Work Of the Merchants and Man.
ufacturers' Association in lining up
business establishments under N. r.
A. codes was indorsed by Gen. Hugh
S. johnson, national recovery admin
istrator, in a letter received yesterday
by the M. & M.
The trade body has been respon-
sible for formation Of code authori-
ties for various fields, including re-
tailers, coal merchants and jewellers.
Gen Johnson's letter said, in part:
THE spirit in which chambers of
commerce and trade associations ac-
cepted the responsibility placed upon
them, and the constructive way In
which they have performed in their
respective communities and industries
is to be highly commended. Espe-
cially is this so since the service rem
dered involved, in many instances,
the sacrifice Of regular programs Of
activities and the raising of addi-
tional funds to supplement their
budgets.
such service to the community,
the State and the Nation is the
greatest Endorsement of the value OF
the chamber of commerce and trade
association movements. With the as
sistance Of these organizations, the
N. r. A. program was advanced with
speed and efficiency. Public service
in this field justifies the most ade-
quate support, financial and other
wise, not only Of every business man,
but Of every citizen"
The retail code authority for the
District, Of which Ralph Goldsmith Is
chairman. is proceeding with the col
lection of assessments against busi-
ness houses here at the rate Of 81
per employe to defray the cost Of
operation of the authority.
Coal merchants are assessed by the
code authority for the solid fuel in
dustry at the rate Of one-fourth cent
for each 500 tons sold during 1898.

internal troubles, DR.. Louis Hamman
Of Baltimore, Md. told the physicians.
Usually, he said, it means "coronary
occlusion," q closing of Of the coro-
nary artery that connects directly
with the heart and which has serious
consequences.
However, such pain may also some
times indicate something else wrong
with the heart, lungs or abdominal
organs, though the symptom is SO
much like coronary occlusion that it is
difficult to distinguish.
The pain may mean some sort OF
disease with the organs Of the upper
part of the abdomen, pericarditis or

that laxative habit

Medicine-laxatives often churn
about in the stomach for hours
Just because they can't get by
that pylorus valve.
Not only that, most medicine
1axatives work by irritating the
delicate membranes of the diges-
tive tract-lose their force when
taken regularly-compel you to
keep increasing the dose.
That's why more than $4,000
physicians recommend Pluto
Water. For Pluto is not a drug
or medicine-laxative but a saline
mineral water. The same amount
each time-no need to increase it
always performs, does not
gripe, gives positive results in
less than one hour. It cannot
give you the laxative habit!
Pluto Water is gentle but
speedy. 1t promptly opens the
pylorus valve - permitting the
flush to enter the intestines with
out anxious hours of waiting.
The proper dilution-one-
fifth glass Pluto in four-fifths
glass hot water-is practically
tasteleSS. Take it whenever
sluggish-get results within
an hour-and end that laXa-
tive habit! In two sizes:

CHICAGO, April 18.-To minimize
your chances Of catching infantile
paralysis, stay in a region where
stomach and intestinal ailments are
common-that Is the prescription
drawn from discoveries by DR.. John
A. Toomey Of Cleveland.
DR.. Toomey reported new theories
about infantile paralysis today to the
American College Of Physicians.
His research showed that apparently
there Is some connection between in
fantile paralysis and diseases Of the
digestive tract, and tnat people in
regions where intestinal troubles are
prevalent develop an immunity that
protects them from the infantile
paralysis virus.
Not Prevalent in China.
DR.. Toomey said that in Southeast
ern United States, where intestinal
troubles are more common than In
some other sections, and in China.
where they abound, infantile paralysis
Is not prevalent. Presumably, this IS
because Southeastern Americans and
the Chinese have more immunity.
Three new conclusions regarding in
fantile paralysis were drawn from evil
dence disclosed by DR.. Toomey's ex-
periments:
Its most probable channel Of entry
to the human body is through the
mouth, stomach and intestines.
It Is caused by q combination Of
virus-an organism too small to see

has become "almDt extinct" and med

iums that he favors, DR.. Eggleston
went on, "the greater part of the ex-
pense. particularly for the patient of
limited means. will have to be met by

This was suggested to the Board

with the Traffic Bureau and the
Board of Trade in dispensing traf-
fic information to children. Per-
mission was readily granted.
A new text book, What About
Alcohol" by Emil Bogen, M. D.,
will be introduced into the schools,

The board approved the new
tuition rates for children who
live outside of the District. The
yearly schedule follows: Teachers

Pay Off in Beer
Slot Machine
Faces Test

Is a full house good for half
a dozen stems of beer. or
what?
The good old-fashioned habit
of dropping a nickel in the
slot and perhaps winning a
round of drinks on a poker
hand is seriously objected to
by the ABC board, which has
gone to the length of summon
ing to the District Building
this afternoon, Mrs. Edith
Stern, of the HOO block of
Good Hope Rd. N. E., in whose
restaurant the police say they
found a nickel in the card
playing device which paid out
in liquor. Winning hands were
good for merchandise, and that
included beer or anything else
the house afforded.
The police report in the
hands of the ABC board says
that after Private Roy Blick
had played the machine and
won 20 cents worth of beer
he told John Stern, husband
of the liquor licensee, that he
was under arrest.
The case today is the first
one that the ABC board has
instituted against premises
with gambling machines, which
Chairman Offutt declares is a
violation of the liquor law.

employment list of the Civil Ser
vice Commission have decreased

airy 10 and September IS of this

commission began keeping a rec
ord of what has been happening
to those on the unemployment
list the number has decreased.
653 in Permanent Jobs
During the entire period 653
probational appointments have
been reported. This means that
that many employees on the list
have been given permanent ap-
pointments, since all who are
given permanent appointments
are placed on probation for a
limited period.
Nine hundred and forty.six Of
the 1886 have been reinstated or
transferred. which indicates that
this many have been placed back
in the classified civil service with
out having been subjected first
to the probationary period.
Eligibility Expires
The eligibility of 1922 of those
on the list in January has ex-
pired since that time, The eligi-
bility expires after name has
been on the list for a year, unless
the person requests continuance
on the list for an additional year.

list for other reasons" have been
459, according to the commission.
Meanwhile, the number who at
one time were on the reemploy-
ment list and have been carried
as serving temporarily" in the
Government service has dropped
from 482 on January Is to 1877 on

D. c. VOTE Law

Several Washingtonians inter.
ested in both sides of national
politics met in the office of Cor
poration Counsel Prettyman to-
day to discuss the old question
of a law for the District regulat-
ing the local election of delegates
to national political nominating
conventions.
The principle quetion dis
cussed today was whether such
a bill should be in short and gen.
eral terms, placing the conduct
of primary elections in the hands
of local political committees or
whether the proposed law should
provide in detail the election ma
chinery, the qualification for
voters and the method of meet
ing expenses.
It was indicated by those pres
ent at the conference that they
would appreciate further time for
elaboration and agreed on an
other conference for october II
when the views of leaders Of
both Republican and Democratic
parties would be presented.
Those present at the confer
ence today were Mrs. Virginia
White Speel, John P. Mullen,
William NICK. Clayton, Jesse Will
son, Edward F. Holiday and
Samuel j. Prescott, Corporation
Counsel Prettyman, and his as
sistant, Elwood H. Seal.

Personally, 1 believe that bet
ting is wrong. AT least, when.
ever I bet it is.
Ted Lewis was telling me,
that not 50 long. ago, he took
a chance on q Chinese lottery
land although he didn't win
any money, he did collect q

HOPE FOR RETURNS
Because of the belief by the

England, but it is sincerely
hoped it will be brought back"
When 1.-THE Vim Fiz Flyer" is
