WHAT cATARRR IS

Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates general weakness of
the body and local treatments in the
form of snuffs and vapors only irritate
and do little if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat
its cause by enriching your blood with
the oil-food in SCOTS Emulsion which
is a medicinal food and a building
tonic, free from any harmful drugs.
1t is helping thousands. Try it.

LETTERS FROM SONS
ASSURE THEIR SAFETY

There is every reason to belivee
that the 115th Infantry, to which be-
long nearly all of the Annapolis boys
who left here last summer as mem
bers Of the National Guard, returned
from the advanced line to a rest
camp 200 miles from the front about
October 18th, after 81 days of contin-
uous service in the advanced line, dur
ing which they engaged in the hottest
kind of fighting, and with the most
pronounced success. In one day, it is
stated, the regiment captured 5000 of
the enemy.
Among the soldiers who have writ
ten their parents that they are back
from the front and unhurt are the
Crawford boys, the letter of one of
whom appeared in the Capital yester-
day, Bernice Brady, Winfield Russell
and Edgar Clark, of the Machine Gun
Company, and Theodore Brady, of my
company.
Mrs. James Brady has been official
ly notified of the wounding of her son,
Lucien Brady of the Machine Gun
Company She had received the news
unofficially before.

GUNNERS MAY GUN
THANKSGIVING DAY

Demonstrating the fact that, no mat
ter how much the good people may
frown upon such sinfulness, there al
ways will be found people who are
willing to risk their money on any
sort of a proposition, there comes a
report direct from the State Game
Warden's Office telling of man who
recently wagered his good money that
it is against the law to go cunning in
the county on Thanksgiving Day.
Further investigation discloses the
fact that this reckless individual has
paid up. Nevertheless there seem to
be lot of people who entertain the
erroneous idea that hunting in this
State on Thanksgiving Day is prohib-
tied For the benefit of all such the
State Game Warden has issued the
following statement:
At this time of the year the Game
Warden's Office is flushed with inquir-
les as to whether it is legal to go hunt
ing on Thanksgiving Day. There are
no laws known to the Game Warden
which prohibit shooting in any section
OF the State of Maryland on Thanks
giving Day"

AT THE REPUBLIC TONIGHT

Anette Kellerman, shapely Queen
of the Sea-" is the aquatic star at the
Republic Theatre tomorrow. Those
who remember her famous picture. "A
Daughter of the Gods" are promised
in this latest William Fox submarine
fairy story even more sensational
swimming and high-diving stunts,
combined with real dramatic situa-
tions. The art of condensation has
been applied to this feature picture so
that thrill follows thrill in constant
crescendo, until Miss Kellerman at
tains a hair-raising climax with her
dive of IS feet from a high wire into
the breakers below.
This comes as logical part of the
story, where the heroine is escaping
from lofty tower by walking wire
cable across chasm. when the villain
cuts the slender strand, and at the
same time the tower is blown up. 1t
is thrill worth going miles to see,
whereas you only have to go to the
Republic Theatre.
Also comedy.

ton is fully justified by his daring
stunts in his newest starring vehicle
in which he appears as a Chester
feldian hobo to whom every Knight of
the Road Pays reverent obeisance.
Douglas Fairbanks never has had
finer role and he never has given his
admirers so much for their money as
He Comes Up Smiling" offers
them. This is superb photoplay re-
markably acted. and its appeal will be
invincibly irresistible.
He Comes Up Smiling is based
upon the farce of the same name in
which Douglas Fairbanks starred in
New York in 1914. The play was
dramatized from the popular novel by
Charles Sherman. These are dandy

KEEPING JERRY
ON THE RUN
Samuel X. Frazier Wounded In France
But Ready To sSG0 At EN-
Again

Sergeant Samuel r. Frazier, Ma
chine Gun Company, 115th Infantry,
American Expeditionary Forces, has
written to his mother, Mrs. Samuel r.
Frazier, of Eastport, the following in
teresting letter:
1.-THE boys are all surprised and
pleased to receive your letters and
know that you all are getting along so
WE'LL We never knew before coming
to France how one could be so de-
pendent on mail from home. Words
cannot express the Joy in receiving a
letter from friends at home, that we
boys have over here.
Il am enjoying the best of health,
having been very fortunate in that re-
spect since coming to France.
I'VE are now back in the trenches,
after ten day period at what we call
rest camp. l am now writing you
from a little hole in the ground which
we call dug out, with terrific din
of cannon and shell singing with pro-
voking music in my ears.
"The weather is peculiar; warm in
the day time, and so cold at night, that
without overcoats it is unbearable. We
are now having good weather, after
what seemed an endless visit of rain.
Naturally things here are not as
comfortable as they are in the States.
We sleep whenever an opportunity is
given, which is very rarely in the
trenches.
1.-The morale of our men is the high
est; in fact, it is marvellous under the
circumstances in which we are placed
to see men with such great enthus-
iasm and fine spirit We are keeping
the boche, or rather Jerry on the alert
at present. and also have him on the
run
Il recently returned from the hos
pital where / was patient, having
been wounded, but am all o. X. now,
and ready to get at them again.
This is about all now Remember
me to all the folks. / expect soon to
be able to look upon their smiling
countenances with satisfaction of
knowing that my bit has success

OFFICIAL ORDERS
EXPRESS APPRECIATION

Sergeant Howard Strange, of the
115th Infantry, American Expedition
airy Forces, has sent from overseas the
following official order recently is
sued which tells of appreciation at
Headquarters of the mems skill cour-
age and endurance:
Headquarters 18th Division,
American e. F
Nov. 1. 1918.
General Orders, No. SO.
Now that its part in the action
north of verdun is finished, the Divis-
ion Commander wishes to take occas-
ion to express his deep appreciation
of the skill, endurance and courage
shown by the officers and men of the
division, including both staff and lines
in most difficult and prolonged fight.
Everything was opposed to our
success. We had a most determined
enemy in our front and one skilled by
four years of warfare, whereas this
was the first real fight of our division.
On most days the weather was bad
and the ground difficult, added to the
fact that the fighting was largely in
woods. On account of the woods, ra-
vines and dampness, gassing of our
troops was easily accomplished and
full advantage of this fact was taken
by the enemy to whom the use of gas
was an old story.
without exception the organiza-
tions of the division and their COM
manders responded heroically to every
call upon them and at the end of the
fight we had not only gained our OBJ
jectives, but we held them and turned
them over to our successors. We adj
vanced some eight kilometers through
the enemy's trenches, and captured
over 2,100 prisoners; cannon, about
200 machine guns, and a large guam
tity of miscellaneous military prop
erty. We had the pleasure of seeing
two hostile divisions withdrawn from
our front, one of which was composed
of some of the best troops of the Ger
man army. On many occasions cap
tured prisoners stated that our attack
Was oO idpAu anu Jul ~ ClCNtAFS
that they were overwhelmed and had
nothing to do but to retire or surren-
der.
"In this brief summing up the re-
suits of its first fight, the Division
Commander feels that every officer
and man participating, whether in
planning or in executing. should fee
just pride in what has been accom-
plished This is but repeating the
praise that has been bestowed upon
the division by both American and
French superior commanders.
