Coming Tennis Matches.

The Tennis season in Thurmont has
been greeted with general lack of en-
thusiasm due largely to the fact that many
of the matches scheduled had to be called
off and others postponed account Of the
unfavorable weather conditions.
However, with favorable weather dur
ing the month of August, the Thurmont
Association hopes to schedule several
matches and open tournament that will
be greatly appreciated by not only the
players of the town but other devotees
of the game as we'll.
Probably the match with the Monterey
Country Club scheduled for the 26th, will
be played on Saturday afternoon, Aug.
3rd, on the Glen Hurst Court at 3 O'Clock
and this perhaps will be one the best
matches of the season.
On Tuesday, August 9Th, the return
match with the Westminster Country
Club will be played at Westminster and it
is expected that quite large party of
Thurmonters will accompany the players
to Westminster as this trip promises to
be most enjoyable one. All who wish
to be included in this party should notify
Mr.. Park w. T. 10y in order to secure
the advantage of the reduced rate Sc.

CHRONICLE IS SKEPTICAL.

Our neighbor is skeptical on the
subject of Thurmont's population be-
ing 100, as indicated on THE CLAIR
IONS business envelopes, and begs us
explain. We made a feeble effort in
that direction, and still our statement
of 100 population is taken cam gra-
no sails by our brother. He init
mates that we can't, on the show
down., produce evidence of 100,
yea, he even goes farther by making
the statement that we have little
over half the population of Emmits-
burg (thus agreeing with us), and
laying claim to 2074, and giving en-
cyclopoedia Americana" as his au-
thority. We suspect he looked at
Emmitsburg, Iowa, instead OF En-
mitsburg, Md. His audacity is even
more surprising when he asks for our
recipe. Now, when it comes to that,
we say stop! We can't and won't
publicly give away valuable informa-
ton of that kind. If you will come
down, brother, We'll whisper it to
you, but we'll be "giggered" if we'll
publish it. What we said first we
say last, and what we say last we will
stick to. We have more than HOO
population, and if the home town OF
our esteemed brother stands in need
of a boost" we'll help him, for We
are always glad to help all the villages
in the north end.

HOW A MAN CAN BE HIS OWN
GRANDFATHER.

1t doesn't at first glance look quite
reasonable that a man can be his own
grandfather, and yet some chap with
an eye for the curious has figured it
up in this way: II married widow
who had grown-up daughter. My
father visited our house very often
and fell in love with my daughter
and married her. So my father be-
came my son-in-law and my STEP
daughter my mother because she mar
ried my father.
Some time afterward my wife had
a son. He is my fathers brother-in-
law and my uncle, for he is the broth
er of my stepmother. My fathers
wife, namely my step mother, had a
son. He is my brother and at the
same time my grandchild, for he is
the son of my daughter. My wife is
my grandmother, because she is my
mothers mother. / am my wife's
husband and grandchild at the same
time, and, as the husband of a per-
sons grandmother is grandfather, |
am my own grandfather

The Kiss,

A kiss is peculiar proposition-of no
use to one, yet absolutely bliss to two.
The small boy gets it for nothing, the
young man has to steal it and the old
man has to buy it. The baby's right, the
lovers privilege, the hypocrite's mask.
To a young girl faith; to married wom-
an, hope; and to an old maid charity.
The bliss of the kiss however, is frequent
ly lessened, or lost entirely on account of
offensive breath, of one or both of the
participants caused by indigestion or dys-
pepsia. There is no occasion for this con-
dition though for the reason that Rydale's
Stomach Tablets win soon correct the
stomach trouble and do away with the
bad breath. They 1.-THE Stomach Tablets
mot the kiss] are guaranteed by Dr..
James K. Waters. Directions: Take two
boxes Rydale's Stomach Tablets and fol-
low up with the kiss as often as conven-
lent.

1.-THE OLD WORLD AND ITS WAYS"

Col. William Jennings Bryan an
nornccs new book of travel entitled
THE Old World and it's Ways, "
which recounts his recent tour around
the world and his journeys through
Europe. 1t is profuscly and elegantly
illustrated with 24O artistic engrav-
ings representing men and things seen
in the various countries of the earth
during that noted journey. The en-.
cravings arc made from photographs
taken by him or his party specially
for this publication. 1t is the mon
umental literary work Of his life, and
is published under his special super
vision. He has, by special contract
with his publishers, made the retail
price low down with view to putting
it within the easy reach Of every read
or and book buyer.
The book gives his experiences
what he saw and did-whom he met
and his impressions and conclusions.
He made a profound study of men
and things as he saw them in this
noted journey around the world. He
gives governmental, educational, re-
ligious and other conditions, from the
standpoint of student and one pro-
foundly interested in all the people
of the earth.
While Col. Bryan travelled as a pri-
vate citizen he went with the prestige
OF having made two memorable con-
tests for the Presidency of the United
States, and he was everywhere recog-
nizcd and entertained as great rep
resentative American, having lead
ing part in the direction of American
affairs. He was given opportunity
for observations never before accord
ed to any one travelling in private
capacity.
If one wants to see the world, and
the people who arc at the head of af-
fairs in all countries, as well as the
masses, he has in this book an oppor-
tunity of seeing them through the
eyes of Col. William Jennings Bryan.
1t is sold by subscription, and the
Thompson Publishing Company of St.
Louis, Mo-, are the fortunate pub
fishers. They offer an especially in
viting opportunity to solicitors in an

A Mistake Corrected.

It is a 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 a 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 disordered. Rydale's method is the
most sensible one. 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.

DELIVERY THAT DON'T DELIVER.

The new inspector, route agent,
rcadjuster, general dissatisficr, that
laid off the county in new rural routes
ought to make another adjustment
and then resign from the SER
vice. That conditions now are worse
than when we had the old star route
system can't be denied, for then,
those not receiving mail could 60 to
the postofficc and get mail. Now,
the inspector cuts off ad lib. any not
favorably located and they can get
their mail the best way they can and
where they CANAL postal stations
being discontinued.
Get busy with your Congressman
and make him forcibly remind the
Postoffice Department that great
injustice has been done our people all
over the county. The system that
was laid out was giving satisfaction
and why not keep it? We note what
the Valley Register says, and we say
keep at the department. Let the
newspapers generally throughout the
county and state make it warm"
for somebody and perchance some
thing will be done. The Register says:
"In it "a letter from the Postoffice De-
partment to the Register) we fail to find
any "good" reason for taking from the
people what entirely suited them, and
substituting therefor service that can
not fail to seriously inconvenience them.
The only consolation we can find in the
letter is in the last paragraph, which
reads as follows:
"'Should it be found, after changes be-
come operative, that mail is delayed, as
anticipated by Mr.. Rhoderick, or that
changes can be ordered materially bene-
fitting the service, such matters will be
given careful consideration
'This is all right so far as it goes. If,
when the change is put into effect, all of
1.-THE Register" readers receive their pa
pers on Friday, as they now do, there
will be no "kick" coming from us, but
we don't intend to submit to green pos
tai inspector coming into our community
and disarranging the mail service until it
seriously delays our business. This is
not the intention of the postal service.
The convenience of the people must first
be taken into consideration and then the
army Of postal inspectors, who draw big
salaries, can be looked after"
