Twelve Counties Running
Ahead On Christmas
Seal Sales

Reports to head quarters of the
county Christmas Seal Sale chair
men show that IL counties are run
ming ahead of their 1898 Seal sale
record and 10 counties have fallen
behind, the Maryland tuberculosis
Association announced.
Many of these have gone ahead
by large amounts and others have
fallen far behind, they reported.
Those that have done well will be
assured a comprehensive anti-tuber-
culosis program during the new year
as 70 percent of the funds raised
in a county remains in the county for
this work. The remaining amount
goes to the state association for
state wide work with the exception
of percent which goes to the Ma
tional tuberculosis Association for
continuing it's work.
at is still not too late for those
which have fallen behind to make up
the difference between the record
for this year and last years record
william B. Matthews, managing d.
rector of the state association said.
"There are still many seals tucked
away in desk and table drawers
which have been overlooked in the
holiday excitement.
"If teh people who still retain
these unpaid for Seals would make
returns to their chairmen, the diff
ference between 1898 and 1889
sales would soon be made up"
Much anti-tuberculosis work re-
mains to be done in Maryland, Mr..
Matthews added, as the death rate
from this disease is still high. The
death rate has been steadily lower
ed ever since the organized fight to
control the disease began, but each
year tuberculosis takes over thous-
and lives in this state and causes
additional misfortune or many
others.

OLD FARMERS ALMANAC

We have received copy of 1910
Old Farmers Almanac, published
every year since 1893 and founded
by Robert B. Thomas. Little, Brown
and Co., "a Beacon Street, Boston,
Mass, are publishers of this valu-
able little year book.
Signs point to the fact that The
Old Farmers Almanac has been
more popular than ever this last
year, the 147th in it's long life. This
is remarkable in an age when wealth
er predictions are in every daily
paper and when 1t is reported at
frequent intervals daily over the
radio and when astronomical fea-
lures are made the news of the day.
The fact remains, however, that a
large group of persons still rely on
the Almanac and must have it.
The Old Farmers Almanac is
much of a sameness each year. This
must be to supply the information
expected, but it's readers this year
will welcome the article by Governor
Saltonstall of Massachusetts, the
original poem by Robert P. Tristram
Coffin, the contribution on Hurri-
canes by G. Harold Moves of the
Federal Weather Bureau, the agri-
cultural information by Dean East
man of the University of New Hamp-
shire and his associates, and the sew
eral interesting and charming fea-
lures by Arthur w. Bell, as well as
many other pages of diversified in
formation. Those who follow the
astronomical calculations will be
especially interested in an account
Of the unusual array of bright plan
cts during 1910.

Successful farming requires a
thorough knoledge Of marketing.
Realizing this, the farmers OF a
generation ago organized marketing
cooperatives, whose main job is to
see that member farmers get a fair
price for their goods.
The Farm Credit Administrator
has published a series Of pamphlets,
entitled "You and Your Coop" They
explain what marketing cooperation
means to the farmer; how marketing
cooperatives are organized, how
they are managed and how farm
products may be merchandised
through such organizations. The
Pamphlets likewise describe how to
size up" cooperative in order to
decide whether or not you wish to
belong.
Cooperation is the key to scien-
tific farming. Information such as
this is invaluable to the progressive
farmer. The pamphlet may be obtain
ed by dropping a card to the Farm
Credit Administration, Washington,

HALF MILLION SOCIAL SECUR.
ITY NUMBERS FILED

Something like half million Soc
ial Security numbers for workers
are now filed in the office of the
Maryland Unemployment Compen-
sation Board and the figures grows
steadily. These cards or numbers
are stored in long rows of filing
;ases and are in duplicate. One set
of files runs alphabetically and the
other numerically.
OF the names and numbers filed,
between 100000 and 100000 are
hose of employees whose occupa-
ions are covered by the Maryland
unemployment compensation act.
Some of these employees may be
covered by this law. Some not COW
cred now may be covered later, as
their occupations shift. For instance,
cook in a private home can get
no benefit as the law now stands
out if employed in a hotel or rest
aurant where the total number of
workers amounts to four or more,
there is protection. One may be in a
covered occupation one year and out
Of it the next, SO the files include all
employees who ask for the Social
Security card. The Social Security
,mees, of which there are four in
Maryland, issue these cards.
In the first half of December
benefit payments paid to Maryland's
unemployment amounted to 1885,
1913.
Claims for unemployment bene-
fits filed with the Maryland Unem-
ployment Compensation Board in
che four weeks ending December 16
numbered 56,641. In the preceding
four weeks the total was 4S,550.
In this calendar year, up to De-
cember 16, claimants who never be-
lore asked compensation In Mary
land, numbered 44,1SS.
Original claims In the four-week
period ending December 16 num-
bered 1880. In the preceding four
week period the aggregate was

Protect The Youngsters
Against Pneumonia

Here are some of the ways by
which babies and young children
can be protected against the colds
and pneumonias that are SO prevail
ent at this time of the year. The
advice comes from the Maryland
State Department of Health, through
the Director, DR.. r. H. Riley.
Most of us know how serious
pneumonia Is, but not every one
realizes that 1t is particularly dang
erous for babies and young children.
A child under one year of age who
has pneumonia Is very much more
likely to die than an older child.
Through the use of the new
drug, sulfapyridine, doctors and
health workers hope to save many
lives this year, which would have
been lost in the past. The drug will
be available all over the State and
the State Department of Health has
worked out plans to help the doc
tors of the State in their efforts to
use 1t effectively and safely.
Improvement in treatment will
mean saving many lives but many
more could be saved If the children
were protected against contracting
pneumonia in the first place.
"A few simple precautions should
be followed: No person with cold
should be allowed to handle or even
come close to baby. The rule
should apply to relatives as well as
friends.If the mother, or other per-
son taking care of the baby, has a
cold, she should wear a mask and be
especially careful about washing her
hands before touching the baby.
ut is we'll known that children
who are in general good health are
in a much better position to fight
off an infection than those not in the
best condition. The best and surest
way to secure good health for child
is to keep him or her under the reg
ular supervision of a doctor or q
we'll baby clinic. In this way one car
be certain that the child is getting
the right kinds of food and the vita
minis that insure good health.
"If a cold should develop in g
child, it is not safe to place any re-
lance on the well advertised colo
cures or so-called plans. Such pre-
parations are usually valueless anG
in some instances may do harm
Nose drops should never be used fol
a child except under doctors
orders.
1.-THE baby who has fever or {
sereve cough or is refusing food
needs a doctor without unnecessary
delay, Time wasted in trying home
remedies or patent medicines may
greatly impair the doctors chances
to use really effective treatment
such as sulfapyridine.
ain short, insure good genera
health by having the child under
regular supervision; do everything
possible to prevent colds; if a colo
does develop do not use any medi
cine, or rubs, or drops except under
doctors orders; if the child seems
ill, call the doctor without delay.
