ALL YOU need ISA
CASCARET TONIGHT
No Sick Headache, Bilious Stom-
ach, Coated Tongue or Consti-
pated Bowels by Morning.

Turn the rascals out-the headache,
the biliousness.. the indigestion, the
sick, sour stomach and foul gases
turn them out tonight and keep them
out with Cascarets.
Millions of men and women take a
Cascaret now and then and never
know the misery caused by a lazy
liver. clogged bowels or an upset
stomach
Don't put in another day OF dis
tress. Let Cascarets cleanse and reg
ulate your stomach; remove the sour.
undigcsted and fermenting food and
that misery-making gas; take the OK
cess bile from your liver and carry
out of the system all the deoomposed
waste matter and poison in the intcs-
tines and bowels. Then you will feel
great.
\ Cascaret tonight will surely
straightcn you out by morning. They
work while you sleep. A Io-oent box
from any drug store means a clear
head and cheerfulness for months
Children love to take Cascarets be-
cause they taste good-never grippe
or sicken.

Citizens Protest Against In
I crease in Water Rates.
VOICE OF ASSOCIATIONS
Action of Commissioners Denounced
as Arbitrary.
RIGHTS OF PEOPLE IGNORED
Opposition Also to Abolition of Half
and-Half Plan Of District
Appropriations.

Z Four citizens associations in widely
separated sections of the District of Co
lumbia voiced strenuous opposition &c
tho recent arbitrary advance in the Dis
trict's water rates, at meetings held las,
night The sentiment OF the taxpayers
expressed shows that the people of this
city are indignant at the manner in
which the advance was hurried through
the District building before the taxpay-
ers had a chance to present their views
after a study Of the question
Not only was the water rate discussed
and condemned. but the probable aboli-
fion Of the established principle OF half
and appropriations. as shown by the
Star, was taken up as u question of the
most vital Importance to the interest OF
the National Capital. 1t is plainly indi-
Gated by the resolutions of last night
that the citizens of the District will not
allow the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives to forget the promise of the
federal government when it agreed that
the District of Columbia should grow to
be the worlds greatest capital and that
the cost of half the progress should be
paid out of the Treasury of the United
States and one-haIf by the taxes of the
property owners of the District.
Voice or Protest.
The Lincoln Park Citizens Association
adopted a resolution regretting that
there is a growing feeling among men,
beers of Congress that the partnership
arrangement between the District of Co
lumbia and the general government,
whereby each contributes one-half to-
ward the support of the nations capital,
should be abolished Determined op-
position to any change was promised
The Columbia Heights Citizens Asso-
citation opposed by resolution the increase
in water rates, and a resolution denounc-
Ing the increase as oppressive was given
TO the executive committee for inveStiga-
ton and report.
BY unanimous vote the Takoma Park
Citizens Association called the advance
rates un-American, undemocratic and I'M
fair, and demanded that the Commits
sioners set aside the buried ruling SO
that the Districts citizens might have
q hearing on the subject.
UNFOLDING the half-and-half principle
Of appropriation in the District of Column
bia and condemning the advance in water
rates, the Improvement Association of
Congress Heights took firm stand for
the rights of the citizens of the capital.
Resolutions calling on the Commissioners
to give the people of the District a fairer
show in the water rate matter and de-
manding that no change be made in the
organic principle of appropriation were
adopted.

w. F.. Wright took an entirely differ

of meters. he said. would mean more
than a slight increase in the cost of wa

Charles r. Riordan suggested that the

Action of Commissioners
Declared to Be Arbitrary

That the course pursued by the Dis
trict Commissioners in increasing the
water rates, without giving the citi-
zens and taxpayers an opportunity to
be heard, is meeting with popular dis
approval was evidenced last night at a
special meeting Of the Takoma Park
Citizens Association, held in the Ia
koma Presbyterian Church, On Maple
avenue. TakOma Park.
The meeting was called to order by
President James w. Dyre, who explain
ed the object of the meeting. Presi-
dent Dyre said that the proposed in
crease was a matter which would
strike very close to home Of not only
those residing in the District, but those
who are contemplating purchasing
homes here 1t was not the increase
which caused so much objection as IL
was the course adopted on the part Of
the District authorities, who decided
upon the increase without granting a
hearing to the citizens. He declared
that the taxpayers should have been
given an opportunity to state their
side of the case before the increase
was put into effect. The Federation Of
Citizens associations had requested a
hearing. but had not been allowed an
opportunity to press the matter. Like

Objections to District Barns.

expressing regret that the Commissioners
had seen fit to locate large barns for
animals Of the STRENGTHENING depart
ment in one of the most thickly settled
and beautiful sections of East Washing
ton.
THE territory around these barns,'' he
said. lis filled with the modest homes of
people who have invested in them the
accommodations of lifetime of hard
work. The construction of these build
ings and the natural congregating there
of all classes Of laborers will decrease
the value Of these homes from % TO so
per cent"
Mr.. Northcott said he could see no rea-
son for erecting the stables. 1t will be
but a few years before the horses will
be succeeded by automobile wagons. he
added. and then the Commissioners Will
realize that there was useless ex-
penditure Of money for stables. Action
upon the resolution was deferred.
The question Of universal transfers be-
