you feel rundown and worn out, nc
matter what the cause, is to take some
thing just as quick as you can to build

more comfortable and provide against
serious sickness.

medicine made that will do as much to-

cine that gets right at the trouble, and
relieves it by toniDg the nerves, en-.
riching the blood, and giving new
strength and health to the whole body
1t doesn't do this by means of alcohol
or habit-forming drugs, because it con-
tains none. Its strength and healthgiving
power is due to pure Olive Oil and the

ing plan by officials of the Ford Motor

plan will be followed out annually. The

Henry Ford, no employee over the age of
twenty-five years will be paid less than

ceiye that amount. The lowest wage
paid up to last week was $2.3i a day.
The working hours were reduced the past
week from nine hours to eight hours.

started an innovation in the way of
scouting parties. These are weekly
jaunts over the unbeaten lines of travel
throughout the state. with the veterans
of the game acting leaders and guides.
In this way the members hope to pene-
trate into UNEMPLOYED sections and see a
part of the state lying away from the big
roads and bouevards. The first trip
brought forth much enthusiasm and the
boys are looking forward to many de-
Ifs htful journeys during the coming year.
1t has been voted by the club to adopt
an emblem in the form of an enamel de-
sign to be carried on the machines of
members. 1t will be three and half
inches in diameter and vii be construct
ed so as to be easily fastened to a ma
chine. The colors will be orange and

at the 5th Regiment Armory in connec-
ton with the automobile exhibition Janu-
airy 20 to a. The dealers are planning
to make this the best exhibition of motor

dications are that every local dealer will

The Maryland Motor Cycle Club is now
in the midst of warm campaign for
the election of officers. Nominations have
been closed and the election will be held
this month. All of the present officers
have been nominated to succeed them
selves, and they. with many new aspir-
ants. are hustling for votes.
The club has gone on record as being
opposed to the new license tag. the con-
tenton being made that it extends too
far across the mud guard. where it must
be placed. 1t is claimed that it will tear
the clothes of the rider, and that in case
of a fall the tag itself would be de-
stroyed.
