I have tried qnite a number of remedies, and though at times they relieved my suffering, they never cured me. About four months ago I noticed the advertisement of Ripans Tabules in the St. Louls+ Republic. I secured a box, and by using them as directed they benefited me more than I expected. After using three boxes of the Tabules I found that all signs of the disease had disappeared and that I was gaining in we right along, and today I can say that I am thoroughly cured.

Toronto is a striking object lesson as to the feasibility of 3 With @ com- peratively light traffic she has proved that in the management ef a well-equipped street car system everything over 2 cents is absolute profit, and that it is possible to reduce the operating cost to an even less figure. Not only does the city derive a large revenue from the system, but the company itself, with its stock watered up to $6,000,000, pays a fair annual dividend. All this, it is to be observal, is on a basis of an average fare of less Nan $ cenis. * * * Your correspondent w&s assured on excellent authority that thé street car company would not put back all fares to the maximum rate, even if it had the power. The lesser rates during the morn- ing and evening hours have stimulated trav- el to an extent that justifies the eniarge- {ment rather than curtailment of those hours. The same authority is responsible for the statement that the company will scon vol- untarily propose a universal 3-cent rate at all hours of the day. The bicycle craze has struck Toronty with a force that means the loss of $200 or $400 a day to the street car company, and it is believed that the only way to meet the new conditions is by a further reduction in fares. At all events the next time the city bas an opportunity to amend the contract regarding fares it will force a universal 3-cent fare with- out regard to the company’s willingness.

NEARLY READY TO RUN The Motropolitan Company Completing the F Street Line. The Underground Electric System Will Be Shortly in Operation Across the City. The main line of the Metropolitan Rail- rcad Company, extending from 15th street northeast to Georgetown College, is nearly ccmpletely equipped with the Connett un- €erground electric system, only a very short section of the tracks at the P street bridge remaining to be put in place. The cable to conduct the electricity is hung throughout the greater part of the con- duit, and as the remainder is all on hand this will take but a very short time. If the weather continues good and there are no unavoidable delays it is probable that repid transit on the F street line will be an accomplished fact before July 1, but it will certainly be before the Christian Endeavor convention brings its thousands of strang- ers to the capital. The power house at P street has been put in thorough condition, and fire was built in the furnaces yester- avy, so that electricity may now be gener- ated ata few moments’ notice. Eight of the hew motor cars which are being manufac tured fcr the company, will®be shippe: from St. Louis next Saturday, and m will follow at brief intervals.

President Phillips said this morning that the motor cars for the F street line were far superior to those in use on 9th street, | and that a short time schedule wouid 1 arranged between trains. The recent ac- tion of Congress precludes the possibility of the tracks of the Metropolitan being | used by the cars of the suburban lines that connect with them to the extent of making d of con- such use unprofitable, Congress baving de- clared that no fares could be collected on the cars of one tem while they wer running ov tracks of anoth This | conditi hich will prevent suburban car from carrying pay } ngers inside thi city HMmits, will prot « e the com- panies to continue the present transfer arrangements. ——_-> THE CAPITOL FRIEZE.
