be much more satisfactory If sewers

Buildings
The estimated value of buildings con
structed during the year is sf2. .45s. $50.
as against $l3,017, 575 for the preceding
fiscal year. The estimated cost OF the
Union station-S. Oo0. .O0O-was included in
the figures of the preceding year. The
number of permits issued was $50. an
Increase Of 276 over those issued for the
preceding fiscal year The number Of
dwelling houses constructed during the
year was 1,54S, being an increase of 4O4
over the preceding fiscal year. while
the number of apartment houses con-
structed was siXty-eIght. being a de-
crease Of four from the number con-
structed during the preceding fiscal
year.

Parks.


The attention Of Congress Is invited
70 the desirability Of extending through
out the District the system Of small
parks such as now exist within the city
limits. When the city OF Washington
was established parks and reservations
were laid out in the city, but beyond
Florida avenue. the old city boundary.
practically no such parks exist. With
the exception OF Rock Creek Park.
bought about ten years ago. nothing has
been done to extend beyond Florida
avenue the system applied SO successful
ly In laying out the city. The beauty of
the city of Washington, as well as the
health OF its inhabitants. depends very
largely upon these parks. and It would
seem extremely desirable that sys-
tenn OF parks should extend throughout
the District as IL is built up. Imnne-
diateiy outside of Florida avenue.
In such localities as Columbia
Heights, Washington Heights. KaIo-
rama Heights. Mt Pleasant, etc, the
necessity for the establishment Of such
parks is very apparent. as these sec
uons are rapidly building up, so that
the amount Of vacant ground is becom-
ing smaller each year. Immediate ac-
ton In this matter would seem desirable
Steps toward the establishment of a
general park system throughout the
District similar to what is being done
by almost every large city In the United
States should be undertaken as soon as
practicable, especially as to the pur-
chase OF the necessary land Every
citizen OF the United States must be
interested In the beauty Of Washington

set by those who originally laid out the

Bathing Beach.

Inc conditions at the bathing beach
demand immediate Improvement. Al
though more than 5000 persons availed
themselves during the past year of the
privilege afforded at the beach. the fact
remains that the accommodations are
not only totally inadequate, but of the
most primitive character The build
iDgs are old and dilapidated and ought
&c be replaced by a new structure. not
only for the convenience and comfort
of the Patrons OF the beach. but also
because the picture which they now pre-
sent when viewed from the speedway ts
discreditable to the District government.
The Commissioners have. therefore.
estimated for an appropriation OF SIS. 900
to provide an adequate structure equip

German Army Discipline.

Discipline is severe in the German army and the treatment of privates is sometimes unjustifiable. At Dessau a sergeant who had been drinking to ex- cess insulted two young women who were escorted by a couple of men in the ranks. The priyates protested to the minor officer. who drew his sword and attacked them. in his drunkenness wounding one of the girls In the af- fray which followed the sergeant was disarmed and felled to the floor. All three were put on trial.

WORTH REMEMBERING.

There are three entirely different Kinds of ingredients used in making the three different varieties of baking powders on the market. viz: CD Min eral-Acid or Alum. t2) Bone Acid or Phosphate, and (3) Cream of Tartar made from grapes. It is important, from the standpoint of health, to know something about these ingredients. and which kind is used in your baking powder.
 CD Mmcrdl-Acid. or Alum. is made from kind Of clay. This is mixed with diluted oil of vitriol and from this solution a product is obtained which is alum. Alum is cheap; costs about two cents a pound, and baking powder made with this Mineral-Acid sells from 10 to 25c. a pound.
 i2) B0Re-icid, or Phosphate. is the basis of phosphate baking powders and the process is fully described in the patents issued to a large manu- facturer of phosphate powder. The l. $. Patent Office Report gives a full and exact description, but the follow ing extract is enough:
 Burned bones. after being ground,
 are put into freshly diluted oil of
 yitriol and with continual stirring
 and in the following proportion"
 etc.
 From this Bone-Acid phosphate bak- ixg powders are made; such powders sell from 20 to 30 cents a pound.

Alter the wine is drawn off the tartar IS scraped from the cask. boiled with water and crystals of Cream of Tar tar, white and very pure, separate and are collected. It differs in no respect from the form in which it originally existed in the grape. Cream of Tar lar, then, while the most expensive. is The only ingredient that should be used in baking powder to act upon the soda, as its wholesomeness is beyond question. Cream of Tartar baking powders sell at about 10 to 90 cents a pound
 Such are the facts. and every one careful of the health of the family should remember this rule:-Baking powders selling from 10 to 9 cents a pound are made of Mineral-A cids. those selling from 20 to 30 cents of Bone-Acid; and those from 40 to 50 cents of Cream of Tartar made from grapes
