Parcel Post Mail.

The Parcel Post law which went into
effect January LIST, is becoming more pop
ular every day, and besides being a great
convenience to people throughout the
country is adding revenue to the postof-
flee department. Postmaster Rouzer of
this place states that the number of pack
ages received for mailing has increased
in number and size, and that greater
number are being received through the
mails now than prior to January LIST.
At the Frederick city postoffice ITO
packages were received through the mail
Sunday and early Monday morning. 1t
was necessary to use wagon to deliver
these packages.
Many people are not familiar with the
rules at this time, but the following must
be observed: All fourth-c class matter, or
in other words, all matter which is to 60
by parcel post, must have the distinctive
parcel post stamps thereon. Another re-
quirement is that the name and address
of the sender of package must be plain
ly written on the package. Because of
failure to comply with these requirements
thousands of packages were held by the
Baltimore city postmaster last week.

Piano Contest Closed.

On July 1st last Messrs. R. A. Tyson
& Co., entered into the piano contest
scheme and at once very pretty piano
was placed on exhibition in his store
room. The plan was made known among
the young people of this community and
for miles around. About fifty replies
were received, each signifying willing
ness to enter the contest. Week after
week, however, the contestants dropped
out until finally but four remained. These
four worked hard to secure the prize
piano.
The contest closed last Tuesday night,
and when the votes were counted the re-
suit was found to be as follows:
Miss Grace Webb, .............. a, 406, OTIS
Miss Bertha Eckenrode, .......3, 28S. $50
Miss Mary Eigenbrode, ........2, 755, 757
Miss Agnes Harbaugh, ....... i, 7Sl, $50
The Clarion Publishing Co. gave votes
for new subscriptions secured by these
contestants, the same applying to the
piano, and we thank each one for the
work done for US.

Heavy Rain and Wind,

On Friday of last week, this locality,
along with the entire Atlantic coast was
visited by a severe rain and wind storm.
So far as we know no damage was done
around Thurmont.
Three distinct storms of equal violence
were reported by the weather bureau
one on the Atlantic coast, another in the
South and Middle West and another on
the Pacific coast.
On the Atlantic coast the storm broke
all previous records, varying in intensity
from 40 to 80 miles per hour. Much
damage was done small vessels in the
vicinity of Norfolk, Va. The roof was
blown off the Baltimore county Jail at
Towson, and considerable damage done
in Baltimore city. At Philadelphia 81
persons were injured, II of them by the
crashing of four-story building upon q
three-story structure. At New York
city the wind velocity was 80 miles ar
hour.

Will Save Cement Dust.

In all probability solution to the pro-
blem of saving the large amount of dust
which escapes from cement mills has
been solved. In last weeks issue of the
Union Bridge Pilot the following article
was printed. If the apparatus mention
ed proves successful at the Riverside
Mills, Union Bridge should not hesitate
to demand the same appliances installed
on the mills of the Tidewater Company
at that place. The Pilot says:
(The following is a clipping SEM one
of our citizens by Cement company in
response to an inquiry relative to dust
collecting devices for Cement plants).
1.-THE Riverside Portland Cement Com
pany, after three years of experiment.
ing, is building the first dust precipita-
tion apparatus ever attempted in &C.
ment manufacturing plant in the world.
can immense plant is being erected
above the great burning kilns, from
which issues the clinker product in the
mill and from which above the mill has
always poured the cloud of white dust,
causing so much worry on the part Of
the citrus growers in the neighborhood
of cement plants. This dust now will
pass into the new dust precipitation ap-
paratus and will be grabbed out of the
vapor and smoke and prevented from
issuing from the mill, 95 per cent of it
being saved for commercial use.
1.-The experiments leading up to this
great improvement have been under
way for several years. For several
months one big unit has been in opera
ton with the greatest success. 1t con-
sists of an immense, enclosed and insu-
lated box, containing series of wires
and immense suspended plates, through
which passes a direct current of 10000
volts of electricity, magnetizing the
plates which attract all of the dust as it
enters the enclosure directly from the
kiln beneath. The plates are joined by
cross bars, at the end of which vibrat-
ing air hammer is effectively used. caus-
ing the dust gathered along the plates
to fall away in great cakes.
1.-THE plant will have its kilns closed
down for the first time since it began
running while this transformation is be-
ing effected. When the improvement is
completed the fiat has gone forth that
the great plant must henceforth work
constantly. There will be no more dust.

His Stomach Troubles Over.

Mr.. Dyspeptic, would you not like to
feel that your stomach troubles were
over, that you could eat any kind of food
you desired without injury? That may

but permit US to assure you that it is not
altogether impossible. If others can be
cured permanently. and thousands have
been, why not you? John R. Barker, of
