--Sam'l Jenkin and wife returned
from their honeymoon trip Monday
evening. Mr.. Jenkin one of our active
business men, and Mrs. Allie Stephens

Rev. Nj. Chase at 6 O'Clock on the
morning of the 9Th inst. and embarked
on their trip Immediately thereafter.

That our city fathers failed to bring

smaller, but what can boast of such
lights A few arc lights, properly To-
Gated, would prove all right here, sure.

Excellent Home Treat
ment for Consumption
and Throat Troubles.

The camps for tuberculosis patients In the pine
forests of Maine, established by the Philadelphia
specialist, have demonstrated a new and wonder
fully successful phase in the treatment OF pulmo-
nary diseases. The method pursued has gained
almost universal recognition among the medical
profession.
In an interview recently by New York news
paper representative some information that will
prove of immense value TO the public In general
was given out.
The remarkable stimulating effect on the respira-
tory organs by the resinous atmosphere OF the pine
forest has been a matter of great interest to the
medical world and that doctors in general would
have long since awaited themselves of the great
curative merits Of the pine sap had they been able
to obtain its active principle freed from the many
deleterious matters with which 1t Is associated by
nature This has been one Of the achievements of
the work In the forest camps and he has produced
what is known to the medical fraternity as Con-
centrated oil of pine. II this preparation be used
in connection with plenty of outdoor exercise and
the habit of taking deep. long breaths every few
minutes patients will have all the advantages of
the pine forest camps right at their own homes and
the most effective remedy Obtainable for any case
of lung trouble that is not too far advanced and
cure for any cough that is durable. The formula
as originally prescribed is the following "One-half
ounce Concentrated oil of pine; two ounces Of gly
eerine; eight ounces of good whiskey. 1t should
be shaken thoroughly and taken in tablespoon doses
every four hours"
The ingredients can be procured from any we'll
stocked prescription druggist. Care should be
taken to secure only the Concentrated" oil Of
ounce walls and inclosed in small round screwtop
cases which protect 1t from heat and light. The
ordinary bulk oil Of pine is useless owing to the
foreign matter that 1t contains; likewise the patent
medicine limitations labeled "Oil Of Pine They
only produce nausea and tail in specific results.

clared it could serve the purpose of clear
ing the river, and further appropriations
would be unnecessary. The f1reboat Is so
constructed that 1t answers the purpose of
an iceboat fairly well. 1t is said. although
the craft has not had a good opportunity
to demonstrate it's worth in this respect
since it was put into commission, owing to
the lack Of heavy Ice on the river.
In 1905, when the last appropriation was
made "for clearing the Potomac river Of
ice," the winter was a mild one, and the
Commissioners were able to save q consid-
cradle portion of the $4,000. Last winter
a portion of the remaining fund was used,
and today there is a balance of $2,14109.
Commissioner Mcfarland stated today
that II he finds the ice conditions to be
alarming he will put two or three tugs into
commission to aid the fireboat in breaking
up the foe and adopt such other steps as
may be necessary.

NAVIGATION IMPEDED
ICE IN THE RIVER OCCASIONS
FEAR OF OVERFLOW.

There is no prospect of an immediate re-
sumption of navigation on the Potomac by
sidewheel steamers and sailing vessels, as
the ice down river Ia still packed several
feet deep at points from Fort Washington
to Maryland Point. The warm weather Of
yesterday slightly softened the ice on the
surface, but last night 1t was cold enough
to make ice, and skim formed on all open
water on the river. the floating cakes being
knitted together. The Norfolk line steamer
arrived here this morning practically on
time and the tug Cushing from Fort Wash
ington and the big tugs from the navy yard
made their regular trips.
The steamer Estelle Randall with mail
opuches aboard for points on the river
left here on her regular schedule this
morning and will go down far as Mar
shall Hall. No attempt will be made just
yet to send here through to Glymont, or to
start the river-line steamers. 1t has been
ten days since the last sailing vessel was
towed into port.
While the harbor this morning was en-
tirely free of Ice, and the ice from near the
Long bridge to below Alexandria was float
ing with the tide, above the bridges and
about Georgetown 1t is still solid and ranges
in thickness from four inches to eight or
nine inches. Should this mass of frozen
water get a rushing start down the river
it would perhaps jam at the bridge and
back the water up through the big sewer
that empties into the river at the foot OF
18th street This would possibly flood some
of the low-lying sections of the city. There
seems to be- however, no immediate danger
of this and there will be none unless there
should come a spell Of warm weather and
rain for several days.
On Inspecting Tour.
Accompanied by Chief Belt of the fire de-
partment, Commissioner Macfarland board
ed the fire boat "Firefghter'' this afternoon
and steamed up the Potomac river to in
spect the ice conditions with view of TAX
ing such steps might be necessary to
break up the thick layers of ice and gorges
that have formed during the recent cold
SPELL Mr.. Mcfarland was prompted to
make this trip as the result Of information
that fear Is felt by those along the river
front that some damage might be caused
should the ice begin to thaw.
1t was said by rivermen today that II
sudden thaw sets In gOrges will be formed
quickly and will cause the river to back up

The freboat Firefghter is the official ice
boat of the District In fact, 1t is the only
means the District has Of breaking the ice,
inasmuch as since 1905 no appropriation
for the purpose has been made by Congress.
