Need Men For Navy.

Despite the fact that the operation
of the Selective Draft Law has consid-
erably diminished the number of young
men available, enlistments in the Navy
from Maryland place this State we'll
up in the ranks of the Eastern Naval
District.
Lieutenant nj. A. Leahy, Navy Re
cruiting Officer for the Maryland Dis
trict, is somewhat disappointed, how
ever, with the more recent results, and
believes the falling off in applicants
is due largely to the erroneous i'm
preston that the Navy's complement
has been filled. Lieutenant Leahy is
anxious to correct this impression.
There is still need of several thous-
and more recruits before the Navy
will be completely filled to it's recent
ly authorized strength of 100000 men.
The ratings in which men are need
ed most urgently are apprentice sea-
men, ffremen, cooks, bakers and mess
attendants.
Full particulars of Navy enlistments
can be obtained from the nearest post
master; directly from the Navy Re
cruiting Station, Calvert and Licking
ton streets, Baltimore, or from the
Navy Recruiting Sub-stations at Cum
berland and HagerstoWn.

The Lend-a-Hand Book Club.

The poem written by Rostand, early
in the war told of a German reaching
up and cutting the stars out OF the
American flag, hoping thereby that he
might destroy the idealism for which
our Nation stands. When the night
wind came and, the desecrated flag
lifted it's folds in the breeze showed
through its torn fold the very stars Of
the heavens, how much more hope
and courage were born within the
breasts of it's followers.
The president Of the Lend-a-Hand
Book Club is much gratitied to know
of the generous response of members
and friends of the club for money and
material to be used for the Red Cross
work There is born in their hearts
the truest idealism in holding out a
helping hand to the suffering soldiers,
and having a substantial check for DIR.
Lewis K Woodward, to place to the
credit of Carroll county's allotment,
of $4,000.
Our flag is inverted with a new
glory as it is born on the battlefield
of Europe. For three years the suf-
fering women and children have had
the bodies of their loved ones as a
parapet against the foe, and when or
flag is carried through the streets OF
Paris, 10, the children kneel !

Cheerful Words.
For Many a Westminster Household.

To have the pains and aches of a
bad back removed-to be entirely free
from annoying, dangerous urinary dis
orders, is enough to make any kidney
sufferer grateful. The following ad-
vice of one who has suffered will
prove helpful to hundreds of Westmin-
ster readers.
Mrs. Charles Helderbridle, Carroll
St, Westminster, says: About two
years ago I had a very bad case of
backache. The sharp pains that shot
through the small of my back felt like
the thrust of a knife. | was bothered
very much during the night. The
kidney secretions we're unnatural and
l was in terrible shape. At last
friend told me of Doan's Kidney Pills
and 7 got box at Moore's Drug Store.
After using them I found great relief.
Doan's Kidney Pills are a fine kidney
medicine and should be used by all
kidney sufferers"

THE REAL VALUE OF
A CHAUTAUQUA TICKET.
From the Kenton (O.) News
Republican.

An editoria! in the Kemton (OD News
Republican regarding the Hardin
County ChautaUQua among many other
good points had the following to say:
"Reme1uhcr when you spend money
for a chautauuua ticket YOU are invest
ing in something that brings dividends,
Education is the best purchase that
money can buy.
Eyes. we know what so many say
about needing the time for business
and all that. But remember that All
business and no relaxation makes real
estate valuable in the graVeyardS. too.
because people who never relax col
lapse before their time.
'Thp average man spends more tof
cigars within two weeks than 1t costs
to purchase chautauqua ticket which.
would enable him to see and hcHI
some Of the most noted men and ""
men in America men and women VIE.
are shaping the public opinion of ON
nation and who are making history.
How much would most of us glad
lv give if we could hear Beechcr. q,
Cough. or Wendell Phillips. or the
great Father Vaughan. who died lit
tie while ago at Dubuque? When yor
spend your money for a circus you
spend 1t for something which gives yoH
a few thrills maybe, but that is about
all. When you spend the little money
asked for a chautauqua ticket You
have something left in your brain and
heart that will glow and make of You
nObler and more enlightened, more
efficient citizen"
