Why Maryland Hesitates.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. May "a, 1776.
What will lie the effect upon the
movement for independence of Mary
lands renewed instructions to its
delegates in the Continental Congress
to oppose independence? VIII Mary
land remain firm in her opposition
to separation from Britain. or will
Samuel Chase, Charles Carroll of
Carrollton and other strong advocates
of independence be able to swing the
colony into line before the issue
comes up for final decision in the
Continental Congress?
Leading patriots say that however
favorably the members of the Mary
land convention may be disposed at
present toward efforts for a recon
ciliation with the King, they will not
long be able to stem the current
which in several provinces runs
strongly toward independence.
Maryland's situation is peculiar.
No other province Of all the l3 has
as much reason as Maryland for
wishing to give the King every
reasonable opportunity to offer terms
of reconciliation. There Is still Il
strong disposition to await the coming
of the peace commissioners who are
believed to be on their way from
England at the present time. Many
are saying that the Kings commits

Clues to Character

knowledge of human character is
derived mainly from three sources.
The most important sources from
whence we derive this knowledge are
the face. the hands and the voice
resent the entire personality.
The voice gives us clue to char
acter which the secretive person
thinks he hides. The intensity of
emotion is best expressed by the voice.
The voice always corresponds to the
character of the person, animal or
instrument that makes it--whether it
be the roaring of the lion or the soft
tones of violin.
Through its relations to muscular
system it gives expression to the in
terror states of mind and emotion.
The voice reveals the dominant 1sys-
tenn of the organism, and thus the
observer can learn by the first sounds
emitted to which class of mind the
speaker belongs.

If It's Worth Noting.

How many fine recipes have you
lost forever because you forgot the
idea or the combination? How many
times day must you look up
telephone numbers which should be
ever handy or addresses which have
slipped your mind? If your mind
won't hold facts, try paper and ink.
There are handy little memorandum
pads for the phone. Some Of them
fit around the mouthpiece of the re-
cefver. They are arranged alphabet
ically in leaves, SO that it takes but
second TO find your party. You can
buy them in leather or cloth covered
pads which will match your telephone
box or furnishings. Other telephone
pads are made for desks. On one
side is your directory" and on the
other is a pad for making notes and
appointments. If YOU have an ac-
cessible desk it's just the thing.
A little loose leaf note book is for
recipes. Buy one small enough to
fit in your purse. You can devote
the front part of it TO recipes OF
friends. etc, and the rear to notes
about social engagements. Such "a
convenience is practical, economical
and inexpensive.
Few of us can remember addresses
from wear to year, Nnd when we want

A Red Nose.

One Of the most annoying Affections
is a red nose Usually it is quite un-
necessary and is due to indigestion
that can be relieved by dieting for a
few DAYS. by taking laxative med
icine if that seems necessary. and by
drinking. lots of water. One OF the
best ways of preventing a red nose,
if there is tendency that way, is by
drinking two tumblerfuls of quite hot
water as soon as you get up In the
morning. This flushes out the entire
system, particularly the kidneys.
A red nose. however, may some
times be due to skin trouble. In the
old days it's most frequent cause
after indigestion was tight lacing. but
at present, thank fortune, nobody
laces at all, and clothes are loose on
every part of the figure. Anything
that interferes with the circulation
might cause a red nose, even tight
armholes will do so. Quite cften 1t
is due to stoppage in the minute
veins which supply blood to the nose.
Instead Of circulating freely the
blood stays there OF passes through
80 slowly that it congests, becomes
thick and dark and gives the nose its
ugly, infiamed appearance. Or II the
blood is too thick owing to indiges-
ton or some such cause, 1t will not
pass freely through these small veins.
You must remember that the circu]a-
ton is slower at this. than at ny
other part of the body.

