DEAR BRETHREN:

DEAR BRETHREN:
Sunday, September goth. has been
set apart as a day Of memorial TO the
Soldiers OF Maryland who have givea

sense adequate TO manifest our graft

We can. however. at least gather 10
gether. and in some measure express 20
our State and Nation how deeply we
feel our losses, and how sincerely we
regard our eense OF obligation. Let US
exemplify both by action and words
that the memory OF their heroism 10
always with us. and above all let Ms
10 upon record that we are standing
solidly behind those who are now tight
ing. and that these boys who have al
ready passed TO the beyond have not
died in vain Were II necessary ]
would say more. but ! cannot think
that any OF our people would need
further urging 10 make this day

The bathtub distinction belongs to Adam Thompson.

1872 That Is set forth In technical magazine which has
come to our desk and At adds;
"The installation OF the bathtub in Mr.. Thompsons
home and the actual OF II for winter bathing caused
widespread publicity and the newspapers devoted their
columns to violent discussions OF It.
Certain patriots stated that this typN Of bathing was
degenerate luxury designed corrupt the democratic
simplicity OF the republic The medical fraternity de-
nounced It as dangerous health and found to result
in phhisc rheumatic fevers Inflammation the lungs
and the whole category Of zymotlc diseases.
Legislation reflected the public feeling.
''The Philadelphia Common Council late in is43 con-
sdered an ordinance prohibiting bathing between Noyem-
Der and March IS and failed Of passage by only two
votes.
During the same year the legislature of Virginia
laid tax Of $50 year on all bathtubs.
Boston early in 1915 made bathing unlawful except
upon medical advice but the ordinance was never en-
forced and in 1862 It was repealed.
president Millard Fillmore installed the first bath
tub in the White House in 1851.
This action broke down practically all prejudice
with the result that by 1860 every hotel in New York
had one bathtub and some had two and even three.
In view Of the prominent place the bath, public and
private had held for many centuries in the esteem OF
Egyptians Greeks Romans and other nationals in the
Old World surprising that this country was so slow
in adopting IL and that it should have TO surmount so
many legislative and other difficulties before finally
establishing itself firmly in public approval.

LoofeFs at Odds
from thc New York Trlbune)

To the victor belongs the spoils. But
the rub comes when there are several
victors. Human nature makes the al
loimeut Of booty among the partners
in interest a very dangerous process.
Turkey and Bulgaria have fallen out
over the disposition OF the territory
surrendered by Rumanla as the price OF
peace In the Reichslag Saturday For
eign Secretary Won Kuhlmann admitted
the seriousness of the clash. "The
question Of the Dobrudia," he said, "or
OF the compensation due TO Turkey, if
this question is settled in the Bulgar-
ian sense, has in a high degree excited
public opinion.in both countries, which
are looking with keen attention for
every expression Of the Central
Powers"
Won Kuhlmann was foresighted
enough to stipulate when the Ruman-
ian treaty was drawn that the Do
brudja should pass into the control
not of Bulgaria, but of the Quadruple
Alliance. Dissatisfaction with this SET
tlement has forced a change Of min
1stry at Sofia. The northern DObrudia
was taken from Bulgaria and given to
Rumania by the Treaty Of Berlin, at
the close of the, RussO-Turkish War.
The southern strip was annexed when
Bulgaria was overwhelmed in the Sec
ond Balkan War. All this territory is
Bulgarian. The Bulgarian government
is demanding its restoration just as We

be equipped with telling arguments in making house

II there is one thing easy TO do it's finding reasons
for investing in Thrift and War Savings Stamps.
To begin with, there more than 100000 reasons
In khaki cover there"
There are millions Of equally good reasons in train
ing at cantonments in the u. S A.
There are hundreds of thousands OF reasons in blue

There are thousands of reasons flying through the
air They are the which will play the deuce with

There are as many there are stars on
service flags in the millions Of American homes,
Than these the human mind cannot think Of more
potent reasons for investing in War Savings Stamps,
which is nothing or less than backing with our
savings our who fight battles for safety and
independence
Any one Of those boys is reason enough for any
American acquiring the Thrift stamp habit.
