! A strong stand on the question of
Congress bearing its share Of the play
grounds expense for next year was taken
by the executive committee of the Board
of Trade at noon yesterday The COM
mittee on Fairgrounds asked for a spe-
cial hearing by Congress to protest
against what is feared will lead to an
invasion of the financial rights OF the
District in the administration Of finances.
Under the law that provides for the
equal contribution Of the expense Of Dis
trict administration and support by Con-
gress and the people of the District. no
item. it is contended. should be borne
wholly by either Of the two when that
item relates to any part OF the local ad-
ministration and is not wholly Federal
Placing the whole burden of play
grounds on the District, it was declared.
while it is in effect telling the District
that it may have Fairgrounds il il wants
to use its own money for the purpose, at
the same time threatens to open the door
for the further unloading upon the Dis
trict of expenses which should be borne
equally by Congress and the people OF the
District, 1t is argued.

There will be no further dumping OF
refuse along the Rock Creek Valley if
the Washington Fine Arts Society, which
asked to be allowed to cooperate with
the Board Of Trade committee on parks
and reservations, can prevent 1t. When
the improvements of this locality are
begun all of this refuse will have to be
removed at the expense of the District
and immediate action will be taken by
the committee to have this practice
stopped now.
Favorable action was taken on the re-
quest of the National Aviation Company,
Incorporated. to secure the Endorsement
of the Board Of an International aviation
meet for one week in May, at Bennings.

TEe ,..S S.@ar Channels.

Every human being-man, womnn and child. hero and convict, neuras-s thenic and deep sea fisherman, atnIete and invalid-needs the blessing of God through three, and only three. great channels - responsibility. recreation and affection; work. play and love. With these any life is happy in spite of sorrow and pain.A successful despite the bitterest failures. Without them man breaks his heart. sewers his con- scious connection with God. If you want to keep a headstrong. fatuous youth from ovefreaching himself you try to give him responsibility, recrea- tion and affection. If you want to put courage and aspiration into the gelati- nous character of a street walker or the f1ickering mentality of a hysterjc you labor to furnish just the same trio work, recreation and affection. Tn every case the healing power which you want to give is real life. and real life means just these three things. The same needs are fixed for all of us and the same all sufficing bounty in the supply if we can get and keep in touch with it.-Atlantic.

Mice For Whoonina couah.

A fairly alarming relic of medieval nostrums came to my notice recently. A mother was discussing with her housekeeper the probability of her children taking whooping cough. which was then prevalent in the community. The housekeeper, most dependable. valuable helper. of more than average good sense and judgment. said: Mrs. Black. if you'll let me can keep your children from having whooping cough. I've kept lots of children from having it, but l wouldn't do 1t without telling you first.'
 "Well, Martha. what is it?"
 "You catch a live mouse and kill and dress it and stuff it and bake 1t and feed it to the children. It isn't bad to take. and of course they don't know what it is. That would spoil the charm"
 To my friends exclamation of horror she replied with conviction, i've given it to lots of children. and never one of them had whooping cough."-Mary Newell Youtz in Designer.

It things to rights in that tired and dis ordered stomach. It goes right at the work of digesting the food it finds lodged there and in no time at all has things on the move-the gases cease forming, the breath is sweeten- ed, the coating on the tongue diSap- pears and you are no longer conscious that you even have stomach.
 That is one of the chief fecommen- dations for Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets-that they don't take forever to accomplish the purpose for which you need them. It is just as if you put an extra stomach or two to work when yours needed help. You can't continually overload your stomach md expect it to always smile. It is going to get rebellious and sulky af- ter awhile and refuse to go on beine. rest it occasionally-not by starving and thereby weakening yourself phys ically-but by using a Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablet to do the work of di- gesting your food.
 These tablets contain all the active clements of the natural stomach jui- ces and will alone and unaided digest food just the same as the gastric jui- cee And nothing could be more harmless than these tablets. They do not effect the system in any way do not cure any ai'ment except ls they digest food. Use them freely.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by all druggists everywhere. Price, 50 cents per box. A trial package will be sent if you will write F. A. et4-'nrt Co.,, 15O Stuart Bldg, Marshall Mich.
