C. B. Hunt, the Computing Engineer, in
reporting upon the matter. has Informed
the Commissioners that he cannot recon-
mend compliance with the request. He
states that he has made a personal in
spection of the locality. and finds that
the improvement is asked for by only 10
per cent of the abutting property. He
expresses the opinion that II the improve
ment is sought for the purpose of divert
ing the drainage, that worse conditions
than now exist would result. He says
that the laying of the curb as requested
would require a considerable amount OF
filling, which would IN reality cut off
about three feet below grade.

report, and the petitioners VIII be in

The request for information was re-

preparation for the extension OF the water
service to Good Hope. He informs the
Commissioners that to cover the terri
tory in question water would have to

feet above tide. He states that the Ana

water at an elevation of 165 feet above

Mr. Yard states that the railway COM
pany seems to have abandoned entirely
the use of closed cars on the Georgetown
line, and that, toe while the temperature,
especially in the morning hours. is so low
as to make riding in the open cars un-

Mr.. Yard cites two mornings during the
present week when the temperature was
y degrees and IS degrees, respectively,
and states that the passengers on the
Georgetown line were obliged to ride in
the open cars to the danger OF their
health. He asks the Commissioners if II
is not true that. according to law, the
railroad companies are required to run
some closed cars the year through.
Mr.. Yard also calls attention to the

dren who do not pay fares and the nom

Mr.: Yard states that pedestrians are
Obliged to pick their way among these

noxious odors from the Easements be-
meath, and TO guard continually against
falling into them. He states that

WHAT SHALL We EAT
To Keep Healthy and Strong.

A healthy appetite and common sense
are excellent guides to follow In matters of
diet, and mixed diet of grains, fruits and
meats is undoubtedly the best, in spite of
the claims made by Yegetarians and food
eranks generally.
AS compared with grains and vegetables,
meat furnishes the most nutriment in a
highly concentrated form and Is digested
and assimilated more quickly than vegeta-
bles or grains.
Dr.. Julius Remusson on this subject
says: Nervous persons, people run down in
health and of low vitality should eat
plenty Of meat. II the digestion is too
feeble at first it may be easily strengthened
by the regular use of Stuart'E Dyspepsia
Tablets after each meal. Two OF these ex-
eellent tablets taken after dinner will
digest several thousand grains of meat.
eggs or other animal food in three or four
hours, while the malt diastase also CON
tanned in Stuart's Tablets cause the per-
feet digestion Of starchy foods, Ike pota-
toes, bread, etc, and no matter how weak
the stomach may be, no trouble will be ex-
perienced if regular practice is made of
using Stusrts Dyspepsia Tablets, because
they supply the pepsin and disstase 10 nee
sssary 10 perfect digestion, and any form
of indigestion and stomach trouble, except
cancer OF the stomach. will be overcome by
their daily use.
LHol iaA &c SidsS oA pcOpIt VINO come u1-
der the head of nervous dyspeptics should
eat plenty of meat and insure its complete
digestion by the systematic use of a safe
harmless digestive medicine like Stuart,
Dyspepsia Tablets, composed of the nat.
ural digestive principles, peptones and dius,
tase, which actually perform the work OF
digestion and give the abused stomach .
chance 10 rest and TO furnish the body and
brain with the necessary nutriment. Che8r
cathartic medicines, masquerading under
the name of dyspepsia cures, are useless
for relief or cure of indigestion because
they have absolutely no effect upon Inc ac
tual digestion of food.
Dyspepsia In oil Its forms is simpIv q
failure of the stomach to digest food. and
the sensible way to solve the riddle snG
cure the indigestion is TO make daily mss
at meal time of q safe preparation which
Is endorsed By the medical profession and
known to contain active digestive princi
pies, and all this can truly bs said of
6tuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
