THE LIFE SONG

BY Mrs. Francis c. Spath.
The life bark sails on the sea of time,
Both through a sunny and shady
cline,
But cen throughout is the life-song
sung,
YEARLY, YEARLY, YEARLY.
The life in the bark has gained many
things,
But to a phantom delusion cIngs,
And cen throughout is the life-song
sung,
Drearily, drearily, drearily.
The life-love enters the bark beside,
Shares in the journey whate'er be-
tide;
Then cen throughout is the life-song
sung,

NEW IDEA
Helped Wisconsin Couple.

1t doesn't pay to stick too closely
to old notions of things. New ideas
often lead to better health. success
and happiness.
A Wis. couple examined an idea
new to them and stepped up several
rounds on the health ladder. The
husband writes:
Several years ago we suffered from
coffee drinking, were sleepless, nerV-
GUS, salloW, weak and irritable. My
wife and I both loved coffee and
thought it was a bracer." (Delusion)
Finally. after years of suffering, we
read Of Postum and the harmfulness
Of coffee, and believing that to grow
we should give some attention 70 new
ideas, we decided to test Postum.
When we made it right we liked
It and were free of ills caused by
coffee. Our friends noticed the
ehange-fresher skin. sturdier nerves,
better temper, etc.
"Theae changes were not sudden,
but increased as we continued to
drink and enjoy Postum, and we lost
the desire for coffee.
''Many Of our friends did not like
Postum at first, because they did not
make It right. But when they made
Postum according to directions on
pkg, they liked it better than coffee
and were benefited by the change"

ANNAPOLIS NEWS
SUIT OVER STATE ROAD.
Anne Arundel and Prince Georges
People Against Commission.

Anne Arundel and Prince Georges
People Against Commission.
Annapolis.-The question of the
route for a State highway through
Anne Arundel and Prince Georges
counties is the basis of an injunction
suit filed in the Anne Arundel Circuit
Court against Chairman E. o. Weller
and, the other members of the State
Roads Commission.
The petitioners are Caleb C. Magru-
der, clerk of the Court of Appeals, and
other resident taxpayers of Prince
Georges and Anne Arundel counties,
and the court is asked to compel the
roads commission to follow the route
of the old Stage road, leading through
Anne Arundel, in building the new
highway. The petition recites the
fact that the commission is. favorable
to the Meadows road to Camp Spring,
and, in fact, has practically awarded
the contract for the work. The
amount of money apportioned for this
road is s74,536.
A majority of officials and taxpayers
of the two counties are said to favor
the Stage road, and appeals for it's
selection have been made to the roads
commission without result. This road
is shorter, and it is asserted in the
petition that it will be a greater ad-
vantage to a large number of taxpay-
ers than if the route is diverted The
petition sets forth that the matter is
one of vital importance to taxpayers
in general of the two counties.
Furthermore, it is asserted that if the
commission is permitted to lay down
routes for highways, regardless of the
wishes of the taxpayers, it will mean
an expensive system of road building,
for which the taxpayers have to bear
the burden.
Judge Brashears has signed a tenn
porary order on the petition. The suit
was filed through City Solicitor Field
of Baltimore, and the other complain
ants, in addition to Mr.. Magruder, are
Marion Duckett Daniel B. Lloyd. John
M. Duvall, Nelson A Ryon, Charles
M. Gilpin and Allan D. MaIlery, all Of

College Park.-Forty-seven students
attending the summer training school
for rural teachers at the Agricultural
College completed their course Friday.
This new venture on the part of the
Agricultural College has met the en-
thusiastic appreciation of those in at
tendance, and, it is believed, will draw
it much closer to the rural life of
Maryland. The unique feature of this
first session of the summer school has
been the instruction it has offered to
rural teachers in subjects which relate
to agricultural and domestic industries,
such as general farming, fruit grow
ing, gardening, poultry keeping, cook
ing, sewing and household sanitation.
In addition to this instruction a
special series of lectures on methods
of teaching such subjects in the coun-
try school were given by Prof ]. E.

school.

Alleged To Have Aided Dr. HenkeI Ii
Selling Test Questions.
Annapolis.-The board of censors of
the Anne Arundel County Medical So
ciety began an investigation of the
case against DR.. Louis B. Henkel, Jr.,
of Annapolis, who is charged with
supplying test questions and other in
formation in connection with the ex-
aminations conducted by the State
Board of Medical Examiners of candi-
dates for physicians certificates in
1913. The session was held behind
closed doors, and after a five-hour in
quiry the board adjourned until next
Thursday. The charges against DR..
Henkel are based largely upon the
afddavits of DR.. J. w. Barrenburg, of
Baltimore, and DR.. Philip ]. Carma-
done, of Conshohocken, Pa. They
were the principal witnesses examined
by the censOrs. Their testimony was
practically reiteration of their previ-
GUS statements, except that the name
OF DR.. Harry ]. Tankin, of 119 North
Milton avenue, Baltimore, was linked
with the case, 1t was intimated that
DR.. Tankin acted in conjunction with
the accused physician in supplying
the alleged information to the student
physicians. 1t was stated that in
1912, at the time when DR. Henkel
was member of the examining board,
DR.. Tankin was furnished with the in
formation concerning the nature of the
questions, and that in the following
year Henkel and Tankin worked to-
gether in scheme to aid other candi-
dates.
