Georgetown Lady
Had Been In Poor
Health for Years
Relates How ''Dreeo' Restores Her.
Has No hore Gas or Sour Stomach.
Is Stronger and Sleeps Well.

Twenty-Five per cent Of our edu-
Gated people die from ignorance" is
the recent statement of a noted
scientist. although paradoxical, the
truth of this statement is significant
especially with respect to those who
live in the cities
Washington may be taken as an
apt illustration that will apply to
American cities in general, where
there is constant hustle and strife
to earn living, to make a fortune,
or excel in any line of endeavor. The
grind whether of physical labor,
mental tolls or the exactions of So
ciety, tells upon the nerves of the hui
man structure. The pace is too fast
and far astray from the simple plan
of nature. After wide search Dreco
was discovered, which is combina-
ton of plants, from the juices Of
which is extracted a tonic which has
proven to be the greatest Of all
known remedies for the stomach,
liver. kidneys, and blood. This is
now widely known on account of its
reviving and reconstructing powers,
which is so noticeable that the user
finds himself infused with new life
and energy as if by magic.
Daily, Dreco, is obtaining con-
verts in Washington, which is at
tested by the. signed statements of
people who have given it fair trial.
Fer instance the testimonial of Mrs.
Mary Oman. of s239 P street,
Georgetown. a well-known and popu-
lar lady, stated, "For a long time l.
have suffered with gas forming in
my stomach, belching, and sourness.
I was losing my strength and could
not sleep we'll. / suffered great deal
and dreaded to sit down to the table.
Three bottles of Dreco have made
a different person of me, I am much
stronger, sleep well, and the gas does
not bother me any more. heartily
racomMend Dreco.
Get Dreco today from Ernest L..

The shooting of Samuel W. Taylor
q printer, at the Sterling Hotel.
Washington, Saturday night by j..
B. Ragland, also printer, OF Dam
vile, Va, will be investigated by
Coroner hewitt, who will hold an
inquest this afternoon. According TO
the story told by Ragland, he had

night he was accosted on the street
by Taylor and made friends with the
stranger, when he told him that ne
was a printer. The two went about
the streets together, taking an oc-
casional drink. He said that when
TAYLOR told him that he had nowhere
to sleep he invited him to share ms
bed at the hotel The pair went TO
the hotel and directly to his ROOM
Raeland said that some time after he
had been asleep he was awakened by
TAYLOR attempting to assault him.
He said he ordered Taylor to dress
and leave the room, and when Taylor
suddenly turned on him, as if to
clutch him by the throat, he picked
up his pistol, lying on the table, and
fred one shot at Taylor, who col
lapsed and fell back into chair and
died before medical aid could reach
him.

MORE RELIGION IN FRANCE
Jean A. Picard, Of Paris, Tells Church
Audience of Wars Results.

France is becoming more religious
on account of the war, Jean a
Picard, of Paris, France, told the
congregation at the Church OF the
Covenant, Washington, yesterday
afternoon.
"France, in it's solemn thoughts
is forever turning more to the spiri-
tualistic, and the new generation
of: La Patrie' is turning more to
the churches" he said. He spoke
of the heroic sacrifices being made
by the clergy at the front. Many
are chaplains,. but greater number
have donned the uniform and are
beside their fellows under fire.
Mr.. Picard came to Washington
on tour he is making of Eastern
cities, in which he is speaking TO
acquaint Americans with the French
point of view of this war. He was
on the firing line through two years
of war, but being i'll of rheumatism
from standing in trench water days
at time, he was retired.

struck her, and could not be brought

Precaution had been taken to moor

consequently sinking her did not

provided with new protective deck

chant, who died on Thursday night
in Memorial Hospital, was sentenced
70 be hanged by General'Phil Sher-
dan during the Civil War, but finally
was saved by the intercessions OF
women of the town. He was en-
ployed as a clerk in the Winchester
post-office, which was in charge OF
Federal officials, and once when
tho town was in the hands of the
Northern troops young Wall was
arrested by order of Sheridan,
charged with conveying secret in
formation to the Confederates.
He was given military trial and
sentenced to be hanged. Women OF
the town interceded in his behalf,
with the result that Sheridan, after
reconsidering the case, had the YER
dict set aside, but had Wall placed
on mule and taken outside the
Federal lines to Martinsburg, W..
Va, with warning never to return.
Mr.. Wall later rendered good service
to the Confederate army by carrying
mail through the Shenandoah Valley
from Confederate soldiers to their
loved ones at home. This was a par
ticularly dangerous mission, as dis
covery meant death.
Mr.. Wall belonged to an old Win
chester family, and for many years
was engaged in the book and sta
tionery business. He leaves one Sis
ter, Mrs. James W. Barr, of Win
