Road Work Resumed.

Now that fairly good weather may be
expected, work on the State Road thru
this place has been resumed by Mr.. l..
R. Waesche, the conta rotor. 1t is to be
hoped that this piece of road can be COM
peted at an early date. The question of
securing labor and material may prolong
the work. We hope not.
Work is being done on the Thurmont-
Deerfeld road also. The stone crusher
has been moved and will soon be ready
for use. This work will be pushed as
rapidly as possible and the road probably
completed this summer.

A Bilious Attack.

When you have a bilious attack your
liver fails to perform its functions. You
become constipated. The food you eat
ferments in your stomach instead of d.
gesting. This infiames the stomach and
causes nausea. vomiting and terrible
headache. Take Chamberlain Tablets.
They will tone up your liver, clean out
your stomach and you will soon be as
well as ever. They only cost quarter.
