Over fifty years ago a young
physician practiced widely in a
rural DISTRICT and became famous
for his uniform success in the
curing of disease. This was DR..
Pierce, who afterwards estab-
lished himself in Buffalo, N. Y,
and placed one of his prescriptions,
which he called Golden Medical
Discovery" in the drug stores of
the United States so that the pub
lie could easily obtain this very
remarkable tonic, corrective and
blood maker. DIR. Pierce manu-
featured this Discovery from
roots and banks "a corrective
remedy, the ingredients of which
nature had put in the fields and
forests, for keeping us healthy.
Few folks or families now living
have not at sometime or other used
this Golden Medical Discovery"
for the stomach, liver and heart.
Over twenty four million bottles
of this tonic and blood remedy
have been sold in this country.

MIR. Gard. .ner'S Electric Light
Rate Proposition
By BILL PRICE.

The proposition of former Commissioner GARDINER
to permit legal merger of the W. T. and f. and Potomac
Electric Light Company with increased rates to electric
light that street fares may be returned to
cents basis too late to bring the relief which the
public of Washington is demanding and Congress
to realize is a righteous necessity
In the first place majority OF the Public Utilities
Commission-Coonel KUTZ and LOUIS BROWNLOW-
have steadily and consistently held that of electricity
and street service must each carry their respective
loads; that the rates for electricity must be fixed upon
basis of valuation and proper returns street rates must
be adudged upon the basis The Commission
composed will not change its policies and Congress is not
likely TO dictate through the passage OF laws
that will compel the Commission to alter its views
There time before this street situation be-
came so complicated and ntoerabe when the plan of Mr.
Gardiner might have been wisely accepted expedency
only not to stand as fixed principle Had 1t been done
eighteen months ago the financial affairs OF the w. h. and
E. would not be weak the public might have agreed
to it emergency matter and voluntary merger might
have resulted
II is today merely distraction from the sraight-cut
issue that Congress must find way to compel merger
of street railway companies in behalf of the riding public
Furthermore it is the patriotic duty OF the railroad in
terests here to get together somebody is short
changed 95 cents exchange of securities The
public being shorchanged every day extent greater
to the average in than sockholder OF
either of these companies could possibly lose in almost
deal that be made unless he happens to have big
chunk of which he feels ought to be turned into
small fortune for him.
Congress has very great power making laws in the
District and despite the view of Mr. Gardiner that it can
not compel merger it will probably find effcacous
of doing so that can not be defeated in the courts
There is the unquestoned right of condemnation and
operation by the municipality there is the right Of fixing

made and they be changed by the courts aer

of the various companies This bill will equalize earnings
of the two companies through change of taxaon the

of the unfair burden resting the shoulders of
the public; give better service and greater confidence.

MY DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:


Being a constant reader OF your
wonderful advice, wonder II you
could help me a bit, as 1t would be
greatly appreciated.
Upon meeting a young man at
a private party he asked II ne
might have the next waltz, ana 50
we danced. Then. when the dance
was over, he asked me with whom
did / come, and I Immediately tola
him my sister. Upon this he asked
to accompany us home, and wheh
reaching home he asked IL he might
call again. and SO he did for six
months. At that time he was work
ing in baltimore, but came about
four nights a week, just as IL forty
miles were nothing. This being in
tho summer, we had some wonder
ful trips together. until I really
learned to like him better than
anyone else.
Then, in September, his hrm
moved to New York. and l did not
hear from him for month be-
cause he was ashamed TO write Tor
the reason that he broke an en-
gagement with me, but later
found out that he was sent with
the firm unexpectedly. Then. on a
Saturday four months later, 1 re-
ceiyed a letter apoloGiZing for the
broken engagement and trying TO
make amends. then thought
things over and decided to answer
the letter and kept on answering
his letters until Christmas, when l
received a letter saying that IL
would be impossible for him TO
come on for Christmas, but that ne
had hopes OF coming some time in
the spring.
Christmas came. didn't even
receive n card from him, and have
not heard from him since What

The tendency of the times is to
assume that one man is about as

know all may know.
Ignorance concerning birth con-
troll has been a good thing for the
world thus far. Women always
wanted children, men didn't Saw
ages, ancient and modern, would
not be bothered with the care and
expense of them if they could
help it. Nature was wise to force
children upon them. just as nature

Perhaps you can help merout. l

particular person. | have my ideal
but never expect to find him as
We are all human
What / wanted to know is the
reason why the married men, bach
elors and old men OF my acquairt-
ancc seem to care so much more
for me than young men of my own
age. I do not want you TO mis-
understand me in this. / do not
mean that l am in the habit of
keeping company with these men,
HVHN a In n Will
thom L find that j seem moro to
their liking than 10 younger men.
Also 1 have heard through girl
friends compliments passed by them
on my appearance and looks in gen
eral.
Also why Is that those whom ]
love do not care for me and those
who love me l do not care for.
BILLY.
It's, a curious fact that real
young men are apt TO be more
quickly attracted to the woman"
type of girl than to the "girl"
type. The boy Of eighteen or
twenty is sure to be attracted by
the buxom woman of thirty and
pass by the slip of girl OF his
own age. Even when they are
attracted 10 girls of their own
age, it is usually to the mature
type Of girl. 1t is only when
they get older and their taste i'm
proves that the slender "jeune
file" type appeals. Of course,
that is not always so, because
there is no general rule that
fits all cases.
Your last plant seems to have
been the plant of women since
the beginning of time. The ones
we want never want US. and tho.
ones we don't give a continental
for are always kicking around
under our feet. Sometimes /
think il is our indifference which
attracts those we don't want, and
that IL is our cagcncss that
drives away the ones We would
like TO attract.
