William, 81 am surprised at the i'm

This was particularly true this time

fever has become almost a thing of

be a pest hole. and the time is not
far distant when it will be stamped
out entirely. When the fear of yell

the American Riviera. 1t can offer all
the delights of climate and an in

AN ALL-NIGHT CAR SERVICE.
4 Bill 10 Be Introduced Providing
for 81 Rapid Transit Reform.

II is probable that an all-night street
car service for this city will be one OF the
local benefits that the present Congress
will confer. Representative Sims OF Ten
nessee, a member Of the House District
Committee today in reference TO this mat
ter said:
While no bill has yet been introduced
requiring the street cars of Washington 10
furnish an all-night service. ] understand
one of that character will be introduced
this week / believe such measure Won
be endorsed by the citizens. You know
lots of people would be accommodated by
an all-night car service, the cars to run at
stated intervals. The street car lines in
other cities furnish such a service. and
know of no good reason why the citizens
of the greatest Capital in the world should
not have a like service. OF course, IL al
depends on public sentiment
IF ne citizens OF Washington want an
all-night car service and they make known
their desire TO Congress, then bill re-
curing such service. in my opinion. viii

Sympathy may help

That fact is so obvious that you Won
der why any one can offer sympathy
as the chief feature of treatment for the
delicate diseases Of women. Yet women
are invited TO write to a woman who
can sympathize with wofnan," and the
theme OF their correspondence is TO
be the delicate, difficult and dangerous
diseases which undermine woman's
health and strength. II is true that such
offers are combined with an offer oil
medical advice But medical advice
can only be given by competent ply
sician, and no mention Is made IN such
offers OF physicians or doctors advice.
1t is not offered because it cannot y
given. The offer is not being made by
qualified physician.

made 10 ailing women by Doctor K. Y.

more than half million women, who
