaths might be written down as due
to stomaH failure. For it Is in the
failure Of the stomach and other organs
Of digestion and nutrition, that rweak .

other fofms Of physical deterioration
having their beginning. The man whose
stomach Is sound, who can digest and
assimilate the food he eats, and so keep
each organ Of the body well nourished,
is the man who Is least liable to collapse
under the sudden weakness Of some
vital organ.
The preservation Of health which fol-
lows the nse of Dr.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, is chiefly due TO the
fact that It perfectly and permanently
cures diseases Of the stomach and organs
Of digestion and nutrition, purifes the
blood and increases the blood supply of
the body. Weak people will find in this
medicine sure means Of strength.

character. desire to call your attention
to the fact that In the District Of Colum-
bia today there are probably not less than
100000 pneumatic tires rolling about the

are $4,000 bicycles In use within the con-
fines Of the District. Adding to this the
number Of automobiles. locomobiles. bug
gies, wagons, etc., fitted out with rubber
tires and the number easily reaches the
100000 figure.
Il think It is not an overestima.ion to
say that each tire Of this great number is
