Quarantine Lifted.

An order signed by Secretary of
Agriculture d. f. Houston lifts on
December 1st from 60, $50 square
miles in Southern states the Fedora
quarantine against movement of the
Southern cattle. In regions infested
by the cattle tick it has not been held
safe to import better stock for the i'm
provement of Southern herds because
cattle freshly brought in from regions
where the tick is not prevalent are
especially prone to sicken and die
from the fever germs carried by the
blood sucking parasite. The Federal
quarantine against the cattle tick, on
the other hand, has prevented the
shipment of cattle from infested sec
tions for use as stockcrs and feeders
in free territory, and permits their
shipment into free territory only un-
der quarantine restrictions and for
immediate slaughter. The release
order for December lst frees the larg.
est amount of territory ever liberated
at one time since the Federal cam
paign against the cattle tick was be-
gan in 1906.

Must Standardize L0aves.
All Bakers To Be Placed Under
License December 10,

America 8 so-called "war bread" which
will be made from unmixed wheat -four,
skinned milk and less sugar and lard,
should be retailed at cents for a pound
loaf when sold for cash and carried home
by the consumer, says Herbert Hoover.
He was announcing the Federal Food
Administration plans for the standard
ization of bakers bread in this country
for the purpose of cheapening its cost
and conserving the supply of -four, sugar
and lard so that the United States can
have more of these food products for her
war a lilies in Europe.
Mr.. Hoover said President Wilson will
issue proclamation placing the bakers
upon the license system December 18th,
and the Food Administration will require
the bread manufacturers to bake loaves
of pound, u pounds, 2 pounds and 4
pounds. These will be the so-called stand
ard loaves. The recipe to be used re-
quires the use of skinned milk, one-half
less sugar and two-thirds less lard. 1t
is estimated that by this plan 100, 900, 900
pounds Of sugar and the same amount of
lard will be saved. 1t Is also said that
more than 600, 900 barrels of -four will be
saved if retailers are required to order
Just the amount of bread they can sell.
Mr.. Hoover's outline of the war
bread" plans in summary are as fol-
lows:
Every American family in economizing
on bread must serve one wheatless meal
a day. This is an extension of the wheat
less day a week for public restaurants.
Enough wheat will bekept in the Unit
ed States 70 feed the American people
unmixed wheat -four bread.
Bakers will be required to use only 3
pounds Of sugar to barrel of -four as
against pounds now used, and pounds
of shortening against pounds now used
and skinned milk
Fancy or sugar-coated bread will be
abolished.
Mr.. Hoover states that experiments
made in Belgium and in Germany have
shown that whole wheat flour, that is,
flour in which the bran is retained, pro-
duces dysentery and impairs the health
of the people Therefore, he said the
flour to be milled in this country for
American bread will be of 73 to IA per
cent

UNION MFG COMPANY.
The Adjective Clean Applies.

In the wars of an older day sol
dier was romantic picture of devil
try with the light of hell in his eye
and parched wistfulness in his
throat. The worst man might be the
best soldier; the rougher the neck the
bolder the heart, according to a the
ory that was not without some foun-
dation and which survives in spots
today. The literature of war prior
to 1914 helped to keep the tradition
alive. But whatever allowances may
be made for single men in barricks," !"
the mora tone of the modern army
naturally would be and is higher than
of old. This is not war of profess
sional soldiers; it is a war of citizens
on the defensive. The adjective
clean" has been pointedly used by
the President in his admonitions to
the men of the National Army. If
the country will consider the point
with few minutes of practical thot
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
tons proposed fund of S35, 900, 900
for providing the soldiers with hu-
man comforts and decent relaxation
will not be long in forthcoming

Few Navy EnliStmentS.

Maryland is again falling short Of
the mark in Navy enlistments. The
State that lead all the others in the
Union when the President sent out
his first call for volunteers early last
spring, is not maintaining It's record.
Lieutenant-C Commander John Gra-
dy, Recruiting Inspector for the East
cru Naval Division, is disappointed,
and is unable to ascribe the reason
for the slump.
No effort has been spared to put
the advantages of the Navy before the
young men of the State, and it is
hoped that November will show a de-
cisiye increase for the district.

The Explosives Law.
Heavy Penalty For Not Report
ing Dynamite In Your
POsSpSSiOn.
Possession,

Washngto November II. Any per-
son in the United States found with eX-
plosves in his possession after November
Is, and who does not have license issued
by the Federal government showing the
purpose for what the explosives are to
be used, will be at once arrested and
fined up to SIS, 600 or sent to prison for
one year. If the circumstances warrant,
the person may be fined $1,000 and in ad-
dition given the one year in prison.
This is the principal clause in war
measure passed by the last Congress
which is now being put into effect by the
Bureau of Mines, Department of the In
terror, which bureau has been charged
with its enforcement.
Persons apprehended in plots to blow
up factories and bridges will be turned
oyer to the authorities for prosecution
under Federal or state laws. Most states
have specially severe punishments for
these crimes.
The law provides that everyone who
handles explosives must have license.
The manufacturer. the importer and the
exporter must have licenses issued by
the Bureau of Mines in Washington. The
seller of explosives and the purchaser of
explosives must also have licenses, these
to be issued generally by county clerks,
or other local officers who are authorized
to administer oaths. There will be at
least one licensing officer in each county,
and more agents will be designated if the
county is sufficiently large to warrant it.
If state has laws providing for sys-
TEN of licensing persons manufacturing,
storing, selling or using explosives, the
state officials authorized to issue such
state licenses shall be designated as
federal licensing agents; also city officials
qualified to issue city explosives licenses
will be given authority to issue federal
licenses. A federal license will not re-
lieve any person from securing licenses
required under state laws and local ordi-
nances.
Only citizens of the United States or
of countries friendly to the United States
and the Allies may 80 obtain licenses.
Contractors, mining companies, quarry
men and others using large quantities of
explosives, which are handled by en-
ployees, may issue explosives to their
employees only through those employees
holding a license, called foreman's
license.
The purchaser of dynamite, in obtain
ing a license, must state definitely what
the explosive is to be used for and will
be held accountable for its use as stated
and the return of any explosives that
may be left.
With the strict enforcement of this
law, the Federal authorities hope to pre-
vent explosives falling into the hands of
evilly disposed persons and to put stop
to all further dynamite plots.

