BLUE LIGHT ANAESTHETIC.
Discovery of Two Swiss Professors
Likely to Revolutionize the
Practice of Dentistry.

After three years of patient research
two professors of Geneva, Switzerland
have discovered new anesthetic which
promises to revolutionize the practice OF
dentistry.
In reporting this to the state depart
ment Consul Liefield, at Freiburg, Ger
many, states that finding that the nerv-
Gus system was influenced by colored
light the professors soon perceived.
after experimenting with each hue, that
blue had an extraordinarily soothing eff
feet on the nerves.
The consul says that tooth may be
painlessly extracted, with none of the
after effects on the system by shutting
up the patient in dark room and ex--
posing his eyes to a blue light of Is candle
power for three minutes.
This causes him to lose all sense of
pain, although at the same time retaining
his senses.

Best Cough Medicine for Children.

When you buy cough medicine for
small children you want one in which
you can place implicit confidence. You
want one that not only relieves but
cures. You want one that is unques-
tionably harmless. You want one that
is pleasant to take. Chamberlain g
Cough Remedy meets all of these con-
ditions. There is nothing so good for
the coughs and colds incident to child
hood. 1t is also certain preventive
and cure for Group, and there is no
danger whatever from whOoping
coug when it is given. 1t has been
used in many epidemics of that disease
with perfect success. For sale by all
medicine dealers.

A meeting was held in Annapolis
Tuesday by the committee of Mary
land and Virginia, appointed TO draft a
law for the better protection OF oys-
tiers, and a subcommittee was ap-
pointed to draw bill which will
contain provisions for joint Gull
law, providing for the stricter en-
forcement of it; shortening the season
by prohi biting the catching OF oy1'
ters during September and permit
ting the taking of seed oysters above
a line drawn from the northeast
bluff on Cobb's Point, on the Mary
land side, to Colonial Beach, on the
Virginia side of the Potomac River
Their action, of course, is only 9
recommendation and amounts tc
nothing without the approval OF the
Legislatures of the two States. The
opinion, however, seems to prevail
that it will get the endorsement o
both.

OF Interest to Taxpayers and Voters

Since the new Constitution has
made some changes in the Tax-Law
we deem it our duty to inform the
Taxpayers and voters what 1t now
reouires of them. We find the i'm
preston prevailing among many
tax payers that If they don't vote
they need not pay the capitation-tsx
of $3.50. This is not true. While
the Constitution does say, that the
treasurer or any other officer shall
not force the collection of the capita
tion-tax until it is years past DUE IL
does provide, that 1t shall be return
ed delinquent and at the expiration
of the years, then that the Attorney
General appoints a collector anu
places all the accounts for the delin'
ouents into the hands Of this collec-
tor with interest and expense OF col
Letting, with the power to collect
said accounts out of any property
that is not otherwise exempted, that
the delinquent may have. 30 you
see it will be much cheaper for the
tax payer to pay $3.50 or 81 IS Ut the
per cent. be added) when due, then
to wait years and pay from 70 TO
$500.
In reference to the time that the
capitatlon tax shall be paid in order
to be able to vote. The National
Election comes off the first OF NO
yember. The Constitution provides
that no voter will be allowed to vote
who has not paid his capitation tai
at least six months before an cleo
ton, so you see that in order to vote
| in the November election, the CAPT
!, tation tax must be paid by May LIST
, In reference to delinquents unde
the old system: We made our de
, linquent list in November, giving tn
I tax payer the advantage OF the fal
to pay their last years taxes-but nov
, we have to make the list in june

Dear Sir:
beg to acknowledge receipt
through Mr.. T. W. Turner OF check
for $51S. 80 in settlement of policy No.
34s, S55, issued on my life on January
26, 1899. The policy was for $l,OoO
on the Fifteen Payment Life plan.
The annual premium being only
s93. so, the entire cost OF the policy to
me was less than the amount OF cash
which you now pay in settlement Oh
same. Considering the fact that q
risk of 81, 900 on my life has been car
ried for the past fifteen years, wish
to state that l regard this settlement
as eminently satisfactory.
l also wish to acknowledge receipt
of policy No. 1926 ,53S recently issued
to me for $4,000 on the Twenty Pay
ment Life, twenty year distribution
plan. As protection to the family
and a provision for old age, l have
seen no policy that surpasses this.
With best wishes for the continued
success of the company, remain,
Very respectfully,
G. L. Corbitt.

The selection OF books by the State
Board of Education on the multiple
plan seems to have given general sat-
isfaction. The number of books by
Southern authors is particularly note
worthy, and the histories selected are
nearly all written by the historians
of the Southland. The superin endents
and trustees of the various counties
and towns will now select their books
from the multiple list, and these lists
will be passed upon by the education
hoard at its next meeting.

The result of the primaries in New
York, Wednesday, makes it certain,
il is thought, that Judge Alton b.
Parker will receive the solid vote Of
that State in the St. Louis Conven-
ton to nominate a candidate for the
Presidency, and meaDs,it is believed,
the beginning of the end OF the
Hearst boom throughout the coun-
try. The South, it is conceded, by
representative Democrats Of Virginia
and other States will approve the
action of New York Democrats ard
the leaders of the party generally
throughout the country are expected
soon to be In line for him. The con.
clusion In fact seems to have been
reached by them, that the nomina-
ton OF Judge Parker means a Demo
crat in the White House to succeed
Mr.. Roosevelt, and that the nomina-
ton of anybody else means Mr..
Roosevelt for another four years.
