WHEN YOU WAKE
 UP DRINK GLASS ].
 OF HOT WATER
Wash the poIsons and toxins from system before putting moro
 food Into stomach.

Wash yourself on the inside before breakfast like you do on the outside. This is vastly more important because. the skin pores do not absorb impuri- ties into the blood, causing illness, while the bowel pores do.
 For every ounce of food and drink taken into the stomach, nearly an ounce of waste material must be car ried out of the body. If this waste material is not eliminated day, by day 1t quickly ferments and generates poi sons, gases and toxins which are ab- .sorbed or sucked into the blood stream, through the lymph ducts which should suck only nourishment to sustain the body.
 A splendid health measure is to drink, before breakfast each day. a glass of real hot water with a tea spoonful of limestone phosphate in it, which is a harmless way to wash these poisons, gases and toxins from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels; thus cleasing, sweetening and fresrening the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach.
 A quarter pound of limestone phos- phate costs but very little. at the drug store but in sufficient to make anyone an enthusiast on -bathing.- Adv. sa

BIRTHDAY OF MAJOR DREYFUS

This is the f1fty-ninth birthday of the chief figure in that military cause celebre of the century, the Drayfus case It was over a decade ago that Alfred Dreyfus was completely rlndi- cated and restored to the French army as a major, after having been convicted of selling military secrets to Germany, and sentenced to life in- pr1sonment on the Isle du Diabla, At the outbreak of the war Major prey- fus was placed in command of one or the forts near Paris, but he has had no opportunity to distinguish himself so far as is known. His young son, Pierre, has been actively engaged at the front since the war began, holding the rank of lieutenant in an artillery regiment. The young fuan has shown great bravery under fire and has been cited in the Journal Of- ficiel as follows:
 Pierre Dreyfus, at the front since the beginning of the war, particularly distinguished himself on February 26, 27 and IS, 1916, by assuring, during these three days, service of obsarva- tion and liaison under most perlious conditions, after having requested not to be relieved during this period to avoid risk of disturbing the Con l tinuity of the service during the cfiti- cal phase. Throughout the days of February and March he has remained constantly upon his batterys position, thus insuring a particularly active service of the guns under an almost continuous bombardment from the enemy's artillery"
 The Dreyfus case has been "dead'' many years, and was only revived about two years ago for a short per iod by the death of the Marquis Paty de Clam, the French War Department official who had charge of the proae- cution of the accused Jewish officer. Paty de Clam, although beyond the age limit for active service, volunteer led at the beginning of the war. He was wounded during the great battle of Verdun, and, after lingering fsw weeks, died of his injuries.
 Alfred Dreyfus was born in Alsaee, of Jewish parents, on Oct. g, 1859. After graduating from the Polytechnic he was made a lieutenant of artillery in 1882, reaching the rank of captain in 1889. He was arrested in 1884 charged with selling military secrets | to the ambassador from Berlin. Con victed of this charge, he was publicly

Sergt. Jack Moran Writes Glowingly of Success of

 pressing Bootleggers.

A letter received today from Ser geant John F. Moran, of the Provost Guard, Camp Devens, Mass, and chief of the vice squad, Fitchburg, Mass, shows that the thousands of men sta- toned at the camp are enthusiastic over the way in which the army doc tors routed the Spanish influenza, and are eagerly waiting for Oct. 12, when past restrictions will bel fitted. Sergt. Moran was formerly of The Times Farmer staff.
 One of. the most interesting para graphs of his letter Is where he says: Yes, we have finally captured and killed the Spanish germ. Physicians from here are being loaned cities where the disease is prevalent and extra nurses, who were called here a few weeks ago, have been sent to other cities. We cannot understand how the influenza struck Massa chu- setts so hard and barely touched Con- | necticut the land of steady habits | malaria, pneumonia, good cigars and | finest cops.

 ''The situation has so improved the restrictions on passes will be lifted Saturday, Oct. 12. No passes havl been issued during the past three weeks. I had the old germ myself for five days, but am in pretty gooG | shape now, thanks be to God. It's ar awful feeling.
 1 'Bootleggers are yet prowlinG around these parts. We landed a tota of 10 over Saturday in Fitchburg ant Lowell. All were bound over for tria before the United States District Cour at Boston in bonds of $500 in defaul of which all are remanded to the South Fitchburg jail.

FIRST GERMAN
 IMMIGRANTS

The first enigrants from Germany reached America 235 years ago today Oct. g, 1888, landing at Philadelphia, near which city they founded the settlement of Germantown. Like many who came after them, these pioneers fled from their old home to escape persecution, which the present "German-Americans" should remem- Der. The party numbered thirty three men, women and children, near ly all relatives, and all were Men nonites from the town of CrefeId, on the lower Rhine. Pastorius, their leader, described by William Penn as Sober, upright, wide and pious man." received a grant of 600 acres near the Quaker City. Most of the settlers were weavers by trade, and they were largely instrumental in in- troducing the textile arts into Amer ica. They were so hospitably receiv- ed by the English, and wrote such glowing accounts to their friends at home, that large numbers followed their example, and Germantown soon became prosperous community.

