Cholera Morbus.This is a very painful and dangerous

disease. In almost every neighborhoodsomeone has died from it bo fore medi-

cine could be obtained or a doctor could

be summoned. The right way is to have

a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic and Dia-

rrhoea Remedy ir. the house so as to be

prepared for it. Mrs. Charles Enyeart,

Huntington, Ind', writes; “During the

summer of 1911 two of my children weretaken sick with cholera morbus. I used

Chamberlain’s Colic and Diarrhea Rem-edy and it gave them immediate relief.”

FORD'S GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

Week June 10th, Sergeant Empey,

(himself), and Rose Stahl in the new

war comedy,“PACK UP YOUR TROUBLES”

by Geo. C. Hazelton.The week of June 10th, will be event-

ful in the appearance of the soldier-hero,

Sergeant Empey, of "Over the Top”

tame, and the popular actress, RoseStahl, in a new comedy entitled "PackUp Your Troubles”, a delightfully hu-

morous play of camp life, by George C.

Hazelton, author of “Mistress Nell.”

The famous stars will have the associ-

ation of a splendid company. The playwill prove especially attractive to womensince it shows them how their sons,

brothers and sweethearts are made manly

and healthy under the eye of Uncle Samand effectually dispels any notion thepublic may have that camp life is detri-mental to the moral and physical welfare

of the boys in khaki. Sergeant Empey

has the role of a youthful Irish-Ameicanrecruit, eager to serve the U. S. Miss

Stahl appears as his youthful and intense-ly patriotic mother, each afforded ample

opportunity to display the senses of hu-

mor which have done so much to make

them famous.Matinees Wednesday and Saturday.

Alumni Reunion.Old Friendship Ties Renewed

At Annual Meeting In

Town Hall.The Alumni(ae) Association of the

Thurmont High School met in Town HallMonday evening, June 3. The President

of the Association, Mr. P. A. Hauver,

1 made a few remarks concerning the oc-casion.

The Tablet, which the Association in-

tends placing in the High School Building,

was at this time presented to Prof. H.

1 D. Beachley.The tablet is in polished brass plate

with enameled letters and mounted on

a heavy wood base and contains the

names of those persons instrumental in

the education of our men and women.The following inscription is on the tab-

let:IN MEMORY OF

Frederick WhiteJames Creager

Ephraim L. BoblitzJohn JonesJohn LandersWm. M. MartinJohn R. Rouzer

THURMONT HIGH SCHOOL

ALUMNI ASSOCIATIONMr. James Creager was one of the first

trustees; Mr. John Jones also served asa trustee for many years; Messrs Fred-

erick White and John Landers and Eph-rahim Boblitz, teachers in the public

schools; and Mr. Wm. M. Martin, the

first teacher in the High School in Thur-mont. Col, John R. Rouzer was a trus-tee for many years and was an enthus-iastic supporter of the move to securethe present new High School Building.

The Association decided to secure a

service flag and have it placed in the

school building. The flag will contain

stars for all boys in the service who wereever members of the High School. It isinteresting to note that out of the Asso-ciation alone there are sixteen young

men and one young woman who are giv-

ing their services to Uncle Sam.

The president heartily welcomed thegraduating class and expressed the hope

that they would benefit the Associationand that the Asssociation would be a

a benefit to them He also gave themsome good sound advice as to the essen-

tials of a successful life. His addresswas responded to by the president of theclass, Ross L. Shindledecker, who as-

sured the Association that they would beheard from and that before very long.

Several musical selections, both vocaland instrumental, were rendered. Toasts

were given by Misses Cassandra Heasonand Blanche Rice and Mr. L. S. Birely.

The following officers were then elected

for the ensuing year: President, Roy

Creeger; vice-president, Miss Linna Me- jGuigan; secretary, Mrs. Russell Unger; jassistant secretary, Blanche Eyler; treas-

urer, Helen Creager.

A Pleasing Program.Tuesday evening of this week the grad-

uating class of the Thurmont High School

held Class Night exercises in Town Hall. ,The stage wks decorated with ferns and

laurel while red, white and blue buntinghung profusely through the auditorium.

Mr. Ross Shindledecker, president ofthe class, was master of ceremonies. !After the reading of class history, poem,and prophecy, and the presentation of

gifts, a short play entitled “Somewhere

in France” was given by members of the

class. This is a very touching melodra-

ma in which is depicted scenes as theyare and have been in France for some !time. The entire program was well re-ceived by the audience that filled theHall to the doors and then some.

New Mail Facilities.On Tuesday of this week a large auto-

mobile truck carrying Parcels Post mail

came unannounced to the Thurmontpostoffice in charge of two gentlemen

from the Postoffice Department at Wash-ington.

This truck will run every week day be-

Mt. Airy, Md., and Gettysburg, Pa., andvisit every postoffice delivering and col-lecting parcels post packages. Morethan that it opens up to farmers alongthe route new facilities to send parcelpackages to the city. Postmaster Ger- !nand informs us that any person along 1the road having a package to send can

stop the truck. The package will beweighed and stamps sold and the pack-age taken along. No packages will bedelivered except at postoffices.

This service will likely prove of spe-cial benefit between Thurmont and ;Frederick because of the rail facilitiesto and from these places.

