"THE WOMAN -

"The Woman" contains fascinating
combination of political and domestic i'll
trigue. Jim Blake" is the boss of one
of the great political rings at Washing
ton, and is doing his utmost to pass bill
that will wrongly favor the railroads. He
is opposed by young reformer by the
name of Matthew Standish. The sym
pathy of the public is SO clearly with
Standish that Blake sees his bill will be
doomed to failure unless something can
be done to discredit his opponent. He
hires detectives and discovers that there
was once an affair between Standish and
a woman, and that they did not marry.
With this to work on, Blake makes a
tremendous effort to get the woman $
name, confirm the story, and have it
printed in leading newspaper.
This is positively one Of the strongest,
finest, most sympathetic American photo
dramas ever produced.

Safe Medicine for Children.

"Is it safe?" is the question to be con-
sidered when buying cough medicine for
children. Chamberlain Cough Remedy
has long been favorite with mothers of
Young children as it contains no opium or
other narcotic, and may be given to a
child as confidently as to an adult. 1t is
pleasant to take, too, which is of great
Importance when a medicine must be
given to young children. This remedy is
most effectual in relieving coughs, colds
and Group. Obtainable everywhere.

"FANCHON THE CRICKET" "

Mary Pickford, the worlds foremost
motion picture star, is utterly fascinating
in the role of Fanchon, a mischievous
imp of girl, the scorn and by-word of
the village, who, under the subtle in
huence of love, gradually develops a
goodness of disposition and a general
bent toward virtuous principles whereby
she eventually gains the heart of the
man she loves, and triumphs gloriously
over the envy hatred and uncharitable-
ness of the rustic community of which
she had been a despised and rejected
member. There is naturalness about
her portrayal-a sparkling, quaint orgi-
nality-that is absolutely irresistible, and
"Fanchon the Cricket" will undoubtedly
be considered as notable an achievement
as her memorable characterization of
Tess of the Storm Country"

Want Road Improved.
Route Direct to State SanatOr-
ium and Mountain Resorts.

ium and Mountain Resorts.
About fifty of the representative citi-
zens of Thurmont, Deerfield and Sablll-
asvile met with the Commissioners of
Frederick county at Deerfield on Monday
afternoon to consider the proposition of
rebuilding the road from Thurmont to
Deerfeld.
This road branches off from the State
Road near Thurmont and is the direct
route from this place to the Maryland
State Sanatorium near Sabillasvile and
to the various Summer resorts--Blue
Ridge Summit, Monterey and Pen-Mar-
on the crest of the Blue Ridge mount
aims. 1t is also direct route to Waynes-
boro, Pa. Between the places mentioned
the road almost parallels the Western
Maryland Railroad, there being four
grade crossings, all of which are very
dangerous, in very short distance.
In order to eliminate the four danger
Gus crossings where many serious ac-
cdent has been narrowly averted, it will
ne necessary to make two changes in the
location of the road each change neces-
stating the building of half mile of new
road The following committee has been
selected to make the survey, estimate
the cost, and confer with the W. M rail-
way officials, who also are interested in
eliminating these dangerous grade cross
ings: DR.. V F. Cullen, chairman; M. l..
Creager, C. H. Brown, p. N. Hammaker,
l.. S. Brely, Hon. j. 2. T. Matthias, l..
X. Wac sche, Roscoe Brown.
The County Commissioners will accom-
pany the Committee when they go to lay
he proposition before the railroad ofilci
ais, and it is confidently expected that
the railroad company will be willing to
give substantial help in aking the
changes, because it will save them the
expense of having tlagmen at these cross
ingS in the near future.
At the interview Monday, DR.. Cullen,
Sup't State Sanatorium, informed the
Commissioners that he had the promise
of $500 in cash from citizens of Pennsyl-
vania to aid in this Improvement and said
ne felt positive of being able to raise still
more He furthermore stated that the
Sanatorium team would do free work on
the road after harvest.
Now, if one person can do that much
and we all 90 into the work with the
same spirit what a power we will be.
We cannot expect the County Commits
sioners to bear the entire expense of this
improvement, but they say they will do
their part. We believe the railroad COM
pany will do its part, therefore, citizens
of Thurmont, of Deertield, and of Sabill
asvile, it behoov US to do our part, so
let us put our shoulders to the wheel and
push this improvement through to a sue
cessful completion and get rid of five
miles of road that is disgrace to our
county and community and menace to
the lives of those who travel it.
