!, THE "TEA PARTY"
AND THE KAISER
BY LOUIS ALBERT LAMB.

BY LOUIS ALBERT LAMB.
My grandsire painted red his hide
In ancient Mohawk style,
And crept down to the Mystic side
To wait a little while.
Then other Yanks in redskin guise
Collected at the bay
And took the tea ship by surprise
And threw the tea away.
Old George the Third was much
averse
To freedom for the Yanks;
His taxes were a deadly curse
He taxed and gave no thanks.
But when the Mohawk Boston men
Dumped all the tea to port
King George began to think again
And arm for warlike sport"
He sent his Hessians over here
To kill Cap. Bankers boys.
To burn the school and meeting house
And other such annoys;
But when they came to Bunker Hill
That jolly day in June
And Warren met 'em with a will
They piped another tune
The Yanks have got job today
That's worthy Of the race;
The kaiser treads a rocky way
And spars to save his face. =
But all the Yanks have gone to France
En- route for old Berlin:
If we buy Bonds at every chance
You bet the Yanks will win!
Our grandsires dished King Georges
And sailed all his tea.
Our boys will do the same for Bill,
Kaiser of Germany!
The only way to push the work
And make Berlin our own,
Is this: Get busy, do not shirk
But BUY THE FIGHTING LOAN"

Mrs. Dannenberg was on the verge
of tears as she told of how she had
toiIed to try and get yarn to knit

forts and how the boys had faithful

but none ever came. She has been
compelled to take boarders at her
house, and it was only the other day
when two marines told her that she
should receive part of her sons pay
she resolved to inquire about it.
81 do not want to injure the boys
in any way" said the mother, as she
told of the neglect which was shown
her by her sons, but I think that
perhaps they are spending their
money foolishly, maybe on some friv-
olous girls instead of sending some
home when they know how badly it is
needed. I would not mind much,
but do want to keep the little fell

anthracite and the other "buckwheat''
this morning. AS far as could be
learned no shipments have been re-
ceived by rail during the last three
days.
Clarence E. Billion, president of the
Manufacturers association, who head
&c the joint civic and industrial COM
mlttee, which went to consult with
officials in Washington, returned at
noon today and will make public his
report at meeting of the Fuel COM
mittee, representatives of the Cham
Der of Commerce, and members of the
Manufacturers association, at a meet
ing in the Chamber of Commerce
rooms tonight.
The Manufacturers association, fur
thering its cooperation with the fuel
committee, has devised a plan to teach
fuel conservation among the engineers
and firemen of the various factories.
The lecture, which will also be edu-
catiOnal, will also he valuable in nor
NAL times. A series of lectures, to
start on Friday, January Is, will be
arranged and the lecturer will be Ar
thur E. Heating, mechanical engineer
Co, a graduate of the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology.
Lack of cooperation by the general
public is reported by the fuel COM
mittee. While many complaints of
sickness and suffering are regarded
as true by the committee, there are
hundreds that have proven false. 1t
seems that the persons, purporting
themselves to be destitute coa1-seek-
ers, lie awake nights devising some
scheme to stock their cellars with
coal.
If all the complaints received by
Chairman Siemon were true, the city
is in the grasp Of epi1emics of pneu-
monia, measles and wRooping cough
and according to Siemon the average
birth rate would be 5l children {, day,
or II 800 a year. DR.. Walter H. Brown,
health Officer, dispells any fear of cpl
denies, in stating today that there
are only nine cases of measles six OF
whoopins cough and thus far this
n,t11th only nine deaths from pneu-
monia. These figures he declares are
Islightly below the normal for this
time of the season. Again the tales
of woe, in 80 per cent. Of the COM
plants, are proven false by the vita
statistics which show the number Of
births for last year were about 5000.
Chairman Siemon expects every
theatre, club and lodge will accede
Ito the requests but unless some ac-
ton is taken soon more drastic meas
ures will be enforced.

les of the men, and when the invita-
ton was given came to the front and
knelt in prayer. That was consider
ably over three years ago, and today
this man is an official in one of the
churches of Bridgeport"
He laid further emphasis upon the
value of the location by the difference
in numbers attending the services. For
the first six months of 1917 the aver
age attendance was about the same as
in previous year, from 1900 to $500
per month. The last six months of
1917, that is the months since the
work has been on Water street, the
attendance has varied from 1900 to
1900 per month. This difference for
the last six months of 1917 amounts to
a reduction of nearly 5000 between
the years of 1915 and 1917.
Mr.. Simpson closed his report by
thanking all who had assisted in the
work, and expressing regret that he
loses from the Board this year both

OLD FOLKS NEED
"CASCARETS" FOR
Liver, BOWELS
Salts, calomel, pills act on
bowels like pepper acts
in nostrils.
Enjoy life! Don't stay bill
ious, sick, headachy and
constipated.
Get a 10-cent box now.


Most old people must give to the
bowels some regular help, else they
suffer from constipation. The condi-
ton is perfectly natural. 1t is just as
natural as it is for old people to walk
slowly. For age is never so active as
youth. The muscles are less Ella tic.
And the bowels are muscles.
So all old people need Cascarets.
One might as well refuse to aid weak
eyes with glasses as to neglect this
gentle aid to weak bowels. The bow
els must be kept active. This is I'M
portant at all ages, but never so much
as at fifty.
Age is not time for harsh physics.
Youth may occasionally whip the
bowels into activity. But lash can't
be used every day. What the bowels
of the old need is a gentle and natural
tonic. One that can be constantly
used without harm. The only such
tonic is Cascarets, and they cost only
10 cents per box at any drug store,
They work while you sleep.-Adv.

she was boarding at State and Broad

ages of $4,000. She claims her leg
was broken, and that she is perman-

The case is being heard before
Judge William M. Maltbie and a jury
in the Superior Court. The defense
is that the company does not know
of the facts and the question of in
jury and blame is a matter for proof.

ton by paying attention to certain factors
which threaten such production.
Among the threatening circumstances

Government Ownership Favored.

The paramount interest of the gov
eminent in local transportation condi-
tions and the character of the present
emergency indicate to us the desirable
ity OF government ownership and op-
Grafton Of the street railway lines of
the District 1t seems reasonable to
assume that unification of the sys-
TENS would permit the more efficient
use OF the facilities and would result
In great economies, both in administra-
t1on and operation. 1t is therefore rec
commended that the Congress, as soon
as practicable, proceed TO the enact
ment Of such legislation as may be
necessary to acquire from the present
owners the street railway properties
now in use, and to provide for the fu-
ture ownership, control and ration
OF the street railways of the District
of Columbia by or in behalf of the
United States government"
A resolution introduced by DIR. D. G.
Aiken and unanimously adopted pro-
vides that within a year ali old cars
on the line should be replaced by new
cars, that a timekeeper should be sta
tioned at the terminus of the line dur
Ing the busy period and the rest of the
day at the w street pit; that express
