A—10 S AR T0 OBSERVE | ATH ANNVERSARY Series of Events Starting April 19 Planned by District Society. Some interesting data concerning the movement that resulted in the forma- tion and early growth of the District of Columbia Socie ons of the American Revolution, revealed in the records of the society, which is arranging Wi celebrate its fortieth anniversary the | evening of April 19. In the early part of 1890 several Washingtonians of international repu- tation and who were descended from Revolutionary ancestors, decided to or- ganize for patriotic reasons. An or- ganizing committee was appointed of which Admiral David D. Porter, U. S. N., was chairman and Dr. F. O. St. Clair ecretary. The roster of members of t! commiftee contained such dis- tinguished names as those of Gen. W. S. Rosecrans, Dr. G. Brown Goode, Prof. Harry King, Alexander D. Anderson, Dr. J. M. Toner, Gen. Cecil Clay, Col.| Marshall McDonald, Gen. A. W. Greely | and Gen. Marcus J. Wright. Organized in 1890. Under the guidance of this commit- tee the District of Columbia Society, Sons of the American Revolution, was organized on April 19, 1890, the 115th anniversary of the battle of Lexington. In order to become members of the society each applicant was obliged to prove that “he is lenial descendant of an ancestor, who was at all times un- failing in his loyalty to and rendered actual service in the cause of American independence.” The preparation and examination of papers presented by applicants for ad- mission to the society consumed several weeks and it was not until June 16, 1890, that the first list of members was elect- ed. This list contained 102 names and was headed by David D. Porter, who was followed by J. L. Worden, M. C. Meigs, 8. P. Langley and John S8herman. During the remainder of the year 1890 the roll was increased to 188 and of this number 7 are still on the active mem- bership roll. Only three of the seven, however, || continue to have their residence in ‘Washington. Several Events Planned. In commemoration of the fortieth an- miversary of the organization of the soclety it is proposed this year to hold several events, beginning on the evenlng | of Saturday, April 19.

Mrs. Lottie Wilver, 50515 5th St. NE, says: “I always keep a bottle of Millers Herb Extract (formerly called Herb Juice) on hand. Every member of the fam- ily use it and we find that it is the one satisfactory remedy for both young and old. I was the first one to try it and it just about made a new woman out of me, as I was on the verge of & nervous breakdown. I would have sick, fainting spells, stomach was out of order, nothing I ate agreed with me. I was always taking a laxative of some kind, was under weight and hardly had enough strength to do my housework. I began using Millers Herb Extract last Summer and since then we have never been without a bottle in the house. My health is bet- ter now than in years, all signs of my former trouble is gone and I know that this medicine helped me when nothing else would. should hear m.\se .
