Is very careful about her churn. She
scalds 1t thoroughly after using, and gives
it a sun bath To sweeten it. She knows
that if her churn is sour it will faint the
butter that is made in it. The stomach is
o churn. In the stomach and digestive
and nutritive tracts are performed pro-
cesses which are almost exactly like the
churning Of butter. Is 1t not apparent
then that II this stomach-churn is foul it
makes foul all which is put into 1t?
The evil of foul stomach is not alone
the bad taste in the mouth and the foul
breath caused by 1t, but the corruption of
the pure current of blood and the dissem-
nation of disease throughout the body.

A DECIDED SET BACK.

According to a communication from
F. G. Perkins, the electric light pro-
jcct for Thurmont has received Sc
rious set back, if not its death blow.
1t is a recognized right that what
one possesses they have right to ask
and demand for it what they want,
or more properly speaking, what they
think it is worth.
In the matter of right of way to
convey water to Il turbine wheel the
asking of the eXhorbitant figures re-
ported to us hardly measures up to
that standard required for the welfare
and advancement of the town. Here
we have Il man or set OF men who
want to erect lighting plant for the
town. They propose to do it them
selves, and about the only thing eX-
pected of the citizens of the town is
to encourage it and aid it in any way
possible.
1t is the same old spirit of getting
the last dollar out of a stranger who
comes into the community on a VEN
turc to make a dollar or two, and
who takes chances on losing many.
Itisa disappointment indeed to know
that the two gentlemen have asked
these high figures. We hope they
may be made to see the error of their
demand. One is a citizen of the
town with much property in and at
the town, and the development of the
town is certainly beneficial to him.
The other is not a resident of the
town, and consequently not interest
ed in its advancement. He demands
about two or three times as much for
the water right as his land cost him,
still it is his and don't have to be
liberal if he don't want to.
Thurmont wants better lights, and
electric lights are far superior to any
other for many reasons, and we do
hope the matter will yet be a 60.
