Gone is the ancient town Of Port

zenith century-the metropolis" of
Charles in the days of auld lang syne.
The pioneers who sailed up the Po-
somac founded it on an estuary Of
the noble river, and its fame as a
shipping point for the colonists once
extended across the Atlantic. Three
or four decades ago the last "court-
house fight" in Maryland centered
around Port Tobacco. Its water trans
portation dwindled. and the building
of the Pope's Creek railroad line from
Bowie to the Potomac gave the
Charles countians a Lew outlook.
Many of them picked La Plata station
for a county seat, owing to its CEN
trail location and daily trains. The
old courthouse at Port Tobacco was
burned down and the voters declared
for the building of new one at La

Mean Trick on King Eumenes

When Hannibal was about to be at

if any attempt were made by him to

When the battle began Hannibars

to hurl great earthenware pots into

were filled with poisonous snakes OF

FRUGALlTY DEcREED BY LAW
Early French Monarch Must Have
Been Unpopular with the Fair
Sex in His Dominlons.

In the reign of Philip the Fair Of
France (1294) an economy wave
spread throughout the country. This
movement was largely influenced by
the extravaganza of the higherups as
well as the mounting costs of living,
which seemed to embarrass the poor
folk in those days as much as 1t does
at the present time.
In order to curb this extravaganza
a statute was passed during Philips
reign which prohibited common citi-
zens from wearing furs, precious stones
o. gold. This privilege was bestowed
only upon those who could afford 1t,
such as dukes, counts and barons,
whose annual income amounted 10
5000 livres a year. At the same time.
ladies of this rank were restricted to
one single gown each year.
Knights whose incomes exceeded
5000 livres per annum were permit
ted to have more than two suits each
year either by gift or purchase. If
his income was less than this he would
be compelled TO appear before the
magistrate and explain his extrava-
gance.

nnuel sentence pronounced to-day by
prohibition Commissioner Kramer
Although an opinion given by Attor-
ney General Palmer last December said
the wholesalers had no legal right to
continue in business, internal revenue
and prohibition officials decided to
grant some time in which they could
unload stocks without too heavy none
tary loss. But Mr.. Kramer's announce
iment to-day made it clear there would
be no further extension of time and
that execution Of the sentence would
be carried out.
Mr.. Kramer, however, opened the
way for the retail druggist to obtain
supplies for prescriptions, removing
Inc ban on withdrawals from bonded
warehouses. For several months such
warehouse doors have been closed. The
order to-day makes it possible for the
retail druggist to transact business
direct with the bonded warehouses.
wholesale druggists will be taken care
of later, Mr.. Kramer indicated, by
granting them similar privileges.
Dealings between retail druggists
and other purchasers and the bonded
warehouses later will be limited by
regulations which, officials declared,
would be drastic enough to satisfy the
most ardent dry advocate. They must
be based, however, it was added. on
Mr.. Palmer's opinion. 1t is planned to
put them in effect about the time the
wholesale houses go out Of existence.
So far as the wholesaler is con-
cerned, Mr.. Kramer said, his one task
now. is to get rid of the stocks on
hand. He will not be allowed to in
crease his present holdings, but there
are no strings tied to him in selling
to druggists, either wholesale or re-
tail, before May Is. Officials an
nounced no figures concerning the
amount of liquor held by the whole
stocks largely would be disposed Of
before the doors are closed finally.

"The law has fixed one channel throroh
which beer may be obtained for medi-

speaking of his ruling on beer, recently

says plainly brewers may manufacture,
wholesale druggists only may sell at

registered pharmacists on physicians

There was never any legal knot to

interested in it so long to ferret out
this advantage ! do not understand"
Prohibition ofncials declined to COM
