senator Gallinger Is quoted as being
IN sympathy with the residents of the
southeast section of the city, and as
opposed to the erection of a six-story
building to be used as the District
stables on the square bounded by e, G.,
Thirteenth, and Fourteenth streets
southeast
During the taking Of testimony yes
terday in the law offices Of Wilson &
Barksdale, attorneys for the indignant
citizens. Capt. w. NJ. Potter said that
he. in company with Senator Gallinger
and Thomas W. Smith. had visited the
site. and that the Senator, after max
Ing careful investigation of the situa-
ton, had said:
The Commissioners have made a
grave mistake in selecting this square
as the site for the proposed stables.
Why, this is the place for your new
Eastern High School. The present sta
bies on this property should have been
located farther east"
Wood Favors Other Site.
James NJ. Wood, former superintendent
OF the street-cleaning department. tes-
titled that he was present at the hear
ing before the House District Commit
tee when the appropriation for rebuild
ing the government stables located be-
tween n, o, Ninth, and Tenth streets
northwest was under consideration, and
that the southeast site was not discussed
at all. Mr.. Wood expressed his belief
that site farther east and north would
be much better than the proposed loca-
ton. Any square between and and
Seventeenth and Twentieth streets south
east, II is thought, would be generally
acceptable Tor the erection of the sta
bles.
Capt Potter gave considerable data to
prove the unsanitary conditions now
prevailing at the present stables. He
said that the stable yard is filthy, and
that noXious odors arise from this germ
breeding source. j. c. Clark testified
that he had sold a house in Fourteenth
street near the stables to Mr.. F. S.
Drake, WHO, after paying a consider
able sum for the property. had forfeited
the amount in order to leave the neigh
borhood and get away from what he
termed a public nuisance.

BLOUNTS PRESENT LAND.
Gift of Strip on Lovers Lane Made
to the District.

Learning Of the bill before Congress
for the condemnation Of property in the
District to make possible the widening
and extension of Lovers lane, Col. Hen
ry F. Blount and Mrs. Blount have pre-
sented the District with a strip of land
twenty feet wide and 500 feet long, ly-
ing along the north end Of the lane.
The bill provides for the dedication Of
a strip thirty feet wide from Montrose
Park, which lies to the south of the
lane. 1t is proposed in addition to wild
ening the lane from thirty to eighty
feet to cut the thoroughfare through
from r to T streets
The improvement of Lovers lane will
be the first step toward providing a
highway from Georgetown to Rock
Creek Park. 1t is planned to eventually
extend Lovers lane to Massachusetts
avenue. The remainder of the route
will extend along Massachusetts avenue,
through Massachusetts Avenue Heights,
to Woodley road, to Klingle Ford VAL
ley road, and thence to the park.

"Iuen1nBs
The Commissioners yesterday approved
the plans of the District engineer of
bridges for the connection OF Belmont
street with Fifteenth street. which thor
oughfares at present are separated by a
ten-foot embankment.
An eighty-foot granite wall will be con-
structed running parallel to Fifteenth
street at Belmont street. At the north
end Of the wall two short flights of steps
will lead down to the street below For
the accommodation Of vehicles, Belmont
street will be extended in a reverse
curve to point just past the north end
of the wall. The driveway will be thirty
feet wide, and the incline will be very
gradual.

territory required, and the property has
only recently been laid out In building

Automobiles for the Masses.

