BEFORE BOSTON "TEA PARTY"
♦. y 7
Annapolis Had a Little Celebration of
Its Own That Wu Fully M
Spectacular.
Much publicity has been given the
"Boston Tea Party," which was pic
turesque as well as significant, but
it was not the only "tea. party" of
that time. Annapolis, the capital
of Maryland, had an equally good
one* with the same intents and pur
poses and fully as spectacular. In
the summer of 1774 the brigantine
Peggy Stewart entered the port of
Annapolis with a cargo of tea. The
people of the city regarded the ship
ment as an insult and a defiance of
their will. They gathered in the
street to denounce the local import
ers and to organize for the destruc
tion of the tea.
The local importers appealed to
Charles Carroll of Carrollton for
protection. His answer was that the
only way by which they Sould escape
personal violence would be to bnrn
both ship and cargo instantly, and
in plain sight of the infuriated pop
ulace. This was done, and the burn
ing ship and cargo in Annapolis
harbor was quite as spectacular as
the emptying of a cargo of tea into
Boston harbor.

AMERICAN RED CROSS
TO GIVE RURAL HEP
Program for Public Health and
Community Welfare Is Now
Wed Under Way.
Rural communities sod towns of less
than 8,000 population benefit in a very
large part by tbe public health and
community welfare work of the Ameri
can Red Cross. Almost all- of the
8,600 Red Cross chapters have some
rural sections in their territory. There
fore the Red Cross Rural Service.
Briefly, the purpose of Rural Serv
ice Is to assist people to get out of life)
more heultli, wealth and happiness. In
this purpose public health Instruction
snd general educational progress of
both children tod sdults play s big
part. •
Recreation is found to be one of the
biggest needs In rural life. There Is
lack of sufficient play-life for the chil
dren and social life for the adults.
Picnics, pageants, debating clubs,
baseball leagues, community singing
and other social events which bring
the people of surrounding communities
together have been organised and car
ried on under tbe guidance of Red
Cross rural workers to great advan
tage. In many Instances solving rec
reational problems and'getting people
together proves to be the awakening
of the community to other conditions
which may be Improved by united
action.
As s restflt of community organisa
tion, townships In which there bad
been neither plans nor Interest la
community progress have been organ
ised to work together with the' unified
purpose of bringing their community
up to the most ehliglitened standards. 1
Lecture and musical entertainment
courses have been stnrted as a result
of community meetings, as well as cir
culating libraries, Red Cross schools of
Instruction In Home Nursing, Care of
tbe Sick and First Aid. In tbe larger
towns the need for restrooins and pub
lic comfort stations la being met Play
grounds for tbe children have been
established and recreational activities
worked oat for the year.
In order that there may be concerted
effort In carrying on the programs of
the vsrions welfare agencies In the
rural districts. Red pros* Rural Serv
ice helps tbe organisations already on
the ground. Tbe main object of the
service Is to lend e hand everywhere
and take tbe lead only where neces

When we speak of houses built of
clay, we mean BRICK. But I;I the
Yunnan province of China,, on the
banfcs'of a certain river, the idea it
carried out much more literally, in
aa much as there a lofty vertical
cliff of day affords homes, rent-free
for several hundred" people.
The stuff is a bright jrellow clay
of so fine a texture-that a bit of it
rubbed between the fingers' affords
no feeling of grit. It is easily dug
ont with spades, and a great many
cave dwellings have been excavated
in the faoe of the* cliff, overlooking
the river. • i
Some of there are of two or three
stories, the day being so tenacious
that thick horizontal layers of it
will furnish a series of floors. Al
though cave-dwellings are not un
familiar in other parts of the world,
nothing at all like these are to be
found anywhere else.
Scattered over the face' of the
cliff, among the cave houses, are
quaint Buddhist shrines, with
"images, carved out of clay, standing
or sitting at the entrances. Those
high up on the day wall, as well aa
the loftier family homes, are
reached by bamboo ladders.

Old Gentleman Wad Merely Handing

Deserved Rebuke.
A young society woman had been
visiting at her mother's home for
about a week and during that time
had startled the entire family by
some of the statements she' had
made and some of the things she
had done. But yet none had the
courage to criticize her until one
day her grandfather, who made his
home there, said:
"Helen, my dear, if you live to be
ten years older youwill then be very
much like your mother was when
she was your age."
Helen dimpled at the evident
compliment. "Not hardly that long,
grandfather,* she demurred. "I
know that women grew older much
more rapidly then than they do now,
but still—"
"Fiddlesticks!" interrupted her
grandfather, testily, "I wasn't
thinking of them growing older. I
don't know anything about that.
What I was thinking Qbout waa

Fbr years physicians have been
searching for a form of iron that could
be combined with certain other in
gredients like pepsin, etc., for use in
treating chronic disorders of the di
gestive tract, mal-aasimilatkm etc.,
etc. This is sufficient evidence that
jnodicine recognizes the great value
of iron, for stomach troubles when
administered in proper form.
If you have been disappointed with
lack of results from pills and tonics
said to contain iron you can now un
derstand that the iron was not pre

by the stomach into the system. And
therefore could not possibly bring you
