A quarrel is going on between
Battle Greek Post of Grape Nut food
fame and Golfers Magazine. Golfers
: hit Post pretty hard lick about
some misleading reading matter con
nec:ed with the use of Grape Nut in
Appendicitis and the Grape Nut man
comes back at him through several
high class periodicals calling Golfers
the boo Hoo Baby. Golfers does
hit too hard sometimes but it has
done vast deal of good in exposing
extravaganza claims amongst the Pat
ent Medicines: much modification has
grown out of the crusade along this
line and Golfers having been in the
thick of the fight and got some blows
that hurt itself, is entitled to share
in the victories won. There's room for
the Punishment of more offences a.
mongst the handy package medicine

aoitators speak farther than they
know and thus come 10 persecute, the
proprietary folks will quickly seize
the chance TO make them pay for it,
so as the fight proceeds there will be
scars made on each side. What the
plebes can rejoice over is that they
will get better future treatment by.

This is as it should be. One good
paper is enough for even so thriv-

is hardly town in the state that has
grown as fast and expanded more
marvelously industrially than has
this town perched up there at the
junction of two trunk line railways.
The Wilson Brothers have but to
bestir themselves now and keep

paper exigency of that situation.
They have already a good sheet in all

strengthen their excellent paper
muchly. We wish them abundant
success.

phosphate rock from Port Tampa, Fla,
consigned to the Alexandria Chemical
Company. has arrived at Alexandria and
Is berthed at SmOot's wharf at the foot
of Princess street to unload. The VIII
helmina Is the first steamer to come up
the Potomac with cargo in about five
years. The British tramp steamer Fern
dean was the last to bring large cargo
OF asphalt from the Island of Trinidad to
Georgetown. The steamer lying at the
Alexandria wharf Is one of the largest
that has ever come up the river. and ly
ing in the dock at the Alexandria wharf
she fills it almost from end to end.
1t will require a week or ten days to
unload the steamship and when light il is
stated she will go to Baltimore to load
coal for an American port. The Wilhel-
nina is one of the few foreign built SHIPS
under American registry. The records
show that she was built at West Hart
leford, England. in 1SSS, and was named
the New NOrOugh. Later she passed into
American hands and was first called the
Pensacola and later the Wilhelmina. She
is a vessel of 1896 gross tons burden and
is 2GO feet long on her keel.
