BORAH AND HIS PARTY

Quite recently we expressed an
opinion as to the significance of
the late primaries in several Re
publican states, in which the pro-
gressiyc elements OF the party de
teatcd the reactionarieS. Now
comes Senator Borah and declares
that there is a political revolution
going on right now in this coun-
Try, He assailS his Party's legis-
lative program and is evidently in
thorough accord with the rebuke
administered to it at the polls. We
have high respect for Senator Bo-
rah's intellect and especially for
his fearless attitude on all ques-
tons that arise in the Senate. In
many things, to our mind, he Is
often in error. But in this IN
stance he is undoubtedly correct.

CURED BY A NATIVE HERB

On board a vessel bound for India
recently man was bitten by a
poisonous reptile; both the ship doc
tor and a famous surgeon failed to
control the poison fast spreading
through his system.
In a day the vessel rachel port.
An Indian medicine man was sent
for, who produced a native herb
which quickly allayed the poison and
the mans life was saved.
Roots and herbs are natures as
sistants in combating disease. That
well-known medicine for ailments
peculiar to women, Lydia +. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, Is pre-
pared from roots and herbs, posses
sing medicinal properties of great
value in the treatment of such all
ments.
This is proved by the letters Of
recommendation we are continually
publishing in this paper for it.

should be asphalted their entire
length, and thus relieve the pres

Is so paved. Some day the resi-
dences along the two streets
named will be converted into bus
mess blocks, and Alexandria will
have a sure-enough 'dowll town.
Some day, too, an enterprisirlg

ing of Prince and Cameron streets,
as suggested. Another instance
on all TOURS with King Street, is
Washington Street, which is per
haps the main residence street OF

wise be paved with asphalt TO their

The crying need Of Alexandria
right now, is a series OF dwelling
blocks, with modest rentals, and
yet built on modern lines, attrae-

design, and with all the uP-to-datc

OF the housewife. We know OF
dozens of instances today where
families are living in Washington
because they cannot find modern
houses suitable to modest incomes.

The usual holiday crowds were augmented by
muttudes who rushed outofdoors to enjoy the charm
ing weather Every countryside was crowded The
commons" the greens" and tho parks were jammed
with pcnckers BY cart, by bicycle by motor car, by
truck by boat by train and by bus the eager throngs
piled out Of the crowded city.
The instinct for fresh air is the saving feature Of
the city mind The this mood is indulged the bet

not be easy. however. to change the

sufncient bathing. loafing indoors
these are fundamental defects
But not all our shortcomings are OF
the indoor variety.
On the Bank Holiday" I have men

good. wholesome English lunches they
carried with them were to be praised.
But tho stun those happy folks bought.
Questionable ice cream. doubtful candy.

and other truck-stomachs were crowded
with things sure to cause acute In
digestion and intestinal disturbance, II
not more serious troubles.
In numerous Instances I saw a single
drinking glass passed around a group OF
persons. 1t seemed a common practice
70 drink from tho same glass till It's
contents were exhausted. and to refill IL
frequently to save the trouble OF having
individual glasses. Needless to say, in
feetions OF various sorts can be con-
veyed in this way.
I wish I knew Just how many Of tire
holiday celebrants suffered Illness as a
result OF the days mistakes and ex-
cesseS.
Let Us have holidays and celebrate
them TO tho limit. but let US teach our
children the Importance Of Temperance
and sanitation. The observance Of a
few simple rules will make every day
in the open air a positive factor in pro-
longing life.
