CHAMBERLAIN'S TABLETS

Chamberlain's Tablets are intend
ed especially for stomach troubles,
bjliousness and constipation, and
have met with much success in the
treatment of those diseases. People
who have suffered for years with
stomach trouble and have been un-
able to obtain any permanent relief,
have been completely cured by the
use of these tablets. Chamberlain's
Tablets are also of great value for
biliousness. Chronic constipation
may be permanently cured by taking
Chamberlain's Tablets and observ-
ing the plain printed directions with
each bottle.

WAR BUILDINGS.

Washington, city of white marble

city in the world, capital built with
a nations money and an eye to high
art, nowadays looks in many quar-
tiers like a western mining camp
two weeks after Prospecting Pete
struck it rich. The capital is boom
town now, and boom buildings are
rising like magic on every hand.
Some of them are peculiar, some Of
them are unlovely, but all of them
are going up with speed that caus-
es the oldest inhabitant to lose his
way.
Facing the Mall near the White
House is Washington's most artis-
tic row of buildings-the white
marble palaces of the Red Cross, the
Pan-American Union, and the ID. A.
r. And just back of this imposing
trio there has Sprouted, overnight
almost, one solid block after another
of one-story, featureless gray stucco,
flimsy and unadorned, like monster
barracks or laborerS' quarters in
some temporary industrial town.
These blocks of stucco house some of
the nations most important agen-
cies-the Council of National De-
Tense and the Food Administration.
One man, after glance at the
Food Administration quarters, re-
marked that it looked as if Mr..
Hoover intended to raise the neces-
