WASHINGTON. Restaurant keep
w ers who own cracked mugs must

DR.. Wiley, Uncle Sans chemistry eX-

The cracked mugs which have fallen

those known in some circles as badly

They are rather the abused drinking
utensils which come bounding over
the counter at you when you enter a
hurry-up lunchery and hoist the cry:
"'Arf and 'arf," or draw one."

TT IS the official view Of Col. c. S.
l Bromwell, the army engineer in
charge Of the White House, that it will
be necessary for the American people
to spend 81 900 week during the next
fiscal year to keep the home of the
president in habitable condition.
This is the minimum of cost based on
conditions as they exist now.
Should the one time executive man
sion be turned into two apartment
structure, the cost would probably be
about the figure set forth by the
colonel.
The up-keep Of the house during the
current fiscal year is only 1878 and a
few pennies each week. But things
are getting shabby. The children

should be sent to the upholsterers,

whole interior done over with fresh
paint and enamel. The wall paper on
the wall, of course, is not paper at all.
but the finest brocaded silk. The
upholstering on the Sevres designed
chairs is also of the finest. So the
colonel figures it will cost $4,000 to
do the absolutely necessary work.
In submitting his estimate to the
secretary of the treasury he remarked
that the annual appropriation of $35,
600 is barely large enough to keep
the house from going to rack and ruin
The $4,000 asked for is put under the
head of extraordinary repairs.
Congress will grant the money.
