CAPITALS GUESTS

Hearken, mothers. Especially those
of you who fret, fume. get nervous
and grow thin every time your pre-
cious darling "snoodikums" cuts
loose with a bawl, swallows it's bot
tie, or renigs on certain food. Listen
10 the story of siX-month-old
cherub, who, since first opening her
eyes on a delirious world, has travel
ed more than 1000 miles on railroad
trains, never lost a wink of sleep
nor caused her parents a moments
worry and who is today as healthy
specimen as one would wish to
see.
At the Lee House little Barbara
kishpaugh, angel child" of Mr.. and
Mrs. 7, j. S. Kishpaugh of Phila-
delphia and Hartford, kicked high
her chubby trilbies, and tossed and
cooed Lets go!' or it's equivalent in
baby talk. Only the night before
the dinpled traveller had arrived in
town after a continuous journey
froma South Bend. Ind, but a matter
OF thousand miles more or less is
absolutely nothing in Barbara's
young Hfe, and, evidently aware that
her parents contemplated leaving for
Hartford that afternoon, she prob
ably failed to see the sense of stick
ing around Washington.
Barbara first saw the light of day
last June out at Garfield Hospital,
ands never since then has her father
who Is .one of the best known tax
attorneys In Philadelphia and New
England-taken trip that she and
Mrs ktfhpaugh haxe not oa9 ACCOM- oine

crib, and when night comes all Mrs.
Kishpaugh does is to slip her into
1t. give her vacuum bottle of milk,
IL .~1r- 10
berth, and nothing more is heard
of Barbara until the porter bellows,
''The next stop is yours
Travelling must agree with her.
Said the fond mother. for she ha
never had a sick day in her life. We
have been all over the east, north and
central west, and l have yet to hear
one complaint from others on the
trains about Barbara disturbing them.
She seldom cries, and it's really un-
canny how her little eyes brighten
when MIR. Kishpaugh and | talk about
going to another city. She is only
six months old, but | truly believe she
understands"
Waving Barbara bon voyage" who
should be encountered on leaving the
hotel but the little travellers proud
father, who, too, praised most highly
his daughters good behavior
At one time Mr.. Kishpaugh served
as chief of the amortization section
of the income tax unit, and is well
known by many in that department
of the government. Asked about con-
ditfons as he found them in his terri
tory, the tax expert said:
Business has taken a wonderful
brace since President Coolidges mes
sage, including Secretary Melons
tax reduction plan, was made public.
As an example of it's effect on the
business world let me cite one sDecfsc
case, that OF friend of mine. a well
known importer of English worsteds
In New York.
Prior to the declaration of an extra
dividend by the Steel CORPORATION, and
the announcement of Mr., MeIlon's 9
tax-reduetion suggestion, this inn
porter was forced to cancel order aft
er order. and things had begun to
LOOK serious. but Immediately fol-
lowing the action of the steel COM
pany and the Secretary's proposals
rot only We're the Cancelled orders re-
ne"ed, but the merchant was literally
sWamped with new business.
AFTER stating that business through
out New England was near to normal.
Mr.. kfshpaugh spoke enthusiastically
OF the results being attained by the
commission appointed to investigate
NVA pIdttlCiHB PHYSICIANS IN Con-
nectfcut and other parts of New Eng
land
Tn Hartford, alone" he said.
eighteen licenses to practice medicine
have been rescinded and the commit
tee has hardly started its work.
Things had reached a, sorry pass in
many parts of Connecticut. The un-
principled would buy school and medi-
cal college degrees from fake insti-
tutions in other states, present their
10 fnf In
Examining Boatd of Connecticut, and
three-year reciprocity license would
be granted themsto carry. on their me-
farious business. A thorough clean
up now is looked for. hos ever"
Another visitor from the states. who
served here during the war, is Will
liam Newton, large soap manufactur-
err of Omaha, Neb., who. with Mrs.
Newton, is spending few days at the
Raleigh Hotel.
Mr.. Newton looked after the pur-
chasing of soap for the government
during the time our troops were
over there" and while here made
many friends.
He reports, business in his section
as fairly good, with farmers still cry
ing over low prices for crops.
How about the presidential candi-
dates, Mr. Newton?"
Know absolutely nothing about
politics." was the laughing reply.
Don't mix up in them; lose little
sleep over what is being said; will
walt until the nominees have been
chosen and then vote for the man
who L think will make the best
President"
AS stress has been laid upon love
of travel it might be in order to close
with bit about the remarkable
fight for life made by DIR. Eugene
Christian of New York city, author,
lecturer and international authority
on food, who stopped off at the Cap
itol Park Hotel en- route by motor
for st. Petersburg, Fla.
In December, 1898, two of the most
noted physicians in the country told
the food expert his fight was over;
that he might as well make his will;
return. to- his native Tennessee and
wait around for the call. Today,
twenty-five years after receiving that
verdict. the same DIR. Eugene Chris
tian, now sixty-five years young, is
speeding for dear life in his new
$4,000 automobile for the land where
the love birds sing.
One of the. pure-food pioneers of
America and, dietician of interna-
tional grepute. the New York physi-
clan Is motoring south to prove to
himself and the world that Prof.
Osier was all wrong; that a man past
sixtys~ff he takes care of his health,
is of more value and use than one
twenty years his junior. DR.. Chris
tian left his Tennessee. home at the
age of fourteen to make his way in
the world. He gradually rose to a
position of standing in his profession,
when his health failed and the YER
dict of death was pronounced.
