BAD BLOOD
OFTEN ENHE+R T ED

Bad blood does not always come as
the result of careless living, or indls-
cretions it is a condition frequently
Inherited. Normal, healthy blood
contains millions Of tiny red corpus
cles, which are the vitalizing and
nourishing element Of the circulation,
their Office being to provide every
portion Of the system with its neces-
sary strength and nutriment. In
weak, impure blood these corpcscles
are lacking in numbers, and therefore
the blood is rot able to supply the
proper amount of nourishment to the
body. Bad blood manifests itself in
many ways, With some it takes the
form of skin diseases and eruptions,
others become bilious and malarious,
with sallow compilations, torpid liver,
etc. Bad blood produces Rheumatism,
Catarrh, Sores and Ulcers, Scrofuia
and like troubles. Nothing is equal
to S. S. S. as a remedy for bad blood;
it is the greatest OF all blood purifiers,

REPLY TO GIILOTT'S SUIT.
CommissiOnerS Considering Charges
Against Former Policeman.

The District Commissioners yesterday
filed their answer to the mandamus suit
for an oral hearing of former Police
man Joseph L. elliott, denying they have
made final disposition OF the custer
charges against elliott
The answer relates that their usual
practice. working for the best admfnis-
tration of affairs. is to review proceed
ings of the trial board only upon written
evidence They allege that oral arguments
interfere with their other manifold duties
and are generally unsatisfactory.
1t is denied by the Commissioners that
elliott has the inherent right to obtain
an oral hearing, and they are considering
the charges against him carefully and
have not yet passed on the charges filed
against him. elliott was ordered dis
missed from the force for alleged Circu-
lation OF petitions said to reflect upon
his superiors.

Fire that was famed into furnaCe-like
fury by strong north wind yesterday
afternoon destroyed the famous old
Slater mansion, one of the historic land
marks of Washington, which stood on
the same grounds as the old Ruthvcn
ledge, recently razed by band of work
men.
Built in 1916 by former Gov Slater. of
Maryland, wherein Dolly Madison and
the aristocracy of the Capital were en-
tertained. the mansion had wthstood the
ravages of winds and storms from its
high eminence overlooking Georgetown,
2ust above the Naval Observatory.
In Wing of Building.
Shortly after $50 o'clock flames shoot
ing from the roof in a wing of the build
ipg, which was occupied by a number Of
Italian laborers engaged in erecting
homes in Massachusetts avenue, were
seen BY John Phillips, who turned in an
alarm at Wisconsin avenue and Jewett
street An overheated stove caused the
fire
Owing to the high wind the building
was soon cnveloped in flames. Engine
companies % and ), with truck 3, strug-
gled through the mud and slush that
blocked the side stree,S before they
reached the scene. AS soon as he ar
rived, Battalion Chief Henry sent in
second alarm, which called engine com
panieS 10. g. and -, and trucks Z and ).
At the crucial moment Fire Chief Wag
ner arrived in his auto and personally
assumed direction of the work.
The police reserves OF Georgetown and
the TennallytDwb substatiOn were called

people. VINO came from all directions.
because of the distance from any water
plug, it was necessary for hose to be
stretched for 800 yards, and up a steep
hill overgrOwn with underbrush. The
water supply was so weak the firemen
were unable to combat with the flames.
which gained steady headway
After an hour and half. four streams
were playing on the building. but the
flames were not under control until they
had consumed the building. Much at
tentiun was given to preventing the
flames from igniting the surrounding
underbrush and being communicated to
the Naval Observatory.
Cars on the Tennallytown and Rock
vile railways were blocked about an
hour. A large portion OF Georgetown
was overhunS with black smoke
The house was occupied by John
Jorusinsky. a Russian, with whom re-
sided about twenty-five Italian laborers.
They were able to move out their be
lCngings.
The house was soon to have been razed
by contractors for a syndicate that is
to erect residences in Massachusetts
avenue. The land IS known as the
Thompson tract and contractors were
preparing to demolish the building. for
which tre syndicate had given the pres
ent owner 500. There was no insurance
on the building.

FIGHT ON IN EARNEST
Business Men Interested in
Clerks Betterment.
TWO PLANS GAIN STRENGTH
Government Employees Await Action
by Board of Trade and Chamber of
mmerce-Hundreds of Letter.
Being Sent Out Daily in Hone of
Getting Desired Legislation.

All doubts as to the earnestness of the
fight to obtain better pay for the gov
ernment clerks have been dispelIed by
the support which has been given the
Chase proposition by merchants of
Washington. and the ready response of
the clerks themselves to the proposition
advanced by Fulton R. Gordon
Opinions were freely expressed yester-
day on the strength of the movements
and the whole heartedness with which
the business men OF the city have evil
denced a desire TO work hand in hand
with the government clerks in bettering
their condition.
The plan advanced by p. B. Chase
which has for its object the raising of a
fund of $1,000 to defray the cost Of
legal and other aid in having Congress
pass measure at the next session that
will obtain better pay for the clerks. will
not assume definite shape until the Board
OF Trade and the Chamber OF Commerce
select their respective committees of ten
TO draft plans. along which lines the
campaign shall be conducted.
Reports Next Wednesday.
This is expected in a few days. when
the Chamber Of Commerce appoints its
committee. A committee Of five was ap-
pointed Thursday night at a meeting of
the board OF directors of the Chamber
to make a report next Wednesday night.
The chairman of the committee, 4. Lis
ner. said that it would be the first matter
considered by the Chamber Wednesday
night
Mr.. Chase said last night that as
soon as the committees are appointed
he will turn over his check for 81. 900
and ask that an office be open imme-
diately. as nothing is to be gained by
waiting.
Il intend to push the fight for the
government clerks. II I am alone in the
matter, and do not intend to stop at
$1,000 II no more money Is forthcom-
ing" said Mr.. Chase. "But such a mat
ter is remote in the minds OF the busi-
ness men Of the city. I know from
personal knowledge that the business
man is only waiting for the appoint
ment of committees from the two trade
bodies and some one is selected 20 re-
ceivc the money to send in their sub
scriptiOns."
