As Washington is never so busy and
never quite so interesting as in mid in
ter, they are all likely to get their moneys
worth. They visit the capitol, sit in the
galleries and see how the Senate and
House transact business. TheN are under
the escort of teachers, who help in point
ing out the men of national reputation
and in explaining how things are done.
Of course they call upon their congress-
man, who looks out that they are given
facilities for seeing as much as possible
and for learning as much as possible.
They all want to go up in the Washing
ton monument, which means a trip of
couple OF hours. They all want also to
visit the east room Of the White House
and see where the President lives. Some
OF them get chance to see the President
and shake hands with him, il the party is
not too large and their congressman can
persuade the President to give a little
time out OF his busy day. These appeals
to him are generally successful till along
into the spring, when the visiting parties
OF school children become very numerous,
so that their greetings to the President
would take too long.
All OF these visitors are sure to ssgo
through" the treasury>department where
they see the big moneAvaults. They are
shown how the bank bills and treasury
notes are finished. Most Of them have an
opportunity to hold million dollars in
their hands, the honey being tied up in a
bundle. All in all, the school children
have very happy time visiting Washing
ton and have occasion to, remember their
trip long while.

New Cure For Stomach.

G. A. Parcher Gives Ellsworth Read
ers Chance to Try it.
Since nobody knows when, people
have suffered from indigestion, sick
headaches, bloating, dizzy spells, dis
tress after eating, sleeplessness and
the many other symptoms of stomach
troubles and have found the usual
remedies powerlees.
Here is a chance for Ellsworth read
ers who may suffer with weak stom-
ach to test without risk of loss the
new prescription, called Mi-o-n ma, for
indigestion that has met with great
success wherever it has been tried.
This treatment, which strengthens
the whole digestive system SO that
the stomach does its work without
any distress, is sold by G. A. Parcher
under a guarantee to refund the
money If the remedy does not do all
that is claimed for 1t.
Mi-o-na costs but SOC box, and one
box will do more real good than a
dozen boxes of ordinary digestive
tablets.

Potomac Flats Being TransformedtoPa Park

and what II means to humanity ex-
that consideration is enough in their
estimation TO put Washington out of
the question as place where anyone
would willingly spend the summer.
At the same time 1t is recognized by
thousands that Washington has not
only many advantages as summer
living place, but also that 1t possesses
attraction. The temperature Is not
ignored by such. but they appreciate
the fact that not all days are marked
by excessive or even uncomfortable
summer weather conditions Even this
year, which thus far has been hot and
dry. generally speaking. as compared
with the weather. of last year and the
year before, has been marked by
periods OF cool days and nights. and at
times an atmosphere that had tonic
quality, such as one is accustomed to
experience in more northern ATTITUDES.
Then there is the charm of the city
in its summer garb. the most beautiful
to be found In any city in the world,
and that beauty not alone in the adorn-
ment Of one section. but in its general
extent throughout the entire area.
There is refreshment to be found In
passing along the streets bordered
with trees whose foliage screens side
walks and even the pavement from
the heat OF the sun.

VIZ ASHINGTON.-Wha the cap

lacked in the past in the way of park
accommodations for the comfort and
enjoyment Of the general public, such
condition will not exist after this sum
mer. for rapid work is being done upon
the flats lying along the Potomac
frontage OF the city. and the waste
land is being transformed into gar
den spot that will make it one of the
most delightful public parks in the
country. Instead on the dcsolate
stretches of swamp and tangled
thicket and neglected commons there
are now verdant lawns and trees and
shrubbery and flowers. and. above all,
walks and drives and seats where the
public may view the river and the sur
roundings which have thus been ere

summer spent In Washington is dis
cussed with any enthusiasm. They

man who gave the inspiration for its
starting.
The history of the church dates
back to 1895, when the mission OF All
Angels was established at Twilight
Park. For several years before that
time desultory services had been held
in a small building in the settlement.
Bishop Satterlee made his summer
home there and he became interested
in the mission. Its first regular serv-
ice was held June 16. 1895. in the cot
tage where Bishop Satterlee and his
family lived. At that service there was
celebration Of the holy communion,
at which the bishop officiated. During
the summer services were held In a
small building nearby. but in the fall
1t was decided to build church.
