Of special interest to Marylanders was
the newly introduced series of events for
the Rural High Schools of Maryland.
Seven schools competed in this series,
the championship falling to Franklin
High School of Reisterstown, with total
of II points. Thurmont High School and
Cecil Co. High School of Elkton, tied for
second place, each with points. The
Rural High School athletes surprised
everybody by their excellent showing and
deserve great credit for the work they
did. They were all delighted with the
Meet, and are going back next year to
win some more of the handsome gold,
silver, and bronze medals, which the
Tome management awards.
Tome was so much gratiied by the in
terest which the schools il. our counties
showed in this new feature, and by their
generous response to her invitation to
compete, that she will continue the series
another year, and add one or more events
to it. This new feature has aroused fav-
orable comment in our State, and it is
more than likely to be introduced else
where, so that the initiative the State
of Maryland has taken, will, in all prob
ability result in a genuine outburst of
enthusiasm for athletics in her sister
States, and may eventually extend
through the country at large.
When you think of indigestion think of
Kodol for it is without doubt the only
preparation that completely disgests all
classes of food And that is what you
need when you have Indigestion or stom-
ache trouble something that will act
promptly but thoroughly: something that
will get right at the trouble and do the
very work itself for the stomach by iii
costing the food that you eat and that is
Kodol. 1t is pleasant to take. 1t is sold
