Folsom was born, and the country had

Physicians are advising people to be
very careful about eating uncooked

they warn that uncooked fruit will

the President wakes up. slams Con-

been sitting up and taking notice for
some time now, and he has concluded
that the District Government has too

the power and the responsibility, and
states that he shall so recommend to
Congress. Now, really, the District is
