try of Madame MontessorI is given,

tend only rs far west as Chicago, with

To Revoke Old Permit.

Mai. Lyon also notified the board that
the speeding of automobiles in the reser-
walton at Fort Myer was dangerous and
the heavy hauling a detriment to the
roads, and the post authorities propose
to revoke the permit existing since 1883
for the public to pass through the post
grounds. Then 1t would be necessary
for teams going to Arlington village and
Columbia pike to leave the military road
at the foot of the hill at VOLTS and go
along the north side of the Washington
and Virginia tracks to the courthouse
station and cross along the county roau
south of the post. The supervisors pro-
tested against the great inconvenience
this would put on citizens and proposed
further conference, which WAS agreed on.
Surveyor Crocker and the viewers re-
ported the proposed change to straighten
the Ballston road at the lumber yard at
the foot OF the hill going out of Rosslyn
and this will be taken up for determine

there and in some other localities.

CURBS ON STOCK EXCHANGE.
Additional Sulzer Bills Placed Before
New York Legislature.

ALBANY, n. Y, February 13.-The
state superintendent Of banks would be
given Jurisdiction over stock exchanges
If a bill introduced yesterday at the sug-
gestion Of Gov. Sulzer becomes a law.
The measure is designed to bring about
the Incorporation of the New York Stock
Exchange and other exchanges.
The suggestion of state supervision and
regulation Of stock exchanges by COM
polling their incorporation was opposed
by committee representing the New
York Stock Exchange at a recent con-
ference with the governor. Two other
stock exchange reform measures were in
troduced today.
One would compel a broker to report to
customer the name of the party with
whom he deals in buying or selling
stock and the specific time Of the sale or
purchase. The other would make it I'M
lawful for the New York Stock Exchange
to prohibit it's members from doing bust
ness with or for the members Of other
exchanges.

FOOD FIGHT GOES ON

SEES DANGER IN DRUGS
Asks Patent Medicine Manufacturers
to Help Bring About Fed
eral Control

NEW YORK, February 13.--Dr Carl l..
Alsberg. the new chief of the bureau OF
chemistry OF the Department OF Agricul-
ture, in his first public utterance since
he was appointed to succeed DR.. Harvey
Wiley. told the members of the Associa-
ton of Manufacturers of Medicinal Prod
ucts here last night that he intended to
enforce the pure food laws as strictly as
possible. He asked proprietary medicine
manufacturers to aid him to reduce the
sale Of narcotics to the lowest possible
point.
1.-THE eyes of the people," said DR.. Ais
berg, shave centered upon the depart
ment's struggle for pure foods The work
Of the department has. I think you will
admit. been successful in improving the
quality OF our foods and preventing grave
forms Of fraud and adulteration. We
realize fully that much remains to be
done. but public confidence has been won:
and presidents have been created. No
backward step will be taken. There will
be no let up in the enforcement of the
pure food and drugs act"
Wants Uniform Laws.
Just prior to this statement DR.. Alsberg
asked that the patent medicine manu-
facturers combine with his bureau to
bring about government control OF the
sale and regulation in the handling of
all patent medicines and narcotics. He
also asked that these same manufac-
turers begin the agitation for uniform
legislation in all states with the same OBJ
ject in view.
While the efforts of the Department Of
Agriculture" continued DR.. Alsberg, Gin
so far as the control of the food prod

concerned. have been attended with con-
siderable success. this has been true to
less degree with drugs and medicines.
The fault has been in part with unfore-
seen loopholes in the law.
II do not wish to imply that nothing
has been accomplished On the con-
trary, as you are well aware, through
the great powers over imports vested in
the Secretary of the Treasury. the De-
partment of Agriculture has succeeded in
keeping out of the country all crude
drugs OF an inferior quality.
Domestic Nostrums.
cit is far different with the domestic
nostrums. Because the domestic manu-
facturer knows how to advertise, no exist
ing federal law can adequately protect
the people. The Sherley act will, we
hope, enable us to compel the removal of
all false and fraudulent matter from the
package.
Gloomy as the outlook seems, there is
yet ray Of hope. 1t Is the attitude of a
small but powerful portion of the press
itself. which has voluntarily secured its
advertising columns till they contain only
clean and honest matter.
Even If we succeed in protecting the
people from quack medicines. a great task
remains. This is to protect them from
habit-forming drugs, such as opium and
cocaine We all are agreed that some
thing must be done to control their sale
and distribution. The only differences of
opinion concern the best means of ac-
cOmplishing this end

CHANGES ARE PROPOSED
FOR AQUEDUCT BRIDGE
Maj. Lyon Submits Plans to
County Supervisors From
the War Department.

The Alexandria county supervisors had
before them yesterday a number of i'm
portant propositions for improving and
changing the roads and other travel
facilities of the county. The member for
Arlington district, w. c. Wibirt. was alb
sent and so far practicable the final
disposition of these matters was put over
until the next meeting. The question of
the legality of last winters Legislative
act will probably be decided by Judge
Thornton at the session of court begin
ming next week, and this was reason
a fund OF $4,000 special tax collected for
road uses mainly is dependent on this
decision.
Mai Lyon of the War Department laid
before the board the plans for changes at
the Virginia end of the Aqueduct bridge,
with drawings showing what is proposed
for the government reservation there.
This project involves the removal of the
stations Of both the Old Dominion and
the Falls Church electric roads to Hume
street on the south side of the reServa-
ton, and changing the tracks SO as to re-
lieve the congestion at the bridge end.
4 freight shed with TRACKS reaching it
and tracks for holding cars To carry
crowds to Arlington on special occasions
are proposed for the east side OF the en-
bankment near the d!lapidated power
house there. and that building is to be re-
moved. Further up the bank toward the
military road coming off the bridge is to
be a track for the Arlington and the
Alexandria lines of the Falls Church
washington and Virginia) road, and
next this the track for the Falls Church
line. with a station for all on the reserva-
ton corner opposite the side of the Ar
Iington National Bank, Rosslyn. On the
west side Of the military road the station
of the Old Dominion road is to be put on
the reservation opposite the Monitor Of
flee and near the packing house, which
is TO maintain slightly and sanitary con-
ditions The bridge car is to run to
this station and room is to be made
for all cars going in opposite ways TO
pass without interference. The federal
government is to maintain walks on both
sides OF the road from AQueduct bridge
