When the General Assembly of
Maryland convenes next year one of
the measures that will be urged
upon it will be a prohibition enforce
ment law. There are indications
that such measure will be enacted.
No one needs to be told that there
has been strong and almost suc7
cessful demand for such legislation
for some time. 1t was strong enough
to force its way into the special ses-
sion of the Legislature called for a
specific purpose,-but not for pro-
hibition enforcement enactment. 1t
not only forced its way into the
special session, but made consider
able progress in forcing its way
through it and this, against the
opposition Of the administration
Now, this, demand for prohibition
enforcement legislation is not les
sening; it is growing; and the
growth is not confined to Maryland.
A statesman who tries to stem it
may find himself swept away into
political oblivion
1t would be but poor compli-
ment to the Anti-Saloon League to
think they are emitting measures
to make sure, so far as certainty is
possible, that candidates for the
next session of the legislature will
be right" on this matter of prohibit
ton enforcement The Anti-Saloon
League is not only clear sighted, it
is fan. sighted, and, further, it may
be depended upon to keep awake.
The rural districts are also likely
to be heard from on the racing ques-
ton. 1t is significant when mem
bers of the State Board of Agricul-
iture, who may be assumed to repre-
sent the agricultural interests, OPP
pose live stock breeding bureau,
Which the Racing Commission wish
es to establish and maintain with
funds contributed by the race tracks,
when opposition to thing is so
strong that even money emanating
from that source is scorned, the
thing in question may reasonably be
supposed in extremely violent dis
favor.

Periodic Bilious Attacks.

Persons subject to bilious attacks
at regular intervals know when to
expect an attack. They find that
they have no desire for food when
an attack is due but usually eat be-
cause it is meal time. Skip one
meal and take three of Chamber
lain's Tablets and you may be able
to avoid the attack. Persons sub
ject to periodic bilious attacks
should not drink tea or coffee at any
time.

The Twins Christmas

1t was on Christmas Eve and ey-
erything was in silence. Tiny and
rot had gone to bed. Mother tuck
ed the covers closely around her
darling twin babies. who were then
four years old. When suddenly
sleigh bells were heard in the dis
lance. The children awoke and the
thought of Santa Claus came TO
their minds. Their parents had
told them that Santa, never liked
to find anyone awake when he
came to visit them so they crawled
under the covers. But Tot, who
was just like all other boys, al
ways thinking of some mischief,
tried to persuade his little sister
to peep. He whispered in her ear.
'1'll bet he's dot long whiskers.'
"I'll bet he's bid and fat" The
little girl made no reply. The lit
tie fellow lay quietly for few
minutes and finally caught few
words that the little girl was say
ing to herself. 1t was a prayer
that her grandma had taught her.
1t was as follows:
Now ! lay me down,
We pray the Lord our souls to
keep.
If we should die before we wake,
We pray the Lord our souls TO
take.
Put little Jesus don't let us die
for | know Santa will bring us
something fine"
This put Tot to thinking. They
finally fell asleep again. The ex-
element was so great over the
thought of Santa Claus being there
than they rolled and tossed and
tumbled til the sun began to shine
in their eyes. They winked and
blinked and rubbed their eyes and
all at once they jumped out Of bed
and ran to the living room. All
around the Christmas tree were so
many toys that they scarcely knew
which one to pick up first. A

Mr.. MEADS CHRISTMAS GIFT

Mr. Mead found out many things
about his orphan guest, who lived
with an aunt in an already too full
tenement Time passed with such
speed that Mr.. Mead was aston
ished when Jones ann0un d
dinner.
How that boy ate. Mr.. Mead
felt a warm glow as he watched.
Funny, TOO, he had never cared for
boys before.
The day passed lightning-like for
both of them. We'll, | guess I'd
better get along" said the boy, as
darkness came on. This was a
swell Christmas present. Wish l

On Christmas Eve

When Christmas Eve comes
With its star so bright,
For the Child who came
On that night,
To turn the world to right.
On Christmas Eve
We always rejoice,
But those who are poor
And cannot rejoice,
Can rejoice in the heart,
If not in the joys of others.
But those who are rich
And try to be glad,
Perhaps cannot be,
Without the Christ child's help,
For he is glad.
But those who are glad
Can be Christians,
But not without the help
Of the greatest of Christians.
On Christmas Eve
We should reform,
We should not ask our parents
leave,
If they are wicked parents;
But turn to Christ
And be right.
The Christ child
Came on this night
To turn the world to right.
He who died on the cross for us,
To teach the world not to fuss
And fight.

used to spending Christmas all by
himself, dining in state. No raga-
muffin from the streets-then Mr.
Mead caught sight OF the boys ap-
pealing, friendly brown eyes, and
something queer happened to his
heart, which really was like an old,
shriyeled-up apple. Put it on the
table," he said.
Mr.. Mead was sorry, almost as
soon as he had said it. The boy
put his hat down. Then they
stood looking at each other.

do with me-" said the boy with that
sunny smile.
Can you-can you play chess?"
asked Mr.. Mead.

A Christmas Spirit

Once upon a time there was a
little girl whose father was dead.
Her mother was poor and had to
work. Mary had to do all the work
and so did not go to school very,
often.
Nancy, a little girl that lived
next door wanted to make Mary
happy, so she asked her mother if
she could have Mary and her moth
er over for Christmas.
Christmas Eve Nancy went over
and got Mary and her mother.
Nancy and Mary hung up their
stockings by the fireplace and then
went to bed.
In the morning when they awOke
there were lot of toys, a toy
piano, dishes, dolls, books and
games. Their stockings were filled
with nuts and candies.
When they went home they were
very happy.
That is showing a Christmas
spirit.-Agnes Huber, Garfield
school.

AChrist1nas Tree

There was once a little Christ
mas tree. 1t lived in a green for
est. 1t was very happy tree.
The birds came and sat ON its
branches and sang.
The little tree was cut down and
put in room in the town. They
put toys on the floor beside it and
the children went to bed. The
next morning the children woke up
and said "A Merry Christmas,
mother!"
Baby said, "a Merry Christmas,
father"
Sister Helen said, 20, look, l
have doll"
John said, 20, | have a donkey
and a clown! Look what l have
a BALI"
They played all day long and
they put the tree out on the back
porch and the little tree wished
that he was back in the forest,
where the birds sat on its branches
and sang.
Just then the big brother came
and cut the tree up and set it afire
and the children sat around the
fire till it went out.-Alfred Abbott,
