statesman holding political office,

Office hereafter. This is one of the

Paine'S Celery

GIVES VIG0R AND
STRENGTH TO DEBILITATED AND
RUN DOWN WOMEN.

1t is maintained by many distinguished
writers that the greatness of nation depends
much upon the physical condition of lie
women. The general conditions which con-
tribute TO health and long life, are those which
do not imply rapid and unequal exhaustion
OF those powers by which life is maintained
While we assert that the women of our land
stand peerless for beauty and the virtues that
make them iovable, we cannot hide the fact
that there are thousands in our midst who.
owing 10 overwork, worry, household cares.
and an unequal exhaustion of life power. have

it on his farm in a neat cottage and
the male members are to work on
the farm.

COMPLAIN TO LEGISLATURES,

Messrs. William X. Currell and A,
5. Hardy, of Lancaster county, were
in Richmond last week endeayorine
to get the Legislature to pass laws tc
compel the owners of the fish fac
tories on Dymer's Greek to provide
means to prevent the waste from
their factories escaping into the
waters of the creek.
1t is claimed that the refuse from
the fish factories 80 polutes the
waters of the creek that the oyster
beds are destroyed, and fish and even
crabs are killed.
Besides destroying thousands of
dollars of valuable oyster beds, it is
claimed that this pollution of the
streams makes the surrounding coun-
try extremely unhealthy.
1t is not the aim of these gentle.
men to stop the operation of the fac.
tories, as they are very valuable in
dustries, but merely to exact meas
ures to prevent the total destruction
OF the oyster beds that have been a
valuable source of revenue to the
people of that section. Potomac
