F. a johnson. correspondent Of the st
Paul Dispatch" has written to the Com
miss l-~rs protesting against the location
OF ~ proposed market house on Four
teenth Street near Y Street but for a
reason which has not heretofore been ad-
vanced. He thinks that the establishment
OF a market at the point mentioned would
rot materially benefit A very large and
rapidly growing section Of the northwest,
including Columbia Heights Mount Pleas
ant. HOlmead Manor, and the tributary
territory.
Mr.. Johnson is OF the belief that in the
suburb north of Florida Avenue to the
Spring Road and west of Sherman Ave
nue.. 50.00J people live without market ac-
commodations He informs the Commis
sioners that these people pay from 10 to
Is per cent more for staple and fancy
table groceries, fruits, and vegetables
than those of any other portion of the
city, for the reason that the dealers are
compelled TO charge more owing to the
distance from the source of supply.
Mr.. johnson thinks that If a market
could be located at the end of the Four
teenth Street car line. thus providing for
the wants Of the people in Mount Pleas

HeIghtS-Another Faulty Gas Meter
Andrew E. Duvall the Attorney for the
District has submitted to the Commis-
sioners his opinion upon the comnunioa-
tion OF Dr. +. Fireman, who complained
Of the alleged nuisance occasioued by the
hammerine of iron girdars in the McGill
Structural Iron and Steel Works. corner
of Third and r Streets northeast In DR..
Fireman's complaint it was set forth
that these works are located in front of
his residence. on the opposite side Of the
street. and that the open space in the
square bounded by Second. Third. Quincy
and p Streets is occupied with the works
He also alleged that the hammering COM
planned of continued from o'clock in
the morning until 10 o'clock at night. The
Commissioners in referring the matter
to tbe Attorney asked TO be informed
how to proceed to abate the alleged nuis-
anCe.
Mr. DuvaH SAYS:
a nuisance in contemplation of law
may be said to be anything wrongtuliy
done or ,ermitte5 which injuries or an
noys another in the enjoyment of his legal
rights: il may arise from the unreason-
able. unwarrantable. or unlawful use by
a person of his own property, or from
his own improper or unlawful personal
conduct. working an injury 10 a right Of
another or of the public, and producing
q material annoyance, Inconvenience. or
hurt Whether noise alone constitutes q
nuisance depends upon the circumstances
of the case; while trihing or occasional
noises incident to the ordinary use of
property or the prosecution Of a trade
or calling do not ordinarily constitute a
nuisance, though persons in the neighbor
hood are disturbed: nevertheless . law
ful trade not especially noisy may con-
stitute a nuisance if pursued at unsea-
souable hours; and the quality or char
acter of the noise may be an important
element on the question Of the extent of
the nuisance.
The law provides fer the puuiSime-t
and abatement OF such nuisance as
complained of by indictment by the grand
jury. I'm such a case as that under con-
sideratiou, private parties especially in
jured have their private remedy 10y AN
action Tor damages. and they may also
maintain a bill in equity 10 eujoin the
Continuance Of the nuisance.
1T Is suggested i'll the complaint that
public space is improperly occupied and
used; il this is the case the Commission
ers have authority to require the removal

W. d. Sullivan. of Thirteenth and J.
Streets northwest, has requested the re
turn Of the pound fee paid for the release
Of his dog from the pound With his re-
quest Mr. Sullivan submitted a statement
relative to the matter. which he thought
should Justify the Commissioners in re
mtting the pound fee. He stated that
his dog had worn collar for three years
and that upon the day when he was cap
tured the collar was being mended. He
stated that there was no intent to evade
or disobey the law. He also mentioned
the trouble he had in getting his dog re-
leased being obliged to make two or more
journeys TO the pound and one visit to the
District Building for a duplicate license.
The matter was referred TO the Health
Department, and Samuel Einstein, the
poundmaster, stated that he had no
knowledge of more than one visit paid to
the pound and that il more than one was
necessary it was through TO fault of the
pound service. He states that in such
cases there is no demand made for the
production OF the license and tag prece-
dent 10 the return of the animal. He said
Of course delivery of the dog was refused
until the pound fee was paid.
DR.. William c. Woodward III forward
ing the report Of the poundmaster to the

nothing in the circumstances which in his
opinion warranted the return of the
pound fee and he recommended that the

A MOUNTAIN CLIMBER.

Gains Ie Pounds on Change of Food.
When a change in food can rebuild
a man ~ years of age. il is evidence
that there is some value in q knowl-
edge that can discriminate in the
selection of proper food to rebuild the
body. A few months ago the physi-
clan attending Warren s. Johnson. OF
Colfax. Cal. "a years old, told him
that death from old age would soon
claim him. He suffered from general
weakness and debility.
An old lady advised him to quit cof-
fee and drink Postum Cereal Food
Coffee and to eat Grapefruit break
fast food every morning. He took the
advice, and has gained - pounds.
Says he is as we'll as he ever was, and
can take long trips In the mountains.
which he has been unable to do for q
long time.
There is reason for this; in the
first place, coffee acts as a direct nerve
destroyer on many highly organized
people, both young anu old, and
many people haven't the knowledge
to select nourishing, healthful. re-
building food.
Both Postum Food Coffee and
Grape-Nuts breakfast food are made
from selected parts of the field grains
that contain delicate particles OF
phosphate of potash and slbumen.
These two elements comb ine in the
human body to quickly rebuild the
gray matter in the brain and in the
nerve centers throughout the body.
Direct, sure and certain results
come from their use and can be
proven by any person that cares to
make the trial Both the Postum
Food Coffee and Grape-Nuts are kept
by first-claEs grocers.
