Rheumatic pains are the cries of protest
and distress from tortured muscles, aching
joints aud excited nerves. The blood has
been poisoned by the accumulation of
waste matter in the system, and can no
longer supply the pure aud health sustain

feels the effect of this acid poison; and
not until the blood has been purified and
brought back to a healthy condition will
the aches and pains cease.

Robert f. Mattingly, 472 Louisiana
Avenue, has written to the Commission
ers a second time with reference to the
application of Cana Cavella to protect
his fruit stand at the corner OF Twelfth
Street and Pennsylvania Avenue. He in
forms the Commissioners, in reply to
their recent letter to him. that there
must be some mistake with reference to
the application, as a fruit stand exists
at the point named, and the application
has in view the enclosing of the same
to protect the fruit. He asks the Com
missioners that the refusal of the appli-
cation be reconside-ed.
The letter of Mr.. Mattingly having been
referred 10 the Police Department, Lieu
tenant Anliss reports from the First pre-
cinct that the fruit stand in question is
allowed to exist from the fact that Ca
yella rents the cellar for the storage OF
his fruit, and In consequence is allowed
four feet from the building line for the
display OF his goods. which are removed
after business hours. But II he is al
lowed to enclose the stand as suggested,
Lieutenant Amiss states that 1t would
become a permanent fixture outside Of
the building line, and he recommends
that the privilege asked be not granted.
In forwarding the report to the Com
missioners for their consideration, the
Superintendent of Police approves the
same and adds that the enclosing Of the
space as set forth in the application
would be contrary to law.
1t is understood that the Commission
ers will take the same view of the mat
ter and approve the recommendations OF
