to trap her Into contradicting herself
and break down her story. 81
That she had permitted her sister to
battle singly with her angry husband

fact that she was afraid Of him-tha,

The friends Of Miss Reulab Mckee

The friends of Miss Beulah Mckee
gave her quite pleasant surprise party
last Saturday evening, in honor of her
fifteenth birthday. Among those pres
ent were: Misses Margie Godfrey,
Mary Powell, Alice Workman, Sallie
Powell, Susie Warren, Blanche Bailey,
Edna Shockley, Allie Bailey, Matilda
Reed. of Franklin City, Lille Workman,
of Berlin, Lena johnson, of Ocean City
and Bertha Beauchamp, of Scarborough;
Messrs. Lawrence Godfrey, Norman
Pusey, Cleveland Bailey, Corbett Stur-
gis, Merrill Beauchamp, Lora Bailey,
Fred Hamblin. Edgar and Wallace VIM
brow, of Wango. Miss Beulah receiv-
ed many useful and pretty presents.
After playing games for some time, all
repaired to the dining room where re-
freshments wero served; soon after the
guests left for their respective homes,
wishing Miss Beulah many happy returns
of the day.
The tuberculosis exhibit, which was
re-opened at the Court House Monday
night. has been seen by comparative
" small number of people. The exhibit,
and the lectures given in connection
Herewith, were worthy of larger audi
emces, although there is no doubt much
good has been accomplished. The con-
viction that the disease is contagious is
being accepted by all Thoughtful people,
and the Importance of fresh air, cleanli-
ness, etc., is better realized than for
merly. The lecture on Thursday even
ing by DR.. Roland Abercrombie, of
Baltimore, was especially good, and
was quite well attended. Mr.. Stock
well then explained the work of a
visiting nurse and. after some discus
sion. Rev. c. w. Prettyman was elect
ed chairman of committee to raise
the necessary funds. Several other
communities in Maryland, especially
Easton and Salisbury. have secured a
visiting nurse with good results. The
question as to whether or not the disease
is to spread depends on the care given
the consumptive, and it has been found
that a nurse who will visit the patients
in their homes and teach them how to
care for themselves and follow the doc
tors advice, is very important step
in getting rid of the disease. The peo-
pie of Snow Hill are to be congratulated
on taking such stand in this great
crusade.
