According to w. H. Rice, poultry
specialist for the University of Mary

way to their rivals from Virginia

respectively, succeeded in running
Up 1880 points for the first place ir

Water Really Chief
/. Constituent of Body

Water is more important sub
stance tlian we are inclined to admit.
Besides its value as a beverage, its
utility as home for fish, its function
as common carrier of the worlds
shipping, its use as washing medium,
1t plays an important role in human
life as the chief constituent of the
body. ey
The human body Is approximately
twO-thirtls water. An average person
: of I50e pounds weight carries around
with him at all times about 100
pounds. or ~ gallons of water. This
water supply is very delicately al
justed so that the intake of water and
the water resulting from oxidative
processes, balances the losses occur
ring from the various excretory proc
esses. -s.ss.,-g Ill.
This compensatory balance some
times fails. The extremes of NAL
regulation which result are represent
ed. by thirst and anhydremia on the
one hand and edema on the other.

fifth and the watery blood only about
One-fOurteenth of the total. When

The muscles lose only small proper

of the large capacity of the muscular

KEEP DOGS UNDER LEASH

The Game Division of the Conser-
walton Department of Maryland, as
has been it's policy during the past
several years, is now distributing
throughout the Counties approxima-
tely $4,000 cott0n-tail rabbits and
5000 bob-white quail for propaga-
ton purposes. We all know in
order to propagate game same must
be protected, not only against their
natural enemies, but against man as
we'll. The worst nuisance and caus-
ing the greatest calamity particular
ly to cotton-tail rabbits and bob
white quail is the roaming Dog and
the house Cat.
Sportsmen wake up to the neces-
sity of protecting your game and out
door recreation which Is enjoyed by
those hunting during the lawful
season. Keep your dogs under
leash and your cats at home and en-
deavor to persuade others to follow
your example. By so doing you will
not only be benefting yourself, but
at the same time will be complying
with the statewide law which pro
hibits dogs from running at large
between March list and September
Game cannot be propagated in the
same covers where dogs and cats
are allowed to destroy same. 4
successful hunting season is usually
determined by those interested in tht
preservation of game and with the
cooperation of the sportsmen anc
public in general an increase in our
upland game can be assured for the
coming season,
The Game Division, through reve-
nue. derived from the sale of hunting
licenses, annually expends thousands
of dollars for purchasing rabbits and
quail for restocking the covers, and
unless your dogs are kept out of the
covers our efforts to re-establish
these species of game will be in vain
A mother rabbit has not a chance of
getting away from pursuing dog
We solicit your hearty cooperation
in this very important matter.

Inns Historic Stone

of Edward w are said to have sharp
ened their swords on the way to the
battle Of Baner. on April IA, 1471.
When it was heard that the inn
was to be reconstructed 1t was feared
that this historic stone would be re-

stone Is to remain on the spot on
which it stood on the day of the
battle.

Ancient Chinese Tombs
Gigantic in Extent

Some 200 miles west of Peking
China, says the Pathfinder Magazine,
Carl Whiting Bishop, curator of the
Freer gallery, examined tombs of the
North Wei dynasty, which was found
ed by Tartars from Mongolia and
lasted from the Fourth to the Sixth
century B. G. The enormous amount
of labor which went into the construc-
ton of these tombs is indicated by
the size of one Of them. 1t is so feet
high and has a circumference of near
ly half mile, being made entirely o:
earth. In front of this was an altar
and impressive temples undoubtedly
marked the site.
These temples, as is common in
China, were Of wood and so have dis
appeared. China had no stone archi
lecture. This is a distinctive feature
of Chinese civilization and explains
the absence of such ruins as the .Rn-
man Coliseum, the Athenian Part
non or the Egyptian Sphynx. The
Chinese used wood altogether.

Even among the elders we see so
little of the old-fashioned fastidious-
ness nowadays that we were attracted
by an incident on the street last week.
We saw white-haired gentleman APP
proach two boys who were playing
with kitten and join them. Then we
saw him extract from his pocket pair
of gloves. return one of them and pull
the other carefully over his right hand.
This completed, he employed his
gloved hand to pat the kitten and
tickle it's ribs for minute or two. He
then arose. carefully removed his

THE VETS FAIL in THE HOUSE

Drys in the House of Representa-
tives at Washington asserted their
over, .whelming strength last week,
when they smothered move to pre-
vent the Federal prohibition bureau
from requiring poisons to be put in
industrial alcohol.
BY the vote of 1877 to 80, the
House defeated an amendment offer
ed by Rep. j. Charles Linthlcum,
Democrat, of Maryland, header OF the
wet bloc, to the pending appropria-
ton for the prohibition bureau, pre-
venting poisons from being put into
alcohol.
An amendment of Representative
LaGuardla, Democrat Of New York,
10 increase the appropriation for
prohibition enforcement from the
$12,729,14O carried in the bill, to
SIS, 100000 was defeated, 1872 to IL.
Representative Palmisano, Demo-
crat, of Maryland, offered an amend
ment to prevent salaries being paid
to former convicts in the prohibition
bureau and to men in the service
having two indictments pending
against them. He mustered Al to
1853 in opposition.
Representative Cramton, of Mich
igan, said:
.They are trying in this amend
ment to hamstring the Government
in enforcing prohibition. They are
not aiming at prohibition directly
but trying to break it down by indi-
rect means.

Lithuania when they met in the
council of the League of Nations to
try and bring about better relations
between their two countries.

existed between them for seven

Goodwill means the understanding

place in the sun, it means also
Friendship and deeds of friendship.

High and Lou "T:dss"
in Human Blood FlosO

Daily tides in blood pressure, heart
beat and other functions of the human
body, almost as regular as the tides of
the sea, may be caused by mysterious
forces beyond the earth, as are the
ocean tides. Such is the statement of
DR.. P. L. Morhardt, French physiol-
cgist, who suggests that they may be
produced by daily variations in cleo
trification of the air, says Popular
Science Monthly.
1t is well known to physicians, Doc
tor Morhardt points out, that the tenn
perature of the body rises slowly in
the forenoon and reaches it's height al
about four or five o'clock in the after
noon. During the evening it recedes.
reaching "low tide" in the early MORN
ing. Similar high and low tides al
about the same hours are found also
in the human pulse rate, in the amount
of oxygen used in breathing, and in
blood pressure. A strange fact is that
the flow of tides in persons who work
at night is no different from that of
persons who are active during the
day. That sunlight is not responsible
is evidenced by the fact. according to
Doctor Morhardt, that in northern
countries like Iceland, where there is
a season when the sun never sets, the
same rhythm of bodily tides persists
Either mankind has daily tides in
bodily functions, or some external
cause is affecting us all in the same
way. ~
