To Be Prepared.

For war is the suiest way for this ma
ton to maintain peace. That is the
opinion of the wisest statesmen. II is
equally true thatto be prepared for spring
is the best way to avoid the peculiar dam
gers Of the season. This is a lesson
multitudes are learning, and at this time.
when the blood is sure to be loaded with
impurities and to be weak and sluggish.
the millions begin to take Hoods Sar-
sarparilla. which purifies, enriches and
vitalizes the blood, expels all disease
germs, creates good appetite, gives
strength and energy and puts the whole
system in healthy condition, preventing
pneumonia fevers, and other dangerous
diseases which are liable to attack weak

COLONIAL RECORDS.
To Preserve Documents of Eearly
Maryland History.

Maryland has suffered severely in the
past from the loss Of valuable colonial
records in the State House cellars, where
many of them had been carlessly dump
ed, and from destruction by fire in va
rious county courthouses. Recently
there has been revival Of interest in
Maryland history and many precious
documents have been rescued and pre-
served, mainly by the efforts CT the
Maryland Historical Society. All the
wills made in Maryland during nearly
the whole of the colonial period, to-
gether with administrators and execu-
tors. accounts. etc., are in the Office of
the Register of Wills of Anne Arundel
county. The Legislature few years
ago decided to have these records. which,
in fact, contain family history and give
a perfect picture of life in Maryland
from the settlement almost to the Revo-
luton indexed. The work was begun
in a moet satisfactory manner. A card
index was made by Mrs. Baldwin. who
was employed for ..the purpose. A bill
has been prepared to continue and COM
plete this work and to remove the re-
cords into the Land Office. There are
also valuable provincial records belong
ing to the State in the courthouse OF
Prince Georges county. Provision is
also made in the bill for the removal oi
these records to the Land Office, which
is fireproof. and the counties are invited
to place old historic records in the custo-
dy OF the State for safekeeping. This is
a good measure and no effort TO preserve
our colonial records should be spared.

Rev. DR.. II. II. Barbour and the
church quartette will do the rest.
DR.. Barbour has already created
quite q reputation for himself by his
up-to-date methods OF managing n
church, but his latest idea is more
novelty. The church has been wired
by the new Citizens Telephone com
pany. and as soon us their lines are
in operation DIR. Barbour will cause
n big transnitter to be hung on the
front of the gallery, which will sup
ply as many private lines as nre con-
nected with it. DR.. Barbour eS.
planned that in this why the members
OF the church can stay at home and
hear all the service, including singing,
prayers and the sermon
The idea has caused u great deal OF
speculation as to changes in church
customs It will bring about. 1t will,
no doubt, cause n decrease in church
attendance, and 1t is the purpose OF
Dr. Barbour to fill up these vacated
pews with persons who nre not tele-
phone subscribers.
