ST. LOUIS, July 1.-The chair
man OF the American Bar Associa-
tion's Committee on Federal Elec-
ton Laws asserted today a national
conspiracy for the fraudulent elec-
ton of the President of the United
States could be carried out without
violating any Federal law.
A report by Arthur J. Freund Of

the presidency was possible because
the only Federal statute on the
subject of election frauds does not
cover voting for presidential elec-
tors.

THE 3 ssR'S" ARE RECON-
MENDED FOR HEALTH

Children brought up according to
the three RS of mouth health, have
a good chance to escape the discom-
forts and accompany ill-health that
come from dental disorders, accord
ing to DR.. Richard C. Leonard, Chief
of the Division of Oral Hygiene of the
Maryland State Departmnt of Health.
"This season of the year, when the
children are getting adjusted to
school routine, is particularly ap-
propriate time," DR.. Leonard said, ito
give special thought to the physical
as well as the mental aspects of a
child's development. The child who
is physically fit makes much better
progress in school, than does the boy
or girl who is below par. Parents
can help to keep their children fit by
carefully following the rules of mouth
health in bringing up the children.
"The three RS" he continued, "of
course, are not Reading, 'Riting and
'Rithmetic.' But are Right foods;
Real cleansing and Regular office
visits which are as important to mouth
health as the old three RS to mental
development.
"The teeth and other mouth tissues
depend for their original structural
strength and their continued resis-
lance to ill-health on the quality and
quantity of building materials made
available in the foods one eats. The
first set (baby) teeth obtain their
materials from the mother before a
child's birth. The permanent set may
depend on the diet of both the mother
and the child itself. Consequently,
the diets of both should be rich in cal
cium, PHOSPHORUS and in those vita
minis that seem to affect mouth It's
sues. That is, there must be the
fright" food in the diet for strong
decay resisting teeth.
Real cleansing means twice-a-
day, thorough brushing of the teeth,
with effort to reach every tooth sur
face and, finally, the equally thorough
flushing of the mouth with some mild
anitseptic liquid. The germs that

ABOUT BRIDGE
Question AS To Where The New
Span Will Be Built Will
Be Decided

1. An application of the Maryland
State Roads Commission for approval
of plans for a bridge across Sinepux-
emit Bay at Ocean City, Maryland, will
be considered at public hearing on
the subject to be held by the under
signed or his representative in the
hall of the fire engine house, Dorches-
ter Street, Ocean City, Maryland, at
loo P. M. on November 1, 1889.

ed to be present or to be represented

particularly navigation interests and
the officials of any county, city, town
or local association whose interests
may be affected by bridge as pro-
posed. They will be given an oppor-
tunity to express their views upon the
situation and adequacy of the propos-
ed plans in reference to navigation,
and to suggest changes considered de-
sirable in the interest of navigation
Your attention is called to the fact
that general statements concerning
traffic and other conditions are not
satisfactory aids to forming an opin-
ion on matters of this sort. The type
of information of most value consists
of definite facts, such as number OF
trips per season, name, draft and size
of boat, type Of cargo, number OF
times grounded in a particular chan
mel, wharves and parties served, and
other data whose accuracy can be
checked.
8. Oral statements will be heard,
but for accuracy of record all impor-
tant facts and arguments should be
submitted in writing, as the records
of the hearing will be forwarded for
consideration by the War Department
Written statements may be handed in
at the hearing or mailed to this Of
flee beforehand. It is requested that
they be presented in triplicate.

plicant show that it is proposed to
cross Sinepuxent Bay at South Divis-

MEETING CALLED
TO SETTLE BASE
BALL QUESTION
Fans Are Asked To Meet In
Municipal Building On Mon
day Next, At 8 p. M. :
INTEREST SHOWN WILL DE-
TERMINE FATE OF GAME

Since the close of the 1889 base ball
season in Pocomoke City, the game
here has been in rather an unsettled
condition, so far as its continuance
during the season Of 1910.
Pocomoke has had three years of
Eastern Shore ball. The close of the
season of 1887 found the local club
very close to the cellar position, and
in the two following years, 1888 and
1889, the team was firmly intrenched
at the bottom long before the seasons
had ended.
The interest which seemed very
keen in 1887 was somewhat dulled by
the showing during the other years;
and, this year, Mr.. Arthur Ehlersl
owner of the franchise, felt himself
compelled to desert the home grounds
and play the Pocomoke scheduled
games on foreign diamonds-so
meagre, according to his reports, was
the support of the fans.
Before the season closed, however
he returned to this city, and completed
the years schedule. In the meantime
tho, negotiations were said to have
been started by local fans to purchase
the franchise from Mr.. Ehlers, under
the belief that base ball would flourish
here under different management

Once again comes the fall athletic
season to Pocornoke High and, as in
other years, it brings About
the only conceivable sign of the Soc
Ger season is that new ball has been
purchased and the goal posts have
been put up. The lack of interest in
school makes a person wonder if there
is a need for soccer.
The boys have played well this
season in spite of the fact that sew
eral of the regulars have been drop
ped because Of marks. It is to be
hoped that they will soon be back in
the lineup.
So far this season they have suf-
fered two defeats, one in a practice
game with Marion High. The score
was 40. The first game of the seas
on was played at Berlin on the 18th

hindering scholastic sports is the very
