FAULTY DIGESTION
Quickly Skaters the Nervous System

Immediate Action Necessary
Try Mi-o-na.
When you feel irritable, tired and
espondent-when you have nervous
twichings, specks before the eyes,
headaches, sour stomach, heartburn,
Indigestion and pains in the colon and
bowels-you suffer from indigestion,
which soon develops into dyspepsia
the chief cause of nerve exhaustion
you need Mi. o-na at once.
Mi-o-na is not a cure-all, but a
scientific remedy that surely ends
stomach misery. 1t builds up and
strengthens the stomach walls and
glands, improves quickly the diges-
tive system. Then the vital force
and nerve energy are restored, impart-
ing strength and good spirits to the
discouraged, rundown and weak.

GARAGE AND BARN BURN
BriqhtWood and PetWorth Ap-
paratus Turn Out for Sill
yer Spring Blaze.

A fire last night caused the total de-
struction of a garage and barn on the
farm Of B. F. Harvey near Silver Spring,
Md.
Shortly after o'clock last night Mr..
Harvey, who was sitting on the porch in
front of his house, discovered blaze
in his barn, and soon the whole structure
was in flames. The fire later spread to
the garage. Large crowds were attract
ed to the scene, and all hands formed a
bucket brigade. and water was poured
on the residence to prevent it from catch
ing fire. when 1t was seen that nothing
could be done to save the barn and gar
age.
While all this was going on at the
scene fire engine companies in Washing
ton went out looking for the blaze Some
one in Takoma Park saw the reflection
and turned in an alarm, which brought
out the BrightwoOd fire company with
its horse-drawn apparatus. After the
run to Takoma Park it was seen that the
blaze was further out in the country and
1t was useless to have the horses make
the run. In the meantime some one else
turned in an alarm which brought out
the auto fire company at Petworth. The
fire apparatus was followed by a long
string of automobiles along Brightwood
avenue
But when the apparatus arrived there
was nothing that could be done. as the
well on the farm went dry shortly after
the bucket brigade had been formed.

HEADS0F DISTRICT
FACING HARD TASK
Must Prepare Estimates for
Next Fiscal Year Before
October Is.

The Commissioners will get down to
work in earnest this week on the prepa-
ration of the Districts estimates for the
next fiscal year. Engineer Commissioner
Harding has returned from a months va
cation spent in Massachusetts. and. with
Commissioners Newman and Siddons,
will take up the budget-framing task,
which Is expected to require a month
or longer. The estimates are required
to be in the hands Of the Secretary Of
the Treasury by not later than Octo-
ber Is.
Requests for improvements made by
a large number Of citizens associa-
tions will be considered, as we'll as
items carried in the last estimates
priation act. The Commissioners, it
was stated yesterday. have not de-
cided whether the million dollar in
terest charge on the 3.65 bonds
which Representative Johnson claims
the District owes the federal gov
ernment will be taken into account
when a decision is reached as to how
large a total may be carried in the
budget.
Limit on Appropriations.
In annually determining this
amount the District heads take the
amount Of anticipated revenues of
the District deduct from it certain
charges borne entirely by local tax
payers. and then. under the half-and-
half plan by which the federal and
District governments contribute alike
to the needs of the capital, double
the remainder. This establishes a
limit to the total appropriation that
NAV be requested.
Frequently the Commissioners find it
necessary to use the pruning knife in
order to bring the total amount of ap-
propriations desired within the limit de-
termined by law. and the present year
is not expected to constitute an excep-
ton to the rule.
Arranges Conference.
Commissioner Newman has arranged
a conference for tomorrow afternoon
with William H. Richardson and Dr.
Arthur L. Murray, president and secre-
tary. respectively. of the clean city
committee of the District. Plans for
bringing about cooperation between the

ington will be discussed.

Both the chief executive and DIR. Gray

very little attention during the walk. The
President walked near the curb. with the
secret service man close behind him.
At one point in his walk, when he was
on Pennsylvania avenue between 9th and
10th street. which was thronged last
night. several hundred people followed the
nations head for time, but the alluring
lights Of the many moving picture thea

ranks until there were less than dozen
followers when the President turned up

In the crowd the President passed un-

F street was almost deserted when the
President and his guest turned west on
this street from 9th street. Near the
corner Of 18th and streets the Presi-
dent stopped to examine a German print
in the window Of an art store. man
who refused to give his name stepped
