A DANGEROUS
PRACTICE.

Wilmington is being flooded at pres
ent with samples of medicine and sew
eral children are reported to have sui.
fered thereby. The samples are pills
of various sorts aud fell into the hands
of the children. 1t is only year ago
that a child was killed by eating tab
let's which the tot supposed to be
candy The advertising may be legit-
innate in itself but there Is too much
danger about it. 1t is time to stop
the free distribution ofmedicinal tab
let's from house to house If the med
icinc would get into the proper hands
it would be all right but such does not
happen.
Even large boys follow the distribu-
tors and gather up the samples. They
then meet smaller boys and give them
the medicine and the little follows be-
lieve that they arc eating candy. Inc
best way TODD with such samples Is
to destroy them at once.

TO HOLD
A MEETING.

A meeting of the milk shippers
along the line Of the Wilmington 70
Northern Railroad will he held in this
city tomorrow, in the office of the
company. Free transportation will
be given them so that they cannot
have any excuse FOR not attending.
Considerable interest Is felt among
the farmers, for the reason that they
do not know what the outcome will
be. A rumor has been circulated to
the effect that their milk, which is
sent to Philadelphia by way of Else
mere, over the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, will be taken north to Bros
boro and down The Reading main line.
The proposed route Is considera-
bly, longer than the old one, and the
milk would necessarily be longer en-
route to the detriment Of the said ar
ticlc. This, the farmers object to, on
the ground that their milk would be
apt to turn sour in hot weather, and
and could not compete with milk
shipped direct to the city.
Some of the farmers talk of send
ing their milk to the Hires plant, at
Malvern. and Others are talking Of
establishing routes in West Chester.
A man who is looking after the
interests Of the Company expresses
the opinion that the farmers will be
givcna fair hearing and will be treat
cd with due courtesy.

HEARTS OF THE BLrE RIpGE.

A better title could not have been
selected than "llearts OF the Blue
Ridge for that one exactly de
sclibes The play in which Dorothy
Lewis is starring. The story tells
Of people who live in Blue Ridge
Mountains Of North Carolina and it
is SO well told that it brings with it
all the breeziness Of the locality, al.
the natural grandeur OF those fam.
GUS mountains and pleasing quaint
ness aud simplicity of all the people
who dwell there. The region de.
scrhed, abounds in material for the
dramatist being full OF romance
and rugged beauty. Dorothy Lewis
is delicious in her portrayal of
Missy Reynolds, as she is sup
ported by an exceptionally strong
company il is not surprising that
Hearts OF the Blue Ridge is such
a success. This appears at tn &c
