LOWEST BIDDER NOT GIVEN ROAD
SHOULDER CONTRACT.

The contract for the construction of
11.01 miles of concrete shoulders on
the Baltimore-Frederick highway was
awarded Thursday at the weekly
meeting of the State Roads Commits
sion to Thomas, Bennett and Hunter
this city. The low bidders, Bester,
Gosnell and Russell, recently formed
to place a bid on the work, were not
awarded the contract. Members of the
commission stated that it was decided
best not to award the contract to the
firm, because of the fact that two OF
it's members were connected with the
State Roads Commission.
This ruling was established some
time ago when a firm, comprised OF
men connected with the roads COM
mission. were low bidders on job The
contract was refused the firm on that
occasion.

BELIEVES BOND ISSUE A BENEFIT

Keep in mind that the money raised
by the bond issue will be spent in Car
roll County. The merchant will bene-
fit a hundredfold for his outlay, the
farmer will move his produce 1t will
mean revival of business. eaf
The sum of money proposed, must
circulate to the general good of every
man, woman and child. 1t will be a
wonderful means of advertisement for
our County. By passing the bond is
sue we encourage families to come
here. -g. 8
To fail at this time would discour,
age many who now are applying to
have their children admitted to our
schools and because of lack of facili-
ties, must be refused. 1t is very like
ly that they would move to other
Counties that offer more liberal in
ducements. About sixty children from
out of Town have been refused enroll
ment to the Westminster school be-
cause of lack of facilities.
What the passage of the bond issue
means.
Money in circulation, plenty of
work, more buying and selling, better
schools. better travel, general happi-
ness and prosperity for Carroll coun-

that in few minutes the uplifted hand is
pale and anemic while the other hand is
red and congested. If this position is
maintained for several hours and the
circulation is poor the congested hand
will become swollen, purple and it will
pit or dent on pressure. This pitting is
due to an accumulation of serum, the
watery part of the blood, which, in
passive congestion, oozes out Of the blood
vessels and settles in the tissue under the
skin. In old age the circulation is weak
as the pumping power of the heart, which
sends the blood through the arteries, and
the suction power by which the blood is
drawn back through the veins, are
weakened and the blood is liable to stag
nate at the bottom Of any organ or tissue
IL the position of that portion which is at
the bottom is not changed.
It is for this reason that stagnation
or passive congestion of the lungs occurs
frequently in diseases and injuries which
compel the aged patient to lie or his back
for long time. This congestion produces
a change in the lung substance which is
similar 70 the changes produced ~ the

This form OF pneumonia occurs however,
only when the old person is obliged to
remain long time in a sitting or re-
cumbent position ano that happens only
in disease.
There is another kind of pneumonia
that attacks old people frequently that
is due to sudden temperature changes.
