GayIy Arrayed.

Baltimore, which has so often been the
scene of celebrations and festivities, large
and small, and whose streets have been
repeatedly adorned in the gayest bunting
and the most brilliant lights, will be ar
rayed during Old Home Week, October
18th to 10Th, in a garb of magnificent
splendor which has never before been
equaled. The city itself will spend $685.
600 upon Examinations alone. Hundreds
of business houses will spend thousands
more in order to light up the front Of
their mammoth establishments, while I'M
told numbers of private persons will adorn
their residences.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(FRoM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. J

WASHINGTON, D. c., SEPT. 7TH.
There is q renewal of the complaints
and criticism from army officers about
the difficulty of recruiting and keep
ing the regiments of the service up to
the legal strength. This makes rather
interesting reading when compared
with the discussions just after the
Spanish war when there was the
proposition before Congress to raise
the strength of the army on peace
footing to 100000 men. 1t was said
then that the days of the republic
were numbered and that we were de-
generating into military despotism.
The compromise was made however
with many misgivings on 10000.
Since then it has been found that it
is almost impossible with the present
organization of society in the United
States to keep the army up to the
authorized strength. So much for
the military dictatorship. We do not
seem to have the material for a mill
tary dictator to work on.
One battalion of the 18th cavalry
has just finished a practice march
from Fort Riley, Kansas, to Fort
Sheridan, Illinois. This was a long
march and was intended to show what
the soldiers could do and what were
the defects of the organization if they
were called on in actual war. The
result was not pleasing. The officers
split up into factional fights before
the march was over, and the enlisted
men had nothing but kicks coming.
They complained that they were fined
without cause and that with the small
pay coming to them, they would have
to work for about five months to pay
off the fines before they would get any
salary again.
The enlisted men are not the only
ones who need looking after either,
for the President will have the naval

The Kiss.

A kiss is peculiar proposition of no
use to one, yet absolutely bliss to two.
The small boy gets it for nothing, the
young man has to steal it and the old
man has to buy it. The baby's right, the
lovers privilege, the hypocrite's mask.
To young girl, faith; to married wom-
an, hope; and to an old maid charity.
The bliss Of the kiss however, is frequent
ly lessened, or lost entirely on account OF
offensive breath, of one or both of the
participants caused by indigestion or dys-
pepsia. There is no occasion for this con-
dition though for the reason that Rydale's
Stomach Tablets will soon correct the
stomach trouble and do away with the
bad breath. They 1.-THE Stomach Tablets
not the kiss] are guaranteed by DR..
james K. Waters. Directions: Take two
boxes Rydale's Stomach Tablets and fol-
low up with the kiss as often as conven-
lent.

There are great many people who
have slight attacks of indigestion and
dyspepsia nearly all the time. Their food
may satisfy the appetite but it fails to
nourish the body simply because the
stomach is not in fit condition to do the
work it is supposed to do. 1t can't di-
gest the food you eat. The stomach
should be given help. You ought take
something that will do the work your
stomach can't do. Kodol for Indigestion
and Dyspepsia, combination of natural
digestants and vegetable acids, digests
the food itself and gives strength and
health to the stomach. Pleasant to take

Read, reflect, act! Considerable clean
ing up is being done in the U. B. ceme-
terry, the church doing much of it gratis
Much space is occupied by bodies who are
among the unknown" and with no per-
son to see after it, hence the church is
at great expense in this charitable work,
and once more earnestly appeals to ground
owners and others to see that the grounds
are in creditahle condition, and to help
labor or means to make general and
necessary cleaning up to the credit OF
the community. Any and all aid given
in this much needed and humane work Of
thus kindly honoring the dust of the dear
departed will be greatly appreciated.

A Visitor After Many Years Absence.

1t was our pleasure last week to meet
Miss Ellen M. Snyder, who is visiting
Mr.. NJ. J. Albaugh, she being great
aunt of Mrs. Albaugh. Miss Snyder has
been to Thurmont, then Mechanicstown,
but once since 1857, when her father lv-
ed at Graceham, Md, owning at that
time the farm now occupied and owned
by Theodore Stoner
When asked if old Mechanicstown had
improved, she replied, 81 would never
have known it was Me same place, eX-
ccpt for the few old landmarks saw and
recognized. When l left the community
in 1857 the Lutheran and Methodist
churches had but recently been built and
the Catholic church was in course Of con-
struction. The U. b. church was here.
Continuing she said, ''thc Henry Rouzcr
property and the old lanyard was the last
building on f. Main street with the ex-
ception, perhaps, of the house now owned
and occupied by Mr.. Elmer Black, no
other houses being on the street from the
square except The stone tavern, the
Freeze house now occupied by Harry c.
Cover, M. J. Albaugh's house, the An
drew Seton property now owned by D.
w. Zentz, the Favorite house where Miss
Ella Martin has built, the Keefer house
where Mr.. Wisotzkey now lives, and the
Bussard home now occupied by Dan'l R.
Rouzer."
She then began recalling the few old
places on w. Main street, such as the
DR.. White house now occupied by DR.. E.
C. Kefauver, Geo. Johnson's store where
the Thurmont National Bank now stands,
the Leonard Picking home owned now by
Mrs. Grimes, and so on, she named the
different old and scattered landmarks,
showing her remarkable memory for enc
of her age. She is one of the NEST de-
lightful conversationalists we have had
the pleasure of meeting for many years;
cultured and refined and possessing nat
ural gifts now becoming rare indeed.
Miss Snyder comes from Revolutionary
stock, her father, Nicholas Snyder, who
born in Chambersburg, Pa, was a cap
tain of a volunteer company participating
in the battle of North Point, in defense
of Baltimore in 1912. He was, through
the influence of Gov. Frank Thomas ap-
pointed by Andrew Jackson to the posi-
ton of U. S. Marshall, and re-apponted
by President Van Buren,. He was ap-
pointed Judge of the Orphans Court for
Frederick county, and also held the posi-
ton of Magistrate while residing in Tan
eytown, which was then in Frederick
county. His picture is now among the
Marshalls in the Court House in Balti-
more.
Miss Snyder's brotherinlaw, Geo. w.
Sharpe, was an early Editor of the Re-
publican Citizen (The Citizen) published
in Frederick. She remembers well
large parade which she saw in Frederick
on the occasion of President Jackson
being there. Miss Snyder is now in her
Goth year, having been born February 3,
1878. She has lived with DR.. Geo. Mot
ter in Taneytown from 1890 to the time
of his death and then moved to Washing
ton, where see now resides.
We trust her present good health will
for many years and that she
may be afforded the pleasure of many
more visits to the scenes of her earlier
days in this vicinity. .

Occasional headaches, belching, bad

slight nervousness are SYMPTOMS of indi-
gestion which, when allowed to go un-
cared for, will develop into case of dys-

rid of. Don't neglect your stomach. At
the first indication of trouble take some

of the United States agricultural de-

here and Corpus Christi. They are
w. A Cook, H. n. Taylor and Howard

structive ability of certain birds and
are also classifying soil as to its
adaptability for different crops.
During the past month they have
made exhaustive researches in the
country surrounding Kerrville, and
will spend several months in South
west Texas.
FEllais-R9Tsl is OF great Importance to
the farmers of Texas. From the tests
of the experts the farmers learn what
birds are destroying their crops and
what birds are their friends. Many
varieties of the feathered tribe are Of
great value to the planters as they
prey upon destructive insects and do
a great amount of good. The commits

They are also making tests to dis

While the several mines enumerated

At the Armenia the big plant of

the word comes TO unwater there will
be speedy emptying of the openings.

carefully, one can see a'hopefui outlook
