“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.

' 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 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.

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.

; 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
