TT Is said that Bsltimoreans never

in the National Capital. Washington
ians do just the opposite. They put
themselves out. as IT were. to save
foot or so OF ground. by this method.

ize that in the duration OF year much
time and energy are saved by cutting
this corner or that. or by lodging
through some narrow aIley-way that
may not be pretentious enough even to
boast of a name.
Inventions for devices that save time
and energy are always at a premium.
The United States Patent once is over
flowing with these kind OF patents. but
few Of them prove as practical or at
tractive as the short cut on street ways.
Short cutting is strictly a fine art. but
1t is sometimes. perhaps. more useful.
The Rooters' Boulevard.
In the baseball season here. when
the whack Of the ball or the yell Of
the umpire is heard at American
League Park. and # is evident that the
game is on. one naturally wants TO jump
of the Columbia car. and get admis-
sion as soon as possible
An alley on H Street. between Twelfth
and Thirteenth Streets. is the short
cut to the park for the 'rooter," and
is one OF the most famous in the
city. Thousands every day, who go
70 see the games, find this pas
cage a boon. BY taking this route the
fans" save a few seconds in time and
run the good chanes OF viewing some
sensational play or incident that might
otherwise have been lost.
This alley has been called the Root
ers' Boulevard" An hour OF so before
the game commences. peanuts. pop

They know what 10 expect. It is not
long before their pockets Jingle with
nickels and dimes, in exchange for their
wares. This passage is also used by the
general public. 1t is a quick way TO
Florida Avenue. and the citizens OF the
northeast section of the city DO not fail
TO use -.
Church Alley is another unpatented
means by which many persons in Wash
ington save valuable minutes, and more
valuable energy. Church Alley is To-
Gated betvyeen Seventeenth Street and
Connecticut Avenue, and runs from
Rhode Island Avenue TO y Street. II

A GNELD,S LIFE FOOO

Physicians speak of fat food as "life
food" and say that all children ought to
have it in abundance, They say too that
weak thin, nervous children MUST have fat
food and recommend SCOTS Emulsion.
1t promptly returns sickly, delicate
children to rosy health. 1t is the life of
Aesh-creating food and keeps the scale OF
chiId-health evenly balanced.
Being prepared for easy digestion
SCOTS Emulsion is readily accepted by the
stomach and quickly passed into the blood.
There commences at once the repairing Of
wasted tissues, the enrichment Of the blood
and the Strengthening of the whole system
Any child who needs more and better
nourishment than it seems to be getting
from its ordinary food will be greatly
benefited if given SCOTS Emulsion:

Two times seven thou art today,

Time speeds upon his winged way
Around his cycles. day by day
Swift as the rushing water
But yesterday thou vert child
Today a maiden fair.
Thou'st many a weary hour beguird
with song and kiss and laughter wild
And banished many a care.
But lol the years have chang'd the
scenes.
DAYS agone, are mem'ries now,
BY all that love or hope e'er means,
To papa thou art queen OF queens,
More fair than royal brow.
What e'er thy fate this thought en-

Keep pure thy heart thy childhood's
grace
A wreath OF smiles, bright sweet

The world will smile with thee.
There's much OF weeping, much OF
woe.
OF sunny smiles too few.
Make heavy hearts TO lighter grow,
And pale. sad faces, TO brighter glow
Let sunshine follow you.

God bless thee now-forsake thee

but bear thee on. and onforover
