A Street.-The Study Needed.

Stressing urgently the need of a
comprehensive scheme of street treat,
ment that will preserve the arboreal
character of the Capitals thorough.
fares while providing for adequate traf-
fic space, the Commission of Fine Arts
urges upon the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission the study
of the question, not merely for the
bearing upon immediate street-widen-
ing projects, but upon all future mu-
nicipal administration affecting the
highways of the Capital.
This subject appropriately falls with
in the scope of the Park and Planning
Commissions range of advisory &C.
tivities. The streets of Washington
are to be considered as part of the
park system. In their original char
acter, long maintained, they were
powered highways, virtually boule-
wards, in respect to maintenance of
shade trees. The fact that owing to
lack OF adequate funds, the develop
the enormous increase in traffic the
trees have been neglected and in some
cases sacrificed does not warrant
abandonment of this distinguishing
feature of Washington. In fact, there
is the strongest possible reason for
making every effort to restore the
losses that have been incurred and to
maintain the tree system in circum-
stances permitting the most satisfac-
tory maintenance of these valuable
growths.
Much more money than has been
available for a good many years is
needed for tree care and replacement.
But, in addition, there is need Of
definite scientific study of the best
means Of caring for the trees in the
changed conditions. When Washing.
ton was originally laid out and for
many years following the streets were
unpaved. The trees had full opportu.
nifty to grow naturally. But with the
paving Of the streets the trees were
deprived of proper nourishment. The
impervious surfaces in large measure
kept the moisture from their roots.
The laying of gas mains and electric
wires handicapped them. Thousands
Of them have died because of the poi
soning OF the soil from these sources.
No comprehensive study has been
made as to the proper selection of
trees to meet the conditions Of today
conditions that obviously are adverse
TO the growth of certain species while
9 permitting the development Of others.
The District has no proper nursery in
which to provide young trees for street
planting. 1t has no means for making
Q test Of planting conditions.
1t would be well in these circum.
stances for the whole question to be
taken up by the Park and Planning
Commission. possibly through the De-
partment Of Agriculture, which has
facilities for soil study and expert.
mental planting. It would seem that
4 this is the proper time to make this
survey or research, inasmuch as street.
widening enterprises are under way
and replantings are contemplated.
Washington must not lose its dis
+ tinctive character as city Of street
shade. 1t should have the best that
nature can provide in the way Of trees.
The Commission of Fine Arts takes
the initiative to this end, and through
some other agency the work should
be carried to a satisfactory conclusion.

Doctor at SO Finds People
Still Prefer His Prescription

The basis of treating sickness has
not changed since DR.. Caldwell left
Medical College in 1875, nor since
he placed on the market the laxa.
tive prescription he had used in his
practice, known to druggists and
the public since 1892, as DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin.
Then, the treatment of constipa-
ton, biliousness, headaches, mental
depression, indigestion, sour stom-
ach and other indispositions that
result from constipation was en-.
tirely by means of simple vegetable
laxatives, herbs and roots. These
are still the basis OF DIR. CaldweIl's
Syrup Pepsin, which il a combina-
ton OF SIENNA and other mild laxa-
tive herbs. with pepsin..
DR.. Caldwell did not approve of
drastic physics and purges. He
did not believe they were good for
human beings to put into their
system. II grown people want to
use them no one can deny them the
privilege, but they should never be
given to children.
The simpler the remedy for con.
stipation, the safer. for the child
and for you. and the better for the
general health of all. And as you
can get results in a mild and safe
way by using DR.. CaldweIl's Syrup
Pepsin, why take chances with
strong drugs? All drug stores have
the generous bottles.
