Spent S65. 900 for Tract.

The board of charities was estab-
1ished by Congress. and its members,
whom ] recommended to President Nc
sKinley, were appointed by him and be-
gan their work July 1. 1900. After a
years study they united with the Dis
trict Commissioners in recommending
the. removal of the municipal hospital
and provision for modern equipment.
We then asked and obtained from Con-
gresS appropriation of 100000 for
the site and bought for 1000 the thir-
ty-five acres on Georgia avenue and set
1t apart for that purpose.
7 1T is sufficiently large to provide for
expansion for many years to come and
to prevent any annoyance to the people
who have since settled in that neigh
lborhood. We then obtained from Con-
gresS $4,000 to procure plans for the
municipal hospital on the new site. L
personally presented the arguments for
both these appropriations to the ap-
Preparations committees. With the five
fhousand-dollar appropriation we held
a fine competition for plans, won by the
firm of Frank Miles Day of Philadel-
sphia, afterward president of the Amer
ican Institute of Architects. In 1902 l
presented the arguments before both
appropriations committees for the
adoption of the fine plan and the neces-
sary appropriation. They met with IA
Tvor from Senator Mcmillan, then chair
man of the Senate District committee,
Senator Gallinger and others, but were
opposed by persons interested in pri-
waite hospitals. who mistakenly thought
that the project would interfere with
the prosperity of their hospitals. This
prevented the adoption of
sthe plan and the appropriation of the
=money. Subsequently we were able,
however, to get an appropriation of
z$10o, 900 for the tuberculosis ward of
the proposed municipal hospital, and
with it constructed what is commonly
called the tuberculosis Hospital, on the
municipal hospital size.

CALOMEL CLAIMS
MANY VICTIMS.
Science Has at Last Discovered
a Substitute for it Called
LemoIac.

Very few realize how many people
are salivated by calomel each year
Every one who has taken this danger
GUS drug knows that it gripes, sickens
and is very unpleasant to take, but all
do not know that while it acts violent
ly on your liver, that it softens your
bones and is liable to salivate you.
Many doctors dislike to prescribe it
as they would any other poisonous
drug and some doctors refuse to give
it to their patients, 1t is for these
reasons that men of science have been
patiently searching for a substitute
for dangerous calomel and have at
last discovered a medicine that pos
sesses the merits of calomel without
its dangerous and unpleasant effects.
This new medicine is called Lemo-
lac and is now on sale at j. o..
Alexander, Dresden, and all live
druggists who please their customers.

Terrell'S Drug
Store Robbed.

The drug store of our popular
druggist, D. F. Terrell, was en-
tered some time during sunday
night and iewelry, silverWare and
Christmas novelties to the value
OF about $500 was taken by the
thief or thieves.
Mr.. Terrell had stocked up
heavily on these goods for his
Christmas trade. Part of the Jew
elry had not been marked up,
having just come in, and he does
not know at this time the correct
amount OF his loss, which, how
ever, is heavy. When Mr.. Ter
rell came down to open up Mon
day morning he found his front
door open, and is thought some
one had a false key to fit the door.
The robbery evidently occurred
before the big snow in the early
morning hours, as no tracks were
visible. The night Waterman says
hat late at night he heard
the bell on a cash drawer,
that he tried to locate the sound,
but was unable to do so. He made
his round, but did not see a light
anywhere and concluded every
thing was all right.
The general belief is that the
robbery was committed by local
parties.