The signs do not indicate any great
measure Of success for new or un-
tried Undertakings. They do, now
ever, denote that the days routine
will not prove either irksome or
monotonous. In the evening, better
conditions promise to prevail, al
though they will more influence the
emotions than efforts Of a practical
character. 1t will prove to be an
ideal opportunity for putting love to
the test" and those who plight their
troth during these hours will enjoy
a blissful engagement. followed, at an
early date, by a congenial marriage.
Children born tomorrow promise to
become a JOY and a pride to their
parents, both physically and morally.
This does not mean to say that they
will escape all the viciSsitudes that
are inherently associated with in
fancy. 1t does imply, however, that
they will successfully overcome all
their weaknesses and attain good,
healthy maturity. Their characters
will be attractive, and they will
readily yield to favorable influence,
and no resort WILL at any time, be
necessary to forceful methods. In
fact, these, in the case Of such chill
dren, would prove disastrous, and
liable to bring about the consequences
that 1t Is thought advisable to avoid.
These children will be intelligent, in
dustrious and painstaking. and their
faults will never be serious ones.
If tomorrow is your birthday, you
are blessed with a very dignified sense
of your own importance. This evokes
visibility, but does not impress. By
learning not to take yourself so seri-
ously, and by becoming little more
human and placing yourself on a level
with others, you would attract more
worthwhile friends, and cause them
while bringing happiness
to yourself. You are intelligent, con-
scientious, and your integrity Is un.
questioned. Pompousness and airs of
superiority are your besetting weak
ness. Get rid of these, and success
awaits you!

mutual friends for addresses. and
during the year you won't slight
friends on their birthday. etc. One
handy little pad has spaces for birth
days and anniversaries throughout the
year. 1t is made for perpetual use.
OF course a social calendar is a
necessity for many women. It's SO
easy to forget that your sewing circle
meets for it's annual picnic on the
second Saturday In June. When that
day arrives you remember that you've
promised grandma to take her to
Aunt Mary's. Social calendars end
all fussing and fuming. Each ap-
pointment you make Is set down, and
there is no chance for conflict or dis.
appointment. Often a large calendar
is best. so that every member of the
family can use it, and you can tell in
an instant where every one is, or is
going to be.
Last of all there are personal
diaries. A small diary is a wonderful
experience and a very convenient re-
minder of things you wish to keep
fresh in the memory.
Mental notes are soon lost, but ink
will often serve you better. A well
chosen assortment of pads and note

First. 1 will answer your simplest
question. Fruits are suggested for
those who have acid indigestion for
the simple reason that they do not
remain acid in the body. They are
burned just as other elements and
their final reaction is alkaline. One
with an acid stomach should have a
diet in which acid-for7ning foods and
alkaline foods are balanced. This is
a general rule. 1t must, it is true, be
modified occasionally by having in
the diet a preponderance of alkaline
foods. The details of modifying such
a diet must be decided from day to
day according to the condition of the
individual.
That you may be assisted in fornu-
lating diet with reasonable guam
tity of both alkaline and acid foods. l
am very glad to give YOU the follow
ing list: Among the alkaline foods are
apples, apricotS, asparagus, lima
beans. string beans, beets, cabbage,
carrots. caulifiower, celery, chard,
cherries. cranberries, dates, grapes,
lemon juice, lettuce, mushrooms,
muskmelons, olives, onions. oranges.
parsnips, peas. peaches. pears. pine
apple, plums. potatoes, prunes, pump
kin. radishes. raisins, raspberries.
rhubarb. spinach, tomatoes, turnip.
watermelon and milk.
Among the acid-forning foods are
meats. especially meat extracts, soups
and broths. fish, eggs. cheese, cereal.
bread and fats

to the effect of certain foods on your
Individual constitution, 1 can only
say your experience is a common one.

When the Air Feels Heavy.

On a hot, sticky day we say the air
feels heavy, while on beautiful clear
one ii feels light, and we would i'm
agine that the air at sea level should
feel heavier than that on a mountain
top, where there may be a column OF
air miles high lifted from our
chests by ascending a high peak. Yet
though we use the words light and
heavy in this way. science views the
conditions of the atmosphere the
other way. On a cloudy, hot day the
barometric pressure Is actually low,
which means the air above us is
weighing less and the heavy" feeling
is due to humidity. which prevents
the pores of the skin from breathing
and perspiring readily. On a clear
day, when the body feels more COM
Portable. the air is actually heavier.
Yet on a mountain top. due to rarifi-
cation of the mountain air, heavy
sensation overtakes the climber.
though actually the air is much
lighter.
Now what do you know about that?
