NIPPON DRUGS
EXAMINED

The work of getting the Japanese
manufacturers of patent medicines so|
label correctly the potions that they
put up, is proceeding rapidly. Food
Commissioner Blanchard has taken
the matter up with the local japanese
Druggists Association, and transla'
tions have been made of the labels
referring to the contents. These will
be gone over once more, and if found
correct then the descriptions will be
sent to Japan, where they will be
printed in Japanese, while the trans
lations will be held at this end, 50
that they can be checked at any time
should it be considered necessary to
do So At present there are many ia
panese nostrums arriving here con-
tanning exaggerated statements re-
garding their powers and their con-
tents, but this will all pass away, when
the matter of re-labelling has been
completed.
A further twenty-five cases of ia
panese meat have been released from
the customs authorities, by the receipt
by Food Commissioner Blanchard of
veterinary. surgeons certificate to
the effect that the beasts were in a
healthy condition before they were
killed. Slowly but surely the big pile
held up at the customs premises on
account of the failure of the Japan
csc shippers to compley with this con
dition, is being reduced, and it is hop
ed soon to have all in line, so that
none at all will be detained.

Sunday morning, April 30, 1911, at
6 o'clock, the soul Of Alpha Ralphsny'
der winger it's fight to the great be.
You'd, where we are told that there is
no night and the weary are at rest.
He was. born April 26, 1891, making
his age 81 years and four days at the
time Of his death. He was the last
one of the family. Mr.. Ralphsnyder
is survived by his wife and three sons,
George Ralphsnyder, Of Fairmont; !.
g, and William, at home. Three sons,
John. Marion and Richard, died a
number of years ago. Mr.. Ralphsny.
der united with the M. 3. church,
South, tiftyoyearsjo or more ago. and
during Dthese many years heaheia 70
the faith and was q good, kind Chris
tan man. Mr.. gRalphsnyder had sat
in hislchalrfor nearlyft5lyears. About
three weeks ago he 'wasEtaken serious.
" iii and grew weaker turtiliadeath
claimed him! BHe bore hisa suferings
without a murmur, never complaining,
onlyu onceIin awhile saying helwas
tired! He was one of those genial per-
sons whom eyeEy one respects and his
memory will beg enshfined in the
hearts of all,who knew him. He was
one who saw the dawn. while others
lived in night. gHe always sought for
light. His object was to knowfto find
reason for his faith, aaact on which
to build. He lived and labored for his
fellowmen. According to his light he
lived, The church was his country,
to do good his religion. There is no
language to express nobler creed
than this; nothing can be grander,
more comprehensive, nearer perfect
This was the creed that glorlt1ed his
life and made his death sublime. He
was afraid to do wrong and for that
reason was not afraid to die. A few
days ago he told his son, George, he
did not want to stay, and. was not
afraid to. die. He knew that the end
was near, and knew that his work was
done. He stood within the twilight
within the deepening gloom, knowing
that for the last time the gold was
fading from the west and that there
could not fall again within his eyes
the trembling lustre of another dawn
The community has lost one among
Its best citizens, Though we feel sad
when remembering that he will nc
more welcome us in his pleasant home
nor walk about the familiar paths ne
SO often trod.
Far away in the realms o! glory,
Where no sorrows of earth will be
found,
We may hear him repeat the old story
When the last trump OF Gabriel
shall sound.
He slumbers no more when the trump
shall sound
Der my fathers grave.
