Musical Treat.


The Baer Musical Comedy Company
appeared at Town Hall Friday and Sat-
urday evenings Of last week. Little was
known of the merit of this company by
the people Of ThlrmCnt; the majority
thinking it one of the many travelling
about the country of uncertain ability,
hence the attendance was small.
The company consists of Messrs. Philip
Baer, John Baer, Mr.. and Mrs. Herd
Lee. Each of these gentlemen possess
highly trained and cultivated voices and
are not Of the ordinary class that visit
small towns.
The program Saturday evening consist
ed of solos, vocal and instrumental,
Duets and trios in the first part; the
second part consisting of minstrel com
edy songs and jokes Mr.. Lee being the
black face comedian.
Mrs Lees rendition Of several classic
numbers on the piano was elegant and
brought forth hearty applause from the
audience. Mr.. Philip Baer, tenor; Mr..
John Baer, bass; and Mr.. Lee, baritone;
each being par-eXcelence in his solo
numbers and in their ductt and chorus
work. Their singing was very much ap-
preciated by the audience, the applause
being such as is seldom heard in Town
Hall.
At the close of the entertainment Mr..
Philip Baer thanked the people for their
patronage and hospitality during their
two days in town, and promised to visit
Thurmont sometime during the month of
August.

The cesspool question in town like
Thurmont is serious one. In the city
or larger towns, where the well for drink
ing purposes has become entirely thing
of the past, no particularly grave prob
lens present themselves, but we fear for
the results as to health, etc, If portion
of our citizens are to be permitted to dig
cesspools in a haphazard way, causing
them to become a menace to thc commu-
nifty and a source of dangerous contami-
nation to nearby wells.
1t is not the policy of the CLARION to
stand in the way of progress or things
progressive; it is Oh the other hand al
ways ready to give strenuous help to any
movement for the Improvement OF local
conditions but it seems to us that the
present movement toward cesspools needs
some sort of regulation especially as to
their construction. The heavy rains of
the past week caused some of the cess
pools to overflow, thereby creating con-
dition which BODIES i'll for the public
health.
We have broached this question at
practically the beginning of the move
ment in our town, that by wise and SAN
tive legislation and regulation, mutual
plan may be agreed upon by which the
innovation may be help and not a hind
rance to the progress of the town.

1t is very important and in fact it is
absolutely necessary to health that we
give relief to the stomach promptly at
the first signs Of trouble which are
belching of gas, nausea, sour stomach,
headache, irritability and nervousness.
These are warnings that the stomach has
been mistreated; it is doing too much
work and it is demanding help from you.
Take something once in while; especial
ly after meals; something like Kodol for
Dyspepsia and Indigestion. 1t will en-
able your stomach to do its work proper
ly. Sold by James X. Waters,

If cough once gets into your system
it acts on every muscle and fibre of the
body and makes you ache all over. 1t
especially affects the intestines and makes
you constipated, so in order to get rid of
a cold thoroughly and without delay you
should not take anything that will tend
to constipate. Kennedy's Laxative Cough
Syrup acts upon the bowels and thereby
drives the cold out of the system. 1t con-
tains no opiates-it is pleasant to take
and is highly recommended for children.

On the first page of this issue you
will find an account of the kidnap-
ping of little baby by its father.
Various reports are current as to
why Mr.. Hancock should run off
with his baby but there seems to be
no reason for his crime. The boys
father is hunting for him but as we
go TO press his whereabouts is still
mystery. When he secured pos
session of the child, he did so by
appearing to be caressing it and
stepped out on the porch, still play
ing with the baby, and his brother,
Charlie Hancock, drove up in bug
gy and the two boys drove away in
run. The neighbors immediately
pursued but were unable to overtake
them. 1t is hoped that they will
soon be located and brought back.
We understand that if the baby is
returned by tomorrow that there will
be no prosecutions by the young
mother.
