ROMANCE ON FACE
Of SILVER DOLLAR
FEATURES OF A GIRL WHO New
Err HAD 100 CENTS, ARE
USED.

The next time you get silver dol
lar, says the Memphis Commercial APP
peal, burnish it up bit and take
good look at the face of the goddess
stamped upon it. Did you ever see
finer features, loftier expression, a
countenance more suggestive of the
peace and calm and benevolence of
life?
as it not face to suggest honesty
and to inspire confidence? Would you
not go to a woman with such a coun-
tenance, sure of sympathy and con-
ISOLATION?
The story runs like this: Anna VIII
lis was the daughter of a wealthy
Southern slave owner and married
Henry Williams of Philadelphia, in the
good old times before the war. Unfor-
tunately for the young couple, DR.. Will
| lis, the girls father lost his fortune
and could not "set them up in the
style to which she had been reared.
| This, however, did not interfere with
the happiness of the two, who settled
in Philadelphia and eventually reared
family of nine children. During
these years Henry Williams made and
| lost a fortune, so that his wife, at his
death, found herself plunged into pow
orty. The last child named Anna Viii
lie Williams, was born about the open
ing of the Civil War. What trials
and privations the mother underwent
to educate and provide for her father
| less children will never be known, but
it is certain that Anna Willis Williams,
budding into exquisite womanhood
had none of the luxuries of life. Sc
serene and beautiful was her face that
everywhere she went people turned to
look at her.
One day the head of the Treasury
| Department sent for a designer named
George Morgan and commissioned him
to design the stamps for the new sill

The stamp for one side was quickly
made, but Morgan hunted long and dill
igently for face fair enough to adorr
the other. side. One day fellow

DISCUSSES PURITY OF
OLD-TlME REMEDIES

That many medicines, such as spir-
its of peppermint, camphor. and gin
ger. which are frequently used as
household remedies, fail of their pur
pose, Is accounted for by the great
variation in the strength and purity
of many of these preparations as sold
in the market. According to an arti-
Gle recently published by the United
States Public Health Service, there is
considerable variation in the strength
of many of the common remedies used
IN the household.
1t is also asserted that the loss of
human energy through sickness and
deaths from preventable diseases con-
stitutes by far the greatest waste of
our present day resources and that 1t
is not generally appreciated that this
waste is due either to neglect or ig-
norance so far as the use of prophy'
Tactic or curative measures may be
concerned.
A table presenting a compilation
from the reports of State chemists
shows that of 3,472 samples of ten of
fetal articles that are widely used as
household remedies, examined in 1913
1853, or 3S per cent, were rejected a:
being adulterated or not in compliance
with the official requirements.
A second table shows that of 5,34'
samples of the same articles examined
during 1912, 1861 of 35 per cent were
rejected
The PREPARATIONS included in these
/. tables are moro frequently used as
household remedies than on the pre-
scriptions of physicians, but are never
theless recognized medicines the abuse
or misuse of which may lead to serious
consequences.
The author concludes that more
energetic and active control of al
drugs and preparations is needed. Thu
desirable and only efficient method o
control involves honesty, knowledge
vigilance and care on the part of thu
person selling the product.
Members of boards of health ant
other state and federal officials ell
trusted with the enforcement of law
designed to control the purity ant
strength of medicinal products shout
call attention to the desirability Of nav
ing these laws enforced in way t.
secure for the purchaser drugs OF uni
form strength and purity with vieH
of minimizing as much as possih'e tn
untoward or secondary effects OF pr
tent medicines irrespective of whethe
they are used as household remedie
or under the direct supervision OF
competent physician.

interned in the countries with whom
the two empires are at war.
The losses of Austria Hungary
