highly cecommended by people who have
used it for yea)> and know its value.

its weight in gold and I take pleasure in
recommending it.” For sale by al

Maryland Week-Baltimore
November 17til to 21 st.
Great Display Expected At
Fifth Regiment Armory.
Plans are under way to make Maryland
Week this year a record breaker in point
of attendance from the counties of M ary
land Among other things, in addition
to unusual excellence of exhibits, rail
roads have been asked to establish excur
sion rates for the week, and merchants
of Baltimore will be invited to conduct
one big bargain day in all stores for the
benefit of county visitors. There will be
entertainment, of course, and a general
appeal will be issued to all residents of
Baltin - ore to seize the opportunity to in
vite their country relatives and friends
who otherwise might not attend, for
house parties.
Every energy will be directed toward
the county attendance. The press of the
State generally will be asked to promote
local organization along this line, and the
managers of the event look forward to a
huge movement toward the common cen
ter, from every town and village and
from every farm section of the State.
The Maryland Week exhibition will be
held at the Filth Regiment Armory on
November 17—21. It will be, as last
year, under of the Maryland
Slate Horticultural Society, and affiliat
ed with this organization will he the Ma
ryland Cron Improvement Association,
State Dairymen’s Association and State
Beekeepers’ Association. In the order
named, these associations will hold their
annual meetings on Wednesday, Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday, with three
sessions daily, in the armory gymnasium.
The formal opening on Tuesday right will
he with an appropriate program in which
national government, Slate, city and va
ii>u> rural interests will be represented
Secretary T. B. Symons of the Horti
cultural Society has just returned from
a trip through Western Maryland, and
finds that there, as in other parts of the
| Slate, growers are saving a nice lot of
fruit for the exhibition, putting it in cold
storage to he ready for the event. Tne
premiums this y. ar, a list of which can
be obtained by addressing the Secretary
or either organization at College Park,
are larger and more numerous than ever,
and competition will be splendid, follow
ing the fine success of last year.
Grangers and Fanners’ Clubs desiring
to enter the Club Exhibit Contest, will
notify the secretary at once so that space
can be reserved.
The prizes for club exhibits have like
wise been increased, and in addition,
prizes are offered for all exhibits in each
club exhibit; so that such an exhibit can
be made by any organization with prac
tically no cost.
Last year the Maryland Week Essay
Contest proved such u winner that it will
be one of the leading county attractions
again in November. There will be two
contests one for hoys and one for girls
and any boy or girl attending school
any where in Maryland is eligible. School
teachers throughout the Stale are invit
ed to encourage all their scholars to en
ter, and the plan has the hearty approval
of school authorities, who realize the
value of such mental training for stu
dents. The prizes will he J2O in gold for
the boy and girl winning in the State
wide Contest and a medal for the winner
in each County. The officials reserve
the right to publish the prize winners
under the names of the authors.
This year’s subject for boys will be
“Why the Maryland Farmer’s Boy
Should Remain on the Farm.” For the
girls the subject will he “How Social
Conditions in Rural Life in Maryland
Can be Bettered by the Daughters of
Maryland Farmers.” All essays must
be of not less than 1,000 and not more
than 2,000 words written on one side of
paper approximately Bxll inches in di
mensions, and must be in the hands of
Secretary T. B. Symons, College Park,
Md., not later than 6 o’clock p. m., Mon
day, Nov. 9. Dr. M. Bates Stephens,
State Superintendent of Education and
Prof. C. S. Richardson, of the Dept, of
English, Md. Agricultural College, and a
judge to be appointed by the Governor
will award the prizes.
A floor plan has been prepared for the
exhibition that will show the resources
of Maryland as they never have been
shown before. In the center, surround
ed by stately columns, will he a huge
floral exhibit designed by the most origi
nal minds in Maryland’s floriculture, and
for this exhibit prize flowers of all kinds
are being carefully brought to perfection
by expert treatment. Flanking the flor
al exhibits and backing up to the rear of
the immense hall will be the fruits, farm
products and products of the Maryland
apiary, in arrangement orderly and
graded, in quantity profuse to the point
of extravagance. Nothing that grows in
our State will be lacking.
In one corner of the hall, the Armory
officials having granted extraordinary
permission for the purpose, the State
Dairymen will have a “stable” of half a
dozen fine cows, which will be fed, cared
for, and milked for the purpose of show
ing results of scientific care both in food
value and purity of the milk supply.
The cows will be placed on false floor
of zinc, bedded with sawdust, and the
dairymen have undertaken to prove to
the Armory Commission and all who are
interested that stabling can be made as
cleanly for an indoor exhibit as in the
highest class dairies. The cows will bo
milked morning and evening, by me
chanical means, the whole process being
exposed to view.
Local granges, societies of various sorts
or groups of individuals intending to be
present at “Maryland Week” are re
quested to notify Secretary Symons at
College Park, so that proper announce
ment may be made and any necessary
arrangements carried forward for their
entertainment. Towns and sections send
ing enough representatives may secure
special car or train, by application thro
the secretary to the railroad interested.

