As already published in The Times. the
Police Department has suggested to the
Commissioners that relief from the driv-
ing of hogs along Florida Avenue at
night might be effected by changing the
route from the avenue to less densely
populated streets Such a route was
named recently by Sergeant Matthews, of
the Eighth precinct.

geant Matthews suggested the hogs

1T IS THE WAY YOU USE 1T.
HIS the Method Employed Which
Makes Success or Failure.

One man with pen. ink, and paper can
produce a landscape, another man "ith
same pen and ink may not be able 10
write his name legibly. II is all in know
ing how.
1t is equally true in the use of medi-
cines. The same remedies we have TO-DAY
have existed for thousands of years hut
If their existence was known the kno"i-
edge OF how to use them was lacking.
They became valuable to the human
race only when experiment and science
showed the WAY to use them to get fe-
suits.
The grip is an old disease with new
name: ii is really catarrhal i'll character.
and the usual symptoms are those OF
acute catarrh. but the old-time catarrh
powders. salves, and sprays do not cure
II, neither docs the application of anti
septics through an inhaler give anything
more than relief for short time.
The antisepiics are all right: they viii
kill the germs Of catarrh and grip if they
are applied rightly. but their local appli-
cation to the nose and throat avail little
because the germs are in the blood and
through the whole system.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain many
of these same antiseptics, that are used
in sprays and inhalers. but instead of
applying them to the intlamed mem
branes of the nose and throat, they are
taken into the stomach and thus reach
the blood, the real seat of the disease
through the natural channels of the
bowels and kidneys.
In other words, Stuarts Catarrh ran
let's reach the cause OF the mischief in
stead of merely local symptoms.
The remarkable success of these tablets
in curing grip. catarrh and throat and
lung troubles is because they drive tn,
catarrhal poison from the system and the
nose and throat become clear of the eX-
ceSsive secretion Of mucus. which causes
the hawking, splitting, and gagging. be-
cause the secretion is not supplied from
healthy blood.
Two years ago Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
Were unknown. but today have become so
popular through positive merit that crug-
RistS everywhere in the United States,
Canada, and Great Britain now sell them.

to the matter Mr.. Haskell says:
For some time past complaints have

The question recently raised in the
Health Department. al the instance OF j.
w. Gleunau. relative to the meaning Of
the word street" as used in the act of
Congress approved May 49, 1896 common
ly known as the drainage act. seems to
have been solved. Mr.. Glennan submitted
4 statement to the Health Officer and re-
quested that the drainage notice served
on Mrs. Johanna Sullivan. owner of 1926
and 1923 L Street northwest. be not en-
forced, but that she be permitted to con-
meet said premises with a sewer laid in
front instead Of with the alley sewer. In
his letter eMr. GIennan made the point
that the drainage act did not apply to this
case, said act clearly referred only to
sewers which are situated In public
streets thus raising the question of the
difference I'm meaning between "a street
and an alley.
DR.. William @. Woodward the Health
Officer, submitted to the Commissioners a
statement. in which, among other things.
he said that the drainage act was drafted
chiefly by the late Judge Miller The adj
visibility of using the terms street ave-
nue.. alley, court place, etc, DIR. Wood
ward says. was suggested to him, but In
his judgment the term street was general
and would include the various other pub
lie highways referred to, Continuing, DR.
Woodward says:
Some doubt has been thrown upon this
opinion by recent proceeding I'm the Po-
lice Court, and the question Is again
raised by this communication. II Is Of
considerable Importance, as. If the act
does not Oua BILE the Commissioners to re-
quire sewer connections 10 be made where
sewer and water connections are avail
able only in alleys, etc, action should he
suspended not only In this case but more
particularly in certain cases In which the
commissioners have directed ON the
recommendation of the Health Deuart-
ment that sIch connections be made for
certain alley houses. the cost thereof to
be assessed against the property.
II respectfully recommend that this
matter be referred TO the Attorney for the
District with request for an opinion as
to whether an avenue road, an alley. n
court, place. or other similar term is to
be regarded as "a street within the mean
ing of the act to provide for the drainage
of lots in the District. and If so to what
extent.
The Attorney has now submitted his
opinion, in which he takes the ground that
the word street In the act referred to is
a general term, and that IL embraces an
the other terms used 50 far as the mean
ing and intent of the law are concerned
Among other things. the Attorney SAWS:
"A public alley In the city in which a pub
lie Sewer Is laid, in my judgment presents |
situation In no wise different from a |
larger highway denominated a street or |
an avenue. and am of the opinion that |
such a highway is within the meaning OF |
