greatest prosperity and this pros

DRINKING WATER AT MEALS.

There are always two sides to the
simplest little facts Of life. There
is this matter Of drinking water at
ones meals. It has been regarded as
miserable habit The school text
books teach it that way and they give
very impressive reasons for 1t. 1t
used to be taught-drink at your
meals II you feel like 1t; drink all
you want; 1t is good for YOU; helps
digestion. Then came the opposite
dCctrine-never drink at your meals
and not for an hour afterward, and
that idea has prevailed and Is a part
OF our wise school knowledge these
days.
Now comes Prof Hawk OF the Uni
vcrsity Of Illinois. who has beer
studying the subject for seven years
and his conclusion Is that water
drinking at meals helps digestion
principally by utilizing the protel'
food, which is regarded as the mos
important function of digestion
Then the fluids help digest the fat
and throttle the bacteria that rang
along the alimentary canal and kee
stirring up all sorts Of tumults. 5
the latest information Is not to le
anybody scare you about drinkin
=. water at your meals. Just drin
what you want and forget about it,

Grand Jury Report
ITO the Honorable, The Judges of the
Circuit

ITO the Honorable, The Judges of the
Circuit
We, the Grand Jurors for the Septem-
Der term of the Circuit Court. 1912,
most respectfully report to your Hon
ors that we have carefully and with all
the dispatch possible diligently exam
ined and enquired into all violations and
attractions of the law which have been
brought to the attention of our body,
and have found presentments in all cases
where we believed the evidence Justi-
fed. 1t is a matter of congratulation
that these cases have been few.
We have inspected the Jail and found
the building and its surroundings in as
good condition as could have been ex-
pected.
We have carefully examined the rec
ords kept by the County Commissioners
with reference to the receipts and ex-
penditures of the county's finances and
find the same kept in business-like,
competent and highly satisfactory man
ner, rejecting high credit upon the
clerical force of the Commissioners
office.
With the present method of ascer-
tanning just who have and who have not
taken out licenses for doing mercantile
business in the various sections of the
county, there Is considerable difficulty
to be encountered. and we most respect
fully suggest, as is the custom in many
counties of the State, that it should be
made the duty of the various constables
in the respective districts of the county
to visit each place of business in each
district, during the first two weeks in
every May, when such licenses are is
sued, and to ascertain who has and who
has not taken out a license for the con-
Quoting Of such business as he or she
may be carrying on, and 10 make imme-
date report of such investigation to the
proper authorities.
In our investigation of matters re-
ported to us, there was one case, State
VS.. Hall Poe, charged with Arson, In
which a very material witness for the
State could not be reached, and We
would suggest that this case be held
over for the next Grand Jury.
We are indebted to your Honors, the
States Attorney, and all other Court
officers for the uniform courtesy ex-
tended TO us, and now, having concluded
our labors, we most respectfully ask "a
be discharged.

SEED CORN.

Lately we called attention to
the advantage of selecting from the
fields this Fall the Seed Corn in
tended for next year.
1t is we'll to secure twice as much
as you expect to use so you can
make further selection OF the best
ears, and you will probably sell the
remainder at a good price to those
who have failed to provide.
Dean Smith gave ii for his opinion
that whoever could make two ears
Of corn, or two blades of grass, 10
grow upon a spot OF ground where
only one grew before, would deserve
better of mankind and do more es-
sential service to his Country than
the whole race of politicians put to
gether. On this basis see what
the farmers can do for Maryland
one important point to remember
Is "MATURIrY "--Mature Corn is
higher feeding value, is worth moro
per bushel, and is always higher 10
vitality under adverse conditions.
The weight Of one ear is one guide
the large ear is not always desira-
bic; we'll filled, medium sizad, are
generally more productive and q
greater vitality, and should carry
