TRUE POLITENEss

Parents often are at great pains to
teach their young children such ele-
mentary forms OF politeness as saying
thank you," excuse me-" please, .
and the like, yet are forgetful of the
fact that true politeness does not con-
sist merely of the spoken word.
True politeness consists of an in
nate desire to avoid wounding the feel
ings OF another. This springs from
the heart and is a virtue often not
discovered in man until after long
and intimate association with him;
even then it is not always recognized.
The spoken word is but superficial and
may be donned by any one; considera-
ton of the feelings of others may be
Unborn or may be acquired through
careful training.

A HRALTHFUL SIGN

1t is encouraging to note the in
terest and support which has been
given by business men to an expan-
sion project proposed by local sand
and gravel company. This spirit of
progress is significant of very gen.
eral feeling in Annapolis that this city
has reached critical period in its
progress and that the time is here in
which TO grasp opportunity to make a
bigger and buster Annapolis.
1t will not take any great display of
this spirit to induce Industrial con-
Germs to locate here. or to induce those
already here to plan for expansion.
The enterprise which the sand COM
pany has shown, and the excellent
spirit In which IL has been met by
business men. indicate that progress in
Annapolis is far from being dead and
needs but a vigorous shaking to
awaken II unto new life.

COLDS AND GRIPPE
DOCTORS ADVISE
The Improved Calomel Tablet
That Is Entirely Purified Of All
Nauseating And Dangerous
Qualities.

Physicians are warning the public
against trifiing with colds and grippe.
They say that brisk calomel purga-
tive, preferably Calotabs, the new
and improved calomel tablet, should
be invariably taken at bed time and re-
peated the second or third night, If
necessary. In the earliest stages, one
Calotab is usually sufficient unless
the case is particularly severe.
Physicians say that it is waste of
time and is dangerous to experiment
with other laxatives, as calomel is
absolutely necessary sooner or later.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed time
with a swallow of water-that's all.
No salts, no nausea nor the slightest
interference with diet, work or pleas
ures. Next morning your cold has
vanished and your whole system is
purified and refreshed. Calotabs are
sold only in original sealed packages.
Price thirty-fve cents. Recommended
and guaranteed by druggists every
where Price refunded If You are not
delighted. adv

NEW FLAG DOES HONOR
TO RETURNED SOLDIERS

I'VE have kept faith with the men
who entered the country's service" is
the sentiment actuating the display
by a number of business houses and
manufactures throughout the coun-
try of new style of service flag.
The suggestion for the design of the
flag came from the Post-Intelligencer
of Seattle, Wash. 1t is blue banner
bearing the legend, Returned Sol
diers Employed Here" Above the
motto is large white six-pointed star,
within the borders of which is the nu-
neral in blue, specifying the number
of returned fighters employed. Around
the mineral are the small red stars,
corresponding in number to the CEN
trail figure.
Now that soldiers and sailors are
returning and being demobilized, the
war service flag is necessarily losing
some of its significance. The new
flag displayed by factory. shop, store
and Office is evidence that the jobs
which the men left were kept open
for their return. 1t was easy to take
credit for the boy who left for the
front it is pointed out; here is way
to show that the credit was appre-
ciated and returned. The design of
the flag has been copyrighted to pre-
vent profiteering. but is free to be
made use of by those eligible to do so

CLOSED SEASON ON
RABBITS; NOT ALLOWED
TO EVEN OWN A BUNNY

Rabbit days are over This is the
ping jack rabbits or molly cottontails.
1t is unlawful at this time to have a
rabbit dead or alive in your posses
sion, and If you do have. and are
found with the goods, the game warden
is likely to get you.
1t seems that quite contention has
developed principally by those who
have rabbits for sale and those who
like to see rabbits in potpies, stewed
rabbits and molly cottontails in other
edible forms over the selling of rab-
bits in the city markets.
The closed season for rabbits in
Maryland, State Game Warden E. Lee
LIE Compile warns, is from December
25 to November 8, inclusive. The law
specifically states, according to War
den LIE Compile, that mo person shall
have in possession, exposed for sale,
sell or buy any rabbit or rabbits alive
or dead, in said city of Baltimore or in
any of the counties of this state, dur
ing said closed seasons or dates be-
tween which it is made unlawful to
shoot or have them in possession .
The law provides, however, that live
rabbits may be held in possession dur
ing the closed season for propagation
purposes only.
Violators are subject to fine of not
less than SIS, nor more than 500 for
each offense, and Warden LIE Compile
has declared CLOSED season. against
them.

