THE STARVATION PLAN
OF TREATING DYSPEPSIA AND STOMACH
TROUBLES is USELESS AND UNsC1ENT1FIC

~,
The almost certain failure of the starvation cure
for dyspepsia has been proven time and again, but
even now course Of dieting is generally the first
thing recommended for a case Of indigestion or anv
stomach trouble
Many people with weak Digestion as well as
some physicians. consider the nrst step to take in
attempting to indigestion is to restrict the
Diet either by selecting certain foods and rejecting
others TO cut down the amount Of food eaten to
barely enough to keep soul and body together in
other words, the stary alton an is by many sup
posed to be the first essential.
All this is radically wrong. 1t is foolish and up-
scientific to recommend dieting to a man already
suffering from starvation because indigestion itself
starves every organ, nerve and fiber in the body
What people with poor digestion most need is
abundant nutrition plenty of good wholesome,
properly cooked food, and something to rasist the
WEAK stomach to digest It.
This is exactly the purpose for which Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets are adapted and the true reason
why they cure the worst of stomach trouble
Eat a sufncient amount Of wholesome food and
after each meal take one or two of Stlart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets to promptly digest II.
In this way the system is nourished and the
oyeIworked stomach rested because the tablets will
digest the feod whether the stomach works or not,
grain Of the active digestive principle In
Stuarts Dyspepss Tablets being sufficient 10
digest 5000 grains of meat eggs other albumin
food
DIR. HaFlandsen and DIR. Redweli recommend
these tablets in all of defective digestion be-
the pepsin and Gastase in them are absolute
ly free from animal matter and other impurities
and being pleasant to the taste safe and
harmless for the child as for the adult.
All drug stores sell this excellent preparation
and the daily Of them after meals will be Of
great benefit, not only as an Immediate relief, but
TO permanently build up and invigorate the diges-
tive organs. nhb&s-2t

The Senate committee on relations with
Cuba held a special meeting yesterday and
authorized the chairman, Senator Plat
Comm to appoint a subcommittee of three
to visit Cuba This subcommittee has not
yet been named, and Senator Platt has not
determined definitely to appoint 1t at all.
The authorization is not mandatory, and
will be exercised only in case the business
Of the Senate renders it feasible for sena-
tors to be absent. The members of the
committee are anxious, however, to secure
report upon conditions in the island from

taken yesterday was the result of more or

ALLEGED IMPOSTOR.
Man Who Poses as Priest and Known
as Father John.


as Father John.
The alleged bogus priest, who represents
himself as Father John" and who has
Travelled all over the United States, was in
this city yesterday. He was at St. Aloysius'
Church in the morning, and after leaving
there he went to the establishment of the
Little Sisters of the Poor, where he was
given something to eat.
The police learned that he was in the city
and Detective McNamee was sent out to
arrest him, but Father John" had too
much Of a start on the detective. and the
latter was unable to overtake him. The
officer learned that he had walked out the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad track, going
In the direction of Baltimore.
About a month ago letter was received
by the police from the Rev, J: F. Lehy,
president Of the College of the Holy Cross,
at Worcester. Mass, making inquiries
about the alleged imposter. Father John, -
as he Is known. is said to be named Thos.
been arrested in Massa chusetts and sem
fenced for false pretenses. and that he had
also been in other parts of the United
states. At one time, it is alleged, he repre-
he was an uncle of Gen. Leonard F. Wood,
military governor of Cuba. 1t is believed
by the police that the man wanted went to
Baltimore yesterday.

THE WATER METER QUESTION.
Some Strong Points in Favor Of the
Meters.

Some Strong Points in Favor OF the
Meters.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
I should be glad II The Star would give
space in its columns to allow a simple
Washington taxpayer to say that he is in
thorough sympathy with the desire of the
Commissioners to test in tentative way
the merits of water meters, as indicated in
the clause in appropriation bin alIotting
81, 900 for the purchase Of meters to be in
stalled as desired by the water consumers.
Under the present system a householder
has the option of paying under a rule of
thumb theory, by which the charge is based
on the width and heighth of his house and
the number of fixtures contained therein,
without any regard to the actual amount
of water used, or of being penalized by be-
ing compelled to put in meter at his own
expense in order to demonstrate that the
regular charge is excessive.
AS bearing upon this question I may say
that when building my residence put in for
the convenience of my family more fixtures
than were absolutely essential, and being
in the suburbs the house in question is Of
greater frontage than is common. Under
the usual method of fixing water rates the
charge against me would have been $3.50.
I, however, installed a meter, and the
charge per 1000 gallons has never reached
$50 per year,, notwithstanding the fact
that all the water for my residence, stable
and fountain goes through the meter.
In case meters are generally adopted 1t
would be we'll to reduce the minimum
charge to IS, and this, 1 understand, is the
present intention of the Commissioners.
1t would be Of great advantage to all con-
cerned in the proper conduct of municipal
government If meters could be placed on
the supply pipes Of the government depart
ments and public institutions. as then 1t
could be determined at least how large a
proportion of our water supply is used by
them, and it is even possible to hope that
some of the almost criminal wastage could
be stopped.
My experience as a user Of meters, both
in my residence and business establishment,
has thoroughly convinced me that under
measured service only those who allow the
most reprehensible waste of water would
pay as much as they do under the present
guess-work system.
I have found the meters accurate when
tested and do not believe that they are
fairly subject to the suspicion with which
gas meters are viewed. F. B. N.

A SENSATIONAL CROSS BILL.
Filed in ChattahOOchee National
Bank Case at Columbus

Columbus, Ga, Feb. 14.-Cerain stock
holders of the defunct Chattahoochee Ma
tional Bank haze filed a sensational cross
bill in the suit brought against them as
shareholders of the bank by Receiver VIII
liam Reese. They declare that former
Receiver John f. Flournery was wasteful
and extTavagant in administering the as
sets of the bank during his receivership
They claim that FlouTnery lost SAL 900 of
the trust fund by ill-advised expenditures
They assert that large part of this sum
was lost on the Chattahoochee brewery
that F$S,50O was lost on the Connellsville
Coal and Coke Company, and 50, 500 on an
orange grove in Florida.
The plaintiffs are being sued by present
Receiver Reese on a second assessment to
pay depositors. They pray to be relieved
of further payments, on the ground that
former assessments would have been am
pie to pay depositors but for the wasteful-
ness and extravaganza of former Receiver
Flournery, for which they aver they are
in no wise responsible. The suit is brought
in the United States Court.
