BASED ON ANCIENT CUSTOM
Superstition Regarding Seeing the New
Moon Through Glass Is Older
Than Christianity.

sDon't see the new moon through
glass;" thousands of people are just
now saying The superstition is based
on a custom older than Christianity,
and enduring in places, travellers may
tell Us. TO this day. says the London
Chronicle. The Jews had no real cal.
endar, but depended for the Inaugural
ton of the feasts of trumpets, which
began with the advent of the new
moon, upon actual observance of the
crescent. Jews watched, with reward
in view. for the coming Of the new
moon. as our sailors watch for the ap-
pearance OF a periscope. Immediately
they saw it they hied them to the high
priest at Jerusalem. They were per-
mitted to travel even on the Sabbath
for the purpose. Now the testimony
must be not only that of men of repu-
tation; II must be that of men who had
seen the phenomenon with the naked
eye. The appearance Of the moon must
not be noted as reflected in a stream.
nor through clouds, nor through glass
That vitiated the value of testimony
and precluded possibility of reward.
Travellers from the East. possibly CRU
saders, brought the story To the West.
where 1t remains ''unlucky" TO see the
new moon through glass.

When the Railroad Came.

In Thomas Bailey Aldrich's remiuis-
cent account of his birthplace, IAN Old
Town by the Sea-" he remarks that the
first train over the Eastern railroad
from Boston TO Portsmouth "ran over
and killed-local character" Till then
Portsmouth had been a happily Sc
Guided community, with the courage Of
its seclusion. To many of its inhab-
itants, content In their isolation, Bos-
ton was thousands of miles distant in
effect, although only So miles away by
geographic measurement. Their Ports
mouth was the center Of their earth,
and the invasion of a railroad with its
daily trains brought within their bor-
ders undesirable stir and hustle and
unwelcome visitors. The entrance of
the railroad train was in fact the be-
ginning Of new era for Portsmouth.

SOME GOOD ADVICE
Strengthened By Annapolis Expert

ences
Kidney disease 10 too dangerous to
neglect. At the first sign of back
ache, headache. dizziness or urinary
disorders, you should give the weak
ened kidneys prompt attention. Eat
little meat. take things easier and use
q reliable kidney tonic. There no
other medicine so we'll recommended
as Doan's Kidney Pills. Annapolis
people rely on them. Here's one of
the many statements from Annapolis
people.
Mrs. ". Hodson, 20 Holland st. An
napolis. says: 1.-TWO years sgo l had
terrible pains in the small of my back
and the attacks were so severe that |
was confined to bed for q month
hardly able to move. The bottom o.
my feet were badly swollen and my
sight was SO blurred could hardly
read. The kidney secretions gave me
no end Of annoyance too and / was
more tired in the morning than when
I went to sleep. Reading of Doan's
Kidney Pills got a box at Green't
Drug Store. This medicine broughs
quick relief and two boxes cured me. :"

The "cork Convent"

A striking curiosity near Cintra,
Portugal. says a writer in the Wide
World, Is an ancient convent built
partially in the interior Of an immense
rock. The convent is situated in
very isolated spot and was formerly
surrounded by a dense wood of cork
trees. The convent is known as the
Convento da Cortica, or "Cork Con-
vent" for the reason that the monks
cells, chapel. kitchen and refectory are
all lined with cork to keep out the
damp. From 1860 TO 1884 the convent
was inhabited by an order of monks
known as the Capuchians a remarka-
BILE feature of their religion being that,
except on certain occasions, silence
was obligatory. Since 1884, when the
monasteries and converts of Portugal
were dissolved, the convent has not
been occupied, though 1t is open to
the public, a caretaker residing there
for this purpose.

WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 80. 1918.
STAND By THE PRESIDENT AND
SECRETARY BAKER

At this time when it was at least
understood that the Congress OF these
United States was solidly back OF
the President and the Administration,
there come accusations from certain
quarters that the War Department is
inefficient and has fallen down.
These accusation may be more or
less true, but we do not think II Is
the right time to make material
changes, unless there 10 shown a
lack of good faith. This is q time
above all other that the whole coun-
try should stand together as one; a
time when red tape and methods and
party factions should be relegated TO
the back ground. We should not for
get the force OF the fact that q house
divided against itself cannot stand"
What the country needs now are re-
suits not wrangles and red tape II
such dissensions and wranglings con-
tinue as are now going on 1t can
only result in serious injury to the
country and delay the great prepara-
lions that are now going on.
II would hardly be possible for the
War Department to muster q million
men into the service without making
some mistakes. In fact, Secretary
Baker admits that mistakes have
been made. but he has explained the
circumstances and conditions under
which these mistakes were made
which shows that he has done every
thing that anyone could have done,
and ct least that he is not guilty Of
malfsasance, and instead OF accusing
him OF bad faith and ineficiency he
ought to be encouraged.
There have been many comments
concerning the charges and the
Sscrstary's replies thereto. and the
questions have been put sQuarely be-
fore the people and we have q perfect
right now to pronounce Judgment,
but in judging let's be just.
vice-President Marshall in COM
menting upon the questions, says:
Hands or and hand with the Presi-
dent II It is of any interest to you,

away from the Chief
Of the Army and Navy OF the United
States his constitutional powers. to
force upon him any oficial whom he
may not ask for In the prosecution OF
the war. only tends to useless pub
lie discussion. and further adds to the
difficulties OF an already overburden-
cd faithful leader of the people.
"If could not trust Woodrow VIII
son to periodically and persistently
and successfully prosecute this war.
would not know whom among the
personal and political critics of the
President to place my confidence In .
We have confidence In the Admins
tration and will stand by the Presi-
dent and Secretary Baker.

And she really does not perceive
that what she is doing has not requir-
ed the slightest sacrifice on her part
In fact. she sometimes wonders how
she ever managed TO get along with
just the stupid -home-boys" before
the war
These are only few examples of
people who are camouflaging their
conscience
Now all the things mentioned are in
themselves worth while, but unless
the doing Of them requires real sacri-
fee, we are slackers
The time has passed when we can
be content with just doing our "bit."
We must do our "all" And there is
one thing in the province of all, that
no matter what else We are doing for
the country. We must do. This is to
save food.
Now whatever way you look at il,
saving food means sacrifice For
those who have been in the habit o.
overeating, it means great deal to
do with less food now There are
some OF us who all our lives have
been in the custom OF having bacon
every morning, meat twice a day.
wheat bread at all meals. and thick
layers of sugar on our fruit and
cereal To do without these things
now means more OF sacrifice than
we had at first thought when we
signed the food pledge. And it takes
extra planning and care for the
housekeeper to use other cereals in
stead OF wheat, and less meat, fats
and sugar in her cooking. Yes. saw
ing food means a personal sacrifice
not made once, but three times day.

CAMOUFLAGING OUR
CONSEQUENCES.

Are you really making some sacri-
fee TO help win this war. or are you
eafoufaging your conscience and
making yourself believe you are q
real patriot when In reality you have
not experienced even the beginning
of sacrifice?
1t is so easy to deceive ourselves.
II bought ten thousand dollars
worth of Liberty Bonds" Mrs. Jones
exclaims with the proud air OF one
who has made a big sacrifice for the
sake of her country.
Now in many cases the buying OF
this number of bonds, even the pur-
chase of single bond has meant
real sacrifice. But Mrs. Jones knew
in her heart that she had bought
these bonds simply because the in
vsstment was q convenient and safe
one.
Again. Mrs. Smith loses no oppor-
tunity to tell you that she is just
finishing here eleventh sweater, and
as for helmets and mufiers-well. she
has lost count OF the number she has
knitted.
Now. OF course, Mrs Smith can
justly be proud OF such . record
But as II happened, it required no
sacrifice whatsoever. She had plenty
OF leisure and she enjoyed knitting
Before the war she knitted bright
colored sweaters. The only differ
ence the war has made to her Is that
now she knits with khaki colored and
navy blue yarn.
And what are you doing for the
war;" someone asks pretty young
Bettina. who lives in q small town
near O contonment.
"Oh ! help to cheer up the SOL
diers," Bettina replies. I'VE give
dances for them every Wednesday

willing to sacrifice everything for
her country IL = Stacker" Bsttina
