TUBERCULOSIS CLINIC
To Be Held at the Court House
In Oakland, February II.

Any resident Of Garrett county who
feels the need of examination by a
tuberculosis specialist will be examin-
ed free Of charge by DR.. John NJ.
Nicklas, of the Maryland Tuberculo-
sis Association at the clinic to be held
in the Oakland Court House at half
past nine, Wednesday morning, Feb
ruary 9th.
DR.. Nicklas conducted his first
clinic in Oakland nearly month ago.
The men and women who came for
examination kept him busy up to the
time that he had to leave Oakland.
The Garrett County Public Health
Association had made preliminary ar
engagements for the clinic. Because
Miss Getty, Garrett county public
health nurse, was i'll, Mrs. N. l.
Broadwater assisted Dr.. Nicklas.
"What a blessing thorough exam
ination is" said one patient at the
last Oakland clinic after DR.. Nicklas
had examined her. "Six years ago a
doctor told me | had tuberculosis. The
doctor | had later said my trouble was
with my heart, not with my lungs. All
during these six years | have won-
dered which doctor was right and I
was worried. Now Dr.. Nicklas says
the second doctor was right. Pm so
relieved to know that | haven't tuber-
culosis that | am going home feeling
better than | have felt for a long
time"
DR.. Nicklas urges any parent with
a child who has a poor appetite or
who is undernourished or easily IA
tigued, or who has frequent colds hard
to get rid of, or who has fever often,
to bring the child to him for exami-
nation.
Anyone who himself or herself suf--
fers with that tired feeling" or with
a cough, or who feels that he may
have a tendency to tuberculosis, is
welcome TO receive examination and
advice from the tuberculosis Associ-
atoms specialist at the Oakland
Court House next Wednesday morn
ing.

FOUR STORY BUSINESS
BUILDING FOR OAKLAND
To Be Erected by c. n. McIntire
In Which POstOffice Will Be
Located

Oakland will within the next few
months have new location for its
postoffice and an unsightly condition
which has existed for many years at
the corner of Third and Alder streets
will give way to an imposing four
story brick and steel structure to be
used for business purposes.
This proposed building will be
erected by Mr.. C. N. McIntire, of
Oakland, who has received complete
set of plans and specifications for the
same and which contemplates an Of
flee and business house that will be
erected during the coming spring and
summer.
The building will be 75x90 feet and
will be constructed of hollow tile, steel
and brick. The first floor of the pro-
posed building will have business
rooms fronting on Alder street, while
the second floor will have frontage
on Third street.
The corner room on the second floor
fronting on Alder street will be occu-
pied as the pOstoffice and will be 30X55
feet, the contract having already been
made by the Post Office Department
for the room.
The remainder of the second floor
and a portion of the third floor will
be used by the Oakland Hardware and
Furniture Co. for an up-to-date hard
ware and furniture store. The bust
ness Of the hardware and furniture
company has entirely outgrown its
present quarters, but with the in
creased facilities contemplated in the
new structure a greater volume of
business can easily be taken care of.
A portion OF the third and Of the
fourth floors will be used for offices.
All these Offices will front toward
the court house on Alder street and
will be ideal for Office purposes.
The building will be equipped with
en- electric elevator and will be heated
by steam. All modern conveniences
will be installed and the comfort of
those occupying the rooms will be
given first consideration by the owner,
The plans for the building were
made by Thomas w. Biddle, we'll
known architect of Cumberland, and
construction work will commence just
as soon as weather conditions will
permit.

OBEYING THE LAW.

Under the law the State is COM
PEELED to render certain aid to high
schools. By the second pairing of the
budget funds for such aid would not
have been available. This would have
led to no end of litigation.
Under the law the State is obliged
to aid the counties in putting an ade-
quately trained teacher in every
school. Funds for this cooperation
must be increased from year to year
until about 1880, by which time every
county school in Maryland should have
an adequately trained teacher. This
obligatory financial support was not
provided for in the budget as pared in
the second pairing.
1t appears, then, that Dr.. Cook has
been exceedingly active in attempt
ing to exert such an influence on the
States budget-making that the budg-
ct when passed will conform to the
law and not open the way to endless
litigation and confusion.
If this is the charge preferred
against DR.. Cook, the court sees no
reason why the jury should not bring
in a verdict of guilty"
Such a verdict will carry with it
the implication that D. Cook not only
has been true to the trust imposed in
him as State Superintendent of
Schools, but in even larger measure
true to the trust imposed in him by
Governor Richie, who publicly de-
clared that he would hold the super
intendent responsible for making the
public school system a credit to the
State.
That is all, jurors and juroresses;
the case is in your hands.
