To Improve Your Digestion.
"For years my digestion was so poor
that 1 could only eat the lightest foods.
1 tried everything I heard of to get re
lief, but not until about a year ago when
I saw Chamberlain’s Tablets advertised
and got a bottle of them did I find the
right treatment. Since taking them my
digestion is fine.’’—Mrs, Blanche Bow
ers, Indiana, Pa.
Advertise meet.
Your Opportunity.
Schools open next week. What will
we do about it? Do not think of the
school attendance law. It is sad that a
law is needed in an'enlightened community
to induce parents to send their children
to the free public schools.
And yet with the compulsory attend
ance law and all its working, many chil
dren of Thurmont and vicinity under the
age of 14 were out of school last year.
This with poor attendance and habitual
tardiness shows lack of parental interest
in the children. This should improve the
coming year because the need of an edu
cation has never been so insistent from
all quarters as it is today.
Those of us who have little of this
worlds good’s with which to endow our
children should use to the limit the ad
vantages which an education gives. The
public school is the great social evener
in a democracy. It levels up the social
depressions caused by lack of wealth.
This poor boy with a high school educa
tion is more than a match in life’s bat
tle for success for the rich man’s son
who was permitted to quit school in the
grades.
We have a habit of saying that any
farm boy may some day be president,
which is away of saying that he may be
anything he wants tb be. This is gen
erally qualified by, “it all depends upon
the boy” which statement is not nearly
so true as, “it all depends upon his
daddy.” How many successful careers
have been nipped in the bud by greedy
or over indulgent fathers and mothers.
True 26 of the 27 presidents of the United
States were country boys, as were five
sixths of the ministers, doctors and other
influential men of the country. But
please note that practically all of these
had the equivalent of a high school edu
cation and 56 per cent, of them were
college trained.
We frequently have pointed out some
eminently successful men who htve had
little schooling, but let us see how few
they are.
“Who’s Who in America,” is a Volume
published every few years containing the
names and brief sketches of the leading
men and women of *he country. A re
cent number of the “Who’s Who” con
tained 16000 names. There are some 10,-
000,000 uneducated persons in the United
States and of this 10,000,000 only 60 were
sufficiently successful in life to be men
tioned among the 16000. That is, only
one in 160,000 uneducated persons win
success. There were some 66,000,000
people with a common school education
and of these 1600 were mentioned among
the leaders of that year, which is one
in 40,000. That is, a good common school
education multiplies your child’s chance
of success by four. Of five million high
school graduates of the country nearly
3000 are mentioned in "Who’s Who,”
which is one person in 1600, and shows
that a high school education multiplies
your child’s chance of success by 100; or
a boy with a high school education has
26 times the chance of success in life
that the boy has who quits in the ele
mentary school. Going on, we find that
there are fewer than two million college
or university trained men and women in
the country, but of these, 12,000 are
mentioned among the eminent Who’s
Who, which is one in every 80, dr twenty
times as many in proportion as of the
high school educated.
Let us repeat.
Of the Educat ed, one person in 160,000
attains success.
Of the Educated, Elementary, onejper
son in 80,000 attains success.
Of the Educated, High School, one per
son in 1,600 attains success.
Of the Educated, College, one person in
85 attains success.
What chance of success are you going
to give to vour child?
Now, dear parent, the least that you
can do for the child in which you are or
ought to be so much interested in is to
see that, health permitting, he starts to
school promptly at 6 years of age or be
fore, and to see that he goes to school,
health, weather and other unavoidable
obstacles permitting, every day of every
week that school is open until he is 14
years of age. You do not need the school
register to tell you how far short you
have fallen in the past. It is burned on
your conscienence if you have one of the
right sort, and registers a new pang
every time you look at the child who
does not want to go to school because it
is years too old for the class or grade in
which it will have to enter because it has
attended school so poorly that it could
not possibly be promoted annually. If
you, the teacher and the child have done
I well, the age of 14 will find the child
ready to enter, or in the first year high
j school. If, however, the pupil enters
1 school at 7 or 8 years of age and stays
out washdays, housecleaning days, butch
; ering days, visiting days, gala days and
all days on which pa, ma or the child can
, find excuse for his staying out, the age
of 14 will catch him in the 6th, sth or
i even lower in the grades, and discouraged
the child quits school and is handicapped
in life’s race in away that all the wealth
you may bequeath to him will never com
pensate. X

Great Berry Season.
