Mrs. James Creamer, Who Was Up in Night to Care for

ANACOSTIA, D. C. MAT 25.
That the malicious effort to flrd the
dwelling of James Craig, resident of the
cteel plant road, near Glcsboro', at
night, while his family and himself lay
In bed asleep, was thwarted through the
vigilance of a woman, Who had arisen
to care for her restless child, Is regard
ed as probable In the light of the lnvcs
tlgatlon that is being made. Mrs. James
Creamer, a relative, whose homo Is closo
to that of Craig, was attracted by the
glare of fire In her neighbor's yard. She
looked out of the window and discov
ered the blaze on the porch of the Craig
house.
The Investigation made so far Indi
cates that an effort was directed first
toward setting the rear of the building
on fire. Matches were found lying about
there, while the side of the houso was
scorched. '
Craig Is employed at the steel works
at Qlesboro . According to his state
ments and those of his family they have
no enemy.

Flans for Improving the street light
ing in the eastern section of the city
were approved today by the Commis

electric lamps are to be Installed In the
thoroughfares surrounding the Capitol,
Congressional Library, Sennato and
House office buildings, and the Union
Station, and In Delaware avenuo from j
the Union Station plaza to the Capitol
grounds and East Capitol street from
First to Thirteenth street, including the
four sides of Lincoln Park. The lamps
are similar In style to those surround-,
lng tho Whlto Houso and Treasury
building.
Elliott Woods, superintendent of the
Capitol building and grounds, has un
der consideration, also, a plan for Im
proving the lighting system In the
grounds by the substitution of the elec
tric lamps for the present Inclosed arc
lights.
The Increased cost of tho street light
ing for tho first year Is estimated by
W. C. Allen, electrical engineer, at J7.156.
To defray this added oxpenso the Com
missioners have decided to postpone the
Installation of a new lighting system In
F and G streets northwest, and to apply
the appropriation of $6,9.10 contained In
their estimates for this purpose to the
Improvement around the Capitol
grounds.. Threo months ago tho ques
tion of contributing towards the cost of
Improved lighting in these streets In a
manner similar to that adopted by the
Commissioners In Seventh strcot was
submitted to the merchants, who were,
however, unablo to agreo to the pro
posal. The Installation of now lights
around Iowa circle also will be post
poned and the appropriation of ll.226.CS
applied to. the Improvement around the
Capitol grounds.
Work will begin soon after the appro
priation is available, July 1, and It is
expected the (new system will be In
operation by early fall.

A Remedy No Family
Should Do Without
No matter how healthy a human Do
ing may be, it Is safe to say that not
many months are passed without some
obstruction of the bowels; In other
words, constipation, even if only temp
orary. Tho bloating, the dull feeling may
start after the evening meal. If a lax
ative is not taken that night it is certain
that sleep will not be sound, and you
will awaken unrefreshed.
Hence, It Is Important for you and for
all the members of your family that a
good, reliable laxative be always kept
In the houso for Just such emergency.
It is sure to be needed, and when needed
you want it at hand. No family that is
careful of its health can do without
such a remedy. But the question of
which remedy to havo at hand is also
of vast Importance.
The laxative most highly recommend
ed by the majority of intelligent Ameri
cans as being best for babies and
grownups Is Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pep
sin. It Is a llnuld. laxatlve-tonlc mild.
vand never grlpeB, is effective on robust
pcopie ana can oe given wun oaieiy
to an infant. Children like it because
of these gentle qualities and because
it Is pleasant to the taste.
It Is the best all-around remedy you
can have In the house for any dlsordor
of tho stomach, liver, or bowels, and
many people like Mrs. W. A. Craig, 1020
Pa. ave. S. E., Washington, D. C, and
Rev. C. W. Hick, 150 Ohio ave., Charles
ton, W. Va., say they would as soon be
without the necessities as without Dr.
Caldwell's 8yrup Pepsin.
Anyone wishing to make a trial of this
rcmedv before buying it in the regular
way or a druggist at uriy cents or one
dollar a large bottle (family size) can
have a sample bottle sent to the home
free of charge by simply addressing Dr.
W. B. Caldwell. 405 Washington Bt,.
Montlcello, III. Tour name and address
on a postal card will do.
