Washington at Jamestown

The joint committee representing the
Board of Trade, the Business Mems Asso-
citation and the Jobbers and Shippers AS
ISOLATION discussed yesterday the PROPOSE
ton that the District of Columbia be rep
resented by an exhibit at Jamestown 1t
was said that Commissioner MacfarI and
had expressed the opinion that with the
Endorsement OF the three commercial bodies
represented on the joint committee there
was no doubt in his mind that Congress
would make an appropriation to provide for
the municipal feature of the jamestown
exhibit
There would be historic fitness in the
adequate representation of the District of
Columbia at jamestown. 1t is be-
heFed that some of the American
pioneers who reached Jamestown in
the spring OF 1907 sailed I'D the
Potomac river and that they saw the noble
tree grown hills and the wooded lowlands
that one hundred and eighty three years
afterward became the territory of Column
bia. Nh. Ainsworth r. Spofford in an artf-
Gle on The Coming of the White Man and
the Founding of the National Capital"
said: The hardy and resolute Capt. John
Smith, tired of the idle company that sur
rounded him, set out on an expedition of
discovery. and visited Powhattan, the en-
peror of the Virginia tribes, at Werowoco-
moco. Later he sailed up the Potomac
river and, it is supposed rather than prov
en-, saw the site of the present District of
Columbia" Other writer's make the bald
statement that the region now occupied by
the District of Columbia was partially ex
plored by Capt. John Smith in 1908 and

Fall w Gather.

We used to gaily carol
In the fall,
And don heavier apparel,
One and ali.
For the air was crisp and snappy,
And We felt alert and happy,
Just vivacious. but not scrappy,
In the fall.
Now we all keep getting bluer
In the fall,
As we try to think of newer
Names to CAL
The thermometer, base plotter.
Still announcing that it's hotter,
Till our brains begin to totter
In the fall.

NERVOUS DEBILITY

Williams Pink Pills Made Her
Welt and Stronq.

Nervous debility is the common name
for what the doctors term neurasthenia.
1t is characterized by mental depression,
Ats of the 'blues, or melancholy, loss
of energy and spirits. The PATIENTS eyes
become dull, the pink fades from the
checks, the memory becomes defective so
taat it is difficult to recall dates and
names at will. Some of these symptoms
only may be present or all of them. The
remedy lies in toning up the nervous
system and there is no medicine better
adapted for this purpose than DR..
Williams Pink Pills.
Mrs. Jane j. Davies, of No. 314 War
ran street, Scranton, Pa, says: "Sonie
years ago l became greatly reduced in
health and strength and my nervous
system became SO debilitated that / felt
wretched. could not rest or sleep well
at night and woke mp as weary aud
lailguid in the morning as i was when /
went to bed. Ny head ached in, the
morning and often there was n pain in
my right side which was worse when |
sat down. My nerves We're on edge all
the time, every little noise bothered me
and | was generally miserable. Then l
decided to try DR., Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People, as my husband had taken
them with good results, aud they did
wonders for me. Now / have no more
pain IN my side, no more headaches, |
sleep we'll and feel strong and able to
