DOESN'T LIKE OUR METHODS
WESTERN MAYOR CRITICISES
WASHINGTON STREETS.
Engineer Commissioner Morrow In
dulges in Some Remarks by
Way Of Response.

Mayor McVickar of Des Moines. Iowa, 10
In Washington and, it Is said has taken 1t
upon himself TO crfticise with considerable
vigor the street cleaning and street paving
and general appearance of the thorough
fares here. He called at the District build
ing yesterday afternoon to see the Com
mfssioners to tell them OF his disapprovai.
Commissioner Morrow said tods- but they
were out. Commissioner Morrow has given
out the following statement In answer to
the mayors criticism and in defense Of the
city:
Il am very sorry that Mayor McVickar
OF Des Moines did not send up his card
when he called at the District building yes
terday afternoon. for / would have been
very glad to see him and talk over the sit
uatbon In regard to sidewalks and pave
ments. which he criticises so severely. and
doubtless would have been able to give him
considerable Information. / have never had
the good fortune to inspect the pavements
of Des Mofnes nor of Omaha, but / have
seen Kansas City and Chicago and Am
willing to state that a comparison OF the
payements and sidewalks of Washington
With those of these two cities unfayorable
to washington Is not really worthy of
serious consideration.
Congress Fails to Provide Funds.
THE engineer department Is willing to
admit that the condition of some of the
roadway pavements. of Washington Is a
great deal worse than 1t should be, but Il
is believed the people know that the reason
for this is that Congress has not seen fit to
concur in the Commissioners recommenda-
tons for increased appropriations for re-
pairs until last year, which has given us
too short time to catch up
within the last two or three years /
have visited the cities of Boston, New
York. Jersey City. Brooklyn. Pfttsburg Bal
tfmore, Allegheny. Cleveland Detroit ST.
Louis. Kansas City. Chicago, Philadelphia
Richmond. and other large cities I'm the
country. and can say with perfect conf
dence that not a single one OF these cities
has the best Of the capital with respect to
the condition of its curbs and side wa ks
and very few of them In the condition of
Its roadway pavements taken as a whole
"Our pavements are not satisfactory as
regards their state of repair, but IT Is hoped
that Congress Will see fit to grant US the
greater appropriations which we will again
request this year. 1t is our desire to have
our payements not only equal to those OF
any other municipality, but. If possible
considerably superior, as II Is believed that
the Capital of the nation in this branch
of municipal Improvement should be, IL
possible, just a little better than the best.

supposedly by a woman. The motive
for the crime is a mystery. but the fact
that a veiled woman carrying a smok
ing revolver was seen near the scene OF
the crime shortly before the body was
found. indicates Williams met his death

The Rev. Mr. WILLIAMS who came
from PaUagOuld, Ark. where ne had
made his headquarters for the last If
teen years, had a checkered career in
the South. He had been in difficulties
in several cities in Arkansas and Louisi-

satchel, IL is alleged by his relatives
here, was the sum Of 800 IN currency
The money was not found when the
body was discovered.
Bloodhounds were placed on three
trails which may give a clue to the
murderer within few hours.

SOAKED IN COFFEE
Until too Stiff to Bend ovgr.

when I drank coffee I often had sick
headaches, nervousness and biliousness
much Of the time but when I went to
visit a friend I got in the habit Of
drinking Postum.
I gave up coffee entirely and the re-
suit has been that I have been entirely
relieved Of all my stomach and nervous
trouble
Ny mother was just the same way
We all drink Postum now and without
coffee in the house for 2 years. we are
all well.
"A neighbor Of mine, a great coffee
drinkcr. was troubled with pains in her
side for years and was an invalid. She
was not able TO do her work and could
not even mend clothes or do anything
at all where she would have to bend
forward. If she tried to do a'Iittle hard
work she would. get such pains that she
would have 10 lie down for the rest Of
the day.
AT last I persuaded her to stop drink
ing coffee and try Postum Food Coffee
and she did so and has used Postum
ever since; the result has been that she
can now do her work, can sit for a
whole day and mend and can sew on the
machine and she never feels the least
bit Of pain in her side IN fact she has
got well and It shows coffee was the
cause of the whole trouble.
Il could also tell you about several
other neighbors who have been cured
by quitting coffee and using Postum in
It's place There's a Reason Look
