Evening capital and Maryland gazette. (Annapolis, Md.) 1910-1922, 1918-12-17

The story is that of a young girl who
at the age of three was supposed II
have been kidnapped from the magni-
ficent home of her wealthy parents
who, through the long succedink years
never gave up the search for their lost
daughter. After many years have
elapsed a man appears al the house
with a beautiful girl of seventeen and
that she is the stolen child
bringing as proof tiny pair of shoes
and baby cap which the overjoyed
mother instantly recognizes. Mary is
taken into the DENLY home and loved
as a daughter-the son Jack being
particularly attracted TO his new
found sister. Later, with many dra-
matte situations, it is shown that Mary
is really the daughter of poor en-
ployee of the railroad. This causes
great grief TO the Denbys who have
grown to love the beautiful girl, but to
Jack, the fact that Mary is not his sis
ter is a delightful surprise and brings
up visions of another and closer rela-
tionship. The romance, which dates
from this important discovery, was
made a delight by Miss Allison's acting
and she was an instantaneous success
with her big audience.
The screen version of 1.-The Return
of Mary" was made by George d.
Baker from the play of the same name
written by Hale Hamilton and was di-
rected by Wilfred Lucas

For nearly two years letters anc

For nearly two years letters and
personal solicitations have come to
me from citizens all over the state
in all walks of life ur ing me to
make the race for govei nor. More
than eighty per cent OF the legisla-
tors with whom / serve | voluntarily
pledged me their support and a ma
jority signed a round robin letter
urging me to enter this race. All
this without suggestion from me, for
l have sent out no "feelers" and have
never approached anyone on the sub
ject. / have always steadfastly de-
clined to commingle politics with
legislative duties. and | now have 40
apology to make for this attitude.
At the close of the last legislative
session, the demand having become
so insistent, l publicly declared L
could not qualify under the consti-
~tutional requirement that the gov
ernor be at least thirty years of age.
This attracted attention to the fact
that an arbitrary age limit is fixed,
and was the occasion for the launch
ing of an initiative movement by
more than 5000 citizens to so amend
the constitution that the people may
elect the governor and lieutenant
governor of their choice regardless
of age.
l am informed that 80 per cent of
the people to whom these petitions
were presented signed them, and that
this question will be presented at the
election. II should be
upon, just as any other law,
in the light of reason, justice, and
policy. 1t should not be voted
for merely to qualify any individual,
NOR SHOULD 1T BE VOTED

CUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATES.

The Clarion-Ledger has received
the following letter, from an old and
valued subscriber, which it prints in
| full, to thank the writer for his kind
| reference to the editor, and to make
| reply thereto:
! Editor Clarion-Ledger: !
You have called your paper "the
Great Religious Daily" l like the
dub. 1t is suggestive that the
ClariOn-Ledger office is the temple
of truth. l so regard it.
The Clarion, Established by ST.
neon r. Adams), led the fight in
1876, which scourged Ames and his
minions from the State Capitol.
For a quarter of a century the
Clarion has been well mated with
the Ledger, and in 1918, the Clarion
Ledger, led the fight which scourged
unrighteous officials from the
places they ~disgraced, notably those
in charge of the asylum of the af-
flicted.
| have wanted to thank you for
this splendid courageous service, but
for several months after the Legis-
lature adjourned, l had the rheuma-
tism and l put it off from time to
time, las old men will do). l hope,
however, that it is never toe late to
award just praise.
| am getting in the "sere and yell
low leaf" but l love Mississippi bet
ter and better every day. You have
done so much noble work for Missis-
sippi that l just wanted to express
my admiration and gratitude, and to
say, more strength to your right
arm.
| have many descendants in this
world war, and l may never live to
see those that escape death at the
hands of the Germans; and this re-
| minds me. While l have my pen in
hand, may l ask that you give your
readers, (Of whom | have been n

SPANISH INFLUENZA
RAPIDLY SPREADING
Persons Weak and Rundown Easy
Victims-Fortify Yourself Against
1t BY Taking Tanlac.

