Il found your medi-
cine a blessing to me
and my family"

There are women who feel something
like grudge against the children, who,
one after another rob their mother of her
beauty and strength. Men do not usually
realize how much the mother gives to
each child to her own loss. Women
accept it as part OF the obligation of
Nature and pay the debt grudgingly.
Yet in Natures plan every child is a
new JOY and fresh happiness. 1t isn't
the children that steal the mothers
strength 1t is the unnatural drains and
pains which weaken her.
Every woman who has used DR. pierce's

In the Police Court yesterday Mary
Brooks, colored, and her brother, William

AFTER UNsANITARY HOUSES.
DIR. woodwnrd's Proposition TO Com
denim Unhealthy Buildings.

The Commissioners have been again in
formed by the District Health Officer. DR..
William c. Woodward, that 1t is advisable
TO request of Congress a provision for the
inspection and condemnation of unsauitaTy
buildings in the District, and it is sug-
gested by the officer that bill which
failed OF passage in the last Congress be
introduced at the present session. The
bill TO which he refers was House bill
$685. and was introduced by Representative
Babcock, OF the House District Commit
Tee, on the 9th of January, 1898, but it
had not been reached when Congress al
journed.
The bill provided for a commission 10
make the necessary Investigations, and
that il be composed OF the Senior Assist
ant to the District Engineer Commissioner,
the Health officer. and the Inspector Of
Buildings. They should have power 10
examine into the sanitary condition Of all
buildings in the District that were occu-
pied by human beings, OF that We're intend
ed for that purpose and II il should be
found that any building was unfit for
habitatiou by reason OF bad sanitation.
the commission was to he. empowered 10
condemn the same, and require all the oc-
cupants to vacate the premises within
thirty days of the order. Previous to con-
ten DAYS notice on the owner 10 show
cause why the condemnation should rot
20 into effect. Changes should then be
made under the orders Of the commission.
and If satisfactory, the building might
again be occupied when the commission
was satisfied with the work OF repairs or
alteration.
Fines and Imprisonment we're prescribed
for failure to obey the orders of the COM
mission. An inspector was 10 be appoint
ed at a salary OF $1,000, and the bill APP
propriated the sum of $4,000 TO be
charged equally against the District and
the United States. which sum was to be
used in the defraying of the necessary eX-
penses attached to the proper performance
OF the work of the commission.
DR.. Woodward states that such legisla-
ton is needed here, and 1t is understood
that the Commissioners take 4 favorable
view of his recommendation.
