DEATHS HARVEST.
Well Known Residents And Others
Who Have Passed Away.
De LaShmutt.

John M. De Lashmutt, son of the late
Judge Elias L. and Eliza De Lash
mutt, died at his home near Mt. Airy
Friday morning at o'clock of heart
failure in the seventy-third year OF
his age. In early manhood Mr.. De
Lashmutt left his home, in Frederick
Md, and located in the South. At the
outbreak of the Civil War he enlisted
with the Sixth Texas Cavalry and saw
active service throughout the conflict
He was engaged in all the hard-fought
battles in which the Southwestern
army participated and was twice
wounded. In 1896, having returned
to his native state, Mr.. De Lashmutt
located in Howard county. Since that
time he had been prominently identi-
fed with the business interests of
Howard and Carroll counties. Mr..
Delashmutt was a director of the Pa
tapsco National Bank Of Ellicott City
since it's organization, in 1886, and
also of the Woodbine National Bank,
of Woodbine, Md, having been instru-
mental in the organization of the lat
ter institution in 1907.
Mr.. De Lashmntt was the senior
member of the well-known firm of ].
M. DeLashmutt & Son, of Woodbine,
Md, who are large shippers of grain.
He was also a member of the Balti-
more Chamber of Commerce. Fifty
years ago, when 30 years Of age, he
joined the Columbia Lodge of Masons,
of Frederick, Md, and was member
of the Alexander Young Camp, of
Confederate Veterans, of the same city.
Mr.. De Lashmutt was Democrat and,
though never an officeholder, he took
a keen interest in state and national
affairs. He is survived by a widow,
who was Miss Mary Dorsey, daughter
of the late Walter and Julia Ann Dor
sey, of Howard county, and six child
rem. They are Mrs. Annie De Lashmutt
Wallace, Misses Nelley Dorsey and
Mildred Lee De Lashmutt, of Mount
Airy; Mrs. Howard Warfield, of Cock
eysville, Md, and John M. De Lash
mutt, Jr., of Mount Airy, Md. Two

lex, and Mrs. James Pearre, Of Cow
ems, Md and two brothers CDR. Van

Stamping Falls Flat.

The fact of the matter is that Mr..
Taft's stumping experiment has fallen
fiat; he has produced absolutely no
enthusiasm among the voters, and he
he has said or done nothing which will
improve his chances. Republicans are
unable to conceal their feelings of dis
appointment over the poor showing
which their candidate has made. Mr..
Taft's progress thus far, and the man
ner in which he has been received is
complete yindication of those ,Repub-
Iican leaders who from the first OPP
posed the plan of having him take to
the rear platform. They advocated a
front porch campaign wherein the can
didate should be kept in the back
ground and others allowed to make
his canvass upon Roosevelt's record.
The advocates of a stumping cam
paign prevailed, however, and now
they are sorry that it was ever begun.
The contrast between the Demo-
cratic simplicity with which Mr..
Bryan has travelled and the elegance
of the Taft accommodations on rail,
is as marked as the contrast between
the size and enthusiasm of the audi
ences which have greeted the Demo-
cratic candidate, and those which Mr..
Taft has addressed. While one great
New York newspaper which is sup
porting Mr.. Taft and which maintains
a press association service has re-
fused to have a correspondence with
Mr.. Bryan, ample accommodations are
afforded aboard the Taft special for
the special correspondents Of all the
large papers. In addition for the first
time in the history of any campaign,
Mr.. Taft is carrying with him three
press agents, paid by the national
committee for the purpose of influence
ing public opinion.

EASTER PAYMENT!
WISE ONES BUY I'll EARLY AND
 GET THE PICK OF THE SEA-
 SONS BEST. .

It is the tritest sort of advice to give the seasoned shopper, to suggest the buying of Easter wears early; for that is the usual thing for the person who knows how to buy to the best advan- tage. But man, poor man, too often waits to buy his Easter raiment until the Easter eggs are colored and wait ing for the Rabbit Delivery to call. Let man take a leaf from woman's experi- ence, this season, and buy his outf t early now, when all lines are com plete and selections are the best the season will see. Meigs & Go. sound this sound advice to men, and offer their splendid stocks of spring clothes as proof that now is the accepted time to buy. And what applies to clothes applies with equal force to other Eas- ter wearables- to hats. to shoes, to the fxings which play ..so large part in the color scheme of mans get-up this spring. Meigs & Co. extend a cordial invitation to all men and young men to view their great exhibit of correct clothes and outfttiDgs this week. Not again this season will they be able to present such complete range of styles.

CAUSE AND EFFECT
qood Digestion Follows Right Food

Indigestion and the discom-
forts OF mind and body are certain to
follow continued use OF improper food
Those who are still young and robust
are likely TO overlook the fact that. as
d~ropping water will wear a stone away
at last, so vii the use OF heavy. greasy,
rich food. finally cause loss OF appetite
and indigestion.
Fortunately many are ~thoughtfur enough
70 study themselves and note the prin-
ciple OF Cause and Effect in their daily
food. A n. Y. young woman writes her
experience thus:
Sometime ago I had a lot OF trouble
from indigestion. caused by too rich food.
I got so 1 was unable to digest scarcely
anything, and medicine seemed useless.
a friend advised me TO try Grape
Nuts food. praising 1t highly. and as a
last resort. 1 tried IT, I am thankful to
say that Grape-Nuts not only relieved
me OF my trouble, but built me up and
strengthened my digestive organs so that
I can now eat anything 1 desire. But 1
