of Baltimore. with which city commu-
nication by boat three times a week
may be depended upon during the sum

Tangier, so completely isolated from
the usual lines of travel that il hardly
seems possible that 1t can be a part of
the state of Virginia. Imagine, if
you can, an island about five miles
long and ,three-fourths of a mile IN
width, with Il population of nearly
1900, where each house is connected
with Chesapeake bay by n tiny canal;
an island where the population has
built homes along one narrow street
but nine feet in width, without side
walks, roadbed or gutter; an island
where the women go about with bare
feet and calico gowns during the week
and where the men leave for their work
at an early hour on Monday morning
and remain away until Saturday after
noon: an island where Intoxicating Iiq-
uors are not sold, where billiard rooms
and pool rooms are unknown; an island
where one physician and the minister
constitute the professional class; an is
land where profanity is punished by
fine; an island without Jail or lookup
and where religion Is the rule and to
be outside of the church Is to be out
side of the pale Of the best society; an
island where public cemeteries are IN

home are buried in the front yard. IL

RHEUMATISM RECIPE
Directions To Prepare Simple, Yet
Remarkable Home Mixture


A well-known authority on Rheu-
natism gives the following valuable,
although simple and harmless, pre-
scription, which any one can easily
prescribe at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking well in a bottle, and
take teaspoonful after each meal and
at bedtime.
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, if taken re-
gularly for few days, is said to over
come almost any case Of Rheumatism.
The pain and swelling, if any, dimin.
ishes with each dose, until permanent
results are obtained, and without in.
juring the stomach. While there are
many so-called Rheumatism remedies,
patent medicines ETC., some Of which
do give relief, few really give perma-
nent results, and the above will, no
doubt, be greatly appreciated by many
sufferers here at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores of this
neighb0rho0d elicits the information
that these drugs are harmless and can
be bought separately, or the: e::druggists
here will mix the prescription for our
readers if asked to.
