Much Too Generous.

Speaking of generosity at a banquet
the other evening, Senator Lawrence
Y. Sherman of Illinois told how a Ger
tain party named Pat exceeded the
speed limit along that line.
Some time ago Pat decided to make
his will, and to that end he called on
a lawyer friend with a list of his rela'
tives and a summary Of the wealth
he had to bequeath. The will was
500 made and Pat departed happily
conscious of a duty well done.
Almost. before daylight the next
morning the lawyers doorbell violent
ly rang, and looking out Of the win
dow the legal one saw Pat palpitatinl
on the doorstep.
"Shure, yez honor" excitedly cried
the man below, "Oi come to see We;
about thot will. OF got to thinkin' il
over an couldn't slape a wink al
noight."

lawyer, a little testify. whats the

BEST TO SUPPRESS COUGH
Doctor Declares II Is Irritating, and
Has DeIeterious Effect on the
Sufferer.

The following is from a doctor con
nected with an institution where there
are many children:
There is nothing more irritable to
a cough than a cough. For some time
l had been so fully assured Of this
that l determined for one minute al
least to lessen the number Of coughs
heard in a certain ward in a hospital
of the institution. By the promise Of
rewards and punishments, / succeed.
ed in inducing them to simply hold
their breath when tempted to cough
and IN a little while / was myself sur.
prised to see how some of the chill
dren entirely recovered from the dis
ease.
Constant coughing" continues the
doctor, lis precisely like scratching a
wound on the outside Of the body. So
long as it is done the wound will not
heal. Let a person, when tempted to
cough. draw a long breath and hold
it until 1t warns and soothes every air
cell, and some benefit will soon be re-
ceived from this process. The nitro.
gen which is thus refined acts as an
anodyne to the mucous membrane, al
laying the desire to cough and giving
the throat and lungs a chance to heal
At the same time, a suitable medicine
will aid Nature in her effort to recu'
perate Family Doctor.

GREATEST OF ALL MIRACLES
Nothing Yet Has Been Brought For
ward to Compare With Divine
Power Of Love.

Our latest miracle is radium. II
all previous comparisons. II is the
most valuable thing on earth. A Bit
of 1t on a pin point sends forth incon
ceivable emanations. 1t does many
services, most interesting of which IL
Its beneficent influence upon the new
scourge of mankind, cancer. What we
may expect of 1t finally, challenges the
imagination, reflects a writer in the
Woman's World.
A miracle that has become familiar
is the X-ray. By it you may see the
working of the human heart. A com
mon miracle now Is the flying ma.
chine. Man has invented wings that
sweep him higher than the birds
What can be more wonderful than the
wireless?
All these are wonderful. You may
choose any Of them as the greatest
miracle-and then you would be
wrong. For the greatest of all mir
acles Is love-just common, old-fash
toned love. A bit of it has more value
and reaches farther than radium; i,
sect through things and shows the
operations of the human heart better
than the Xray; 1t scars higher than
the flying machine; and its tunes and
silent voices annihilate distance more
m~arvelously than the wireless. In
these days electricity is in everything
that is working for progress. In these
days love is in everything that is
working for human good. 1t is not
only the greatest of the miracles but
the most active of the agencies that
are carrying forward the safety and
sanity of the race. So put together
your modern discoveries and inven'
lions, and love will outweigh them
all.

MASONIC.

With over one thousand
names upon the craft rosters OF
this city why may we not erect
a fine temple which would not
only properly accommodate our
meetings, but supply larger
conveniences for the entertain
ment of the public. This must
be done at some time. Why not
do it soon? Masonry has Ii
ways taken pride in big enter
prises and in doing big things.
The public looks to us as to no
one else for these things and
we owe it to our obligations as
well as to our traditions to full
fill the demand. If Grand Mas
ter Crews, like our first grand
master, can succeed in inspiring
such an undertaking it will
surely stand as a great monu-
ment to the zeal which he so
generously possesses and will
yield a result not only placing
his name high upon the scroll OF
leaders, but carrying a blessing
throughout years to come. with
a structure of sufficient size con-
trolled by us, it would be an
easy matter to have the Grand
Lodge permanently located in
Kansas City. This would be Ma
sonic headquarters. The trav.
cling Grand Lodge is fast going
out of style everywhere as the
brethren grow more and NOR
weary of the process. Soon
there will be a cry for a per.
manept seat and we should be
ready to supply it.

MARCHING ON

WELL! Well! Well! The eighth
wonder has materialized! Virginia
went "dry" on Tuesday by about
10000 majority Virginia. The Old
Dominion. The Bourbon of bourbons!
Famed for mint-juleps and iE-famed
for corn whiskey!. The home of Col.
Ca-a-rter and the moonshiners. Like
wise, as the event has proven, the
home of thousands of good citizens
who fear God and love their neighbors.
Hence Virginia went "dry." 1t seems
unthinkable. An assault on Virginia s
"wet" entertainments looked QuiXotic.
But the world moves and God moves
in it. The Eternal is the Unbeatable.
Hence another victory for righteous
ness.
Meantime, here and there in this
county, some faint-hear:ed and near
sighted brother, with his wish-bone
where his backbone ought to be, is
heard to think "maybe Cecil better
vote in license this time" Bah! Wake
up, neighbor. Arise and shake your
self and get in step with the Eternal
Righteousness and human progress.

THRESHING ENGINES VS.. STATE
ROADS.

A BIG test case as to the rights of
traction engines on State stone
roads was decided this week over in
Frederick county and it ought to set
tie, once and for all, the contention of
the State Road Commission that they
can keep such engines OF the roads
under the Act of 1912. Some weeks
ago six or seven owners of traction
engines were arrested for alleged VIC
lation of the Act of 1912. To test the
Act, they gave bail for their appear
ance at Court. The Grand Jury de-
clined to indict them. Then the
State Road Commission applied for
an injunction to prevent the engines
from using the State roads. The hear
ing on the application TO ran injunc-
ton occupied several days, and at its
conclusion Judges Urner and Worth
ington denied the application, the
Court holding that it would be an
injustice to prohibit such engines the
use of the roads in the prosecution of
their necessary work, unless it could
be shown that they caused some sub
stantial harmful effect to said roads.
The opinion virtually upsets the
contention of the State Roads Com
mission that the Act of 1912 is salts
factory. 1t is not and never has been.
For this reason the Legislature of
1914, after long deliberation and care
full hearing of all sides and parties,
