SCHOOL COMMISSIONERSH|P
MANY WANT JOB OF SUPERIN-
TENDING COUNTY SCHOOLS.

Will Examine Candidates June Both,
and to Stay in Race Must Make
as Much as So Per Cent.
One of the liveliest contests of this
years politics promises to be for the
office of county school commissioner,
which will become vacant by the
resignation OF the present incum-
bent, Major H. A. Wilkinson, and
whose successor must, under a law
passed by the legislature at it's ses-
sion last summer, be elected by the
people at the ballot box.
The News stated in it's last issue
that Messrs. ]. w. F. Lowrey, r. R.
Marlin and ]. H. Whitchard, all of
Dawson, were each letting it be
known that it would be agreeable if
called upon to render this service to
the people, and since then this num-
Der has been increased by the pros
peCtive candidacy of Mr. w. G.
Mauk, the well-knOwn and popular
principal OF the Parrott High School.
The act that makes school COM
missioners elective by the people re-
QuiTes the successors of all commits
Sioners whose terms will expire prior
to the third Wednesday in October,
1912, to be elected at the general
election in October this year, and
also provides that at least ninety
days before that election all candi-
dates for the position shall take an
examination prescribed by the state
department. of education and only
those making eighty-five per cent.
or more in the same shall offer them
selves for the Office. This examina-
ton, according to a communication
received by Commissioner Wilkin-
son from State School Commissioner
Pound, will be held on Thursday,
June Goth, and the questions will
be prepared in the Office of Mr. Pound
and sent to the board of education,
who will provide for the holding of
the examination and the grading of
the papers. The subjects covered
will be the same as those for the
teachers examination.
Everybody Can Vote.
AS Dawson has an independent
school system that is in no wise con-
nected with the county schools or
under the control of the county
school authorities the question has
been raised as to whether citizens of
Dawson will be entitled to vote in
the election for school commissioner.

Are Drugs Necessary?
Do Drugs Cure Disease?
Can Nature be Assisted?

II people were born right and after.
wards lived right, there would be no
use for medicine. Every doctor knows
this. So do other well-informed people.
One thing more. When person lives
wrongly, or acquires bodily weakness by
heredity, medicine can do only very
little. Medicine cannot cure him. Only
charlatans claim that medicines will
cure disease. Medicines may palliate
symptoms. Medicines may urge the
powers Of Nature to resist disease. Med
icines sometimes arouse the efforts of the
human tody to right itself against de-
rangements. This Is the most that med
icine can do.
y man accidentally puts his finger in
the fire. Instinctively he vets his
finger in his mouth, then blows on 1t
for the cooling effect. This is no cure.
He knows IL very well. But ii makes it
feel better for the time being.
People eat unwisely. This produces
dyspepsia or indigestion. The only
rational cure is to eat correctly. Yet IL
palliative is at hand the pains of indI-
gestion can be mitigated, the throes OF
dyspepsia assuaged. The medicine can
not be said TO have cured. 1t simply
palliates disagreeable symptoms. The
cure must come through right living.
Take Peruna, for instance. No one
claims Peruna is a cure for dyspepsia.
But Pcruna will stimulate the stomach
10 perform its function properly. Peru
M will increase the flow OF digestive
fluids, without which digestion cannot
be carried on at all. twill increase the
relish Of food, the appetite.
II is admitted that all this can be
accomplished by right living, but there
are so many people who either will not
or do not know how to eat correctly that
tremendous amount of good can be
done by the wise use OF Peruna.
A stomach that has been frequently
abused performs the function OF diges-
ton very iazily. Such stomach allows
the food to remain undigested for some
time after 1t is swallowed. This leads
TO fermentation Of the food. Sour stom-
ach is the result. This goes on week
after week, until the blood is poisoned
with the products of fermentation. This
is very apt to produce rheum-
atism.
II is not claimed that Peruna will cure
Nothing will cure rheum
atism but correct living. But II is
claimed that Peruna will assist a badly
Ebused stomach to perform its work.

II n person would correct his habits,
persist in right eating and temperate
ways, undoubtedly the stomach would
right itself, the blood would rid itself OF
the poison, and everything would be
right. But as said before there are n
multitude OF people who will not or can
not adopt right methods of living. To
such people Peruna is a boon. A dose
before meals will assist the stomach to
do its work. This prevents fermenta-
tion OF the food, brings about normal
digestion, and all the train Of ills that
follow indigestion disappear.
In other words, Pcruna is helpful TO
those who live badly, or those who
have acquired some chronic weakness.
Pcruna does not cure, but 1t assists the
powers Of Nature to bring about cure.
The whip does not increase the power
OF the horse TO pull load, but Judi
ciously used IL stimulates the horse TO
use his powers at the right time, with
out which he could not have pulled the
load.
This illustrates the effect OF Peruns,
or any other good remedy upon the sys-
TEN. Taken at the right time, IL calls
forth the powers OF the human system
to meet the en- roachments of disease,
and thus cuts short, If not entirely ends,
the diseased action.
No one should ever attempt TO suhsti.
tute medicine in the place Of right liy-
ing. In the end such an attempt will
prove disaster. Butan occasional usc
OF the right medicine at the right time
Is godsend, and no reasonable person
will undertake to deny IL.
Those who know how 20 use Peruna
find 1t Of untold value. BY and by tho

through correct living no medicine at
all will be needed. But that time has

Judge Hollands Successor

The laws of Maryland provide
for the retirement of Court
Judges when they reach the age
of 20 years, and if they have
served fifteen consecutive years
on the bench and have reached
the age limit. they are entitled
to a pension for the remainder
of their life of $2400.0o year.
Judge Holland will! reach the
age limit next year, and a bill
has passed the Senate retiring
him now because of poor health.
instead of waiting for him to
reach his SEVENTEEN year.
When this action 'of the Senate
became known last Friday
morning, the friends of Mr.. IL.
l.. ID. Stanford, of Somerset
County. and Messrs. +. Stanley
Toadvin james T.. Ellegood and
Joseph l.. Bailey, of Wicomico
County, got busy to secure the
endorsement of the bar of the
Circuit for their favorite. A
majority of the members of the
Worcester bar have signed a
petition to Governor Crothers
asking for the appointment of
Mr.. Stanford. Wicomico claims
that as Judge Holland is a resi-
dent of Wicomico County, that
the Governor should appoint a
Wicomico man, so that con-
ditions will remain as if Judge
Holland were completing his
term and leave the Judicial
convention of the Circuit to
name his successor.
The friends of Mr.. Stanford
claim that he is the logical can
didate, because he was promi-
nently mentioned for the po-
sition of Associate Judge last
year, but declined to embarrass
in any way the candidacy of
Judge Jones, at the same time
letting it be understood that he
would be candidate to succeed
Judge Holland when he had
reached the age-limit. They
also claim that he is younger
than the other candidates, with
the exception of Mr.. Bailey, and
that he is eminently qualified
for the position.
