SPRING SUGGESTIONS.

Avoid draughts and sudden changes Of tempe
nature.
Do not discard your warm winter clothing too
soon. II IL better 10 suffer little Inconvenience
than TO take cold.
Remember that ono ia especially liable to con-
tract bad cold or chill at this season of the

A cough or cold contracted betwocn the sea-
cons Is tho most annoying kind, and may last
through the summer.
II you feel cough or cold coming on, take
drink OF pure whiskey at once. II will keep the
blood in circulation, and Is the best preventive
against the diseases Of the season.
Remember that only pure whiskey should be
taken. Dury's Pure Malt Whiskey has the
strongest recommendations from the leading
scientists and medical men. IL Is the only stand
ard medicinal whiskey. Take no other from your

To he Editor of he Dispatch:
At ameeting of Whites Neck Farmers
Alliance, No. 1916, the following views were
unanimously expressedland asked that you
publish the same as the views OF our Al
lance in place of others sent u.s.
First. We think it wrong for the State to
dispose of its interest in either the natu-
raj rock or planting-ground by sale. and
that they should continue the property OF
the State. =,
Second. The riparian privilege should
extend TO one acre on the front of the
landowners shore, which should be IN
fee simple.
Third. The State should manufacture or
have manufactured under supervision OF
its duly-accredited officer all tubs for
measuring oysters of galvanized iron In
such way as they cannot be enlarged,
and enforce their use by heavy penalty III
all Virginia territory. Also should endea-
vor to induce the State of Maryland to
adopt like standard.
Fourth In each county there should be
appointed responsible man as oyster sur
yeyor who should be well versed in oyster
culture and practical oysterman, whose
duty it shall be to allot to each lessee OF
oyster shore by actual measurement and
placing permanent marks for, such shore
and make q return of same TO the Commls-
sloner of Revenue and receive as pay for
such survey twenty-five cents per acre and
no more. The Commissioners OF Revenue
TO return same in the annual statement OF
taxables made to the Treasurer TOR collec-
ton.
Fifth. We think that if there is to be a
State oyster inspector the commandant of
the oyster navy should discharge that
duty. .,
sixth. The boundaries between natural
rock and planting-grounds to be perm,an;
nently fixed and what 10 natural rock"
decided by statute.
Seventh. If the oyster navy is to be con-
tinued. which is solely for the tongers'
benefit by protecting natural rock, the
parties clustering on natural rock should
nav license-tax on each boat so engaged
TO aid in paying for their protection.
Eighth. The oyster season should begin
September LIST and close April LIST III all
Virginia waters.
No single lessee should have more than
fifty acres of shore allotted to him:
Ninth. The rent of the shore should DO
Graded in no case to exceed one dollar per
acre and not below twenty-five cents per
acre as the shore may DO worth, ascer-
tanned by the Surveyor. -,
Tenth No oysters to be taken from the
natural rock measuring less than two and a
half inches in length, to be enforced by
heavy penalty alike on FISHERMAN. buyer,
or vessel.
Eleventh. Shore should be leased for
twenty years with privilege OF renewal,
and all shore so rented should be Guilt
waited either by lessee or his sgents on PEN
atty of forfeiture of lease to any one who
may sue for same.

congregation. At night DIR. KIRBY. State

Methodist church. The speech was on q
higher plane of reasoning and more en-
liehtened views expressed than usual for
temperance advocates. II was devoid Of
venom aud ipvectiye, was entertaining and
instructive, and calculated to accomplish
a vast deal for the advancement Of the
cause espoused BY the speaker. DR.. Kirby
