THE FACE IN ILLNESS.
To the Trained Eye 1t Quickly Shows
a Patients ConGitio

Patients Condition.
The face is a good index to the state
of ones physical being and from it
symptoms of disease can be detected
almost before the patient is aware that
anything serious is the matter with
him. For instance, incomplete closure
Of the eyelids, rendering the whites Of
the eyes visible during sleep, is Il
symptom in all acute and chronic dis
eases of a severe type. 1t is also to be
observed when rest is unsound from
pain wherever seated.
Twitching of the eyelids, associated
with the oscillation of the eyelids, or
squirting, heralds the visit of convul-
sions.
Widening of the orifices of the nose,
with movements of the nostrils to and
fro, points to embarrassed breathing
from disease of the lungs or their
plural investment.
Contraction of the brows indicates
pain in the head, sharpness of the nos
trils pain in the chest and a drawn
upper lip pain in the abdomen.
TO make a general rule, it may be
stated that the upper third of the face
Is altered in expression in affections of
the brain and the middle third in the
diseases of the organs contained in the
abdominal cavity.

THE RIDICULOUS ATTITUDE OF
THE BALTIMORE SIN

Roosevelt the Ranter IL constantly depict
Ing his man Taft as the greatest man In the
world; the only man In America ct to
succeed him as President; his exact coun.
terpart in all that is wise and good. TAFT
is out West shouting with what little voice
he has left In him that the only issue In this
campaign is whether Roosevelt shall be en-
dorsed and approved OF the election in No
vember; that failure TO elect him (Taft) will
be reputation of his guardian, Roosevelt
the Ranter.
The Baltimore Sun accepts Roosevelt's
estimate Of Taft, gives II hearty endorsement
and uses 1t as text for an editorial lauding
Taft to the skies and denounclng Roosevelt
In unmeasured terms. In other words, the
Sun repudiates Roosevelt as wholly unfit
for the position he occupies, accepts without
question his recommendation of Taft, in
which he depicts Taft as a man altogether
after his own heart, and then denounces
William ]. Bryan for his alleged similarity
to ROOSEVELT
This is the character OF all the ridiculous
stuff that is now appearing in the editorial
columns of the Baltimore Sun 10 the nature
OF political discussion. Is 1t any wonder
that tens Of thousands Of the former patrons
OF the Sun have resented Its insults to their
intelligence by refusing longer to read such
q paper2

ROLL OF HONOR.

& In another column Senator Blair Lee
publishes an appeal for contributions TO the
Democratic campaign fund as bonded
treasurer, duly appointed in accordance
with the Corrupt Practices Act. He ex-
plains that, under the law, a detailed account
will be placed of record, giving the names
of the contributors and the amount Of each
contribution as well as the items of expen-
diture. Thus there will be placed of record
in this State, this Fall, in the form OF the
REPORTS of the various treasurers, an accu'
rate index to the names OF those who lend
financial aid toward the betrayal of the
legitimate expenses of the campaign.
Senator Lee, In referring to this list Of
patriotic citizens, aptly speaks OF it as
"Roll Of Honor" 1t will, indeed. be roll
OF honor, for every cent so contributed will
be used In cause which stands for integ-
rity and honor In politics and in govern
ment. The Democratic party does not want
the money OF Hartman, or Rockefeller, or
Morgan, or other trust magnates, and will
not get 1t. But, If it is to win the battle for
the "rule OF the people" its campaign man
ayers must have liberal support from those
citizens who are able to contribute and pa
triotic enough to take part in the struggle.
The SENTINEL takes pleasure In urging
that every Democrat in this county who can
to promptly send in his subscription
Whether the subscription be for one dollar
or ave hundred dollars, it will entitle each
contributor to have has name placed on the
"Roll of Honor" which would not be too
large If 1t contained the name Of every Dem.
ocrat In Montgomery county. Donot wait.
Send in your name and gift and let us be
sure to see that Maryland shall be where
she belongs, on the Bird OF November, in the
Democratic column.

OAUsTyC CRITICISM.

