TRY WORLDS WORLD TONIC
LAXATIVE AID FOR
MUCOUS CONDITIONS
COMMON COLD AND CON-
STIPATION AGGRAVATE IN
FLAMED MUCOUS
MEMBRANES

Objectionable mucous dropping in
the nose, mouth and throat are germ
laden dangers which may affect
other important organs with lnfec-
tion. Common colds as well as con-
stipation are aggravating factors in
these conditions and the laxative aid
of the Famous Worlds Tonic, with
alkalines, is offered for relief. Dull
pounding headaches and stuffed head
should be attended to at once. Nasal
stuffiness rendering breathing diff
fcult should not be intensified by
faulty elimination. Many misleading
symptoms have been proven by laxa-
tive aid to have partial source in
the clogged filters of the intestinal
tract. Thorough constipation relief
has exposed as unwarranted numer-
Gus symptoms indicating advanced
stages of sickness to many worried
sufferers.
The laxative aid of the Famous
Worlds Tonic is already we'll known
for its soothing relief and preven-
tion in common cold situations. This
same feature is worthy manner in
which to aid checking of mucous
condition. An interesting story in

my husband and | have both used

off the cold. Now we are giving hen
Worlds Tonic in small doses several

Fine Appealed

The Supreme Court was asked
yesterday to decide whether a Mas

claims of painless dentistry.
DR.. Fred P. Brown, North Easton

Although Mr.. McNutt's friends
generally predicted his acceptance
of the appointment would be help
full to his presidential campaign,
some Senators said he may have
hurt his chances.
One of these, Senator King, Dem

McNutt had demonstrated courage"
by openly seeking the nomination
and, until his acceptance Of the new
position, had been "a formidable
candidate"

added, that by this change of face
he has affiliated himself with Sem

are advocating a third term for
President Roosevelt"
Senator King said he thought
the McNutt appointment would
strengthen the presidential candi-
dacy of Vice President Garner.
Garner now is the only one in
the field with the courage to stand
out and seek the nomination" he

Iowon, Trying
To Mail Cards,
Gets Service

There was a time, for a few min
utes last night, when j. M. Forbes
OF Jefferson, Iowa. was amazed, nay
overwhelmed, by the extraordinary
service Uncle Sans postnen seemed
to be giving him.
Mr.. Forbes, who is staying at lib
B street NE. during his visit to
Washington, walked down to the
corner in the dusk last night to
mail few post cards back home.
He found a small gadget at
tached to a lamppost and sought
the lever which would open it SO
that he might deposit his cards. He
twisted and fiddled around for some
time without much success, when
suddenly there came the sound of
sirens and rushing engines.
Mr.. Forbes told the uniformed
men who piled off the truck that
he really hadn't expected all this,
just for few measly little post
cards. Why, the cost of the stamps
would hardly compensate them.
One of the men took Mr.. Forbes
aside and explained that he had
been trying to mail his cards in the
fire alarm box and pointed across
the street where the mailbox stood,
shining and unused.
The police decided Mr.. Forbes was
an innocent victim of circumstances,
but declared that they would pre-
sent the case today to the corpora
ton counsel to see if any further
action would be taken.

price fixing"
Mr.. Murphy contended that the
price, set for district 2, which in
cludes Pennsylvania and parts of

a ton above fair price, for slack

Gas Light Co. Plans
To Broaden Stock
Ownership
Parent Trust to Place
Shares on Public Sale
After Consolidation

