BOSTON, Boston is preparing to
alter some of its most cherished his
toric features to meet the demands of
modern conditions. Small strips are
to be sliced from Boston Common,
training ground fr troops in Revolu
tionary days, and treading of the tow
er of the Old South Meeting House,
where the famous "tea party" was
hatched, is contemplated. Traffic pro
blems, ae-jte in this city of narrow
"cow-lane" streets, in each case are
responsible.
The paring of the Common on two
sides of its 43-acre area has been
sanctioned only after the overcoming
of long-standing opposition by those
who held that no considerations of
modern development should disturb
this revolutionary landmark and pre
sent day breathing space in the city's
center. Several years ago the voters
turned down a proposal to shrink the
Common in order to swell the streets
But in the recent city election the
voters in all but two wards declared
in favor of widening the streets from
Common lands. The two wards which
opposed the plan are in Charlestown, I
seat of another historic shrine. Bunk
er Hill Monument
Coat promise Agreed Upon
Under the plan which is a compro-
promise- arranged between the street
commissioners and the Boston Com
mon Society, Tremont and Boyston
streets, which bound the Common on
two of its sides, will be widened to a
maximum of 43 feet instead of 60 to
60 feet as first proposed. They will
be accomplished without sacrifice of
greensward or trees, as the cuts will
be made from the broad walls of tne
Common. The compromise plan car
ried with it an agreement that no
further invasion of the Common would
be made.
Bought for Cow Pasture
Boston Common was boutrht in 1643
by Governor Winthrop and others as
a common cow pasture and training
ground, and was one of several such
tracts of communal lands and planting
gro-Jnas. loday it is the sole remain
der of these ancient commons, other
noiamgs having passed into private
hands, .
Past History Record
It Was On Boston Pnmmn.. tt,n. M
olutionary soldiers drilled; from its ! IrUft
limits at Park Square, then the Back I
Bay in fact as well as in name and -
nw "made land", the British started I 17jl9
for Lexington on April 18. 1778. On '
the Common the British mustered ,
their forces to attack Bunker Hill and .
British artillerymen set their guns on
Flagstaff Hill during the siege of
Boston. Colonial expeditions set our.
against Louisburg and Qjebec from
the old Common, and Massachusetts
regiments assembled their prior to go
ing to the front in the Civil war.
Would Cat Meeting House
The proposal to cut into the Old ,
South Meeting House which was built
in 1729 to obtain partial relief from
traffic congestion on Washington
street, is still ander consideration.
Mayor Peters approved the idea: the !
Old South Association, guardians of i
the edifice, fell in with the plans un
der certain conditions, and the street I
commissioners reported in favor of
the change. The conditions named by
the association; however, including a
demand for payment for the property,
which is in the section of highest val
uation, have delayed acceptance.
Main Church not Touched
Under the plan -the main part of
the church, in which the colonists
worked out plans for the "tea party",
and which was later used by the Brit
ish as a riding school daring the siege
of Boston would not be disturbed. The
tower which Juts out some twenty
feet from the front of the edifice,
would be extended to run flush with
the tower fron; end the sidewa'k mov
ed back to lead li'ettly to tht arc-de.
An additional 2t fee of street srwe
at this point would ease consiilernl.'y I

Life Is not merely to live, but to
live well, eat well, digest well, work
well, sleep well, look welL What a
glorious condition to attain, and yet
bow very easy It is If one will only
adopt the morning Inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split
Ung headache, Jtuffr from a cold, foul
tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach,
ran, Instead, feel as fresh as a daisy
by opening the sluices of the STBtem
each morning and flushing out the
whole of the Internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of limes tone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, Urer, kidneys and bowels the
.previous day's Indigestible waste,
sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal before
putting more food Into the stomach.

waste and acidity and gives one a
splendid appetite for breakfast Wall

The millions of people who sre
bothered with constipation, bilious
pells, stomach trouble, rheumatism;
others who have sallow skins, blood
disorders and sickly complexions are
urged to get a quarter pound of lime
tone phosphate from the drag store
which will cost very little, but to
sufficient to make anyone pro
nounced crank on the subject of
Internal sanitation, .

WOODUOW WILHOX
THE war could not liavc been won without railroads.
Transport by rail and sea is an indispensable ,
. arm of national defence. -
Carrying capacity, from the wheat fields and the
mines and the steel mills to the front lines in France,
was the measure of our power in war.
And it is the measure of our power in peace, '
Industrial expansion increasing national prosperity
greater world trade aro vitally dependent on railroad
trrowth.
The limit to the productive power of this country is tho
limit set by railroad capacity to haul tho products of our
industry. . v. .
The amount of freight. carried on American rails doubled
from 1897 to 1905 since that year it has doubled again.
' It will double tilU again, : - - . .
To haul this rapidly growing traffic the country must
have more railroads more cars and engines more tracks
'and terminals, .
' t "
Sound national legislation, broad-visioned publi .(filia
tion will encourage the expansion of railroads, without which
the nation cannot grow. .
