Columbia Heights Citizens A-socih-

The Columbia Heights Citizens Asso-
citation, through its secretary. has sent
communication to the District Commits
sioners. in which it requests that steps
be taken to amend the law for the extern
sion Of streets. The request is contained
IN formal resolution, passed at the last
meeting Of the association. as follows
Resolved That the Columbia Heights
Citizens Association urges the Commission
ers Of the District Of Columbia to take
immediate action to have the law extend
ing streets in this section so amended as
to obviate the objections set forth in the
recent decision Of the Court Of Appeals in
order that the said streets may be estab
lished at an early day"

THE S STREET BILL.


just Form OF Legislation.
W. j. Lambert has written to the Dis
trict Commissioners relative to the con
Eleventh Street northwest. in which the
Court OF Appeals recently handed down a
decision, holding that the law under
which the proceedings were instituted was
unconstitutional. Referring to the gener-
al highway extension act Of 1898, Mr.. Lam
bert says it was so disastrous in its re
suits and SO injurious to property inter
ests as to make lis repeal imperative.
Since then. he AYERS, Congress has been
experimenting with this character Of leg
islation until the community is literally
dumfOunded with the vicious and unjust
provisions uf the 5 Street bill, embracing
similar legislation for Eleventh Street
Sixteenth Street, and New Hampshire Ave
nue..
By the terms OF the original legisls-
ton" he continues, the question Of the
amount Of benefits to be assessed, as well
as the area within which the same were
to be computed. was left largely to the
discretion OF the condemnation jury, with
the inevitable result that iuries composed
OF representative and intelligent business
men were forced to report an almost total
inability to discover benefits predicated
upon the mere taking OF title to the street
area by the Government
To remedy this sO-called evil" cOntin-
ues Mr. Lambert, Congress in fOrmulat-
ing the later acts was not content with
violating the compact OF 1878 by providing
that the entire damages awarded must be
paid from the District revenues, but &C
tually assumed part OF the functions of
the jury by peremptOrily directing the lat
ter to assess arbitrarily within areas of
about 200 feet from the sides Of the pro-
posed street at least one-half of the en-
tire damages awarded Naturally citizens

RICE CREAM. II,

CONTINUED from last week.)
RICE CREAM. II.
This ID a simpler preparations than the
former and is especially to be recom-
mended for young children. Wash two
tablespoonfuls of rice thoroughly and
put 1t in double boiler with quart
of fresh milk. Let 1t simmer until the
rice is very soft, sweeten to taste and
serve with or withous cream. For chill
dren who suffer with constipation this
may be given with stewed prunes or
with apple sauce.
A variety may be impaired to the
ecraped beef diet, while the patient is
still confined closely to this. by putting
the beef pulp into frying pan over the
IRE and letting 1t become just heated
through. 1t should then be spread upon
thin bread, either dry or very lightly
spread with butter. as suggested above,
or upon thin dry toast. Such sand
witches are a pleasant change from the
regimen of meat balls, OF which the pa
tient is likely to weary after a time.
The child soon becomes very found OF
such meat sandwiches, and have
known and young children who pre-
AettSu tiS intdt entirely raw. IN Inat
case it is perhaps hardly necessary TO
say that the mother or whoever does the
/ buying, must give all care TO see that
the beef comes from a house where one
may be sure that strict cleanliness is
observed in the cutting and care of the
meat.
For older children beef chopped as
for Hamburg steaks may be provided
and is excellent for the child who has
been forbidden to eat twice cooked meat.
1t sounds a simple thing to give child
bit of fresh steak or chop every day,
but to people in moderate means, it is a
good deal of a burden financially When,
however, the chopped beef from the
round is given it answers as well as ex-
pense steak. and If the meat is we'll freed
from tough and gristly fibre. is even
easier of digestion. The marketer should
see always that the meat is chopped by
hand at the butchers. and not put
through a sausage machine.-a process
by which the meat merchant saves time
and labor and robs the beef of much of
its best favor and nutritiye value.

Caught In shaftinz.

Yesterday week while Harvey Oar
rell was at work in the factory of
the F. Blumenthal & Co., his clothing
caught in a SET screw on some shafting
and he was whirled about the shaft
several times before the machinery was
stopped. His clothing was cut free
from the shaft and he was released
from his perilous position. His escape
from death is considered miraculous.
Or. Palmer was summoned and found
