Itchiness ONES in many forms.
Eczema and horrid itching piles.
Relief and cure are here at last.

The Ambulance Corps.
It has again been demonstrated that one
of the most important. necessary and in
, teresting adjuncts to the National Guard
of the District of Columbia is the Ambu
lance Corps. Since it's organization the
brigade OF course, has had an ambulance
corps, but never was that branch of the
guard so efficient and thoroughly
equipped as at the present time. The Am
bulance Corps Is commanded by First Lieu
tenant W. D. Fales. 1t now consists OF
nearly forty men. all of whom are either
graduates or advanced students in medi-
cine and pharmacy. The corps is also per
fectly trained in the prescribed drill of the
medical department, and the members
know all that there is to be known with
regard to maneuvering with filters and the
proper handling of the sick and wounded

corps is supplied with an ambulance equip

The post hospital steward may be spoken
of as the executive officer of the hospital
He is DR.. Frank p. Weller. and he prepares
all medicines and looks after the nursing
of patients and has always performed
those duties in an eminently artistic and
skillful manner. DIR. Weller is considered
the ideal man for the place.

SECRET OF CHEAP WINES.
Fictitious Beverages Not Extensive in

From the London Daily News.
/ Ingenuity, not to say deception. has, ac-
cording to a medical Journal. entered into
the manufacture of cheap wines. and many
consumers will probably learn with sur
prise that some brands Of champagne have
home made limitations. A member of one
of the largest firms OF wine merchants
doing an extensive business in London and
the country confessed to an interviewer
that the impeachment was based on fact,
though, he added. solemnly. Heaven for
bid that we should be among those who
thus deceive the public
The basis OF these cheap wines was be-
lieved to be grapes concentrated by evap-
Grafton. This fruit was fermented in Eng
land, and the different brands were pre-
pared by blending, on scientific principles.
the juice of black cherries. crushed raisins.
pulverized cinnamon and crude tartar In
the case Of home made champagne. cognac.
with the addition of few drops of sui
phuric ether and extract of celery roots,
was an Indispensable ingredient.
And despite this formidable list Of in
gradients the wines are palatable. though
to the extent to which the human stOm-
ach is benefited or deranged by their con-
sumption I have an opinion which prefer
not to express
Has the excise ever interviewed in this
phase of English manufacturer"
"A few years ago the attention Of the
chancellor Of the exchequer was. I believe.
called to 1t, but as certain brands bear the
names Of foreign-made wines there seems
to be a difficulty in bringing them within
the scope of the excise laws 1t is there
fore exemption from duty that mainly en-
ables the manufacturers to undersell the
retailers OF genuine imported cheap wines
This view is supported by a wine mer-
chants evidence before the departmental
committee on food preseryatives. Home
made" claret is, for instance. offered to
the public at about Sd. per bottle, as
against Is. for the cheapest imported arti-
Gle. The reason for the cheapness of the
latter is explained by the fact that in the
wine producing countries the juice Of the
grape Is so plentiful and so cheap that
there is no reason for adultera ton. In
continental countries a still cheaper wine
Is made from raisins. but this production is
so low in alcohonc strength that ii can, as
witness pointed out, never be shipped,
for 1t would not stand the journey.
1t is reaSsuring to learn. however. that
the manufacture in this country of ficti-
uous wines is not extensive.
