HEARD ONLY IN AMERICA.
English Newspaper criticises Our
Use of the Phrase "Say''-Its
Real Meaning.

An American story in Office VIM
dow began. as many American stories
begin, with SAY" Now, how many
English readers know the person and
the tense Of the American say?
Does IL stand for tell me" or for
Il say? For the first there is the
familiar French analogy, the dis" OF
the perpetual question Of the French
child, and The "dites" Of common talk
in later life. But a correspondent
who had for half a lifetime read the
American story in this sense was
obliged 10 change il for the vulgar
and exceedingly silly and quite SUI
perfiuous phrase of our own streets.
For he put the matter to Americans
in America, and they all assured him
that say" was nothing but Il say
further vulgarized. And yet tell
me" is a beginning that has won
man more friends than any other
opening in the customs of conversa-
ton. Nothing in the world makes a
new acquaintance go more favorably.

Necessity for Statute.


Following the presentation of the sum-
mary of the results accomplished, the sub
committee again directed attention to the
matter in the form of a resolution in which
the absolute necessity for an adequate
statute was emphasized. 1t was adopted
by the full committee, with the recommen-
dalton that the two principal medical So
cieties of the District be invited to CO.
operate. What was regarded as suitable
bill was drawn, and conferences with the
medical societies were held, but the decla-
ration made in the published booklet Is
that the Medical Society refused to indorse
the bill unless the specification for free
examination of sputum was eliminated.
That was done for the sake of harmony,
but the representatives of the society fur
Their insisted that the reporting of all cases
of tuberculosis be modified to include only
reports of INDECENT cases and those con-
fined to institutions
A copy of the bill, which is now before
Congress, is included In the book, and spe-
cial attention is called to one section which
binds the health authorities to hold reports
of tuberculosis absolutely private and
makes violation of the provision punishable
by as full penalty as that provided for
violation Of any other clause in the bill.
Still another section leaves 1t entirely to
the discretion Of the physician attending a
case of consumption whether printed In
structions for prevention OF the spread OF
the disease be furnished the patient.
1t Is stated that the completed bill con-
tains substantially all the changes desired
by the medical societies except a. to the

TRANSFER OF THE COST
MATTER OF PAYING FOR CON-
= DEFAMATION OF PROPERTY.

1t is regarded as probable that owners OF
unsafe or condemned property will in fu-
ture be required to pay the fees of the
members of the board of survey, which
expense has up to the present time fallen
upon the District. Such transfer of ex-
pense is favored by the Commissioners, and
Inspector Ashford of the building depart
ment has been directed to consider the
question in connection with the revision of
the building regulations. Z
According to the present system, each
time an inspection Of property is made by
the board of survey, which Is composed of
three men, each member receives a fee OF
SO. The act of March 1, 1899, provides that
| the building inspector shall report the cost
and expense of the work of tearing down or
repairing unsafe buildings to the board OF
District Commissioners, whose duty 1t shall
| be to assess the same against the property
| The question of transfer arose recently as
| to whether the expense Shall be limited to
the amount actually paid for making the
| building safe or tearing it down, OF
whether 1t shall be interpreted to include
necessary incidental expenses incurred by
| the work. such as the fees to the three
members of the survey board.
BY direction of the Commissioners, Cor
poration Counsel Thomas rendered an opin-
| ion yesterday to the effect that the act
| should be amended before the fees of the
| board of survey can be charged against
| the property owner as a proper item of ex-
| pense. The Commissioners it Is said, viii
| have the amendment suggested by Mr.
| plan of transfer is reported upon favor
| ably by Building Inspector Ashford and the
| special committee which is at work revis
| ing the building regulations.

What Sulphur Does
For the Human Body in Health and
Disease.
COSTS NOTHING TO TRY.