The season of 1919 will be remembered
as possibly the greatest Blackberry year
in history so far as applies to an area of
several miles around Thurmont. Reports
brought us show that Mrs. Lottie Baker
and three children picked and sold 2284
quarts and Mr. and Mrs. Harry Hewitt
and child picked and sold 1600 quarts of
blackberries. These were sold at 10
cents per quart. Mr. Hewitt also picked
and sold 100 quarts of huckleberries at
16 cents per quart.
Thousands of quarts of berries were
gathered by other persons, many of them
bringing them toD. S. Weybright’s store
in Thurmont. A large truck from the
Adamstown Cannery came here daily
and took the berries to that place for
j canning.
State Dairymen Meet.
Maryland Association Doing
$4,000,000 Business A Year.
After being organized only a year, the
Maryland State Dairyman’s Association
is doing a business of more than $4,000,-
000 a year, it was announced last Satur
day at the annual meeting of the associ
ation, and moreover, it has put milk pro
duction on a stable and sensible basis
fair, they assert, both to the producer
and the consumer.
The meeting of the association was
largely in the nature of a lovefeast.
There were about 600 members present
in the big hall of Odd Fellows’ Temple
when D. 6. Harry, president, called the
gathering to order and made a brief in
troductory address, in which he dealt
with some of the plans for an educational
campaign in the interest of greater con
sumption ot milk, and also fur protect
ing the dairymen against abuses, such as
the constant theft of milk cans. 1. W.
Heaps, secretary and treasurer of the
association, submitted the financial re
port, which showed that the association
had receipts last year of approximately
$6,000 and had a balance in hand of near
$1,600. It was voted to assess members
an additional one mill per gallon of milk
sold through the association for extra ex
penses should that be deemed necessary
by the directors.
Dr. A. F. Woods, president of the
State College of Agriculture, in an ad
dress declared that the people of Mary
land consumed only about onehalf of the
milk they needed in order best to pre
serve their health. In spite of the dis
cussion about high prices, he stated that
milk was proportionately much lower
than other foodstuffs, considering its food
values, and that the dairymen are not
making mure than a fair profit on their
production. Nobody, he said, expects
them to produce and sell milk at less than
cost and a fair margin of profit, and that
the dairymen are not going to do it.
The Federal Government, he said, is
arranging for a five-year survey of the
farms of Maryland in order to show how
conditions which are holding back the
farmer and reducing production may be
remedied. This survey will pay particu
lar attention to dairy farms with the
view of showing how expenses can be
cut down to the profit of the producer,
the retailer and the consumer There
are leaks in the dairy business which
caused an aggregate loss in Maryland of
$200,000 a year.
“Dr. McCollum, of Johns Hopkins Uni
versity, and other experts, ” said Dr.
Woods, “have told us repeatedly in the
last few months that the people of Balti
more are not consuming as much milk
as they should, and that the health of
the city is thus affected. These men are
looking out only for the health of the
people. They know the health-giving
properties of milk. They are eager for
the spreading of a propaganda that will
awaken people to the needs of drinking
more milk. They have asked you men
to produce as much milk as you possibly
can and to sell it at the lowest possible
price.
We are trying to do this, but we know
at the present time that the people are
not consuming half as much milk as they
should.
“We have not half the number of cows
we should have in this State. We must
get more. We must establish a bond of
union between our dealers and the con
sumers and ourselves and let everybody
see that we are playing the game on the
square.
“One thing the public must not forget.
