Cost to Government Small.
The actual cost to the government of
providing funds to provide good streets
for the taxpayers OF the District would
be comparatively small. as federal ap-
preparations run, 1t was pointed out.
For instance. there is the amount for
streets provided in the District appro-
priation bill as reported from the Sen
ate committee on appropriations. This
amount is S278.80o. If this amount is
allowed by the Senate and agreed to by
the House. the property owners on the
streets affected win pay directly out Of
their own pockets, under the terms Of
the Borland law. one-haH of this
amount, or s13s.as8. Then, under the
present system of apportionn1ent of ex-
penditures. there viii come out Of the
remainder, or $S3.550. leaving only $55, 700
to come out of the general fund. or the
federal governments share. an insignifi-
cant amount as congressional appro-
priation.
should Congress provide the $4.0o0.-
900 which Col. Keller has estimated 1t
would require to bring the improved
streets of Washington up to the growth
of the city, it was pointed out, it would
involve even less money from the fed
eral government than the Commission
ers estimated for street improvements
this year.
Out of such an appropriation the peo-
Pile on the streets affected would pay
directly from their pockets $1,000 900,
under the Borland law requiring abut-
ting property owners to pay one-half
for street improvements. Out of the
remainder. s1.280.a00 would come di-
rectly out of the taxpayers money. and
the remaining 100000 would come out
of the federal Treasury. The Commis-
sioners' estimate for street improve
,nents this year was $801.037. which
was cut down by the bureau of the
budget to S275.90O, which. in turn, was
cut BY the House to $113,600.

POLITICAL HARVEST TIME.

In looking over the field It ap-
pears that there is to be an abund-
ant crop Of candidates of all
grades. Some Of them are peren-
malls, some ANIMALS and some
that have only lately been budded.
It is preconvention time and the
process of culling is in full swing.
The business Of selecting the right
man for the right place is pre-
carious one. On both sides OF the
the political fence are expert pick
ers," men who have been delegated
by the people to go out and find the
best available material and to re-
port the result at the state conVen-
tons. Meanwhile there is much
sneculation as to who is likely to
lead his party in the forthcoming
election. Present indications are
that he will have to be a man VINO
Is able to reconcile opposing forces
and conflicting interests, of which
there seem to be many this year.
But the question which 1t Is well
for the political srbiters to keep
uppermost is as to who Will pest
FIJI the place for which he Is
chosen and whether he possesses
those qualifications that VIII IN
sure an efficient administration OF
public affairs.

throughout the length OF the

Who hath cellar hath friends.
An early cut cancer is a short

When a coward has liquor he'll

When your eyes refuse to close,

An immediate throat culture

A pan of water under the bed

eye in the pocket will cure rheuma-

Nature puts pain In an inflam-
med joint to keep it quiet; to mas
sage such a joint is therefore not
the natural thing to do.
Every pain has a purpose-to
warn us of bodily danger. Lepers
who have lost the sense of pain in
the hands or feet are often severely
burned before they discover that
they are being burned.
To massage the abdomen when
there's pain in the region of the
appendix is dangerous business.
Such procedure may rupture an
appendical abscess. A ruptured
appendical abscess means periton-
tits and peritonitis often terminates
in death. Apply an ice bag and

One day when Jacob went
out to play with the other BOYS
and girls he was greatly en-
barrassed when great rent
was torn in his shirt.
This occurred because ia
cob's mother used soap that
was too strong while doing the
family wash and the material
in the garment was damaged.
The department of agricul-
ture has issued an illustrated
booklet on the subject of home
laundering which tells how
any housewife may apply tests
to soaps which will tell wheth-
er they are too strong or too
mild, and warn her of the eff
fects they may be expected to
have on cottons, silks, or wool