The mention of sulphur will recall to many Of US
the early days when mothers and grandmothers
gave us our daily dose Of sulphur and molasses
every spring and fall
1t was the universal spring and fall blood
purifier" tonic and cure-ail, and mind you. this
old fashioned remedy not without merit
The idea was good. but the remedy was crude
and unpalatable. and large quantity had to be
taken to get any effect.
Nowadays we get all the beneficial effects of
sulphur in a paatable. concentrated form. so that
q single grain Is far more enective tnan table
spoonful of the crude sulphur.
In recent years research and experiment have
proven that the best sulphur for medicinal use II
that obtained from Calcium Calcium Sulphide) and
sold in drug stores under the name of Stuart Q
Calcium Waters. They are small chocolatecoated
pellets and contain the active medicinal principle
Of sulphur in q highly concentrated. effective form.
Few people are aware of the value Of this form
Of sulphur in restoring and maintaining bodily
vigor and health; sulphur acts directly on the
liver and excretory organs and purifes and en-
riches the blood BY the prompt elimination OF
waste material.
Our grandmothers knew this when they dosed us
with sulphur and molasses every spring and fall,
but the crudity and impurity Of ordinary flowers
of sulphur were often worse than the disease. and
cannot compare with the modern concentrated
preparations Of sulphur, Of which Stuarts Calcium
Waters is undoubtedly the best and most widely
used.
They are the natural antidote for liver and kid
ney troubles and cure constipation AMI purify the
blood in a way that often surprises patient and
physician alike.
Dr. r. NJ wilkins, while experimenting with
sulphur remedies, found that the sulphur
from Calcium was superior to any other form. He
says: ''For liver, kidney and blood troubles. espe
cially when resulting from constipation malaria,
have been surprised at the results obtained from
Stuart's Calcium Waters. In patients suffering
from boils and pimples and even deep-seated car
buncles. have repeatedly seen them dry up and
disappear in four Ave days. leaving the skin
clear and smooth. Although Stuarts Calcium
Waters is a proprietary article and sold by drug
gists and for that reason tabooed by many physi-
clans, yet knew Of nothing 70 safe and reliable
for constipation. liver and kidney troubles. and
especially In all forms Of sin diseases. as this
remedy"
At any rate. people who are tired Of pills, ca
thartics and so-called blood purifiers" win find
In Stuart's Calcium Waters far safer. more pal.

NIAGARA FALLS IN DANGER.
Plan to Divert 40 Per Cent. OF Wa
ter Going Over American Side
Meets with RemOnstrnnce.


Washington, April ga remon-
STRANGE against the recommendations
Of the international waterways COM
mission regarding the diversion of the
water of Niagara river at the falls OF
Niagara was filed with President
Roosevelt Wednesday by officers OF the
American Civic association and the
Merchants association Of New York.
The commission recommend that legts-
lation be enacted authorizing the di-
version of $4,000 cubic feet of water
per second. The remonstrance urges
that the diversion Of the, amount of
water would divert 48 per cent of the
water going over the American falls
and would materially diminish the
beauty of the cataract.
Although the president had approved
the recommendations of the commits
sion In a message to congress, he
regarded the remonstrance as import
ant and promised his callers to refer
the subject to Secretary Taft and to
members of the commission.

THE RUssOcHIHEsE TREATY.
Negotiations Regarding NcrtheFu
Manchuria Seem to Have
Reached . Deadlock.

Pelxin, April 6.-The Russo-C Chinese
negotiations appear to have reached
deadlock. At any rate they are
dragging along slowly. M. Pokottloff
the Russian minister to China, and
Tong, the Chinee commissioner aD-
pointed to negotiate an agreement
with Russia regarding northern Man
churia, have conferred only two OF
three times during the past month.
Russia has the upper hand because
she holds nearly all the privileges
she contends for while demanding
that China oficially grant them. The
Chinese on the contrary were never
so determined to Withstand all for
eign encroachments. Both parties
are trying to keep the details as Sc
cret as was the case with the Chinese
Japanese treaty. One bone of conten-
ton is believed to be the mining AMI
other concessions which the Tartar
generals In Manchuria gave to Rus
sian corporations and which Rlssi,
wants the Chinese government to rat
lily. The Chinese, however, insist tho
their government never sanctione,
these concessions and that therefore
they are invalid.
