Fire of mysterious origin broke out IN
the rear of the Osler Building, located
on the northwest corner of Main and
Church streets, this place, Monday night
about 2 o'clock, the blaze being discov-
cred by Mrs. John Hoffman who resides
several doors west from the corner.
This corner building is one of the old
ones in the town, the main part being
built of brick. To this, many years ago,
was added frame building which had
been used for general store purposes.
Some years ago the rear portion OF this
structure was converted into an ice house.
The front at present being used as pool
room by Mr.. M. J. Albaugh, Jr.
The corner rooms were occupied by
by Wisotzkey Bros, confectioners, and
the room between Wisotzkey's and the
poolroom was occupied by Mr.. j. Quinn
Florence who conducted barber shop
and bowling alleys. Mr.. VIM. Henshew,
timer, occupied the second story room
over the poolroom, the remainder of the
second story rooms being used as ware
rooms by Wisotzkey Bros. Mr.. W. A.
Hahn occupied the rooms on Church st.,
formerly Lucas barber shop.
The fire originated in the rear OF the
building, the bowling alley building and
ice house being on fire when the firemen
arrived. These being frame and very
dry, were soon burned to the ground.
The woodwork in the brick building
.aught and the flames found their way
o the attic, and made the work difficult
or the fremen.
The crowd that gathered carried about
Ill of Wisotzkey's stock of goods and
fixtures across street. Their stock on
The second floor, consisting of considera-
ole Xmas goods, was damaged by fire
and water.
Mr.. Florence saved his barber chairs,

May Draft AT Capitol.

The necessary laws for drafting have
about all been whipped into shape and
await the signature of President Wilson.
Just where the drafting of men for the
new National army will be done has not
been settled, but many think the draft
will be made from Washington in order
that no partially or favoritism be shown
local men. Every registered man is
numbered and the drawing will be by
numbers. Few persons at Washington
would know who is who in Thurmont or
any place other than his home town, pro-
vided those in charge of the drafting
were originally from the country, and
no favoritism could be shown.

Speaks For Red Cross Fund.

Last Saturday evening Leo Weinberg,
attorney from Frederick City, came to
Thurmont and made most pathetic ap-
peal for funds for the Red Cross Society.
This week a campaign on in Maryland
to raise part of the $500, 900, 900 fund for
Red Cross Work in France, England and
other countries whose people are suffer-
ing from invasion by the German armies.
Mr.. Weinberg came here unannounced
but few minutes after beginning his
talk several hundred ladies and gentle
men stood around him and eagerly listen
ed to what he had to say. People in
Thurmont should remember that in CIV
ing of their means young men of this
place may be made comfortable in for
eign country in the near future. Not
all the money donated finds its way into
the pockets of officers as some would
like to have it appear.

OSLER BUILDING BADLY BURNED.
Three Firms Put Out of Business in Few
Hours. Firemen Do Good Work
And Save Nearby Property.

ruined by ceiling and walls falling in on
them covering them completely, and two
others were probably injured by water.
Mr.. Hahn's stock Of meat was not in
jured, the fire not getting to his apart
| ments.
Mr.. Henshew's stock and tools were
not damaged.
All the building except the bowling al
lev shed was covered with tin and aided
very much in keeping the flames confin-
ed. The brick walls also kept the fire
from spreading, although on all sides the
near buildings are of stone and brick.
Except for damage by water the brick
part of the building was not damaged
very much, the large glass windows along
the street being intact except one.
It is said all firms in the building car
ry insurance, and the building was also
insured. Just what the loss will amount
to has not as yet been determined.
Those at the fire state that practically
no breeze was stirring, not enough to
carry the smoke away.
Mr.. Dan'l Flory was about the first
man on the street and aroused many per-
sons from their slumbers. Strange it is
but persons living scarcely more than
block away knew nothing of the fire. yet
men two miles from town came in and
rendered what assistance they could.
The fremen again demonstrated their
ability in fighting blaze, and in this
particular case saved much valuable prop
erty from destruction. Hose were kept
attached to the plugs the greater part OF
Tuesday morning.
Wisotzkey Bros. are now doing bust
ness in M. L. Creager's building on E.
Main street, their stock having been
carried to that building while the Osler
building was burning. They wish THE
CLARION to thank all those who assisted
in saving their stock and fixtures.

Type of Men Desired.

A letter received from the Maryland
League for National Defense, concern
ing the Officers Training Camp at Fort
Myer to which Maryland will be permit
ted to send 2O8 men, says:
1.-THE ideal man for the second camp is
over the draft age-preferably around
IS. He need not have had military ex-
perience, but should have shown since he
left college or high school, whichever the
case may be, capacity for leadership.
That is, man who has attained some
local prominence by making a success of
his business as reasonably far as a man
of that age can, and who has been active
in public affairs along broad lines. A
healthy outdoor loving individual and a
man who is good mixer with men.
GAS for the men under 81, they should
have had some military experience that
really amounts to something, not merely
year or two in boys school five or
ten years date back, that never amount
a great deal originally and that they have
forgotten since.
GAS for exceptional qualifications, l
should say those are where man has
shown an individuality that is acknowl-
edged by associates of his age, by ex-
ceiling in some special line. Some men
have been abroad driving ambulances in
France. Other men have been presi-
dents of rife clubs and have shown a ca.
pacity for leadership and organization.
Other men have been ahead of Boy Scout
movements and other public enterprises.
1t is rather hard to define specifically
but the general type we all recognize
when we meet him is the man who is
clean cut and of strong. vigorous per
sonality, distinctly manly within the linn
its of his age and has shown some pre-
eminence over his fallows."

told of going into the interior of India,
where he was taken sick, that he had a

lieved that it saved his life. This remedy
is used successfully in India both as a
preventive and cure for cholera. You

complaint that occur in this country.
