The good roads movement has spread
to Takoma Park, Nd. resulting in the

FEW OYSTERS AT WHARF.
Wind Is UnfavorabIe to Laden Craft
Coming Up River.

There were less than fifty bushels OF
oysters all told aboard the vessels lying
at the oyster wharf last night Unless
there are arrivals of oyster-laden craft at
the wharf market tomorrow, there will
not be an oyster on sale from a vessel,
though they still can be found in the
shucking houses. The dealers at the
wharf are looking for three or four YES
sells to arrive at any time, but as the
wind is from the northwest. and unfavor-
able to vessels coming up the river, the
chances for many arrivals today are few.
The oyster longing season on the river
and bay ends within the next two weeks
and after the time for taking oysters from
the natural beds is over, it can be said
the season will be closed, although oys-
tiers can be obtained at the wharf
throughout the summer.

Dear Sir: / feel 1t my duty to let You
know what the Alpan Krautcr has done
for me-
About four years ago I was suffering
terribly with Rheumatic Gout and Bright s
Disease. Had been taking medicine from
dInerent doctors for about fifteen years,
told me had not long to live. Then I
went to the hospital and failed to get any
relief finally returning to my room, and
was In bed for one year, when one day my
cousin called and begged me to take the
German Herb Medicine called Alpan
krauter-said she was sure it would do
me good.
To please her, I sent and got a bottle
from you, January. 1909, and after taking
two-thirds of bottle 1 could raise my
arms. When I had taken a part of the
second bottle I still improved, and kept
on until I had taken five bottles Then
got out and resumed business at my old
stand, Cigar Store. 18th and e SITS. NV.
Gratefully yours,

disorders, Nervousness, Neuralgia, Boils
and Skin Eruptions. all kinds of Rheuma-
uSm. 1t is Great Blood Purge.
The most wonderful thing about this
Medicine is that instead of injuring your
stomach, as most all Rheumatic Medi-
cineS do, it cures stomach troubles. Cured
lady S5 years old of this city of Catarrh
of the Stomach: made remarkable cure
of Sciatic Rheumau sm after a number Of
specialists had failed-the last one in
Mexico, put her limb in plaster cast for
six weeks. Will quote part of her letter:
My trouble was strictly sciatie. and for
more than fourteen months I suffered tor
lures. For six months I was down in Old
Mexico, which I think aggravated my
case very much. I was compelled to have
a maid or trained nurse all Of the time.
so you can imagine what my case was
like.

FISH RECEIPTS HEAVY.
Sixty Thousand Herring and 20, 900
Shad Reach Wharf.

The receipts Of shad and herring from
all sources by the dealers at the fish
wharf were yesterday quite heavy. about
&C. 900 herring and 10000 shad having been
received. The bulk Of the fish came from
the nets in Chesapeake bay and In the
mouth Of the Potomac. and Were brought
here on three vessels that have been
placed in the fish trade. The net at Fairy
landing was fished yesterday afternoon.
In the herring received at the wharf
market large number OF menhaden are
found, and as they are only good for
fertilizer they have to be thrown away.
The presence OF the fish has several
times fooled vessel masters. After the
menhaden are thrown out the cargoes
have been cut down a third or more. The
heavy receipts yesterday have caused a
drop in prices. and shad are selling at
about 35 cents each for roes and % cents
for bucks. Herring are bringing s. per
thousand.
