Chronic Consultation,

Perhaps you have never thought of it.
but this disorder Is due to lack of moist
ure in the residual matter of the food.
If you will drink an abundance of water
eat raw fruits and take lots of outdoor
exercise, you may be able eventually to
overcome it entirely. In the mean time
use the most mild and gentle laxatives.
Strong and harsh cathartics take too
much water out of the system and make
a bad matter worse. Chamberlain s
Tablets are easy and pleasant to take.
and most agreeable in effect. GIVE them
a trial.

Seven Receive Diplomas.
Inspiring Exercises Mark
Closing Year For Glass 1919.

The 18th Annual Commenceme ex-
ercises of the Thurmont High School
was held Thursday evening last in Town
Hall. For this as we'll as Class D ay ex-
ercises, the Hall was beautifully decor
ated, the class colors, black and gold
being much in evidence.
One of the facts brought out during
the exercises was that the class of 1919
began its career with q members, IA
girls and Is boys. The past two years
and during the war, one by one the num-
Der grew less, many of the class giving
up their studies to take up work in NUM-
ton plants and elsewhere, until but
seven remained.
The address to the graduates was made
by Rev. M. l.. Firor of Sabillasville.
Democracy as applied to the lives OF men
and nations from a Christian viewpoint
was his theme, and the large audience
listened to a magnificent appeal for love
to God and our fellowmen.
DIR. E. C. Kefauver, president of the
District Board of Trustees, in the alb
sence of Superintendent Palmer, had the
honor of distributing the diplomas.
A special feature of commencement
week was the music rendered by the
Glee Club. Strange as it may seem,
the club is composed entirely of young
ladies. The various numbers rendered
by the Club were all very pretty and in
cluded numbers of noted composers
Under the direction of Miss Wrightson
and Miss Firor. the selections were rem
dered in very beautiful and effective
manner. kToo much credit cannot be
given these ladies for this particular work
in the school.
Another feature was the gowns worn
by the young ladies. Each made their
own, and the work thereon has received
highest praises from those capable of
passing judgment. Under the guiding
hand of Miss Engle these young ladies'
were taught the art of sewing and pro-
ducing such work for themselves.
The class was small. but the commence
ment exercises throughout, according to
our judgment, ranked bit higher than
those in past years.

LABOR AND THE RAILROADS.

The Topeka Industrial council has
indicated that it favors q continuation
of government operation of railroads.
This attitude seems to point to the as
cendancy of the railroad employees
unions and their friends in that body.
For. remembering what the general
public and business interests have suf-
fered from government operation of
the transportation system 1t is incon-
ceivable that anybody. uninfluenced by
persopal interest could wish to see it
continued.
There is far too much of placing
personal interest before the public
welfare in this country and it is not
confined to the members of the labor
unions
The head of one of the railroad
brotherhoodss bcfore the senate COM
mittee considering the railroad prob

government the employees would ex-
pect to exercise the privilege of strik-
ing to enforce their demands. He very
positively declared that the right to
strike-quit in a body-would never
be restricted.
He submitted his own proposal for
the permanent disposition of the rail-
roads. 1t was that the government
should buy them. and turn them over
to the railroad brotherhoods TO run
on a fifty-fifty division of the profits.
after the brotherhoods had first re-
ceived their pay.
There seems to be no reason why
this arrangement. together with the
strike privilege, should not be salts

there not be some stipulation under
which other people could take turns
at being railroad employees? Or would
the privilege of being a railroad en-

OUTLOOK FOR LOWER PRICES.

Production of everything needful to
supply human wants has been, so
greatly stimulated since 1914 that with
the return of 20, 100000 men to their
pre-war activities supplies of the nee
essaries of life soon must overtake
and pass the demand. When this con-
dillon shall have arrived cost Of liv-
ing will OF necessity decline.
Another circumstance which soon
will make for lower prices is the re-
turn of shipping from war to peace
service. Europe is supplying her
needs from this country at present
because ours is the nearest market
and she Is paying our prices. Soon
she will be importing meat and grain
from South America and Australia
and harvesting a crop of her own.
When our supply of food has been
relieved from European demand it
living costs in the United States will
become lower. Even now, despite the
enormous European demand, food
storage warehouses in this country
are filling up. Soon they will hold
no more and then the dealers must
either unload or cease to buy. Either
course is certain to cause a fall in
prices.
But Notwithstanding the unsatisfac-
tory food situation the country is pros
pering as it never did before. Trade
and industry continue increasingly
active and confidence in the mainte-
nance of this activity and in the sta
bility of current prices thruout this
year has been generally strength
ened. The volume of payments as
shown by the reports of the Federal
reserve system has exceeded all
records.
The prominent factor in the situa-
ton is the great retail distribution
of goods OF common consumption. The
double assurance of record crops and
high prices has created an Astounding
prosperity thruout the agricultural
sections, which reacts upon all indus
try Along with the favorable crop
conditions there is a feeling of relief
and relaxation from the anxieties and
restraints of wartime. The war is
won, the boys are arriving home, the
last loan drive" is over. prices of
products are high, land values are ris-
ing. and a feeling of elation and conf
dence prevails. AS a result the de-
mand for dry goods clothing, shoes,
house furnishings, jewelry. silver
ware, musical instruments, automo-
biles and like commodities is such as
to keep dealers busy repfenishing
stocks. and more concerned about de-
liveries than prices.

And there isn't a husband and wite

times and seasons when they got so
tired OF seeing the same faces across
the breakfast table, and listening to
the same line of conversation that
they are afraid to trust themselves
with the carving knife for fear they
will commit murder on the partners of
their bosom.
And 1t isn't because they've made
the wrong choice Of life partners.
They would feel that way about any
other man or woman in the world
that they were tied to so they couldn't
get away, even for a breathing space.
It's purely case of too much wife or
husband, and no reflection on matri-
mony as an institution.
Ihis is proven by the fact that di-
Vorced people nearly always marry

as to say because we are hungry three
times a day we want to perpetuallv

''Phis idiotic theory that a husband

bane of society. If you invite wife to
a party she must drag husband along
altho he won't fit in and will be bored
to death. II you invite husband TO

she hates it, and wet blankets the oc-

and how a woman brightens up and

husband is not among those also pres