Result Of Registration.
The result of the general registration
of voters in Mechanicstown District last
week is as follows;
Precinct No. I.—Republicans, 212;
Democrats, 56; and 14 making no decla
ration of their political affiliation.
Precinct No. 2—Republicans, 194;
Democrats, 122; and it declining to state
which party they preferred. Total regis
tered in the two precincts, HO7.
Last year the books showed that (154
names were registered. Both political
parties worked hard to get all names on
the books, but the task was a very diffi
cult one.
Throughout the county it is thought
the registered vote will be about 15 0
behind that of last year.
It was found that the Republicans ran
slightly ahead of the Democrats in the
county.

TUBERCULOSIS DAY DURING THE
WEEK OF NOVEMBER 29TH.
By sermons, lectures, motion pic
tures, exhibits, and many other me
thods, The National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tubercu
losis will enlist thousands of churches,
schools and lodges of the country in
a simultaneous educational movement
against tuberculosis during the week
of November 29th. The campaign
is to le known as the Fifth Annual
Tuberculosis Day Movement.
A special circular entitled “What
is Tuberculosis Day” has been pre
pared and is being widely distributed.
The plan of Tuberculosis Day, as ex
plained in the circular, does not nec
essarily comprehend a special sermon
on tuberculosis on November 29tb.
If a church, school or lodge gives tlie
subject attention in any way during j
that week, this will help in the
national educational movement.
Outlines for lectures or sermons on i
tuberculosis and “stock” bilks on j
this subject will be furnished free to
ministers and others who can use j
them. Literature for distribution in i
the churches, schools, lodges, and j
elsewhere will also be given away in ;
large quantities. Persons wishing j
such literature, either for the prepara-1
tion of sermons or talks on tuhereu- j
losis, or for distribution in public i
meetings on Tuberculosis Day, should
get in touch with their local anti
tuberculosis society, or if that is not
possible, with The National Associa
tion for the Study and Prevention of
Tuberculosis, 105 East 22d Street,
New York City.
Promise Biff Yield.
Owing to the failure of the early po
tato crop, many persons planted a second
time, or rather, a patch of the late vari
ety of potatoes. The indications are
that there will be a big crop -providing
frost does not come too quickly.
Lewis In Thiirnioiit.
Congressman D. J, Lewis, on his tour
ing trip through the county, stopped in
Thurmont last Saturday evening long
enough to visit many of his Democratic
friends residing here. He then went to
Emmitsburg. In the evening he spoke
to a large gathering at Yellow Springs.
Why Not Publish It?
When you want a fact to become gen
erally known, the right way is to publish
it. Mrs. Joseph Kalians, Peru, Ind.,
was troubled with belching, sour stom
ach and frequent headaches. She writes,
“I feel it my duty to tell others what
Chamberlain’s Tablets have done for me.
They have helped my digestion and regu
lated my bowels. Since using them I
have been entirely well.” For sale by
i all dealers.
