THERE are trees and flowers and cool
breezes and plenty of fresh air out at
Fortified Hills.
That's why it would be a good plan to
take the wife and children out there on River
line car and look things over
Fortified Hills was developed for the wife
and children-for homes A house can be built
on any old lot but HOME must have envi-
ronment as well as lot.
That's what Fortified Hills has-the
proper environment. Workmen labored there
for years before the owner, Mr. E. W. Grove
consented to turn the property over to us to be
put on the market. He had advanced ideas az
to the development of residence section for
the salared man woman and he spent sew
eral hundred thousand dollars in putting these
ideas into effect
The result is Fortified Hills-the ideal resi-
dence section.
The property is twenty minutes from
Peachtree by the River car line Yet no cars
run in front of the homes and never will
Neither will there ever be any stores or obiec-
tionable residences.
In other words, Fortified Hills is restrict
ed just as thoroughly as is the property upon
cent residence.
1t was developed for people with pay en-
veopes containing from $25 to $40 or $50 The
prices and terms fit these pay envelopes
We have handsome booklets profusey T.
Illustrated which tell about Fortified Hills, and
we send them for the asking
Then too, Captain J. T. Mills can always ;
be found at Fortified Hills to show visitors
around and tell about the property There's
an office out there-you can't miss it because
it is built as attractive as the homes are which
are already there and which are going up. f
All during the summer since the prop
erty placed on the market unusual inter
est has been manifested in Fortified Hills by
those who want homes Even the wet wealth
hasn't kept people from being interested
and from looking at this magnificent property.
Eight houses are to be built in addition
to the beautiful homes already built Just look
it over and then let us tell you about the rea-
sonable prices and terms which were made to
fit the pay envelopes

About four years ago I was SUFFERING

Went to the hospital and failed to get any
relief. finally returning to my room, and
was In bed for one year. when one day my
cousin called and begged me to take the
German Herb Medicine called Alpan
Krauter-said she was sure it would dc
me good.
To please her. 1 sent and got a bottle
from you. January. 1909, and after taking
twO-thirds of bottle 1 could raise my
arms. When I had taken a part of the
second bottle I still improved, and kept

Commander Poundstone. U. s. N,
lighthouse inspector in charge Of the fifth
lighthouse district, has returned to his
ONCE at Baltimore after several days
spent aboard the lighthouse service
steamer Maple on an inspection trip
among the light stations on Chesapeake
bay and its tributaries. These inspection
trips of the inspector are made at irreg-
ular intervals SO that the light keepers
have always to have their stations in

what minute the inspector may pay them
a call.

delivering it to the lightships stationed
on the Diamond Shoals and Cape Look

FEW OYSTERS AT WHARF.
Wind Is Unfavorable to Laden Craft
Coming Up River.

There were less than fifty bushels Of
oysters all told aboard the vessels lying
at the oyster wharf last night Unless
there are arrivals of oyster-laden craft at
the wharf market tomorrow, there will
not be an oyster on sale from a vessel,
though they still can be found in the
shuching houses. The dealers at the
wharf are looking for three or four YES
sells to arrive at any time, but as the
wind is from the northwest, and unfavor-
able to vessels coming up the river, the
chances for many arrivals today are few.
The oyster longing season On the river
and bay ends within the next two weeks
and after the time for taking oysters from
the natural beds is over, it can be said
the season will be closed, although Oys-
tiers can be obtained at the wharf
throughout the summer.

FISH RECEIPTS HEAVY.
Sixty Thousand Herring and 5000
Shad Reach Wharf.

The receipts Of shad and herring from
all sources by the dealers at the fish
wharf We're yesterday quite heavy. about
GO, 900 herring and 10000 shad having been
received. The bulk Of the fish came from
the nets in Chesapeake bay and in the
mouth Of the Potomac, and We're brought
here on three vessels that have been
placed in the fish trade. The net at Fairy
landing was fished yesterday afternoon.
In the herring received at the wharf
market large number of menhaden are
found. and as they are only good for
fertilizer they have to be thrown away.
The presence Of the fish has several
times fooled vessel masters. After the
menhaden are thrown out the cargoes
have been cut down a third or more. The
heavy receipts yesterday have caused a
drop in prices. and shad are selling at
about IS cents each for roes and % cents
for bucks. Herring are bringing s. per
thousand.

and 1t was announced that there is a cat
shelter at 1o6 ID street southwest, where
