The Types of Set You Should Buy.
With the numberless bargains or
fered by radio dealers. department
stores and manufacturers this sum
mer there is no reason why every
home in the United States should not
be equipped for radio this Fall.
The era of highpriced sets is over.
The Fords of radio are coming into
their own, and while we need not for
get that a low-priced set cannot be
placed on the same level as the higher
priced better looking and more enl-
cient receivers offered for sale by the
high.priced set manufactures. II Is
we'll to remember that with FEW eX-
cepttons the low-priced sets Will DO
for MANY of us what the low-priced

namely. get the set owner there ana

a 3.tube regeneTative set can be de-

The quality of tone obtainable with

LOOKING AFTER THE
CHILDREN
From State Dent. OF Health.

From State Dept. of Health.
Child Health Conferences were
held in nearly every section of the
State under the auspices of the
Bureau of Child Hygiene of the
State Department of Health, during
the three months, ending August
18th, according to reports from that
Bureau.
Ninety-one places in twenty coun-
ties were visited; ninety-five confer
ences were held, and over 1000
children, ranging in age from
babies in arms, to their older sisters
and brothers who will enter school
this fall, were given careful
physical examination. No medical
treatments were given, but children
in need of medical or dental care,
were referred by letter to their own
doctors.
or the 95 conferences,-nea
half were held in connection with
the visit of the Healthmobile-the
Child Health Special" or the
Child Health Bus" as it is called,
in Howard, Anne Arundel, Prince
George, Charles, st. Mary's and Cal
vert Counties. The Special" will
spend the rest of the season on the
Eastern Shore, visiting Queen Anne,
Somerset and Wiconico counties,
holding child health conferences in
each place.
In connection with the child
health conferences that will be held
during the next few weeks, DR..
Knox, Chief of the Bureau, said 1--WE
hope to reach as many as possible OF
the five and six year-olds before
they are enrolled in school. Oul
experience has shown that the ex

Two out of every three children
examined so far, have needed dental
attention. The Bureau ownes port

used in follow-up dental clinics in
different parts of the State.

Active fire prevention work was
not taken up Systematically In Our
Country until about 1915. At first,
many property owners resisted hav-

point out fire hazards and suggest

The first idea was that, since in

Indications point to coal strike

which expires August 81.
It is said the miners do not expect
to receive the asked-for increase in
wage and are holding out the strike
threat in order to head off prob
able cut in wages, which has been
considered by the operators.
The consumer is always the one
to suffer from the disputes between
miners and operators, and it looks

FRIDAY, AUGUST %, 1926

Through the pressure and pol1t-

O. E. Weller, republican, from Mary
land, Edmund Budnitz, Baltimore
lawyer and former Prohibition Di-
rector of Maryland, has been ap-
pointed administrator of the Federal
enforcementflistrict embracing Mary
land, Delaware and the District OF
Columbia. Mr.. Weller very can
didly assumes all credit for MT.
Budnitzs appointment.
When Gen. Lincoln G. Andrews
was placed at the head of the Pro-
hibition Enforcement Bureau it was
said politics would not be permitted
to dictate the appointments OF his
assistants.
Despite the clamor of the drys OF
MARYLAND against Mr.. Budnitz, who
is a wet sympathizer, we see him re-
appointed to a responsible dry en-
forcement position, through the in
fiuence of an openly declared wet
Senator.
1t is hard to see how a wet ap
pointee from the State controlled by
wet politicians, entirely out of SYM
pathy with the Prohibition Law, can
be expected to accomplish much in
the way of enforcing dry law.

QUOTES BIBLE TO SHOW

That the ancients had a clear idea

that milk is mentioned 40 times in

he says, and the cow very fire.

derstand it today, because of the eli
matte conditions of Palestine, it
does show that the people of that
period. knew and appreciated the
value of milk and milk products for
human consumption"
The close relation between the
cow and human beings is pointed
out by Mr.. Mum as follows:
Coming down through the cen
turtles we find that those races or
tribes of people who were most
healthful and most physically and
mentally perfect were the ones that
lived largely by their herds and used
freely of milk and its products.
The Aryans, the earliest race of
which we have any record, even
made the dairy cow part of their
religion. Later races deemed milk
so vital to their life that they defied
the COW in many forms and pictured
her in various consultations in the
heavens. With some the milking
of the COW was accompanied by
religious ceremony. Too, in many
instances the most valued tribute
victors in war exacted from the van

thousand years ago expressed their

requirements of their bodily needs
in a land flowing with milk and

To-day conditions are very much
the same. Those nationalities who
live in countries where the dairy
COW is prominent are physically
strong and mentally efficient. And
the difference cannot be accounted
for by climatic conditions, for the
Arab, a liberal milk user, both in
olden days and today, is a splendid
