WASTE OF WATER.
Street Sprinkling Regulation Not
Generally Understood.

In connection with the recent discussion
or the matter of watering lawns and the
penalty for using water for this purpose
during unauthorized hours. 1t seems, an
official OF the engineer department said to-
day that the regulations are not generally
understood. By an order OF the Commits
sioners which Is printed CT the back of all
water bills, street washers are allowed to
De used only between the hours of o'clock
and o'clock pm. and 8 o'clock and s
O'Clock a. m. and by section g. article XIV
or the police regulations any person In the
District of Columbia who shall use water
from street washer for the purpose of
watering lawns or streets at any other time
than during the specified hours shall be
liable to fine OF not more than IS for each
and every suoh offense. 1t makes no differ
ence whether water is paid for under the
ordinary domestic rates by the number Of
stories and front feet of a dwelling. or
under the schedule OF business rates, or by
meter, the law applies to the use Of water
for this specific purpose.
1t Is said to be a mistaken idea of some
people that because they pay for water by
meter rates they allowed to use and
waste as much they please and when
they please. AS has been frequently stated
there Is abnormal per capita consump-
ton and waste of water in the District of
Columbia and 1t Is to check the waste and
careless use that water meters are primarily
intended. Meters. of course. are very desir-
able in that person pays for only such
water as Is used. whereas under the ordi-
nary domestic rates by the number of
stories and front feet the charge can only
be arbitrary as there may be more fixtures
and a different use in two houses of the
same dimensions. but 1t is to prevent waste
that the water meter is most useful.

to awaken enthusiasm among Irishmen liv-
ing here in the preservation Of the Ian
guase and individual characteristics of the

The lecturer said Ireland Is in Its last
struggle to preserve its national identity

full of Irish heritage"
He pleaded for rebirth of the Imaginative
and esthetic life of Ireland the molding of
new national ideals and the creation Of a
high ideal along distinctive lines. Material
progress, he held. Is not all for which q ma
ton should strive. He urged a return to
the best national traditions and told of the
encouraging results which have already
been obtained in this direction.
In the opinion of the speaker this move
ment for the preservation of Irish individu-
ality presents neutral ground upon which
spirit Of Observation-Disclosures Catholic

landlord and tenant. The watchword of all
Will be ireland nation, not an English
country"
When the league undertook Its work. DR..
Hyde stated, a ban existed against teaching
the Gaelic language generally, but 1t is now
taught to about 100000 school children, and
1t has been generally introduced in colleges
universities and academies throughout the
country. The converts to the movement he
said, are enthusiastic.

The Blind Historian.

William Hickling Prescott. who was
born at Salem, Mass, on the 18th of
May, 1896, was the son of Il prosper
Gus lawyer, entered Harvard college in
1911 and graduated in 1914. Early in
his college career he had his left eye
blinded by piece of bread piayfully
thrown at him by fellow student. and
the other eye soon became sympathet
ically affected. He Travelled in Eng
land, France and Italy and then de
voted himself to severe study, but it
was not till the beginning of 1926 that
he found the work of his life within
the range of Spanish history. Fortu-
nately his means We're ample, so that
be was able to procure the services of
assistants and to live amid conditions
of comfort. BY constant haiti he gain
ed the power of carrying Il great deal
in his memory, and after he had rcvolv
ed the whole of Il chapter in his mind
he quickly transferred it to paper by
means of his stylus and an ingenious
writing case especially constructed for
the blind. He published his History of
Ferdinand and Isabella" in 1888. which
carried his name across the ocean to
the old world. This was followed by
his History of the Conquest of Next
co.. in 1913, and of Peru in 1917.
These gave him Il great reputation.

a Fruitarian Diet

4 fruitarian diet consists of the
fruits of trees Qike apples, oranges,
bananas and olives, the fruits of bush
es Qike currants and raspberries), the
fruits of plants Qike strawberries and
melon, lentils and beans and cucum-
bers), the fruits of grasses Qike wheat
and barley and maize and OATS, the
fruits of nut trees from filbert to CO.
coanuD, together with some earth
fruits Qike potatoes), and a modicum of
vegetables and salads. To these may
be added butter, milk. honey and
cheese, although their production is not
so free from risk of contamination and
animal infection as is the case with the
products of the vegetable kingdom and
the world of fruits. Grown under
healthy conditions. with diseased speci-
mems easy to detect and remove, it is
far more possible to live healthily and
well upon a fruitarian dietary than
upon the products of the slaughter
house.

Unless early and correct treatment is
applied the patient seldom survives
when once the disease is fastened upon
her. We believe Lydia E. Pinkham' S
Vegetable Compound is the most eff
cient treatment for chronic kidney
trout les of women, and is the only med
icine especially prepared for this
purpose.
When a woman is troubled with pain
or weight in loins, backache, frequent,
painful or scalding urination, swelling
of limbs or feet, swelling under the
eyes, an uneasy, tired feeling in the
region of the kidneys or notices a
sediment in the urine, she should
lose no time in commencing treatment
with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, as it may be the means of
saving her life.
For proof, read what Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound did for Mrs.
Sawyer.
