Page 2 “GIVE YOURSELF XMAS PRESENT” SAYS DR. FULTON l Recommends Complete Physical Ex amination As Most Important Gift To Everyone. Arc you going to give yourself a Christmas or New Year s gift? If you have any doubts as to what it shall be, Ur. John S. Fulton, Director of the; State Department of Health recoin-; mends that you solve the problem by giving yourself the benefit of a j complete physical examination by I your family doctor. “Be at least as considerate of! yourself,” he said, “as you are of your i automobile. You know that your car; will wear out and go to pieces if you don’t take proper care of it. Conse quently, you keep your eyes open for signs of a break or even of weakness in any part of it. But we are inclined to treat the human machine as tho’ it would run on forever without any 1 special care or attention. “If the vital organs of your auto mobile wear out, you can replace them by new parts from the factory. Re placements are not possible in the hu man machine, but you can keep the machine in good shape and geared up for efficient sen-ice by submitting it for a thorough inspection at regular intervals to your family physician. “Each of us has a certain amount of physical capital. If we give it intel ligent care, it should yield us satis factory returns in the way of health. If we draw upon it too heavily, we become physical bankrupts. A timely auditing of our resources at regular intervals, may reveal unsuspected weakness, and will show us where we reed to consen-e our energies. “Health examinations of babies and young children, at regular intervals are arranged for now, as a matter of course, because every up-to-date young mother knows that is is easier to keep' a baby well while it is well. The boys and girls of school age are form ing the habit, too, of regular examina tions by the family doctor or dentist, j through the medical inspection which 1 is now a matter of routine in the schools. It is only some of tho grown ups who have not waked up to the fact that a careful examination may prove to be the ounce of prevention that will save them the pound of cure. “Here are the periods at which physical examinations of persons who ( are to all appearances well, and in good health should be made regu larly : Birth to 6 months—once a month. | 6 months to one year—every two j months. 1 year to 6 years four times a J year. 6 years to 12 years—twice a year, j After 12 years—once a year.

State* And Peninsula News ' An unusual ercord was made in the j ferry freight service between Cape Charles and Port Norfolk on Decem ber sth when Barge No. 9, in tow of Tug “Pocomoke,” left Cape Charles ;al 6.55 A. M., made the trip to Port | Norfolk and was back at Cape I Charles again at 2.40 P. M., or a I total time of seven hours and forty- Ifive minutes for the round trip. When it is understood that two j round trips in twenty-four hours is ; the usual time allowance in this ser vice, Captain Harry S. Ball of the Tug “Pocomoke,” and Capt. Thomas j B. Atherton, of Barge No. 9, as well jas the crews, attracted attention for this fine performance. j r j The potato house owned by VVood- I land C. Phillips on tho Laurel road i about four miles from Sharptown was destroyed by fire early last week en tailing a heavy loss to Mr. Phillips and his neighbors who had stored po tatoes in the house for winter’s use and market. Mr. Phillips had a small insurance on the house but the pota toes were not insured. This is the third potato house destroyed by fire , in a radius of a few miles recently, that of Harvey Truitt, just above Galestown, N. VV. Owens in Sharp town, now Mr Phillips. The regular weekly luncheon of the Cape Charles Rotary Club was held on the steamer “Maryland” Tuesday ai 12.30 o’clock instead of Friday of last week, to receive the District Gov ernor on his annual official visit to the club. After the luncheon Dr. Charlie Smith delivered the finest ad dress that has been heard in Cape Charles in many years, and one which will be remembered for a long while. After discussing “Rotary” in general ( he left a challenge with the Club, but taking as his theme, “World Wide Ro-' tary” as a real medium for world peace. At 1.30 the District Governor met the Club in the Directors’ room of the Farmers & Merchants Trust Bank, for the routine business ses-1 i sion. Leonard B. Johnson, of Melfa, Va., j takes the prize for killing the largest! ! rabbit this season. While out gun-! jning with Lester Thomas Friday of Hast week, he and Mr. Thomas killed 0 nice ones. The largest one, which was shot by Mr. Johnson weighed 5Va pounds. As an answer to the proposed new freight line from Baltimore to Easton, General Freight and Passenger Agent R. Harry Soulsby, of the B. C. & A. will come to Easton on January 13th Ito address the Rotary Club on the i question of freight service between j Baltimore and Talbot county. Mr. Soulsby, said he was of the j opinion that Easton was getting a jvery satisfactory service at this time I and he could see no reason why Eas ton business should require any other. .The full service and how it operates twill be told by Mr. Soulsby, and at the same time he will welcome any sug gestions that may be offered to him. He says the freight service now is 'equal to or better than any Easton , has ever enjoyed and that in his I judgment it could not be more advan , tageous to Easton and the country generally. 1“ ■ The announcement made last week jof the new Claiborne-Annapolis Fer jry steamer now in contemplation,- I was received with much commenda tion by the large ferry patronage. Since the publication of the item the I Ferry officials have been to Wilming -1 ton and have practically approved the plans drawn for the new boat, and another trip shortly will be made | to give final approval. ( ExGovernor Harrington, president of the Company, says that “within two years we hope to have two such steamers on the route, both double end boats with speed that will make the trip in an hour and ten minutes.” This means that the company is con templating on another boat which \ certainly will take care of all possible i traffic offered the line. The first of the two boats may be on the route next year, this depending or. how soon the plans and arrange ments can be made. A meeting will |be held at Claiborne in the near fu ture when prominent men from all i parts of the shore will attend and will i hear about the plans to greatly devel op the Ferry business.

I INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC—PauI, the Missionary. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—PauI the Christian. ; The lessons of the Quarter Rather about Paul. Tne review therefore wlli , have to do with his character, service and teachings. A good method of re- . view is to study the salient points j 1 with tile leading teachings of each lesson. The following suggestions are offered: October 4. Paul took advantage of the oppor- ! ! tunity to preach the gospel to the . Jews in the synagogue at Athens, and \ to such of the Gentiles and Jews as i were found in the market-place, call , lng upon all to repeut because of God’s appointed uay of Judgment by .Tesus Christ. October 11. Though compelled to work for a liv ing while getting a foothold in Corinth, Paul zealously preached the gospel even In the face of violent opposition. In this time of his great need God en couraged him by giving him a vision. God always conies to the help of Ills servants in their greatest need. October 18. The Spirit’s best gift is love. It Is I best because of its essential qualities and also because every believer can have and exercise it. October 25. Paul with dauntless courage preached the gospel at Ephesus, and here his preaching resulted in a glorious awak ening. Where the gospel Is preached In the power of the Holy Spirit men will believe in Christ and turn from j their wicked ways, even giving up wrong kinds of business. November 1. The Christian has a strong enemy to fight, a personal being called the devil. He must meet him in offensive and defensive warfare. His strength and armor are from the Lord. The way to get strength to wage the con- I flict Is by prayer to God. November 8. i Faul with undaunted courage pressed , on toward Jerusalem, knowing that bonds and affliction awaited him. As he took leave of the Ephesian elders j he warned them of the false teachers who would arise among them, and as sured them that lie had declared the ■ whole counsel of God. November 15. ■ i Despite Paul’s eagerness to concili ate the people in Jerusalem, he was arrested. Because of his passion to preach the gospel, lie witnessed to the angry mob which was striving to kill him. | November 22. Though falsely accused and ar raigned before the wicked governor, Paul with becoming dignity und ' courtesy defended himself in such a I way as to win the favor of Felix. November 29. Paul defended himself before Agrip pa and so wisely and confidently used the Scriptures as to almost persuade Agrippa to become a Christian. December 6. ’ Paul's behavior on the voyage and during the shipwreck displayed his . sublime faith in God as well as his remarkable bravery and common sense. December 13. Upon Paul’s arrival In Rome he was greatly heartened by the reception given him by the brethren who came to meet him. Paul was Intensely hu man. He, like his Lord, craved human ' fellowship. December 20. If the summary of Paul’s life was i the lesson used on this Sunday, the review should be the vision of the veteran soldier of the cross, near the close of his life, declaring, “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: there Is therefore laid up for tne a crown of righteousness which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to me at that day." If 'the Christmas lesson was used for this day, the method of review should be to picture the wise men seeking Jesus, Herod seeking to kill ! Him, and the finding of Jesus in Beth lehem. Our Thanks Our thanks should be as fervent for mercies received as our petitions for I mercies sought. Must Enjoy Work No one who does not enjoy work can truly enjoy anything else.—Ray mond.
