WASHINGTON TIMES BUREAU,

ANASOoll LA, ~. - AIhlL
The big intercepter sewer that will
ultimately bIing about a change in the
sewerage system in Anacostia and ad-
joining suburbs, will be started Mon
day. This is known as the main Ana
costa intercepter, and the plans pro-
vided by the District authorities for its
construction, which have been brought
to the attention of Congress to appro-
priation bills from time to time, show
that it will extend along the south
bank of the Anacostia river between
the new outfall sewer and henilworth,
possibly six miles.
The contract for the first portion of
the work has been awarded to the War
rem F. Brenizer Company. which is to-
day getting its machinery in position
near Anacostia to begin operations. The
sum of $4,000 is available for the be-
ginning of the work. and 1t will be done
in sections. The principal section to
be first installed lies between the out
fall sewer and the Anacostia bridge.
In conjunction with the building of this
sewer, into which II is proposed 10
direct the sewerage of Anacostia and
vicinity, there will be constructed near
the outfall sewer, on the AnacOstia
side of the river, o. pumping station,
which will force the sewerage from the
new interCepter into the District Outfall
sewer. The preliminary. work toward
the erection of the pumping station is
under way.
While the contracting company Is
ready TO start work on the big sewer,
the start to be made near the outfall
sewer, dredges are at work extending
three Anacostia sewer lines into the
Anacostia river as far as the bulkhead
lines of the reclamation project. These
sewers, when extended, will finally
carry only surface water, the systems
now In operation to be changed to meet
the new conditions.
Appropriations are now pending be-
fore Congress for the extension OF the
intercepter from Anacostia to Kenil-
worth.

FOR The THIN AND SCRAWNY
SamOse Will Make You Plump and
Rosy Says Jas. O'DOnneIl.

If you are getting thin and are sick.
altough you may not know it. If you
are losing weight steadily, there is
something wrong that needs looking
after. If you have always been thin II
doesn't follow that you are sick, but
you may not be healthy. You cannot be
strong II you are thin.
Try then to be healthy and plump, 1t
is not difficult II you know how.
The only way to increase the weight
and gain health and flesh is by using
Samose, the standard flesh forming food
and tissue builder. 1t mingles with the
food you eat and is assimilated SO that
all the flesh forming and tissue building
elements of the food are retained in the
system: This explains the great value
OF Samose.

n n ANY, many hundreds of years
Mu ago there lived little boy by
N the name of Bob White. He
lived way down South and was
very good little boy. His people were
poor, SO Bob did not have many play
things, but used to GO out In the fields
and play with the toads and grass
Xii of the animals that knew Bob
! White loved him. For one thing, he
meyer, never hurt them. And for an
other he used to bring bread crumbs
and other things that the animals liked.
So whenever Bob would come out of
the house his pets would come up to
him to be fed.
One morning when Bob came out with
his little pockets full of crumbs and
things, he noticed wee little bird lying
on the ground. IT was what we call
nova lays a quail: When Bob lifted II
little legs were broken, and that 1t was
almost starved.
Bob carried his new little pet into the
house and showed it to his father with
tears in his eyes.
well, little man." said his father,
well see what we can do.
Now, Bob's father loved birds and
about them. So he made wee little
pair of splints, did up the poor little
brides leg, and he and Bob fed 1t
every day until It was well.
VI course, tne little Dlru grew 10 loNe
Bob very dearly And he knew. just
as the animals did, that Bob's pockets
were always full of nice things. And
when he was hungry he would hop on
the edge of Bob's pockets and try to
get inside to get some crumbs. Then
! Bob would open the pocket wide, and in
would jump the little bird and begin
eating.
But one morning Bob did not come
out to feed his pets. They did not
know what was the matter. The grass
hopper said he was not going to wait.
and hoped out in search of food. And
the toad blinked at the sun and snapped
up a fly that was passing. I'm going, -
he croaked, and off he went, too.
But the little bird that loved Bob so
much would not believe that he had
forgotten his pets. He felt sure that
something was the matter By this
time the little bird was strong and big
enough to find food for, himself but still
he loved Bobs crumbs better than any
worm even. So the little bird did not
cat much, but sat on the fence waiting
for Bob.
The days went by, and still Bob did
not come out. All his pets had gone

After that he sat on the fence all day
