while grouped around on the lawns were
thousands of persons listening to the excel

incandescent lights made the grounds as
light as day and later in the evening an
exhibition of fireworks added to the pictur-
esqueness of the scene The car service
was entirely adequate, and 1t would seem
that all difficulties that have existed in this
regard had been obviated. All the attrac-
tons were patronized to the limit. Cars on
the scenic railway were run on a half-m:n-
and not the slightest accident or incident
occurred The carousel was perhaps the
center of interest for the many hundreds
of children, and this particular form of
amusement was kept going until late
hour. In the palm garden Frederick Ben

day with his illustrated songs, given in con-
junction with series of moving pictures

Town Council Discusses Proposed
Operation of Wildwood Railroad.

A special meeting Of the town council Of
Takoma Park. Nd. was held Friday night at
the residence of the town clerk, Ben G
Davis. The meeting was presided over by
Mayor J. B. Kinnear, with the following
members Of the council present: J. B. Der
rick, c. w. Scudder. Isle Morrison, E. e.
Blodgett and Town Clerk Ben. G.. Davis.
The meeting was called for the purpose
of discussing the question of operating the
Baltimore and Washington Transit Com
pany, otherwise known the Wildwood
railroad, the control of which recently re-
verted to the authorities of Takoma Park.
A proposition was received from for
mer employee of the proprietors of the Wild
wood resort, agreeing to act as super1n-
tendent and to assume management of the
road, at a stated figure. He was present at
the meeting last night and impaired i'm
portant information to the mayor and
council relative to the operating expenses
of the road in the past. and also to It's
future outlook. The road. ii is said, has
never been on a paying basis. except during
a few months in the summer, and the rev.
enues of the summer have not been Sufii-
cient to defray the running expenses during
the winter. The matter of cash fares cou-
pons and several styles of tickets was
thoroughly discussed.
The council was informed that the resort
Is still in the hands of receivers and no
efforts are being made to improve the Wild
wood property. The proposition received
was filed for further consideration at q
later meeting of that body.
Mayor kinnear appointed a committee,
composed of three members of the council.
to canvass that section of the park through
which the road passes and obtain informa-
ton to the needs and wishes Of the for
mer patrons of the road, to learn what H.
nancial support may be expected from the
residents. The committee was composed OF
Councilmen ]. B. Derrick. chairman; c. w.
Scudder and Cassell Severance.

the Wildwood pool room we've taken down

thus closing one of the most interesting
legal battles ever fought in the history OF
Takoma Park. The Wildwood property 10
deserted, the wires are all down and the
town of Takoma, 1t Is considered has been
victorious. For the past three days men
have been engaged in cutting the wires
which were attached to the trolley poles OF
the Wildwood road running to the resort,
and when the work was completed yester-
day three huge spools were turned over
to the town.

SHE HIT THE NAIL ON The HEAD
Who Says a woman Cant Do III

A lady living in Providence, R. l.,
whose eighteen-year-old son was
taken down with stomach and bowel
troubles during the hot spell in
June, has had an excellent oppor-
tunity to know the wonderfully bene-
fetal results from the use of Abbey's
Salt of Fruits in just such cases.
She did not fool with drugs, did
not pay a dollar for doctors bills,
but with woman's keen wit she hit
the nail squarely on the head by CIV
ing her boy the natural tonic laxa-
tive and stomach corrector, Abbey's
Efervescent Salt of Fruits. The
lady says:
when my boy was taken i'll and
seemed on the verge of mental col
lapse, l at once gave him Abbey's
Salt of Fruits, which | had used my
self with excellent results many
times before | was not surprised to
see how quickly his entire system
responded to the magical power of
your wonderful remedy. In ten
days his stomach and bowels were
as strong as ever, and he is now in
perfect health. | am filled with
gratitude and admiration for the
wonderful properties contained in
Abbey's Effervescent Salt, which on
several occasions has brought hap
piness into my family"
