Failure of the 1930 District budget | estimates to provide for “one item of | major improvement” for the city, and the fact that the $9,000,000 lump sum appropriated by the Federal Govern- ment toward Washington's expenses will form only 2215 per cent of the budget | for that year, was stressed by Dr. George C. Ha Federation of Citizens' Associations. in Association in Sher- | wood Presbyterian Sunday School Hall last night. While declining to condemn the small | percentage_which the $9,000.000 lump made, Dr. Havenner pointedly recalled that when the sum was first authorized in 1925 it formed over 32 per cent of the city's expenses. Should Have $1,000,000 More. “On the 1925 basis we should have almost a million dollars more from the Federal Government,” the federation president declared. Dr. Havenner expressed frank dis- | budget to provide for the elimipation of the dangerous grade crossing on of a railroad viaduct. He deplored the abandonment of a plan formulated several years ago, looking to the yearly elimination of a grade crossing, the establishment of needed comfort sta- tions and other “major improvements.” ‘The speaker quoted figures at length | to show how in 15 years Washington's budget had multiplied three times. One feature brought out by his statistics was that the citizens' leaders have been working to get the eastern half of the city paved, and asked Thomas .T. Llewellyn, member of the Rhode Is- land avenue group. and chairman the highways, parks and committee of the Federation zens' Associations, to see that thos efforts were continued during the com- ing_vear.

Willlams was brought into police headquarters about 9:30 o'clock this morning. He was immediately booked and then taken before Inspector Henry G. Pratt and Detective Joseph Waldron, and was closeted with them for 45 min- utes. He could be seen through the door of the office, smoking one cigarette after another, telling the story of the hold-up. He seemed frank and unafraid and talked to the officers with assur- ance and good humor. After being photographed and his finger prints taken he was again ques- tioned, this time by Waldron alone for more than an hour. From the District Building he was taken to the first pre- cinct and lodged in a cell. While he was inside the building be- ing questioned hundreds of curious per- | | sons gathered outside, hoping to'get a | | glance at him.

Less risk of “flu” if you do Precautions you can take immediately "THERE is no use worrying every time you draw a breath for fear you will breathe in some influenza germs. Do the following two things and forget it: First, kecp your nose and throat well protected, and | second, keep your system in good con- dition. The chances are you will avoid contagion. ““As a first precaution, I am prescrib- ing Mistol to all my patients, as it protects the nose and throat against the germs of influenza. Use it every morning, the first thing, before you go out. Again when you come home at night. Don’t be afraid to use it freely; it will do no harm. “Just tile your head back and apply Mistol with the special dropper which comes with every package, until you feel it triekling down your throat. It will clear your head won- derfully, relieve any inflammation; it willhelpdry ugz running nose. It | has a soothing effect on the throat, too. Gargle it for a sore throat or a | little irritating cough. Above all, it | protects the nose and throat against | the germs of influenza. ““This is the first precaution; now for the sccond: Physicians agree that, particularly in times of cpidemic, | weakening of the system duc to purging by laxatives and cathartics | 1s not advisable; thercfore, many doctors are prescribing Numl It is | not a laxative or cathartic but a pure, natural substance that helps your two things system function at all times the way | nature intended it to. Like pure | water, it is harmless. In no case does | Nujol cause weakening of the syse | tem. Take it night and morning; it will keep you in first class condition. | You \ufifizwc a far better chance to resist “‘flu” or any other diseases | that are going the rounds. ““The combination treatment of Nujol and Mistol is a double safeguard against colds and influenza. Start this wise twofold precaution now. Don’t delay. Put worry out of your mind. The chances are good that you will escape influenza and colds. Nujol and Mistol are on sale at all druggists.” —Advertisement. | | i | IR | | IR | | o 7 ,"’Té@% ~ T R 7, % Z, N e & . » NEW K& Jz7, ESS Tangerines Dozen ..... & v V‘ Grape- Fruit .. 3 for ; Iceberg Lettuce. .
