About 2 o'clock Friday afternoon last
while the Columbia steam fire engine
was engaged in pumping out the sunkeR
steamer Trenton, at Alexandria wharf,
an obstacle was noticed against the sue
ton pipe of the engine and it was with
difficulty that water could be drawn
through the pipes. Engineer Smith,
having noticed the same obstacle about
two hours previous, made an investiga-
tion and discovered the body of the 20
months old baby which was drowned
when the steamer sank Sunday, May 8.
When it was gotten out its little hands
and face were badly mutilated, perhaps
by the suction pipe, but the clothes and
little shoes were as good as when first it
sank beneath the water. The wonder of
everyone is how the baby ever sunk be-
tween the engine and boiler in the fire
room, congested spot hard to be reach
ed by the living, especially when the
child was on top of the water away
from the boat when forced from its
mothers arms. Having sunk to the po-
sition where found, the child was pro-
tected against the fish and the body was
somewhat less mutilated.
The decea, ed baby was the little
grandson of Mr.. Albert B. Posey, Of
Chicamuxen, this County.

MAKE 1T YOUR SELF.
Tells Our Readers How TO Mix Best
Rheumatism Cure.

Rheumatism Cure.
A well known authority on Rheuma-
tsm gives the readers Of large New
York daily paper the following valuable,
vet simple and harmless, prescription,
which any one can easily prepare at
home;
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparila, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking well in bottle, and
take a teaspoonful after each meal and
at bed time.
He states that the ingredients can be
obtained from any good prescription
pharmacy at small cost, and, being of
vegetable extraction, are harmless to
take.
This pleasant mixture, il taken regu-
larly for few days, is said to overcome
almost any case of Rheumatism. The
pain and swelling, if any, diminishes
with each dose, until permanent results
are obtained, and without injuring the
stomach. While there are many so
called Rheumatism remedies, patent
medicines, ETC., some of which do give
relief, few really give permanent results,
and the above will, no doubt, be greatly
appreciated by many sufferers here at
this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores of this
neighborhood elicits the information
that these drugs are harmless and can
be bought separately, or the druggists
here will mix the prescription for our
readers, if asked to.

A POETS DIET.
Byron's Strenuous Efforts to Keep

Byron's Strenuous Efforts to Keep
Himself From Getting Fat.
you mention Browning's idea that
starvation was the cure for all the Ills
of the fiesh--his own, at any rate. "
says a correspondent Browning was
not the only poet with peculiar views
on the subject. One of Byron's chief
fears was that of becoming fat and to
avoid it he often resorted to extraor-
binary systems of diet. AT Athens he
lived mainly on rice and vinegar and
water. Later he confined himself to
six biscuits day and tea. In 1916 he
had so restricted his diet that he was
obliged to keep down hunger by chew
ing mastic and tobacco. Don Juan
was written on gin and water"
Byron. it has been pointed out, was
one of those foredoomed by their con.
stitutions to fairness In middle life,
whether they eat much or little and
his victory over nature In this respect
for he succeeded in reducing himself
by these violent methods-has been
quoted as one of the most remarkable
achievements of the human will. con-
sidering all the circumstances. 1t must
have been bitter to him to see such a
man as Beau Brummel, who ate and
drank freely and took no exercise, re-
gance of figure that was his greatest
gift No wonder Byron's was the po-
etry of gloom.-London News.

Exercise or Die.

other muscles, else the individual be

for many hours daily, never gives any
thought to artificial exercise, for he
has no need of any But the profess

the saleswoman-all these find little
real use for the muscles In their daily
employment, and they require to take
up. some system of physical exercise
to maintain normal health. Then there
are factory operatives and the toilers
In various trades, whose work brings
into play certain sets of muscles, while
others are out of use. These require
exercise adapted to giving employment
to the neglected muscles. There Is
also class Of wealthy people who do
no regular work Of any kind, who re

Marian Life Dying.


A sadder interest attaches to such
existence it is, cosmically speak
ing, soon to pass away. To our
eventual descendants life on Mars will
no longer be something to scan and
interpret. 1t will have lapsed beyond
the hope of study or recall. Thus to
us it takes on an added glamour from
the fact that 1t has not long to last
for the process that brought 1t to Its
present pass must go on to the bitter
end until the last spark of Marian
life goes out. The drying up OF the
planet is certain to proceed until its
surface can support no life at all
Slowly, but surely, time will snuff II
out. When the last ember is thus ex
tinguished the planet will roll deao
world through space, its evolutionary
career forever ended.-Professor Low
