Take Plenty of Time to Eat.

There is saying that rapid eating
is slow suicide" If you have formed
the habit of eating rapidly you are most
likely suffering from Indigestion or con-
stipation, which will result eventually in
serious illness unless corrected. Digest
ion begins in the mouth. Food should be
thoroughly masticated and insalivated.
Then when you have fullness of the
stomach or feel dull and stupid after eat
ing, take one of Chamberlain's Tablets.
Many severe cases of stomach trouble
and constipation have been cured by the
use Of these tablets. They are easy to
take and most agreeable in effect. For
sale by all dealers. Adv

Memorial Day Celebrated.
Large Crowd Join With Jason
Damuth Post &. A. r. in Decor
ating Graves of Comrades
And T,Ovad Ones.
And Loved Ones.

On Friday last the spirits of veteran
soldiers of Jason Damuth Post G. A. R.
and of the many persons who join with
them in the decorating of grave were
very much depressed owing to the heavy
rains that fell that day and during sew
eral days previous. On Friday night,
however, the rain and clouds passed and
Saturday morning opened with bright
sunshine which made each heart glad.
Visitors began arriving in Thurmont on
the early morning trains and each train
on the Western Maryland and Frederick
railroads brought an unusual number of
people here to participate in the exercises
Of the day. A number of special trolley
cars were necessary to bring the people
over the Frederick road.
Comrades of Jason Damuth Post went
to their Hall and marched to the Town
Hall and were there joined by about two
hundred children in charge of Misses
Grace Henshaw and Lima Michigan.
Led by the Creagerstown band, they
marched to Mt Carmel cemetery and
placed flowers on the graves of deceased
comrades and then marched by way of
Boundary avenue and Church alley to
East Main street. Here the Fraternal
organizations and the Yellow Springs
Band of Is pieces were waiting. After
these had passed through the open ranks
of the members of Good Samaritan Lodge
|. 0. o. F., Chancellor Lodge X. of P,
and Columbia Lodge Jr. o. U. A. M. and
the Yellow Springs Band, each organiza-
ton fell in line and marched to the Unit
ed Brethren cemetery. After decorating
the graves of comrades and friends the
regular service for Memorial day was
held on the cemetery by Jason Damuth
Post After this service all marched to
Town Hall where the program arranged
was observed.
Rev. B. f. Clarkson, Chaplain Depart
ment of Maryland G. A. R., delivered
the address on this occasion and held the
attention of his large audience for con-
siderable time. In fact, everybody in
the Hall was eager to hear more from
the lips of this aged veteran. After the
battle of Gettysburg Rev. Clarkson
marched through Mechanicstown, as we
were known then, to Catoctin and then
across the mountains down to Virginia.
The entire program was good and much
appreciated by those who were fortunate
to get in the Hall.
Each year Memorial Services in Thur
mont is attended by larger crowds of
people and last Saturday, in the opinion
of many, more people were in Thurmont
than on any former occasion.
The residents and merchants of Thur
mont decorated extensively, and the
streets were put in excellent condition
by the town officials and the rain on Fri
day kept dust from becoming annoying.

Bloomer Girls baseball team will play
the Frederick High School team at Fred

by holding the visitors tight on bases and
squeeze plays.

Interesting Baseball.
Thurmont Defeats Champion
High School Team of
Frederick.

On Saturday afternoon the baseball
season opened in Thurmont, game hav-
ing been arranged for by Manager Victor
Birely with the Frederick High School
team. The Thurmont team played but
one game, it being at Frederick and with
the High School team early in the sea-
son. Thurmont had had no practice at
that time and none up until the past
week, the grounds here being too wet to
play on.
The Frederick High School claims the
High School championship and have play
ed good ball during the season. Proba-
bly, thinking the local team was easy led
to the undoing of the visitors Saturday
afternoon. Eddie Creeger was in the
box and while he did not strike the first
trio out, they went out in order at first.
McHenry started the twirling for Fred
erick and in the first inning two hits and
a sacrifice were made and batsman hit
in the rib. When the inning ended two
runs had been made. Thurmont scored
no more until the fourth when one run
was made, E. Creeger landing for two
bases and scoring on hit by Damuth.
In the third the visitors marked up
one run and nothing was doing for them
until the seventh when one run was made
through Thurmont's error. Another run
in the eighth was all they were able to
push over the plate.
After Creeger had hit for two bases
and Damuth for single in the fourth,
and Roy Creeger and Root each getting
single in the fifth of McHenry, he was
relieved by Hammond who succeeded in
tightening up the game but it was too
late; the game came to Thurmont, the
score being to 3. The game was inter-
esting from beginning to end, and was
witnessed by the largest crowd ever on
the field.

By This Worthy Act.

The Twelfth State Legislature
in joint assembly, on January %,
at Cheyenne, reelected u. 8. Sem

the Senate.
After all the contention and I'M
derhsnded methods carried on by
as a scurrilous a crowd of political
scamps that have ever disgraced Il
good state with their parsonage,
they have come to an end by defeat
Ahat, is fitting Forever disgraced
and politically dead, the crowd who
has carried on the bitter campaign
against Warren. will probably hike
away to their holes, politically, to
lead q civil life in seclusion from
this time on.
The people of the state can be
glad that it was possible to re-elect
Senator Warren, and that this
legislature has accomplished it &C.
cording with their expire ssion at
the last election.
OF course the great crowd of
muck-rakers will try to carry their
work to the u. S. Senate floor,
through spiteful influence there,
but Notwithstanding their strength
and influence may they be whipped
completely at their last stand play
for all time to come.