The day of the poor mans auto
mobile is rapidly dawning. Every
| month brings it closer. The motor
car has passed through the expert
mental stage. 1t is no longer a nov
city. The manufacturer Is in per-
| manent business. His investment
| ceased to be a risk. The enormous
cost of factories is rapidly returning
| in profits, and every car that leaves
the plant decreases the cost of the
! next car. Today many concerns have
| regained all the money invested in
their machinery and buildings and
future output can be sold at an ad-
vance simply over the cost of labor
and materials.
No greater boon can be bestowed
upon the present than a practical and
durable automobile for the masses.
This is a century of speed. Tele-
phone and telegraph daily save US
million OF dollars, as time reducers.
The automobile is proving equally
valuable to society as space con-
densers. Since men cannot afford to
live more than an hour removed from
their business posts, hitherto our su-
burbs could only be developed near
accessible railroads. And such areas
being perforce limited, quickly be-
came overcrowded, with consequent
rise in rents and expense in living.
The automobile eliminates this in
tense competition among homeseek-
ers. No matter in what direction
mans house lies, he can quickly
reach his place of business or en-
ployment with his machine, and the
difference between rentals in a high
priced neighborhood and in newly
developed district is easily sufficient
to defray the up-keep of the car.
The low-priced automobile, how
ever, will prove of greatest benefit
to the farmer. Up to the present time
only land near a railroad was sale
able, as the farmer cannot operate
more than a few miles from his
transportation base. But with We
hicle capable of covering twenty to
fifty miles per hour, he can more
than save it's price out of the differ
ence between acreage near the sta
ton and Just as fertile and much
cheaper soil few miles inland.
The farmer has distinctly come
into his own, and his car has carried
him there. He is no longer semi
hermit, cut off from the society of
his fellows. Any man in this county
is a near neighbor. In fair wather or
foul, he has an efficient and rapid
mode of transportation for his but
ter, eggs and milk and perishable
produce.
In a hundred and one way the
automobile is enriching the country
at large. Aside from it's utility, it is
creating healthier standards of liv-
ing, constantly initiating air-starved,
soot-breathing families into the de-
lights of a normal existence in the
open. Every dollar invested in the
industry will eventually return to
the country an incalculable profit, in
the added virility of it's citizens and
the increased value of hitherto un-
desirable Woman's World.

WONIAN'S STOMACH.
1t Causes Much Misery if Not Keep
in Condition..

Many woman who would not toler-
ate anything but scrupulously clean
kitchen continue day in and day out
to suffer from an unclean stomach,
where food ferments, turns sour and
becomes putrid.
1t is just as easy for a woman to
keep her stomach clean, as to keep
her kitchen clean; in fact it is much
easier, and does not require hours of
toll.
One or two Mi-o-na stomach tab
lets after each meal will in short
time thoroughly cleanse and renovate
the most distressed stomach. They
will do more; they will put strength
and energy into the walls of the
stomach, and cause the juices of d.
gestion to flow freely, so that all food
will promptly digest.
Women, keep your stomach clean
and free from fermenting food, and
you will find that other ailments
such as nausea, biliousness, sick
headache, nervousness, sleeplessness,
constipation and palpitation of the
heart will disappear.
Van Werden & Kopp and leading
druggists everywhere sell Mi-o-na
stomach tablets for only so cents a
large box. They are guaranteed TO
cure indigestion or any stomach
trouble or money back. They stop
belching of gas and after dinner dis
tress in five minutes. Give them fair
trial; they won't disappoint you. One
woman writes:
II had been bothered for eight
years with gas, belching and bloating
of the stomach. Mi-o-na cured me. -

Try 1t On.

Did you ever start out in the
morning determined to weigh care
fully every act and deed of the day
and to perform no act and say no
word for which there would be cause
for regret? You have resolved to he
fair and just and humane to every
man, woman and child and beast of
burden. You have resolved to be fair
to those who mistreat and mistrust
you. You have resolved to do right by
your enemies. You have resolved to
say no word and perform no act to-
ward the wife and child that can pos
sibly leave pang of regret. You
have resolved to be righteous and
kind and just to your neighbours
children. You have resolved to de-
fend" those who are wrongfully at
tackled, be they friend or foe. You
have resolved to turn the other
cheek also. You have resolved to
conform to the christian motto or
do unto others as you would have
them do unto you, instead of doing
unto others as they would do unto
you and doing it first.
If you have never persistently tried
this treatment, try it tomorrow, on
the morn, weigh every word and ev-
cry act, and see how long it will be
before the pangs of regret begin.
Try it all day and at night set down
and ponder carefully the regrets Of
the day. It takes away all the vaunt-
ed pride of elf-righteousness. 1t
gives opportunity to see and feel all
our weaknesses. It begets humility.
It begets better men and women
