DOWN WITH THE POLES.
LdfI0f Of EVeNing CabiIaY

Baltimore city has scored another tri-
umph in her history by compelling the
telegraph and other companies TO take
down their unsightly poles. There is,
therefore, no excuse now for the City OF
Annapolis to put up with the nuisance
any longer. We are already on the
march upward and through the munifi-
cence OF the general government our
little city will be one OF the most beau
tiful in the whole country. The City Of
Washington, which we have taken as
our model, got rid of the pest long ago
and has now an excellent underground
system and the scheme works, and works
well. Let US therefore urge the City
Council to adopt vigorous measures to
compel these rich and avaticious corpor.
alions to take down their disgraceful poles
and put their death dealing wires and
cables underground. CITIZEN.

The Christmas Dinner

In spite OF the tact that the word dys
be6sia means literally bad cook. it will
not be fair for many to lay the blame on
the cook if they begin the Christmas
Dinner with little appetite and end lit
with distress of nausea. II may not be
fair TOR any to do that-let US hope so for
the sake of the cook The disease dys-
pepsia indicates bad stomach. that is a
weak stomach, rather than a bad cook,
and for a weak stomach there is nothing
else equal to Hoods Sarsaparilla. Il
gives the stomach vigor and tone, cures
dyspepsia, creates appetite, and make:
eating the pleasure it should be.
