'UNLOADED" GUN IS.
DISCHARGED BY BOY

A 9-year-old youngster, accom-
panied by his father showed up in
the city court yesterday morning. the
boy facing charge of discharging
firearms in the Hsy limits. He was
arrested by Officer Whittle when a
gunshot was heard at the boys home,
but it developed that the child was
handling a gun which had been re-
ported in the "unloaded" class. As
a result, the boy pulled the trigger
in some unaccountable way and a
charge tore its way through the dim
ing room floor. A companion, about
the same age, was in the room with
him.
The child was cautioned against
further curiosity when around guns,
and was allowed to go when it was
clearly proven to have been an acct
dent. He had been repeated armed by
his parents against handling the dam
gerous weapon.

Look and Feel
Clean, Sweet and
Fresh Every Day
Drink glass Of real hot water
before breakfast to wash
out poIsons.

Life is not merely to live, but to
live well, eat well, digest well. work
well, sleep well, look well. What a
glorious condition to attain, and yet
how very easy it is if one will only
adopt the morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to fell
dull and heavy when they arise, split
ting headache. stuffy from a cold,
foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom-
ach, can, instead, feel as fresh as a
daisy by opening the sluices of the
system each morning and flushing
out the whole of the internal poison
Gus stagnant matter.
Everyone. whether ailing. sick or
well. should. each morning, before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of lime
stone phosphate in it to wash from
the stomach, liver, kidneys and bow
els the previous days indigestible
waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins.
The action of hot water and lime
stone phosphate on an empty stom-
ach is wonderfully invigorating. 1t
cleans out all the sour lamentations,
gases, waste and acidity and gives
one a splendid appetite for break
fast.
The millions of people who are
bothered with constipation, bilious
spells, stomach trouble. rheumatism;
others who have sallow skins, blood
disorders and sickly compilations are
urged to get quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate from the drug store
which will cost very little, but is
sufficient to make anyone pro-
nounced crank on the subject of in
ternal sanitation.-Adv.

PATRIOTIC RALLY.
Large Crowd Assemblies To Help
Observe The National
Holiday.

The patriotic rally held jointly by
the Epworth League and the Aid
Society on the evening of July 4th,
in Rising Sun, was very successful
affair. The crowd in attendance was
a large one, and the community
singing proved an attractive feature,
all hands joining in the National
songs and helping to make the well
kin ring with their voices. In ad-
dftion to the choruses there were
quartets and solos. The music was
led by piano, cornet and two violins.
Rev. H. E. Reed acted as chair
man, announcing the program and
introducing the orator of the oc-
casion, Rev. Harvey w. Ewing, D.
D., of Morgantown, w. Va, who de-
livered an address, not of the spread
eagle variety, but one brim full of
patriotism and thoughtful presenta-
tion of the responsibilities thrust
upon us by our forced entrance into
the great world war now raging in
Europe.
After conclusion of the address
the band further enlivened the oc-
casion with music, while the various
refreshment and other booths were
completely depleted of their wares
by liberal patronage of the large
assemblage. The gross receipts
were $163.15, and both societies
realized a neat net sum as a result
of their efforts to provide safe and
sane celebration of our glorious
Natal Day.

NEW LIGHT LAW.
All Vehicles On Public Highways
Must Display Light.

Maryland's new light law affect
ing all vehicles, other than motor
vehicles, became operative on July 1.
The act, known as Chapter SO OF
the Acts of 1918, is designed to COM
pei all horse-drawn vehicles to dis
play lights at night, so as to
diminish what has been a source OF
many accidents resulting in serious
injuries and deaths.
Under the provisions of Chapter
So, all vehicles in use or at rest Oh
the public highways of the State or
of any city, county, town or village
during the period of from one-halI
hour after sunset to one hour be-
fore sunrise, shall display not less
than one bright light so placed as
to be clearly visible both from the
front and rear for a distance OF two
hundred feet. 1t is also provided
that vehicles may display, at the
option of the owner of user, one
white light visible from the front
and one red light visible from the
rear for the same distance of two
hundred feet.
Nothing in the new law applies TO
motor vehicles, which are governed
by the provisions contained in the
general motor vehicle law.
Chapter 53 is statewide in its
scope, and it's enforcement is in the
hands of the municipal and county
police authorities, as well as the
state officials.
The penalties for violating the
law apply to all those who cause or
knowingly permit violation. The
minimum fine is $500 and the
maximum $1,000.
1t is hoped that the officers Of the
law in every part of the State will
cooperate in an effort to obtain
rigid enforcement of the light law
since it's proper observance will do
much toward making the roads safer
for all vehicles.
