Gone Forever f!

Ten years ago an Allen county, Kan,
farmer put his initials on silver dol
lar The next day he went to the near
est town and spent it with merchant.
Before the year was out he got the dol
lar back Four times in six years the
dollar came back to him for produce,
and three times he heard of it in the
pockets of his neighbors. The last time
he got it back was four years ago. He
then sent it to mail-order house. He
has never seen that dollar since, and
never will. That dollar will never pay
any more school or road tax for him,
will never build or brighten any of the
homes of the community. He sent ii
entirely out of the usefulness to him.
self and to his neighbors when he sent
it to the mail-order house.
The moral is plain Trade at your
home store, where your dollar buys
more and better goods anyway, and
where you may get it back again.
Out of total of 307, ,157 workers in
clothing factories in Great Britain,
1877, ,320 are women, the female tailors
numbering 1902 to 1884 men.

Pharmacy Law Makes Doctors
Sarcastic.

the Harrisonburg Daily Times prints
the following sarcastic comment on
the new State pharmacy laws;
The doctors of the county seem to be
greatly agitated over new law enact
ed in Richmond last winter prohibit
ing the sale of drugs by physicians. 1t
appears that the whole trouble is due
t. the fact that the physician, suppos-
ing himself to be gentleman OF some
knowledge and dignity, fails to realize
his true position in relation to the state
board of pharmacy. When he comes
to understand that he exists solely for
the pecuniary benefit of the druggist,
who not only fills them in most
worthy manner, but at the same time
kindly prescribes gratis for any other
ailment the patient may have, then
the trouble will end and chickering's
cease.
Besides, the doctors seem to have
overlooked the fact that the state board
Of pharmacy has been vested with the
power of granting any regularly licens-
ed physician the privilege of dispens-
lug drugs, charging therefore, provid-
ing he shall make application in a pre-
scribed manner and accompany the
same with specific fee.
1t is suggested that in most instances
the following would be a suitable form
of application.
To that August Body, the State Board
of Pharmacy:
am country doctor located in the
village of Hard Luck, where | have
practiced medicine for forty years.
Strange as it may appear, there are a
few deluded people here who have
enough faith in me to take the medi-
cine | give them. l graduated from
the Dry Bones Medical College and
was given license by that mediocre
aggregation of doctors known as the
State medical examining board. Of
course, know I can never hope to ac-
quire that unlimited knowledge Of
drugs and their uses which is possessed
by you only. In fact, | am forced to
admit that in all things pertaining to
the noble art you are as a class very
wise and superior beings, and that you
occupy place in the world of suffer
ing humanity that l can never hope to
attain. Yet in the course of my hum
BILE career 1 occasionally desire to dis
pense a few drugs of the harmless sort,
and, while 1 am deeply sensible of the
need of your guiding hand, you must
realize that there are times when this
is impossible. On such occasions l
humbly beseech you to allow me to
make use of the small talent l possess
and if 1 think it prudent to do SO, give
my patients castor oil, ''salts,o etc.
Will you also kindly allow me to make
a small charge for such services when
rendered in ''good faith"
I will, of course, report to you when
ever commanded to do SO, and will con-
slider myself especially favored if per-
mitted to come to you for advice when
I find my way beset with difficulties.
Trusting that you will use your
influence to help me in my
humble position, L am your humble
and obedient servant,

CANNON AS AN ISSUE.
HIS DEFEAT URGED AS A SERVICE TO
THE WHOLE NATION.
kansas City Times.

(Kansas City Times.)
The country will watch with lively
interest the campaign in Speaker Can
mons district in Illinois. Cannon re-
ceived plurality of 10000 over his op-
ponent in 1906, but that was before the
issue of Cannonism was made acute
by the high-handed methods of the
Speaker. 1t was before Cannon operly,
contemptuously, and effectively block
ed the policies Of the people, as repre-
sented by President Roosevelt, in favor
of the policies of the "Interests."
The Democrats have nominated a
good man to oppose Cannon this year,
and right thinking Republicans, as
well as Socialists, Independence Lea
guers, and Prohibitionists in the 18th
Illinois district could well afford to
unite or the Democratic candidate in
order to defeat Cannon. Such defeat
would render a service to the nation
that no other district in the United
States has the power TO render.
Speaker Cannon's defeat would, of
course, come too late to help other Re
publican candidates for Congress.
While the effort is being made to pre-
vent Cannon's reelection in his dis
trict, the voters at large will be gov
erned, in considerable numbers, by a
desire TO prevent his reelection by the
House, in case his district returns him.
Those candidates who are avOwed
supporters of Cannon, or who refuse to
declare against his reelection as Speak
er, will lose many votes this year-in
some instances enough to encompass
their defeat.
This issue is live factor in the Con-
gressional elections, and it will become
more and more assertive as the CAM
paign progresses. There is only one
thing that could eliminate it, and that
would be the elimination of Cannon as
a possibility for reelection. And it is
not probable that Cannon will resign
his seat or his ambition to be reelected
Speaker.

TESTED AND PROVEN
ABLE TO DEPEND UPON A WELL
EARNED REPUTATION.

For months Staunton readers have

lower end of King and Queen, the up

through the centre of the county of
Middlesex to Urbana, on the Kappa
hammock river. The scheme is being

liminary survey has been made, aud a
corps of engineers is now going over
the route to determine the cost of con-
