DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A MANS
IDEA OF HONOR AND WoMAN's.

II knew OF a case where n large busl-
ness firm was about to fail. Men WHO
had married into the family conducting
the firm. and who had money invested
In II, knew the failure was coming. but
wouldn't evea withdraw their money
because under the circumstance the
withdrawal would have been d%ishonor-
able. A woman well known as a philan-
throplst in New York was also a mem.
Der OF the antly. bat was not told Of
the approaching catastrophe. When II
came she was furiously angry that she
had not known beforehand. not because
any OF her money was lost. but be-
cause her husband might have specu-
lated with the knowledge OF the failure
and made more money!
Frequently. though. the woman who

Are Your
Nostri|s C|ogged?

II your nose is stopped up, don't 90
near people who have sore throats,
grippe or who have coughs or a dis
charging ear. When your nostrils are
closed from any cause you are ready TO
take any such disease as colds, grippe.
e~atarrh, tonsilitlS, e~AfaelIe, deafness, broIi.
chitis, pneumonia, pleurisy and tubercu-
losis.
Here Is the reason:
Your nostrils catch the germs and
dirt that are In the air you breathe. There
are lots Of them IN the air of a big city.
People with colds, catarrh, coughs and
tuberculosis are constantly throwing off
germs into the air, and you are almost
sure to breathe In some of those germs
II your nostr!is are open and moist and
healthy, the germs are not only caught,
but are entangled in The STICKY Secre-
tons and are thrown out by blowing
the nose. This Is the natural way Of
clearing out the germs and dust that
collect In your nostrils.
When your nostrilS are clOgged from
any cause, the germs that are caught
cannot be thrown out by blowing the
nose, but remain In the nostrils and set
up a disease that is called catarrh.
When the nostrils are clogged you
feel you must free them, ana you find
you San do this bv drawing the ::cre-
ton back into your throat. Now, this
Is unnatural and extremely risky, as !
will try to show you.
The secretions in a clogged nostril
are loaded with disease germs.
Just back Of your nostrils are two
tubes that lead up into your ears. When
you draw the secretion backward from
your nostrils into your throat YOU are
liable to draw the germs into your ear
tubes, and when you do you will find
your hearing loon fails; you have head
noises or even get up a discharging ear.
When you draw germs from your
nostrils back into your throat the
germs attack your throat and make 1t
feel dry and rough, or else set up an
irritation that throws off 4 sticky slime.
When this happens you will be o n
Stantly clearing the throat. In other
cases the throat will feel dry, sore and
ache.
If you draw the germs backward from
your noStrilS you are apt to take them
into YOU lower air passages. When
this happens you will have a husky or
hoarse voice, will have a cough and a
feeling Of tightness in the throat.
In the same way you are liable to
draw the germs of pneumonia or
tuberculosis into your lungs, and If you
do you will be in danger Of pneumonia
or tuberculosis.
The right way to start the cure Of
deafness, head noises, throat disease,
coughs, bronchitis, asthma and lung dis
eases, is to have the clogged, sore, dry
and discharging nostrils opened and freed
Of disease.

IMAGINATION 70 A GREAT HELP
TO A BRIDE,

There In UGH foolish talk about the
WORK OF the average man being bigger
and nner and less wearing than The
work Of his wife at home. OF course.
that isn't the case ut all.
THE wife with Imagination won't
listen to this dribble. She will be able
to put herself In her husbands place
TO realize the turmoil n struggle AND

And because. through her power Of
imagining. she can feel this. she will
also feel that no effort is too great. on

PROGRESS IN HOTEL BUILDING
Contractors Expect to Complete
Hotel Powhatan by October l.

Progress is being made in the con-
struction of the Hotel Powhatan, at Penn
sylvania avenue and 18th and H streets
The steel work for eight stories is COM
pleted and 1t is of sufficient strength to
permit the building to be increased to
eleven stories in height, when the BUSH
ness of the future so warrants. The
brickwork, laid by new method of
hanging scaffolding, used for the first
time in this city, is up to the second
floor. The fireprOOfing is being rushed
along, and there is strong friendly
rivalry between the bricklayers and the
flreproOf men in an effort to get to the
top of the building first.
Many innovations are being planned
which indicate that the new hotel will be
conducted along lines unique In Wash
ington. Anticipating that the house will
be in favor with the army and navy
and with tourists from other countries to
tn National Capital, the Messrs Lewis,
the managers, have entered into nego-
tfations for the erection of q wireless
station on the roof of the hotel.
A novel electric sign is being designed
by the architects, Milburn. Hester & Co.
which will be visible throughout the
business section of the city. A weather
indicator connected directly with a vane
In the roof Of the hotel will occupy a
place in the lobby.

pany expects to complete the building BY

Several sales have been reported for
the week by Harry V. Bouic & Co., real
estate brokers, among the number being
the residence at 1901 18th street north
west, which was purchased by Robert l..

BETHESDA DISTRICT
AGAIN PROMISES BOOM
Building Activity to Be Re.
sumed Following Return to
One-Fare Rule on Trolley.

Following a period of lethargy in
building, and while the two-fare rule
on the street railway was in force, the
whole zone in Montgomery county,
Maryland, Is now giving promise OF a
renewal Of it's building boom. Resi-
dents Of Friendship Heights. Drum
mond and Somerset attribute the re-
sumption OF activity in building to the
victory which recently was scored by
the citizens in securing a ruling by
the interstate commerce commission
by which the railway company was
instructed to return to the system by
which passenger was permitted to
ride for one fare between any point
in the District of Columbia to the
three suburbs.
The first sound of the artisans trowels
and hammers in the whole section since
the one-fare rule was re-established will
be heard within the next few days, when
Richard Ough, architect and builder. Will
begin the construction of an eight-room
house In Friendship Heights for II. w.
Offutt. The dwelling will be built at a
cost Of about $1,000.
Plans also are In the making by several
other property owners in the Bethesda
district, and it is expected there will be
a number of new houses constructed dur
ing the ensuing building season.

BRITISH RAILWAY PROGRESS
Some Of the Big Engines and the
New Passenger Coaches.
From the Manchester Guardian.

From the Manchester Guardian.
The past year has been a remarkable
one in the annals Of our railways for new
developments in engines. Nearly all our
big railway companies have been build
ing new types of engines and perfecting
the old types.
The chief feature is that considerable
strides have been made insthe adoption
Of superheating, which in the case Of sew
eral of the great lines now appears to
have passed the experimental stage.
Among the most powerful engines that
are now being built are the 49, ex-
press passenger locomotives Of the North
eastern railway, the Great Centrafs =
80 locomotives for mineral traffic. and
the London and Northwestern 40 ex-
press passenger engines, the first OF
which was called Coronation.
The most notable Improvement that has
been made in passenger coaches are the
new fifty-six bogie coaches on the Great
Central, which are made OF vanished

The Electric Shock Commission.

From the New York Times.
With increases of power generated in
great cities comes increased peril to life.
The steam engine, gunpowder and dyna-
mite engines, gasoline and electric motor
cars, and power plants that run the
rapid transit lines, all utilize power that
never threatened our ancestors. The
science of individual protection against
accidents has not kept pace with the ac-
celebrating progress in the arts which
utilize instruments that may at any time
be death-dea ling We are encouraged,
therefore, by the announcement of the
meeting in this city OF the commission on

The so-called Sylvester method OF re-

rhythmically up and down so as to ex-
pand and contract the lungs, has recent
