impressed with the happy and whole

impressed with the happy and whole
some life of the people as compared
with that in unclean and insanitary
communities.
The value Of these efforts lies not
in the specific work done, but in. the
community spirit developed. Hygiene
in its broadcast Interpretation, includes
mans welfare in its totality. Health
because of this is & social
obligation-"for none of US liveth to
to himself" The physician no longer
bears the whole burden of protection
or prevention. Insanitary conditions
are due to the sins of the community
rather than the sins of the individual,
yet, the individual bears a response
bility. His obligation is two7fold. The
municipality may provide pure food
and sanitary environment, but the in
dividual is responsible for personal
effort to keep himself hygienically fit.
The economic value of health has
dawned co-ordinately with the idea of
conservation of material resources. 1t
is becoming understood that a nation
rich in the sources of wealth is poor
indeed if It's men lack vital force.
The unitarian value Of health, at
present, appeals to a large number
They admit that it is wise and eco
nomic to invest money in an output of
men and women equipped with health
full bodies; their productivity is great
er. An ever-increasing number are
becoming convinced Of health values
which can not be measured in terms
of dollars and cents.
Good blood, physical soundness, i'm
ply mental power and moral poise. In
the annals of history it is clear that
every nation great in achievement had
a foundation for national glory in the
soil of physical perfection.
1t is scientific business manage
ment to eliminate the element of
waste; to substitute in the social bal
ance credits for debts. In health
work to do this the public must be
taught to appreciate the value, mate
rial and spiritual of this most import
ant of the nations resources. The
means are at hand An attack on ex-
listing fundamental evils with the ap-
nlic atom of the princinleS of sanitary
science through social agencies.
To the student of social evolution
the idea of disease prevention and
health promotion is full of meaning;
it implies betterment in every form;
it opens a perspective illlmltable for
human advancement.
To those who take heed of present
day problems, it is clear that the SIM
plest attempts at improved sanitary
conditions are worth while. That ed
ucation of the people in the princi-
Piles of hygiene, personal and COM
munity is essential; and further, that
1t is only through science and cooper
alton that permanent reforms can be
! We, of the twentieth century, are
the heirs of all the ages in the fore
most files of time To use this knowl-
edge with increasing purpose for the
benefit of humanity, is a pleasure and
privilege.

BAYHAM MAKES
STRONG ASSERTION

Little Rock, April 15.-Dr. c. w.
Baynham, a Little Rock physician who
is well known IN all sections of the
state, declares that there is remedy
for kidney complaints at the hand of
every man, woman and child in Ar
kansas, and costly medicines are un-
necessary in treating any disease of
these organs. His remedy is two
thirds -four and one-third cottonseed
meal, made into cake and eaten like
bread. DR.. Baynham states that
continued diet in which this bread is
an important part will conquer the
most obstinate disease of the kidney.
Bad breath, bitter taste, dizziness
and general "no account" feeling is
a sure sign of a torpid liver. HER
BINE is the medicine needed. 1t

blood, regulates the bowels and re-

Although the gubernatorial election in
this State is two years off. the picking of
probable candidates. or at least the guess
ing. has already begun. stimulated by the
recent sweeping democratic victory at the
polls. But the next State election will be
fought on different lines from the election
just passed. There will be no national
issues involved In the next fight for gov
ernor and the candidates win not have
the tremendous influence of President
Wilson to assist them in their fight. as
did Blait Lee'in his Senatorial campaign.
The men who are spoken of as candi-
dates for the governorship by their various
friends are:
Hon. Emerson c. Harrington. Comp
troller; Jesse D. Price. President Senate ;
Charles Linthicum, Member of Congress |;
Joshua w. Miles, Somerset; Jerre Wheel
wright. Of Baltimore;
Hon. ]. Harry Covington. Member Of

these it is very probable that many more

Slicer and c. T. Dare visited Philadel-
phia on Wednesday, in an effort to locate
w. 6. Ober. the matchmaker who skipped
from this town. taking with him all the
watches and jewelry left at his shop for
repair.
Ober evidently made pretty good

twenty-six watches. and there are un=
doubtedly Others who have not reported
their loss.
James McNutt, of this town. IS the only
one so far to have recovered his property.

