The United Drug
Company, manufac-
turers of the RexaH
Remedies, for whose )
preparations we are
agents in this city,
make 200 remedies,
one for each i'll. Each
one is especially pre-
pared to cure one dis
ease, and that only.
This is an age of spe-
cialists. You don't
contract with a plumb
er to build your whole
house, do your Why
should you contract
with one proprietary
medicine to cure all
your troubles.
Oftentimes you run
across a building con-
tractor who has a sepa-
rate plumbing depart
ment, his own plastering
department, and SO on,
all of which dovetail to-
gether and build the
house. This is just what
The United Drug Com
pany is doing for you in
the medicine line. They
have cut down profits;
they manufacture Rex
all remedies for over
1000 retail druggists.
These druggists are the
only intermediate profit
that stand between The
United Drug Company
and the patient.
Could The u tied
Drug c ompany, of
which we are a member,
afford to make one poor
medicine in this line ?
Does not common sense
tell you that one poor
medicine would ruin the
sale of the other 1c9
preparations? If you
bought a Rexall prepare
ton and it didn't do for
you what we claim it will,
would you buy another
one of cur articlesi We
believe not. Therefore
each preparation must
be good--it is good. We
who are in the drug bus
mess know the formulas
of these Rexall prepare
tons. We believe in
them so implicitly that
we stand back of them,
with our guarantee tore
fund you your money if
they do not benefit you.

whom there is a fine bronze statue in
the grounds. During the occupation of
Mexico General Scott exacted sum OF

was paid to him, and be asked Con-

pr0vements at the Home are contem-
plated, which call for the expenditure
Of over one million dollars. The Home
has on deposit in the Treasury Of the
United States fund Of more than two
million dollars. 1t should be borne in
mind that the Government Of the
United States does not contribute one
dollar to the support Of this great in
tuition.
No women are employed at the
Home excepting those in the corps Of
trained nurses in the Home hospital.
Much of the work at the home, farm
work, dairying, gardening: road main
tenance, homework, cooking, waiting
on table, etc, is done by the inmates,
who are paid for their services out Of
the Home fund.
There are about 1900 veterans in the
institution. Many Of them are civil
war soldiers, some were disabled in
the West Indies, others in the Philip
pines, some in the Indian campaigns,
and some were discharged from the
service for disability incurred in camp
and garrison. Many Of the Home

was recently established In New York
q "beggar trust" through the efforts Of
a one-iegged youth who had left a
comfortable home to engage deliber-
ately in begging. His remarkable In
sight into business methods would
probably have reaped him q greater
reward than was derived through beg
gary. Organizing q community Of in

LOOKING TO MARrISsnuRe

The peoole Of Jefferson county have
been stirred most thoroughly over the
proposition of the Metropolitan Turf
Exchange locating club house at
Harpers Ferry. This club is composed OF
a tough set of thugs and gamblers who
used to operate on the Virginia side of
the Potomac river opposite Washing
ton and conducted themselves SO badly
out. They are now looking for lCca-
tion where they will have i'm munity
from the law and selected Harpers
Ferry as the spot. The council of the
town not being awarded of the charact
er of the concern granted them licen Sc
and recommended them to the county
court Of Jefferson county 1t was then
the truth leaked out Rev. Father Col
Inns, pastor of the Catholic church, in
vostigated and instituted vigorous
war on the gang. Bishop Gravatt, of
the Episcopal church also joined In
and pretty soon the spirit of opposition
grew to such an extent that indigna-
ton meetings were held at Harpers
Ferry, Shepherdstown and Charles
Town demanding that the County
Court refuse license.
The gamblers seeing that they had
no chances to light at Harpers Ferry,
it is said, have turned their eyes upon
Martinsburg. There is no probability
that they will get to land here, The
city council will lose no time in turn
ing down any such proposition.

Confederate Dsao.

The Senate has passed the bill which
Senator Foraker has advocated for
many years providing for the mark
ing of the graves of Confederate sailors
and soldiers who died in northern
prisons and were buried near the pris-
ons where they died. The bill was
amended SO that the commissioner APP
pointed TO superintend the work shall
be paid s., 800 a year and shall COM
plete his work within two years The
sum of 100000 is apr opriated in the
bill TO provide for the marking of
these graves, which number about
10000. The graves are in many eases in
state of utter neglect, the Enclosures
being in dilapidated condition, while
the wooden headboards which were
placed al some of the graves have long
since rotted away.
There were during the war several
prisons in Maryland where Confeder-
ate prisoners died. AT Annapolis five
died of whom three are known AT Bal
timore l19 died, of whom II are known
and AZ unknown. At Cumberland 3
died of whom one was known and
lour unknown. At Fort McHenry 80
died of whom 80 were unknown. At
Pt. Lookout the mortality was greater
No less than 3,446 died, all except S52
being known.
A few years ago Congress appropriat-
ed the money necessary to remove and
renter in Arlington cemetery all the
Confederate dead until then buried in
various National cemeteries around
Washington.
The action taken by the Senate will
probably be promptly ratified by the
House and within two years it may be
completed.
