The delegation from Alexandria receiv-

along the line of march. Their box signs
each bearing a letter, and spelling the
name OF their city, took the fancy of the
crowds.
Red hres ana American fsgs do not

Quite mix-up occurred at the gate to
the White House grounds, which was
used to admit members Of the chorus who
serenaded the President. Admission was
supposed to be by card only, but many
Insisted their cards had already been
collected. These were also permitted to
pass by the police until the crowd around
the gate reached such proportions that
they were forced to lock the gate and
refuse further admission to anyone. q

Till He Took Dreco.

Robert Dornen, residing at Belle

and familiar figure in his home town.
He made this statement recently:
Dreco has certainly been a good
friend to me. 1t has done me a world
Of good. and 1 now feel better than !
have in years.
I've been in lots of close places and
had many a hard struggle, but this
stomach trouble, constipation and kid
ney disease I've been battling against
for years is the worst enemy l ever
had to fight l suffered so terribly
from smothering spells and shortness
Of breath that 1 was actually afraid
to eat anything. 1 was doing all /
could all the time to check II up, but
i could see II was growing worse.
Finally I got in such 8 bad condition
that not only could not work. but l
could not walk. and 1 was forced to
surrender and go to bed. l got So bad
had to be lifted up in bed SO could
breathe.
Il was treated by good doctors and
had spent lots OF money on medicines,
but I kept going down till / began
taking Dreco, and very soon 1 began
to feel better. After my first bottle
began to improve very much, and
the Improvement was rapid. I have
now taken two bottles and the change
the medicine has made in my condi-
tion Il wonderful. I can eat anything
I want now without pain or distress.
The smothering spells and shortness
Of breath have tsopped, and L can
sleep the night through without walk
ing; neither do my kidneys call me
Ip during the night any more. 4 can
walk around with all ease and climb
stairs without any difficulty. I am
glad to give my Endorsement for
Dreco. for maybe 1t will help some
other old soldier or someone else

from, their suffering"
