The week's earnings or the month- Iy salary can be divided approximately.

In h divisions there should al- ays bo some money set aside for the | proverbial rainy day. It may be a very. very small a ant, but it will grow if | always set aside. and the satisfaction that is feit in such a sum more than repays any slight curtailment. A good way to make the division of the sum remaining after subtracting the housing and rainy day sum is appor- tion a definite sum for food and such segular bills as gas. electricity, telephone, milk and car fares or commutation tick- | ots. if there is a transportation expense. and also for amusements.

Jahuary 25, 1796.—Congress will not | need to appropriate any money to aid in the erection of bulldings to accom- modate the Federal Government in the new seat of government, in the opinion of a select committee of the House, which submitted a4 report today after investigating the financial affairs of the new.city. The report gives an ac- count of the progress that has been made thus far in preparing the city for its intended uses, and says that in the opinion of the committee the funds derivable from the city property “are fully adequate . . . . withoui any aid from the Treasury of the United States.” According to the report, the expend: itures thus far have amounted to $374,- 250, which are covered by $192,000 from the States of Virginia and Maryland, X for 200 lots sold to individuais and $106,578 from the Greenleaf-Mor- ris-Nicholson syndicate, which has con- tracted to purchase many lots in the city. The estimate of the City Com- missioners as to the value of the lots still owned by the public, as reported by the committee, is $1,393,790. This figure is based upon the average price of the lots already sold. ‘The report fails to state that Messrs. Greenleaf, Morris and Nicholson have failed to pay the whole of the second installment of the purchase money on the lots which they have contracted | to buy. The Commissioners ‘are quoted | by the committee, however. as being of the opinfon that it would be unsafe “to calculate on strict punctuality in the payment of the instaliments as they | become due.” though they assure the committee that “there will eventually | THE DAILY HOROSCOPE I:m«l other indisposit Thursday, January 26.

Then, the treatment of constipa- tion, biliousness, headaches, ntal depression, indigestion, sour stom from constipation was entirely by means of simple vegetable laxatives, herbs and roots. These are still the basis of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. which is a combination of senna and other mild laxative herbs, with pep- sin.