According to late reports issued
by State and Federal health authori-
ties the Spanish Influenza epidemic
is rapidly spreading to all parts of
the country, and it now seems that
practically every State in the Union
viii be seriously affected before it
runs it's course
1t has not only become a great
and terrifying menace to the public
health, but unless checked, it is apt
to seriously affect the progress of
war work in all its various depart
ments. Already the Shipping Board
has announced that ten per cent of
its workers had been affected.
The disease has made it's greatest
progress in the East where it has
claimed it's victims by the thousands.
Reports from other sections, how
ever, are equally alarming; and both
civil and military authorities have
warned the public to take every
precaution to prevent its further
spread. In many citieSschoOls,
churches and theatres have been
closed and public gatherings of all
kinds forbidden.
Medic al authorities agree that
PEOPLE who are weak and rundown
are the earliest victims of the In
iucn2a epidemic. If you find your
self tired. weak and losing flesh. or
If you are in a generally rundown
condition, or if you catch cold easily
this warning should be needed
promptly. You are really in great
danger, because the germ of this
disease is very catching and you are
apt to fall an easy victim if you
come in contact with the germs. Peo-
pie who are we'll and strong are not
likely to contract the disease because
they are able to throw it off. The
common-sense way to keep from
taking it is to fortify the system
' ainst attack by building up the |
constitution.
In other words to use the old
alage, "An ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure" And if you
I in a sub-nOrmal condition the |
proper thing to do is to begin i'm
mediately to build up your powers
OF resistance. To accomplish this,
nothing on earth will strengthen you
and build you up like Tanlac, the
powerful reconstructive tonic, which
contains the very elements needed
by the system to give you fighting
strength and ward off the influenza
germ.
First of all Tanac begins it's action
by creating a good healthy appetite
for wholesome, nourishing food, and
assists every organ of the body to
perform its natural functions, thus
helping to build up health and
strength in the natural way.
Tanlac is also the ideal strengthen
ing tonic for persons who are suffer-
ing from the after effects of In
fluenza. Grippe or Bronchial trout
bles and hundreds of thousands are
using it daily with the most gratify-
ing results.
In connection with the Tanlaci
treatment, it is necessary to keep
the bowels open by taking Tanlac
Laxative Tablets, samples of which
are included with every bottle of
Tanlac. 1t is also important that the
every day rules of hygiene be OBJ
that is, sleep in we'll venti-
H-ed rooms, get plenty of fresh air
I'd exercise and keep away from
: owds.
Tanlac is sold in Grenada by Sec
md Class and Corner Drug Stores.

McAdoo Warns
Against Trading
Liberty Bonds
Hold Fast to Best Invest.
ment in the World, He
Urges Subscribers

WASHINGTON, Jan. o0.-Liberty
bond investors were warned by Secrc-
tary McAdoo to-nirht to beware Of IL
responsible persons Offering other Sc
curities in exchange. In statement
appealing to bondholders to "hold fast
tc the best investment in the world"
Mr.. McAdoo said
ut has been brought to my atten-
tion that a large number Of patriotic
citizens who subscribed TO Liberty
Loan bonds of both the first and sec
bond issues. are being approached from
time to time by agents who have, with
too frequent success, induced them to
sell their Liberty Loan bonds and take
IN exchange securities which in a num-
Der Of cases have been OF very ques-
tionabe value
Through the intensive work carried
on during the two Liberty Loan cam
pa1gns patriotic army of over ten
million bond buyers in this country
has been created. 1t is of the utmost
Importance that the investments Of
this army of patriots should be safe
guarded in every possible way and
that their action IN lending their
money to their government should not
be taken advantage of by irresponsible
people, seeking solely d profit for
themselves
Il therefore warn investors in Lib
erty Loan bonds against exchange of
these evidences OF their patriotism for
any securities or so-caled securities.
While some Of the securities. or So
called securities, offered in exchange
for government bonds are of sound
value, there is no doubt that a large
percentage of them are worthless.
ut is my earnest hope that every
purchaser Of a Liberty bond viii real
ize that the only genuine help he gives
his government is by keeping his bond
as an investment as long as it is pos
sible for him to do so. Where. be
cause of misfortune or imperative ne
ccssity, the holder of a Liberty bond
is forced to sell. there can. of course,
be no Obiection" "
