In sad and loving remembrance O
our dear mother, Clara B. Williams
who departed this life at her home al
Rising Sun, Delaware, at the early
dawn Of day on the 25th of December
1907. After an illness Of a few hours
from paralysis, age SO years.
In the beautiful Cemetery Barratts Chapel,
Where the cedar branches wave,
Lies our dearest mother
In the cold and silent grave.
Lonely the day, and sad the hours
Since thy dear face has gone.
But oh brighter home than ours,
In Heavenis now thy own.
We miss thy kind and willing hand,
Thy fond and earnest care;
Our life Is dark without you,
We miss you everywhere.
Farewell dear mother, thou art at rest,
And shall forever be;
You could not stay On earth with us,
But we can come to thee.
We we're parted In life, but partings will cease
Wen meet by the river IN Mansions OF Peace.
With sadness and weeping we whispered good by,
But tsoon will dawn the morning Offadeless joy.

Win Apply Food Laws to State.

The State Board Of Pharmacy at q
meeting in the Clayton House at Will
mington last Friday decided to apply
the national pure food laws to Della
ware so far as they effect this State.
The national pure food laws and the
State pure food laws are identical, but
it is thought by the board that the
national laws may be more cempre
hensive and will make their fight
against viOlaters so much the more
effective. Examinations were held for
assistant pharmacists and candidates
examined. The next meeting of the
board will be held in Wilmington
April 7th. Those present at the meet
ing were President, DR.. Willard E.

eye open for fakirs and swindlers, they

the ability Of these dead beat fakirs to
catch not only the ignorant but all
Others who are not constantly on their
guard. This swindler walked into
jewelry store and selecting a Sl25 watch
left check for 5000 drawn on an out
of-town bank, with instructions that
the watch be regulated and that he
would come after it and his change a
week later. On returning he was in
formed that his check was no good.
"Well, that's strange" he said, "It's
the second time the bank has done
that thing on me. But here's the
money for your watch, +" and he counted
out $l25 in currency and started for
door. "Oh. yes," he said, turning
round, "you'd better give me that
check" 1t was willingly handed over
10 him. On the back was the jewelers.
