The Newest Thing In Town,

Every now and then something new,
the first of its kind, arrives in Thurmont
A particular piece of kitchen furniture,
new gas stove, was installed in Aurors
Cottage kitchen last week. This is the
first stove of the gas variety to come tc
Thurmont and is decidedly the newest
thing in town. Along with the stove
came fireless cooker, but this is not
new. Mrs. Charles C. Waters is greatly
pleased with these cooking utensils,
especially the cooker. All that is neces-
sary is to place your meats and vegeta-
bles therein-it does the balance and
cooks to perfection.

German Submarine Boat
Crosses Atlantic.
DOcked Near Fort McHenry,
Baltimore, And UnlOads Cargo.

Baltimore, And UnlOads Cargo.
Completing one of the most re-
markable trips by craft of its type
ever attempted and making good a
boast of the Germans that it could be
done, the German submarine
Deutschland, carrying 1000 tons OF
cargo, a quantity Of mail and sup
posedly a message from Emperor
William of Germany to President
Wilson, arrived in the Virginia Capes
Sunday morning, July 9th.
The submersible, said to be the
largest type of undersea craft ever
constructed, passed Cape Henry at
AS o'clock. She cautiously made
her way up the Chesapeake and dock
ed Monday morning at 6 O'Clock just
to the northwest of Fort McHenry,
Baltimore.
The Deutschland, the biggest sub
marine yet designed, is 3l5 feet long.
Her length is much more than that
of the U-boats which have been in
the war service of Germany. Her
beam is 80 feet, her speed II knots
on the surface and she has crew OF
30 men. Her draft is II feet and
she has cruising area of 900 miles.
Her trip took about rs days from
Bremerhaven, which is about that OF
the usual freight boats.
She carries no guns and is owned
by the Ocean Navigation Company,
a commercial firm, whose Baltimore
agents are A. Schumacher Il Co.
The Deutschland brought 1900
cases Of dyestuffs, scutf iron for bal
last and number of sealed packages
of mail. The packages bear the seal
of the Imperial Government and are
addressed to *. B. d." who is
supposed to be Ambassador Won
Bernstorff.
She probably will begin taking on
her return cargo of nickel and rub
Der, which is stored at the pier where
she lies, within a day or so after she
shall have completed unloading.
Whether she will carry to Germany
valuables in addition to the nickel
and rubber is unknown. Nor is it
known when she will leave Baltimore.
Extraordinary precautions have
been taken to protect the Deutsch
land. As soon as she reached her
dock an army of guards drove away
all river craft and a huge chain of
logs was drawn around her to pre-
vent vessels from approaching within
100 feet of the ship. On the land
side of the dock a high board fence
reaching far into the river had been
erected. On top of the fence are half
a dozen rows of heavy barbed wire
and curtained with burlap to shut off
all views.
The Deutschland can submcrge a
little more than 800 feet.

My stomach would get sour and acid and a short time after wards a, headache would come on that was excruciating. I used a great many headache powders and they would merely ease the. attack, but that was all. I gave Lax-a-Tone a thorough trial and my digestion is perfect and have no more head aches.''

BILL FISCHER,
 BACKSTOP OF BRUINS
 A PROMISING PLAYER

William Fischer, who shared with Art Wilson the backstop honors of the 1915 Fed League champion Whales, will pass the quarter century mark to- morrow, having been born in New York on March 2, 1891. If his work with the Feds is any indication, Fischer looks like a promising player. It was expected that Tinker would keep Wilson, as Archer's chief assist ant, but the former Giant catcher who earned the title of Home Run Wilson by his stick work with the Whales, has been sol& to Callahan's Corsairs- It is now seemingly up to Fischer to act aide de camp to the famous fIibernian backstop of the Bruins. Archer, by the way, has lately been adding to his income by acting as a 1tfe-saver at a, Florida re- sort.
 If Fischer displays the same class against National League pitching as he did when the pellets were propelled by the Fed slab artists he should

NEEDFUL KNOWLEDGE
Bridgeport People Should Learn To Detect the Approach of Kidney
 Disease,

