SAVING THE FEET

BLESSED are the feet of them
that bring good tidings of great
joy" So also blessed are the feet
of her who does the manifold
household tasks. And those same
feet should be guarded as much
as possible against fatigue. See
to it that stools or chairs about
FIVE inches higher than the aver
age be placed in the kitchen so
that the one doing the kitchen
work - whether mother" or
maid-may rest her 11eet while
doing the peeling of fruits and
vegetables, cleaning silver, etc,
ETC., that may be done sitting
down. And then see to it that
the stools or chairs are used and
unnecessary fatigue saved.

THE REPUBLICAN CAN
DIDATE FOR CONGRESS,

The Republican candidate, for
both the short and long term of
Congress, Mr.. Thomas Il. X.
Mud, was born and reared in
this county, where he has spent
practically his entire life. He is
the third son Of the late Sydney
L. and Mary Ida Mudd, and the
brother OF our late Congressman.
He was educated in the schools
of this county and at st. Johns
College, at Annapolis. He has
never been candidate for polit
ical Office before, though he has
taken an active part in politics
since reaching manhood. He
was for number of years Sec
rotary to his late brother, re-
signing following the declaration
of war to enter the service. He
enlisted in the Navy and saw SER
vice during practically the entire
war on the high seas during the
period when the German submla-
rine activities were at the r
height. After the war he occu-
pied position with the Ship
ping Board and for the past
year has been engaged in work
in Arizona.
Mr.. Mudd is young man, full
of energy, and fully qualified to
make an ideal representative OF
the people in Congress. Incl
dentally, we call attention to the
fact that he is home man, and,
therefore, should have the sup
port of his home. people.

SUPPORT Mr.. MUD.

The campaign has begun in
this Congressional district with
practically but ten days left for
the political fireworks. Up to
the death of Sydney e. Mudd,
who was a candidate for re-elec-
ton, it had drifted along with
little activity since it was a lore
gone conclusion as to the result.
The death of Congressman Mudd
made it necessary for another to
be nominated to take his place
as a candidate for the 69th Con-
gress and also a candidate to
serve out his unexpired term.
The Republican State Central
Committee, realizing that little
time was left for a new candi.
date to make campaign, met
promptly last week and named a
candidate Tor both terms in the
person of Mr.. Thomas b. r.
Mudd, the most logical selection
from every newport that could
have been made.
The democratic party had al
ready a candidate for the long
term, but it became necessary
for that party also to name a
candidate for the short term or
let the election for same go by
default. The candidate for the
long term having won his nomi-
nation after a fair primary con-
test, was logically the candidate
for the short term, but the dem
ocratic bosses in the State and
this district who had not turned
hand to help their nominee,
Mr., Chance, recognizing as time
will tell, reckoned without their
hosts in the belief that a differ
ent man had a chance to win,
forced the regular nominee of
their party for the long term and
the logical candidate for the
short term to retire, and named
a new candidate for both terms.
That Mr.. Chance was forced to
retire cannot be doubted, for had
he insisted upon staying in the
fight he knew that these same
bosses who now appear to be so
interested in the success of the
party candidate, would have left
him high and dry. In the face
of this action and these facts
undisputed, are honest demo-
Gratis of this Congressional dis
trict going to stand by and toler-
ate such action ? Are the hon
est and conservative democrats
of this district now going to help
save the day for those who have
heretofore deserted them in past
fights ? We bel.aYe the right |
ranking democrats will rise up
in their might and resent such
action at the polls, and they |
should do it in justice to them
selves and their party. This is
not time for democrats to aid
betrayers and deserters Of their
party.
The Republicans have nomi-
mated a clean, honest young man,
poor, It's true, but qualified in
every respect to capably repre-
sent the people OF this district in
Congress. While we feel conf
lent of his election, we sincere
: hope that every Republican
Ioter and especially Of this couL-
y, will vigorously and whole
leartedly rally to his support
nd work from now until the
asst vote has been cast on cleo
ion day. The voters of this
