I. B.. CRUSADE IS ON
Accolades for Children. Who
Fight the Disease.
"knighthood" Prize for Battle AGAINST
White Plague in the United
States.

Washington.-Through the agency
OF Major b. ]. Lloyd of the United
States health service, accolades will be
held in virtually every school in the
country when the second annual tour.
nament of the modern health crusade
comes to an end this school year.
This was the statement made at the
National tuberculosis association Of
fees, where the crusade was organized
and where the new tournament was
announced. The tournament held
simultaneously all over the country
for Is weeks, begins with the opening
of the term this fall.
Last year, the first In which the an
nual jousts with disease took place,
found many pages" "squires" and
knights" ready to be given their IT.
ties of knights banneret, the highest
degree of honor to be received by the
crusaders. In many cities and towns
accolades were held and on the West
ern coast Major Lloyd personally gave
the four "blows" to hundreds of "air
knights" or boys and girls who had
faithfully performed IL health chores
for the entire tournament and so be-
came knights banneret.
At the capitol In Washington the
largest accolade of the crusade was
held, with Vice President Marshall act
ing as league master and comforting
the honors on the candidates. The
steps Of the capitol building were
filled with children who had fought
winning fight against disease.
There are 100000 children in the
crusade, and 1t is estimated that more
than rs per cent Of them will win hon.
ors in the tournament. By complet-
ing the IL health chores for the Is
weeks they will not only receive their
titles, but will win badges and pins
for the lesser ranks of page and squire,
and gold and silver buttons for the
ranks Of knights and knights BAN
neret. They will also win banners
showing their class has been 100 per
cent successful in the crusade.
This is one of the vital phases Of
the fight against the white plague,
which will be directly affected by the
success Of the countrywide campaign
Of education now being conducted by
the National tuberculosis associa-
ton.

HER SMILE IS
v, HER SAFEGUARD
American Red Cross Courier Is
Not Molested by Bandits
In Balkans. 80
FACES MANY Difficulties
Life Of Balkan Courier 10 Far From
sImpIe-Traveis Take Her to
All Parts Of the Intricate
Balkans.

Bucharest.-A New York young
woman, with smile, dog and tan
leather dispatch bag, is Drawing the
floods, torn up railroads, broken
bridges, snow-clad mountain passes
and all the other hardships that make
up the substance of present-day travel
in the Balkans.
She is Mrs. Helen Grannis, formerly
librarian In the New York Public
library. The smile is the famous
Grannis smile that carries her through
all sorts of unexpected difficulties in a
country where difficulties are real
That smile decided the American Red
Cross authorities to give to her a po-
sition as courier. The dog is a eau
casian shepherd, half wolf, which was
given to Mrs. Grannis by an admiring
ROumanian peasant woman. And the
dispatch bag contains valuable papers
for the American army and the Red
Cross which Mrs. Grannis delivers
from headquarters in Bucharest all
over the intricate Balkans.
Life Far From Simple.
The life Of Balkan courier is far
from simple. Railroads have been de-
stroyed everywhere. Bridges are lying
In the beds Of streams. Roads in
many districts are morasses of mud.
Through the mountain districts roam
bands Of comitadji who prey upon lone
travellers.
Mrs. Grannis has braved her way
through everything. When she cannot
take train she uses a donkey, a
camionette, a cart drawn by water
buffalo. She Is familiar with narrow
gauge railways that threaten to roll
OF the mountains into gorges. She
knows the wheeze and strain Of a one
lunged river steamboat, painting
against q six-mile current. She can
cross q bridgeless stream on horse
back or with rowboat.
And with the nonchalance of sub
way straphanger she drops from one
mountain top to another on the swing
ing aerial cables left behind by the
enemy armies Of occupation.
Smile Takes Her Through.
She has has met bandits but invaria-
bly,, with her smile, with the 80. s."
on her uniform and her talent for tight
places, she has won through unmo-
Tested.
Mrs. Grannis' travels start at Bucha-
rest. The cities she makes" include
Belgrade, Sarajevo, Ragusa, Cettinje,
Podgoritza, Tirana, Scutari and Sa
lonika. 1t does not matter to her. On
her latest trip she carried a letter
from the governor Of Albania to Col.
Henry w. Anderson of Richmond, Va,
Balkan commissioner for the Red
Cross, thanking the American people
for the relief work done In his country.
Her first work for the Red Cross
was with the bureau of personnel In
Paris, where she labored nights, days
and Sundays getting personnel of to
the front. She left Paris January 1,
1919, to join the Balkan commission,
and at length was permitted to take
the courier position which she insisted
on having.

