a Lazy Liver

May Be only a tired liver, or starved
liver. It would be a stupid as we'll as
savage thing TO beat weary or starved
man because he Jagged in his work. So
in treating the tagging, torpid liver It is
g great mistake to lash 1t with strong
drastic drugs. A torpid liver is but an
Indication of an ill-nourished, enfeebled
body whose organs are weary with over
work. Start with the stomach and allied
organs Of digestion and nutrition. Put
them in working order and see how
quickly your liver will become active.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
has made many marvellous cures Of silver
trouble" by It's wonderful control Of the
organs OF digestion and nutrition. 1t re-
stores the normal activity of the stomach,
increases the secretions Of the blood-mak-
ing glands, cleanses the system from pol
sonous accumulations, and so relieves the
liver OF the burdens imposed upon 1t by
the detection Of other organs.

nearly a million dollar, at the close oi
the war. This debt has been heavy
burden for US TO carry, and we have, at
last, paid It eff to a point when we can
carry it fairly we'll. Notwithstanding
this heavy burden, we have quite ex-
tensive sewerage, and as good streets as
any city Of the same sizs usually has.
This our people have struggled to ac-
complish.
If we are taken back into The District,
will that debt be borne by the United
States government? II 30, you may
be sure thst We will be taxed to pay IT..
All we ask lie, that after over sixty
years of enjoying the privilege of being
VlrgInians, aud living on Virginia soil,
we be let clone. Taking Us back will
not help the District, Rud the stirring
up OF this question will only lead to
bitterness.
trust that you will pardon this letter
but l write 1t because | doub! whether
you have considered the moral side OF
this question. 1 have an idea that you
only looked at the legal side.
With great esteem, Very truly yours,

[ could not add anything stronger
than the words of that able and, in bis
ater wears, generous man to all sections
of the country. So that If tbs United
States could take away from Virginia 8
part OF her territory, it would not be
justified In doing 80, from moral stand
point.
The foundation of the efforts In the
Washington Post appears to have started
and ended with yourself. The great in
fluence of your public position and
private personality is exploited in the
Pcs. 1t is named, "The Taft Idea. !"
The article OF the twenty-sixih 10 started
az follows: "President Tsf!s plSu to
test the coDstilutionality Of the act CT
Congress whereby Alexandria county
was receded back to the State OF Viz
ginis,"
| do not believe you have thought of
the intense feeling of Virginiauo upon
this question. Real estate agents and
real estate owners have, from time to
time, stirred up this question, but old
time Vhginisns and those descended
from such, have very intense feeling
whenever the question is brought up.
For many years it has not been
looked upon seriously, uDtil the great
weight OF your name is used by the
Post.
Suppose the question can be raised,
end tho limited Stateg Government at
tempts to take this territory, will you do
as President Lincoln was com mpelled to
do-that is, cal for troops to enforce your
demand?
| You can say, of course, ss the Sd
preme Court has said, more than once,
the question of enforcing can be post
poned until that time arrives.
1t is not only the real Virginians who
live in this territory who will bitterly
oppose the movement, bat you will find
that the whole state will oppose.
| But this is not ali. You will also
probably find that much of the south
will stand with Virginia, against having
any more OF her territory taken frou

states to the union from her territory
know that you have deep affection
for the United States, and that th'
south is no different from any otbe
part of the country, 80 far as your feel

} expressed, so often, those kindly feel

your generous and kindly expressions

1ore Buoys For The River.

In order to safeguard the vessels tl,at
navigate the Delaware River and Bay
the entire buoyage system of the ri, ver
has been changed form Liston's POI mt
to Philadelphia. Sixty buoys have been
installed and numbered, showing lot
only where the deep water is, but what
particular shoaI the buoy is intended
to designate. Eighteen new buoys have
just been put in different places, in ad,ii-
ton to the is places in service last June
by the lighthouse officials of this distri, It.
Additional buoys have been placed
on the Reedy Island, Bellevue, Cher y
Island and Schooner Ledge ranges to
mark the turns of the channel as veil
as to show the deeper water. Already
two of the buoys have been carried
away by being run over by vessels, on e
being at Joe Flogger Shoal and the other
further up the bay. Captain Bispharn,
the lighthouse inspector, announces that
this important work has been finished IN
accordance with the recommendations Of
the Lighthouse Board.
The maritime interests oil the port al k

A Chicago mail order house recently
distributed about 1000 catalogues in
Monessen, Pa, and the Call of that city
in commenting on this fact, says: "They
were expensiveIy printed catalogues, and
the distributor got something like five
dollars per Thousand for handling them.
So the company expects to get some of
Monessen's dollars in return for the ex-
pense and trouble. 1t is a good time to
remember that Montgomery Ward never

As skunk fur has become the vogue
in fashionable gowns, and as the skunk
furrier has announced his intention of
presenting Mrs. Taft with a skunk fur,
all women who wish to keep UP with
the fashions will want skunk fur.
That will surely stimulate an infant
industry which needs patronage and
protection, and skunk farming should
become a profitable industry in the near
near future for fur and perfumery.
