Iniure His Furniture and
Carpet Business.

Displaying a large sign on the plate
glass window of the store at 512 Ninth

saloon next door the Julius Lans-
burgh Furniture and Carpet Company
has several members OF its stan engaged
in obtaining signatures to a petition,
which is to be presented TO the excise
board at it's next meeting, protesting
against the coming of the saloon.
Mr.. Lansburgh states about 800 sig
natures had been obtained last night,
but a whole roll containing approx
nately 500 signatures was stolen from
the table on the sidewalk. guarded by
two boys He says that he is in posses
sion Of the name of the thief, but other
wise refuses to throw any light upon
the matter.
If a saloon moves in next to me, :"
says Mr.. Lansburgh," il will ruin my
business. | do not want to say any
thing against the liquor interests, but
| have lot of money invested here.
and / do not want to see business get
any worse than IL is"
The company proposes to keep the
petition filling up as rapidly as possible

slider the license, and in that time, 1t

GLEN ECHO

Equabie temperature Is one OF the
things that is advertised by the pro-
moters Of resorts designed for seekers
of health and recreation the year round.
And cauabIe temperature is to be one
of the things that Glen Echo will utilize
in its invitations to the Washington
crowds . the management Is wise. II
has dawned on Washington pleasure
seekers Just recently that the same
conditions which make the park cool
and comfortable on hot nights tend to
make II equally delightful cool after
moons. The trees that keep out the sun
and give the park its pleasant tenn
perature, also keep out the cool breezes.
Dancing Is the great feature of the
park. although the nifty other nttrac-
tions are well patronized in the day
time as we'll as the evenings. the picnic
parties making the ground as lively dur
ing the morning and afternoon as the
gay lights and dance music do in the

Furthermore. Richard Buhler, some

a quality of unctious humor which many

have known he possessed.
And the third and last. bouquet must
be handed to Stanley James. whose per-
sonation of the police court judge,
irascipIe. blundering. susceptible, and

From all Of which 1t might be con-
cluded that this weeks production at

A Physicians Advice.

I'D certainly give most anything tc

not impossible. despite past failures
Thin people are victims of mal-nutri-
fatty elements of food from being taken
UP by the blood as they are when the
powers OF nutrition are normal. Instead
Of getting into the blood, all the fat ar1c
flesh producing elements stay in the
intestines until they pass from the body
as waste.
To correct this condition and to pro
the nutritive processes must be arti-
ficially supplied with the power which
nature has denied them. This can besl
be accomplished by eating a Sarge
tablet with every meal Sargol Is a sci.
entific combination Of six of the best
strengthening fat-producing elements
known to the medical profession. Taker
turns the sugars and starches into rich
