labor, and no doubt all of you regret
very much he was not continued in
the good work of this parish for the
last three years. But, my dear friends,
what we most desire is denied us.
Father Warren has been sent to
iother fields where the work is broader
and better suited to his capabilities in
the giving of retreats and missions.
He will engage in the spiritual exer-
cises of the raity. the Priests, and the
Religieuse. He is going to have be-
fore him many years work for which
he is so we'll suited.
"The same force that sent Father
Warren away, sent me here. | come

fee / mean by that to give you the
best that is in me. You and l must
labor together for the same cause, for

AS yesterday was the Feast of the
Lady of Perpetual Health, the new
Rector said he felt he must refer to
the occasion. To-day" he said, I'VE
celebrate day which should be of i'm
portance to each of you. Those who
have entered the service should today
promise our good Mother of devotion.
Miracles have been accomplished,
miracles of grace. by the Lady of Good
Health, but far greater is it to receive
from God through our good Mother
blessings that relieve mental rather
than physical suffering"
Father Toohey advocated prayer.
Don't put OF, he said, prayer. The
prayer does not have TO be necessarily
long. 1t may be short, but pray.
In conclusion he said he asked the
Blessed Mother to bless us, to obtain
for us a continuance in the life of
practical faith.
Father Toohey has pleasing per-
sonality, a deep, rich, resonant voice,

HOSPITAL LOT
FUND BOOSTED
BY A SURGEON
DIR. Welch, Of The Navy, Sends
Contribution Toward The
Needed Plan
ENDORSES PLAN FOR
ADDITIONAL GROUND
Says Increased Efficiency OF The
Emergency Hospital Would
Mean Much To City

The need for growth of the Annapo-
lis Emergency Hospital as provided
for in the plan to purchase additional
ground through the fund started some
time since by The Evening Capital is
vitality important, in the opinion OF
Surgeon Robert S. G. Welch, IT, S.
Navy. Surgeon Welch, who is now
with the u. S. Naval Forces in Europe,
sends the following communication,
enclosing a contribution of $1,000:
"A few days ago / received some
Evening Capitals, published the first
week in May and / was more than
glad to see that steps were being TAX
en- and a subscription list already
started, to purchase the necessary
ground for the Emergency Hospitals
maternity and contagious wards, as it
is vitality important to my mind that
the hospital should have these addi-
tions and others which it may be pos
sible to add in the future.
THE recent steps of the Advisory
Board of the hospital in endeavoring
to raise the necessary money have
certainly been taken in the proper di-
rection, as | am sure the citizens of
Annapolis will readily respond to this
worthy cause when they realize what
the increased efficiency of the hospital
will mean to the city
please accept this small contribu-
ton to the fund, which l hope is rap
idly growing.
With very best wishes for the sue
cess of this enterprise, am,
Sincerely yours,

ANOTHER ENSIGN
GETS HIS DIPLOMA

The last diploma was presented this
morning to a member of the class of
Midshipmen who graduated from the
Naval Academy on June 9Th. The re-
cipient was Gordon NJ. Jackson, ap-
pointed to the Academy from New
Jersey. Young Jackson was unable to
be present at the graduation exercises
and receive his sheepskin from the
hands of Secretary of the Navy Dam
iels on that occasion as he was suffer-
ing from scarlet fever and was patti
ent at the Naval Hospital. He has en-
tirely recovered, however, and was
presented his diploma by Rear Admi-
raj Eberle at the Administration

ARMY OF WORKMEN
ARE BUSY AT MEADE
Warehouses, A Model Dairy. And
Homes For Nurses Are Being
Erected

