Good news bears repeating, and when it is confirmed after a long lapse of time, even if we hes itated to believe it at first bear ing, we feel secure in accepting its truth bow. The following ex perience of a McConnellsburg woman is confirmed after two years. Mrs. D. Kevser, say: "My back ached constantly and the pains in my loins were so severe It was almost impossible forme to bend over. I had but little strength and my housework be came a burden. Oae box of Doan's Kidney Pilla, procured me." A Lasting Effect Oyer two years later Mr. Key ser said: "Doan's Kidney Pills completly cured me of kidney trouble. I am in good health now." 60 c at all dealers. Foster. Milburn Co., Mfgrs,, Buffalo, N.Y. The Brewerjband. If any evidence were needed that the liquor trade is detrimen tal to public order and the gen eral welfare of the country, it is provided by the investigation now going on at Washington. Testi mony has been presented there to show that the brewery inter ests blacklisted, browbeat and otherwise injured or intimidated those who had courage enough to openly favor prohibition. Even one man who had given support to a Christian evangelist wai placed on the blacklist Iron works that required their employes to be temperate were listed for ruin, if the breweries . could bring that about by steer ing business from them. A big automobile company was chalked up for the same reason. Detec tives were put by the breweries into the mills of the United States Steel Company to stir up interest in beer drinking. The Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Rail road Company was marked up because it insisted that its men safeguard the lives of the public and the property of the stock holders by remaining sober. A big hotel was blacklisted for the reason that it declined to light against the closing of bars on Sundays. Isn't it lime we put out of busi ness an interest that places it self above the law and regards its own pocketbook as the sole guidiDg force of its activitieb? Isn't it about time that we rec ognized in this band of black listers an instrument of disorder bordering upon anarchy, and quite as bad as the spy system that Germany maintained in America before and duriog the war? Isn't it about time we get rid once and for all of this law lessbrewerybund? Officeholders' Salaries.

Evacuation Hospital Group, Company G, Camp Greenleaf, Ga . Friday Evening, October 18, 1918. Dear Mother: As I do not have much to do to-dav, I will write you a short letter. I have iust come from taking a three mile walk. I went to a lookout and took a view of our camp, and believe me, it was a sight worth looking at. There are beautiful woods c'own here, and gray squir rels are bo plenty and so tame that on J could almost knock them over with a club. It makes me feel like shouldering up my old shot gun and going out to Side ling Hill. I would not miss army life for a squirrel hunt. 1 do en joy it. "Well, how are vou all getting along? Has Charlie been called yet? You will feel a little lonely when he goes; but you and Dad must "spunk up to it" and be as cheerful as you can, for I think everything will come around all right Just think of your proud soldier boy! Why, mother, I would not be a slacker for any thing. I cannot tell just how soon we will be sent to France, but I hope to have a chance to get a shot at the Huns before it's all over. But I must close, hop ing this will find you all well and happy. Alvin Stanley Strait, P. S. Since the above was written, word has been received that Stanley has been sent to France.

Next Saturday afternoon Ful ton County will pay her tribute of honor and respect to the memory of her young men, who have given their lives that the free institutions of free peoples might not perish from the earth. This memorial meeting is to be held in the Presbyterian Church McConnellsburg. It is the thought of the Com mittee in charge that it would be eminently fitting if all business in the County Seat would voluntarily arrange to pause and remain at a stanistill during the time of this service, as a silent tribute to our Nation's dead. Let everybody feel "I mu9t surely be present at this meet ing." Pershing; For President. A campaign for the election of General John J. Pershing, commander-in-chief of the Ameri can expeditionary forces in France to the presidency in 1920 was formally launched in Ohio Monday by the incorporation of 'The Pershing Republic League." That's in accordance with custom: Washington, the hero of the Revolution; Jackson, of the Mexican; Grant, of the Civil War; Roosevelt, of the Spanish American; and now Pershing, of the World War. Joseph E. Mellott and Samuel A. Hess of Belfast Township, were business visitors in McCon nellsburg Tuesday.

WILLINGLY GAVE HIS MITE Element of Pathos In Old Colored Man's Donation to Canteen Work of ths Red Cross. Twelve hundred troops vent through Atlanta, Ga., one day. Tlio American Ked Crons canteen com- niittec was notified, but nothing was said about the soldiers being lie- grots. When the first train arrived a negro sergeant camo forward. "Perhaps you may not have been informed that ' we are colored troops," said he. "If you arc not prepared to serve us it is perfectly all right." "Bring them on," was tho re sponse. "They aw our soldiers, aren't they?" When tho train was gone an old colored man, who had been watching tho colored troops being served, shuf fled forward. Unwrapping an old pocketbook ho drew forth a half dollar tho only one tho book con tained. "Won't you please take dat half dolhih an' wo it to help tho next lot of cullud soljers, mum?" ho plead ed.

