by strong, plucky workers determined to
put behind them the nightmare OF des-

waste of hills and GaIes, is once more level.
Fit by bit the system Of draining by
means Of tile pipes laid every so many

Flemish farmer to make of agriculture
an economic success which was the envy
Of many nations.

Night Coughing
Quickly Stopped
New Way Simple But
5 Very Effective

Night coughing, with its distressing
loss of sleep and dangerous sapping
Of strength and vitality, can now be
almost instantly checked through a
simple but wonderfully effective treat
ment that is economical, too.
This treatment is based on the IA
nous prescription known as DR.. Kings
New Discovery for Coughs. For aston
ishing relief make this test tonight
before retiring: Simply take one tea
spoonful and hold it in the throat for
Is or 20 seconds before swallowing il.
The prescription has double action.
i not only soothes and heals soreness
and irritation, but it quickly loosens
and removes the phlegm and conges-
ton which are the real cause of night
coughing. SO with the cause removed,
coughing stops quickly and you sIeep
the whole night through.
The Dr.. Kings New Discovery pre-
scription is for coughs, chest colds,
sore throat, hoarseness, bronchitis.

as well as grown-ups no harmful

Yardsicks Used By
Health Department
Erths, Deaths, And Record OF
Communicable Diseases In
State Measured

Three yard sticks ara used by the
Maryland State Department OF Health
to measure the Health Of the people
Of the State. Two are operated by
the Bureau of Vital Statistics and the
third by the Bureau Of Communicable
Diseases. The first is the register Of
births; the second, the register of
deaths, and theathird is the record of
communicable diseases, as they oc-
ear, throughout the State.
These figures are collected DIR. Jno.

partment of Health said, in order that
the State may know just where it

stands in the matter Of life and death.
It is like Bookkeeping that a bank has
to do, to check up on the income and
outgo Of its resources. The promp.
and accurate registration of births
deaths and communicable diseases il
consequently one Of the most import.
ant functions Of the State Department
of Health.
What is known as the infant NOR.
tally rate is found by measuring the
total number Of deaths Of babies under
"a year old against the total number Of
babies born in any one year. The to.
tai death rate or the death rate from
any particular disease-heart disease
tuberculosis, pneumonia, for instances
lis found by measuring the total
number Of deaths or the deaths from
the disease in question against the
total population Of the county, city o.
State. In case Of epidemics, or Of
other outbreaks of any disease, such
for instance, as typhoid, diphtheria
scarlet fever, smallpox, the case ia.
tally rate, which is discovered by
checking up the total number of deaths
against the number of cases that have
been reported, gives a clue to those
who are fighting the disease as to the
virulence of the germ.
AS practically all civilized coun-
tries employ the same "yardsticlls,'
rates within certain limits have come
to have definite significance as to
standards Of living, standards Of
health and of disease control in the
communities In which they occur. By
students Of public health activities,
the death rate among babies under a
year old is regarded-as one Of the
most distinguished sanitarians ex-
pressed it-as the most sensitive in
dex" we possess Of social welfare and
of health administration. Some idea
of the way in which certain unfavor-
able conditions have been brought un-
der control in Maryland are indicated
by the following figures: in the ten
years from 1915 to 1924, inclusive,
the infant mortality rate in Maryland
went down from 120 per thousand
births to SO deaths during the first
year of life to each thousand births.
In other words, in 1915, one out Of
every eight babies born, died before
it was a. year old. Now the number
has been cut down to one out Of ap-
proximately every twelve.

That the Eastern Shore Of Mary
land, Delawarea nd Virginia, has al
ready received considerable publicity
through the publicity Of its publicity
campaign-was evidenced last week
by an occurrence in Florida Booster
meeting.
A big meeting, consisting Of about
$50 leaders Of the Palm Beaches
Palm Beach and West Palm Beach
met at the Ell Verano Hotel. The
meeting was put on by the Greater
Palm Beach Chamber of Commerce as
Ia part Of the Florida State Chamber
of Commerce plan for holding meet
ings in the various cities to raise a
$500, 900 publicity fund to tell the out
side world the real truth about Flori-
da and offset what they term the Gin
sidious" propaganda being published
throughout the United States and ev-
en- abroad. This meeting was address,
ed by Harry r. McKeen, Jacksonville,
Director Extension and Finance I'm an
eloquent and inspiring talk. In speak
ing of the various communities in
which propaganda against the influx
into Florida was being carried, he
mentioned the Eastern Shore Of Mary
land, Virginia and Delaware, saying
in much these words:
cup there they have a section very
similar to Florida. A group Of men,
by the way ,one connected with our or
ganization, opened campaign in De-
cember. was offered the largest fee
I ever received to go and open the
campaign. I did not fall for the bait
which would have ben that they would
hav gloried in advertising to the out
side world that a Floridian had left
this section and gone there to put on
a campaign"
It will be seen from the above that
the outside world is beginning to sit
up and take notice. A grading, stan
Gardizing and marketing organization
that will be able to sell our crops in
the markets after they are produced,
will make this the real "garden spot
of the country.
The general condition of the move
to raise 100000 for each of the next
two years, is considered good. Wi

of the total amount; Delaware viii do

seem to be behind the movement all
over the Shore. Over $4,000 Of the

Talbot Gamers have q vital interest
in making known TO the Department
Of Agriculture whether they desire
extension of the Federal warehouse
act to public warehouses that store
canned fruits and vegetables. Since
canning is a considerable state indus
try, it is accepted at the department
that Talbot Gamers viii be heard
from.
Extension of the act depends largely
on the amount of interest shown by
the industry as a whole.
Gamers who have asked that the
act be made to cover their products
believe such action would tend to sta
billie prices by facilitating orderly
marketing. Steadier markets, they be-
lieve, would be created not only for
canned products but also for the farm
ers' raw materials.

The officials Of the Claiborne-An-
napolis Ferry Company expected to
have made a contract last week for
the building of new ferry steamer.
1t is assumed the contract has been
placed.
The steamer may be completed in
time for business in the late. fall. It
has been determined to use DIESEL en-
gines, four in number, coupled up as
a unit. These engines will be set be-
low the deck, thus doing away with
any center obstruction ON the main
deck, giving room for more cars.
These engines are of the latest type,
and will be capable Of driving the
boat at a high speed, in fact the run
will be made in an hour and ten min
utes.
There will be ample passenger ac-
commodation on the upper deck, with
dining room, rest room, smoking rooms
and every possible convenience. The
boat is designed with a view of meet
ing the traffic it will have to encour-
ter. The various weather and tide
conditions of the run are figured to be
met to the best advantage.
The handling of cars will be reduc-
ed to a fine science. The full load of
from 60 to 20 cars can all be unload
ed in not more than five minutes.