HAIR COMING OUT?

Dandruff causes a feverish irrita- ton of the scalp, the hair roots shrink, loosen and then the hair comes out fast. To stop falling hair at once and rid the scalp of every par ticle of dandruff, get a small bottle of Danderine at any drug store, pour a little in your hand and rub it into the scalp. After a few applications the hair stops coming out and you can't find any dandruff.-Adv.

CAPT. PHIL. HARRISON
is SUED FOR DIVORCE
His Wife, Mrs. Gladys Perrin Har-
rison, Files Petition. Married
Five Years Ago.

Considerable interest was aroused in
Annapolis today over the news from
Baltimore that Mrs. Gladys Perrin
Harrison had entered suit for a di-
vorce from her husband, Capt. Philip
Haxall Harrison, U. S. A. Captain
Harrison is a graduate of St Johns
College, where, during his student
days, he was leader in many
branches of college life. He was un-
usually popular socially in Annapolis,
too.
The couple were married January
%, 1913, and separated May 25, 1915.
The wedding, which took place in
Grace and st. Peters Protestant Epis-
copal Church, was one of the society
events of the winter of 1913. The cere-
mony was performed by Rev. DR.. Ar
thur Chiffon Powell, then the rector

FIREMEN TO HOLD A
JOINT LAWN FETE.
Members Of The Three Com
panies Of Department Plan
Affair For Late July.

At a joint meeting of the members
of the three fire companies held last
night at the company rooms in the
Rescue Hose Company on West street,
plans were launched for a big lawn
fete to be held jointly by the three
companies during the week of July
29th to August 10th. The affair will
be held on the city lot on Gloucester
street adjoining the Municipal Build
ing, and it is planned to inaugurate
number of brand new amusement fea-
lures, and lay out a dancing floor
larger than ever used outdoors before
AS the three companies have joined
in this affair and each company has
its quota of energetic workers, there is
every reason TO assume that the fete
will eclipse anything of the same sort
ever attempted before in Annapolis.
The ladies of the town are asked TO
attend a meeting t0 be held at the
City Assembly rooms on Gloucester
street next Monday night, June oath,
to organize in aid of the firemen for
the entertainment 1t is hoped that
as many of the ladies of Annapolis as
can possibly spare any time, labor, or
suggestions for the success of the af-
fair will attend this meeting.

ANNEXATION is
BEING ARGUED.
Case Of Anne Arundel Commits
sioners Against Baltimore
City Being Heard Today.
COUNTY OPENS CASE.
City Solicitor Field And Mr.. D. r.
Randall To Argue For City
This Afternoon.

With keen interest being manifested
by number of residents of the city
who, from time to time, drifted into
the court room to listen to the argu-
ments, the case of Anne Arundel Coun-
ty Commissioners against the Mayor
and City Council of Baltimore City to
restrain any action by the latter un-
der the Annexation Law was opened
in the local Circuit Court this morn
ing before Judge Robert Moss.
The case is being argued by Thomas
Robinson, of Hartford County; former
Attorney General Isaac Lobe Straus,
and Mr.. r. p. Melvin, for the County,
and by City Solicitor S. S. Field and
Mr.. Daniel r. Randall, for the city.
Prior to opening the case it was
agreed that the Messrs. Robinson and
Melvin should lead off for the county,
and after the arguments had been re-
piled to by Messrs. Randall and Field,
the case would be closed by Mr..
Straus.
In view of the Importance of the
case, it will be carried to the Court
of Appeals for final adjudication, no
matter which side wins. The several
Baltimore County cases involving the
validity of the same Act, which have
been heard in the Circuit Court at
Towson, will be taken up on appeal in
the Court of Appeals.
The main contentious of the county
are that the Act is unconstitutional
through its effort to annex territory
from and change the lines of Anne
Arundel County without referendum
to the people in the to-be-annexed
area. There are other and more de-
tailed statements of the invalidity and
injustice to Anne Arundel involved
in the provisions of the city's plan
for an extension of its lines into this
county.

Guilty OF First Degree Muir

fifteen minutes the jury in the Circuit

a verdict of murder in the first de-
gree against William CONNER, alias
Robert Freeman, who, on May 4th,
shot and almost instantly killed Artie
Gillis, another negro, in the upper
part of the county.
While there was no qualification in
the finding of the jury, Judge Moss, in
imposing sentence. said he had de-
termined to give the accused the bene-
fit Of any small doubt as to the crime,
and he therefore imposed a sentence
of Imprisonment for life rather than
the death penalty. Commers took
the whole proceedings stolidly and has
not manifested any great interest in
his affairs since. He will probably. be
taken to the Maryland Penitentiary
tomorrow to begin his sentence.