Building records are still being
smashed at Camp Meade in rushing the
erection of buildings needed for stor-
age, for a dairy and for the many
nurses who will get military and final
hospital training there.
As many as 100 men are working on
single building The warehouses
are needed at once for the enormous
quantity of food, equipment and ord
nance that is to be shipped Probably
a million dollars worth of new bar
racks will be erected, and in the mean
while hundreds of tents have been pro-
vided the pretty white ones that could
not be used near the front, where they
would serve only as targets. The in
crease in the army of workers recalls
the scenes of year ago, when the first
workmen arrived in trucks to build
their own barracks. Since then about
$4,000, 600 has been spent on this
contonment. More millions are now to
be spent at almost the same rates as
year ago.
Work is being rushed on a dairy
for the camp This will have an enor-
nous capacity for pasteurizing and
cooling the raw milk brought in by
farmers The raising of COWS will,
therefore, be encouraged in this sec
tion of the State. Heretofore the milk
consumed in the camp has been pas
teurized and bottle in Baltimore, thus
causing delay. Raw milk, of course.
would not be admitted until the plant
is completed. After the dairy is in
operation it is likely the milk will be-
come a greater factor in the menu. At
present the soldiers buy some at the
exchanges and some small amount is
used with the mess.

Soft crabbers these days are few

Hard crabs are now coming on and

BREAKFAST FOODS
NOT SUBSTITUTES
Oatmeal, Rolled Oats, Corn Flakes
and Rice Are Dropped From Sub
stitute Lis. Under New 1920
Wheat Flour Regulations.

Breakfast foods can no longer be
sold as substitutes with wheat flour, -
A. H. Melville, Executive Secretary for
the Wisconsin Food Administration
has said. Oatmeal, rolled oats, corn
fakes. and rice must be crossed off the
substitute list.
With the new 1920 flour regula-
tons which are now enforced, the sub
stitutes are all flours with the excep-
ton of cornmeal and rye meal and
are supposed to be mixed with the
wheat -four.
Barley -four, rice -four, corn flour
and meal, buckwheat, oat, potato and
bean flours may be sold as substitutes
in the proportion of one pound of sub
stitutes to four pounds of -four.
"As partial substitute, rye -four
or meal may be sold in the proportion
of two pounds of rye -four or meal to
three pounds of wheat -four"

$3.50 BASE PRICE SET
FOR 1919 WHEAT CROP

BY proclamation issued by the
President. $220 a bushel is set as the
minimum base price guaranteed by
the government for the 1919 wheat
crop. The price for Chicago will be
s2,26, the same as it is for the 1918
crop.
A dlsinterested commission will be
appointed next spring to see whether
the increased cost of farm labor and
supplies would justify an increase
above that price.
I'm giving a guaranteed price for
wheat one year in advance there is
= considerable risk" the president
said.
Despite this, the desirability of as
surfing a supply of breadstuffs to the
world by insuring the farmer against
the fluctuations In prices that would
result from the uncertainties of the
present situation. seems to me to
MAKE the continuation Of the guaran-
tee for another year desirable"

FAIR PRICE LISTS SPREAD
THROUGHOUT WISCONSIN
Block Profiteerlng, But Give Mer-
chants a Fair Profit.

The publication of fair price lists
turnout Wisconsin Is spreading rap
idly, and already all the Counties ex-
cept sixteen have established price
fixing committees which issue these
lists.
To know what are the fair prices
for them to pay and to keep in touch
with the weeks food rulings, house
wives should consult these lists be-
fore doing their marketing.
Merchants as well as the house
wives are benefited by the fair price
lists. They protect them from unfair
competition OF INSCRIPTIONS mer-
chants who profit from the hard con
ditions of war times. and they give
them fair profit while explaining
their prices to the people This frees
them from any charge OF profiteering.
By the publication of these lists,
prices all over the country will be
stabilized. With a fairly free flow OF
transportation, prices can be main
tanned at reasonable level

SALES OF CANDY ARE
LIMITED TO ONE POUND

The decision to urge the public TO
limit its purchases of candies and
chocolates to one pound at any one
time and to confne its aggregate pur-
chases to one-half its usual consump-
ton was adopted by the Executive
Committee of the National Confec-
TONERS Association at their meeting
at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York
In order to cooperate with the sugar
saving efforts of the Food Administra-
ton.
The present scarcity of sugar and
the curtailment of the confectioners'
allotment to so per cent of the guam
tity used during the corresponding
period last year made the adoption of
this measure advisable
The restriction does not apply to
the purchase of candies and chocolate
for shipment to men and women in
the Service.
Packages on hand, filed and ready
for delivery which contain more than
one pound may be sold if the dealers
agree to discontinue selling them in
the future.
