Col Harts Makes Adverse Report.

Col. Harris the engineer officer in charge
of public buildings and grounds. to whom
the Commissioners letter was referred.
made an adverse report to the chief of
engineers, on the general ground that
the transfer of the two reservations to the
Commissioners would deprive the people
of those localities of the use of the reser-
vations as parks
ut is believed" says Col Harts, that
no additional park area should be used
as children's Fairgrounds. Strenuous OBJ
jections are made by residents in the
vicinity of reservations used for that pur-
pose, as IL is claimed by them that sucn
use depreciates the value of their prop
erty. Children's Fairgrounds are usually
occupied by apparatus, are noisy, and
frequently untidy, and for these reasons

Huge Refugee Population.

The magnitude of Russia's economic
burden is appreciable when 1t is con-
sdered that the country has received
already, since the beginning OF the war.
a refugee population far exceeding the
combined citizenship OF the Scandina-
Wan countries, while the resources OF
the country have been taxed to the ut
most to provide for the wandering peo-
pies whose homes have fallen WITHIN
enemy lines and whose means or i've
lihood are either temporarily or per
manently forfeited.
The wretched condition of the refugees
has been steadily improved through the
systematic efforts of the Russian govern
ment working through the various refu-
gee committees. These committees, look
ing beyond the immediate necessities. are
succeeding in distributing the migratory
population throughout the interior. en-
couraging their colonization in fertile ag-
ricultural districts and giving them work
in making boots. all sorts of clothing and
other Immediately marketable articles
A great number of these refugee products
are now in use by the military and civil
population. Specia! schools have been or
ganized in many parts Of the country for
refugee children and every means taken
to prevent the war victims from becom-
ing a burden to the state.

American Committee Aids.

The American relief committee, headed
by Thomas Whittemore, working in con-
junction with the Tatiana committee or
ganized by the empress has made valu-
able contributions to the relief work and
is now devoting its energies to meeting
the Rumanian problem. Temporary bar
racks and numerous food Kitchens have
been established at all distributing cen
ters to receive the incoming Rumanians.
From these places the Rumanians will
be sent to the interior.
Despite all efforts however. the enor-
nifty of the task has defeated all efforts
to adequately handle the gigantic migra-
ton of people brought about by the war.
The refugee ranks have been inevitably
thinned by disease and many have fallen
victims to cold. lack Of proper food and
clothing and the insanitary conditions
which are bound to accompany the sud

Recreation Areas for Adults.

Under authority of an act of March 3.
1913, large areas in the Presidents Park.
the Monument grounds and in Potomac
Park are now devoted to recreation pur-
poses for adults, and these facilities are
being extended as fast as funds will per
nit. The use of parts of these parks for
such purposes is not Objectionable. owing
to the large size Of the parks and the
fact that they are not in residential
neighborhoods. The use. however. Of the
smaller parks in such neighborhood for
recreation purposes. especially children 8
Fairgrounds, is considered as decidedly
Objectionable to those who desire the
quiet enjoyment of our parks.
''On account of the opposition referred
to. II is recommended that the request
of the Commissioners for the use OF those
portions of reservations 19 and 126 not
now occupied as chiidrens playgrouds
be refused. in order that the areas which
have been reserved for park purposes for
the benefit of the people of the neighbor-

Spaces Already Provided.

"All in this Office agree fully with the
chief of engineers that recreation ia
cilities for the city Of Washington are
of the utmost Importance. Park space

Defense Appropriation Not Large

The contemplated appropriation of $685,343,-
O1727 by Congress for the defense of the nation
is so large that some narrow minded persons
cannot grasp it. Some people have become hys-
terical over the vast sum. They cannot under
stand figures that go into the millions. The gov
eminent in proportion to the greatness of Amer
lea is not appropriating more money than the city
of Richmond appropriates annually for fire and
police defense. There are hundred millions OF
people in the United States and they own more
than one hundred and fifty billions of money
When Congress passes tremendous appro-
priation for defense, it is only spending little
money to protect the lives and the property of
millions of persons hence, it is natural that the
sum should be so large that it staggers most of
us. One ought keep in mind always that big
appropriation by Congress usually goes for big
project. the Pork Bill excepted of course and that
millions of persons share in the benefits that will
be derived from the expenditure.
The contemplated appropriation is not too
large for a country whose territory and resources
are so great and manifold as those of the United
States.

AN EASY WAY TO GET
FAT AND BE STRONG

The trouble with most thin folks
who wish to gain weight is that they
insist on drugging their stomach or
stuffing it with greasy foods; rubbing
on useless flesh creams" or follow
ing some foolish physical culture
stunt, while the real cause of thinness
goes untouched You cannot get fat un-
til your digestive tract assimilates the
food you eat
There is a preparation known to re-
liable druggists almost everywhere
which seemingly embodies tn" missing
elements needed by the dig -stive or
gans to help them convert food into
rich, fat-laden blood This modern
treatment is called Sargol and has
been termed the greatest of flesh
builders. Sargol aims through regen-
erative, re-constructive powers to coax
the stomach and intestines to literally
soak up the fattening elements Of
your food and pass them into the
blood where ev are carried to the
starved, broken-down cells and tissues
of your body You can readily picture
what result this amazing transforms
ton should produce as with increased
weight the cheeks fill out, hollows
about neck, shoulders and bust disap-
pear and from 10 to 20 pounds OF solid,
healthy flesh is added to the body. Sar.
gol is absolutely harmless, inexpensive,
efficient. Glen Thistlethwaite's five
stores and other leading druggists of
this vicinity have it and will refund
your money if you are not satisfied, as
per the guarantee found j. every pack
age.
NOTE-Sargol is recommended only
as flesh builder and while excellent
results in cases of nervous indigestion,
etc. have been reported care should
be taken about using it unless a gain
of weight is desired-Ldv.