The symptoms of kidney trouble are many. Disordered kidney often excrete a thick, cloudy, offensive urine, full of sediment, irregular of passage or attended by a sensation of scalding The back may ache, head aches and dizzy spells may occur and the victim is often weighted down by a feeling of languor and fatigue. Neg 1ect these warnings and there is dan ger. Delay often proves fatal.
 You can use no better endorsed kid ney remedy than DOan'S Kidney Pills. Here's Bridgeport proof of their merit.
 Mrs. c. A. Swanson, 161 Deacon St., Bridgeport, says: ''I was all run down and caught cold in my kidney about four years ago. was bothered with constant, lame back and when I stopped over, I had to be helped us, because of the sharp pains in the small of my back. had rheumatic pains in my shoulders and feet and all through my body at times. I was ad- vised to use Doan's Kidney Pills and I got some at Riker & Hegeman Co.'S Drug Store. Two boxes greatly bene- fted me-

make a valuable man for the Tinker ties. Bill batted 1926 in 1O5 games with the Whales last year, leading the club in the. batting department, and standing third among the Fed League regulars. That was a great improve ment over his stick work in the Ma tiona1 League, where he batted .26T in 1913 and .257 in 1914, while with the Brooklyn Dodgers. As a catcher Bill was not so proficient last year as Wilson. who was also in the 300 class of Fed swatters, with an average for the season of .309.
 Fischer lacks an inch of being @ six-footer. Early in his baseball ca reer he was given trial by Brook lyn, but was turned over to Bing- hamton for further seasoning. After a couple of seasons with BinghamtOn he went to Toronto for a year. He did so we'll with the Maple Leafs that Squire Ebbets recalled him to Brook lyn. Fischer stuck in the City of Churches two years, and then harl- ened to the lure of the Fed sirens joining the Tinker clan. Fischer still lives in New York. and sells real es- tate on the side.

resolutions would require a. special rule to bring them up in the House. and he applied at once to tBef conn- mittee having 4jurisdiction oyer rules. If he had applied to the committee on foreign affairs, the sensibilities of the committee would have been spared; ]; but if that committee acquiesced in his request, it would on it's own ac- count have had to ask the committee on rules for facilities for immediate action.
 As indicated in his letter to MT. Pou, the one thought in the Presf- dents mind was the necessity for abroad that he could not command the support of his own Congress. hese reports, coming back from for eign capitals, have seriously concern ed high officials of the administration.
 CIark's Warning.
 Speaker Clark told the President a few days ago that unless something was done the McLemore resolution would be adopted by a vote of three to one in the House. MT. Kitchin made a similar, estimate. of the situation, which was corroborated by what the President heard from MT. Flood of Virginia, chairman of the com1N ittee on foreign affairs. In his letter to- day, without referring to their state ments to him., but simply to reports of the same sort circulating in for eign capitals that there are divid- ed counsels in Congress- the Presi- dent said he believed the reports were false.
 The administration has been par ticularIy worried over the situation in Berlin and the reports circulating there even in official quarters. Some of these reports go so far as to imply that President Wilson wanted war with Germany so he could go into the political campaign with the glamor of a 'fwar presiden and thus insure his own election. But, according to this report, thee ountry does not want a brea6h with Germany, and is unwil1-1 ing to give the President a free hand in foreign affairs.
 These reports threaten seriously to embarrass future diplomatic dealings with Germany, and it is believed that at least a, part of the Presidents pur- pose in asking for prompt action in Congress was to show the world that he had the confidence of thee ountry and that the demands he voiced were really the demands of the United States

