Maryland Prohibitionists are preparing
to wage an aggressive campaign in the
state, but before doing this it is proposed
to reorganize the party with the view Of
uniting their forces. which have been
scattered in recent years. While the
leaders have not abated their efforts, the
party as such has lost votes.
To bring these back and to awaken
what Is regarded by them as dormant
sentiment. the executive committee has
secured the services of an experienced
campaigner in the person of Edward W.
Mills, formerly of West Virginia. but
more recently Of California. Mr.. Mills
has the reputation of being an efficient
worker and organizer to whose efforts is
in great measure due the adoption of the
prohibition amedmeut by West Virginia.
While state chairman of Il Prohibition
party Of West Virginia. as well as men,
Der Of the national committee, and pre-.
ceding the amendment campaign, he
held over 1000 meetings throughout the
state, covering nearly every local com.
munity in bis campaign and SO thoroughly
educating the citizeus Of West Virginia to
the Importance of prohibition that the
politicians were unable TO evade the ques-
ton.
Mr.. Mills is to serve the party in Mary.
land as field secretary, acting under the
authority of the executive committee.
No definite plans have as yet been for.
mnlated. but it Is understood the work Of
reorganization will begin without delay.
The party expects to place in the field
candidates for United States senator and

dark, glossy and abundant. Whenever
! her hair fell out or took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this sim

hair, and is splendid for dandruff, dry,

A well known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair SO naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one

gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, it becomes
beautifully dark, glossy, soft and
