Honest Medicine versus Fakeg.

honest Medicine versus Fakes.
President Tafts recent message
suggesting an amendment to the Pure
Food and Drugs law in its relation to
prepared medicines, does not refer to
such standard medicines as Foley's
Honey and Tar Compound and Foley
Kidney Pills, both of which are true
medicines carefully compounded Of
ingredients whose medicinal qualities
are recognized by the medical pro-
fesslon itself as the best known rem
edial agents for the diseases they are
intended to counteract. For over
three decades Foley's Honey and
Tar Compound has been standard
remedy for coughs, colds and affec-
tions of the throat, chest and lungs
for children and for grown persons,
and 1t retains today its pre-eminence
above all other preparations Of It's
kind. Foley Kidney Pills are equally
effective and meritorious.

From ali that can be learned
Clark. who claims TO be a Baldwin

time to catching crooks. In the light
of deyelo pmentS he seems to have
been clever also at ensnaring the az
fections Of at least two young wo-
men, both of whom he married. since
he has been confined In the Staun-
ton jail Clark has made no attempt
to deny that he MARI IL the two
women. 1t IS said. nor ha ne appeared
greatly worried as to lat Is likely
to happen to him, no that his sec
ond wife's relatives have landed him
in the hands OF the police.

VITAL STATISTICS
ARE MUG Y NEEDFD

II Virginia hopes to get the best re-
suits from her health work and to
realize the largest possible return
from the money invested in this cause.
the Commonwealth must sneed.ly en-
act law requiring the report Of
births and deaths
This, In brief Is one Of the tmpor-
tant arguments advanced by the
health commissioner In his annual
report. just filed with the governor.
Virginia says the commissioner is
one of the few States which makes no
provisions for vital statistics. No man
can secure for legal PURPOSES trans
script OF an official record proving
the time and pleace Of his birth or the
time and place ofthe death Of any
person in whose estate he may be In
terested. In the same way. the health
authorities of the State have no means
of ascertaining the number OF deaths
from any given cause.
