Looking to the Virginia Side


The movement on the part OF the
Washington business community to IN
dnce manufacturers to locate 10 ano
about the capital city has naturally
directed the attention OF parties inter
ested in manufactures to the south side
Of the Potomac. A writer in a Wash
ington paper makes the following Sensl-
BILE observations:
"On the Virginia side OF ihe Potomac
river, just opposite Washington, lies the
idea place for factories, storehonses,
wholesale markets, SC, with line
water front and railway facilities unsur-
passed. But few 10 this city, am sure,
realize the enormous amount OF money
spent in the pest two or three years, aud
the large amount Of work done between
here and Alexandria by the railroads In
increasing their facilities foF business.
| have often remarked in driVingin from
my country home. near Arlington that
a few years would see the level lands
bordering on the Potomac river alive
with factories of various kinds. which
seems to be natural place for then"

 Most Refreshing, Most NourIshing.
 Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer Is always clean and pure aud nutritious. This Is the reason doctors say that Pabst Blue Ribbon Is really to be preferred above any other beer brewed. There is never any doubt as to its cleanness and the purity of It's ingredients. and it is the most strengthening and refreshing beer because so rich in the food ele- ments of barley malt and the tonic properties of hops.
 It is truly said that Pabst has spent millions of dollars just to insure the absolute cleanness and purity of his product. The immense Pabst Brewery in Milwaukee. built on high land in the residence section of the city-far away from the dirt and dust of the factory and shipping district, is a model of cleanness and the whole Pabst process Is a positive guarantee of an absolutely clean beer. From the time the malt Is mashed. all through the long process of brewing, until you lpour it into your glass. Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer never comes in contact with anything but pure filtered air and thoroughly sterilized brew kettles. pipes, tubes and storage tanks. It Is pasteurized after bottling as a final safeguard against any possibility of contamination.
 choicest of all bottled beers, the most refreshing ard healthful beverage, and should be in your home.

WILL EXAMINE RESERVOIRS.
Mayors Attention Attracted to Possible
 Danger of Poisoning.

Danger of Poisoning.
 Mayor Teague yesterday received a letter from R. E. Lutz. General Agent for the western of Alabama and Att lanta and West Point Railroad. enclos- ing a dispatch from the town of Three Oaks, Mich, which was clipped from a newspaper published in Steuhenville. Ohio The dispatch told of the dis covery of the peculiar origin or an epidemic of typhoid which had stricken down twenty-one persons in the former place.
 The reservoir from which the citi- gems of Three Oaks drew their water supply was uncovered. and on investi- vation it was found that the bodies of several thousand young birds in various stages of decomposition had fallen into the reservoir and poisoned the water. Birds built their nests on the edge of the open reservoir ana it is presumed fell into the water while learning to fly.
 MT. L.utz suggested that the stand pipe in east Montgomery be examined ani covered over and the Mayor di- rected the City Sanitary Department to investigate In speaking of the in- cident Mayor Teague said:
 q am satisfied. however. that there is little danger to be apprehended on that score, owing to the construction of the rim of the reservoir. An inves- tigation will also be made of all other water towers and tanks in the city, and wherever necessary they will be clean ed and covered over.
