A LONELY GRAVE

We wish to commend the sug-
gestion made at the Mullins Re.
union that the grave of John Null
Inns, early county settler and Re-
evolutionary War soldier, be mark
ed and cared for. So far as the
records disclose, according to Sen,
ator Chase, the grave of John
Mullins guards the remains of the
only Revolutionary War soldier
to be buried in Dickinson County.
John Mullins still has a place
in the life of Dickinson county to
day. The offsprings of his many
children and grandchildren hold
honorable positions and are doing
their part in helping to make this
section of the state and other
parts of the United States better
communities. The Mullins gener>
alton and other interested citizens
should join in this worthy move
ment.

her marrying you. I've thought it over

too. More than ninety thousand
of these oases exist in the United
States today and many a man can
trace the start of his business career
back to the fizzing fountains.
But in 1917 when Elias Durand was
seeking work in America there were
no such marble marvels. Soda water as
a beverage was unknown.
Ellie Magloire Durand was an exile
in America. He had been pharmacist
in Napoleon's army and had sought
work in New York, Boston and finally
Baltimore but Philadelphia was his
goal. At the time it was Americas
biggest city and chief drug center.
A brother of Napoleon - Joseph
Bonaparte - had settled near by.
Other French exiles were there. Here
Durand decided to establish himself.
Before he entered Napoleon's army
he had served as an apprentice 10
NJ. Chevalier of Mayenne, man OF

working for Chevalier, Durand had
devised an apparatus for making this
soda water.
During his first months in Philadel-
phia he worked at whatever he found;
in chemists shops, laboratories. While
manufacturing mercurial salts his
health became impaired and he was
forced to go to Baltimore to the home

Years earlier 1867 English
clergyman, Joseph Priestly, who had
charged water with carbonic-acid gas
from brewery vats in Leeds, England.
had visited Philadelphia and interested
DR.. Philip Syng Physick in trying to
commercialize carbonated water. A
firm in Charleston had received a
United States patent, in 1910, for
saturating water with fixed" air. But
Durand was the first to put the prod
uct over"
At the time Durand was preparing
to open his business, Lafayette was
making triumphal tour of America.
Before embarking for France, Lafayette
stopped in Philadelphia to visit two old
and honored friends, Joseph Bonaparte
and Elias Durand - and sampled
Americas soda water.
Durand's drugstore fast became the
gathering place for physicians and
scientists. Durand's erudition, his
social grace - and the magic fountain
where sparkling water fixed from a
faucet - drew increasing patronage.
Durand also found time for another
interest - botany. And today. in the
Museum of the Jardin des Plantes of
Paris, the Durand Herbarium, lOO, 900
specimens of American flowers and
plants. bears witness Of their donors
scientific career. Another IL 900 speci-
mems of American fora donated by
Durand in 1858 form the nucleus of
the present herbarium of Philadelphia
College of Pharmacy. A portrait of
him hangs in the library of the college.
1t reveals a man with strength and
character in every line of his face.
Now more than thirty thousand
American drugstores are equipped
with soda fountains; confectionery
shops, clubs, bowling alleys and sub
way stations have forty thousand
more: ten thousand are installed in
chain and variety stores; five thousand
in department stores; five thousand in
hotels and restaurants.
Both fountain and product have
improved since Durand's time. New,
names, favors, colors, ice cream and
fruits have appeared. But it's the same
old "sody water"
