ABANDON THE IDEA
OF ASPHALT PLANT

In view of the fact that the appro-
priatiOn bin for the fiscal year COM
menclng July /, 1907. for the District OF
Columbia, just enacted by Congress.
raised the limit Of payment for sheet
asphalt from Sl.65 to $50 per square
yard, the Board of Commissioners will
abandon the proposed establishment OF
an asphalt plant to supply the District
with material.
The Commissioners believe at the ad-
vanced price they can obtain all the
high-grade sheet asphalt needed Tor the
construction Of new streets and tho
repair Of old streets. There is an an
preparation of $4,000 for this work. Il
has been idle since last year by reason
of the fact that they could not secure
bids for the work under the limitation
OF the act Of Congress.
Congress to facilitate the construction
OF certain streets cut out the recon-
incubation OF the Commissioners for an
asphalt plant and raised the price OF
sheet asphalt.

achieved. For the past As years Mrs
LiZabeth a. Turner had devoted her life
to the interests of the Union soldiers;
her thoughts, her plans. her best en-

AS visitor to the Soldiers Home in

one of the three delegates to the meet

suited in the formation of the National

Her great executive ability was man.
ifest in many other official positions,
which she was called upon to fill. But
the browning glory of all her work is
seen at Andersonville, the historic
grounds of which have been made to
blossom as rose under her watchful

Keep the Balance Up.

1t has been truthfully said that any
disturbance of the even balance of
health causes serious trouble. Nobody
can be too careful to keep this balance
up. When people begin to lose appetite,
or to get tired easily, the least impru-
dence brings on sickness, weakness or
debility. The system needs tonic,
Graves it. and should not be denied it;
and the best tonic of which we have any
knowledge is Hoods Sarsaparilla. What
this medicine has done in keeping
healthy people healthy. in keeping up
the even balance of health. gives ii
the same distinction as preventive that
it enjoys as a cure. It's early use has
illustrated the wisdom of the old saying
that a stitch in time saves nine. Take
Hoods for appetite, strength, and en-
durance.
