Closing Meetings of the Season-The
Sweet AIR Lyceum.-The injecting for Men
Only" to be held at the Sweet Air Lyceum,
Saturday evening. March 21st. promises to be
of exceptional interest and importance. Four
great questions peculiar to the male sex will be
discussed by eminent speakers. The program,

why prev. ID. H. Martin, Belair.

Air.
Amale quartette will intersperse the addresses

Mr. Elmer R. Halle president of the Lyceum,
arranged the program as above in order that
the ladies might at least have an opportunity
to guess the nature of the responses that the
reverend gentlemen will make to the questions.
Two weeks later will be Ladies' Night and
it is more than likely they will then get up
something that will set the men guessing.
With these two meetings the Ly ceum will close

Mr.. Shirley Talks on Good Roads.-Mr.
Henry g. Shirley, roads engineer for Baltimore
county, delivered an address on roads and road
building at the annual meeting of the Mount
Washington Improvement Association. In
part he said:
1.-TWO bills have been introduced in the Leg
islature to bring about the construction of a
complete system of main trunk lines through
out Maryland From business and engineer
irg standpoint should say that the Biddson
bill as amended is all right. thoroughly agree
that there should be paid commission to go
over the State and select the main trunk lines
to be improved, for it will take about year to
do this work properly, giving each highway
the proper consideration as to its present and
future importance.
when this selection has been completed. or
during its progress, the trunk lines selected
should be turned over to the Geological Survey
Commission to be constructed under its super.
vision. At least one member of the commits
sion should be practical engineer familiar
with road construction. The highways division
of the Geological Survey has been studying and
building roads since 1896. and, having com
pete organization for carrying on such work,
il seems to me it is in better position to take
up the construction work at once than any
other commission in the State.
IF there is commission, three members of
which are to be paid, as provided for in the
compromise bill, should say that at least one
mem Der ought to be an engineer we'll posted in
road construction, so that when he inspects the
work he will readily know if the specifications
are being properly carried out.
There has been great deal said about the
cost of the macadam work that has been done
in the State, butthe cost depends on the amount
of grading. the cost of stone delivered on the
work and the labor
Mr. Shirley showed by figures that it costs
anywhere from 81, 600 to So 900 mile to build
good road He said that the total mileage of
the State WIS. something like 5000 miles and
including about 200 miles oftrunk lines Mary
land is on the eve of making great stride Ia
her material progress.

House Roof Over 100 Years Old.-Mrs
James Watson, who lives near Fallston is put
ting on the north side of her house new
shingle roof, the first renewal since the house
was built in 1794,a period of 114years. The old
roof that the new one replaces was of cedar
shingles 1922 The nails used in the old roof
were of wrought iron, handmade, square as to
the body but with fiat end or point and cores
pond in size With the present eight. penny
nail. These old nails are in a good state of
preservation, apparently as good as when
first driven. and indicate better quality of
iron than is now used in nail factories. The
old shingles are in equally sound condition.
The inner or under part where covered, as
good as new. The butt ends where the water
dripped from one to the other were worn as
thin as cardboard and will no longer stand
pressure and created a leaky roof and the neces-
sity for a new one The roof on the south side
of the house was renewed in 1869 and had
thirty eight years less of life, due probably to
the exposure of the southern sun and winds.
Messrs Kerr and Colder in taking off the old
roof found box of old copper and silver coins
aud a EalleV made of sheetlead about an eighth
good condition except in one place, there was d
hole where the water fell into 1t probably made
by many rainfals. The stone in this house at
the upper corner bears the name and date

ried to the scene when the alarm was given,
but on account of the high wind they were IN.
able to do much towards saving the contents OF
the house, most of which was destroyed also.
The estimated loss is about S.. 600 and, unfor-
tunately, there was no insurance Mr. Gent
was in Towson attending court as member OF

1t is worthy of note, toe, that there pre-
walls today among the citizens of Hous-
ton a spirit of unity, harmony and
good will, seldom, if ever, seen in her
half century of experience as a city.
Houston does not claim to have at
tanned unto perfection in municipal ad-
ministration, but she does claim to be
pressing toward that ideal; and she
believes that what she has accomplish
ed by the application Of simple business
principles in the management of her
municipal affairs can be accomplished
by any other American city under like
circumstances.
She notes with pleasure the general
disposition on the part Of her sister
cities to abandon the unbusinesslike
system of the past, and 50 to eliminate
from the future record page in Amer
lean municipal life which is unworthy
of the traditions of our forefathers.
The conclusion is inevitable, that the
affairs of our great cities can be, and
ought to be, administered on sound
business principles; and that the com
mission idea is the means for the ac-
complishment of that end Houston
hopes, not without reason, that she be-
holds already the dawn of that better
day for municipal government in

SWALLOWED FIVE
BOTTLES OF POISON

A man came to me for treatment
a few weeks ago who had taken FIVE
bottles of poisonous drugs. He got
the stuff from a doctor for the cure
of chronic kidney trouble and rheu-
matism.
OF course, the patient did not
know the nature of the medicine he
had been using until 1 analyzed the
contents of one of the bottles. The
mixture contained morphine, alcohol
and potash in large quantities. He
then realized why he had become
nervous, debilitated and weak; why
his stomach went back on him and
his food wouldn t digest. He real
Ized also that if he had continued
the use of these poisons much long
er he would have become a drug
slave, Just as thousands of other
sufferers have who went to doctors
for relief.
That 5 the way all drugs work.
They will stop pain by deadening
the nerves. but the pain comes back
in few hours and you have to re-
peat the dose The trouble is still
there and will remain there until
the cause is removed.
Now, this man took up my treat
ment and began using Electro-Vigor
every night. In three weeks time
every pain and ache was gone from
his body, and in another two weeks
