Defense League Asks Aid.
Lend Encouragement And Give
Your Money.

On Monday evening of this week a
meeting was held at the Community Club
Room by Red Cross Defense League
members. The meeting was presided
over by Mrs. Charles Waters. A num-
Der of new members were added which
augurs we'll for the Thurmont unit.
On Thursday afternoon, May Oath, at
8 o'clock, at the Community Room, a
meeting will be held to hear Mrs. Geo.
Birely of Frederick, tell of the work we
are expected to do, and we will have an
opportunity to see the full equipment of
such articles as our unit is to make up.
We hope the ladies of the town will be
present to see these articles.
Every woman can do her bit in this
cause. Our women are busy ones with
their home cares, but surely are just as
capable-and let US hope as patriotic-as
those of surrounding towns. who are Gre
ating units for Defense League work or
Red Cross. We can, and should, give OF
our time, if only small fraction. Those
who find it impossible to be present at all
meetings, or do active work, can do as
much in spirit by simply giving what
money they can spare in helping to pur-
chase material with which we are to make
up garments.
A simple fee of Is cents is all each
member is taxed. Any larger amounts
will be acceptable and will be voluntary,
only. We have received one quite gen.
erous contribution from gentleman as
a nucleus from which to start Not only
the women of our town. but all the men,
old and young, can help by lending their
encouragement and giving their money
please don't get that clause backward).
All the organizations of the town, such
as lodges, the Grange, ETC., can help
nightly in backing us up financially, to
aid US in preparing comforts for the SOL
diers. Our own boys and men may be
among those whom these articles of wear
ing apparel will benefit.
The Board of Commissioners can do
their part as body in lending US the
Town Hall on occasions, free of charge,
when we want it for giving an enter
tainment for patriotic purposes or rails
ing money for the cause.
We ask for all the help you, as COM
munity, can give from now on.
We wish to thank Maj Castle and the
Board of Control, who so generously ten
dered Us the use of the Community Room
for our meetings and sewing. Also Mr..
James Firor for the unrestricted use of
The CLARION in presenting our needs.
All is fully appreciated.
Actual work will start next week.
As many as can, please come.

The three magistrates of Frederick
were kept busy hearing cases. Motorists
apparently pay but little heed to the
State laws and take all sorts of chances
on not being picked up for violation Of
the same.
Frederick city is not the only place the
law is violated, but it is one place where
the law is strictly enforced and to which
owners of cars 60 and disregard the law.
Should Mr.. Baughman come to Thur
mont on most any Saturday night, it il
difficult to figure how much might be
collected in the way of fines. And should
the Board of Commissioners and the
town constable get busy and not leave
violators 20 unmolested, the town re-
ceipts would be increased to q great ex-
tent.

laws but care not So why not get some

A KEOKUK CURE
FOR HAY FEVER
keokuk Lawyer Has a Bright Idea,
Born of Necessity, and Works
it Out With Unusual Re-
suits High in the Aair.

Keollk as an excellent resort for
hay fever sufferers Is suggested by
the experience of a lawyer who has
discovered that he does quite as well
here as in the far north during the
autumnal hay fever season.
For twenty-six consecutive years,
w. G. Blood has been driven to Mich
igan, or other northern summer re-
sorts about this time on account OF
his severe hay fever attacks. This
year 1t was especially inconveD!eG:
for him to leave home when his nose
and eyes began to inflame and his
lungs began to go on strike. He
staid here until his condition became
rather serious and then put into ef-
feet an idea that had come TO him
last winter. Sticking to the office
and home until the suffering and loss
of sleep for several nights had near
ly worn him out, he went down to
the Hotel Iowa, took a room on the
top floor and telephoned home for
his suit case and some reading mat.
ter. In a few hours he was much
better and that night had a long,
deep, fine sleep. Since then, he has
been attending to business during
office hours and keeping to his high
room the rest of the time and is
free from his hay fever.
The idea is, that instead of going
several hundred miles northward to
get out Of the zone Of hay fever weed
pollen, it Is just as we'll to go seven
or more stories upward, above the
line where the plant pollen and dust
Is blown. The plan works perfectly
in the case Of it's inventor, and it
leaves him close to home and at
tending to business.
Keokuk may have hay fever col.
ony next year.
