District board that the attorney FOR The
District of Columbia be asked for an opin-
Ion as to the authority OF the Commission
ers to condemn and cause the removal OF

Of unoccupied property adjoining his prem
ises. A report upon the condition Of the

said that the dilapidStion OF each house
exceeded one-half its value. He said that
the floors had been torn away and Jaat
they were rotten in many places. Latin
and plastering were broken and the wealth
er boarding was or in part OF both front
and rear. For these reasons the inspector
said the houses should be condemned ana

department, and IL was said that the con-
dition of the houses was menace TO the

morrOw-General Notes.

times and is ready for more thorough work

bridge Bible, and go through some special
book-John, Romans or Isaiah.

people who had written to the Commission
ers about him. When complaint was made
against him Mr.. Guy secured a number of

observed the people who congregate to hear
MI Guy are orderly and decorous Major
sylvester returned the papers to Lieut..
Amfss with this adverse Endorsements:
Il do not propose to enter into the merits

The Kidneys

If your kidneys are out of order
you don't feel like going to work
when you get up in the morning.
Your back is lame and sore. and
aches, and your sleep has not been
refreshing.
Failure of the kidneys properly to
perform their functions often makes
a failure of life itself-it weakens all
the energies.
Hoods Sarsaparilla contains the best and safest
substances for invigorating and toning kidneys
1t was taken by Mrs. V. Kerr OF Indiana Pa who
writes: 81 had kidney trouble and took medicine

given Posey s. Wilson to see his two chill

petition recently filed, and asking that the
privilege be revoked Mrs. Wilson alleged
that aside from the harmful results to the
children of Mr.. Wilson's visits, he also an
moved her.
