Why Not lower Fares Here?

Rockville has gone to the Legislature
with Il bill to compel the Washington
and Rockville Electric Railway Com
pany to reduce the fare between the
District of Columbia and Rockville to
Is cents. At preselft 20 cents is charged
The citizens of Rockville and the county
generally are much interested in the
matter, and every effort will be made to
have the measure enacted into law. 1t
is l6 miles from Rockville to Washing
ton. Ii 20 cents be the right figure for
Is miles, II cents would be big charge
for the II miles between Frostburg and
Cumbci land, and 90 cents for the II
miles between Frostburg and Western
port. Is there member of the Ale
gany delegation who has the spunk to
copy the Rockville bill and apply it to
the two distances named in this county
Or are all affected, like the RprieW
radiant of the Homecoming star, with an
overpowering sense of gratitude to the
Electric road company for deigning to
come here, condescending to accept our
highways as Il free gift, and consenting
to carry us around at a bonanza rate?

Wantthc Second Year.

A New York company over year ago
asked for rate on "i"o years advertis-
ing" the latter year conditioned upon
results of initial year.
The regular rate was given, the JOUR
NAL hardly expecting to hear from it
again.
But the order came.
The first year was completed, and the
other day the company wrote:
Our contract with you calls for - months
advertising and an additional y months at
the same rate if desired by us.
AS we are well pleased with the service
you have given us and with the results of
our advertising in your paper, we will take

Tendency Ofthc Times.

The tendency of medical science is toward
preventive measures. The best thought of
the world is being given to the subject 1t
is easier and better to prevent than to cure.
1t has been fully demonstrated that pneu-
monia, one of the most dangerous diseases
that medical men have to contend with, can
he prevented by the use of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always results
from cold or from an attack of influenza
(grip,) and it has been observed that this
remedy counteracts any tendency of these
diseases toward pneumonia. This has been
fully proven in many thousands of cases i'll
which this remedy has been used during the
great prevalence of colds and grip in recent
years. and can be relied upon with implicit
confidence. PnemOnIa often results from
slight cold when no danger is apprehcnded
until it is suddenly discovered that there is
fever and difficulty in breathing and pains in
the chest, then it Is announced that the
patient has pneumonia. BE on the safe side
and take Chamberlain Cough Remedy as
soon as the cold is contracted. 1t always

The Masquerade Ball.

All the arrangements have been com-
pleted by Prof w. j. Daley and the
members of his dancing class for their
masquerade carnival and ball to be
given next Tuesday evening in the
Gladstone Annex.
A long list of ladies and gentlemen
have obtained costumes for the occasion
and besides these very many young
people are making up their own
DISCUSSES.
Prof Daley is making effort to enter
tain those attending the masquerade in
a most pleasing manner, and for that
reason will introduce some new features
which have never been seen i'll a ball
room in this part of the country. These
features will add greatly to the amuse-
ment and merriment.
Very many ladies and gentlemen of
adjoining towns have reported their
intention to be present, and the mas
querade promises to be great social
success in every way.

Letter to W. r.. G. Hitchins,



Dear Sir-The way to reckon the cost of
paint is to put both costs together; the cost
of the paint and the cost of putting it on.
1t would save this country hundreds of
millions of dollars year it would save YOU
alone tf you happen to be a victim) several
dollars year.
See how it works. 1t costs as much to
put-On one paint as another don't it?
Yes, if you use the same number of
gallons.
Well, don't !?
No, you'll use twice as many gallons of
adulterated paint as of Devoe; and you We
got to pay twice as much for putting it on.
Mr.. y. Avery, Delhi, n. V, has two houses
alike and in same condition. Painted one
house with Devoe 6 gallons. Painted the
other house with paint that was half
