THE crTy,s HEALTH.

Last Saturday this newspaper pub
iished report OF tho second OF tn
weekly health talks by superintendent
of health. DR.. Richard w. Pullen. i
Is worth reading carefully. dealing al
II does with the disease OF scarlet
fever.
Not one person In this city fails
20 be interested In his own health
For that reason he must be interested
In the general health OF the people
OF the city. There is no more prac-
ticsl matter for serious consideration,
and every advantage should be taken
OF chances to learn how to deal with
sickness such as those offered by
study OF the talks Of the superintend-
ent OF health.
On this point. discussing scarlet
fever. but referring to health gener-
ally, the superintendent made per-
tinent remark which emphasizes the
importance to every person of keeping
all the people in the city well. DIR.
Pullen said: Remember that if you
want to keep your own children well
you must help keep other children
WE'LL"
You may see something that you
know might bring sickness to people
living in another part of the city. 1t
makes little impression upon you,
being SO far from your own home. 1t
will not affect you or yours, is the
first thought.
But 1t may affect you and yours!
That thing plight bring serious sick
ness to the children of that locality.
An epidemic might come and spread
all over the city. 1t might reach
your home. 1t was your business to
report wrong conditions to the proper
authorities so that, If for no other
reason, the dangerous conditions may
be remedied before they bring sorrow
to your own home.
This is no general, mild suggestion
intended to bring the matter up in
some indefinite way. 1t is vital mat
ter to every person in this city. Each
one wants to keep well; each is eager
to keep his or her children well. 1t is
not enough to take good care of one
self or ones own children. In order to
keep we'll and to keep ones children
we'll every person should help in keep
ing all others well; should take an
active part in every health move in
augurated in this city.

POLL PLAYERS RACE ON
TO SUCCESS. In HOTTENTOT
As Sam Harrington, MIR. Dawlcy
Scores Hit and Arthur Griffin
as Swift is Comedy Star Of Show.

Scores a Hit and Arthur Griffin
as Swift is Comedy Star Of Show.
THE Hottentot," the farcicAl racing
drama, made famous by Willie Col
lier, is the starring vehicle for the
Poll Palace players in Hartford this
week, and a better comedy could not
be presented. The story of this play
is well known. 1t deals with steeple-
chase races and the tribulations of
young Sam Harrington who is afraid
of horses but to win the admiration
of Peggy Fairfax, an ardent racing
fan, he permits her to think that he
+, is Sam Harrington the famous
steepechase rider. Complications
come thick and fast however, when
he arrives at Fairfax country home
just in time for the steeplechase and
is actually forced to ride a horse. His
| endeavors to avoid the race and the
dialogues lin the same effort are
mrth provoking, while the endeavors
OF Swift, the butler to aid him in
avoiding the race are. also really
comical
The Poll Players who present this
play are in every way UP to the
scratch and as Sam Harrington
DeForest Dawley gives an excellent
imitation of the famous Willie Collier.
His acting is consistent SWith his part
and his speech is well suited to his
supposed mental condition. Comedy
laurels, however, go to Arthur Grit
fin, as Swift, the butler. With per-
feet English dialect and with lots of
original interpretations, he succeeded
last night in keeping the house in an
uproar without once overriding his
part. AS usual, demure little Ann
part of Peggy and popular Frank
McHugh. although he had little to do
as Alec Fairfax, did what was his in
a finished manner. Carol Arden. a |
new conner, appear as Mrs. Chadwick |
and others having parts are Anna
Powers as Celise, Jack McGrath as
Ollie Clifford, Victoria Montgomery as
Mrs Clifford, William Il. Blake in the
heavy part as Larry Crawford, f.
r. Dawson as Perkins and Edwin Vail
as Captain Townsend
AS usual, the stage settings are ex-
cellent and the production is finished
in every respect, the final climax, the
great steeplechase scene being mas
terpiece, of exciting dialogue and de-
scriptive talk.

THE MD. STANDARD TWELVE
HIGH-ANALYSJS FERTILIZ-
Frs ANNOJTNCED.

,, According to the Experiment Sta
ton officials of the University OF
Maryland, the farmers of the State
can no longer afford the costly ex-
travagance of nearly 200 fertilizer
analysis when one-sixteenth of that
number will do. While there seems
to be general trend toward the use
of the economical high-analysis fer
tilizers in preference to low analysis,
there are literally scores Of grades
which though demanded by the
farmers and sold by the manufac-
turers, have no legitimate place on
the market. The average farmer
buys probably not over two differ
ent analysis for his farm, and there
fore sees little seriousness in this
matter at first glance. His neigh
Dor, however, working under the
same conditions buys grades varying
only fractionally from his, but diff
fereDt and requiring separate manu-
featuring operations. And SO with
the rest of his neighbors until the
community is using 20 or 80 differ
ent analysis where doubtless four or
five would answer.
With that fact in mind, and in
order to simplify to the fullest ex-
tent the fertilizer practice of the
State, the Station officials, after
thoroughly studying the require
ments of the various crops and soil
types, have selected twelve analysis
which they declare will meet all
ordinary needs, as follows:
O-10-4- Soybeans, cowpeas and.
other legumes.
0-a2-6-Legumes, heavily. ma
nured grass land.
2-12-2-Grains ON loans and
heavy soils of Central Piedmont and
Limestone Valley section.
2-12-4-Grain and general crops
on light loans and sandy soil.
S-S-8ZSweet potatoes.
3-10-6-Sweet potatoes, tomatoes,
late potatoes.
4-S-4-Tomatoes, truck crops.
grains on poor soil.
4-12-O-Grain on more fertile
soil of Piedmont region.
5-S-5--Tomatoes, truck crops.
6-S-4-Tobacco
7-6-5-Early potatoes, truck
crops.

SLAVES OF THE UNsPEAKABLE
TURK.

$4,000 Christian girls are army
camp slaves of the unspeakable
Turk" declared Alonzo E. Wilson,
a prominent Methodist layman, in
an address made recently at Roland
Park M. E. Church, Baltimore, on
Smyrna, Constantinople and Trans
Caucasia. These girls, he charged,
were tied hand and foot, at the
burning of Smyrna, after many Of
their parents had been massacred
trying to- protect them, and were
carried off by the Turks.
Fifty girls from the American
College, who were taken by the
Turk, were demanded by Near East
Relief workers, and freed, declared
Mr.. Wilson.
After the Turks looted Smyrna
a relief rushed into the Turkish
commandment headquarters, said Mr.
Wilson, and cried, "The City is afire,
order out the fire department. The
Turk replied by ordering machine
guns placed at the corners, and
shooting the Christians as they fed
from the flames"
Infidel Smyrna, said Mr.. Wilson
was the name given the city by the
Turk, to whom Jew or Christian, or
any non-Moslem, is an infidel

original seven Churches of the Bible

BY strenuous efforts the npllifica-

total arrests numbered only 1888

Preventative Medicine.

The tendency of medical science
is toward preventative measures. 1t
is easier and better to prevent than
to cure. Pneumonia. one of the
most dangerous diseases that medi
cal men have 20 contend with, often
follows a cold or attack of the grip.
The cold prepares the system for the
reception and development of tine
pneumonia germ. The longer the
cold hangs on, the greater the dan
ger. Take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy as soon as the first indica-
ton of a cold appears so as to get
rid of it with the least possible de-
lay. 1t is folly to risk an attack of
pneumonia when this remedy may
be obtained for trifie.
