and true to all. She had wonderful
sanity patience and forbearance.
Those who saw her nearest knew that
she had many trials, sufferings and
affections to endure, but her patience,
in the words of the apostle, was kind,
not provoked to anger, beareth all
things, endureth all things.
She is now in the company of the

And oh! to see that heaven of ours,
Where she has gone

THE HOUSING SHORTAGE

The national council of the United
States Chamber of Commerce, which
was in session last week in Washing
ton, considered the formation of a
constructive program to relieve the
housing shortage, which is held re-
sponsible for high rents in most To-
calities.
1t is evident that little can be done
toward overcoming the housing short
age until there is reasonable reduc-
ton in the cost of building. Material
and labor for building work have kept
pace with other mutations of the last
few years, and there must be a reduc-
ton in these until much building will
be done. A reduction of 20 or 25 per
cent in the total cost of building
would probably result in a decided
stimulation in building activities.
Another effect would be a lowering
of prices asked for properties and an
ultimate reduction in rents. The
effect toward a reduction in the cost
of living would be considerable
ParAphrasing the words of Presi-
dent Grant, the way to reduce is to re-
duce, and there is no reason to be-
lieve that anything will be gained
either by contractors or workers in
delaying action that will lower the
cost of building construction. 1t is
plain that the persons who need
homes are not in mood to make in
vestments at prices that prevailed
during the last year.

YOUNG WIFE'S DRAMATIC
ATTEMPT TO END HER LIFE
Mrs. Arthur Johnson, After Failure at
Reconciliation SwaIIows Acid


Reconciliation, Swallows Acid
At Frostburg on last Friday night,
Mrs. Arthur Johnson made dramatic
attempt to commit suicide in the law
office of T. L. Todd in the presence of
Mr. Todd and her husband, following
Intellectual efforts at reconciliation. She
was prevented from swallowing the
entire contents of an ounce bottle of
carbolic acid by the two men. At the
Miners Hospital in Frostburg, to
which institution Mrs Johnson was
hurried Immediately after her act,
DR.. ]. Marshall Price used a stomach
pump and she regained consciousness.
1t is thought she will recover.
Mrs. Johnson, who is % years old,
was Miss Bertha Sherman of Gilmore,
while her husband is formerly of
Grantsville, being a son of the late
Baker johnson, of that town. The
trouble between the parties grew out
of the fact that on Thursday Mrs.
Johnson secured warrant for the
arrest of her husband on the charge
of .desertion and non-support. The
hearing was to have been held on
Friday night, but was postponed. Then
reconciliation was attempted, when
suddenly Mrs. Johnson, saying she
would end it all, ran into an adjoining
room, followed by the two men, where
she drank the acid. At the hospital
Mrs. Johnson pleaded to be saved.

stead of habitual smiles do you wear a
tired look-almost scowl? Do you

You are not really i'll. Your blood

THE DEATH RECORD.
MRS. HATTIE C. BROWNING.

lIEA III ~ DINo w 4Nl4NNs
Mrs. Hattie C. Browning, relict of
the late Senator Richard T. Brown
ing, died at her home in Oakland, on
Saturday morning, Feb. 9Th, 1921, in
the 18th year of her age. The most
highly esteemed deceased lady had
been a patient sufferer for more than
year past. Mrs. Browning was born
in Cumberland, Nd, on June 8, 1874,
and was a daughter of the late Jesse
Twigg. She was married to R. T.
Browning on April II, 1862, and after
their marriage Mr.. and Mrs. Brown
ing resided in Cumberland for several
years before removing to Garrett
county. Her. husband, the late much
esteemed Senator Browning, who pre-
coded her to the grave, represented
this county. in both branches of the
Maryland General Assembly for. sew
eral terms and filled many other high
offices of honor and trust Mrs. Brown
ing is survived by six children: Mrs.
P. j. Garrett of Deer Park; Sister
Mary Theresa of Philadelphia; Miss
Nell Browning of Cleveland, Ohio;
Richard S. and Margaret Browning,
of Oakland, and R. Getty of Balti-
more.
Beautiful indeed are the many trib-
utes of affectionate respect which
have been enacted by loving friends
and old neighbors of the late Mrs.
Browning. Those beautiful deeds of
kindness, as brothers and sisters uni
ted in subtle bond of common sor-
row, who joined to do honor to their
dead dear one, was deeply affecting
to the bereft ones, who realized that
the loved form now cold in Deaths
embrace, had been one OF the best
mothers in the land
She is gone-upon the ship that
never returns. 1t is difficult to realize
that she has gone, but it hath pleased
Almighty God to call her home at this
time. Hers was a beautiful soul. Her
family was truly sensible of this.
She held the hearts under the roof
tree-she held the hearts of friends.
Her religion was boundles, loving
charity. The most pitiful tramp was
invited to sit at her table and eat all
lthe poor, starving body craved. Thous-
ands of those deeds of charity of hers
shall never be known. She could never
understand a religion that would shut
the door in the face of starving fell
low creature. She saw her Savior in
every poor suffering outcast and ex-
tended the hand of charity for Jesus
own dear sake.
She knew her end was near, yet she
yearned to linger still little longer
with her dear ones. We miss her. We
miss her gentle approaching and re-
treating footsteps, and the tender light
of her loving eyes. But her life's
effort is ended. Twas ever faithful

