Even pools Of water were swept away,
but TO no purpose.
1t did not seem possible that il

feet, although the street for half a
square was carefully scrutinized
That evening the missing coin was
found at least five miles away.

Right Food Makes Happy Children BE.

Sometimes milk does not agree with
children or adults. The same thing Is
true Of other articles Of food. What
agrees with one sometimes does not
agree with others.
But food can be SO prepared that it
will agree with the weakest stomach.

A lady writes from the land Of the

When President Roosevelt was 60

through Thlrtyfourth street, the chief

who saluted him.
AS the mounted policemen who rode

Suddenly the man with the mega.

is shown by the financial statemen:
for the postal service incorporated in
the annual report Of E. c. Madden,
Third Assistant Postmaster General,
for the fiscal year ended June 80, 1904
The report shows, however, that the
increase in expenditures is on account
OF the rural free delivery service. Were
il not for this extraordinary expendi-
tnre, the postal service would now be
about self-sustaining. The total receipts
from all sources for the fiscal year

pointed at the last meeting of the Business
Mems Association to consider and report
upon plans for the betterment Of the street
car service of the city was held at the office
of Mr.. L. J. Jackson, chairman, yesterday
afternoon. The committee had three ques-
lions to consider that were developed by
complaints of citizens. They were the lack of
closed cars on the Columbia line, running
on II street and New York avenue; the I'M
suitable waiting rooms on the Brightwood
line and the intervals between cars on the
BrightwOod and Tenleytown roads.
Owing to the fact that large number of
closed cars were placed on the Columbia
line yesterday indicating an effort on the
part of the railroad company to meet the
necessity, 1t was decided that before pro-
ceeding further the committee should call
on the officers of the company and learn
what they will do toward lettering the car
service on the various lines. To this end
Mr.. Barry Buckley, secretary of the Bust
ness Mems Association, was deputed to ar
range for meeting late this afternoon be-
tween the committee and the proper off,
Gals of the railroad company, at which the
matter will be presented by the committee
and the intentions of the traction company
learned
1t was agreed. however, that in any event
the committee will press upon Congress the
necessity for legislation to regulate the ia
cilitieS provided for rapid transit In this
city. 1t will urge the passage of the bill
now before Congress. which was formulated
by the Commissioners in 1902, and Is at
present in the hands of the District commit
tee. Several additions and notifications
will be suggested. including provision re-
quiring heated waiting rooms at the 7th
and Florida avenue junction and other
proper points the suburban lines
A meeting will be called, In which the
special committee and the committees of the
various citizens associations having to deal
with the question, will participate, at which
the needs of various sections will be
presented and suggestions received The
business mems committee will be guided to
some extent by the suggestions so received
and will have a clearer understanding of
the deficiencies of the transit system
