He IS THE FIRST MAN WHO
EVER CURED CONSUMPTION.
Dr.. Edward Koch is in Europe in the Inter
est OF the American Branches OF tia Koch
Inhalation, Which Are IN Washington,
New York and many other cities.

No one denies the fact that Prof. Koch,
of Germany, cures consumption
The Government of his country employs
him at an immense salary to cure con-
sumption in the public hospitals
He is the only man who ever did cssre
this fatal disease. His new system,
which he IS constantly improving, for
curing consumption by the use of a new
tubercUIine is here in Washington at the
Koch Lung Cure at 62T r Street north
west
The great professor in his years of study
discovered a medicine called tubercuIine.
which ne injeCts into the circulation; also
by combining it with healing oils, it is
thrown into fine vapors by the use Of the
Koch Inhalation apparatus
The yapors OF these healing oils are
easily breathed into the air tubes. causing
the lungs to be entirely filed with them,
and the lungs are healed as if by magic
The yaDors are composed of antiseptics,
disinfectants, and the great Koch tuber-
cuIine, and the effect is to kill the disease
germs and expeI them; in fact, no form
OF germ life can live when thoroughly
under the influence Of the Koch inhaIa-
ton
Send for the Koch Lung Cure booklet.
The physicians of Washington are in
vited TO join the classes of instruction be
ginning the first Monday of every month.
The trial treatment is here given free to
prove the wonderful value Of the new
Koch system
The addresses of cured patients viii lie
gladly given. Can and see the wonderful
Inhalation invention You win find that
the treatment has absolutely cured hun
dreds OF patients after every known med
icIne has failed
Don't take any more medicine"fnto the
stomach Lung medicine is always hard
on the stomach.
Be skeptical If you viii until you have
investigated. but investigate and find out
the truth. The doctors invite sharp criti-
cism- Their cures will bear investigation.
Consultation and examination free Cat

a COTTAGE HILL LAND CASE.
Josephine Davis Asks the Courts to
Invest Her With "a Title.

Josephine Davis today filed proceedings
in equity against John A Harrison and
others. in which the court is asked to
establish title in @the complainant to 4
certain tract Of land in Long Meadows,
now known as Cottage Hill.
The complainant claims ownership to
the real estate. through clear claim of
title. obtained before the time when the
land was coded to the United States by
the State Of Maryland. The tract of land
in question contains about thirty-six
acres and is located on the Bladensburg
Turnpike
AT the time Of the cession by the State
Of Maryland of the territory now consti-
tuting the District Of Columbia it is stat
ed that the land referred to was OWNED
by one William Campbell. from whom it
was purchased by David OFT who died in
1920 Prior to the death of the latter.
however, he conveyed it to Joseph Gales,
IT, who died in 1859 Gales entire estate
was left TO Sarah ] NJ Gales, who in 1865
sold the land to William ". Seaton. who
in turn conveyed it to Henry S. Davis,
who died 1891.

CONTROLLED BY THE TRUST
Navy Officials Complain of High
Price of Crank Shafting.

Congress May BE Asked 10 Remove
the TnriH-The Material Sold in
England Mt One-fiftIl the Amount 1t
Can Be Bought for in This Country
The Navy Department may at the next
session OF Congress ask for a repeal Of
the law which prohibits the use of for
eign material in the construction of war
ships for the navy. and request that Ger
tain forEings of steel be admitted free of
duty for use in the building of men-of-
war
The need for such action is made ap-
parent. it is claimed. by reason of the
fact that the Government is now required
to pay five times as much for American
forgings as the same kind of articles cost
in England.
The price now paid for crank shaftin5
bought by the Government is $226 per
pound. while the same is sold in England
for IS cents a pound.
This amounts to a large item when con-
sidered in connection with the large
number of vessels now being constructed
and the great quantity OF crank shafting
used
There are in this country but two plants
those Of the Midvaie Steel Company and
the Bethlehem iron Company-wheTe this
product is turned out and the contractors
building vessels are complaining to the
Navy Department of the excessive
charges made by these concerns. Because
the law prohibits the use of any foreign
material in the vessels these companies,
which are in the trust, are enabled To
charge whatsoever they wish TO for

CHANGING THE BIG CLOCK.
Extensive Alterations to Be Made in
the Postofzce TImepiece.


the PostofEce TimePiece.
The hands on the north and south diaIs
of the big clock in the PostofIice Building
stopped today at 12-02 O'Clock and many
persons who depended upon them for in
formation as TO the time OF day were
sadly deceived. The. reason for this
strange action, or lack of action on the
part Of the big timepiece- was the fact
that the clock is undergoing extensive al
terations. New hands are TO be placed
on all the diaIs and when the changes
shall have been completed the figures on
the dial may be seen from a much great
CT distance than at present.
The new hands are to be foot wide
and will be painted black At the pres
ent time the hands are only aDout three
inches wide and are gilded. Their bright
finish does not provide enough contrast
with the grey dials- The illuminating
power viii be Increased and At night the
dials VIII show the time much palmer
than before
Ever since the Postofice was built there
has been complaint about the clock At
night It has always been difficult TO tell
the time on account Of the fact that the
hands were SO narrow and bright IN color
that they did not afford sufficient contrast
with the dial The supports OF the dial
are nearly as wide as the hands and are
often confused with them, as they show
through The glass AT night
The long CONFERENCE.-The are often con-
fused with the hands also. When the new
counter-weishts are placed on the hands
they VIII probably 90 behind The dial IN
such case only the hands viii show on
the face OF the clock.
The changes being made have been in
contemplation for some time Several
weeks ago Andrew O. HutteTly was given
the contract to make them and expert
wOrknen began operations today IT was
the plan not to disrnantle the clock all at
once but 10 work on one dial while the
hands on the others are running no at
tempt Will be made, however to ilIumi-
nate the diais at night. The d ais are If
teen feet wide and the minute hand near
y half that length.
