There are three and half million
starving children in Europe. We are
asked to assist in accepting voluntary
contributions to aid them. All Re-
lief and Welfare Organizations, such
as the Red Cross, Y. M. C. A., Y.
w. C. A., X. c., Jewish Relief and
others have united under the chair
manship of Mr.. Herbert Hoover to
raise $33,000,0O0. 90 to save these
children. 1t is hoped that the
Christmas Spirit will prompt every
one to give generously. $1,000 saves
the life of child. Every cent con-
tributed will go to the aid of these
children. Not cent will be taken
to pay any expense. Pay your
money directly to M. T. Barger, Lin

TIRED OF HIS LITTLE SPREE
Runaway" Canary Glad to Be Back
in the Comfort and Safety
Of Ills Home.

Mrs. Robert Tomlinson of Martins
Vile has canary that answers to
the name of Woody, relates the Indi-
annapolis News. Last fall the bird es-
capped from the cage and flew away.
Immediately the whole town was
asked to keep its figurative eye on
Woody He was reported here and
there, feeding with the town sparrows.
Mrs b. would call up and say that she
had seen him. but by the time his
owner came he was gone.
For a whole month Woody cavortefl
around with the pests of the neighbour
hood. Then dark, rainy days began
to dawn. Still Woody stayed with the
sparrows. A neighbor called up from
the other side of the town one day
and said that Woody was sitting
around In her trees, the very picture
of despair. There Is little doubt that
he was thinking of his warm cage
ut home. SO his owner HE'D herself
over TO the spot and hung his cage
III one of the trees. Then she went
In to gossip. The rain continued to
fall and presently Woody hoped into
his cage and the tragedy was over.
for that night he had his regular warm

Mr.. Oodson, the oliver Toner Man,
Responsible for Change for
the Better.

Every druggist in town has noticed a
great falling off in the sale of calomel.
They all give the same reason. Dod-
sons Liver Tone is taking its place.
'Caloinel is dangerous and people
know it," Dodson's Liver Tone is per-
sOnally guaranteed by every druggist
who sells it. A large bottle doesn't
cost very much, but If it fails to give
easy relief in every case of liver slug
gishness and constipation, Just ask for
your money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy, harm
less to both children and adults. Take
a spoonful at night and wakeNlp feel
ing fine; no biiiousness, sick headache,
acid stomach or constipated bowels.
1t doesn't grippe or cause inconvenience.
Take a dose Of calomel today and to-
morrow You win feel weak, sick and
rauseated. Dent lose a day.--Adv.

SUGAR PRESERVES FLOWERS
Experiments Have Shown Its Value,
but Not With All Kinds, Says
London Newspaper.

1t is reported that two professors
of school of agriculture have made
some interesting experiments In pro-
longing the lives of cut flowers. One
hundred different flowers were used
in the experiments, and it was found
that sugar helped to keep most of
them fresh, but was positively IN
furious to lilies and sweet peas. 1t
hastened the opening Of roses and
orchids, but did not affect tulips,
daisies or chrysanthemums.
Experiments we're made with
small quantities of chloral, ether,
glycerin, alcohol, limewater and am
monia salts, each of which served to
lengthen the lives Of various flowers.
Some of the flowers kept i'll sugar
and water lived four times as long as
they ordinarily would.
The sugar does not have an exact
ly equal effect on the different flow
ers it preserves. Carnations seem to
like "a Is per cent solution and roses
do better in a solution Of from s to
10 per cent.

A FAMILY
MEDICINE
In Her Mothers Home, Says Thia
Georgia Lady, Regarding Black
Draught. Relief From Head
ache, Malaria, ChiLls, Etc.

Ringgold, Ca Mrs. Chas. CASTOR,
of this place, writes: "I am user
of Thedford's Black-Draught; in fact,
1t was one of our family medicines.
Also in my mothers home, when |
was a child. When any of us child
ren complained of headache, usually
caused by constipation, she gave us
q dose of Black -Draught, which would
rectify the trouble. Often in the
Spring, we would have malaria and
chills, or troubles of this kind, we
would take Black-Draught pretty reg
ular until the liver acted well, and
we would soon be up and around
again. We would not be without it,
for 1t certainly has saved US lots of
doctor bills. Just dose Of Black
Draught when not SO well saves .
lot of days in bed"
Thedford's Black-Draught has been
IN use for many years in the treat
ment of stomach, liver and bowel
troubles, and the popularity which it
now enjoys is proof OF it's merit.
If your liver is not doing its duty,
you will suffer from such disagree
able symptoms as headache, bilious
ness, constipation, Indigestion, etc.,
and unless something is done, serious
trouble may result.
Thedford's Black-Draught has been
found a valuable remedy for these
troubles. 1t is purely vegetable, and
acts in a prompt and natural way,
regulating the liver to its proper
functions and cleansing the bowels of
impurities. Try it. Insist on Th0d-
ford's, the original and genuine. e 7o

MARYLAND PEACHES
TO BEAT RECORD

Despite the fact that Eastern
States viii show q marked increase
in apple and peach production this
year. there viii be no glut on the
market owing to a shortage IN
Middle Western crops. according to
a bulletin issu& yesterday by the
Maryland Horticulture Society in
cooperation with the University OF
Maryland at College Park, Nd.
The State of Maryland shows an
increase of III, 600 barrels of apples
and 81. 900 bushels Of peaches. The
bulletin stated that the Maryland
producers will have keen competi-
ton in marketing their crops. as the
State of New York probably will
produce 494. 900 barrels of apples.
while the state of Virginia bids fair
to place 100000 barrels on the
market. and Pennsylvania will oU-
be last years output.
The Maryland authorities an
nounced that the peach crop in sew
eral counties show signs of the
leaf-curl and brown-rOt infection,
but the general outlok for the SlS.-
= 600 barrel output is hopeful.

-Four thousand barrels of cement.

signed to the Crawford Paving Com
pany. which is completing much
road work provided for in the 1918

The consignment is the largest re-
ceived for District work for several
months, because of a scarcity of
freight cars. Lately the District has
been receiving cement in single car
load lots which, when distributed
among the scores of road workers. is
4 comparatively negligible amount.
The 4,0O0-barrel consignment, it
is expected, will be sufficient to
complete the paving company's
work. The Crawford Company Is
considering the erection in Wash

DANCE HALL PERMIT
SOUGHT IN COURTS

Eugene l. Russell and Franklin p.
Nash asked the District Supreme
Court yesterday for a writ of man
damus to compel the District Com
missioners and Wade H. Coombs, su-
perintendent of licenses, to issue to
Russell a license to conduct a dance
hall on the premises at 70S o street
northwest, owned by Nash.
For a number of years this prop
erty has been known as the Cadets
Armory Hail." and for the past thir-
ty-five years has been conducted as
a public dance hall.
Russell, who has a lease from
Nash, applied for a license, he de-
clares, on April 26, and was refused,
he claims, ION the ground that the
Commissioners did not believe II to
be for the best interest of the pub
lie" to grant the license.
