To SAVE
VAST AMOUNT

Maryland will spend $7,000,O0O
less in 1884 for State expenses
than in 1888 in an effort to pro-
mote intelligent economy, Gov.
Albert C. Ritchie declared today.
In announcing the result Of the
drastic cut the governor said his
State had found there is no royal
road to lower taxes" and the only
way out is to spend less money.
He added:
"a balanced State budget with
an adequate surplus was OBJ
tanned by reducing expenses and
cutting salaries to approximately
$2,OOO,OOO a year.
"Then by discOntinuing the
work of eliminating railroad
grade crossings - because the
railroads were not financially
able to contribute their share
and by applying this money to
our sinking fund account, the
State tax rate was reduced rs
to 20 cents.
I'm this way the State budget
was balanced and the State tax
rate reduced. This was all that
in anything like normal times
the State could be asked or ex-
pected to do. 1t was more than
most other States in the cOun-
try were, in fact, able to do,
because this result was accom-
plished in Maryland with no
new or increased forms of taxa
ton and with no estimated i'm
crease in existing revenues,
whereas State after State had
been able only to produce a bal
anced budget through new or
increased income taxes or sales
taxes or higher gasoline taxes"

That's the Fighting Seventy

known, the Seventy-third Con-
gress Of the United States Of
America. And it has just fin
ished a special session that has
made veterans all over the coun'
try feel as If this Congress didn't
know anything about war.
It is irony that this Congress
of all Congresses should have
refused to pass the bonus bill
and on top Of that cut the vet

for there are some grand fight

tives and Senate.
113 Are Veterans
AS far as statistics go there
are 113 World War veterans
scattered among these $50 men,
a remarkable figure when the
average age Of the legislators is
considered. OF these SO served in
the Army during the World War:
nine in the Navy and two in the

IA served in the Spanish-Ameri-

served in the World War.

During World War was

What flower, tree, bird or AMI
i NAL spells your Spring? If you
do not have one, do not let this
season 60 by without finding one, and
thereafter you will have your own
thrill, for each of us has a definite
reason for accepting signs.
These flowers are firm believers In
the rule of three-three sepals, three
petals, twice three stamens, three styles
and even q three -celled seed box. The
dainty flower grows out Of q whorl OF
three leaves. You can identify your
wake robin now without difdculty.
There are dwarf robins that come earlier
than this one and there are the painted
ones and others. Many have advocated
the adoption Of the wake robin as our
national flower, but there are some
things that would never do until the
black mark Is wiped from its fair repu-
tation. It's berries are said to be
poisonous and the great roots have the
quality used In medicine as an emetic.
The flower has great appeal to the
student and Is a lovely thing wherever
1t is. Truly American and widely dis
tributed, 1t Is well known. England
has become so fond of the wake robins
that great quantities of them are ship

THAT BODY OF YOURS
BY JAMES w. BARTON, M. d.

q certain period Of time, to keep a diary
Of all the articles of food eaten and to
note whether the ailment appears or
the symptoms increase. 1t may then
appear that the symptoms are always
present on the day when some particu-
lar food or combination of foods has
been taken. or on the following day.
Another method is to draw up
series of trial diets, each differing from
the others as far as possible and con-
tanning foods that seldom, if ever. cause
any trouble. Each diet Is tried in turn
for one or two weeks, until one Is found
that does not produce symptoms.
This is used as base or groundwork
and to 1t new foods are added every
three or four days, beginning with those
least likely to cause trouble. Any food
that gives rise to symptoms is avoided,
and the patient thus learns what he
can and what he cannot eat.
When certain of the troublesome
foods really should be eaten. foods such
as milk and eggs, the patient may grad
ually become used to them and have
no symptoms If very small portions are
given and the amounts very slowly in
creased over a period of number Of
months
These suggestions may appear to be
slow method Of ridding ones self Of
these ailments, but it is certainly worth
the necessary effort or sacrifice.
