: chase OF Neutrality-suspicious. Grounds.
The District Commissioners today re-
eeiged letter from John D. Long, Sec
rotary of the Navy, calling attention to a

Observatory Grounds be acquired to com
piete the Observatory Circle" Plat 3

bia, and upon it is located the Industrial

circle which surrounds the observatory at
some distance as a means Of protection
TO the finely adjusted instruments used
Secretary Long states that before tax
ing action upon the recommendation the
Navy Department would be glad to re-
ceive from the Commissioners any sug
gestion they may have TO make in regard
to the matter Their attention is invited
TO the underlying purpose TO be sub
served by the establishment OF the oh
servatory. Circle" in the security of deli
cate astronomical instruments, in such
manner that their efficient use may not be
impaired by vibrations caused by heavy
machinery, traffic, or otherwise. or by
smoke or currents of heated air in the

Secretary Long suggests that it may be
possible for this object to be satisfac-
torily attained without the absolute acqEi-
sition by the United States of the title
70 the property now used for the pur-
poses of the Industrial Home School.
The letter Of Secretary Long was today
referred to the Board of Charities for
consideration and report
The question of abandonment of the
present site of The Industrial Home
School has been informally discussed by
the Board Of Charities. II IS stated that
the present. buildings OF the school are
not especially valuable. and il has been
suggested that the sale of the site and
buildings might net the District enough
10 acquire q better site and erect new
buildings better adapted to the needs of
the institution. The proposition contain
ed in the report of the Chief OF the Bu-
reau of Equipment Is not likely to meet
with any opposition on the part of the
Commissioners of the District
II has been suggested that the United
States might take over the site of the In
dustriaI Home School and the money for a
new site equally valuable might be paid
for out OF money from the United States
Treasury.

deafness. But, by far the most common
cause OF loss of hearing is catarrh Of the
head and throat
a prominent specialist on ear troubles
gives as his opinion that nine out Of ten
cases OF deafness are traced to throat trou-
BILE; this is probably overstated, but it
is certainly true that more than half Of
all cases of poor hearing were caused by
catarrh.
The catarrhal secretion in the nose and
throat finds its way into the Eustachian
tube, and by clogging it up very soon az
fects the hearing. and the hardening of
the secretion makes the loss of hearing
permanent unless the catarrh which
caused the trouble is cured
Those who are hard of hearing may
think this little far fetched, but any one
al all observant, must have noticed how
a hard cold IN the head VIII affect the
hearing. and that catarrh, II long neglect
ed, viii certainly impair the sense Of hear
ing and ultimately cause deafness
II the nose and throat are kept clear and
free from the unhealthy secretions Of
catarrh, the hearing will at once greatly
improve and anyone suffering from deaf
ness and catarrh can satisfy themselves
on this point by using a 30 cent box OF
-tuart's Catarrh Tablets, q new catarrh
cure, which in the past year has won the
approval OF thousands OF Catarrh suffer
ers. as well as physicians, because it is in
convenient form to use, contains no CO
caine or opiate, and is as safe and pleas
ant for children as for their elders
Stuart's CatarTh Tablets is a wholesome
combination Of blood root, guaiacoI. Gu
calyptoi. and similar antiseptics, and they
cure C2tarrh and catarrhal deafness by
action upon the blood and mucous mem
brane of the nose and throat
As one physician apLly expresses II:
You do not have TO draw upon the mag
inatiCn to discover whether you are get
ting benefit from Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
Improvement and relief are apparent from
the first tablet taken"
All druggists sell and recommend then
They cost but so cents for full-slzed pack
age. and any catarrh sufferer who has
wasted time and money On sprays. saiyes,
and powders viii appreciate 70 the full
the merit OF Stusrt's Catarrh Tablets.
