POPULARITY OF

Baseball has grown to gigantic pro- i
portions within the last, decarle and'
the si-ientific work of the teams has
been the delight of millions of spec
tators. There are so manv things to i
admire in the game that It is impos
sible to describe them. Outdoor exer- !
else is one of Nature's best aids in pro- ;
moting health and strength and keep- I
ing tlie blood rich and pure: but, per- t
hiips you are one of the many who are |
denied that privilege. You lead a sed-I
entary life which always has a tendency |
to make the liver lazy, the bowels clog
ged and digestion poor. Oftentimes you j
are nervous, sleepless, have no appetite 1
and feel run down.
I'nder these conditions you will i
greatly appreciate the assistance to be j
derived from a trial of Hostetter s Stom

and strengthening the Stomach. Liver

a normal condition your system Is well
fortified against an attack of Sick Head

Always take good care of your health

AUTHENTIC WAR BOOKFOR
READERS OF THIS PAPER
Newspapers Unite in Big Flan to Pre
sent the Facts of the Great Con
vict Now Being Waged in Eu
The world, as we know it to-day, is
the result of what wars and their at
tending causes have made it. The pres
ent Kuropean war is the bloodiest of
them all, and will make the greatest
noise in history.
I p to the present the public, on
whom the burden of war falls, has had
onh the dispatches and press news of
what is happening across the Atlantic.
These first reports are often denied or
distorted by later reports to such an ex
tent that they cause great confusion
in the minds of our people, and wonder
ment as to just what is authentic.
The Star-Independent has striven to
the best of its ability to give the latest
news of this great conflict as fast as
it could be gathered. But at best news
and authentic historv must vary.
Ever awake to the enlightenment of
its readers, the Star-Independent, in
connection with other large dailies,
sought diligently for the best book it
could ti 11 d which would be absolutely
neutral, and setting forth the facts as
they will go down in history.
We discovered a remarkably com
plete book entitled. ''The Nations at
War," by the well-known writer. Wil
lis J. Abbott, author of other standard
books on international subjects, who
has acquired recognition as an un
prejudiced historian.
This volume, just off the press, cov
ers every event which has occurred
during the first six months of the Euro
pean war, and just as it will go into
official history.
This magnificently illustrated $3
volume contains several hundred pho
tographic reproductions taken on the
scenes of action.
By taking its quota of the entire
first edition, however, the Star-Inde
pendent is in a position to distribute
this interesting history to iti readers
practically on a complimentary basis—
requiring but a small deposit simply
sufficient to pay the expressage. neces
sary checking expenses nnd clerk hire
incidental to handling such a large
proposition.
Our arrangement with the publish
ers are such that the book can only be
had through the daily newspapers.
Every page is beautifully illustrated,
showing graphically the deeds of valor,
devastation of modern Europe, destruc
tion of historic cathedrals and* the dia
bolical havoc created by the grim,
clutch of war, with its billions of cost
and mighty harvest of death. The
pictures have been taken wherever the
events occurred by the brave photog
raphers who risked their lives in order
that the nations at peace may actually
see what the nations at war have done
in the gigantic conflict.
The books are arriving in large quan
tities and the presentation will begin
this coming Wednesday. In a few years
this unbiased history of the world's
greatest war will be priceless.

Prominent Young Man Dies
Cochranville, May 4. W.
Davis, 38 years old, a prominent young
man of this place, died Sunday evening
from a complication of diseases. He
was a member of several secret organ- J

Same Old Friend.
Some time ago a young woman mar
ried the second time, and it chanced
that while on the honeymoon she stop
ped at the same hotel where she was a
guest on her first wedding trip.
"Charles," remarked the bride, ad
dressing the waiter as she sat at the
table, "please pass me the butter."
"Yes, ma'am," obediently answered
the waiter, shoving along the dish.
"But my name is not Charles."
"Excuse me. Charles," smiled the
bride. "It is my lnistake," and then,
tasting her bread, she reflectively add
ed, "You may not be the same old
waiter, but this is certainly the same
old butter."—Philadelphia Telegraph.
