His splendid Revolution- ary record is to be found in many sources. Maj. Stoddert’s remains repose at Addison’s Chapel, near the District Line, at Chesapeaks Junction. “The rolls of two companies which marched from lower Frederick early in the war have been lost. These men were also drawn from within or near the District, the same as were the men recorded in the three companies already identified. Many of the officers are known and are included in these notes. If the lost companies averaged 60, which seems probable, then the grand total of men going out from the District of Columbia area amounts to 297. The information found makes it sure that between 250 and 300 active patriotic men were to be found within the terri- tory under consideration. Number of Saflors Unknown. “It is known that several sailors | shipped from Georgetown and others from Bladensburg, in nearby Maryland, |as both were then ports of entry. The actual number of.such sailors is un- {known. The sailor enlistments in the Revolutionary Navy, though large in numbers, have not been so well pre- served, unfortunately, as the land forces. “In my historical paper I list the names of 41 patriots whose bodies are maturing with the soil of the District of Columbia. There are probably sev- eral more. The ashes of these men are resting in the cemeteries at Oak Hill, Arfinson. Congressional, Rock Creek and Mount Olivet. Several are in un- located graves. At least six coffins of patriots are in obliterated graves in the old Presbyterian Cemetery in George- town, now the Georgetown municipal D]l!lg:unt . District of Columbia was a bat- tlefleld during the War of 1812, and was literally surrounded with strife period from 1861 to 1864. The District of Columbia was never a battlefleld of the American Revolution, yet no apot in America is more hallowed with its memories. Many of the great chieftains of the War of Independence, both civil and military, were spared to reside here in the early days of the Capital and helped to perfect the for- mation of this Republic. “To pass 10 more recent history, my auditors will recall that Francis Scott Key, the author of our national hymn, ‘The Star Spangled Banner,’ resided in & house that was removed In order to make way for the District of Columbia approach to the Key Bridge over the Potomac.” N Manila, P.

Continuing with her statement, she said: “Yes, this medicine was truly a Godsend to us, and I can hardly find words to express our thanks. For the past two years my daughter was in a terrible condition and every- thing we tried or did for her met with failure. We were told that her trouble was all brought on by chronic constipation, also stomach trouble. She could not eat a thing without getting deathly sick—even the smell of food made her sick. For over a year she was on a diet of raw vege- tables, but she was getting worse all the time; even medicine made her sick. Only a few weeks ago she said she just knew there was nothing that ‘would help her, and I thought myself that it was a hopeless case. Miller’s Herb Extract was praised so highly that I bought one bottle and started her on it. At first she could hardly keep even this on the stomach, but after a few days her stomach began to feel easier and she did not com- plain having those sick spells of pains in the pit of the stomach. The bowels began to move regularly and as the poison was carried out of her system we could see her improve every day, and now, thanks to this Herb Extract, she is once more in perfect health. For the first time in years she eats breakfast and it is a blessing to see her once more able to enjoy herself like the rest of us. I could say a_lot more about this medicine. 80 if any one cares to write or call on me I will give them facts that will be surprising.” It is quick results every sufferer wants, and Herb Extract brings || = results overnight, as thousands of statements, similar to the above, from grateful users indicate. The remarkable preparation contains herbs, leaves and bark that promote gastric juices that is necessary to regular howel action and insures good health. Hundreds are calling daily to see the special representative direct from the Herb Juice Medicine Co., who has established headquarters at The Peoples Drug Store, 505 7th Street N.W., to learn more of this great medicine that is bringing health and happiness to so many Washington citizens. i o 3% y et hetti and Tomate ...._...___._.._.._.._ s AR »»a) (1 Lawn Mower A Big Hamper Full of Pure Food Items == OB Value $12.00 Seventh & D Sts.
