STRENGTHEN THE STOMACH.
Or. Williams Pink Pin. Really Cure

Relieving Symptoms.
There are plenty of remedies by which
you can relieve for the time heartburn,
pain and gas on the stomach and can
smother nervous sensations and induce
artificial sleep. You can humor your
stomach by giving it predigested food.
But when you take your next meal all
your trouble begins afresh.
There is only one sensible thing to do.
Strengthen the stomach and do away
with the necessity for drugs and arti-
fetal foods. The best remedy ever found
for this purpose is the one that was used
by E. f. Strong, of Capleville, Shelby
county. Tenn.
"For years." he states, 81 suffered
greatly from Indigestion. tried many
different remedies and some of them
would relieve me for time, but the
trouble always came back. About six
months ago had an unusually severe
attack. and while 1 tried everything l
had ever heard of, found that none Of
the ordinary remedies would reach the
difficulty this time.

defied all other remedies have been cured
by DIR. Williams Pink Pills. The pills
actually make new blood and strike at the
root of all diseases caused by bad blood.

Legislation Threatened.

Legislation is thrnntenad i'm many
States during this coming winter for
the suppression of the so-called pat
ent' medicines. The success of such
legislation would mean the abolition OF
the home medicine chest and would
force persons. no matter how remote
their homes from physician, to call
in doctor for every minor aiment.
The legislation as proposed would
mean frequent long delays awaiting
the arrival of a physician. when IL sim
pie remedy administered by member
Of the household would accomplish the
result desired, or at least give tempo
rarY relief.

ONE FOR EVERY SCHOOL.
New Chart of Fire Alarm Boxes Is
sued by Chief Belt

Chief Engineer William 7. Belt of the fire
department has placed in service new
fire alarm book. designating 5S7 fire alarm
stations. In the new book he has indicated
a fire alarm station for every public school
building and for every institution coming
under the supervision Of the board of char
tiles Each OF these institutions is now
provided with separate number and from
this day in case OF fire or accident in a
minute or two one or more engines trucks
and assistant chiefs will be speeding on
their way TO the scene.
Chief Belt has long felt the necessity of
placing all safeguard possible around the
school children and inmates of the board Of
charities institutions. In the matter of the
school buildings, where from 200 to 800 pu-
pills. whose ages range from five to four
teen years. attend. he has long felt deep
concern, and likewise In the institutions
where the inmates almost entirely de-
pendent upon the fire department to rescue
them in case of fire.
Chief Belt last October recommended to
the Commissioners that every public school
in the District of Columbia and every in
stitution coming under the supervision of
the board Of charities having telephones in
stalled be given fire alarm station num-
Der, providing the board of education would
pay one-half of the cost of printing and
binding the books. This recommendation
was approved by the Commissioners and

The task of assigning the runs of COM
panleS TO the boxes was very difficult and
tedious. and Chief Belt worked at nights.

the necessary assignments, so that the

best possible protection in case of fire.

GRANT LOSES TITLE.
Cewhurst Defeated Him for Indoor
Tennis Houors

National indoor tennis championship
titles were won yesterday BY E. b. Dew
hurst of the University of Pennsylvania and
the Huntington Valley Country Club in sin
giles. and by T. r. Pell and H. F. Allen of
the New York Lawn Tennis Club in doubles.
The matches in which they gained their
titles and trophies were the finals of the
national tournament. held on the board
courts of the 18th Regiment armory, New
York. for the sixth consecutive year. under
the direction of the United States National
Lawn Tennis Association. Poor light ham
pered the players somewhat.
Dewhurst. who is an Australian, met
Wylie Grant, who has held the title for two
years, in the final round, and defea ted him
in straight sets, G-3. Sc, Ct From the
beginning Dewhurst was successful in han
ding Grants unusually hard service. 1t
was by keeping the ball low at Grants feet
that Dewhurst was enabled to win He did
not allow Grant an opportunity to work in
his overhead smashing 6 -oke. but played
the ball by low drives and volley strokes
for passes and place shots. Grant was
careless about striving to return difficult
balls and because of this Indifference lost
many points Dewhurst tried for every
thing. and. though a little man, pulled
down many a ball that was soaring over
his head by the kangaroo jump" This
match would have gone four sets had not
Grant received several poor decisions by
the linesmen in the second set.

