This good season gives US the prom
Use Of, not only good crops. but also
Of good gardens. whether we have
water for ;rriKating or not.
As all food products are still very
high. and likely to be SO for some
time to come. it will be profitable for
every home to have garden this
year.
But IN order to get the most profit
out Of our gardens we want to plan
for taking care Of all surplus pro-
duets. Whether you want to sell all
your surplus or keep il all for home
use we believe that you would do well
TO study the best methods of keeping

lot Of garden products then let all
they do not use fresh go to waste we
do not doubt their remark that "it
does not pay to raise a garden"
The two most common methods Of
saving food are canning and drying.
Canning Is the method applicable TO
the largest number Of orchard and
garden products, and the method !
which keeps them the most nearly

Trolley Co. Would Light City.

Hagerstown, Md-The Hagerstown
and Frederick Electric Railway Com
pany has made proposition to the Mayor
and council of Hagerstown to furnish
electric current to light the city and for
private use by the citizens at rate
which the company claims will save the
city $4,000 the first year and more in
the following years.
The company agrees, in case the city
enters into contract, to retire as COM
petitors of the Municipal Electric Plant
in the lighting business in Hagerstown,
thus eliminating wasteful competition
and duplication"
The company will not ask the city to
abandon or dismantle the Municipal
Electric Plant and is willing to enter
into five-year contract, or one of long
er duration, upon conditions as stated,
or for shorter period without with
drawing from the lighting business. The
company suggests that the city appoint
an engineer to make investigation of it's
proposition and claims it can manufac-
ture current cheaper than the city be-
cause of the diversity in customers loads
and the fact that the company, besides
having five steam power plants, has also
four water power stations and an ex-
tensive network of transmission lines.

To Use $4,000 Trucks.

''In statistics compiled for the 1919
truck production in America the total
estimated to be manufactured is $50, 900
and of this total the volume will be for
the one ton truck" says G. D. Wilcox,
director of sales and advertising for the
Commerce Motor Car Company of De-
troit. "The country will absorb over
$4,000 one ton trucks in 1919, or 90 per
cent of the estimated production.
1.-THE next largest number to be pro-
duced will be of the two-ton capacity, of
which close to $4,000 will be manufac-
tured or Is per cent of the estimated
total. The figures are interesting. TAX
ing the various capacity ranges we find
that $500 trucks of half ton capacity
are to be built; 30,040 of three-quarter
ton; 43, 300 of II ton; 10, $50 of % ton; 6, l5t
of ton; 10, 2lO of 81 ton; l, $50 of a ton;
49, 1892 of ton; 1000 of 81 ton; 1,O70 OF
ton and $50 of ton.
Gin 1912 the truck production was es.
timated at $4,000 commercial vehicles
and "a, 701 were manufactured; in 1913
there were manufactured 59,672; in 1917
AZ, DAB; in 1915 65, 228; in 1916 1O1, O61; ii
1917 1913, 157; in 1918 1880 and in 191.
the peak will touch $4,000.

To Improve Streets.

Steps have been taken by citizens of
Thurmont to secure contributions from
property owners for the purpose of oil
ing and chipping Main and Carroll streets
and Altamont Avenue. Mr.. D. R. Rou-
ger who has been soliciting reports en-
enlargement from almost every owner
of property on these streets. The town
Commissioners this week are advertis-

BY. oiling and chipping the streets at

be prohibtive, and that the work will
soon be started.

Daylight Saving Killed.
Both Houses Adopt Repeal
Measure By Overwhelming
Majorities.

Both the House and Senate adopted by
overwhelming majorities measures fol
the repeal of the Daylight Saving law.
The House by vote of 233 to bypass
ed the Esch bill calling for the repeal te
become effective October 26, 1919. The
Senate, on motion of Senator La Toilette
of Wisconsin, and by vote of Sc to 6,
adopted "rider" to the Agricultural
Appropriation bill fixing the repeal fol
the same date.
The lineup of the Marylanders on the
proposition was as follows:
In the Senate-For repeal, Senator
Joseph l. France, Republican, Senator
John Walter Smith, Democrat, was alb
sent.
In the House-For repeal, Represent
atives Andrews and Zihlman, Republican 8
and Benson Democrat. Against repeal
Representative Coady, Democrat. Alb
sent, Representatives Linthicum, Demo-
crat, and Mudd Republican.
Favoring repeal, Senator John Sharp
Williams, of Mississippi, declared that
after unsurping all the powers of the
States. Congress by adoption of the Day
light Saving law chad attempted to I'M
surp the powers of God"
Representative Coady, who fought the
Repeal bill vigorously in the Interstate
and Foreign Commerce Committee, was
the only member of the Maryland dele
cation who spoke on the bill. Declaring
that the purpose of the measure was to
suit the convenience rather than the
needs of the farmer. Representative
Coady showed that not one of the farm
ers appearing before the committee in
behalf of the repeal was able to show
that he had lost dollar through the
operation of the Daylight Saving law
On the contrary. he cited the fact that
the farmers were making more money
than ever before, and that far from be-
ing handicapped by the daylight saving
scheme, they have produced bumper
crops during the time that the law has
been in effect.

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
bad matter worse. Chamberlain 8
Tablets are easy and pleasant to take.
and most agreeable in effect. GIVE them
trial.

The Reason.

The young girl was shown through the
locomotive works of big railway COM
pany in London. "What is that thing?"
she asked, pointing with her parasol.
THAT" replied the manager, ''is an en-
CINE boiler" She was an up-to-date
young lady, and at once became deeply
interested. "And why do they boil en-
gines?" she inquired again. ''To make
the engine TENDER" politely replied the
resourceful guide.

The Doctor Away From Home When
Most Needed.

People are often very much disappoint-
ed to find that their family physician is
away from home when they most need
his services. Diseases like pain in the
stomach and bowels, collie and diarrhoea
require prompt treatment, and have in
many instances proven fatal before medi-
cine could be procured or physician
summoned. The right way is to keep
at hand bottle of Chamberlain's Collie
and Diarrahoea Remedy. No physician
can prescribe better medicine for these
diseases. By having it in the house you
escape much pain and suffering and al
risk. Buy it now; it may save life.