The Washington Gas Light Co., in
a registration statement filed with
the Securities and Exchange Com
mission today, proposed to give its
parent trust $4,000 shares of common
stock for the Alexandria, Va, and
Hyattsville, Md, gas concerns on
condition that the trust offer for
public sale all of the 1862 ,58S shares
of Gas Light common stock 1t now
controls.
Ultimate aim of the proposal, it
was indicated, is to consolidate the
three gas companies more closely
(they are now under the same man
agemenD fscally and to make pos
sible ownership by large number
of local stockholders rather than by
a Massachusetts, trust, which con-
trolls 30 per cent of the stock at pres
ent.
No Price Is Set.
The issue of the 1862 ,588 shares of
common stock, if approved, would be
handled by the First Boston Corp.
and Glore Forgan & Co. Washing
ton & Suburban Co.'S, Massachu-
setts common law trust representing
the Chase National Bank and af-
flliated interests, owns the Wash
lngton company and the two sub
urban plants.
Terms of the registration are in
accordance with a June Is, 1899,
opinion of the Public Utilities Com
mission, Robert c. Overs, vice
president and treasurer of the gas
light company, declared.
No provision regarding price of
the common stock involved or the
precise terms of the transaction are
made in the petition. Mr. Overs
said. These details are to be taken
care of in amendments to the pc
tition, he added.
Three Petitions Denied.
Since September, 1886, three petit
tions of the gas light company re-
garding possible purchase of the
Alexandria and Hyattsville concerns
have been denied by the Public
Utilities Commission. The first two
reflections were due, in part, the
commission said, to the fact that
the suggested price was too high.
In denying the last petition-in
June-the commission stated that
the price for the two suburban firms
must not exceed $1,O50,O00 and that
payment must be made in common
stock. Solely for the purpose of
the transaction the commission
suggested payment by not more
than IS, 900 shares, at reasonable"
price of not less than $50 share.

Glenn Dale Nurses
Protest Transfers
To Ga||inger Hospital
Shifts Reported Planned
To Make Way for Is
CoIored Appointments

Nurses called meeting at Glenn
Dale tuberculosis Sanatorium, at
Glenn Dale, Md, today to protest
against the reported transfer of
some white nurses to Gallinger Mu-
nicipal Hospital, allegedly to make
way for appointment of colored
nurses at the sanatorium.
Officials in charge of the District
institution could not be reached to
explain the situation.
1t was stated at the Office of the
District health officer that about l6
colored nurses were to be appointed
to the sanatorium, and in order to
make way for them about Is white
nurses were to be shifted to Gal
llnger Hospital The white nurses
object to such a transfer. None
would be dismissed.
One reason given for the proposed
transfer was that colored nurses now
were high in the register for gradu-
ate nurses on the civil service reg
lister, from which new appointments
must be made to Glenn Dale.
If the colored nurses were ap-
pointed, 1t was explained in one
quarter, the colored nurses would be
placed on duty in the colored wards,
and the remaining white nurses
would stay on duty in the white
wards.
DR.. j. Winthrop Peabody, general
superintendent of the sanatorium,
referred all inquiries to the Office of
the District health officer, and to
the open meeting at the institution
itself. He said he had been out
OF the city on scientific business and
was not thoroughly conversant with
all details of the situation.
To Issue Statement.
The nurses, after conferring on the
situation, announced at the sana-
torium about pm. that they were
waiting for DR.. Daniel Leo Finucane,
assistant superintendent of the in
stitution, who had been in the city
during the morning. They prom
ised to issue statement after con-
ferring with him.
First indication that some kind
OF change was brewing at the in
stitution came several days ago,
when all nurses were called into the
auditorium. After they had assem-
bled, however, they were dismissed
without explanation. This created
q mystery.
Some time later the nurses learned
that movement was afoot to trans
fer some of them to Galinger.
Rumors varied as to the reason for
the change, but it was definitely
indicated that they were to be dis
placed by colored nurses. Objection
arose to the proposed transfer, and
the nurses organized a committee,
which took up the matter.
Complaints reached headquarters
OF various nurses organizations here,
but officials of these organizations
said today they had been unable to
find out the facts in the case, al
though they had made careful in
quiry.
Like the Work There.
Officials of the Health Depart
ment have had difficulty in getting
nurses who would be willing to serve
at the sanatorium, which is located
in the country. But those nurses
who have finally been obtained were
said to like the work, and desire to
stay.
