AT Camp Meade.

The excursion last Saturday afforded
an opportunity to some Thurmont people
to visit Camp Meade. From Baltimore
to Admiral the trip was made via the w.
B. & A. trolley, no change of car being
made After reaching Admiral station
there are various ways to reach the camp.
In company with Mr.. J. T. Waesche,
who had been employed at Camp Meade,
the getting there quick was made easy
and the stay there made pleasant through
courtesy of Mr.. J. Anthony, one of the
superintendents, and for whom Mr..
Waesche has been working.
Mr. Anthony spoke well of the Thur
mont men who have been working with
him. This came without solicitation. He
says they know how to do what you tell
them to do. He has been working for
contractors for many years, has handled
all sorts of people and knows very quickly
whether or not person is a mechanic.
On Saturday Mr.. Anthony was finishing
some work on the large auditorium build
ing situated close to the Y. M. c. A.
headquarters building. Mr.. Paul Brown
and George Bussard were working there
at that time.
A splendid opportunity is given at the
Camp to walk. and especially if you go
to Admiral. Miles and miles of buildings
and streets and sand walks. Perhaps
the easiest way to find your boy or your
friend is to learn before going the num-
ber of the barrick occupied by them.
For instance, Messrs. Ray Weddle and
Earl Black are at ] barrick This is
more than two miles from Admiral sta
ton. The streets are lettered, begin
ming with A, and the only way is to fol-
low the letters on the buildings.

er. Early Wednesday morning OF last

over, the rain fall being about three
inches for the day. Snow fell to depth
of several inches on the mountains around

struck the city. The weekly Herald Of
October 25, says:
"The rain and wind storm that began
here between seven and eight o'clock
last evening, developed into cyclonic pro-
portions in the latter part of the night
and blew things helter-skelter. Some
roofs were blown off, many trees blown
down, shutters ripped off, house gables
and windows blown in, store signs scat
tered pellmell, telephone poles and wires
blown down. the streets Uttered with
branches of trees and the corn shocks
laid fiat and scattered about in the great
est disorder.
Saturday evening another heavy thun-
der storm visited Frederick county and
extended over much of the northern Sec
ton of the State. At Thurmont rain
began falling between five and six o'clock.
Baltimore city was hit hard by the
storm, the heavy rain falling there soon
after seven o'clock. The thunder and
lightning were severe. A heavy wind
damaged considerable property along
Fort avenue, twenty houses being partly
destroyed. Wires were blown down and
windows by the hundred blown In.
Lightning could be seen in the east
until midnight while the stars were shin
ing bright at Thurmont.
The third heavy rain, snow, hail and
wind storm hit Maryland Monday night
of this week at 10 o'clock, rain falling in
torrents. Wind soon followed and the
two continued all night and on Tuesday
they were joined by snow and hail. Un-
til noon the combination kept falling and
made going about most unpleasant
Some damage was done trees, poles and
roofing in this vicinity.

An Old Mans Stomach.

AS we grow older and less active, less
and less food is required to meet the de-
mands of our bodies. If too much is
habitually taken, the stomach will rebel.
When a man reaches the advanced age
of 85 or 80, you will find that he is a
light eater. Be as careful as you will,
however, you will occasionally eat more
than you should and will feel the need of
Chamberlain Tablets to correct the
disorder. These tablets do not contain
pepsin, but strengthen the stomach and
enable it to perform its functions natur-
ally. They also cause a gentle move
ment of the bowels.
