State Of Maryland
PURE FooD AND DRUGS.
Proposed Law Discussed BY State
Pharmacists.

Proposed Law Discussed BY State
Pharmacists.
Ocean City.-The Maryland Phar.
maceutical Association, which in
cludes in it's membership the lead.
ing druggists of the state, held its
first session of the twenty-seventb
annual meeting in the casino of the
Plimhimmon Hotel. Two sessions
were held, one at 10 A. M. the
other at 3 p. M. President w. M.
Fouch, of Baltimore, presided and
made an address. The presidents
address, as we'll as the reports of the
secretary and treasurer and of the
membership committee, brought out
the fact that the association is in
better condition for effective work
than ever before.
One of the most interesting ques-
lions under discussion at this annual
meeting was the pure food and drug
law which is to be introduced in the
next session of the legislature. The
subject was discussed informally, and
great interest was shown. The
druggists throughout the state, as
well as the manufacturers and job
bers, are interested in legislation
along these lines, but heretofore
there has not been any systematic
cooperation of the various interests.
The report of the executive commits
tee and also the remarks OF the
members of the association indicated
that much work had been done dur
ing the year and that all interests
are working together harmoniously
for law which will not only pro-
tect the public, but the legitimate
drug trade.

ing them. If, however, we lift the
curtain and look at the many facts
all unwittingly hidden, then we be-
gin to appreciate the American home,
TO understand why it is an integral
feature of independence Day.
The very first name signed to the
Declaration of independence, which
gave Independence Day its name, was
home-loving John Hancock, whom
the English tried to have sent to
England to be tried for alleged
treason. The people who knew him
SO well in Massachusetts counte-
nanced nothing of the sort. "All you
have to do" they said, sis to visit
the Governors home to find out what
q fine man he is" In one of his adj
dresses Governor Hancock declared
the colonists were mot only fighting
for their liberty, but for their very
homes" This great American, whose
name is to-day a synonym for a fine,
bold signature, had no hesitation in
giving the home the prominence it
deserved in the contest that resulted
IN American independence. 1t is a
great pity the Massachusetts, Legisla-
Snre refused to purchase the old Han
cock home on Beacon Hill, in Boston,
and that its destruction followed such
refusal.
When 1888 came and with it the
end of the war, the poor. feeble little
Nation hurrahed with all the strength
u had, and celebrated the next In
dependence Day with just as much
pomp and satisfaction as formerly
distinguished the militia training
days 1t is just as well to remember,

soldiers we sometimes see July 4 are

immense brick chimney, containing q
huge oven. Indeed, the most pleas
ant room of the home of this descrip-
tion was the kitchen, with its huge
fireplace, swinging crane and high
backed settle, its punches of herbs,
of apples and of onions hanging from
the ceiling, the corner cupboard
bright with pewter mugs and dishes,
and cosy table to which buckwheat
cakes might be handed from the grid

Here was served the midday dinner

toes and brown bread. OF the fine

mon the old-time home knew little.
1t was from homes such as those
described that the founders of the
Nation went forth. to war. When
Washington was asked the rock on
which he considered his splendid
career founded, he answered, simply,
"My mothers teachings" Hundreds
of other mothers in later days, al
though perhaps not SO openly herald
ed, have been the real causes of great
successes among men upon whom the
cares of State and Nation have rested.
The modern home has much more
in the way of comfort, as we under
stand the word. Sometimes it is said
that the increase in comfort has
threatened our strength as Nation,
and that the splendid achievements
of the men of earlier generations
were the result of the sterner life
that was theirs.
If there Is any one who cherishes
such believe, it will be well for him
to observe closely what happens In
dependence Day, to read some Of the
addresses, to watch the vigor with
which Young America celebrates, to
note the power and strength visible
on every hand, to look on the men
whom we call representative, and
then compare them with those who
have been held up to us as models
of physical and intellectual vigor. If
the American home of the present
needs vindication Independence Day
events furnish it.
There Is no more striking contrast
than Nbetween independence Day,
1909, and that melancholy July 4,
1884, when it seemed as if instead
of remaining a united and friendly
people, the American Nation was like
ly to resolve itself into thirteen hos
tile nations. Fortunately common

Princess. Anne.-At an early hour
the other morning, while a colored
boy was going to Bounds store, near
Widgeon's Wharf, Somerset County,
he discovered the dead body of Sam
uel c. Whitney lying behind the
schoolhouse near that place. Word
was sent here to Sheriff Long, who
with Justice E. B. Lyons, went to the
scene. A jury of inquest was SUM
moned, with w. T. Holland foreman;
DR.. H. A. Barnes as physician, and
E. B. Lyons as coroner. The jury
rendered a verdict that Whitney came
to his death by his own hands by
cutting his throat with a razor.
whitney was 70 years of age and
resident of Salisbury, and had been
in a demented condition for some
time.

Pacific Railroad Bond Claim Mi.

San Francisco-An effort to reopen
legal proceedings against the South
ern Pacific Railroad Company involv-
ing approximately $5O,OOO,O0O, was
rendered fruitless Monday by the dis
missal in the United States Circuit
Court of the suit filed by John A. kuy-
kendall administrator of the estate of
Charles Durkee, to compel the rail
road company to redeem S9,OOOO0e
worth of Union Pacific construction
bonds purchased by the deceased while
governor of the territory of Utah in
1865. Suit was dismissed on the
ground that none of the parties to it
were residents OF this district. kuy-
kendall's action named the Central Pa
cific Railroad Company, the Central
Trust Company of New York and the
Farmers Trust Company of New York
as co-defendants. Previous action of
a similar nature was brought in Utah
shortly after Durkee's death in 1870,
and Judgment was rendered against
Kuykendall. Recently he attempted
to reopen the matter here. With ac-
cruing interest the total of the claim is
$50,000,000.
