Prima Donnais Home,

There are few more romantic homes

Madame Calve, the famous Operatlc
singer, spends the summer months. 1t
Is an old castle standing high among
the mountains in the south OF France
II has become part Of the rock upon
which 1t is built, rising In stupendOus

views across the valleys. 1t had al
ways been Madame Calves ambition to
own the chateau, which she had known
from earliest childhood. When she
bought 1t she invited her father and
mother to u grand dinner. without d.
vulging the secret. A large covered

When he lifted the cover huge key
rested on the dish. 1t unlocked the
main door. and told her parents that
Madame Calve owned the old place.

Promotion OF "Pure English"

In England, as In the United States,
the subject of preserving the purity OF
the English language from the effects
OF slang, loss of grammatical disti'i"-
lions, etc, has recently attracted much
attention. One OF the results Of the
movement in England Is the formation
of the Society for Pure English. The
society was founded In 1913, but was
compelled by the war to postpone Its
activities. The reason for the exist
ence of the society Is given as "the
duty of English-speaking peoples to
make their Language adequate and
efficient. and worthy of its increasing
and worldwide use. Its purpose Is
to further the best interest of the
language by the PRONUNCIATION Of sound
knowledge" 1t is asserted that the
Society for Pure English does not in
tend to dogmatize but to open an in
formal democratic court In which all
questions may be argued on full In

NEW ROAD BADLY NEEDED

1t is under It, ,cl hat 'he County
Commissioners have included in next
years lateral road system to be buht
the road leading from Rocky Ridge to
Graceham. This is good news for
we know of no other piece-of road in
the county where it is more urgently
needed. Rocky Ridge and vicinity
lies entirely isolated so far as good
roads are concerned, and the building
of this link will be great boon to
them. Thurmont is directly interest
ed in this road, for this community is
served more largely by our town than
by any other. Our doctors, ministers,
undertakers, all are servers of this
neighborhood. Then, too, Thurmont
is what might be termed county
seat to the community which this
road would serve. All the banking,
or at least the major portion, and
much buying from the merchants is
done at Thurmont. 1t is too bad that
there is no County Commissioner
nearer to US than Buckeystown. In
fact all the Commissioners are remote
from this portion of the county-two
in Middletown Valley, one near Buck
eystown, one at New Market and one
at Linganore. But even with this
handicap in not having a "friend at
the bar" to plead our cause, yet we
feel that we will receive proper con-
sderation at their hands. The prin-
cipal thing is not to let them forget
this road when the matter is finally to
be taken up with the State Roads
Commission, who is the court of final
decision.

PROPER CARE Of THE DOG
Household Pet, Particularly II 1t 10
Kept Indoors, Must Be Given
Regular Attention.

To keep dog healthy be sure to
attend regularly to its toilet.
Many owners wash their dogs in
the summer. but neglect to do SO
In the winter. This is mistake.
While in the summer months the
dog will appreciate wash once a
week, during the winter once monthly
should be the order, says an exchange.
The length of time between each
wash will depend upon the life the
dog leads and the amount OF grooming
II receives. All animals should he
regularly brushed down. Indoor dogs
call for a more frequent toilet than
outdoor ones; the former may he
washed once a month and the latter
every five or six weeks. The indoor
dog, too. should he gro"Ined more
frequently than the outdoor one.
Washing tends to soften the hairs. so
that wre-haired dogs intended for ex-
hibition are constantly groomed
rather than frequently washed
To wash dog successfully first
see that the soap Is rubbed we'll In
and then that it Is propely rinsed
out. Guard against chills after the
hath. and never let the dog retire
to it's kennel until the coat Is thor
oughly dry. If the weather is In
clement wash and dry the dog In
front of the fire, but not too near.
In drying use several towels and finish

dries slowly wrap the dog in thick
blanket and leave the animal near

CHRISTMAS SEALS

The sale of tuberculosis Christmas
Seals, Conducted each year by the
Maryland tuberculosis Association
and it's county agencies, commenced
on December first; it will end January
first. Between those dates, it is hoped
to collect the $4,000 necessary to
carry on this tuberculosis work for
another twelve months.
This is the fourteenth year that the
Association has presented its bright
Seals to the public as a means where
by it may secure holiday packages and
letters, and, at the same time, assist
in fighting the most devastating
scourge that afflicts mankind.
With the money received from the
sale of seals and health bonds, the as
sociation supports all of the branches
of its work: the Preveftorium for
children, at Claiborne, the Modern
Health Crusade in the schools, and
othe educational work. 1t also sup
ports in part, the visiting nurses and
the medical consultant service in the
country districts.
Each year shows decided decrease
in the number of cases of tuberculosis
in the State. Thus in 1918 there were
1884 deaths from consumption in
Maryland, while in 1920 there were
2,14S, decrease of 1856 in two years.
Some day if this percentage of de-
crease is maintained, the disease will
probably be entirely eliminated; at
any rate,it is now "on the run" and
needs, perhaps, only persistent and
concentrated effort to put it to rout
as health problem.
The counties, it is declared, should
be particularly interested in the Seal
Sale, since rs per cent of all the funds
raised in any one of them goes to
fight the disease within its borders.

OWNS AND RUNS COAL MINE
Girl Has Been Successful In Business
In Which Few Of Her Sex Have
Been Engaged.

II wonder when We'll ever get our
coal" the complaint of many house
wives for II few seasons past, will not
be voiced by Miss Ricka OFT. twenty
one years old, who industrlously mines
coal daily In little wagon mine"
on her fathers farm In the hills OF
Mount Oliver. Pa. near Pittsburgh.
Rickn Is her own boss-mner, oper-
utor. manager, distributor. Day after
day she cheerfully sings as she wheels
her "black diamonds" from the mine.
Along about three years ago, when all
the mines of western Pennsylvania
were working to their fullest capacity.
to keep al unending stream Of coa'
flowing to the mills where weapons
and munitions were being turned out,
Ricka was imbued with the desire to
do her share toward the winning of
the great conflict. She suggested to
her father, Gregor OFT, a steel worker,
that they open mine. Ricka's father
scorned the idea of giving up u per-
fectly good job In the steel mills for
the uncertainty of small coal mine.
II will mine the coal and sell It,"
said Ricka. He laughed at the idea Of
a girl mining coal and driving truck.
She gave her father no rest until he
agreed to start mine for her, and
she has since proved more than a
match for the other miners Of the cOun-
try.
Last year Miss OFT mined 1900 bush
els of coal and distributed II to her
customers. s.-Dearborn Independent.

Board yesterday, recommending that

The patrons of the school will be
called upon to support bill in the

nent addition to the present building.