Look and Feel
Clean, Sweet and
Fresh Every Day
Drink a glass of real hot water
before breakfast to wash
out polsons.

Life is not merely to live, but to
live well, eat well, digest well, work
well, sleep well, look we'll. What a
glorious condition to attain, and yet
how very easy 1t is If one will only
adopt the morning inside bath. e
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split
ting headache, stuffy from cold, foul
tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach,
can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy
by opening the sluices of the system
each morning and flushing out the
whole Of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in 1t to wash from the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the
previous days indigestible waste,
sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach.
The action of hot water and limestone
phosphate on an empty stomach is
wonderfully invigorating. 1t cleans
out all the sour fermentatlons, gases,
waste and acidity and gives one a
splendid appetite for breakfast. While
you are enjoying your breakfast the
water and phosphate is quietly ex-
tracing a large volume of water from
the blood and getting ready for a
thorough flushing Of all the inside
organs.
The millions of people who are
bothered with constipation, bilious
spells, stomach trouble, rheumatism;
others who have sallow skins, blood
disorders and sickly compilations are
urged to get quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate from the drug store
which will cost very little, but is
sufficient to make anyone a pro-
nounced crank on the subject of
internal sanitation.

OLD-TIME COLD CURE
DRINK HOT TEA!

Get a small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea at any pharmacy. Take
tablespoonful of the tea, put a cup of
boiling water upon it, pour through
sieve and drink a teacup full at any
time during the day or before retiring.
1t is the most effective way to break
a cold and cure grip, as it opens the
pores of the skin, relieving congestion.
Also loosens the bowels, thus breaking
up cold.
Try it the next time you suffer from
a cold or the grip. 1t is inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
and harmless.

In this class than ever before--are

Meet Your Candidates

The Democratic meetings in
the interest of the State and To-
cal tickets will start on Wednes-
day, Oct. %, and have been so
arranged that every voter in the
county viii have an opportunity
to meet the local candidates and
hear them present their claims
for support. These meetidgs are
a part land very necessary part)
of every campaign, for they give
the electorate a chance to see the
men for whom they are asked to
vote under conditions that are
favorable to a correct appraise-
ment Of their fitness.
1t is not possible for each can
didate to personally visit every
home in the county, much as they
would like to do so, but the men
whom the Democratic party has
nominated want to meet all the
voters, and hope that every citi-
zen of the county will attend at
least one of these meetings. They
want to talk to the voters and
discuss with them the various
phases of their candidacy and
learn spm them in what. way
they can best promoted the weis
fare Of the county. These can
didates hope to be the employees
Of the people of st. Mary's, and
they only seek the means OF max
ing a personal application and
presentation of their qualifica-
lions to the citizenship which con-
stitutes the employing body.
There is no question s.to the
overshadowing superiority of the
Democratic candidates on both
the State and local tickets over
those put up by the Republicans.
Man for man, they greatly out
weigh their opponents in general
fitness for the Offices which they
seek. Worth and ability, rather
than political expediency, moved
their selection. Three of them
have stood the test of party
primary, and the others 80 nearly
represented the unanimous choice
of the affiliated Democrats that
the nominations came to them
practically unsought. Each and
every one of them is peculiarly
fitted and equipped for the Office
which he seeks and they all ap-
preciate the responsibility which
goes with public Office. They are
all actuated by the purpose, II
elected, to SO serve the people OF
st. Mary's as to reflect the great
est possible amount of credit upon
themselves and the party which
they represent.
AS to the State ticket, there Is
no comparison between the can
didates for Governor. Mr..
Richie has demonstrated his I'M
usual ability and steadfast devo-
ton in the peoples interest in
some of the most important posi-
tons within the gift of the State
and Baltimore City. He repre-
sents the very highest type OF
public servant and his past record
has elected the approval of all
classes Of citizens, irrespective OF
party, and his election will come
as a well-deserved reward fol-
efficient service.
Mr.. Nice, on the other hand,
has nothing to recommend hin,
except that he is personal friend
of Mayor Broening, OF Baltimore
City, and was selected as a com
promise candidate to unite the
warning factions Of the Republi'
can party. Naturally he is moi
referring to his past record as an
argument for his election, the
plain reason being that he has nc
such record that could be used tc
advantage.
