wherein he first won fame.

Dearborn last night for the East.
During the weeks stay as the guest
Of Mr.. Ford Nellie played over and
over old waltZeS popular Il quarter
century ago. These tunes were duly
repeated by the Ford orchestra and
will become the property of posterity
when Mr. F'ord's americana" a book
containing old shioned dance selec-
tons, is published.
Contained in this anthology of
tunes will be the contributions of SO
or more other fiddlers from many sec

partaken of Ford hospitality, but
whose ventures into the Ford circle
were not heralded by the press and

placed to its credit on the books of the

To Dr.. w. 3. Caldwell Of MONT
cello, Ill.,. a practicine physician for
az years, it seemed cruel that so many
constipated infants and children had
to be kept constantly "stirred up" and
half sick.
While he knew that constipation
was the cause Of nearly all cKildren's
little ills, he did not believe that a
sickening purge" or "physic" every
day or two was necessary.
In DR.. CaldwelI's Syrup Pepsin he
discovered a laxative which regu-

many changes since the first service
in 1916. The building has been "im-
L,cved" from time to time and archi-
lecture has run riot. Gothic, round
and square arches give the building a
chaotic appearance. The chancel is
well furnished, but is poorly arrang-
ed. 1t will require money, either as
gifts or memorials, to make the build
ins harmonious, in order that it may
do its full duty in the "Beauty of
Holiness"
Pocomoke belongs to that group of
parishes in the Diocese that can not
stand alone. 1t is now allied with
Coventry and Wicomico parishes. 1t
has sacrificed it's prestige in having a
rector all it's own. 1t has surrendered
services to other parishes, which is
good missionary spirit. One service
each Sunday, with an evening service
every third Sunday, is all it has now.
The Church school struggles on with
a few scholars and faithful teachers.
The women, as elsewhere, keep the
machinery we'll oiled and running.
The vestry pays more than one-third
of the pledges. The parish is poor in
material things, but strong in faith,
harmony, and happiness. There are
worshippers who have attended SER
vices under every rector of this par
ish They have seen changes that have
been discouraging, but faith holds
them. Steadfastness some day may
result in st. Mary's prospecting in the
Masters service in both faith and
works.

UNSEEN FOES LURK

Tourists Should Guard Against
Typhoid Germs Often Found In
Springs And Wells

Going on an automobile trip? If
you are, you will be interested in
these suggestions from Abel Wolman
Chief of the Bureau of Sanitary En-
cheering, of the State Department
of Health:
"In the midst of the vacation period
and with the season of greatest ty-
phoid fever sickness approaching, a
word of warning to the tourist and
camper may be helpful in combating
the unseen foe Of health that so fire.
quently turks in springs and wells,
even in those that produce a water re-
freshingly cool and of sparkling at
tractiveness.
"In the State maryland a project
is now in development to maintain
markers for the guidance of tourists
to water supplies that are regularly
inspected, analysed and found safe
by the State Department of Health.
This plan includes, in addition to pub
lie and camp water supplies, the pos
sible marking of private supplies at as
convenient intervals as may be found
practicable.
at is the practice of the State
Health officials to inspect the exist
ing tourists camps and to suggest
such sanitary improvements as may
be necessary. This practice is result
ing in an increasing number of safe
camping grounds throughout the
State, but until the above mentioned
plan is placed in effect, much unneces-
sary risk may be avoided, if campers
will use reasonable care in selecting
their camp site, or if tourists will
take the precaution of using water
only from a public supply, all of
which in Maryland are under the con-
slant supervision of State Health Au-
thorities.
eff at any time water must be OBJ
tanned from we'll or spring of un-
known quality, the owners claim that
it is the best water in the county
should not be given as great consider
alton as the nature of the surround
;ngs and the protection furnished the
supply. If there is a toilet, stable,
chicken yard, or other source of con-
tamination near the supply; or if it is
not effectively protected against sur
face wash and pump drippings, the
water is at least potentially danger
Gus and should not be used for domes-
tic purposes until it has been boiled.
I'm general, if the tourist will bear
in mind that typhoid and other intes-
final bacterial diseases can be con-
tracted only by getting the germ from
another human body into their own
by swallowing it-and- will avoid i'll
kept locations for camping and doubt
full water supplies for drinking and
domestic uses, the chances of the
pleasure of their trip later being de-
stroyed by sickness can be reduced to
a minimum"
