Good Information.

III one-half Of the people who trade in
stocks, grain, provisions. and cotton would
listen TO the information which can be
given them by older and more experienced
heads, there would be h great many more
OF them placing balances on the right side
OF the ledger. The Judgment OF Wilson G
Co. stock brokers, upon tile market has
been remarkably accurate since their ad
vent into business, and especially so dur
ing the past week. With the announcement
that st. Paul was purchase and the fur
ther prediction that the industrials would
advance, this firm started its line of fore
casting. working upon conditions and in
formation available only TO a limited num-
Der of persons. Wilson & Co. claim to get
their information from the most reliable
and authentic sources. and the fact that
each stock selected for an advance by the
firm has gained from four to eighteen
points in five days, would seem TO sub
stantiate their claim Of having exclusive
and valuable sources OF Information.
Their place of business is at 1905 G
Street northwest, where an efficient and
courteous corps of clerks and employees
are always on hand to serve their patrons.
Though the firm OF Wilson & Co. is as yet
comparatively new one. il is composed
Of enterprising. progressive men. and is
building up splendid clientale.

good of man, in mechanical way. has
been far surpassed by the good results
obtaining from the successful ends il has
reached for the betterment of his phys
ical being. Always q close observer of
the progress made in this line, ! availed
myself of an opportunity few days ago
TO visit The DR.. Davis Medical Institute,
at 7i5 Thirteenth Street. where, In the
course of ten minutes,s learned more
about the cause. effect, and treatment of
eatarrh than / had ever hoped to know.
The Institute is handsomely fitted and
furnished, the reception room being en-
tirely separate from the booths where
treatment is administered. In these
booths the patient is comfortably seated
at table on which rests an atomizer,
through which is forced, by means of COM
pressed air, spray, which, when inhaled,
thoroughly cleanses and purifes all of the
nasal glands, bronchial tubes, etc. l
tried the spray for an experiment and was
delighted with its effect, especially on
the throat. The success OF this treat
ment, which seems 30 very simple after
you have tried II, has been. really remark
able, as the vast number OF unsolicited
testimonials which are received daily will
demonstrate. DIR. Davis is surrounded
with capable corps OF assistants, all OF
whom are specialists OF wide reputation.
Certainly nothing could be fairer than the
offer which he makes to all who are inter
ested in his treatment-a free examination
and free trial treatment: the treatment
that appeals to reason; that has cured
thirty-fve hundred cases Of nose, throat,
and bronchial trouble, as well as twelve
hundred cases Of deafness, during the past
three years. On another page the regular
announcement of The Dr. Davis Medical
Institute will be found.

Look to Your Eyes.

Going on the theory OF Equalization, -
il is no wonder that one can get profess
sional services at this day and time a
great deal more reasonably than a few
years ago. All articles OF wearing APP
parel, and food products. and in fact all
the necessities of life can now be obtained
very chesply: and following in this wake,
The German Optical Institute, at AZ Sew
enth Street northwest. is making spe-
cial ten day offer on their famous German
Silicate Glasses for one dollar per pair.
This is an exceptional opportunity for
anyone suffering with any symptoms of
eve trouble TO take advantage OF and OBJ
viate any serious trouble which may be in
store for them. DR.. Hugo Guske. in charge
OF the Institute. has had years Of expe-
rience in the famous optical institutes of
Berlin, and is assisted by competent
staff of graduate opticians. This offer is
made simply TO introduce the glasses
here and only for limited number Of
days. Don't hesitate, II your eyes are
bothering you, to call and have an exam
ination by DR.. Guske.

WANT TO USE THE SIDEWALKS.
Wholesale Merchants Petition for an
Extension of PriyiIeReS

Many merchants in the vicinity of Penn
sylvania Avenue, between Sixth and Sew
enth Streets northwest, have joined in a
petition to the Commissioners to allow
them to use ten feet of the sidewalk in
front Of their places of business in order
10 receive and deliver merchandise. Most
Of the places in this section are whole
sale houses. whose freight comes and goes
in large quantities.
The sidewalk is twenty-six feet wide,
they state. and they guarantee that they
will keep a space of sixteen feet clear at
all times for the use of pedestrians. Major
Sylvester told the Commissioners that he
could see no reason why the request should
not be granted. 1t is customary TO allow
these merchants ample time to carry their
wares 20 and from their stores. he says.
Commissioner Beach stated that he had
no objection to the occupation of the pave
ment for such purposes for reasonable
length of time. but owing to the abuse
that has accompanied the exercise OF this
privilege In the past, he suggests that no
permits be issued. but that the merchants
of the section be allowed rather more lati-
tude than usual.
