Family Burned Alive.
News Cast Gloom Over Many
Friends In This County.

News of the horrible and untimely
death of Mr.. and Mrs. Harry c. Alvey
and their three children, reached Thur
mont Monday evening through the COL
umns of the Hagerstown daily Mail.
Mr.. and Mrs. Alvey, formerly of Ha-
gerstown, were residing near Winter
Haven, Florida, and with their children
were burned to death in their home near
that place early Monday morning.
Details of the tragedy are not as yet
fully known, and possibly never will be.
Mrs. Alvey before marriage was Miss
Bertha Keyser, second daughter of the
late George d. Keyser, who with his
family, resided in Thurmont for num-
Der of years. From the Baltimore papers
the following account is taken:
"Tampa, Fla, Dec. q. Harry c..
Alvey, son of former Chief Jud re Rich
ard H. Alvey, of Maryland; his wife,
formerly Miss Bertha Keyser, and their
three children were burned to death at
an early hour this morning at their hand
some winter home two miles from Winter
Haven, Fla. The origin of the fire is un-
known.
"Neighbors noticed the Alvey home on
fire shortly after 3 O'Clock and hurried
to render assistance. The Alveys had
been making an automobile trip, and it
was not known that they had returned
home, else they might have been saved.
After everything possible had been done
to extinguish the flames, someone noticed
the family automobile in the garage, and
as soon as possible search was made in
the ruins for the remains. They were
discovered shortly after daylight.
"From the position of the bodies it is
evident that Mr.. and Mrs. Alvey discov-
cred the flames and rushed to the nursery
where their children were. They were
evidently trapped there, and persisted
with the children. The charred bodies
were beyond Identification.
1.-The Alleys had occupied their winter
home at Winter Haven for the last two
winters, and were among the most pop
ular of the winter colony, entertaining
avishly in their handsome home
Mr.. Alvey was a brother of Mrs.
Glenn H. Worthington, wife of Judge
Worthington, of Frederick, Md. Mrs.
Worthington learned Monday that her
brotherinlaw, j. A. c. Allen, whose win
ter home adjoins the Alvey plantation in
Florida, would bring the dead bodies to
Hagerstown for burial.

WY French Women
Have Few Wrinkles

American women marvel at the vel
vety skins Of their Partisan sisters and
rather chide the fate which treats the
European SO graciously when. in reality,
it lis neither chance nor nature which
makes the difference. It Is only the
difference Of care and the use of proper
treatment which marks the beautiful
skin from the wrinkled, unpleasant one.
The heavy massage is one of the Amer
lcan institutions which makes the flesh
and skin flabby, while the use of a
simple vegetable jelly cream takes little
time and both cures wrinkles and pro-
tects against them. 1t will not grow
hair nor stain bed linen and acts i'm
mediately. Just dissolve one ounce Of
Almozoin (every good druggist carries
this) in n pint water and before retir-
ing apply the paste thus made to the
wrinkled surface. At the very first APP
plication you will feel a slight drawing
and note the fact that the blood is more
active in the region which Is covered.
This means stimulation of the face
muscles and greater supply Of flesh
building material brought to the sur
FACE at the place it Is most needed
which will demonstrate its power to
smooth the skin and stimulate it so that
the surface becomes perfectly healthy.