One day the Camp Upton humor ists had a big laugh at a prairie town recruit. The recruit's company had been summoned, and the officer before whom the men lined up start ed detailing ofT for target practice the following day. "You'll bo shot," he announced to the first man and then continuing down tho lino ho said, "You'll bo scorer, you'll bo murker, you'll be shot, etc." ' The raw trooper was one of thoso designated to bo "shot," and fell out of lino with tho others similarly chosen. On tho way back to tho bar- racks, he turned to the man nearest him and asked, "Is it true that we are to be shot in the morning?" 4II , yes, ami it's tough luck," was the reply. Some time later tho re- emit made his way to the camp tele-' graph office, wired his brother in P.uiralo that ho was to bo shot in the morning, and requested the rela- tivc to come on and take charge of his body ' The next morning the embrvo warrior learned that "being shot" meant thut he was to shoot at the targets ' UNITY COUNTS. "Practicing any war economics?" "Several," replied Mr. Dubwuitc, "For one thing, I've dropped the use of the pronoun of the first per- son singular as much as possible." "What did you do that for?" "This war strikes me as being something that calls for mass play, The individual, with the exception of Wilnon, Foch and a few others, counts for so little that ho ought not to call attention to himself."

J PASTEBOARD TO BE SCARCE Use of Wrapping Paper Urged as a j Substitute, Wherever It Is at j All Possible. i i Rave your pasteboard boxes. They are going to bo scarce after this coining season, ( The commercial travelers from the big concerns of lioston and New York, who take in Manchester on Monday on their weekly tour, broko the news gently to the retail dthilers of the city. In view of the shortago of paper, and, moreover, of the lack of men working in tho cardboard factories, the government has caused to be issued a broadcast order that all the goods shipped from tho manufacturer to the wholesaler or the jobber and from them to tho re tailer and the consumer he as much as possible done up in wrapping pa per, rather than in cardboard boxes. Due allowance is made; of course, for the goods already on hand and which were the products of tho lust season's shops. I5ut it is to be ex pected thut from New Year's on tho pasteboard botes will ho considered as n thing of luxury. For some time already the thin wooden boards on which were wound the linen, silk, velvet and cloths of every description have been done away with, and some pasteboard planks substituted for them. It is to be assumed that soon wire winding-forms will bo used in place of them all. The user of those forum will be charged for them at so much per dozen, and due remittance bo made to them upon their returning the winders to their furnishers. Manchester Mirror and American. GOLF BALL CALLS WHEN LOST. One of the latent musical come dies now running in New York has a plothich centers around a Scotch professional golfer, one Mucl'lier son, who has invented a golf ball which cannot be lost, for it cries like a child whenever it finds tho rough. Fair enough for a plot. I?ut tho thought which comes to mind is this: In some of the rough, which each of us may recall, it would be a strange experience for one to walk along on a Saturday afternoon, when the course was well crowded, listening to a lot of lost golf balls whimpering and bawling "mamma," "pupa," or any other special call which it was constructed to say, for it is to be assumed that there would bo a variety of them. It would sound like ai, orphan asylum or a home for foundlings. ; CORPOHAL RESOURCEFUL, 1 1,0 oll,cr cvc"," as 1CorIM)r,nl Mi'th-Hand was walk.ng along tho "'mpany street with a cigarette in mouth, an ice cream cone in ono "J a bottlc of l'P tlic he met two mounted officers, irtily sticking Ins ice cream cono 111 011(3 P01'40' an" "c bottle of pop upside down in the other, he res- cued his cigarette with a quick movement of his left hand and brought his right to a irfcot salute. jUHt then Corp.

Ifcuter's agency has received from a well-informed Siamese source some details of the first Siamese contin gent, which arrived in Franco just ten days ago. The contingent con sists of units of Siamese ambulance, motor and aviation corps, and is un der tho command of Maj. Gen. Thya Ukijai Janridh, who was awarded tho K. C. M. O. some months ago when ho was head of the Siameso military mission to England. Tho general, who has since been await ing in France tho arrival of tho Siameso contingent, was, some twen ty years ago, in the Belgian army, and was educated in France. . The Siamese are peculiarly suited to aviution work, on account of their extraordinary keen eyesight, their smallncss and their daring. The members of the aviation corps who have arrived in Franco have had good. training in Siam, which will be completed in France. They wear khaki uniforms, much tho same in cut as that worn by the British troops. Although there has been compulsory service in force in Siam for many years, tho troops which are now arriving are all volunteers. IN BUOVILLE. T)u(T Drive enh, sir?

The owner of an office building in San Francisco spends his spare time in inventing devices for his own use. One of the devices is an automatic fire alarm which he has installed in his building for protection a, night. These devices, which are distributed throughout the building, cause bells to ring ui)on any considerable rise of temperature. They are so con structed, in fuct, that they arc liable to give false alurms, for the heat from a lamp several feet distant from tho apparatus will set the in struments oIL The devices work upon the principle of the unequal expansion of nichils, brass and steel being used. Two strips of theso metals are soldered together throughout the length of tho instru ment. Any variation of the tem perature causes the compound rib bon to curve toward one side on ac count of the greater expansion of the metal on the other side. An electrical connection is made at a certain point and the bell rings. BRIGHTER SIDE OF WAR. "lie has married the girl of hia drenms, he says." "Oh! Do you think ho will wako up soon ?"

While much of this' work baa oeen new to them, and much Bkepticism prevailed as to their ability to handle it successfully there is no question but that they hve made good and that, as time goes on, more and more women will be employed in agricultural witrk.

The eight wejks short course, slartiug January 1 and c osing March 2, will give special instruction in the care aud handling of live stock, crops, and soils.