WHY NOT A FREE
EITNIC1

What would a clinic for the school
children of American Falls reveal?
The dentist would find a large pro-
portion with health meancing teeth.
The physician would find numerous
signs of tuberculosis, malnutrition, d.
seased tousil3 and ~adenoids, deformi-
ties and bad habits. The optomitrist
would find perhaps a hundred cases
of eye strain or faulty vision.
Boise recently held a free clinic for
children that resulted in a great
amount OF good for her children and
the parents of the children. Mrs.
Nancy Kampf, III Boise correspon-
dent gives an account Of 1t in this is
sue of the Press.
Why could not the relief agencies of
American Falls combine and offer Il
free clinic to all the city children par.
ticularly thoce who otherwise would
be at the mercy Of child ailments.
When this Is accomplished perhaps We
would be more justified in starting q
poultry breeders association, a COW
testing association of a Bull club.

Red Cross, Relief Society, Ladies' Aids,

TRIUMPHANT
WILL IT STJCKg

The harmony ticket has taken o
slap at every socalled faction in the
city, and gotten away with II, The
voters registered nnqualifiedly In IA
vor of the Citizens ticket, not q mar
of the independents approaching dan
gerously close TO victory.
One man, prominent In the activi-
ties OF the Citizens committee, said
yesterday, II figure we have given one
faction a good licking and II the other
faction starts something / think we
will lick them too. People have tired
of the eternal town fight and want TO
be done with IT,"
That is good talk, but can 1t be done,
The citizens win look forward eager
ly to an impartial administration OF
city affairs, and unless such admins
tration Is impartial IL Will be safe to
say that the road of the council VIII
be rocky indeed.
Harmony seems to have trlumphed.
Let's not make 1t u byword. The
Press looks forward eagerly with the
citizens of the town, to a clean, eco
nomical, impartial administration The
same would have been true had the
straight ticket of the independents
been elected. The verdict at the polli
cannot be questioned however and /
IL TO be hoped that their registered
convictions will not be violated. The
victor and the yanquished are to be-
commended for the clean fight waget
and the fine quality of craftsmanship
shown in both victory and defeat.

These NettIes Deal Death.

Amy species of nettles is unpleasant
enough to handle roughly, but ssme Of
the foreign ones are most formidable
plants. Several Of the East Indian
forms are truly dangerous, for, after
the first itching sensation has passed
away 1t is often followed by that of
hot irons being rubbed on the flesh,
and the pain increases to such IN ex-
tent that after hours-and sometimes
days-the patient is seized with symp-
toms like those following influenza and
lockjaw, while sometimes death re-
suits.

Our process Super-purihes and
"whitens'' the lead base. 1t must
be fine enough to pass through
a silk screen with 10000 mesh

lead means easier spreading and
a more elastic, tougher protect

on the state weed law. The law Is

such districts.

IF or cracked,
i new paint is needed, and it
will be cheaper to paint now
for deterioration costs more than
good paint.
A we'll painted house brings
several hundred dollars more on
sale and more in rent. Keep it
painted and it stays new for
years.
The best paint spreads more
easily - saves labor cost. 1t
covers more square yards - you
buy more gallons of cheap paint.
The best paint then protects
the house, if properly applied,
from five to ten years longer.
There is no question as to
which costs less. Don't allow
surfaces to rot. 1t costs less to
paint them.
The best paints are scientific
in formula and preparation.