Commissions For All.

Announcement was made by Sec

1t will require more than 1000 of
the second camp graduates to fill up

needed in the organization of divis-
ional units such as trains, trench
mortar batteries, machine gun battal-
ions and divisional troops of various

man making the sale and reporting the
same to US Monday of this week.

The tract consists of $40 acres OF land,
and contains at this time the finest oak,
hickory, locust, poplar, chestnut and

mill did large business, the motive
power being furnished by water from
this stream.
During the last few years some valua-
BILE timber, black walnut especially. has
been cut and also some of the various
kinds of oak, but still there remains

A nationwide campaign was launched
on Monday of this week to raise fund
of $35, 900, 900 to enable the Young Mems
Christian Association to carry on its
splendid work of service during the great
world war. The quota of the State OF
Maryland is 100000, and Frederick
county's share is $4,000. The campaign
will close on Monday the 10Th.
On Saturday last committee OF Y.
M. C. A. workers, headed by Mr.. c, A.
Estes, came to Thurmont and addressed
the local pastors, urging them to appeal
to their respective congregations to CO.
operate. Mr.. Estes told of the wonder
full work already done by the Y. M c.. A.
in our Army cantonments as well as IN
the great military camps of all the allied
nations.
This organization ministers to the
physical, social, intellectual and spiritual
needs Of the soldiers. 1t has been official
" recognized by the various governments
and its work enthusiastically endorsed
by the great world leaders. The person.
mel of the Y. M. C. A. workers is Of the
highest type. They make friends with
"our boys, help them in the time OF
temptation, give them wholesome enter
tainment and helpful instruction. Thro'
the Y. M. C. A. the boys get some of the
comforts of home.
The churches of Thurmont have agreed
to help in providing the desired funds
with which to continue this helpful SER
vice. A committee has been appointed
in each congregation to canvass the mem
bership and solicit contributions. Per-
sons may make an entirely cash contrl-
button or can pay fifty per cent of their
subscription now, Is per cent January
lst and 25 per cent April lst.
Every person in Thprmont can give
something, according to his ability. II
you have not yet been canvassed find out
who has the work in charge in your
church and voluntarily do you bit. When
the results of the campaign are an
nounced shall we of Thurmont be proud
of our community? The answer depends
partly on you! Let every one give-even
at a sacrifice-and have the feeling of
satisfaction that follows worthy act.

fort of the soldiers and sailors themselves.
In many cities the "Home Service of
the Red Cross Chapter has already been
placed under heavy burden. The work
demands an ability to deal with new
problems which can be acquired only
through training.
In order to insure to it's local leaders
the best possible opportunities for train
ing, the Red Cross has arranged for a
series of Institutes to be given in the fall
and winter of 1917 in each of several
cities representing every section of the
country.
| These Institutes on Home Service will
be opened to the executives and members
of Home Service sections, and to other
qualified volunteers. The courses will
take the full time of those who attend
for period of six weeks. The program
of all the Institutes will be practically
the same. They will be prescribed by
the Red Cross and given under it's aus
pices.
The course in each Institute will in
clude four hours Of lectures and discus
sion each week; certain required read
ing, while the balance of the time-about
twenty-five hours each week will he
spent in supervised practical field work
in the Home Service of the Chapter in
whose city the Institute is held, or in
other local agencies that do social work
with families. The membership in each
Institute will be limited to rs to assure
adequate personal attention in classroom
discussion and in field work.
A certificate will be granted by the
American Red Cross to those who COM
plete the work with credit, and, in the
field work, show such qualifications as
fit them to assume responsibility in Home
Service.
So far as possible each Institute will
be affiliated with local university or
training school for social work in order
to secure the highest grade of practical
instruction.
We are facing deficit, that is certain.
War kills off much of the best of ma
tion's manhood; temporarily it deprives
the home life of the nation of much re-
sponsible influence. Can the deficit be
supplied? The answer must come from
those of us who are at home.
There is decision due in 1886.

An Old Mans Stomach.

AS we grow older and less active, less
and less food is required to meet the de-
mands of our bodies. If too much is
habitually taken, the stomach will rebel.
When man reaches the advanced age
of IS or 80, you will find that he Is a
light eater. Be as careful as you will,
however, you will occasionally eat more
than you should and will feel the need OF
Chamberlain Tablets to correct the
disorder. These tablets do not contain
pepsin, but strengthen the stomach and
enable it to perform its functions natur-
ally. They also cause gentle move
