A Symbol Of Health.

The Pythagorians of Ancient Greece
ate simple food, practiced temperance
and purity. As badge they used the
five pointed star which they regarded as
a symbol of health. A red five pointed
star appears on each package of Cham
berlain's Tablets, and still fufills its an
Gent nilsson as symbol of health. If
you are troubled with indigestion, bilious
ness or constipation, get package of
these tablets from your druggist. You

Maryland Quota $4,000.
This Number Likely to be Draft
ed For Army of 100000.


According to Adjutant- General Henry
M. Warfeld, no one, except possibly {
few insiders at Washington, knows how
the selective CONSUMPTION law will be ap
piled in determining the number of mer
each state shall supply. General War
field said he was unable to make pre-
diction.
Further, he did not know whether the
State would be called upon to recruit its
National Guard up to war strength, in
addition to furnishing the quota for the
new army to be raised. General War.
field estimated that about 5000 men
would be needed to put the National
Guard regiments on war basis as to
numbers and to build up the reserve
battalions.
However, while General Warfield was
in the dark as to the method of applying
the CONSUMPTION law in raising the new
army, and consequently as to the number
of men Maryland will be required to fur
nish, number of estimates were made
Monday. OF the more plausible, one was
based upon the relation which Maryland's
population bears to that of the entire
country, and the other upon the assump-
ton that the Federal authorities will re-
quire quotas from the Congressional dis
tricts rather than from the states, an
assumption which is believed by many to
be we'll founded.
Under the first of these methods of
estimating, it was found that Maryland's
population, approximately 1900, 900, is
about one seventy-first part of the popu-
lation of the United States at the last
census, that of 1910, which gives it as
about $4,000 200. If Maryland were re-
quired to raise one seventy-first part of
an army of 1000, 900 men, her quota
would be approximately $4,000 men. Of
course, if the army were 500, 900, her
quota would be 1000 men.
Under the second of these methods of
estimating. that based upon the Con-
gressional districts, it was found that
there are 435 districts, 80 that for an
army of 1000, 900 men, each district
would raise approximately $500 men;
and as there are six Congressional dis
tricts in Maryland, the States quota
would be 1890, virtually the same num-
Der as was estimated under the first
method of computation.

Hail Hits Baltimore City.
Garden Plants And Shrubbery
Damaged Considerably.

Damaged Considerably.
Mr.. Grayson Fogle, an employee of the
w. M. Railroad residing at this place,
reported heavy hail storm in Baltimore
Tuesday afternoon. About noon light
rain fell in Thurmont, heavy thunder be-
ing heard in the distance. Frederick
city had two thunder gusts that after
noon. Regarding the hail storm the Bal
timore Sun says:
"Hailstones three fourths of an inch
in diameter pelted down upon the city in
q torrential rainstorm that materialized
and was gone again in 20 minutes Tues
day afternoon.
1.-THE hail poured down at first from
seemingly clear sky. It was like the rat
tie of shrapnel. The stones were as large
as cherries, and they played rat-a-tat
on cars, teams and automobiles. They
rolled about the streets, looking like
food of mothballs. Within another half
minute the rain "broke", sending DEL
uge and driving everyone to cover. And
for the next ID or 16 minutes the rain
dropped In torrents,
There was no accompanying wind
and the rain and hsilstones fell straight,
causing little or no damage to windows.
But scores of horses were made frantic
by the pelting of the huge hailstones,
and one team plunged away, throwing
the driver to the ground. The wheels
passed over his leg and broke it.
1.-THE hailstones grew larg and larger
each minute, until wh.n they struck the
sidewalks and flattened they seemed al
most as large as guinea eggs. Some
wonderful tales will be told generation
hence of the "big ones" that fell May l,
1917.
Reports from many sections of the
city indicated that gardens suffered seri
GUS damage from the barrage of hail.
Young plants, especially those trans
planted from hot boxes, we uprooted
and bowled over and general havoc was
wrought. Pear, peach and plum BIOS
SONS were struck from the trees"

Sea Gives Up Eatables.

