soda crackers that are
occasionally good.
1t is quite another thing
to make them so that
they are not only always
better than all other soda
crackers, but always of
unUarying goodness.
The name "Uneeda"- stamped
on every one of them-means
that if million packages of

TO FURNISH CAS- STOVES
Erroneous Impression Concerning the
Manner of Obtaining These
CcntriYances

The City Council recently adopted
resolution providing that the city luf-
nish gas stoves to consumers OF gas
at actual cost. The object of Nh. j..
F. Birrell. who introduced the rcsolu-
:ion, was to interest gas consumers IN
the use of such stoves for culinary ana
other purposes. Many persons haze
utilize gas for cooking and other pur-
poses for some time, and they nave
found, when used with moderation,
that the cost is about that incurred III
burning wood or gasoline 1t is by no
means as dangerous at the latter and
is to be preferred to wood from the
fact that time is saved, and when t:ie
purposes for which gas has beca
used nave been accomplished, 1t can
be turned off and housekecpers escape
the heat incident to old-time ironing
day.
Certain persons, however, inciut-
ing some in position to know oettor,
have been possessed of the haIlucina-
ton that the city had embarked IN
an enterprise to furnish gas stoves
to any resident of the city VINO might
desire one gratuitously, whether such
are consumers OF gas or not; hence
Mr.. J. B. Waller the efficient and cou"-
teous clerk of gas, is endeavorIng TO
dispel the illusion Of people who have
entered his office, selected the pattern
OF stoves they describe and coolly dl-
rected him to send them to their
homes.
1t may be stated again that the cl;y
will furnish the stove at cost to any
citizen and they can be paid for III
twelve monthly instruments.
The prices of the stoves are ilXed
at $500. $3.50 and $500.

LARGE CHOP OF WEEDS
Menaces to Health Flourish Abund-
antly in Many Places in
the City.

During the session Of the City
School Board last night steps were
taken toward the elimination Of weeds
in the public school grounds. 1t was
agreed that such rank growths are d
menace to public health when allowed
to flourish during the summer and
winter under the frosts of early au-
tumn. Alexandria has brought forth
tremendous crop Of SUCH vegetation
during the summer now about to
close. In some places they are four
or five feet nigh. Ii not eXtirpated
the pods will burst and SOW the seed
for more abundant growth next
year.
These unsightly and unwholesome
growths are not confined exclusively
to the suburbs, but they can be
found on some paved streets as well.
4 walk east on Cameron street from
Fairfax and on portions of Lee street
will be accomplished between rows OF
weeds The same can be said Of other
localities in the city.
In the later part OF the fiftles a
wcll-known merchant Of this city was
waylaid and robbed in the streets. The
njghtwatchmen followed close in the
wake of the footpads, but they manag
ed to ciude the officers and escaped
from the city. The Civil War follow
ed and several Of the alleged high
waynen reappeared in this city after
the close of the conflict. No arrests
were made, the victim not living in the
city at the time The men who are
said to have been engaged in the
crime confessed that they hid IN the
tall weeds in the city streets while
the officers were searching for them
The watchmen, the men averred, at
times passed within four or five feet
Of the objects of their search. Con-
ditions on some streets would sim al
ford a refuge for law-breakers.
