A WORD WITH WOMEN.
Valuable Advice for Annapolis
Readers.

Many a woman endures with noble
patience the daily misery Of baCkache,
pains about the hips, blue. nerv Gus
spells, dizziness and urinary disorders,
hopeless of relief because she doesn' t
know what is the matter
1t is not true that every pain in the
back or hips is trouble peculiar to
the sex. Often when the kidneys
get congested and inhamed, such aches
and pains follow.
You can tell it is kidney trouble If
the secretions are dark colored, contain
sediment; the passages are too fre-
quent or scanty. Then help the weak
ened kidneys. Don't expect them to
get well alone.
Doan's Kidney Pills have won the
praise of thousands of women. They
are endorsed at home-Read this Anna

Lillian Russell at Colonial Theatre
Easter Monday.

Lillian Russell is probably the
most talked about and discussed
woman in America. For years she
was the acknowle dyed queen of comic
opera. Since her retirement from
the lyric stage she hes had no success
sor. Years ago she waJ voted the
ideal of beauty among American wo-
men. Today her title to that distinc-
ton remains unchallenged.
Therefore, her appearance on the
stage Of the Colonial Theatre Easter
Monday night, March "a, for a series
of three lectures in her new depar-
ture sugg ssts something of much in
terest. She promises. with the a s.
distance of some remarkable Kinema-
color pictures a unique enteIta
ment, entitled How to Live Que
Hundred Year" and still die young.
For six months has atteutio nbeen
engaged in the preparation of her
subject, and recently, for Sc veral
weeks, she was in Southern Califor-
mia, Arizona and New Mexico, posing
before the camera man for illustra-
tions of her story.
In gratef full return for the appre-
citation she has always met from her
countrymen, she, an American wo-
man, believes she owes them a debt
in return tor which il is her ssire to
show them in a talk that will be at
once instructive and amusing how it
is possible for everybody to be en-
tirely independent of doctors and
free from the depressing and disturb
ing effects of i'll health and prema-
ture age by practicing a few simple
rules.
The pictures will show Miss Russell
at work in her dressing room, in her
gymnasium in her home and in her
playhouse. To retain youth, one must
work and with purpose. ldleness is
the thing that ages and that il the
root of ugliness. Miss Russell will
show in her pictures how her days are
spent with an utter disregard of any
effort to spare herself from labor.
The interest that will be arou sed
by this invitation to the public to
look into the private life of a famous
and popular woman is by no means
Miss Russell's motive in setting forth
these personal matters, but rather to
illustrate the truth of her argument
that youth and beauty as well as age
are matters over which every human
being has positive individual control.

DREDGERs FARED BADLY.
Oyster Season for Them Closed Sal
urdaT, But ToBgers May Work
Until AurlI 2S.

The poorest season that OYSTER
dredgers working in Maryland and
nearby waters have had for many
years closed Saturday Not only was
the seasons catch exceptionally
small, but prices ruled low, and on
the whole the dredgers received poor
returns for their labor.
The small catch was a surprise TO
the dredgers and men interested in
the oyster business. The severe cold
of the winter of I911-I2 prevented
dredging a considerable part of the
season and it was thought that the
oysters missed during the long period,
when ice prevented the dredgers from
reaching the beds, would make the
late seasons catch heavy one.
Just why the catch was small no
body can explain. Possibly the Sc
we're weather last winter killed many
oysters, said man prominent in
the industry, and in some cases a
heavy shed Of young growth buried
beds of developed oysters. This young
growth gives promise Of better catch
es in future seasons, but the one Just
closing has hsen great disappoint-
ment.
Because of the warm wealth n
during the winter the demand for oys-
te has been comparatively light and
the price consequently has beean low,
notwithstanding the scarcity of oys-
ters. The season 5 pack is, of course,
lower than usual
Swepson Earle, photographic engi-
neer of the Maryland Shellfsh Com
mission, said that the reports received
at the commissions offices showed
that the dredging season had been a
poor one generally in Maryland
waters, though in the neighborhood
of Tsngier Island it had been some
what better than in other sections.
Maryland waters will be closed to
dredgers until November /. The
longing season will not close until
April rs.
