PICTURES AT TOWN HALL. “THE MAN ON THE BOX,” Wednesday, December 29th, afternoon and evening. Matinee at 2 p. m. Chil dren 10 years and under Free. Lieutenant Bob Warburton, a fancy free, adventuresome spirit, is wounded during an encounter with the Indians and '■ taken to the home of Col. Annesley for medical treatment. Recovering, Bob finds that his service in the aamy has expired and he says he is fiat broke. However, he is rich in ro mance and becomes fascinated by the j Colonel’s daughter, Betty. Betty, not knowing who Bob is, offers him a posi tion as coachman, which he accepts. Many and varied are Bob’s experiences as “The Man on the Box” of the Annes ley coach. Becoming implicated in a plot to de- j fraud t e United States Government of important plans, he thwarts the attempts of a Russian Count and saves important plans. Betty, while visiting Bob’s sister, who is a dear friend, learns from Bob’s photo graph who he is, but allows him to % con tinue as coachman. Bob is entirely ig norant of Betty’s knowledge of his identity. Hetty’s father loses his money; then Bob discloses his identity and admits he is the possessor of a large fortune in his own right; however, Betty’s and Bob's romance is one of pure love and, after a series of intrigues, plots and counter plots, all of which “The Man on the Box” foils, the couple are married and live happily ever after.

It promptly cheeked their cough ing and cured their colds quicker than anything 1 ever used. ” Obtainable every- j where. Advertisement FORD’S GRAND OPERA HOUSE. Week of December 27th, A. H. Woods announces the four-act dramatic success, KICK IN, by Willard Mack, Direct from its sea son’s run at the Republic Theatre, New York. “One of the most interesting produc tions and triumphs of the Metropolis last season. Filled with wonderfully enter taining scenes. A theme that pleases and famous characterization.” When A. H. Woods read “Within the Law” he accepted the play because of the scene in which a burglar is shot with a revolver to which had been attached a Maxim silencer, which made the murder a silent one and more effective than the usual method. When the same producer read “Kick In,” he accepted it wh-n he came to the scene in which the villain is temporarily disabled in a thrilling encounter with the hero through the timely use of a mor phine needle. The Maxim silencer was the most talked of detail of “Within the Law” and the morphine needle episode is the most talked of incident of “Kick In,” the powerful comedy-drama by Wil lard Mack. It is the perfect blend of comedy, pathos and dramas which are account able for the great New York success of “Kick In,” a success which is being re peated in every city visited this season.

Goldsbor ough appointed a committee to invesit gate the evils prevalent in Baltimore City and the larger cities in Maryland. The report of this committee was made public Monday of this week. It is said the report covers 1200 typewritten pages and that much of it is too revolting for publication. The Evening Sun says: “Facts brought to light by a searching and exhaustive investigation of the social evil will come as a great surprise to ma ny who have not deemed possible the things of which the commission gives ir refutable evidence. “Sexual perversion, rare ten years ago, is common; prostitution in one form or another is everywhere; illegitimate babies, the result of this prostitution, are quietly put out of the way—practically murdered—almost anyone can have an abortion procured provided the price is ready; office buildings are assignation houses; many waiters, bellboys and oth ers in hotels are procurers; many mani cure girls of the city, especially those in the hotels and barber shops, are prosti tutes, and are willing logo out with their customers for a price.” Men and women in all walks of life according to the report, seem to be im plicated in one way or anothe-. Various institutions, hospitals, also share in these evils. The portion of the report given to the public is bad enough and likely will cause many persons in Baltimore and through out the counties to sit up and take par ticular notice. Automobile Burned. An automobile belonging to Mr. Chas. Dixon, of Jefferson, this county, took fire while Mr. Dixon and his family were on their way home from Frederick last Tuesday night and was completely de stroyed. The car was a Stoddard-Dayton Six. Danger Signal. If the fire bell should ring would you run and stop it or go and help to put out the fire? It is much the same way with a cough. A cough is a danger signal as much as a fire bell. You should no more try to suppress it than to stop a fire bell when it is ringing, but should cure the disease that causes the coughing. This can nearly always be done by taking Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Many have used it with the most beneficial re sults. It is especially valuable for the persistent cough that so often follows a bad cold or an attack of the grip. Mrs. Thomas Beeching. Andrews, Ind., writes: “During the winter my husband takes cold easily and coughs and coughs. Cham berlain’s Cough Remedy is the best med icine for breaking up these attacks and you cannot get him to take any other.” Obtainable everywhere. Advert iaemimt | Two Prizes To T. H. S.

Femes of this place, was saved from drowning in the water in Hunting creek Tuesday afternoon by the timely passing of Mr. Frank Marne, who was on his way to Thurmont. Charles had been along the edge of the mountain looking for pine, Inured and other greens for Christmas decorations.

In a minute the boy was hauled from his perilous position.
