advertising to be gained in the East it
has been decided that the show will be
held in some Eastern city this year.

Appe, Show permanently. We will en-
deavor to show the East what we can
produce and what we can show in COM

LOOK OUT FOR "POISON OAK"
Time is Here to Prevent the Disease
Simple Wash Recommended.

Several people have already reported
the appearance of "Poison Oak" 1t
is said to be more virulent this season
than before.
A wash of wintergreen oil and other
soothing liquids has been fund very
effective. This simple wash is known
as D. d, D. Prescription.
When D. D. D. is applied the Poison
Oak pustules do not break out in any
cases, and if they do appear, a few
applications of D. d. D. Prescription
destroys the disease. Physicians advise
that it would be a good thing to have
a bottle of d. d. ID. ready.
If you will come into our store for a
moment, we will show you convincing
evidence of what d. D. d. has done.
If you call, we shall not urge you to
buy, but we will be glad to tell you
about this remedy. A trial bottle only

ACTIVE WAR is WAGED
ON Tree CATERPlLLARS
Seven Thousand Elms and Nearly
All Lindens Have Received
Liberal sprayings.

The caterpillar is having a hard time
Of it this year. according to officials in
the Office OF the District superintendent
OF trees and parkings. The elm-leaf
beetle. his running mate is up against it
in the same way, all because of liberal
sprayings of arsenate OF lead which are
being given the Districts shade trees
Through the operation of an additional
400 gallon sprayer this summer the Dis
trict has waged the most successful cam
paign in years against the foliage-de-
stroying insects. AS result. 1t is said,
the trees are in better condition tan
they were at this time year ago.
Already 1000 elm trees have been
sprayed twice, while practically all the
lindens have received an equal number
Of sprayings. What insects are left are
doing comparatively little damage, 1t is
said
Last summer the foliage on whole rows
Of trees was skeletonized by the de-
structive work of the caterpillars and
elm-leaf beetles. In many instances the
trees afforded but little real shade.
Now there are practically no trees in
this condition, and District officials are
hopeful that but few other sprayings
will be necessary 1t Is said that the
cost Of the war against the insects SO
far has been only little more than s
cents tree.

ANACOSTIA.

Whether the District Commissioners
and the Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company will reach an agreement
whereby the work Of laying the double
track system to Congress Heights may
be commenced and completed by this
coming winter is the question that is
uppermost in the minds of the residents
of that section. as evidenced at the July
meeting at the Public Improvement As
ISOLATION held last evening in the town
hall on Alabama avenue.
The committee having this matter In
charge made lengthy report as to its
progress, and stated that the reason for
not being able to have this work started
is that the Commissioners have requested
the railway company to pave for a dis
lance Of three feet outside of the tracks
and between the tracks. The law calls
for only two feet, and the company claims
that an additional expenditure of about
S1,GO0 would be necessary to comply
with the order. The views of the MEM
bers Of the association are to the effect
that the company should do this work,
because it pays nothing for its franchise
to operate in the District. and because
nothing has been done to better the con-
dition Of this road since 1t was first laid
several years ago.
1t was stated that Commissioner Jud-
son is determined in his stand and will
carry the matter to Congress and compel
is willing to proceed under the present
condition. Unless the company does this
the association is going to urge the
passage Of a bill at this session of Con-
gress to compel the company to pro-
coed. This work was to have been start
ed the first of last April. In this con-
nectiOn 1t was stated that Sunday after
noon from 3 O'Clock until midnight ], 165
persons were carried on one car of this
line.
Members Of the association also ex-
pressed regret at the apparent discrim-
ination in the matter Of making repairs
to the roads and streets in this section.
A request was made for the repairs, but
advice was received that no money was
available for roads of this character. A.
b. Mckay, chairman Of the street COM
mittee, stated that several miles of the
same kind of roads were to be repaired
in Rock Creek Park, and the money for
such repairs was to be taken from other
availa BILE appropriations for streets. The
matter is to be presented to the Com
missioners.
The purchase of about ten acres OF the
Wilson tract at Congress Heights by the
government, to be used for a public park,
is to be urged. There was much dis
cussion as to the most suitable tract to
be asked for, but this received favorable
action, owing to it's being adjacent to
the asylum wall. 1t was brought out
that IL such a purchase was made 1t
would probably prevent this wall from
extending further into the town OF Con-
gress Heights. and also make a break
between this institution and the town
proper. The park would race on NICHOLS
avenue.
The question Of providing additional ca
pacty for the school building here will
also receive attention.

No Increase in Water Rates!
To the Editor Of The Star:

Referring to your issue Of Wednesday
concerning an increase in the water rents.
1 wish to ask II there is a limit to the
rate which may be charged for the use
of water in this city? When the Engineer
Commissioner wakes UP in the morning
and thinks it good thing to add $4,000
to the taxes Of the people 1t is pertinent
to ask If Congress should not have some
thing to say in the way of restraint to
that individual for the taxpayers have
no right to apply remedy. The fact
that six years ago the assessment was In
creased 33 Ia per cent. and now 30 per
cent more is to be added, indicates that
there is something wrong with the sys-
tenn, 1t may be that 1t Is an expensive
one; il so, it should be corrected or abol-
ished. The statement that we do not pay
as much for water as Is paid in some
other large cities is absurd. Some large
cities-in New Jersey. for example-are
supplied with water by private concerns,
some of which are said to be owned by q
single individual and the charge for wa
ter is that which the party owning the
plant chooses to exact. The validity of
this suggestion justifies the query: Will 1t
not be better for the people Of Washing
ton to have the water supply in the hands
of q private corporation han to leave It
to one man to so increase the cost that it
may be raised to such degree as to
pay all the expenses of the District? We
should not point to the vicious acts of
other cities to be emulated here, but the
object should be to reduce the cost of
living, when the prices Of necessaries of
life are already too high