MANY CHANGES IN BIG LEAGUE CLUBS
 DURING THE WINTER

Never in one winter have so many
 major league clubs been sold as this one. In the last two months the Cubs,
 Brown Cleveland and Braves have passed into the hands of new owners.
 While Dit has been represented that
 major league owners require a fleet of 1 high-powered motor trucks to haul
 their gains to the bank, it is singular
 that they should be willing to part
 with such a good thing.
 1 A list of the changes in the National league since the fall of 1915 is fol-
 lows:
 Phdladelphia-ow by largo 1 group of small holders and then sold to Messrs. McNichol, Wolfe and Dur ham. These three men soon sold the club to Charles P. Taft and Charles w. Murphy, who made Horace FHogel president Later Taft and Murphy sold the franchise to a syndicate head ed by the late Will Locke. On his death the shares shifted again. Will liam H. Baker, vfce-p president under Locke, bought the widows holdings and is president today.
 Boston-Sold five times in 10 years. At first owned by the pioneers, Soden Conant and Billings. They sold the club to George and John Dovey before the season of 1907 started. John P. Harris and William H: Russell pur- chased the team from them in 1910. In 1912 John Ward and James Gaffney obtained control Ward sold out his interest and Gaffney with Robert Da- wis, became supreme. Now Gaffney and Davis sell the franchise to Percy Haughton, Harvard'S famous football coach.
 Brooklyn-Charles Ebbets has held uninterrupted control, but in 1913 he had to sell a big interest in the club to the McKeever brothers in order to finance the building of Ebbets field.
 NI6axxr 11n int Sfi1 control the club, but there are a mum Der of stockholders interested and small blocks of stock have changed hands. On the death of John T. Brush, Harry N. Hampstead, his son in-1aw, became president.
 'Chicago-Ten years ago this club was owned by James Hart and asso- ciates, but in the fall of 1905 it passed into the hands of Charles P. Taft and Charles w. Murphy. The latter sold his holdings to Taft two years ago. One of the peace pact terms was the sale of the Cubs to Charles Weegh- man. 8|
 St. Louis-The team has been in control of the Robison interest with out interruption. Frank De Haas Robison was succeeded by his brother, Stanley Robison, on. his death. Stan ley Robison also died, and now Schuy- Ter P. Britton, husband of Stanley Robison's niece, is president
 P1ttSburg.h--BarneyD DreyfuSS has had controlling interest ever since 1900.
 4Cincinnati-August Hermann has retained the presidency for more than 10 years, but there has been constant transfer of stock. The F'leischmanns recently sold their large interest in the club.
 In the American league there also have been changes. Connie Mack and the Shibes still control the Athletics, although several seasons ago the late Frank Hough and Samuel Jones sold their holdings to Mack.
 The Browns were recently sold and the Boston club has seen several changes of ownership. Frank Farrell sold the New York club to Messrs Rupert and Huston, and there have been ',o1nor changes in the Washing ton ownership.

Money Mad Tactics of Modern Boxers Bound
 To Hurt Attendance

New York, March 1-Money-mad tactics of modern day boxers are rid ling the old game of hsticuh1ng to a. state of collapse. From practically every ring center of importance in this country comes reports of g. noticeable falling off in the attendance at boxing contests, and men who follow the trend of the times in affairs pugHistic unhesitating1y declare that the fight CTS and their grasping managers alone are to blame for this regrettable con dition.
 The leanest season in gate receipts experienced in many years is the pre- diction from matchmakers every where
 In searching for the cause Of de- creased patronage, promoters have found conclusive evidence to show that the fans are wearying and re- belIine- against the frenzted financial methods of so-called stars of pug1ltsnn and beginning to object to continuing as the golden, goose that fattens the purses of this gentry.
 Instances where boxers have earned from $5,0O0 to $15,OOO and $18,OOO for approximately 30 minutes of 'ac-s tua1 fighting are so numerous that they cause little comment at the time, but when the fighters in question be- gin to boast of their earning power, rather than their fighting prowess, then the public starts to sit up and take notice.
 The money received for six and ten round battles by fistic celebrities often represents the amount that makes up the average mans yearly income. When the workingman or small bust- ness or professional man begins to think seriously of this discrepancy in earning power he resent the fact that the average fighter, with little intelli- gence is capable of drawing enormous nav for his services.

THE WHITE HOUSE, Washington, Feb. 29, 1916.

My Dear Mr. Pou
 Inasmuch as I learn that MT. Henry, the Chair man of the Committee Rules is absent in Texas, take the liberty of calling your attention, rank ing member of the committee, to a matter of grave consequence to the country which can believe, be handled under the rules of the House only by that committee.
 The report that there divided counsels in Congress in regard to the foreign policy of the Gov ernment is being made industrious of in foreign capitals. believe that report to be false, but long it is anywhere credited it cannot fail to do the greatest harm and expose the country to the most serious risks.
 therefore feel justified in asking that your committee will permit me to urge early vote upon the resolutions with regard to travel armed merchantmen which have recently been much talked about, in order that there may be afforded immediate opportunity for full public discussion and action upon them, and that all doubts and lectures may be swept away and foreign rela- tions once more cleared of damaging misunder- standings.
 The matter is of so grave importance and lies so clearly within the field of executive initiative that venture to hope that your committee will not think that I taking unwarranted liberty in making this suggestion to the business of the House, and very earnestly commend it to their immediate consideration
 Cordially and sincerely yours, WOODROW WILSON.
