Health in Maryland held last week
at Levering Hall, Baltimore, by the
Maryland tuberculosis Association,
Cecil County was represented by w.
T. Morrison, M. D., of Elkton, and
Miss May Kimble of Port Deposit.
The object of this conference was to
initiate this years campaign in the
interest of the Red Cross Christmas
Seals and the fight against tubercu-
losis in Maryland.
The most startling fact brought
out at the conference was the state
ment by DR.. Martin F. Sloan, super
intendent of Eudowood Sanatorium,
that as a result Of the influenza
epidemic there has been an increase
of more than 16 per cent in the num-
ber of tuberculosis cases in the state.
The sad fact about these cases is that
owing to the weakened condition of
the "flu" victims, tuberculosis has
overwhelmed them, and more than
SO per cent of the cases due to the
"flu" are hopeless.

was ever ready with good counsel
when consulted in business and
other matters. He had followed
painting and paper hanging for a
number of years past.
Mr.. Cummings never married. He
had a hobby for antique furniture
and had collected for his beautifully
furnished home several handsome
pieces. One brother survives, Henry
