Williamsburg IS flooded with the
samples of a patent medicine which
are handed out TO. or are being got
ten by. little children who eat them
as candy. Only yesterday a little
girl came to this office with a sam
pie box OF kidney pills and two box
es OF dyspepsia remedy. It would
appear to US that this is a dangerous
habit. this indiscrminate handing
out of sample medicine. The drugs
are harmless. perhaps, If taken &C
oording 10 directions, but a child
might take too much with dire re-
suits. We have seen these samples
scattered broadcast over the town,
thrown IN Railways, yards. Porchss.
and even iirtering the sidewalks. II
IS a dangerous practice and may re-
suit il the death OF a child. The
local druggists have nothing to DO
with this practice and are nowise re-
sPcnsiole. But the city council
should not lose a moment in adopt
ing a stringent ordinance against the
the indiscnminate scattering OF sam
pies OF drugs about town. Il is too
serious a matter TO be passed over
lightly.

al evidences OF bonded indebtedness
while the man who owns the pro-
perry upon which the money is
loaned VII pay whatever rate the
county boards Of supervisors or the
city councils of the towns see fit to
levy.
Let Us illustrate SO that Que readers
VII understand the real meaning Of
this obnoxious measure. A lends 3
$500 on his farm. assessed say at
$1,000. Under this proposed law
when A returns this bond for taxa
ton the rate wculd be twenty-five
cents on the 500. while the borrow
G. in Williamsburg would pay on the
property on which the $500 loan is
made Sl.2S on the 500. The pa
tron of the bill gave two reasons why
Il should become a law. The first
was, that owing TO the high rate IN
cities. lenders evaded the law and
made m returns Of bonds (deeds OF
trusts; and that capital seeking IN
vestment would be wary OF investing
under such conditions. Second. that
il is double taxation.
The bill is 50 manifestly marked
with tavort6sm 20 the monied IN
terests that we are at a loss to under
stand how q fair minded man could
even offer such 4 measure. The
same newspaper report says Cover
nor Mann tavors the passage Of the
bill We cannot believe that this is
tue. for the meaning OF the legisls-
ton proposed IS too obvious.
The effect o. this zw would be
highly 6emorzlizing and tend to
make the already heavy burden OF
the farmers more buTdensone. The
property owner would have 70 carry
the burden OF taxes shifted from the
OF the men and corpora
lions dealing II money as a com
modify. Real estate now pays the
larger part OF all taxes and none OF
Il escapes. The rzscally capitalist
who hides his securities In bank
vaults and annually PsTjurss himself
70 save q few palt-y dollars that
belong 70 his state as his share OF the
AK burden, would be just as apt TO
continue to PeTiure himself If the
rate were made ter cents instead OF
cents on the hundred.

Nor Is A any poorer for having
made the loan. because his $500 is

8 per cent. interest on Il and IN this
way Il IS really OF more value 10 him

secrets. To do this freely is not
an evidence of intellectual strength
or activity. Alcohol again has a
specific effect on the nervous sys-
tenn as disturber of accuracy. In
this lies the joy of wine, such as it
is. 1t has a certain power to drive
dull care away, to erase from the
sad calendar the unborn tomorrow
and the dead yesterday, 1t has
also the power of causing the nerv-
GUS system to lie; as to make one
feel warm when he is not, to make
one feel good when he is not. The
nervous system once taught to lie,
afterwards fails to record the truth.
1t makes victim uncertain as to
what he sees or feels; hazy as to
the meaning of his sensations and
shaky when he carries his feeling
into action.
Let no man deceive himself
about alcoholic liquors. The man
who drinks brandy or wine, whisky
or beer, ought to bear in mind that
these drinks do not give strength,
but rather dissipate strength.
There are a great many people
who believe a moderate use OF
alcohol under certain circumstances
produces health and strength,
makes good flesh and builds up.
Indulgence in these drinks should
be classed as dissipation. They
souander strength. They do not
give strength at all. No man is
stronger for having taken a glass
of whiskey He may temporarily
feel strong, but the glass of whisky
has deceived him. He has taken
from the stock of vitality at an
exorbitant interest.
