A communication from President Taft
stating that he would give due considera-
ton to the claims Of Southeast Washing

dents Of these localities desire in the
way of legislation and improvements.
The association outlined a campaign
which will be waged before the District
committee Of both houses of Congress for
the enactment Of legislation providing
for the retirement Of public school teach
ers 1t was also determined to push the
project for a twenty-four-foot Anacostia
channel.
Just before adjournment resolutions

cent order requiring lights on all vehicles
after dark were unanimously adopted
The measures Of protest will be forwarded
to the District authorities.

fall Of 1909 l was induced to try the Cuticura
treatment by a party who had heard OF re-
markable cure it had made and confess that
started in, not only without faith. but with
every prejudice against the medicine. In four
days was relieved Of the Inconvenience. and In
side Of two weeks cured, except for a slight dis
coloration of the skin. which wore of In few
weeks. I subsequently saw my friend Mr.. -
who had the same trouble. When he saw the
wonderful effect Of Cutieura upon me he at once
started the entire treatment. and was well in
about ten days. beg to thank you for the re-
lief you have given me, and II any one wants

Commissioners Promise to Help in

1.-THE Commissioners realize that the
salaries paid to the assistant inspectors
of plumbing, as we'll as various other
District employees. are not commensurate
with the services rendered, but owing to
the limitations placed upon them by law
in preparing their estimates to Congress
they are unable to recommend many i'll
creases in salaries which are highly de-
served: they will keep the matter in
mind, however, and when the opportunity
arises will do what they can toward Sc
curing the increases recommended by the
association
