TOBACCO TOGO UP SOON.

Something Of furore has been created
in the local tobacco market by ne
siee sent out by the Maryland Tobacco
Growers Association, stating that on and
after May 1 the prices of the French
grades of Maryland-grown tobacco will
be raised from one to four cents pound.
according to the classes.
The notice, which is in the shape OF
circular letter, contains the Information
that the decision to demand higher prices
for the Maryland product was reached at
a meeting of the Maryland Tobacco
Growers Association and the Maryland
Tobacco Co mmission Merchants Union,
held few days ago in Baltimore City
The minimum prices t. be asked for the
French grades of tobacco, according to
the noiice, ale as follows:
Glass A-Eleven cents p' und
Glass Blight cents pound.
Glass C-Six cents pound.
In addition to fixing the prices, the As
sociation advised the growers to hold
their crops IF the market and to strip,
handle and pack their tobacco with the
great. st Gale in order that it may event
ually come into the market in the best
| oss :ble condition.
The meeting at which the action was
taken was held at the Hotel Rennert,
Baltimore, on Wednesday of last week.
a md the tobacco situation was thoroughly
discussed. Necessity for concerted &C
ton on the part of the growers was made
spparent by the depressed condition OF
tie tobacco market during the past two
or three years. The prices for the Mary
land product have been gradually going
lower each year, until the growers found
it no longer profitable to grow tobacco.
The meeting was presided ever by Mr.
Adrian Posey of Charles county, and
among the prominent growers present
were DR.. Philip Briscoe Of Calvert coun-
ty, Mr.. George w. Adams of St. Mary's
county, Mr.. F. W. Hill Of this county and
Mr.. T. A. Walker of Carroll county
The Commission Merchants Union was
represented by Messrs. W. b. Moore, }
s. Rawlings, C. A. Shaw, Thomas f.
Watkins, j. A. Turner and b. G. Dudley
1t was stated by tobacco merchant
this morning that the French Govern
ment would be affected mere than any
other buyer of the Maryland product, az
that Cove rnment annually buys up more
than half of the entire crop raised in the
State The French, it was stated, like
the Maryland tobacco better than any
other grade of tobacco. and for years
they have been consuming on an average
of from 10000 to $4,000 hogsheads of
Maryland tobacco every year.
The contract is usually awarded to an
agent in this city for = stipulated price,
and it is to his advantage to buy at hg
ure as far below that price rs the market
will allow. Until few years ago the
contract was awarded to several persons,
each receiving portion of the contract
to fill. The competition was beneficial to
the market, and then Maryland tobacco
brought better prices.

The self-investigating committee OF
the New York Life Insurance Com
pany in a supplemental report holds
that the contributions made by former
President Mccall to the republican
national committee in the last three
campaigns, amounting to $l4S,7O2 so,
were not legally justified, and proposes
to bring suit to recover the money.
This will bring McCall's liabilities up
to $425 900. The committee says
that it believes Mccall was actuated
by a desire to benefit and protect The
policy holders, alth ,ugh his act was
illegal.

Regarding the typhoid fever in the
County, wish to state that most every
case was in the upper section Of the Coun-
ty bordering on or near the District of
Columbia. Thirteen of the above cases
reported occurred in the town of River
dale, in a MUD form, and almost as an ep
idemic and caused considerable alarm
among the citizens But after making :
very careful observation Of the surround
ings, and having several meteorological
examinations of the water and milk sup.
plies, with negative results, l was com
PEELED to believe that the disease original
ed from some of the patients. infected
with the disease, who came from Washing
ton to Rlverdale and during he course Of
treatment improper d'sinfe lection stools
ETC., caused the disease to spread as it did.
Since this time greater care as TO drain
age, sewerage and the doing away with
cesspools has taken pI- c. in Riverdale
and the peace and health uf lac town have
been restored.
I find fire quently that a great many
cases of typhoid fever aud her diseases
of mild Contagious nature occur, and
many of the physicians fail to report
same. This, however, is being somewhat
overcome, and | feel sure that in . very
short time l will be able to report each
and every Case occurring in our county.
1t has been gr realty improved this year,
esps callv regarding the Vital 8 stislics,
and the more contagious di eases like
diphthtra, scarlet fever etc and owing
To rigid quarantine shows decrease in
the spread Of these diseases.
We have hal no smallpox in our coun
ty 10 1908. Some few patients were quar-
antined un account of having been expos
ed TO the disc ase. tut no cases developed.
Regarding the Sanitary conditions Of
the c. untv, it is at prest Mt becoming a
question of great Importance to the
Health Board. Owing to many new
towns not as yet incorporated, drainage
has become sufjet requiring great at
tention. and feel sure TIA at present
and in the near flu ure. l will be compell-

Odds and Ends
Roman Fianciers

The wealth of many of the ancient
Romans was reckoned far into the
millions. Mark Antony during his
somewhat checkered career squand
cred no less than seven hundred and
thirty-five million dollars, and Tiber
ius left at his death over eighteen
millions, which Caligula spent in less
than a year. Records show that this
spendthrift paid one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars for one supper.
Horace tells us that Pegellus, a
singer, could in five days spend forty
thousand dollars, and Clodius on a
small wager swallowed a pearl worth
nearly forty thousand dollars The es-
tate Of Crassus was valued at eight
million four hundred thousand dollars.
LucIllus dined at the rate of eight
thousand dollars meal for several
weeks. Lentulus was worth not less
than sixteen millions, and Apicus
squandered nearly five millions of dol
lars In few weeks.

According to one authority, if from
a single couple for five thousand years
each husband and wife had married at
the age of twenty-one, and there had
been no deaths, the population of the
earth would be 2,199,915, followed by

"After man has lived in the world

out to my entire satisfaction is the
proper thing for ailments that
are due directly to the effects of
the climate. For III years 1 have
Wifhsf0Od the changeabIe climate
of the United States.
II have always been very healthy
man, but, of course, subject to the af-
fections which are due to sudden
changes in the climate and tempera-
ture. During my long life have known
a great many remedies for coughs, colds
and diarrhoea.
GAS for DR.. Hartman's remedy,
Peruna, 1 have found it to be the
best, If not the only, reliable REM
edy for these affections. 1t has
been my standby for many years,
and 1 attribute my good health
and extreme old age to this remedy.
"It exactly meets all my require
ments. It protects me from the evil eff
fects of sudden changes; it keeps me in
good appetite; it gives me strength; it
keeps my blood in good circulation. I
have come to rely upon it almost en-
tirely for the many little things for
which need medicine.

In later letter, Mr.. Brock writes:

When old age comes. It brings with
it catarrhal diseases. systemic catarrh
is almost universal in old people. This
explains why. Peruna has become so
indispensable to many old people.