The farmers are entitled to better hours, ;
better pay and better living conditions, I
the same as other men. The improve- ;
ment of such conditions will bring about
an increase in the cost of production—
an honest increase, the farmers are going
to try by efficient work, by putting forth
their best efforts for every minute of
their working day to cut down their ex
penses not only for their own benefit,
but for the benefit of those who are de- j
pendent upon them.
“If we did not have so many strikes |
in this country, so much wasted efficien
cy, we would hear less of living expenses.
1 told a railroad friend of mine the other
day that if there were not so many strikes
on the railroads there would not be so
many losses, and that the salaries for
which railroad men yearn would come to
them readily without agitation. All the
fanner wants is to be considered like the
rest of men. He deserves no more and
he wants no less ’’
Samuel Jordon, the highest paid coun
ty agricultural agent in the country, who
hails from Claredon county, Missouri,
and draws S6OOO a year, also made an
address in which he discussed some of
the problems of the milk producers and
plans fur keeping the business on a stable
basis, and Prof. J. A. Gamble, of the
department of animal husbandry of the
State College of Agriculture made an
address on the butter fat basis of selling
milk.
Boys Still Recording.
The soldier boys of this district are
still filling up Record Blanks giving data
concerning events during their term of
service in the army and navy. The time
has been extended for doing this work
and every soldier boy should avail himself
of this opportunity of adding his bit to
the history of Maryland.
Cure For Dysentery.
“While I was in Ashland, Kansas, a
gentleman overheard me speaking of
Chamberlain’s Colic aud Diarrhoea Rem
edy,” writes William Whitelaw, of Des
Moines, lowa. “He told me in detail of
what it has done for his family, but more
especially his daughter who was lying at
the point of death with a violent attack
of dysentery, and had been given up by
the family physician. Some of his neigh
bors advised him to give Chamberlain’s
Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy, which he
did, and fdlly believes that by doing so
saved the life of his child. He stated
that he had also used this remedy him
self with equally gratifying results.”
Adv rtleement.
Meade To Train 10,000.
War Department Announces
Army Will Be Recruited.
Another special expeditionary force of
10,000 men to replace troops now in Eu
rope will be recruited immediately and
trained at Camp Meade, the War Depart
ment has announced. The overseas re
placement depot, which, since the cessa
tion of hostilities, has trained approxi
mately 10,000 men for duty in France,
will handle the new army also, and offi
cials have begun preparations for the re
ception of the first detachments, which
probably come there within the next
week or so.
The order from Washington that the
replacement depot would again become
the training center of thousands of sol
diers came as a surprise to Major-Gener
al Hutchinson, commanding officer of
Meade. The organization had been re
duced to a little over 200 men, and a few
days ago the War Department announced
that no more of these men would be sent
to join the American Expeditionary
Forces. The new replacement units will
be dispatched to France in detachments
of 1,000 men, and it is thought that the
majority of the drafted men still on duty
overseas will be allowed to return home.
With the announcement that Meade
would be the training center of the re
placement troops came the order from
the War Department that all recruiting
stations in the country are to conduct a
special campaign for recruits to send to
the Maryland cantonment. Men who de
sire to go overseas can enlist from one to
three years; heretofore those applying
for service outside the United States had
to enlist for a three year period.
Brig.-Gen. Thomas B. Dugan, a Balti
morean, recently returned from France,
will command the overseas depot, and
several regular army olfi ers, now sta
tioned at various cantonments, will be
sent to Meade to assist in the rapid train
ing of the men. The depot will be moved
from its present location to the A-A
section of the cantonment.
A Billions Attack.
When you have a billions attack your
liver fails to perform its functions. You
become constipated. The food you eat
ferments in your stomach instead of di
gesting. This inflames the stomach and
causes nausea, vomiting and a terrible
headache. Take three of Chamberlain’s
Tablets. They will tone up your liver,
clean out your stomach and you will soon
be as welf as ever. They only cost a
quarter.
