Fell Under Wa9On,

On Thursday afternoon of last wesk as
a number of workmen were bringing
load of four 40-foot poles from the mount
ain at Catoctin Furnace, an accident
happened which may yet cost Mr.. Els
worth Stitely his life.
One of the wheels caught at a small
stump and stopped tho team. To get
away Stitely attempted to pull the mules
to the left, and his pull was too much
for the line and it broke, throwing him
in the path of the wheel. Before the
team could be stopped the wheel passed
across his body diagonally from the right
hip. One of companions rushed to him
and both came near being caught by the
rear wheel of the long coupled wagon.
Mr.. Stitely has suffered very much the
past week from his injury, but it is now
thought he will recover.

Maryland Milk Production.
Cost Being Investigated By
DIR. A. F. Woods.

The Maryland Council of Defense is
very much concerned on account of the
reports which are reaching it with re-
spect to a disposition on the part of some
of the dairymen to curtail their produc-
ton, and to dispose of their herds for
other than dairy purposes.
The Council has been expecting that
the United States Food Administration,
which has been considering the matter,
would feel warranted in taking some
definite action with respect to prices of
milk, but appreciates the magnitude of
this undertaking throughout the whole
country.
So, in order to expedite "a solution in
Maryland, the Council has asked Or. A.
F. Woods, president of the Maryland
State College of Agriculture, to under
take, Immediately. an investigation and
report upon the question of producing
milk in Maryland, also the cost of bott-
ling and distributing milk in Baltimore
city and other centers in the State, and
will publish these findings at the earliest
possible moment.
Any action which would produce milk
shortage in Maryland at time like this
would be public calamity. Everyone is
being asked to make great sacrifices,
and we appeal to you as patriotic citizens
upon which great deal depends, not to
make any change in your business which
would tend to reduce the milk supply,
but, on the contrary, to increase it in
every proper wsy. We feel that you
can safely await these public findings,
which will not be delayed a minute be-
yond the time necessary to give this i'm
portant matter the investigation requir-
ed to get at the facts.

1t will be recalled that some time ago
Elmer Seipler, of Catoctin Furnace,

on William Foreman and another on Jos.

Friday, when he started again to get
rich quick.
This time he operated in Frederick city
just as successfully as he did in Thur
mont, and got the Farmers & Mechanics
bank for $2l. 90 and the firm of Rosenour
& Sons for the sum of $1,000. One of
the checks used was supposed to be from
Wisotzkey Bros, of this place.
After securing the money and some
clothing, he started on a flying trip to
the north, Nothing definite has been
learned of his whereabouts.

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 85 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's Tablets to correct the
disorder. These tablets 10 not contain
pepsin, but strengthen the stomach and
enable 1t to perform its functions natur-
ally. They also cause a gentle move
ment of the bowels.
