Tract of Forty-Seven Acres.

VI the portion Of east Potomac Park
hich adjoins the railroad embank-
Tuent there IS a cleared tract contain
iuE about forty-sevcn acres which is
well suited for the veterans camp. Mr.
Harper says. Street car facilities are
provided by the WashingtonNirgin
line ard the bureau" line of the Wash
iugtou Railway and Electric Company,
which extends down 14th street to
Water street.
MI Harper hopes to get Clarence P.
King president of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company. to
agree 10 install switch 1t the foot of
I4fh street. so that a shuttle car
service can DC maintained between
that point and 14th street and Penn
sylvania avenue during the veterans
eucampment.
The laying of sewer and water pipes
through the Ellipse and the installa-
ton of electric light mains would be
extremely costly, Mr.. Harper pointed
out, but the cost would not be SO great
if Potomac Park is used. He said the
reunion committee may consider a plan
to have jitneys operate between some
central point in the downtown section
Of the city and the proposed veterans
camp for the benefit of the men in
gray, who would be carried free or
charge. The money saved by the less
costly plumbing facilities would ena Bile
the committee to do this, Mr.. Harper
believes.

SOUR STOMACH

This is mild form Of Indigestion
1t is usually brought on by eating too
rapidly or too much, or Of food not
suited to your digestive organs. If you
will eat slowly, masticate your food
thoroughly, eat but little meat and none
at all for supper, you will more than
likely avoid the sour stomach without
taking any medicine whatever. When
you have sour stomach take one Of
Chamberlain 3 Tablets to aid digestion.
