Building Cut on Bias"

Cut on a bias and so sloped that II
appears mighty unsteady on its under
pinning. the stand in course of erection
at the south side of Pennsylvania avenue
between the Municipal Building and the
Southern Railway Office Building is at
tracing more than usual attention from
passersby.
why Wherefore? When and how?
are among the questions being asked rel
ative to the anatomy OF the stand. One
fellow passing along the street yesterday
afternoon looked at the stand then turn
Ing to a friend remarked that II he had
been drinking he would think that he
had them"
What's the idea7" he asked. do you
see the same thing that / do! Say. II
a fellow started from the southwest cor
ner OF that affair, he would land some
where, sometime. maybe. wouldn't he?"
The stand in question is higher on the
southwest end than at any other. 1t
slopes to the north, and also to the east,
at different angles and while It will
probably look all right to the occupants
on March s It is hard on the eyes Just
now.
1t may be that the stand Is erected
after q new style of architecture in order
that its occupants may view the inaugu-
raj procession as 1t comes up the Avenue
as well as when it passes in front OF
the structure.

''Marse Henry watterson, dean of
American Journalism, in reply yesterday
to telegram of eongratulation sent to
him by the National Press Club on the
occasion of his seventy-seventh birthday
a few days ago, expresses his apprecia-
tion of the good will of his professional
comrades" and in patriotic spirit declares
that at this moment of peril and trial
there should be no other thought than of
the unstained honor of the heritage Of
glory we hold in trust, because that lost,
nothing else is worth preserving" In his
letter. which is addressed to Grafton s.
wilcox, president. and Morton NJ. Mil
ford. vice president of the club, by whom
the telegram was signed, the famous vet
eran editor says:
Il return your salutation with hearty
thanks 1t has equally touched and

Price OF SUGAR DUE
FOR SLUMP, is CLAIM
Dealers Blame Strikes for Present
High Prices.

The price OF sugar is on the decline AMI
there is no need for worry, according to
the retail grocers and sugar dealers OF
Washington.
Inc public became unduly alarmed, the
dealers say, with the result that the pub
lie bought larger quantities of sugar than
they needed and thereby drained the sup
Ply. Enough sugar is on hand in Wash
ington, it is declared, to satisfy the ordi-
nary demand.
Labor receives a good share OF the
blame from the dealers. Sugar refinery
laborers and shippers have been striking
for higher wages. thereby tying up the
shipping OF the supplies in the store
houses and the refining and manufacture
of the large supply OF sugar cane which
the country possesses.
Although the dealers have not been
able to obtain the commodity in the last
few days. there is absolutely no shortage
IN the sugar source. As soon as labor is
obtained, they promise. the shortage will
be stopped and the prices will drop back
TO normal.
Before the present shortage sugar sold
retail at from 5lz cents to 7 cents per
round. Yesterday 1t sold from 10 to l.
cents per pound. A few dealers charged
as high a. Is cents per pound. Others
have never gone above cents.

Man pofsons himself by the absorption
Of certain substances that should be elm
inated-this is the cause of so much
rheumatism" is the statement Of a well
known authority.
Many pet theories about rheumatism Of
tn. Joints, that Is chronic arthitis, have
been smashed during the past few years.
The old idea of meat causing rheumatism
is ridiculous; JUST think of the large num-
Der of vegetarians who suffer from
rheumatism. These people never eat
meat. Cases have been known where
people living entirely without eating meat
were great sufferers from rheumatism.
These people would go SO long without
meat they would become so weak they did
not have sufficient strength to throw OF
the disease. Just as soon as they began
eating meat once a day they began to
improve, and with the help of a good
medicine like Dreco, were well in a short
time.
Great harm has been done by the ordi-
nary rheumatism medicines because they
not only disturb the stomach, but often
fail to relieve the pain or contain some
thing that relieves the pain for the time
