COPPERS SEEK
$4,000 RAISE
Police Commission Endorses
Increase in COmmuniCa-
tiOn to City Council
WANT TIE INCREASE
BEFORE SUMNER ARRIVES

At the request of a committee OF
patrolmen representing the entire
force OF the city. the Board of Police
Commissioners yesterday afternoon
agreed to send a recommendation to
Council directing that the officers be
granted a substantial increase i'm sal
airy. Recently the commissioners
granted the men permission to appeal
to Council for an increase, but the
members Of the higher body decided
that a written communication from
the Commission would be more desir-
able than their mere verbal agree
ment
The schedule Of increase asked for
by the patrolmen would increase the
salary item annually $4,000, and this
is not thought exorbitant I'm view of
the fact that patrolmen of Whining
ton work twelve hour shifts as against
a working day of eight hours in many
other cities of the same size. The
Commissioners made it plain during
their meeting yesterday that the men
could not hope for an increase before
summer.
Chief Of Police Black submitted a
report on the firearms being carried
by the members of the force. The
report showed that 80 Smith and Wes-
son revolvers are In use as against
smaller numbers of Colts, Iver JohnI
sons and many other makes. The
Commission has received one offer TO
furnish the one hundred reyolvers
that Will be needed to properly equip
the force at $1,000. This price is fixed
for a gun which Chief Black highly
recommends.
The question of equipping the mem
bers of. the force with new firearms
was finally held over for further con-
sideration and to allow Chief Black
TO communicate with the authorities
Of other cities as to the customs in
vogue elsewhere relative to the city's
paying bill for firearms.
The Commissioners decided to ao-
cept the offer made by the DUPONT
gun club, that patrolmen on their af-
ternoons off be allowed to practice
shooting in the clubs galleries. A let
ter Of thanks was ordered sent to the
club.

symptom Of kidney trouble in my case
was a pain across my back and in my
shoulder blades. Sometimes It was all
/ could do TO get about and the pains
in my loins were so sharp and severe
that Il seemed as though someone were
thrusting a knife into me. A member
of my family had used Doan's Kidney
Pills successfully and deciding to try
them, I got box at Danforth's Phar-

Dyspepsia Tablets.
Men, as a rule, are first discovered
by their enemies. Their antagonists
turn on the searchlight, and the proof
of merit will lie in being able to
stand the flash.
II was only in this way that Mr..
White ever knew that dyspepsia was
one Of Mr.. Blacks worst enemies. Sit
ting face to face at a two-by-four ta-
Bile, he handed his afflicted friend the
bill OF fare:
Oyster Cocktail. Stuffed Olives.
Boston Clam Chowder.
Strained Gumbo.
Sirloin Steak with Mushrooms.
Roast Beef Hash.
Boiled Ok Tongue with Sauerkraut.
Lobster a la Newburg.
Baked Pork and Beans.
Combination Crab Salad.
Hot Mince Pie.
Pineapple Fritters.
Mr.. White ordered a little Of each. "
Mr. Dyspepsia Black ordered crackers
and a glass of milk. 'I had such a
big breakfast this morning" he said,
that I'll just take a bite to keep you
company" But Mr.. White could not
be deceived: II am afraid you can't
stand the CLEAN, Mr. Black. Why don't
you say you have dyspepsia and be
done with IL? You'll always have that
hungry look anyhow as long as you
have dyspepsia. Now listen My stom-
ach was i'm just as bad condition as
yours at one time. But now I can eat

this clam chowder or sirloin steam OF
even the lobster would be just as well
come 10 my stomach as your crackers
and milk. You don't realize how this
dyspepsia business is robbing you OF
your spirit, Of your energy and ability
TO think quickly. I can't help notice it
You haven't the cheer and sociability
you had three months ago. Now I'll
tell you what to do" and thereat the
cheerful Mr.. White took a vial from
his pocket and extracted wee tablet,
There. there is a tablet that contains
an ingredient, one grain Of which di-
gests 5000 grains OF food. For even
the worst dyspeptic it's the only thing
that really gives relief The reason is
