At the Fourteenth International
Congress Against Alcoholism held IN
Milan, Italy, in 1918, it was decided
to accept the invitation of the Amer
lean delegation to hold the Fifteenth
Congress in the United States of
America in 1915.
Many of the arrangements hat
been perfected for the Congress in
1914, when the outbreak of he
World War rendered them useless.
Postponements became inevitable
from year to year. So long a time
had elapsed since the original prep
arations were begun, that the Amer
lean Executive Committee, appointed
in 1914 by the Department of State
to have charge of the arrangements
for the Congress, was compelled to
begin all it's work Of preparation
anew in the spring of 1920, when the
date and place for the Congress were
at last definitely approved.
The fifteenth International Con
gress Against Alcoholism will meet
in the city of Washington, D. g.,
s. A., converting on Tuesday morn
ing, September 81, and adjourning
on Sunday evening, September rs,
1920. The day sessions, morning
and afternoon, will be held in the
Hall of the Americas" of the beauti-
full Pan-American building. The
evening sessions will assemble at the
Civic Center-the splendid auditor
ium of the Central High School
Building. 1t is hoped to hold the
official reception to delegates and
members of the Congress on the
night of the opening day-Tuesday,
September 21-and to present on the
east steps of the Capitol pageant
illustrating Americas progress IN the
world battle against alcoholism.

Democratic State Central Committee,
has announced the appointment OF
former State Senator Thomas II
Robinson, of Hartford county, as
chairman of the campaign commit
tee which is to take charge OF the
Democratic fight in this State. The
committee will consist of nine mem
bers in all.
Mr.. Robinson is one Of the mem
bers of the Maryland delegation to
the National Democratic Convention
who supported Governor Cox from
the beginning to the end of the long
fight. In State politics he has been
identified with what has been known
as the estate crowd but at the
same time has always maintained
friendly political relations with the
Mahon organization in Baltimore
city.
The Democrats are shaping theil
affairs so as to start the campaign on
or about October /, by which time II
is hoped that the special session of
the Legislature will be over and the
political atmosphere somewhat clear

The Just Government League OF
Maryland will urge the appointment
of at least one woman clerk and one
woman judge at every polling place
throughout the State to encourage
the women to exercise their recently
acquired right to suffrage.
This action was decided upon last
week at meeting of the league held
in Baltimore.
It was charged at the meeting that
in some of the counties in offices
where women are supposed to de
clare their intention of voting un'
necessary questions have been asked
and it is thought this might have hao
the effect of frightening the new
voters from the registration and
polling offices.

Dependency.

Sufferers from indigestion ale apt
to become discouraged and feel that
complete recovery is not to be hoped
for. No one could make a greater
mistake. Hundreds have been per-
manently cured by taking Chamber

thing that they crave. These tablets
strengthen the stomach and enable
it to perform its functions naturally.
If you have not tried them do SO at
