GOOD REPUTATION. j
No one has a better reputation in his
line than Uncle Sam. In drugs we
have endeavored to build up a reputa
tion for the careful compounding of
prescriptions and the dispensing of
absolutely pure articles. It has taken
years of study and labor, but drugs are
dangerous when carelessly handled,
and care is the only safeguard.

The Largest Flag.
The largest flag in the world is to be
exhibited under the auspices of the
Daughters of the American Revolu
tion. It was made during the Spanish-
American war by Miss Josephine Mul
ford, N. J, There are :$25,000 stitches
in the flag, one for each soldier and
sailor engaged in the war. The flag is
100 feet long and 65 feet wide, and the
blue ground measures 35x40 feet. The
stripes are 5 feet wide and each star is
2'J feet in diameter. There is also a
sentimental interest connected with
several of the stars of the flag, as they
were made at places in the various
States which are associated with the
great events of American history.
Thus, the Philadelphia star was
partly made in the house of Betsey
Ross, in the room in which she made
the first American flag. Then it was
worked upon at Carpenter's Hall, in
the room where the first Continental
Congress assembled, and partly while
sitting in Hancock's chair in Inde
pendence Hall. The New Jersey star
was made at Washington's headquar
ters at Norristown; the Maryland star
j was made at Fort McHenry, in honor
■ of Francis Scott Key; the Virginia star
! was made in the Lafayette room in
: Washington's Mount Vernon home;
I the New York star was partly made at
: Faunces' tavern, where Washington
j bade farewell to his officers, and it was
I finished on board the flagship "New
! York." Each of the forty-five starw is
CAtaEkON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 5» *899•
embroidered with the name of the State
it represents and the date of admission
into the Union. They are all arranged
in chronological order. According to
the Mew York Times, the flag is to be
presented to the nation on the first
anniversary of the signing of the
recent Treaty of Peace.—Scientific
American.
The latest form of swindle is a clever
one and a Pennsylvania farmer was a
few days ago made a victim to a trio of
swindlers. A well dressed stranger
having the appearance of a clergyman
called upon the conntryman and
shortly afterwards an eloping couple
came along in search of clergyman to
marry them. The visitor officiated, i
the farmer signed the certificate which I
later turned up to be a promisory note j
which he will have to pay.—Ex.
An exchange says spare the crows
and blackbirds; they render the farmer
valuable service in destroying noxious
insects. They are justly entitled to ]
the little grain they eat, and many !
times over, for his labor. One-tenth !
of all cropß raised by farmers and fruit j
growers are lost by the ravages of in
sects and the way to stop this great
loss isjsimply to protect the birds; they
will do the rest. The farmer that
allows shooting or trapping on his
farm allows the hunter to destroy just
so much of his next year's crop.
A Narrow Escape.
Thankful words written by Mrs. Ada
E. Hart, of Froton, 8. D. "Was taken
