mary and professional education at the
high schools of his native town and at

settled in Westminster, and during the
intervening years he has led busy life
in responding to the demands for his
services from farmers and horse own
ers in Carroll and Baltimore counties.
DR.. Hitchcock contemplates erecting dur
ing the coming spring a brick building,
35x4o, which will be equipped with all
the latest and best converiences and ap-
pliances for hospital purposes. Accom-
modations for twelve. horses are includ-
ed in the specifications. The completion
of this hospital will be an important
progressive move, insuring to horse and
live stock owners the advantages of min
ute personal attention, and controlling
the conditions favorable to speedy and
permanent cure. whether the cases be
those of medicine or surgery. This an
nouncement will be we'll received; for
the equipment thus possessed will inaug-
urate advantages adopted successfully by
the leading veterinarians of the country,
who have discovered by experience that
speedy and successful results are best
secured by conveniences and conditions
which insure their immediate personal
care and attention in the various phases
of treatment and diagnosis.

The enterprise that promotes and
builds up such an establishment as IS
conducted by John D. Bowers, whose at
tractive storequarters are located at No.
AZ East Main street, and the popular ap-
probation that gives it preference and
support speak volumes for the COM
munity in which such an institution
flourishes, for its success establishes evil
dences of excellent judgment in the de-
mand for high grade foods which con-
tain the healthgiving and appetizing
qualities, purity, freshness and flavor. At

Dentists.

Dentists
The great advances made in scientific
and mechanical dentistry is recent years
and the prevailing appreciation for the
benefits achieved for humanity by its
leading eXponents-an appreciation di-
rectly traceable to the refining educa-
tional influences of the times, have ere
ated constantly increasing demand for
the services of the dental practitioner-a
service which is universally regarded as
indispensable to the maintenance of
health and physical beauty. To the in
habitants of Westminster and Carroll

the inducements of pronounced knowl-
edge and ability secured by thorough
scientific training, which has in turn
been supplemented by years of success
full experience in the operating room and
in the laboratory At their offices in
Westminster and New Windsor, Drs.
Meyers extract teeth painlessly, do crown
and bridge work, treat and fill teeth, ex-
ercising every effort to preserve natural
teeth, make and fit artificial teeth and
respond to every demand promptly with
a service whose features comprise the
most approved methods of modern dem
tistry. AS result of their superior adj
vantages in skill and knowledge a rep
resentative and constantly increasing
practice has been built up, which includes
many of the leading families of Carroll
county The Doctors Meyers are both
natives of Carroll county and received
their elementary and liberal education
among their home institutions and their
professional training in the dental de-
partment of the University of Mary

at hand there is no excuse for going
away from home to secure ones needs

the splendid career of the Babylon & Lip
py Company. The officers of this concern
are f. Thomas Babylon, president;
Charles f. Lippy, vice-president and
manager; D. Snider Babylon, secretary
and treasurer. All these gentlemen are
well known citizens and business men
OF the community and are indeed to be
congratulated for their successful efforts
IN building up business and establish
ing trade conditions that are not ex-

departments, the Babylon & Lippy Com
