Frail Humanity

Alas, we are but sorry critters,
we human beings, one and all we
do our best, we are not cutters,
but our results seem beastly
small. You know how earnestly
we swatted, all through the sti-
fling summer days, and many a
peck of flies we ported, and rev.
eled in your well earned praise.
With patient zeal and purpose
sober we carried on our endless
quest, from early June until Octo-
Der we slew the flies and took no
rest. With hardly time to eat
our dinner, we soaked the flies
from sun to SUN; but were their
legions any thinner for all the
swatting we had done? Perhaps
some highbrow statistician might
prove there was a million less
than when, with high and pure
ambition, we started OUTPUT
that's a guess. Worn out by
weary months of slaughter, we
rest at last, our muscles lame !;
and then Dame Nature takes her
swatter, and shows us how to
play the game. She sends some
weather cold and foggy, or
springs frost that paints things
white, and 10! the flies are rem
dered groggy-a hundred billion
in a night! When Nature does
her wholesale killing, man looks
as helpless as a doll; he does his
best, his heart is willing, but his
results are cheap and small.

POOLRO0M IN OPERATION
IN MARYLAND; SAY POLICE
Wagers Taken on Horse Races at
Point Between This City
and Baltimore.

The Washington police department
has obtained information that the
business of taking wagers on horse
races Is being conducted at a point on
the electric line between this city and
Baltimore. According to the informa-
tion in possession of the police the
business is carried on in the rooms of
regularly incorporated club. and the
assertion is made by the promoters of
the place that the wagering is being
done within the law.
The police. it is stated. also have re-
ceived information to the effect that
bookmaking on the races is being con-
Quoted at other points in nearby Mary
land, where odds are posted and
wagers of any amount are accepted by
those in charge Of the places. Only the
one place mentioned. however. has been
definitely located by the police.
Similar business in other counties of
the state of Maryland was stopped by
and it may be that Gov. Goldsborough
will take hand in the investigation
of the place now in operation.
Search for Second Place.
The police have been unable to locate
a second such place that was reported
to ha e started operations. AT the club
in Maryland tickets similar to those
used at Benning a number of years
ago are being used.
1t is said that the club in Maryland
is visited by many persons from Balti-
more and this city every day, and that
the odds given are greater than those
given by the handbook men who are
still accommodating the "pikers" in
this city.
Following the arrest of Henry Green,
a telegraph company employee, and his
statements of losses to Washington
handbook men and bookmakers on
Baltimore race tracks, it is stated, the
handbook men remained under cover
for several days because they feared
prosecutions as result of Green's
statements. but they quickly recovered
from their fright and are again in evil
dence about certain saloons in the
business section.
While the local handbook people are
complaining among themselves of what
is going on in Maryland, it is said. the
police are gathering testimony against
them and hope to land number of
them behind the bars in the near fu-
ture.

Popularity Of Service.

There are two notable developments
in the farm-to-table movement in
augurated early this year by the Post
Office Department, at least as reflected
in the transactions OF the Washington
post Office" said Postmaster Praeger.
One is evidenced by the popularity of
this service on the part of the con-
sumner. and is shown by the increase to
300 parcels a day of perishable prod
ucts from the farm, and the other is
contained in letters from farmers to
the Washington post Office telling of
the amount and character of business
they are doing since the farm to- ia pie
movement was inaugurated by the
postal authorities. The farm products
list issued from time to time by the
Washington office shows the absence of
number of farmers whose products
were annexed in the earlier lists. These
farmers have w1IIten to i
names taken from the list because they
have all the customers that they can
serve. An interesting note runs through
the letters of number of women on
the farms. who rejoice that they have
found an easier way of selling their
pin-money products than by driving to
the villages, towns or crossroads
stores"

misery in the kidney region. sharp

illness, your stomach sours, tongue is
coated and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The urine
gets cloudy, full of sediment, the chan

ing you to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
To neutralise these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush of the
body's urinous waste get four ounces
of Jad Salts from any pharmacy here;
take a Tablespoonful in glass of water
before breakfast for few days aud
your kidneys will then act fine. This
