They Say at Hearing.

prised the select committee appointed Oy
ths Board OF Estimate to listen to ar
rument. The Board has the power to
sppoint or disapprove OF any provision
o,acing any restriction on tie neighth
nj buildings. Alderman Kennedy stated
that the Building Code Commission had
tentatively approved the restriction.
Calvin Tompkins, representing the
Board Of Trade and Transportation. in
formed the committee that his board
was opposed to the limitation OF height
clause. The real question is light and
air, ne added, and these can be had
when high buildings are not erected
sol!dly against each other II is an easy
matter to regulate the easements OF
light and air In the streets, he said
An angle OF light OF seventy degrees
can easily be provided in the public
highways. Buildings can be erected In
terrace fashion without sacrificing light
and air. Limitation OF height he added,
would defeat building evolution now
going on in this city.
President Babb Of the New York
Board of Fire Underwriters. declared
that tho maximum Of height reported by
the Code Commission is too great. He
advocated restriction OF hotel buildings
90 30 feet and office buildings should be
limited to $50 feet.
Ernest Flagg, archltec, OF the Singer
building. and Charles r. Lamb ex-
pressed their opposition to the height
limit suggestion. Mr., Fagg said that
public interests demanded height where
light and air would not be sacrificed.
Terraced buildings, aftording plenty OF
light and air, are to be desired. he said.

Eat What
You want of the food you need
Kodol will digest it.

You need a sufficient amount OF
good wholesome food and more than
this you need to fully digest it.
Else you can't gain strength, nor
can you strengthen your Stomachlf
it is weak.
You must eat in order to live and
maintain strength.
You must not diet, because the
body requires that you eat sutfic-
lent amount of food regularly.
But this food must be digested,
and it must be digested thoroughly.
When tie stomach can't do 1t,
YOU must take something that will
help the stomach.
The proper way to do is to eat
what you want, and let Kodol oil
gest the food.
Nothing else can do this. When
the stomach is weak it needs help;
You must help it by giving it rest,
and Kodol will do that.
