ClTYS PRIDE WELL FOUNDED
Alexandria, Va, Has Right to Boast Of
Her Present as Well as Her
Past GIories.

Alexandria, Va, is thriving little
southern city with a historic back
ground. The city can never decide
Of which it should be proudest-its
prosperous present or historic past
AS rule it divides its pride equally
between them. Several times it has
been given an opportunity to become
part Of the District Of Columbia and
proudly refused.
Alexandrians will show you with
equal pride their busy shipyards and
harbor and then escort you to one of
their ancient landmarks, such as
Christ church or the Carlyle house.
Christ church is sacred to the memory
Of the south's two greatest heroes,
Washington and Lee. The Washington
and Lee pews in the church are side
by side, their names marked by silver
plates. Twin mural tablets on the
churchs wall are inscribed to their
memory. The chancel rail is the one
before which they knelt. the tablets Of
the Lords prayer and Apostles Greed
were there in Washington's time. In
the vestry room relics of the heroes
are preserved-the record Of their pur-
chase Of their pews, the Bible and the
long handled purse used in Washing
tons time for the offerings.
The congress Of Alexandria met in
the old Carlyle house, over twenty
wears before tho hatt1a of TayinrtOn
was fought. 1t was the first protest
against taxation without representa-
ton held in Virginia. 1t was in this
same old mansion that the BraddOck
expedition was decided upon. Wash
ington was a frequent visitor to the
house. His diary has often the words:
"LOdg'd at Col. Carlyle's."

As to Punctuation.

With all that may be said about
punctuation its use is pretty well as
much part and parcel of the writer as
are the words of the text. To one man
comma is merely "a breathing" and
he puts one in where a reader would
seem to need to pause for breath !;
whereas to others comma is rather
a ha1fdy mark for setting off word
or clause that is to degree some
what apart in form or sense from the
direct implication of the sentence. All
of which brings to mind the words of
that very practical schOOlmaster who
was the first to say to his class, The
best rule of all for punctuation is to
put in punctuation marks only where,
without them, the meaning would be
in Doubt

My friends and neighbors are all

For ten years before | took Tan

a burning pain would flash up my
throat, and almost parch my throat

when friends called they could
hardly recognize me.
"A friend advised me to take Tan
lac and l took her advice and start
ed taking it at once and sir the way
improved from the very first is re-
markable, and my weight and
strength came back so rapidly that
it has made me almost "a new
woman. Ny stomach is in fine con-
ditiOn and / am not troubled with
vomiting spells or chills and the
truth is. I don't have any kind of
aches Or pains at all. My appetite
is fine now and I enjoy going to the
table and eating, and at night I can
sleep as sound as child My re-
covery has been simply wonderful
and I just feel so well all the time
that I don't believe I was ever in
better health in all my life than ] am
right now. Why I've gained
twenty-five pounds already and / am
gaining more all the time. Tanlac
is certainly a remarkable medicine
and as long as live I'll praise it,

OLD LAW ON STATUTE BOOKS
II British Judges Were Guided by It
There Would Be Some Confusion
in the "lsIand Empire"

Many curious acts Of parliament
still remain on the statute book, re-
marks the London Daily Mail. Every
little while these appear in the courts,
but as the British judges decide cases
more by the public interest than by
the law they cause very little trouble.
Three acts have been quoted this
week. One referred to an act of
George H., which allowed the land
lord to charge tenant he wished
to leave his premises double rent
The plaintiff claimed, but lost his
case.
Another was claim by the admir-
atty for freight on bullion carried
from South Africa on a warship. This
claim was decided in favor of the
bankers, who got their freight free
owing to an act that was passed in
1919 for the purpose of stopping the
abuse Of the privilege Of conveying
bullion in kings ships by the COM
mercial community.
An act that is still enforced is one
of James l., dated 1924, q Scottish
statute. It reads:
If any mine Of gold or silver be
found in any lords lands Of the realm
and it may be proved that three half
pennies Of silver may be fined out of
the pound Of lead, the lords of par
lament consent that such mine may
be the kings, as Is usual of other
realms"
