How to Stay a erudse.

Il forgaye you once, and won't for
give you again. This is what we
heard one brother say to another whe
had unwittingly broken his chisel for
the second time. He would not listen
to an explanation You shall not use
another of my TOOLS he continued.
The next day he wanted to borrow a.
book from that brother But. before
he asked for it he remembered he had
said he would not lend his tools any
more. He said to himself: "Well, I
don't care if I did. He owes me
something for breaking. the tool, so /
viii just ask for the book" And he
did. Certainly you can have it and
keep it as long as you want it, !" replied
the brother without one bit of grudge
in his heart. The effect was good, for
the very next day he asked his brother
to 60 with him into the tool room. and
there he said, lyon can use any of
them If you wish, only please be care
full not to break them" The grudge
had disappeared. Christian Herald.

with him only once, Z he said. .He
wrote life of Alfred for the Diction-

Now, as Freeman was never tired of
asserting the infallibility Of Stubs, I
innocently thought that might take

blasphemed Stubs and refused to CO.

The Habit Of Taking Cold.

With many people taking cold is
a habit, but fortunately one that is
easily broken. Take a cold sponge
bath every morning when you first
get out of bed not ice cold, but a
temperature of about 80 degrees F..
Also sleep with your window up.
Do this and you will seldom take
cold When you do take cold take
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and
get rid of it as quickly as possible.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY MEETS.


The General Assembly of Mary
land convened in biennial session
on Wednesday, Jan. 5, and the
legislative squabble is now on.
Cecil county is represented in the
Senate by Frank K. Williams, Of
Elkton, and in the House of Dele,
gates by E. Nelson James, Of
Rising Sun; Elwood Balderston, of
Colora; John w. BouchelIe, Of
Chesapeake City.
Goyernor-elect Emerson G. Har-
rington will be inangurated next
week and will have many difficult
problems confronting him when he
takes the Executive chair.
The Legislature is pledged to an
economy program, and good one
would be tocut the length Of SEES
sion in half, so that there would be
less time to waste and charge up to
the tax payer. just as much work
could be accomplished in half the
length Of time, as ever has been
turned out in a so day session.
Among the many legislative
problems with which the General
Assembly is expected to wrestle
are: Submission State wide pro-
hibition to vote of the people.
Amending the primary election
laws by which expenses Of candi
dates will be reduced and the
envelope system in the counties
abolished.
Hunt for new sources of public
revenue with which to meet the
constantly growing expenses Of the
State.
Creation OF a conservation com
mission IN which will be combined
the shellfish Commission, Fish
Commission and oyster navy,
several bureaus and subdepart
ments.
Creation Of a State Board Of
Agriculture.
Reform of public school system
along lines laid down by the forth
coming survey conducted by the
General Educational Board.
Creation Of budget system, by
which it is proposed to lodge in the
governor the power to frame all
general bills carrying approprias
tions, which cannot be increased
by the Legislature except in cases
of dire emergencies. BY this in
novation the powers Of the govern,
or will be greatly enlarged.
Creation of an additional loan
probably 81, OOO. 900 with which to
/. complete the system of improved
highways as projected and to build
necessary bridges.
Better system in making appro
priations for institutions supported
wholly or in part BY the state, in
Guiding colleges, academies and
other schools, reformatories. hos!
pitfalls, dependent insane.
The legislative session will mark
the passing and the coming of new
systems. The horde OF useless EN-
ployees Of the legislature will be
diminished. The mass of local
legislation will be materially re
duced through the operation of
the new amendent to the Con
stitution providing for a greater
degree of home rule and through
the budget system, under which
the governor will frame a bill
carrying all appropriations, the
total Of the several items to be kept
within the income of the state.

every other waterway and harbor
in the land-and the Senator who led
the filibuster against the River and
Harbor bill of 1916 tried to cut o1t
the whole appropriation for the Ohio
and stop the work entirely.
"Recent dispatches from Ger
many state that, although the rail-
ways are given over almost entirely
to military use, a thriving commerce
is being carried on with Switzerland,
Holland, Denmark, Norway and
Sweden over the network of water
ways which reaches every part of
the empire. Because we have failed
to develop and use our waterways
the people of the United States have,
within the past few weeks, been
brought face to face with the por-
tentous fact that, just as long as we
depend solely on one method of
transportation, our commercial pros
perity, our national existence, our
very lives may be imperiled by a
dispute over wages, hours, and con-
ditons Of employment.
"No lesson is more clearly taught
by the anxious days Of the recent
past than that the work of improving
our natural waterways and joining
them into a great, connected system,
should be pushed with all possible
speed it should be made sure
beyond all peradventqre that the
needed appropriations can neither
be Burton-ized nor Carter-ated."