Bend Editor James would be
granted an interview with the presi-
dent and would be received with
Rooseveltian cordiality.
~Oh, yes, Mr.. James. you are the

the good fight you made for me out
there in your locality. Your district

always credited your newspaper eff
forts a great deal for this achieve
ment and am very appreciative of it."
The astounded Mr.. James would
learn the details about the political
situation in his locality that he never
dreamed were known of outside the
district, much less known by the presi-
dent of the United States.
Mr.. James would return home i'm
pressed with much greater sense OF
his own importance and. assuredly, a
greater admirer of the wonderful
president who had such marvellous
capacity for remembering compare
lively trifiing details. The result was
that for life he was the devoted adj
mirer and supporter of Theodore
Roosevelt
This method not only made Mr.
Roosevelt friends but also caused his
visitors to go back home with the deer
conviction that they were bigger mer
than they had believed themselves te
be. And there is nothing to make q
man feel SO good as to discover thai
he is of greater Importance than he
believed himself to be. So. while this

signed to injure anyone; on the con
trary 1t gave pleasure and was there

ROosEvELTs POPULARITY

Since the death of Theodore Roose-

been busily engaged attempting to ex-
plain the remarkable popularity which
he attained. Many explanations have
been offered as the secret of his sue
of them contributed to il.
How Roosevelt gained the admira-
ton and friendship of the small poll
tician in the country district who was.
perhaps, local leader of consequence
in his home, forms an interesting side
light in the life of this remarkable
man and is told by a newspaper man
who was in position TO learn the
facts while Mr.. Roosevelt occupied the
presidency. The plan was this:
Assuming the local leader to have
been Mr.. James. editor of a weekly
newspaper in his home town of River
Bend, Mo. Mr. James would take a va
cation and visit the east. Visiting the
east meant visiting Washington, and
visiting Washington meant natural
desire to see President Roosevelt and
at least shake hands with him.
Mr.. James would inform the con-
gresham from his district of his de-
sire and the congressman would tell
him that he would see what could be
done, taking him TO the White House
and asking for an audience at a stat
ed time. In the meantime the con-
gresham would see Mr.. Roosevelt and
make known the desire of his coinstit-
uent. suggesting the ACCESSIBILITY of
seeing the editor because of the local
influence the latter welded. Presi-
dent Roosevelt would then inquire
fully into the political activities of the
constituent and inform himself of

GERMANS TO OFFER

German Zeitunp in a despatch says the
German delegation TO the Peace Con-
gress, will depart from the old diplo-
matte customs. They will not attempt,
he asserts. to refuse or TO argue out con-
ditions they deem unacceptable. but in
tend in each separate case, where It is
necessary, to present a carefully formu-
lated counter proposition, containing the
maximum the Germans are willing to
concede.
The Germans already have reached
conclusion concerning certain of the

the newspapers, the correspondent adds,
and suggestions have been drawn up
by experts and the delegates are ready
to present them to the Entente.

questions. will be acceptable. This. how

nection with the demand that Germans
guilty OF having been instigators of the

Dr. Theodor Melchior OF the German

such n peace as permits opportunity for
the r, construction of her economic life.
The occupation by the Allies Of the inn

ued:
"If our opponents cannot see this ne

are burdened with an annual tax of

tho question and the country would

in the French press Is demanded"
DIR. Melchior said 1t was better to wait
for the exact text before discussing the
question further. He added that in the
conference with Herbert Hoover, the al
lied representative had given an answer
that sounded earnest and convincing" of
what would happen If the peace terms
were not signed. but the German dele
