years before the obsolete forms of
heating houses will be something of

ideas realize that they can install

at very little more cost than what it
takes to heat single room. The
Empire is the embodiment of the
best features that obtain in other
good furnaces. This method has
practically revolutionized the heating
problem, and Empire owners are en-
thusiastic over the results obtained
through the use of these wonderful
heating devices.
In connection with the staple lines

JOSEPH T. MATTHIAS
Granite and Mar BILE

The placing of a memorial hallowing
the last resting place of those who
have gone before us is truly a beauti-
full custom, signifying as it does, the
love and respect we hold for the de-
parted, made sacred by their entrance
into a higher life. 1t is BETTING that
memorial be raised that will for
ever mark the Spot where temporal
life ended and spiritual life began !;
that it will indicate now, and for
years to come-long after we have
gone to join them-the place where
their remains lie, and to warn others
in life to honor and respect the spot.
The unmarked graves are oft times
desecrated for the lack of a stone. or
marker of some kind, and their sac
redness unobserved, and identity lost.
Mr.. Joseph L. Matthias, whose
monument works are located on East
Main street, opposite Court street
carries one of the largest stocks of
monuments, tombstones and markers
IN TINS section of the country, and his
faculties are such as to supply the
needs of the people of Carroll county
and contiguous territory with any
thing desired in his line at the most
reasonable prices. Any design, style
or specimen can be SUPPLIED by Mr..
Matthias. His association with the
Wholesale dealers and quarries is such
as to enable him to make the closest
prices, which means a big saving to
customers. In addition to Mr.. Ma
thlas' long experience in the business.
he has associated with him artistic
designers and originators who are in
position to give clients anything de-
sired in the line Of monuments or
headstones. They are skilled in
creating new and original designs for
those who want something a little
different.
The most improved methods are
employed, the latest pneumatic de-
vices being used.
Inspecting the large and handsome
stock will place you under no obliga-
lions to buy, unless you are thorough
~ satisfied and ready to place your
order. Hundreds of jobs have been
sold to citizens of the community who
can best testimony to the efficient SER
vice, straightforward methods and
courteous treatment accorded by Mr..
Matthias. His work is not confined to
Westminster and Carroll county
alone, but several handsome jobs have
been sold to Baltimore and Frederick
citizens and erected in the cemeteries
of those cities. He has but recently
been awarded contracts for furnish
ing several of the largest monuments
to be seen in this portion Of the
State.
His stock was never larger than
at present. there being over go de-
signs in the yard from which selec.

An enterprise of this character is
an asset to the town and community
and this one should claim the atten
ton and receive the patronage Of al
who are contemplating the erection q

parted friends, or loved ones.

and cream daily. The highest market
price is paid for deliveries of cream
and milk to the plant in this city, or
to any of the sub-Stations. Stations
are maintained ut Uniontown and
Frizellburg, besides routes for de-
Mveries reaching Westminster from
al sides OF the town.
MIR. KoOntz has been engaged in
the creamery business here for the
past IA years, and those who have
sold their raw products to him are
familiar with his accommodating
business methods and fairness in the
operation of his plant. Most of the
cream is sold in the cities, while the
milk is ready taken up, in the
main, by local citizens.
I'm addition to operating this
modern creamery, Mr. Koontz is also
engaged in the manufacture Of ice,
maintaining cold storage rooms for
the preservation Of all perishable pro-
ducts handled by the house.
This is an enterprise that is worthy
of the most hearty support on the
part of Westminster citizens, and it
also opens up an avenue of demand
for all milk that local producers have
distributed annually over this section
through the operation of this cream
cry. Besides buying all the milk that
producers have for sale, Mr.. Koontz
owns farm near the city which is
stocked with fine herd of cattle, and
his COWS contribute largely to supply
ing milk to patrons.
Mr.. Koontz Is the honored mayor
Of Westminster, now serving his sec
ond term in office. He was elected
about a year ago to succeed himself
as evidence or the appreciation in
which he is held by the citizens Of
Westminster. He, also served years
prior to his election as mayor as a
member Of the City Council. He is a
progressive, tenterprising citizen who
holds the highest regard among the
people of the town.

There's a story in the Acts of the

regarded as a great mar in the
Bible, but who nevertheless stood out

may be used nightly of God in pro-
claiming his message.
They don't iced to be ordained to
go u and preach. The way is open
to any of them.
But-before they attempt it, they
might better ask themselves whether,
like Philip, they are willing to do the
little things in religious work, and
whether they'll do them gracefully.
Then there's another thing about
such service-one must be able to
