suffer from thirsts, because it is only
in Baltimore that they can nowadays
quench their aforementioned thirsts
is the action of the Baltimore Hotel
keepers who yesterday discussed at
length the approaching wave.
1t was the consensus of opinion that
national prohibition would soon be
here, and that the only thing that
could be done was to wait until it
comes and then make the best of it,
There will be no question as to the
obedience of the law by the hotel men,
when it comes.
The ice-cream subject was also dis
cussed, but no definite action was
taken either ON that or on the prohibi.
ton matter. The scarcity of good no

consideration That situation is now

TOBACCO EMBARGO is
SLIGHTLY MODIFIED

The recent embargo placed against
the receipt at the Maryland State To-
bacco Warehouses in Baltimore, where
in shipments from lower Anne Arun-
del wharves were barred for the time
being. has been lifted to some de-
gree.
The warehouse officials decided to
accept daily a limited number of hogs
heads until this congestion has been
removed. The French government
officials have been tout of the market
for the last several days This is due,
it is said, to the inability to ship to-
bacco abroad. Their absence from the
market, however, is generally thought
to be only temporary. The best to-
bacco is bringing today AZ cents a
pound, a much lower figure than the
product has been selling for.

AN APPEAL

At a recent meeting of the Ladies'
Cemetery Association, it was decided
to make an appeal to the lot holders
in the City Cemeteries who have not
paid for the care of their lots for the
current year, urging them to pay at
their earliest convenience, and also to
ask the lot holders in general to make
an extra contribution in order to
carry on the work during the remain
der of the season.
Owing to the high cost of labor, the
Association has used all funds avail
able for that purpose. The ladies
earnestly beg for the cooperation of
all who have their dear ones laid in
that sacred spot.
