A Mistake Corrected.

It is mistake to combine in the same
remedy both stomach and liver medicines,
because the stomach is not always out OF
order when the liver is, or vica versa.
While it is true that these organs are so
closely related that when one is affected
the other is likely to be also, still there
are times when one is affected and the
other is not. 1t is serious error to
give liver medicine combined with a
stomach medicine when the stomach only
needs treatment, and it is not necessary
to treat the stomach when the liver only
is discrdered. Rydale's method is the
most sensible enc. He does not combine
the two, but makes tablet for the
stomach and tablet for the liver, which
can be combined if necessary. Guaran-
teed by DR.. James X. Waters.

LENGTH OF VESSELS.

Some idea of the increase OF the
ocean-going ships may be obtained
from the following:
In 1910 the length of the longest
ship was 200 feet; in 1856, 375 feet;
in 1881, 525 feet; in 1905, 675 feet;
in 1907, 1856 feet. The last length
cited is that of the "Lusitiana" and
"Mauretania," now building, and
already they are talking in nautical
circles of ships that will be 1000 feet
long.

York, Pa, Aug. 11.-During o Sc
we're storm on Friday in the lower
part of York county lightning struck
a large chestnut tree on the farm OF
George Anstine, near East Prospect,
splitting the trunk and then passing
into a spring at the base of the tree.
The old spring seemed neverfailing
and had qucnchcd thirst for more
than 100 years, but the lightning
seems to have DETECTED the course OF
the water, and the spring has disap-
pearcd as though it never existed.

KirkWOOd Hotel Burned.


The cry Of fire, the ringing of the bell
at the Protestant Episcopal church and
the discharge Of revolvers aroused Blue
Ridge Summit shortly before midnight
Sunday night with the alarm that the
Kirkwood Hotel at Highfeld was afire.
Nearly all the guests-25 or 30-had
retired when the flames burst through
the windows in the third story at the
southwest corner. William R. Fitz, T.

Gist of Chambersburg, who were seated
in the hotel yard, rushed into the hotel,
arousing the sleeping guests, who CROPPED
their way out through the smoke-choked
halls without having time to dress.
Miss Gist tainted and fell on the second
floor and had to be carried out by her
companions. There were no guests on
the third floor. Buckets were useless as
no water was at hand, and the entire
structure, IS by 1875 feet was destroyed.
Much of the contents of the building was
carried out.
A Western Maryland locomotive saved
several freight cars on an elevated coal
dump from being burned.

"We never repent of eating too little,
was one of the ten rules of life of Thomas
Jefferson, president of the United States,
and the rule applies to every one without
exception during this hot weather, be-
cause it is hard for food, even in small
quantities, to be digested when the blood
is at high temperature. At this season
we should eat sparingly and properly.
We should also help the stomach as much
as possible by the use of little Kodol
for Indigestion and Dyspepsia, which
will rest the stomach by digesting the
food itself, Sold by James K. Waters,

Those who have stomach trouble, no
matter how slight, should give every
possible help to the digestive organs, SO
that the food may be digested with the
least effort. This may be done by taking
something that contains natural digestive
properties-somet like Kodol for In
digestion and Dyspepsia. Kodol is a
preparation of vegetable acids and con-
tains the very same juices found in a
healthy stomach. 1t digests what you

EDITOR CLARION
DEAR SIR:-I noticed in recent issue
of the CLARION, an article asking if it is
true that the Catoctin Mines were run
ming on Sunday, and if the men who re-
fused to work then were compelled to
give up their houses. 1answer most en-
phatically, NO. will take occasion to
say, however, that we are running our
mines both day and night during the
week and like any other plant so operat-
ing, we find it necessary to do certain re-
pair work that can not possibly be done
during the week. might add that to
insure myself against trouble from the
men, commenced long ago to draw up
contracts with every man relating to
Sunday and other overtime work. There
were two or three who refused absolute
ly to do anything on Sunday, no matter
how urgent the work, and these men
have never been called on. With these
exceptions, had no trouble in making
such contracts. This cen hardly be call
ed an arbitrary matter
Now that the matter has come up,
take this occasion to announce that l was
directed to say that different methods
would hereafter be followed from those
in force under the old regime. That this
step was necessary logically follows when
one reviews the repeated failures of for
mer proprietors. was further directed
to enlist the aid of the entire community
in making this industry profitable to both
ourselves and the community. If the
people in Thurmont really want to see us

than by giving their moral support.
Bringing order out of chaos is not an
easy matter.
F. C. PERKINS,
Supt. Catoctin Mines.
rive are very glad to have Mr.. Per-
kins clear up the matter, and his answer
speaks for itself. We will add that our
whole community is deeply interested in
seeing "order brought out of chaos at
Catoctin and will, in any reasonable way
assist in giving support to that end.
Overconfdence in past arrangements and
ownerships of Catoctin have resulted so
disastrously that naturally the community
at large has grown somewhat skeptical,
and to remove this skepticism takes lit
tie time, but we are glad to say the pres
ent owner is getting results. Ed
