anniversary of three years ago. and it is to and
those Commissions christian Sanitary which
have saved so many lives and SO much anguish
The home of our PRESIDENTS, the mind and
heart of the body of these United States, once
lay within the borders of Maryland. To pre-
serve that precious spot intact, strong wall has
been builded within and around her Of living
hearts and sturdy arms. This wall, which is
the Army of the Union, has power behind it,
which every soldier feels and sees. 1t is the
power of sell-sa, r.fce, hard work, and energetic
perseverance which the women have shown, and
which has helped sustain and cheer those who
are wounded in battle. Never was there any
thing like it, and it has given glory to this al
rendy great nation. We ask you to add to this
glory by still greater sacrifices, which will make
this undertaking perfect success. See every
friend and neghbor whom you lave-broadcast
the need of these articles, give us ALL your help
and let your presence ut the time OF the Fair
lend a greater weight to the offering that you

r0rt Deposit, 10 the women of
Cecil county.

Tie women of our State are, for the
first tine, called to act uni eddy. Great
exgencies demand uncommon Efforts
The existence of civil war in our coun-
try, with its dcsolating and bloody hor.
rors, calls on its women to rouse them
selves to do what they can to minister
to suffering humanity by amciiorlating the
condition of the sick and wounded SOL
ders. For this objec5 the women of
Cecil are now called upon to aid by
their uni ed efforts, in raising fund for
the two Commissions which have already
done so much for the great cause.
1t is recommended that meetings be
held in each town or district Of The
county, and measures taken o bring in
to ac i've operation tile means and in
dus ry of he nlen aud women, towards
furnishing articles for the Fair, which Is
to be held in Baltimore dnrlng the week
commencing April 18th. 1t is de-
signed that each county shall have )
own tables, presided over by lis own
Committees.
Many may hesitate at hrst imagining
that they have no time to attend meet
ings, that their domestic duties demand
all their attention, and that, moreover
they have nothing to spare in these
g hard times" But we are now callec
to make personal sacrifices, as we never
before, haue been. The help of wouIel
is n, eded in the dark hour of on
Country's trial. Let US resolve to max,
sacrifices, to meet the demands upon us
so far from fearing to seem economical
let us be ashamed of extravngant ex
pen1iure for ourselves and our families
Thus may our national ealamities prov
a blessing to the women of our country
by developing, in them, greater energies
and nobler aspirations.
All con ributions for the Port Deposi
Sta Fair Association should be sent {
Mrs. P Hopkins, Treasurer all good.

niunlcations on the subject of the Fai
should be addressed to

Ice FOX DlrTpEElA.-A correspondent
of the Providence journal vouches for the
efficacy of ice as cure for dipthera, croup
and all ordinary inflammation of the thu oa,
The manner of application is as follows:
" Break up small lump of ice in ii towel
and put the pieces in bowl Take posi-
ton slightly inclined backwards either in
a chair or on sofa. Proceed to feed YOUR
self with small Jumps of ice letting them
dissolve slowly in the back part of the
throat. A single application will often
break up common sore throat, which 9th
erwise would have course of TWO or three
days. In case of bad sore throat, use the
ice frequently and freely. In case of ulcer
a'ion or drrtheria, keep n small lump Of ice
constantly i'll the mouth"
