In order to build these tracks to Cumber-

blasting entirely destroys the banks of
the waterway making it necessary to re-

to push the work forward insure, it is said,

Interest Centers in legislation.
Considerable interest is manifested by
Georgetown business men in the bill pend
in Congress the purpose of which is to
grant the Baltimore and Ohio railroad the
right to build bridge across the canal on
this side of Chain bridge instead of on the
other side. 1t is stated that if this meas
ure becames a law the railroad company
will Immediately begin work on the branch
of the road that is to run from Chevy
Chase to the river, and cross the canal and
proceed down the low ground between the
canal and the river to Water street in
Georgetown, where freight station is to be
constructed.

opera ton, and it is on this account that
they are watching closely the action of
Congress on the proposed permit. The Bal

be practically impossible to cross the canal
with it's tracks above Chain bridge, owing
to the difficulty that would be experienced
in passing that structure.

FRESH WINTER EGGS.

For the man who can find a method of
producing fresh winter eggs at moderate
cost there is a fortune waiting. w. +.
Robinson of West Derby, Vt, has found
a way, Read what he says: "In look
ing over the record of our hens for the
past six months, we find the production
of eggs per hen far exceeds any previous
year, this too in the face of the very
severe and long-continued cold weather
of January, February and March. Now,
Honor to whom honor is due We at
tribute this very gratifying gain in eggs
to the daily use of Pages Perfected
Poultry Food. We have never used it so
faithfully before and never before had so
satisfactory a winter yield. We intend
to somewhat more than double our pres
ent flock of hens this season and you
may rest assured our orders for poultry
food will be increased in like proportion. "

MULFORO r. BURT
Tells Why He Endorses UinoI So
AiqhIy,

First: - Vinol contains in a concen-
trated form all of the medicinal curative
elements of cod liver oil, actually taken
from fresh Gods livers, but without a
drop of oil to nauseate and upset the
stomach, and retard its work, therefore
where old-fashioned cod-liver oil or
emulsions will do good Vinol will do far
more good.
Second: Because Vinol is not a patent
or secret medicines; it contains no iniuri-
GUS drugs to react upon the system, and
you know just what you are taking, as
everything it contains is printed on the
back label of every bottle.
Third: Because Vinol acts first upon
the stomach, creates healthy appetite,
tones up the digestive organs, purifies
and enriches the blood, and in a natural
manner health is restored, and strength
is created.
Fourth: Since we first put Vinol on
the market our admiration for it has
steadily increased, because it rarely dis
appoints a customer, in fact we can
truthfully say we never sold medicine
more satisfactory to create strength for
old people, weak, sickly women and
children, nursing mothers and to build up
strength after a severe sickness.
Again Vinol is endorsed by eminent
physicians and guaranteed by over two
thousand of the leading druggists of this
country. These are some of the reasons
why we believe in Vinol. Milford r.
Burt, druggist.