Philadelphia on Monday and gave the
authorities the number of his watch.
The time-piece was located in a few min
utes in pawn shop, where the tbieving
matchmaker had left it. 1t was redeemed
for $500.
Since the return of Messrs. Slicer and
Dare it is learned that 90 missing watches
have been reported. although only few
of them can be traced as the owaers can
not give the number on case or works.
Besides James McNutt's watch. those
of the following persons hav been secur-
ed from the Philadelphia pawn shops so
far: Mrs. Jas. H. Evans. S E. Clayton.
Harry Ramsey and j. D. Miller. c. T.
Dare's watch was found TO have been

Der. Il is expected that Eber, Ober or
Uber. as it is learned he uses all three
names. will soon be apprehended.

Some Red Cross Seal Flaures.

Few people have any idea of the magnitude
of the Red Cross Christmas Seal Campaign
This year, 100000 900 seals have been print.
ed and distributed. If placed end-to-end
these seals would extend nearly 400 miles. or
practically from New York to Salt Lake Citv.
They have been sent to over sS.OOO different
agents and will be sold and handled by an
army of not less than 10000 volunteers in
ciuding men, women and children. Milliona
OF advertising circulars have been scattered
throughout the country, and so thoroueblv
has the advertising campaign been oreani1a1
that it is doubtful If many people in the more,
populous States of the country will not have
heard OF the Red Cross Seal and its mission
in the prevention Of tuberculosis. It is hoped
that at least 5o'ooOoOO seals may be sold this
year. The principle upon which the sale OF
seals is based is that every cent except what
little is needed to cover the actual cost -
printing and handling shall be spent for tub-
erculosts work in the community where tha
seals are sold. 'n~

On motion Elwood Balderston.
r. x. Rawlings and A. P. Nc.
Fadden were named as commit.
tee to represent the club in the
matter.
Mr.. Balderston also urged the
members and others to look for
ward to sending an exhibit to the
exhibition next year, as so far Cecil
county had been very slimly repre-
sented in way of farm products
and our products were we'll worthy
of attention at all such gatherings.
j. II. Maxwell said he had tried
spreading manure in fall and
spring for corn and could not de.
tect the slightest difference in the
crop.
Jos. T. Grove said he had tried
both and could not find any differ
ence in the corn but that it showed
somewhat in the fodder.
Mr.. Reeder said that in Septem-
Der a year ago he had plowed
wheat stubble and put on 1900 lbs.
of hydrated lime, missing I acre
across middle of field and also one
acre on edge of field. He could
not see any difference in the
timothy but that the clover was
much better where ground had
been lined.
Mr.. Rawlings said he could not
see any difference in his wheat or
grass where lime had been applied
and where it had not.
Mr.. Duyckinck said now was the
best time to secure grape vine cut
tings.. Cut with three buds and
cover with leaves until next NAV.

WASHINGTON. Oct. Z, 1913.
Mr.. JAMES H. MAXWELL, Treas,
Cecil Farmers Club. Rising Sun, Md.
Dear Sir:
Last winter you contributed to the assem-
bling of the American Commission for the
study of rural cooperation in Europe. We
wish you to know that every dollar you gave
us was spent in a campaign of education to
interest the public in the work of the Ameri-
can Commission.
We accompanied the Commission as dele
gates from Tennessee and as members OF the
staff of the United States Commission. Our
expenses, therefore, were paid by the United
States which appropriated $25,OOO. for a COM
mission of seven members and their stair to
study agricultural cooperation in connection
with the American Commission.
Directly or indirectly the campaign of
education concerning the American Commis-
sion was responsible for the appointment of
and the appropriation for the United States
Commission.
These two Commissions spent three months
In Europe studying at first hand all the rural
cooperative systems under which European
agriculture is organized and which have
placed it on the same footing as commerce
and industry.
In their composition the Commissions rep
resented thirty states and four Canadian
provinces. They were very typical Ameri-
can company representing every phase of in
terest In agriculture and every economic
activity. The great majority of the members
were earnest and serious men and women, and
their mission was taken seriously by both gov
ernment officials and the agricultural associa-
tions of the countries they visited. Never in
the history Of agricultural Organization had
there been such gatherings in these countries
of those interested in and working for agricul-
ture. In each country special publications
were prepared for the Commissions setting
