Instant relief from that itch.
A few drops of soothing liquid
And the itch is gone as if by magic.
Just drop or two on the skin and

that itching agony swept away in a

You can know the relief if you just

We positively know that it allevi-

the cures that follow, as far as we.
know, seem to be permanent.

Schweinfurth. But this theory was
founded on single plant. which
might well have been a plant of cul-
tivated wheat accidentally mixed with
the wild barley, for two other botan-
lists had failed TO find additional speci-
mems I'm the same locality. Aaronsohn
was equally unsuccessful in 1904,
when he went TO Mount Hermon In
quest of the plant but In 1906 he
found the Triticum dicoccoides grow
ing abundantly and In a great va
riety of forms on Mount Hermon, up
to an altitude Of 6,000 feet, and at
other points In Syria and Palestine
IL should be noted that wheat Is not
cultivated in either OF these countries
The plant is always found associ-
ated with wild barley, and grains Of
wheat and barley have always been
found together In lake dwellings and
Egyptian ruins, so that our ancestors
appear to have cultivated the mixture
OF barley and wheat with which ma
ture provided them. The Arabs have
only one name for the two wild grains.
In 1907 Aaronsohn found few rye
plants In Syria. II is generally sup
posed that rye is native OF Europe
and is, and always has been, unknown
in the Orient. In 1906 Aaronsohn
found wild barley in the valley OF the
Dead Sea, and wild wheat associated
with wild barley on the slopes OF
Mount Moab and Mount Galaad, In the
valley OF the Jordan, and on the plat
eau OF Els Sail, always growing In
thin soil, pnrched by the sun, In
crevices of limestone and basalt

A DeadenIng Habit.

A fault-tinding, eriticislng habit is
fatal to all excellence. Nothing Will
strangle growth quicker than ten
deney to hunt for flaws, to rejoice In
the unloyely. like hog, which al
ways has his nose In the mud and
rarely looks up, The direction In
which he looks indicates the life aim,
and people who are always looking
for something to criticise, for the
crooked and ugly, who are always
suspicious, who invariably look at tho
worst side of others, are but giving
the world picture of themselves.
The disposition to see the worst in
stead OF the best grows on one very
rapidly, until It ultimately strangles
all that Is beautiful and crushes out
all that is good in himself. No matter
how many times your confidence has
been betrayed, do not allow yourself
to sour, do not lose your faith in peo-
pie. The bad are the exceptions;
most people are honest and true and
mean to do what is right.

WHEAT AND RYE.
Palestine aud Syria the Original
Cereal Countries.

Cerenl Countries.
The origin of the cultivation OF ce-
reals has seemed lost in the night OF
time. AT the beginning of the histori-
cal period, the culture OF wheat had
extended throughout the ancient world
II was practised In Egypt 1000 years
before the Christian era, and wheat
is one of the five plants included In
the annual sowing ceremony which
the Chinese Emperor Chin-nung In
situted 1900 years before that era.
Wheat and barley have also been
found, In considerable quantities, in
the palafittes or lake dwellings erect
ed on piles In prehistoric times.
Ten years ago the problem of the
origin OF cereal culture was deemed
insoluble, for botanists thought that
wheat would never be found growing
wild In any part of the world. SUBJ
sequently, however, much light has
been thrown ON the question by the
theoretical views OF Koernicke, who
has reorganized the classification OF
cultivated varieties of wheat, and es-
pecially by the dilligent historical re-
searches of Aaronsohn.
Among the specimens OF wild barley
collected in 1855 by Kotschy, at the
foot OF Mount Hermon, near Damas-
Gus, was found a single example of a
different grain, the Importance OF
which was ignored at the time. Koer-
nicke observed this plant in 1873, but
devoted little attention to II until 1889
when he described 1t under the name
lTritlcum vulgare; var. dicoccoides.

DODGING THE REAL ISSUE.

The amendment which the Demo
cratic party, through the last legisla-
ture, submits to the people Of Mary
land, for the regulation of the elect
i've franchise, Is the simple proposi-
ton OF eliminating from the privileges
OF the suffrage, the illlterate and ir-
responsible negroes who are now
voting In our state.
The Republican party In this cam
Daign is discussing everything but
this They have really dropped the
negro, say not word IN defense Of his
right of suffrage They are, however,
prodigiously In earnest In holding on
to him, as their most valuable voting
asset, but never a word for him, as
qualified voter.
IN order TO accomplish their pur-
pose OF holding on to the negro, they
are expending all their effort In
this campaign to make the
impression, first, that the proposed
amendment is unconstitutional and
next that 1t will, If adopted, disfran-
chise the foreign-born citizen.
Now. If 1t is unconstitutional why
all this effort to defeat it. An uncon-
stitutional law is no law at all. II
this amendment is unconstitutional Il
will fall to the ground before the SUI
preme Court, and that will be the end
of 1t. But the frantic efforts they are
making to defeat its passage, shows
very conclusively that they do not
think IT is unconstitutional.
The amendment was framed after
the most careful consideration and by
some Of the most distinguished men,
bers Of The Maryland bar, and the
Democratic party has no fear at all
that I. sill not stand the test of the
courts.
In regard to the second point, they
are urging, that 1t will disfranchise
the foreign-born citizen. In other
words they say the Democratic party
is deliberately designing to take the
right to vote from this class OF our
citizens Now let us examine this
preposterous proposition for mo-
ment In the first place, the great
majority of these foreign-born citizens
are Democrats, and why should our
PARTY want to disfranchise its own
people OF course this is a piece of
mere claptrap that nobody believes.
Then again the history Of the Dem
ocratic party shows that when the
suffrage of these toreign-born citizens
was threatened in the days of Know
Nothingism, it was this very Demo
cratic party which prevented their
suffrage being taken away from them.
So that we repeat, they are discuss
ing everything but the real issue,
They are afraid to 90 before the peo-
pie Of our state and say that the thou
sands of negroes who know nothing
and care nothing for the government
but who at every election vote the Re-
publican ticket, are fit subjects for the
suffrage. And so they dodge the is
