The readers Of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages. and that is
Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the
only positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires con-
stitutional treatment Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces o!
the system. thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease. and giving the
patient strength by building up the con
stitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have SO much
faith in its curative powers that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for list Of
testimonials.

AN APPEAL.
Funds Needed For the Associated CHAR
ties Of Annapolis.

The funds of this organization are
entirely exhausted Through this notice
we ask for donations of money for the
society's work. All such donations,
whether large or small. may be left with
the Treasurer, Mr.. Samuel Jones, at
clones & Franklin's" on Main street.
At a meeting of the District Visitors,
held two weeks ago, it was decided, in
the future, to give help only to the sick
and aged, together with such cases as
NAV be recommended by the patrons OF
the churches in the city. The Associat-
ed Charities is a non sectarian organlza-
ton. and the city is divided into districts
each of which is in charge OF a District
Visitor who is responsible for all cases
falling in her District. There are. about
twenty District Visitors. Organized as
above stated it becomes a most valuable
and efficient means of rendering aid in
any great and general distress. and for
this reason alone it deserves the sup
port of our citizens, and it is to be hoped
that the public viii respond to this call.

THE REAL TEST

There Is only one test by which to

and that is by its ability TO do that
which it is intended TO do. Many hair
vigors may look nice and smell nice.
but the point is-do they eradicate Dam
druff and stop falling hair?
No. they do not, but Herpicide does.
because it goes 70 the root OF the evll
and kills the germ that attacks the
MANILA from whence the hair gets its

| the war has had a comparatively
| slight effect upon general Japanese
business. The factories are busy. stocks
| have regained ante bellum prices and
business men and laborers are applying
| themselves to their tasks without eX-
element and with regular assiduity.
However long the war may last, he
predicts the commerce and industries
The above statement is especially
interesting in view of the fact that
Japan's commerce with the United
States in the present fiscal year shows
a marked advance over that of any
preceding year. and that for the twelve
| months ending June 80. 1904, will
probably exceed 70 million dollars. Fig
ures covering eleven months of the
present fiscal year have just been is
sued by the department of commerce
and labor thru it's bureau of statistics.
They show that our exports to Japan
amounted to $22,594,T13 during the
eleven months of this year, as against
$19, $50, SAB in the corresponding months
of the preceding fiscal year; also that
our imports from Japan touched their
highest point for an eleven months
period. being s44,367,461, as against
SAL. S33.351 in the eleven months of 1908.
the previous high water mark.
Exports to Japan from the United
States reached their highest point in
the fiscal year 1900. when the total was
S29, 0ST, 475, due in large measure to
the extraordinary purchases of cotton
by Japan in that year. In the follow
ing year, however, there was drop
of fully 10 million in the volume of our
exports to Japan, though an up
ward tendency is again apparent, and
for the eleven months ending May 81,
