WHAT IS HAPPENING In THE
SUBURBS OF THE CAPITAL
Move Made In Alexandria Council To Buy
William A. Smoot Residence For Use AS
School For Colored Children.

ALEXANDRIA. March. .2s.-The city
will pay $4,000 for Colross, the
handsome colonial residence of Will
lam A. Smoot, If the recommendation
of the joint committee on finance and
schools, introduced in uhe. city coun-
ell last night, is adopted. The prop
erty is bounded by Oronoco, Pendle-
ton, Henry and Fayette streets, and
includes a square OF ground sur
rounded by a high brick wall. II the
purchase is made, the property will
be used for school for colored boys
and girls, the building TO be remod-
eled for the purpose. The resolution
was referred back to the committee
for further consideration. 1t was ex-
planned that the city could sell the
old school property on Pitt street
known as Snowden School and also
the Hallowen. building on Alfred
street, now used for girls, in case the
Smoot property is purchased.
Among the other business trans
acted by the council was the adop-
ton of a resolution authorizing the
finance committee to borrow $4,000
for the use of the city during the
year. The sum of 500 also was ap-
propriated for making necessary re-
pairs~to the drinking fountain at the
corner of Cameron and Royal streets,
presented to the city by the Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution. The
question OF displaying the Stars and
Stripes at Alexandria High School
was settled by the adoption OF the
suggestion of the committee and ap-
propriating $3.50 for the purchase and
erection OF two iron flag poles fifty
feet high on the high school grounds,
from which flags will be displayed.
The Department OF Agriculture has
leased the large brick building on the
east side of Washington street, for
merly used as a bottling plant by the
Robert Portner brewery, and is NOV
ing there the agricultural exhibits
stored in the Pioneer mill, which has
just been sold.

Within ten minutes after an appli. cation of Danderine you cannot find . single trace of dandruff or falling hair and your scalp will not itch, but what will please you most will be after . few weeks use, when you see new hair. fine and downy at first-yes-but really new hair-growing all over the scalp.
 A little Danderine immediately dou- bles the beauty of your hair. No diff ference how dull, faded, brittle and scraggy. just moisten a cloth with Danderine and carefully draw 1t through your hair. taking one small strand at a time.. The effect is amaz- ing-your hair will be light. fluffy and wavy, and have an appearance, of an incomparable luster, softness and luxuriance.
 Get a 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's Danderine from any store. and prove that your hair is as pretty and soft as any-that it has been neglected Q. injured by careless treatment-that's all-you surely can have beautiful hair and lots of it if you will just try . lit. tie Danderine. Adv.

worse, to waste money in work of this sort with the use of bad material.
 In building a culvert the road builder must observe three funda- mental requirements:
 1. The first requirement is that the culvert must be so placed that it will drain across the road, and under the road, of course, all the water that Is delivered to 1t by the side ditch along the road. If this be not done, the earth along the road and about the end Of the culyert will be wet and soggy the most of the year and the culvert opening will require almost constant repairs. Repairing a high way culvert is relatively more ex- pensive than similar work In a town because of the waste of time of the workmen in going to and from the point at which the work must be done. In placing the culvert care must also by brush and leaves, and this duty must be discharged by the road super visor, and will be, if he Is worth his salt.
 2. The second and very important requirement in the building of a cul- vert is that its ends must be protected by some kind of a wall or facing car ried down to a firm foundation. If this be done, 1t will be found that the end of the culvert will not be under cut by the water and will not be broken, frost. will not injure 1t, the surrounding or superintendent earth will not slide down into the ditch in front of the opening, and, with the further necessary work of keeping the feeding ditches clear, the culvert will be able to take care of all the water alongside the road.
 3. The third requirement Is that the culyert must be made so strong that 1t will not become broken and so tight that 1t will not leak. These ends can be reached by building the culvert of masonry, concrete or of good piping. The material to be used must be de termined by the relative cost of the several materials at the locality where the culvert is to be built and by the distance from the top of the culvert to the surface of the road.

REDUCE EXPENSE OF HAULING
improved Roads Put Farmer In Posi- ton Where He Can Go to Market
 Every Day in Year.

Permanent road building costs money. and it Is well to look at the cold-cash side of the proposition. True, the beneficial effects upon the social and educational standards of the com munity are not always susceptible of exact calculation, but they are certain to come : and since permanent road costs money, we must know there Is to De a profit from somewhere to offset the cost. Something for nothing has never yet been found.
 Profits from a permanent road come to the farmer in the reduction of haul ing costs. It puts him in a position where he can get to market every day ln the year, and where he can haul two loads at one trip instead of having to make two trips to haul one load.

BUILDING OF ROAD CULvERTs
f Not Constructed of Good Material They Will Have to Be Rebuilt in
 Very Few Years.

If the culverts are not built of good material they will have to be rebuilt in a few years, whatever the quality of the roads they are made to serve. Defective culverts vitiate one of the elementary principles of highway eco. monies, and the interests of tine tax payers require that the annual cost of every part of the roads built for their use be reduced to the lowest possible figure consistent with efficiency. Man. ifestly, it would be worse than folly to build culverts of boards to take care of roads that have cost hundreds or thousands Of dollars the mile and 1t would be none the less foolish, or

 Roast pork left-overs finely chopped and served with chopped celery in salad makes fine substitute for chicken.
 Cornmeal pork fritters, with a rich gravy will make a breakfast dish which is sufficiently filling for a good meal.

Add half cupful of vinegar, two tablespoonfuls of sugar, and a cupful of water; use this to baste the meat while roasting. Any leftover portions are delicious, sliced cold.

Mistaken Zeal.

An old Australian farmer visited his daughter. who had antimacassars on the backs of her chairs. As he was sitting by the window, he spied the minister coming to visit "Jean," as she was called. As she went to answer the door, her father, not being accustomed to such finery, snatched all the ant- macassars off the chairs and threw them under the table.
 Aye, Jean, lass, glad was to get yer washing oot O the way afore the minister came in," said the old man when the minister had gone.

without much loss. Such vegetables if bought or stored in season, cost less than many other articles of diet These vegetables carry a large amount of water, 70 to 90 per cent, and from 10 to 30 per cent of solids. As there Is little or no nitrogenous matter, it is important that such food should be supplied with them, an exclusive vege- table diet is consequently not desir. able. There is considerable quantity of mineral salts fin them, and the woody fiber which they contain make them an important food. When used with other foods rich in protein the tubers and roots supply large amount of fuel for the bOdy's needs. The coarse, woody fiber, though undlgested itself, holds other foods, so that the digestive juices have better action upon them. as they could not if the food were in a solid mass.
 The mineral salts in vegetables are used in various ways in the functions of the body; they also assist in the maintenance of the alkalinity of the blood, a most important office.
 We are not familiar enough with the value of vegetables, or fail when read ing their food value to put the en- phasis on the valuable constituents. Vegetables require some labor to pre- pare. hence many housewives buy canned goods which are not an econ omy to the buyer when fresh winter vegetables may be obtained. Where one cans her own vegetables in the season of plenty, canned vegetables are valuable, as they afford a larger variety.
 There should never be one spoonful of leftover vegetables wasted. Two or three may be added to a cream soup. making one a little out of the ordinary.