The truck arrives in Thurmont about

11.00 a. m., and returning from Gettys-

burg arrives here about 3.00 p. m. Mail

collected for Baltimore, Washington and

other cities is taken to Mt. Airy whereit is distributed to other trucks and senton its journey.

More Heavy Rain.Afer several days of very warm weath-

er, a thunder storm passed to the south

of Thurmont Sunday evening and brought

relief. The fall of rain was very heavy

in sections of the county, but it was verylight here. The lightning was very se-vere about Braddock Heights and causedsome trouble to telephone and trolleywires.

Sour Stomach.This is a mild form of indigestion. It

is usually brought on by eating too much

or too rapidly, or of food not suited to1 your digestive organs If you will eat

slowly, masticaie your food thoroughly,! eat but little meat and none at all for¦ supper, you will more than likely avoid

the sour stomach without taking anymedicine whatevr. When you have sourstomaeh take one of Chamberlain’s Tab-lets to aid digestion.Adv

Dedication Services.Mt. Tabor Church At Rocky

Ridge Now Finely Equipped

And Free Of Debt.Last Sunday was a red letter day in

Mt. Tabor Union church, Rocky Ridge.

The occasion was the dedication of eight

Memorial Windows, an Altar Painting,

and a Delco Lighting plant.The regular dedicatory services were

held at 10 a. m., Rev. W. 0. Ibach, theLutheran pastor, preaching the sermon,and Rey. Dr. P. E. Heimer, Reformed 'pastor, having charge of the services and

finances. The Reformed and Lutheranchoirs of Creagerstown had charge of

and furnished inspiring music amongwhich was a finely rendered ladies’ quar-

tette.At this service the balance of (he in-

debtedness, viz , about S4OO, was raised

and went more than fiftydollars over the jtop—all in a very short time as the peo-ple responded quickly to Rev. Heimer’s |appeal.

After the raising and pledging of mon- jey the dedication followed, Rev. Ibach 1formally consecrating the lighting plantand Rev. Dr. Heimer the windows andaltar painting.

The following is a list of windows anddonors:

1. Subject: “The Comforter’’, inmemory of Geo. W. Barnck and wife,by the children.

2. Subject; “The Good Shepherd’’, inmemory of Abraham E. Long and wife,by the children.

3. Subject: "Christ Knocking at theDoor”, in memory of Elias Valentineand wife, by the children.

4. Subject; “Flightinto Egypt” pre-sented by the Sunday School.

5. Subject: “Gethsemane”, presentedby the two congregations.

6. Subject: “The Ascension”, mem-

ory of Peter Hankey and wife, by IsaacHankey. j

7. Subject: “Ruth”, presented by the 'Willing Workers of Mt. Tabor Lutheranchurch

8. Subject; “Christ by the Seaside”,presented by Charles Krise in memoryof George R. Krise and wife.

9. Altar Painting, “Christ the Con-soler”, presented by Harvey Valentineand family.

The windows and altar painting aredesigned and executed by Raby-Hinton& Co., Carlisle, Pa., and are very artis- jtic.

The entire coat of improvements above ]enumerated inclusive of repairs and paint- 1ing of fence, etc., is about $1350, and all 'paid for.

The evening service was somewhat in-terfered with by a heavy hower of rainabout church time, thought a fair sizedaudience gathered to finish the servicesof an inspiring day.

Rev. Ibach had charge of the evening

services and Rev. Dr. Heimer preachedthe sermon which was specially directedto the young. A boys’ choir furnishedthe music in addition to several violinsolos by Mr. Guy Holler accompanied by

Miss Feme Snook, and a vocal duet by

Miss Feme Snook and Rev. Heimer.Mt. Tabor Union church is now one of

the finest and most complete country

churches in this section of Maryland. Inaddition to the above improvements, two

years ago a new pipe organ was installedand a few years before that a new fur-nace, new pews and pulpit furniture andcarpet and frescoing.

The church is entirely free of debt; ientire good will and harmony prevail

among the people and between pastors

and people, all of which is a source of

pleasure to preach to and labor with so !kind and responsive a people. May itcontinue thus.

Moved To Camp Green.Mr. Kleason A. Stull, a formeremploye

of the Clarion Office, who enlisted lastDecember, and was sent to Waco Camp,

Texas, has been moved to Camp Green,Charlotte, N. C. In a letter to his bro-ther Luther, he describes the journey

briefly.

“At Memphis, Tenn.,” he says, “weall got off the train and were given a

chance to take a bath, which we did, atthe Y. M. C. A. Such a time. Imagine ,

a bunch of about 600 under the showers !and in the pool almost at the same time. ;

i The men of the Y furnished bowels. Thebuilding is six stories high, and it is said

that they can bathe almost a million men

in one day. As we marched from thestation to the Y the people along the jroute turned out in full and gave us a 1great welcome and some even threw j

i money to the boys, one fellow getting a

$5 gold piece.“AtBirmingham the Red Cross girls

gave away postcards. We stopped some

time in Atlanta and took a short hike intown.”

Convalescing.Mrs. George Fogle, formerly of this

place but for several years a resident ofHagerstown, has been quite ill the past

several weeks. Last report is that she
