or the cars. being retained merely as

This change in the equipment Of the

thorized at meeting Of the board of di-
rectors held last Monday. Notification of
the intended change was forwarded TO the
interstate commerce commission in the
following letter signed by George +.
Hamilton. president of the Capital Trac-
ton Company:
For several years this company has
had under consideration the ACCESSIBILITY
of air-brake equipment for its urban cars.
Means Greater Safety.
To determine whether such equipment
would give additional safety 10 the public
has been necessarily difficult because Of
the many conditions of uncertainty in
volved. Our careful consideration of the
subject, however. now inclines us to the
opinion that air-brake equipment will give
greater safety and efficiency in opera ton.
and accordingly, at a meeting of the
board of directors, held July -. the
equipment referred to was authorized.
1t is respectfully submitted that the
Capital Traction Company will install on
all its cars this equipment speedily as
may be done. without interruption to traf-
fic. and 1t IS expected that all of its cars
will be fully equipped with air brakes by
January !. 1911.
All Of the newer cars on the lines of
the Capital Traction Company are al
ready equipped with air brakes. and the
equipment has been installed on some of
he older cars. Hereafter all cars ordered
by the company will be built with the
air brakes and the change will be made
in the old cars as rapidly possible. the
work being done in the local shops of the
company.

LOAN SHARK MEASURE
WILL Be CONSIDERED
C0nferees of House and Sen
ate to Take Up Bill Today
or Tomorrow.

The conferees on the District loan shark
bill. on the part of the House and SEN
ate. probably will meet this afternoon or
Tomorrow Representive Ben john
son. chairman of the House District COM
mttee. and one of the conferees. said to-
day that he would endeavor to bring
about a meeting as soon as possible. Rep
resentative Adair, the other democratic
conferee on the part of the House. has
just returned to Washington, and as
Representative Dyer, the republican con-
fierce. has given his assent to a confer
ence in his absence, the conference is as
sured
That the House conferees will never as
sent TO the bill as passed by the Senate
may be predicted with certainty. The
Senate bill provides that pawnbrOkers in
the District may charge per cent
month. and that loan companies may
charge per cent. The House bill, on
the other hand. provides ] per cent
charge month for both pawnbrokers
and loan companies.
Position of the House.
The House conferees hold that there is
no justice in legisIating in favor of the
pawnbrokers.
They declare that it would be legisla-
ton favoring certain class of ''ex-
tortionsts.' and against the men and
women who happen 70 be in distress. The
pa wnbrokers. they hold, who accept .se-
curity" or tangible property. risk less in
making their loans than do the loan COM
panies, which take surety or mere
notes.
They point out that as the law of the
District stands there is nothing to clearly
define what a rawnbroker may lend money
upon. and that the loan companies may
pay Il paWnbrokers license in the future
and continue to loan money on mere
surety" obtaining :; per cent for it.

BLIND MANS SIGHT RESTORED
Piece of cornea From Dead Animal, Transplanted, Is Hailed as Tri-
 umph of Surgery.

The French Academy of Sciences an. nounces the success of an operation on 8 blind man, performed seven months ago and watched carefully ever since.
 A workman had an eye burned by quicklime, so that the cornea had be- come opaque. It has long been the dream of scientists to transplant the cornea from animals to man, but so far this has been tried without success.
 This transparent cornea is one of the most delicate parts of the human organism. Very soon after death or after the removal of the eye from a living person, for that matter, it be- comes opaque and begins to break up,
 But M. Magitot has found way to preserve it's transparency. In the case in question it had been kept a week before piece of it was fitted into the depression made by removing a quar. ter-inch square section of the cornea of the blind mans eye.
 Now, after seven months observa- tion by the surgeon, the eye is pre- nounced well, and he can see with it --dimly, it is true, but still ne sees.

IS IT FOOD OR DRUGS?

Housekeepers are beginning to real ize that cheating the grocer and the butcher increases the druggists bill. ! Many of the illnesses of the body arc caused from improper feeding. Much of ill health may be fed out of the l system by the use of well selected and prepared food.
 It is not necessary to spend a great deal of the income on food, for cheap | foods that are perfectly good and 1 wholesome can be bought if the mar kets are watched. It is not necessary to dose the little people with drugs when they are troubled with constipa- tion, for there are so many good fruits like figs, prunes apples and oranges; i; but these are staples which must be of first quality
 When We buy cheap food it need not be poor food. The woman who pays twenty and twenty-five cents for a package of breakfast food which could be bought for two or three cents is not good manager. Whole wheat right from the farm may be bought for two or three cents a pound, and there is as much of good wholesome food in 1t as in a bought package, if it is well cooked and served i'll as dainty manner. Of course the cooking takes time and fuel. but it may be done in a fireless cooker or at time when the fire is kept up for a long lime for other things
 There are some women, We hope not many, who have so much leisure that they get little exercise, and in conse quence are always ailing and taking drugs for some fancied illness. If tonics were thrown out of the win dow and that same window left oper for the pure sweet air to purify the room at night, health would stay. A woman with a hobby, something tC take her out of doors, will not need a tonic to keep her well.
 Bees and birds, chickens, and il one can work garden, are all fine outdoor medicines. There will always be enough demand for the family doctor, and we wouldn't do without him, but we need to keep our bodies in condition with less of drugs to dis order the functions. ' H-n> ~ . ~A
