IT is HOME.

Most young men, standing among the
most tremendous realities. have their
eyes half shut or entirely closed. A
mighty defence for a voung man is a
good home. Some of our readers look
back with tender satisfaction to their
early home. 1t NAV have been rude and
rustic, hidden among the hills. and archi-
tect or upholsterer never planned nor
adorned it. But all of the freSco on
princely walls never looked so eutcing 10
you as those rough hewu rafters. You
can think of no park or arbor Of trees
planted or a fashionable country seat so
attractive as the plain brook that ran IN
front of the old farm house and sang
under the weeping willows. No barred
gateway adorned with statuarv or bronze.
and swung open bv an obsequious
porter, in full dress, has half the glory of
the old, swinging gate. Many OF YOU
have a second dwelling place, your
adopted home, that also is sacred for
ever. There you built the first family
altar. There your children were born.
All of those trees you planted. That
room is sacred, because once in it, over
the hot pillow, Tapped the wing of death.
Under that roof, you expect, when your
work is done. to lie down and die. You
try with many words to tell the excel
lency of the place, but you fail There is
only one word in the English language
that can describe your feeling. 1t is
''home."

All Want Better Road Conditions.

The Board of County Commissioners
on Monday last, heard the grievances of
SIX delegations asking for better road
conditions, in all the petitioners asked
that 1916 miles of road in this county be
plked
Four of the six delegations agreed to
raise dollar for dollar with the county if
the roads were repaired and it will prob
ably be under this plan the roads will be
improved, as the commissioners say there
is no alternative when such offers aie
made. Most all of the petitioners at first
desired Shoemaker roads, but when it
was shown the cost was from $I2 600 per
mile or more, they decided it would be
economy 10 pay half of the cost Of a.
cheaper road rather than the 10 per cent.
OF the cost under the Shoemaker act.
1t is thought that roads can be built for
$4,000 to 81, 500 per mile, depending upon
the location of stone. The delegations
which asked for roads today came from
the following places:
Myersvile to Wolfsvile, distance of
seven miles. Petitioners are willing to
raise an amount equal to that offered by
the county commissioners.
MyersviIle to Wofsville a distance of
seven miles. Petitioners are willing 10
raise an amount equal to that offered by
the county commissioners.
Mount Pleasant to Walkersville, a dis
tance o; two and half miles. Residents
along the road will meet half the expenses.
New Midway to the Carroll county
line, distance of three miles. Residents
offer to raise S3,ooo about half the cost of
the Improvements.
Mount Airy toward Frederick for a
distance of fifth Of mile. No request
as TO method of meeting cost made.
Lime Kiln to Point of Rocks, a dis
tance of about one mile. Asked that i'm.
provements be made under the Shoe
maker law.
Brunswick to Petersvile, distance o
three miles. Residents agree to raise
half of cost.

Something to Hope For.

Have something to hope for
You may be poor
You may be weary and obscure;
You may be old or blind or lame,
Chance may have robbed YOU of your
rights.
You may not ever proudly claim
A place upon the cleaning heights
But you may have such joy as springs
Within the breast of him who thrives
The pride that fair achievement brings,
If hope within your heart survives
Have something to hope for
You NAV behold
A cleaning crown of gems and gold;
You NAV have have dreamed of glory
which
The future has reserved for you
In pleasing fancy. proud and rich.
You may be OF the splendid few;
Send forth ship; select a goal;
Set out shrub or plant a seed;
Keep some fair purpose in your SOUL
Let hope have food on which to feed
Have something to hope for.-S. f.

A REPLY.

Mr.. Editor:-In starting out into life
there is proffered to me two maxi.ns that
are said to lead to success: "Do your
duty in whatever path of life you may be
placed" and There is the White House;
get into it, If yon can" Which shall
choose?
My young friend, to me these two
maxims indicate contentment and am
biton, and would reply, there is no need
of both in this dav and to attain success.
Aim to advance in worldly position if
possible; the best road to success is de-
votion to your present duty. Aim to do
your work with whole and contented
thoroughness; this may lead you to the
higher spheres of lite. The important
question is not where YOU stand in the
world, but what you really are; and this
is determined not by the outside of cir
cumstances of wealth and rank. but by
the character within. Get riches and
honors il you can, but do not seek them
simply for their own sake; there are more
precious things than this by far The
best prize in life can be won by the
most humble citizen A useful career
and the love and esteem of those around
you, are more than titles and millions;
a noble character is brighter crown
than one of gold and Jewels.

THE VALUE OF KIND WORDS.

Let the young people who weekly read
this column never lose an opportunity
to say a kind word to their parents
Your parents have plannedifor your best
interests all these years. They may
some times (their nervous system all
used up by the cares and disappoint-
ments, and the worries Of life be more
irritable than they ought to be, and they
probably have faults which have become
oppressive as the years go bv. But those
eyes, long before they tookon spectacleS,
were watching for your welfare, and
their hands, not as smooth and more
deeply lined than yours, have done for
you many good days work. Life has
been to them more of a struggle than
you shall ever know about. and much
of the struggle has been for you, and
how much they are wrapped up in your
welfare you will never appreciate
Have you by word or gift or behavior,
expressed your thanks? Or if you can
not quite get up 10 saying it face TO face,
you have written it in some holiday salu-
tation? The time will soon pass and
they will be gone out of your sight
and their ears will not hear, and their
eyes will not see. If you owe them any
kindness of deed or any word of appre-
citation, why do you not say so? How
much we might all of us save ourselves
in the matter of regrets if we did not
delay until too late in our expression of
obligation that would have made the
last years OF their earthly life more at
tractive The grave is deaf and all Of the
epitaphs on cold marble cannot make
any repdration.

How Some Fat People
Eat Themselves Thin
(From Pilgrim Magazine. }

When it is remembered we require
but three ounces Of fat daily and that
most persons eat ten times that, the
wonder is that most people aren't cor
pulent. Some systems are able to burn
up the surplus fat, while others keep
storing away pound after pound OF
useless oils in the tissues just beneath
the skin. If fat folks could find some
thing that would absorb or expel these
oils from the body. they'd have the
long-sought obesity remedy.
If they only knew il, there rs rem
edy which acts in just these ways
dispensing oily and other unwholesome
secretions, absorbing and eliminating
them. This valua BILE remedy rs found
not in a nasty pill or liquid, but In pal
atable. harmless candy drops, known
hy druggists as "boranium jujubes. In
these days of widely advertised obesity
remedies, the humble ju1ube seems
70 have been relegated TO the back shell
But the wise ones know what these
wonderful little jujubes can accomplish
if but three or four are eaten every day
for awhile.-Adv.
