CLAYTON OPPOSES
CONGRESS BUYING
TRACTION LINES
Citizens Oppose Law En-
Forcement Work by
Police.

Congressional condemnation and
purchase Of the street railways sys-
TENS Of the District for purposes
Of leasing or selling them to pri-
vate parties for operation would be
financially hazardous at this time,
was the statement included In a
report made Saturday night by Will
liam Mex. clayton, chairman Of the
committee on public utilities Of the
Federation of Citizens associations.
at a meeting of the association In
the board room Of the District
building.
The report by Mr.. Clayton read
as follows:
1. Congress has the undoubted
power to condemn and take over
and operate any public utility In
the District Of Columbia.
2. 1t Is open to grave question
whether congress has the right to
purchase for the purpose Of leasing
or selling said properties to private
parties for private operation.
3. That condemnation at the pres
ent time might well be a financially
hazardous experiment.
Requires Heavy Financing.
4. The minimum necessary bond
issue required to finance the int
tial purchase of the street railway
and electric light properties would
be some s4.5o0.oo These. bonds
would have to be issued and guar
anteed by the United states.
5. Unless the companies accept
the condemnation valuation the
courts would be appealed to ahd our
experience in the valuation of the
public utilities commission now ap-
pealed from would indicate that the
natural span of a mans life would
be crossed before final determine
tion.
Mr.. Clayton's report was ap-
proved as his Individual opinion.
A storm of discussion followed
the introduction of a resolution by
the Petworth Citizens Association
by George Finch chairman of the
committee on law and legislation on
the Endorsement Of the District
commissioners petition to congress
to enact a daylight-saving law.
standing vote resulted in a tie OF
IA votes for and against the
measure. A roll call vote was
taken and the Petw"rth resoiution
was adopted, II to IA.
Approve Oysters Activity.
Other reports from the law and
Legislation committee included a res
olution advocating that automoblles
should not be housed in frame build
ings within the fire limits. The
bill recommended by the District
commissioners providing for the
restoration of the original rate of
interest of per cent a month which
loan companies and pawn broker:
were formerly permitted to charge
and which, IT was brought out, diff
fers from another bill which pro-
vides a rate of interest at 3 pei
cent a month to pawn brokers only
and jpurports to leave unamendet
the present rate of 1 per cent OF
small loaEs on paper security. wa,
unanimously approved.
Commendation was made Of Com
missioner James F. Oyster in hi
enforcement of the anti-gamblini
and anti-hquor laws. and a resolu
tion passed pledging him support
and cooperation.
In concluding. it was resolved tha
the Citizens federation should adop
program relative to the stree
railway situation whereby all con
stituent bodies would be urged t
unite in a solution of the problem.

TELLS STORY FOR
HIS BETTER HALF
A Wilmington Man Relates
How Plant Juice Was the
Only Ono to Help.

ITO maket the world safe for Democracy
u now the battle-cry Of Americans, and
the old maxim In time Of Peace prepare
for War" was never more aptly illustrated
than in the present introduction II Plant
Juice. in Wilmington, for the most cruel
war that hss ever been waged u that Of
disease against the human body the more
cruel because the body IL 20 seldom pre-
pared for the invasion Of disoase and the
fancied security of health proves nothing
but a scrap OF paper"
The world il full OF people who are
suffering from stomach, liver and kidney
troubles and their attending symptoms
II is a ccaseless battle for existence. We
cannot hope 20 change these modern
conditions but look elsewhere for relief
Plant Juice, the new herbal stomach
medicine, is the logical answer, as in
attested by the signed statements made
by well local known people who have
been restored TO health by this famous
preparation.
Take, for instance, the case of Mr. John
c. Gildersleeve, of No. 6I5 East Fifth
street, who has lived in Wilmington for
q number of years and has many friends
here. He tells how his wife was restored 20
health by Plant Juice as follows:
PLANT juice IL a marvellous medicine.
My wife had stomach trouble for long
time and all tho medicines she took fall
ed TO give her any benefit; the least bit of
food she took would cause great distress;
she had pains around her heart from gas,
could not sleep at night and got so weak
that she would have 20 20 10 bed for
days at time; she was very nervous and
restless. Plant Juice was the only medicine
TO give her any benefit and has brought
about complete change in her She now
has fine appetite, sleeps the night
through and has not an sche or a pain; !
she is not nervous any more. She has a
fine color in her face and looks like |
woman. She is in fine spirits |
now-full of energy and ambition We !
are both convinced Of the merit of Plant |
Juice anc glad TO recommend ii TO Others"
The Plant Juice Man is at The Miller /
Drug Store, 4o4-4o6 Market street, where |
he is daily meeting the local public and /
and explaining the merits /
Of this remedy. Free samples given.