GOOD WRESTLING BOUT.
mystery" Brown Too Clever for
Harvey Terrell.

Harvey Terrell of this city lost the wrest-
ling bout last night at Concordia Hall to
Mystery Brown of Baltimore, who put
the local boys shoulders to the mat twice
The first fall was gained by the Orioe boy
in fifteen minutes and the second in TWEEN
ty-two minutes. There was a small at
tendance to greet the wrestlers. When
Referee p. j. O'Connor announced time
the boys started to rough it. but soon tired
and got down to straight wrestling. Brown
soon showed his superiority in the game
and had Terrell in some very bad holds be-
fore he finally succeeded In placing his
shoulders to the mat. The first fall was
gained by a half Nelson and a chin hold.
In the second bout Brown started to take
things easy. but Terrell stood him off long
cr than the first bout. After about twenty
minutes of wrestling Brown secured a half
Nelson and. planting his knee on Terrell S
other arm. then secured toe hold which
soon wore the local boy down. and the sec
ond fall went TO Brown.
Howard Foley and Carl Locke, two local
boys. went on for the first preliminary and
the former won two falls. The second pre-
liminary was between Joe Turner and Jack
Spalding, who wrestled to a draw.

Racquet Tourney at Tuxedo

An enthusiastic meeting of the students
of George Washington University was held
Yesterday and II was agreed to attend the
meeting at Convention Hall Saturday night
and root as body for the buff and blue
representatives in the several events. The
George Washington boys are anxious to
land many of the prizes. but more especially
the one in which their freshmen meet the
freshmen from the hosts of the night
GEORGETOWN. There will be any amount OF
fire and whoop-it-up in this relay race, and
there is some prospect that the students or
George Washington will carry their new
emblematic banner that was adopted yes
terday at their mass meeting.
For several years Yale has sent It's relay
team to Georgetowns meet, and has been
satisfied with the distance run, 1,44o yards
but this year they Insisted on having IL l. io
yards. This could not be arranged at the
hall so they refused to come, but Prince
ton quickly consented to take Yale's place,
and the chances are that the boys from
Nassau will be given an ovation. George
towns team-McCarthy, Mullfgan, McGettl-
gan and Sullivan-ran fine race on Tues
day at New York, easily defeating Holy
Cross and Fordham. and hence the admirers
of the blue and gray are very much elated
over the prospects of victory from Prince
ton.
The Fort Myer Band will be on hand to
render spirited music. and 1t is stated that
appropriate airs will be played during the
relays that will be applicable to the con-
testants.
The relay race between Columbia and
Cornell will be the hardest fought one of
the evening each now has a victory to
its credit and each wants to win the rub
Der a large delega ton from both places
will be present to witness the struggle.
Another equally hard-fought relay will be
that between our local champions, the Cen
trail High School. and the team from the
Baltimore City College. The Central High
at present has the ia test team in its his
tory. and would run ANY of the big college
teams off their feet.
The signal victory of Dick Dear. the
Washington boy d, Fordham's meet on
Tuesday has frightened up his stock con-
siderabiy. and many predict he will sur
prise some Of the record holders on Satur-
day night He will run under the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania colors.
In order to prevent mistakes Referee
Grant will have the track accura tely meas

preventing any chance of a miSpIay In case
any records are broken.
A very neat and well arranged program
has been gotten out by Students Brennan
and Hayes, which reflects great credit on
the young gentlemen.
The first race will be started promptly at
40 o'clock. in order that all may be run
off before II o'clock, and every one should
be there early, as every contest is going to
be worth seeing.