Early strollers on the beaches as
far north as Belmar recently recOv-
cred from the surf enough food to stock
country grocery, says a Sea Girt,
N. Y, dispatch to the New York Times.
The flotsam included canned goods
Of many sorts, but mostly tomatoes
and asparagus; one man carried home
three tubs of good butter and many
clothesbaskets full of lemons, all Of
which were fresh and hard. Submarine
activity was secuted as a cause for the
pickings, but one guess as to their
origin was that some vessel, a warship
or possibly big yacht, returning from
a long cruise had passed up the coast
and her crew had emptied the harder
overheard so as to be certain of absO-
lutely fresh provisions when next they
put to sea.

SHORE BIRDS ARE MYSTERY
Less Is Known About Their Breeding
Haunts and Habits Than Of Any
Other Festhered Tribe.

Swift and tireless of flight, late in
May, the hordes Of migrant shore
birds are gone as suddenly as they
appeared. No one sees them go prob
ably the start is in the evening. But
by the time we miss them they may be
thousand miles farther TO the north
that is, when they have really decid-
ed to be on the move. Previously they
may have fed leisurely along from
beach to beach, and marsh to marsh,
recuperatlng from their long flight
across southern seas. But now the ver-
nal influence sounds the clarion call,
and they forthwith strike the real liml-
coline pace.
Where do they go? Less is known
about the breeding-haunts and habits
of this mysterious tribe than Of any
other in the system Of OrnithOlogy.
While a very few Of the species linger
on our southern coasts, the great mass
of them to push on for the far north.
Nor do the bulk of them stop till they
are where the curiosity of man can
seldom disturb their privacy. The eggs
and nesting habits of a number of
these species are hardly known to SCI
ence. Their summer home is the bar
rem ground around the Arctic sea. In
the damp moss near some pool upon
the cold ground still frozen under
meath, in the early part of June they
scratch a slight hollow, build rude,
frail nest Of grass and lay four eggs,
pyriform or pear-shaped, drab colored
and heavily blotched with black or
brown.-All Outdoors.

italy IONS Timber Reserves.

To provide the necessary timber for
the use of the army since the war be-
gan, recourse has been made to the
immense forests of Sila in Calabria,
southern Italy. Before the war the
country imported two-thirds of the tim
Der required annually for the use of
the civil population from abroad, prin-
cipally from Austria, and no small
problem was presented to the author
tiles by the necessity Of providing the
enormous quantity Of timber needed
for the miles of trenches and for all
the temporary buildings which have
been erected behind the front. Com
mittees We're set up to devise metho-
dical system by which, in all the woods
anywhere near the zone of the war all
cutting down should be done that was
possible without complete deforesta-
tion.. To further the telling of the
timber In the forest of Sila roads have
been cut and quantities of machinery
set up. II is expected that the district
will provide about 35OO0.0OO more
cubic feet of timber this year than In
normal times. a4rl.

GROWING in the Mind.

said Lamb, that is just what yor

even though we may not be able tc
do the work of a great genius, we
may count upon growth in strength
and breadth of mind. You can dc
with your mind today what you could
not do five years ago. If you will
give your mind an opportunity to
grow by hard, honest, faithful, severe
work, you will be able to do much
more five years from now than you
are able to do today. If your mind
becomes poisoned with low ideals
with poor literature, with wrong con-
ceptiOns of life, you may as well ex-
pect it to grow, as to expect a plant
to grow in your garden when you
have allowed every sort of plant en-
envy to burrOw about the roots and

WASTED A CARLOAD OF FOOD
Dealers Dumped Radishes Into Sea In
Order to Keep Up Prices,
II Is Claimed.

Because food dealers in this town
did not find it convenient to handle
carload of fresh food, the food is now
floating out to sea as refuse from
garbage dump, says the New York
Mail.
Before the dealers threw away this
food they made an effort to have the
health department condemn it. The de-
partment refused. 1t found the food
perfectly sound and fit for use.
The particular carload of food con-
sisted of 1917 baskets of radishes.
Radishes are retailing for from 5 to
cents a bunch.
In this case either the radishes
could be passed on to the city's mar
kets at a slightly reduced price or
they could be destroyed.
If passed on they would have the eff
feet of clearing down" the price of the
more attractive produce, so they were
wasted and the prices kept at a high
level. 49,
