been in company with V. Clarence
Price for ten years and having had
the experience of DR.. Russell White
of Buffalo over thirty years, I do
not think I am boasting when I
say | am the most experienced ply
stefan treating chronic diseases in
the country. Further the formulate
by which my remedi S are manu-
featured were put together by that
chief of pharmacists Prof. King of
Cincinnati while he was editing the
American Dispensatory. These COM
pounds have all been improved by
DR.. White, DR.. Price, and DR..
Brewer. AS fast as new remedies
have been proven to be of use in
chronic diseases they have been
added to these formulate by DR.. F.
B. Brewer until they sre as near
perfect as science and experience
can make them. With this &C
cumulated experience of over fifty
years I am prepared to cure all
durable diseases.
DR.. Brewer will make his next
visit to the Northwestern hotel in
this city, on Monday, Aug. %.

as compared with s2,A5l,9l4,s42 In 1904,

Both imports and exports made new
high records, The imports exceeded by
| 500, 000, 900 the total recorded In 1908, and
exports have for the first time since sur
passed the figures of 1901. Imports first
passed the billion dollar mark in 1908,
with a total Of s1o25,719,2s7, In 1904
they again fell below sl000,0oO, 600 in
value, being 1901, os7a7l. For tho year
Just ended the Imports amounted to
sl,1lI507 500,
There is nothing discouraging In the
fact that imports rs we'll as exports
Increased. Trade is necessarily rcclpro-
| cal, II we sell to foreigners, We must
buy from them. A fair exchange Is no
robbery, and a fair exchange Is necessa ry
| to prosperous trading between nations,
! The growth OF our foreign trade Is SIM
ply phenomenal, and the more so, In View
of our restrictive tariff. IT was not until
the year 1899 that our exports arose to
the billion dollar mark. From that time
| on, however, there has been STEADY
increase until the last fiscal year, when
the exports amounted to more than BILL

A Charge Made and Answered.

The Petersburg IndeS-Appea is now
q very strenuous supporter of Senator
Martin. In 1893 1t was very bitter against
him. We cannot object to Il newspaper
changing its mind as between men, but
when 1t once opposed a man because it
thought him the tool of corporations and
the recipient of corporation favors 1t
has no right to swallow its views. re-
nounce its previous code of morals and
preach new doctrines, unless 1t first goes
out and kicks itself before it changes
It's reasoning. If what it says was wrong
then, 1t Is wrong now, unless the Index
Appeal hns new moral guide.
Has some of the campaign fund Of
Appeal, that 1t Is singing a new song?
Has it at last found out WHO is Mr..
Tom Martin, of Albemarlc anyhow?"-
Staunton Spectator, July 2l
With tho exception that the Index
Appeal Is now a. supporter Of Senator
Martin, every statement In the fore
going is absolutely and unqualinedly
false, and the lnsinuatlon that the In
dcx-Appeal Is has been. or can be in
nucnced In Its editorial conduct by the
use of money Is mean. malicious and
contcmptblc, and it Is now encumbcnt
upon its author to retrnct It, or to sub
stantlate Its TRUTH or to confess him
self common MISUNDERSTANDING In
dnx-Appcal.
The Index-Appeal has an established
reputation for Independence and honesty,
and ii will require more than innunndo
to convince those who know It's editor
that he is capable of selling his influence
| for n price.

THAT is tho story. Undoubtedly Emmett
was out twenty, but he had thereby
struck q blow that ought to go ringing
round the world. He struck for new
standard Of tipping ethics. BY that single
act he gave notice to every cmploye in the
world whose solo ambition Is merely to
i have his palm crossed as copiously and
as often rs possible, that the size Of the
tip must not be dlsproportionnte to the
valuc Of the services rendered. lie made
1t ns plain as print could have made it.,
that there could be honesty even among
tip receivers; and that personally he,
though only an humble bell boy, would
not stand for grating In the trade.
Thus Emmett lost his twenty, but he
won fame; and there are few of us who
wouldn't bc famous If I'VE could do It at
Emmett's rates.
