"SKIP-STOP" TRANSIT
system ADVOCATED
Traction Express Service Proposed by
Utilities Commission.

W. F. Ham, president of the wash
ington Railway and Electric Company.
last night said the traction companies
had not been officially notified by the
Public Utilities Commission of the
passage of order 1SS, affecting the
regulation and betterment of service
OF electric street railways in the Dis
trict.
He intimated that the dispute would
be difficult to adjust, and said that
until the order had been transmitted
to the company for study, It was diff
ficult to say what plan would be
adopted to meet the commissions de-
mands
1t has been suggested that q scheme
be proposed by the commission and
acted upon by the companies for a
period of time to test the matter.
Among other things, the order pro-
vides for a seat for every passenger
during nonrush hours and seven
square feet of floor space for each
standing passenger during rush hours
Nonrush traffic is defined as ex-
listing from 9:l5 a. m. to 3:45 p. m.
and from $50 p. m. to 10:45 p. m. on
midweek days. and from 9:15 a. m. Ia
noon and $40 to 1915 on Saturdays.
Rush traffic IS defined as existing
from $50 a. m. to 9:15 a. m. on mid
3:45 p. m. to $50 p. m. on midweek
days Mldweek days are from Mon
day to Friday, inclusive. legal holi-
days excepted.
Mr.. Ham last night said he believed
1t would be difficult to improve the serv.
ice on the basis OF the "skip-stop" method
with the present facilities Of the roads
1t is probable that a system OF eX-
press trains. such as are in vogue in
other large cities, will be installed. This
requires that during rush hours some
cars run several blocks without stopping
to take on or discharge passengers. A
car would he available at every corner
on a rush traffic street at designated
periods during rush hours. Under the
present ruling. It is believed. relief fol
passengers will be obtained. If not, ther
other and more drastic measures will be
taken. according to the commissions re.

Start Tomorrow

Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split

can, instead, feel as fresh as daisy
by opening the sluices of the system
each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous. stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing. sick or
well. should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with a tCGspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, liver and bowels the previous
days indigestible waste, sour bile and
poisonous toxins; thus cleansing
sweetening and purifying the entire
alimentary canal before putting more
food into the stomach The action OF
hot water and limestone phosphate on
an empty stomach is wonderfully in
vigorating. 1t cleans out all the sour
lamentations, gases. waste and acid
ity and gives one a splendid appetite
for breakfast. While you are enjoying
your breakfast the water and phos-
phate is quietly extracting a large vol
ume of water from the blood and get
ting ready for a thorough flushing OF
all the inside organs.
The millions of people who are both
cred with constipation, bilious spells
stomach trouble; others who have sal
low skins, blood disorders and sickIy
compilations are urged to get a quar-
ter pound of limestone phosphate from
the drug store. This will cost very
little, but is sufficient to make any
one a pronounced crank on the subject
of inside-bathing before breakfast

Geneva, Switzerland, Oct. I'm a letter
to Louis Macon, president OF the League
of Neutral Countries, Theodore Roosevelt
applauds the leagues recent denuncia-
t!on of the invasion OF Belgium" The
letter says:
These protests against the action OF
Germany form a noble contrast to the
timid silence unworthily maintained by
those at the head of my country.
Every civilized nation Is morally
forced to protest against the violation OF
Belgium. That is especially true of my
country. where those directing the gov
ernment make speeches advocating peace
leagues and the protection of rights OF
small states.
TT is pitiful and terribly hypocritical
to pronounce such speeches and make
such declarations Of rights in abstract
manner without taking any active part In
the relief of Belgium's misfortune"
