Train Hits Man.

On Thursday night of last week man
giving his name as Thomas Durborow of
Hagerstown, was struck by the engine
of freight train. Durborow and com
panion had been stopping at the home OF
Mrs Jacob Idle for some time previous.
On the night of the accident DurboroW,
it is stated, was on his way to the West
ern MARYLAND station to learn the time a
train left next day. He evidently did
not get far enough from the track and
was struck. The train did not stop until
Union Bridge was reached, the train
crew then wiring the agent at Thurmont
that they had hit man a short distance
west of the station. The operator called
DR.. Kefauver and about 2 o'clock a. M,
they found the unfortunate fellow lying
along the bank, he probably having been
there for nearly two hours. Durborow
was taken to Mrs Lidie's home and it
was found that he was injured about the
head and body severely. 1t is known
that consignments of beer and liquor
were being received by the two men
daily, and it may be possible that the
man was not altogether sober when
walking the track. He is yet at the
home of Mrs. Lidie.

Asking For Good Road.

1.-THE Board of County Commissioners
is being bombarded with petitions from
the various districts of the county for
the construction of up-to-date roads.
Monday petition was presented to the
commissioners from residents of near
Foxvile and Deerfield, asking for the
construction of three miles of road from
Deerfield to Foxvile. Columbus Fox
presented the petition and said that the
property owners of that section would be
willing to guarantee $1,000 toward the
erection of this road.
mo action was taken in regard to the
proposition. The commissl oners will take
up this matter later after making an
investigation of conditions. The road in
that section is reported to be in bad con-
diton and forms connecting link to
network of roads that traverse that COM
munty. Frederick Post.
Some time ago we learned that the
commissioners would be asked to build
the above road and were given to under
stand that the Board was favorably i'm
pressed with the proposition. Every
community should have good roads.
About year ago an appropriation was
made for the improvement of the road
from Thurmont to Graceham, the work
to be done as soon as stone crusher
then in use at Sabillasville could be Sc
cured The road for which stone were
being crushed at that place was finished
and then it was used to crush stone for
several more miles until Deertield was
reached.
Now that the above road is being
asked for, and that the crusher is in
close proximity to the road, the chances
are that it will remain in the mountain
and no stone will be crushed for the
Thurmont-G raceham road this fall or
winter 1t is needless to say that this
road is in bad condition. If the crusher
is wanted elsewhere, why not buy lime
stone and pike until the money appropri-
ated is used. The committee should get
busy in this matter.

Receive Severe Electric Shock.

Receive Severe Electric Shock.
Last Friday night number of persons
in this place received severe shock OF
electricity when they attempted to turn
off their electric light. The trouble was
caused by crossed wire on church street.
Or. E. c. Kefauver probably received
more of the current than any of the 9TH
ers who found hot stuff in the buttons.
He was knocked about ten feet and land
ed on his back. He was unconscious for
"a time. Three of his fingers were badly
burned. Mr.. John A. Stull received a
heavy shock in Waters drug store, sew
eral of his fingers being badly burned.
Others receiving an over amount of cur
rent are Messrs Lester Armacost, Nor
ris Rouzer and j. Howard Cassell.
The same night about four O'Clock a.
m, a telephone wire crossed the electric
light wire on w. Main street, tree be-
ny responsible for the wires crossing.
lhe cross caused the telephone bells in a
lumber of homes to ring more than an
1our.

Landed Second Money.
Key Mansion In Parade AT
Frederick Centennial
Celebration.

On Thursday of last week the civic
parade of the Star Spangled Banner cele
bration was held at Frederick. The
weather was ideal and thousands of PEG.
pie lined the shady side of the street tc
witness perhaps the finest parade given
in that city during the week.
Delegations from the county came
from Mt. Pleasant, Jefferson and Thur
mont Districts, each having more than a
hundred persons in line.
As was said by the honorable judges,
it was rather difficult to decide to which
of these delegations prize money should
be awarded Jefferson district was given
first prize, $50 90 and Thurmont, on ac-
count of having model of the "Key
Mansion" in line, was given second
prize, $500.
This model cost considerable work and
the prize money does not near rompen-
safe those who undertook the building of
the house. In all probability the house
will be put in good condition now that it
is again in Thurmont, and that it will be
photographed for post card work.
The floats from Jefferson and Mt.
Pleasant districts showed principally
farm products and made an especially
fine showing.
The many floats representing Frederick
city industries We're well prepared and
all worthy of consideration. The first
prize money was awarded c. Thomas
Kemp.
The hardware firm of Seeger & Co.
was pretty and well gotten up, and was
in the opinion of some, worthy of first
money.
On Friday the Fraternal societies of
Frederick city and county and organiza-
tons from abroad held the attention of
the citizens of Frederick and her many
visitors.
Monday was the closing day of the
Celebration, the pupils of the schools of
the city marching to the tomb of Key in
Mt. Olivet cemetery and singing the
"Star Spangled Banner" The pupils of
the schools in the county were supposed
10 assemble at their respective schools
at noon, on Monday, and sing the national
anthem. The remainder of the day was
observed as holiday.

