Take Plenty of Time to Eat.

There is saying that rapid eating
is slow suicide" If you have formed
the habit of eating rapidly you are most
likely suffering from indigestion or con-
stipation, which will result eventually in
serious illness unless corrected. Digest
ion begins in the mouth. Food should be
thoroughly masticated and insalivated.
Then when you have a fullness of the
stomach or feel dull and stupid after eat
ing, take one of Chamberlain's Tablets.
Many severe cases of stomach trouble
and constipation have been cured by the
use of these tablets. They are easy to
take and most agreeable in effect. For
sale by all dealers. Adv.

Check No Good.
Charged With Obtaining Horse
BY False Pretense.

Constable Chester M. Hauver, of Fred
erick, came to Thurmont last Saturday
morning and arrested Penrose Schildt, a
dealer in horses and cattle, who resides
in this place.
AS related to us, Schildt purchased a
horse from Thad. Lewis of near Garfield,
and gave Lewis a check in payment.
Lewis accepted the check and took it to
the Smithsburg bank and deposited it
Upon inquiry by the cashier of the bank
it was found that no funds were in bank
to meet the check, the check being on
the Woodsboro Savings Bank. Mr.. Lewis
was notified of the fact and set out to
secure his horse. After experiencing
some difficulty in locating the horse, he
learned that Schildt had sold the horse
to Mr.. John Bentzell, who resides about
a mile east of Graceham. After making
sure that Mr.. Bentzell had the horse,
Lewis, through advice of an attorney,
replevied the horse, went for the animal
Saturday evening and took it home with
him. Mr.. Bentzell was then minus horse
and $3.50 he had paid Schildt.
After Hauver had arrested Schildt he
gave him an opportunity to secure money
to pay for the horse, but failed. He was
then taken to Jail.
Schildt was given hearing before
Justice Fabian Posey at Frederick on
Tuesday and held for false pretense I'M
der $500 bail for the action of the grand
jury.

Outlaw Camp Raided.
Thieves Caught in Mountain
West of ThurmOnt Near
Blue RlaZes.
Much Booty Recovered.

We read of outlaws in the far wilt
west, see them commit daring acts ant
a little later captured by band of COW
boys in moving picture theatres, and are
well satisfied that these outlaws are fal
from US.
But, to the surprise of many, gang
of this character has been in our midst
for some time; walking around town,
making purchases at our stores, talking
freely to citizens, and making trips
through the country at night relieving
people of feed, poultry and other articles.
These men, two of them, were known
to be camping in the mountains, and one
of them was known as desperate char
acter to few persons in town. But
where was the camp? No one here cared
to go in search of it.
These men not only came to Thurmont
but went about the country from Fox
vile to Deerfield, and the people of the
mountain set out to find the camp. Sum
day their abode was located in thickly
wooded place in the mountain about half
mile to the right of Blue Blazes, and
about mile from the old Harmon saw
mill. 1t is said that 80 dense was the
growth of small trees that it was almost
impossible to see the camp until within
few feet of it.
One of these men has been wanted for
some time by the Pennsylvania State
authorities, he having escaped from Jail
at Gettysburg where he was serving time
for stealing chickens and other property.
After the camp had been located the
police headquarters at Waynesboro was
notified. This department got busy to
make raid on the camp. Constable c.
w. Lidie, of Thurmont, was notified and
asked to meet the Pennsylvania officers
at a certain place in the mountains at
o clock Monday night He did this and
the officers in charge of guide made
the trip afoot through the mountain to
the camp. Both men were there, but
the fine big bay horse they had i'll their
possession put them wise that some one
was coming by neighing. The officers
were, however, very close and before the
outlaws could secure their guns the
officers had them covered. One gave up,
but the other took his chances and ran
and succeeded in getting away, although
many shots were fired at him. This man
is known by the name of Lee and is want
ed badly by the Pennsylvania officers.
The fellow captured gave his name as
Sparon Gaugher. 1t is claimed he has
killed number of men, and it is thought
he and his companion are the ones who
assaulted man at the blue Goose
saloon near Pen-Mar a short time ago.
At the camp was found a horse and
buggy, plenty of feed, new clothing,
shoes, blankets and plenty of edibles. 1t
is claimed the horse was stolen in Penn
sylvania Everything that could be haul
ed was loaded on the buggy and with the
prisoner taken to Waynesboro. The
officers hope to capture Lee in short
time.
The officers from Waynesboro were
Dennis, Stilwell, Eiler and Daywalt; and
Idle from Thurmont.

