Letter to Prof. Lamberson,
McConnellsburg Pa.
Dear Sir : Here's another pro
blem tor those arithmetic and
algebra scholars:
If Devoe is worth 1.75 a gal
lon, and spreads a half further
than average paint, and wears
twice as long, what is average
paint worth a gallon put-on,
painters' wages being 8.S0 a day
and a day's work a gallon of
paint.
The answer is minus 1.75 a
galion. That is : you could afford
to paint with average paint if
somebody gives it to you and
pays half the painters' 'vages,
Yours truly
P. W. Dkvok & Co.
P. b. J. A. Boyd, Mercersburg
and Norman O. Huber Chambers
burg, sell our paint.

newspapers at home, when com

tors and read more understand
ing, and obtain a practical
knowledge of geography in al

others. The newspaper is de
cidediy an important factor in
modern life.

No Voter Disfranchised By Changing Re
sidence April 1st.
The question has risen con
cerning the proper voting place,
at the April primaries, for the
man who changes residence on
April 1st. This question is very
easily solved. The uniform pri
mary act provides that any voter
can cast his ballot at the primary
in the district in which he intends
to cast his ballot at the general
election, consequently be has a
legal right to vote at the primary
in the new district to which he
has removed even if he is not re
gistered therein.
No man loses his vote by rea
son of not having lived in the
district for sixty days, which,
however, would be the case at a
general election. The same does
not apply to the primary as it,
after nil, is simply a nomination
of officers to be elected at the
general election.
How Cough Qermi Multiply.
When you have a cold the
mucous membrane is mllamed
and the disease germs which you
breathe find lodgement and mul
tiply, especially the pneumonia
germ. Foley's Honey and Tar
soothes and heals the inflamed
air passage, stops the cough and
expels the cold from your system.

A liural Free Mail Delivery
route has been established be
tween Hopewell and Wells Tan
nery, and our veteran mad car
rier Jacob Crider who has car
ried the mail over this star route
during the past sixteen years
has received notice that his route
will be shortened April 1st, and
schedule changed. After that
time he will run only between
Wells Tannery and New Grenada,
six trips a week. Instead of
leaving here with the mail at '1:80
a. m., he will leave at 9:20 a. m.
returning at 3:50 p. m. This ar
rangement is n.it satisfactory to
us at all. With another R ute to
Three Springs, we are sadly in
convenienced In the way of trav
el and freight After the nrst of
April, Mr. Crider will run a stage
to Hopewell and return on Mon
day, Thursday and Saturday of
each week, in addition to carry
ing the mail to the Tannery.
This, of course, is the next best
thing.
You Can Help Is.
Every newspaper wants to pub
lish the news. The better the
paper the more prosperous it
will be. Local news items are
especially hard to run down.
How many times have you, dear
reader, been approaceed by the
newspaper man for au item of
news aud told him you knew
nothing of interest. Probably at
the time your family was away
on a visit or some one from out of
town was visiting at your home.
Of course you didn't mean to de
ceive us, yet when you received
vour paper you wondered why
your family or friends were not
mentioned. A good way to avoid
all this is tc inform us of the fact
or Hrop a note in the Post Office
to the paper. The one item may
not amount to much, but several
columns of such news is the life
of a loeel paper.
A Cure For Misery.
"1 have found a cure for the
misery malaria poison produces."
says K M. James, of LoueUen, S.
C. "It's called Electric Bitters,
uud comes in 50 cent bottles. It
breaks up a case of chills or a
bilious attack in almost no time;
and it puts yellow jaundice clean
out of commission." This great
tonic medicine and blood puriher
gives quick relief in all stomach,
liver and kidney complaints and
the misery of lame back. Sold
under guarantee at Trout's drug
store.
In a letter from Arthur Barton
last week containing a checn to
advance his subscription to the
News to 1911, he states that his
city, Birmingham, Ala., has felt
the shock of the panic like the
northern cities, but things there
are beginning to brighten up,
and he thinks everything will be
in as good shape as ever in a
short time.

Weak
Hearts
Are due to Indigestion. Ninety-nine of every
ens hundred pooplt who havo heart trouble
can remember when It was simple Indiges
tion. It Is a scientific fact that all cases ol
heart disease, not organic, are not only
traceable to, but are the direct result of Indi
gestion. All food taken Into the stomach
which falls of perfect digestion ferments and
swells the stomach, puffing It up against the
heart. This Interferes with the action of
the heart, and In the course of time thai
delicate but vital organ becomes diseased.
