QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought Of using
anything else for Indigestion or Bill
business. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of Appendicitis.
Nervous Prostitution or Heart failure,
etc. They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fer
mentation of undigested food, regu-
late the liver. stimulate the nervous
and organic actions of the system, and
that is all they took when feeling dull
and bad with headaches and other
aches. You only need few doses of
Green's August Flower in liquid form
to make you satisfied there is nothing
serious the matter with you. For

The Chinese Wall

Chi Iuenti of Pekin. Mandarin
of the Red Button and an attache of
TSung Li-Gamen lChiuese Foreign
Office; and who is 4 visitor in Phil
adelphla at the Lafayette Hotel. SAID
yesterday in conversation about the
alleged intensiOn to tear down the
great wall of China:
1.-The mighty undertaking that is
before our Government in the de-
struction of the eigth wonder of the
world Is proof that China is about
to take giant stride toward better
and a stronger civilization. The
mighty wall created bv the Emperor
III 1000 years ago is no longer safe
guard against the assaults of the
weapons of today.
For many years the Chinese gov
ernment has studied and pondered
the utility Of the Tartar wall. and it
Is now conceded that it is no longer
needed. The immense amount of
material IN It's composition will suf-
flee to build 100 cities like Phila-
delphia.
"ln the northern portion of our
vast empire there are mighty rivers
that traverse regions thickly settled
with towns and villages. In the
rainy season these rivers frequently
overflow their banks and carry death
and devastation to the thousands of
families. Shortly after one of these
disasters, about "A year ago the En-
press sent Ii Hung 20 visit the scene
of the great flood and advise what
ought to be done.
"On his return to the capital he
told her Imperial Majesty of the
mighty river In the heart of America
and how 1t was prevented from
sweeping away cities along its shores.
An imperial decree went forth TO
pull down the wall and dyke the re-
beliOuS liver. China will soon con
troll the mighty waters of the Yang
tse hlang in leash formed from
the masonery of the great wall"

discussing plans regarding the proposed
Rock Creek Park.
The meeting opened with B. F. Janney,
the president, In the chair. The minutes OF
the preceding meeting were read by the
secretary. J. II. Taylor Col. II. F. Blount.
Chairman of a committee recently appoint
ed to Investigate the proposed establish
ment of Rock Creek Park. was called upon
tee. In responding. Colonel Blount sad
that nothing had been accomplished by the
COMMITTEES although efforts had been made
to urge the Introduction and passage of a
bill in Congress to establish this park.
He was followed by several members of
the association, who discussed the advis-
ability of such park, citing many reasons
why energetic work of the association to-
ward this end should continue. The prop
erty proposed to be converted into the
Rock Greek Park is known as the Boyce
tract, and lies on the west bank OF Rock
Creek, bordering u Street. This informa-
ton was given by John Leetch.
The association then turned It's attention
to discussion of plan regarding the ex-
tensions of the Baltimore and Ohio and
Pennsylvania railroads. The plan as de-
tailed by G. G. BSteler in an interesting talk
was as follows: To form a division of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, connecting
