Mr.. Roulston Suffered from
Acute Indigestion, Gastri-

When I began taking DrecO | was

For number OF years ! have suf-

got nervous and dizzy and right giddy-
headed. and never got a good full night s
rCst. At times 7 would be badly con-
stipated, too.
Nothing the doctors gave me seemed
TO do any good and I kept growing
worse. Several friends advised me to
take Drcco, and 1t certainly Is wonderful
the way it has helped me. 1t was just
what 7 needed. Before I finished the
first bottle I could sleep better, my food
did not cause the pains and gas as 1t
formerly did. my constipation passed
away. Am never bothered with the swim
ming in the head any more and l
breathe free and easy, and it's been
many a day since I've felt as good as
do now. I'm more than grateful for
what 1t has done for me and l wish
everybody could know what wonderful

PENSION BILL
CAUSES Hitch
Protests of Police and Firemen
Voiced in Herald Brought
to Committee.

Conferees on the District bill began
their hearings yesterday with enough
points In dispute on provisions of the
measure to make prolonged sessions
probable
Despite the opinion OF high officials Of
the police and fire departments that the
dissatisfaction with the pension legisla-
ton was not serious, members Of the con-
ference committee learned from many
members of the uniformed force that the
protest voiced in The Herald yesterday
extended throughout the rank and file.
The conferees will inspect the bill that
has been drawn up by subcommittee OF
the House District committee considering
pension legislation and that draft may
be substituted for the La Toilette amend
ment.
w. T. Galiher and Robert Harper rep
resenting the Bankers Association;
Thomas Grant, OF the Chamber of Com
merce. and Edwin F. Colladay. of the
Board of Trade, urged the conferees to
hold a public hearing before they ac-
cepted the Sterling amendment which
places a tax on intangible property in the
District.
The reasons for this request were stated
as follows:
First. We believe that no legisla-
N4OA Vi NiIlS SIldl dCltI SHOulu De en-
acted into law without full con-
sideration of the very many important
questions that necessarily arise in
the District of Columbia in reference
to taxation. and
Second. We believe that no further
tax upon the citizens of Washington
should be eXaCted than those taxes
which will yield a revenue sufficient
to pay the necessary expenses of the
city government. and any tax which
goes beyond that point would seem
to be unCalled for.
We do not deem it necessary to en-
ter into any discussion of the ques-
tiOns involved. in this communication.
as we sincerely trust that the request
which we now make on behalf OF the
Board of Trade, and which. as we un-
derstand, has been made by many
other organizations in the District of
Columbia, Will be granted.
The ConfereeS Of the Senate entered
the conference determined to stand
firm for the Senate amendments To the
bill. and particularly the amendmBnt
striking out the House rider doing
away with the "half-and- half" plan
Of appropriating for the District.
This amendment was adopted by tn.
Senate by a three-to-one vote. while
in the House a comparatively small
majority was registered this year in
favor OF doing away with the half
snd-half plan.