Defending Senator Foraker, of Ohio, in
the Hearst oraker-T Taft. Roosevelt political
fight, Chancellor James Roscoe Day, of the
Syracuse University, in recent interview
referred TO Taft as the presidential ap-
pointee" and made the following criticism
of President Roosevelt:
Fortunately, the Examinations from the

udicing, unfair, and untrue are they. They
are humiliating not because they are. from
Mr.. Roosevelt, but because they are from the
President. The Office is degraded. The
people are covered with shame.
"The little postmasters are removed for
engaging In politics. The most of the bu.
siness Of the presidential Office Is devoted to
political campaign. Cabinets are called,
interviews are furnished, telephone and tele-
graph wires are kept hot, the clerical force

with the first unsupported accusations
against his political enemy, by man whom
he has branded as an assassin, he bestrides
his broncho and rushes into the dust of the
melee, waving his lariat aloft, In the form OF
a private letter from his presidential ap.
pointee, to confirm the charges Of the assas-

Your Uncle Joseph Cannon made an at
tack upon William Jennings Bryan. With
q simple, pertinent question Bryan shut
him up.
Candidate Taft tried his hand at scoring
Bryan, and the Democratic candidate made
a reply that Immediately shut Taft up.
Roosevelt rushed madly into the fray, and
Bryan has silenced his artillery-has act
ually shut him up--for the time being, at
least.
This latest feat is the marvel of the age.
To shut the mouth of Roosevelt has been
heretofore regarded as in the nature OF a
physical impossibility. Such a thing was
thought to be as impossible as to stop the
wind from blowing or make the raging seas

PROGRESS OF THE CAMPAIGN.

1t is gratifying to be able to inform our
readers that, Notwithstanding number OF
violent explosions from the occupant of the
White House within the past ten days, pro
duced from ammunition furnished by Roose-
volts now bosom political friend, William r.
Hearst, better known as "the yellow kid"
the national campaign, froma Democratic
standpoint, favorable as 1t has been all along,
is rapidly improving in prospect with every
day that passes.
Bryan, Kern and other Democratic leaders
are out speaking among the people, and are
greeted with large and enthusiastic audi
ences wherever they are heard. The crowds
which have gathered to hear Bryan wher-
ever he has spoken have been greater than
ever before assembled for political purposes
in this country, and leave no doubt Of the
overwhelming tide that has set in the dlrec.
ton Of Democratic success. The drlit 10 80
marked that it is patent to every one In
position to observe it, and, while the Repub
lcan managers will not admit 1t, they are
known TO be frightened almost out of their
wits. In all parts Of the country they are
making frantic efforts to stay the onward
sweep OF sentiment toward the Democratic
candidates and platform, but thus far their
efforts have been utterly unayailing. Their
strenuous struggles seem only to rear add.
tional difficulties In their pathway. In
every direction that they turn furious party
discord and dissension stare them in the
face. They are now convinced that Indiana
10 hopelessly lost to them, and that such
States as New York, New Jersey, Ohio
Illinois, Iowa and the Dakotas are very
likely TO go for Bryan, to say nothing of
Minnesota, which is already conceded to
johnson, the Democratic candidate for gov.
ernor, and is showing strong symptoms of
being also for Bryan and Kern.
In the Congressional campaign Demo.
cratic prospects are equally as bright. Even
here in the Sixth Maryland District, which
normally gives large Republican majority,
Pearre, the Republican candidate, is pretty
badly frightened. Lewis, his opponent, has
Just completed Q two weeks canvass 10 this
county, and has left his party thoroughly
harmonized and alert In the interest OF his
candidacy. Our people, without regard to
party, received him with open arms, and on
the eve of his departure, iu voicing his graf
itude for the kindly treatment accorded him,
he expressed the belief that the county
would give him rousing majority, Of
which We have no doubt. He is sbso-
lutely confident of carrying Allegany, his
own land Pearre's) county, by major.
ity much larger than that by which he car.
ried Il when candidate for State Senator,
and has received most flattering assurances
from all the other counties Of the district,
Of which he will make thorough canvass
between now and the election. Extrava.
CANT as the prediction may appear, there
.eems to be splendid prospect for the cleo
ion of live man, in place Of Pearre, to
represent the Sixth Maryland District in
congress during the next two years.