Passenger Traffic Heavy Over lIagers
town and Frederick Railway.

Passenger Traffic Heavy Over Hagers-
town and Frederick Railway.
Sunday the Hagerstown and Frederick
Railway Co. had one of the largest days
in its history in passenger business about
Frederick, barring times when some
special event called for much passenger
riding. There was nothing happening
about the city which called for riding and
the weather was decidedly cool, which
also did much to prevent the use of the
cars The railroad officials take it that
the people of the city are beginning to
use the cars more than formerly and also
that the system of having cars every half
hour in all parts of the city, and the in
stallation of a systemic f transfers pleases.
Notices of an increase in wages were
posted in the offices of the company on
Saturday night, and under the plan, en-
ployees on the Hagerstown and Freder-
lex ends of the road receive the same
compensation. The wage scale is made
upon the length of service and men who
have been in service two years more will
receive Is cents per hour. The scale is
made up as follows: first six months l5c;
second six months Ice; second year TIC;
after the second year 18c.
The increased wage scale means an in
crease of from three to four cents per
hour for many of the employees of the
Frederick end. The scale of wages ran
from 12c for beginners to 15c for men
who had been with the company many
years. AS the company endeavors to
have the men make about IL hours each
day, it means that the wages of the men
will be from $1.8 to So. l6 per day. The
increase was made voluntarily by the
company and amounts to about II per
cent increase and will cost the company
Sc, 240 in year. Over 100 employees Sc
cure the increase.

POWDER ON THE FACE
PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN
IN ITS APPLICATION.
No Real Reason Why II Should Be
HarmfuI-Thorough Cleansing
Of the Pores Of the Skin
Absolutely necessary.

Occasionally I receive an inquiry
asking my opinion in regard to the use
OF face powder. Whether powder can
be used on the complexion with per-
feet safety or II is likely to prove in
furious. My answer has always been
that powder can be used without the
least fear of any i'll results provided
the powder itself is harmless and is
used over a foundation of pure cream,
and also provided the face is thorough.
ly cleansed each day to prevent the
pores of the skin from becoming
clogged. Such cleansing is necessary
whether powder is used or not, because
the dust and CRIME from the atmos-
phere will settle into and clog the
pores unless the skin is cleansed often
enough to prevent obstruction of the
channels Of elimination.
Face powder as a beautifier for the
complexion has been used for centur-
les, and nowadays powder is taking a
still more important place among cos
metics and is used extensively for pro-
tecting the skin from the deleterious
effect of the sun and wind. Especial
ly Is this true since the automobile
has come into favor as a means of To-
comotion. Exposing the face to a
gentle breeze when one is walking re-
quires little thought as to purotective
measures, but exposing the face to the
strong wind when an auto is going 80
i or 40 miles an hour is quite another
thing Unless the face is well pro-
| tected the chances are that the skin
| will not only become tanned, but will
in time take on a withered look and
gain a hardness in texture which no
amount of makeup" will effectually
hide.
When a good cream is rubbed into
the skin before the powder is applied
it fills the pores with harmless sub
stance which is easily removed and
which prevents the dry powder from
settling into the pores and clogging
them. If a cleansing cream which is
light and penetrating is applied for the
first stage of the cleansing process,
the pores of the skin will be thorough
ly cleansed and every bit of powder
(and dust which may have been gath
cred on the ride) can be quickly
wiped off with soft absorbent cotton
and the skin will be found perfectly
clean.
II the skin shows the slightest ten
dency toward irritation from the ex-
posure to the wind, do not follow i'm
mediately with a soap and water
scrub. 1t is really not necessary and
will only serve to increase the irri-
tation. Battle the face gently with
rose water and be satisfied that you
have done your full duty.
