Problem of Mules Burial Solved fol

New York, March 11.-By the time that
Capt. Joseph Farrell, of the Quartermas-

of her demise. and SO a decent burial

Yet under army regulations Genevieve
could not be pronounced officially de-

proof thereof-and even in life GenevieVe
was a difficult mule to move.
While Capt. Farrell pondered over this

Greenwich Village in an Awful Stew

Special to The Washington Herald.
New York March ll-From the Purple
Pun Restaurant to the Azure Dinosaur
Corset shop the word went yesterday all
over Greenwich village. 1t was terrible
news too! The crowd in Patchin square"
and the coddlers in Cornelia street were
indignant.
How dare the Tenement House Com
mission inspect the privacy of their ar
tistic novels to see II they were obeying
the fire prevention rules and cooking in
a place not legally designated "tene-
ment house, The idea! Every one Of
the artistic villagers was indignant.
Whats the world coming tor asked one
indignant futurist painter, soon the
Marriage License Bureau will be send
ing out inspectors, and, then. oh dear
The idea was too horrible for words.
Anyway. this is what has happened.
Attention of the Fire Prevention Bu-
reau was called to the fact recently that
the members of the artists colony in the
Washington square Latin Quarter were
doing their cooking, clothes boiling and
other functions of daily life requiring
heat over gas jets. gasoline stoves and
even matches. This is against the law.
1t might cause a large fire and destroy
some useful buildings and handicraft
nearby.
Therefore the bureau complained to the
Tenement House Commission that the
laws of the tenement houses were being
violated. Under these laws certain build
ings are designed as tenements-regard-
less of whether an apartment costs IS or
1000 a month. In these one may cook.
But in studios. old buildings and other
structures which do not conform to the
tenement house laws one may not cook.
Therefore half of Greenwich village,
which does light housekeeping. was wish
ing for a light house to do it in or else
took an almost anarchistic form Of de-
light in cooking on the sly.

there would never be the demand and
universal satisfaction derived from Plant
Juice. 1t does all and more than is

Following is the signed testimonial of
a well-known Washington citizen which
speaks for itself:
Mr.. d. Floyd Michael, who resides at
No. 655 Kenyon street. and is in the en-
ploy of the government, recently made
the following statement:
I have suffered with stomach trouble
for the last four years. and all the food
ate fermented and formed gas; I suf-
fered terrible pain after eating from gas,
which pressed against my heart and /
thought I had heart trouble; at times /
could hardly get my breath. I could not
sleep at night and became very nervous
and weak. My liver was affected and
made me very dizzy at times. 1 haG
headaches and my whole system was
shot to pieces 1 had tried so many
different kinds of medicines that I was
completely discouraged of ever finding
anything that would relieve me, as none
of them did me the least good. I had
heard so much about your Plant Juice
that finally decided. as a last resort, to
try It. 1 can now sleep well, eat my
food and digest II, am not nervous or
dizzy, and feel that life Is worth living
once more. I am glad to indorse Plant
Juice"
Such words as these and those OF
many others which have been printed,
have wide influence, for they come from
men Of standing and integrity who have
given Plant Juice a fair trial and have
been greatly benefited
