0 WORK STARTED.

Tho members of the Board of Health
showed the citizens that there is work
to be done in their line of business, at
their meeting Tuesday night. Sever
al important matters we're taken up
and more may be expected at the naxt
meeting. The Board of Health is an
important body in any city. There is
plenty of work it car do to improve
the condition of the place. The fact
that ii has attacked some of these
evils is encouraging and the members
should have the hearty cooperation of
the city at large.
The habit many men have of expec-
torating in public places is common
in every city and is one difficult to
break up. That it is an evil, none
will deny and if the Board of Health
can improve conditions even a little
their efforts will not have been in
vain.
There r other matters, however,
easier TO get at which should receive
attention. Many n%uisances exist
which are not reported, but which
should BIZ abated. The members might
inspect the city lookup and pass their
opinion upon that. The condition of
many streets is something else to
which they might devote some atten-
tion. There is lots of work and now
that the board has started, the people
look for a continuation of it.

Penalty for Violation.

The bill recently approved by the Dis
trict Commissioners providing for the

The action was taken by the Commits

them by Senator Gallinger, written by
H. S Brinkerhon. OF 34Ss Holmead Ave

bin as recently approved would work a
hardship on many owners Of unim-
proved lots in remote portions Of the
District. where there was no real ne
cessity for removing the snow or ice.
He also said II IS practically an impos-
sibility to obtain men who will go out

The Cars desire for peace is opposed
by strong interests. if not by downright
intrigue. The majority of the grand

opposing the concession of what they
consider the impertinent demands of an
Asiatic power. Considerations of pres

has been comforting with the Internal
Revenue Bureaua and with Secretary
Shaw in regard 10 legislation which he
desires TO have Congress enact fixing
s. a year as the rate for a license tn
druggists to sell alcohol.
The present arrangement requires
druggists to take out a liquor license,
costing S25 a year. in order to sell al
cohol. The druggists of New York
and elsewhere think that in case they
want to sell alcohol and no other spirits.
they should be granted the concession
of a lower license fee. Secretary Shaw

PENSION MEASURE
MEANS $5O,OOO,OOO
Extra Expense to the Fed
eral Government.
100000 VETERANS REJOICE
Then There's an Uncertain Number of
Widows Who Must Also Be
Provided For.

At least $50. 900 extra expense TO the
Government is the figure which it Is
admitted by pension officials will be rep
resented in the passage of the service
pension bin now before Congress.
No exact statement of the amount can
be obtained, especially in view OF the
fact that the pension officials themselves
cannot discuss 1t publicly. In taking
of the matter yesterday Acting Commits
sioner Of Pensions Davenport confirmed
a statement which was recently made
in the Senate by Senator Gallinger, for
mer chairman Of the Committee on Pen
sions. that SIS. 600 900 was the smallest
figure at which the service pension pro-
posal could be covered.
Pensions for All.
In forming this estimate the Acting
Commissioner took into consideration
the last yearly report, which give 10000
as the number of veterans not now
drawing pensions. BY the legislation
now pending In Congress. these veter-
ans are all TO receive $144 a year, and II
is easy to see that for this fund alone
abo.it S29 OOO. 900 will be required. Then
there is the uncertain number ef widows
who were married to veterans before
1890. but who are not now getting pen
sion. This item must be counted sor a
few millions more.
But still greater element in the cal
culation is the fact that this scheme
would lift all pensions of veterans row
receiving less than $12 a month up to
that figure. 1t is shown by the figures
in Acting Commissioner Davenport $
hands that approximately 1900 pen
sioners are now drawing Sc a month,
"a. 900 are drawing $775, and 1900 are
drawing SO with about 5000 more rang
Ing in between.