Hospital Woods Falls.

Wiping out of the Hospital Woods, "
around which centers some of the most
cherished memories of the veterans
wounded on the battlefield at Gettysburg,
was begun this week by H. A. Myers, a
lumber dealer of Cumberland county, Pa,
says the Gettysburg Star e Sentinel.
The history of the woods, which is
located along the York pike about mile
from town, is we'll known to Gettysburg
folk. 1t was the site of the general hos
pital to which all the wounded were
taken and nursed back to life immedi-
ately after the battle.

To Boost Parcels Post.
National POstmasters Meet At
Baltimore City.

Shoeboxes and honey and vegetables
and the extension of the parcel post sys-
tenn in order to get farmer and consumer
in direct touch occupied the first session
of the National League of Postmasters
of the Third and Fourth Class Offices last
Tuesday in the Hotel Emerson, Balti-
more. These postmasters, representing
So, 900 postofiices. condemned utterly the
shoebox as a container and many sad
tales of broken honey jars were told.
The sentiment of the session was that
the duties of the postmasters in the
smaller towns include extending as far
as possible the parcel post system as an
eliminator of the middleman, the instruc-
tion of their patrons in the right use of
the parcels post and the prevention of
destruction of property through careless
packing.
In opening the discussion President j..
S. Mckinley, of Orient, Ohio, stated that
Postmaster-G General Burleson was wor-
thy chief because he is always on the job
looking after the interests of the post
masters and of the patrons, and that he
is making some postmasters get busy
who in their previous activities only drew
their salaries and their breath.
Turning again to containers, the lowlv
shoebox, the most universal container,
was utterly condemned as the greatest
offender in breaking open in shipment.
From experiences related every known
article almost has been sent through the
mails in unwrapped shoeboxes and few
sent in safety. One postmaster even
got an open jar of honey addressed to
himself in one such box. He said it
made "sweet mess" of the box s other
contents.
1t was clearly brought out that efficient
containers are procurable and are now in
use. One postmaster told of repeated
shipments of eggs from Oregon to Flor
da, with the first breakage yet to be
made. Other containers for other arti-
les are also in use, and it was stated
hat one duty of the third and fourth
lass postmasters is to instruct the
patrons what containers to use and how
to wrap them.

What Is Anti-TuberculOsis Work


For the benefit of the numerous organ-
zatio-s who helped to sell nearly As, 900,
900 Red Cross Seals last year and for the
general public, the American Red Cross
and the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
have framed a definition of anti tubercu-
losis work showing how the proceeds
from these holiday stickers are to be
used. The definition limits the expendi-
ture of money only for the year ending
April 80, 1915.
The definition was framed at a recent
meeting of the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
and states that the term 'anti-tubercu-
losis work" as it relates to the expendi-
ture of Red Cross Seal money shall in
clude the following activities:
l. The construction of hospitals or
sanatoria for the care of the tuberculous.
2. The maintenance of the tubercuous.
3. The provision of day or night camps
for the tubercuous; the provision and
maintenance of dispensaries, visiting
nurses, open air schools, fresh air classes,
or preventoria for the care or treatment
of tuberculous cases or for the preven-
ton of the spread of tuberculosis.
A. The maintenance of educational or
legislative activities which have for their
object the prevention of infection with
tuberculosis.
DR.. Charles j. Hatfield, executive sec
rotary of The National Association says
in commenting on this definition, "We
hope by this means to prevent the spend
ing, particularly of small sums of money,
in useless activities, and to direct the
efforts of all anti. tuberculosis agencies
along the lines which will produce most
results for the money invested. We are
in thorough sympathy and cooperation
with every movement for better com
munty or individual health, but if this
Red Cross Seal money is to be spent, as
we advertise, only for tuberculosis work,
wewish to see that it is expended to the
best advantage"
