MILLIONS A YEAR
Incredible Amount of Money Lost BY
the Working Glasses.

The money lost annually by Skilled
/ workmen of all occupations figures uI
to millions of dollars and is becoming
greater every year. This amount OF
money represents mainly time lost and
the serious effect upon the social COM
fort of the workingmen and their farni-
lies is evident. Mr.. George v. Ham
! mond. of No. 610 N. State street, Taco
ma, Wash. said the other day:
Il have lost my share of time but l
am thankful that 1 have not been los
ing and of late
You don't look as if you had lost
much through sickness"
No, and don't feel SO. But the fact
remains that I was a very sick man. L
took cold along in 1889 and rheumatism
settled in my arms and shoulders. L
suffered for three years and nothing re-
lieved me until in April. 1892, 1 began
to use DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People and found relief in the second
box took five boxes in all and now
am entirely cured and have had no oc-
casion to use them since"
There is a popular idea that rheuma-
tism is caused by exposure to cold and
that some localities are infected with it
more than others. Such conditions fire.
quently promote the development of
the disease, but, from the fact that
rheumatism runs in certain families, it
is shown to be hereditary and conse-
quentIy a disease of the blood.
Frequently an individual. in whose
family rheumatism has not occurred,
develops the disease, and when a dag
nosis Of the case is made, it is generally
found that the ailment is due to a de-
rangement of the blood.
External applications may afford
a. Iseaf but To- he GO
1T is necessary to treat it through the
blood
DR.. williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie go directly to the seat of the disor-
der. purifying and enriching the blood
by eliminating poisonous elements and
renewing health-giving forces They
are a positive specific not only for
rheumatism, but for all diseases arising |
from poor blood or weakened nerves. |
They are sold at fifty cents box or
six boxes for two dollars and half, |
and may be had of all druggists or d. |

i SURPRISING STATEMENT

That the Eastern Shore, notwithstand-
ing its very great adaptability to truck
farming, does not raise enough vegetables
to supply It's own demands would hardly
be credited, but snch appears to Be the
fact. + is said by close observers that
more cabbage from the North and Michi-
gan to instance one product, is shipped
20 the Eastern Shore for home consump-
tion than is grown here. Whether this
Is really true or not, it is claimed that
the demand for vegetables generally on
tie Shore is greater than the production.
and the trucking industry in this section
i capable of enormous and exceedingly
profitable development. Not only the
cabbage crop. but the round potato crop
is not sufficient to supply the home de-
mand. Thousands of bus hels Of potatoes
are yearly brought to the Eastern Shore
from Baltimoresand other cities and c6fn-
mand good prices. Il certainly seems
that these conditions should not exist.
with plenty oi.fertile |and and aclimste
adapted to the growth of these vegetables.
Instead of being buyers of these products,
the Eastern Shore should raise enough
TO supply the home demand and have
surplus to sell abroad, While the East
eFn Shore farmers andl truckers are psy-
ing much atteption to the fruit and melon |
crops. they should spot neglect the veoe- |
liable crops as asdg Se Of revenue.-f7e /

INTEREST IN THE GOVERNORS

The conviction of Nehemiah Harmon.
Jr., the mulatto, at Georgetown, and the
possible subsequent sentencing of the
prisoner to be hanged, has caused some
speculation as to what will be the atti-
tude OF Governor HUM. The last man
hanged in Delaware was Thomas Willis.
at New Castle, in 1896, and the Governor
has had to deal with no capital cases.
The Governor is member of the Society
OF Friends, and strict Quaker about his
habits and customs. One of the fore
most principles of the Quakers has been
to wage war against capital punishment,
and the Governor has been heard to de-
nounce it, and declare that he was op-
posed to the death penalty.

SMALLPOX AT FARNHURsT

Smallpox Monday developed in the
Delaware State Hospitala at Farnhurst, and
there are in the institution four inmates
suffering with the disease. Whether the

been determined. As soon as it became
known that smallpox had broken out in
the institution DR.. John j. Black, presi-
dent of the Board of Trustees; and DR..
Alexander Lowber, secretary of the State
Board of Health, visited the hospital. I'm
