Solves A Deep Mystery.
1 1 want to thank you from the
bottom of my heart," wrote C. B.
Rader, of Lewisburg, W. Va.,
"for the wonderful double benefit
I got from Electric Bitters, in
curing me of both a severe case
of stomach trouble and of rheu
n atlism, from which I had been
an almost helpless sufferer for
ten years. It suited my case as
though made just forme." For
dyspepsia, indigestion, jauntice
and to rid the system of kidney
pusons that cause rheumatism,
Electric Bitters has no equil.
Try them. Every bottle is guar
anteed to satisfy. Only 50c at
Trout's drug store.
During the year 1910 the Ful
ton House entertained 736 auto
mobile parties, and in 1909, four
hundred forty nine. When it is
considered that there are .two
other good hotels in town, some
idea may be formed of the auto
mobile travel through McCon
nellsburg. Of course, this does
not include the many cars that
passed through, probably calling
at the house for refreshments.
Those having the power to es
tablish a State road across the
Keystone state, ne3d look for no
better argument for the route
through the southern portion of
the State.
DON'T BE BALD.
Nearly Anyone May Secure a Splendid
Growth of Hair.
We have a remedy that has a
record of growing hair and cur
ing baldness in 93 out of ever 100
cases where used according to
directions for a reasonable length
of time. That may seem like a
strong statement it is, and we
mean it to be, and no one should
doubt it until they have put our
claims to an actual test.
We are so certain Iiexall "93"
Ilair Tonic will cure dandruff,
prevent baldness, stimulate the
scalp and hair roots, stop falling
hair and grow new hair that we
personally give our positive guar
antee to refund every penny paid
u 8 for it in every instance where
it does not give entire satisfac tion
to the user,
Rexall"93" Hair Tonic is as
pleasant to use as clear spring
water. It is delightfully per
fumed, and does not grease or
gum the hair. Two sizes, 50c.
and $1.00. Writh our guarantee
back of it, you certainly take no
risk. Sold only at our store

8CARCITY OF LEATHER.
A Condition for Which the Automo
bile Industry Is Largely Responsible.
When the scarcity of hides and
skins is referred to it is hardly under
stood by the layman, who perhaps
does not know that the world is being
scoured tn all corners for all avail
able skins and hides. More races are
constantly becoming civilized and the
increase of our hide and skin supply
Is not In proportion to that of the
huninn race.
The amount of leather used In the
manufacture of novelties of all kinds
has increased to a great extent with
in a few years, says the Shoe Retailer,
but In no line has the use of leather
broadened so extensively as In auto
mobile manufacture.
Any one who is at all familiar with
an automobile knows that there is a
considerable amount of leather used
In its construction, in upholstery and
otherwise. This means a large
draught on the leather market, which
Is perhaps more noticeable In the high
price of spready steers, the hides of
which are extensively used for that
purpose.
Phosphorescent Forests.
The phosphorescence of certain
agarles of Borneo has more than once
demoralized the superstitious natives
and astonished whites. Some years
ago a party of English engineers
found it necessary to survey a tract
of low lying country, which was al
most impenetrable, and to blaze the
trail natives were employed to work
at night, others during the day. The
former came into camp one night
stating that they could not go through
a portion of the bush or forest,
strange "spirits" on the trees telling
them that evil would befall them if
they continued. The "spirits" proved
to be a magnificent display of phos
phorescence emanating from agarles
growing upon the dead limbs of the
trees. These vegetable fire bodies were
traced for a considerable distance,
producing a most remarkable exhibi
tion, the light in some places being so
brilliant that It was difficult to believe
that the forest was not afire. To test
the brilliancy the men held papers
near the most brilliant portions and
read by the light
Mary Harrlman as a Country Girl.
Mary Harrlman has as keen an in
stinct for guarding the cents as her
father demonstrated in his business
career. As the manager of the 30,-000-acre
farm In Arden, N. Y., she
works with an eye to profit. The re
sponsibility of the farm Is not new to
her. For several years she practical
ly held control, her father seldom in
terfering, and then doing little more
than offering a suggestion. Harrlman
was proud of his daughter's talent for
management. They were a familiar
sight driving together over the farm,
Harrlman, as a rule, holding the reins
over one of his fast trotters. Miss
Harrlman cares more for her farm
than for society. She is a keen judge
of a horse, and seldom gets the worst
of a trade.
To Breaking One Neck, $2.
The "line-up" man was a facetious
soul. The womon for whom he was
putting up a pulley clothes-line was
exacting. She ordered it put In a cer
tain place, which It was almost im
possible for him to reach. He hesitat
ed. "If I have to put It there, lady,"
he said, "I'll break my neck." Still
she did not relent. "All right, lady,"
he consented, with a cheerful grin,
"but it'll cost yer $2 extry if I break.
my neck."
The Test. '

NO TIP8 IN FINLAND.
Maid's Surprise on Receiving Money
from Mistress' Guests.
A country where there are no tips
and where small services are rendered
to the strangowlthout hope of reward
would seem hard to find yet such a
country Is Finland.
So far the tourist has not appeared
In any great numbers, and conse
quently the commercial spirit which
his advent always marks has been ab
sent As an example of this, Mme.
Alno Malmberg, a Finnish lady, who
is paying a visit to this country, tells
an amusing story. Two English
friends whom she had met while over
here had been staying with her at
her house in Helslngfors, and on leav
ing gave the maid a tip.
She was very much astonished and
did not know what it meant. Seeing
Mme. Malmberg's son coming down
stairs, she ran to him and said, "They
gave me money. Did they give you
any?" Hearing that they had not
done so, she was mtifh mystified. "I
cannot understand why they should
give It to me and not to you, when
they know you much better than me,"
was her perplexed comment on the
Incident
Osawatomle and Pottawatomie.
The spelling of the two words
Osawatomle and Pottawatomie causes
considerable confusion to this day;
but that Is the way maps have them
now, and that of course makes there
"official."
Osawatomle, famed In Kansas his
tory, is located between the Osage
River and the Pottawatomie. It is
named from these streams. In the
early days two "s's" were frequently
used In Its spelling, but the improprie
ty of their use was shown and pointed
out by the school teachers by simply
explaining the word's derivation.
The name of Pottawatomie, though,
bad about ten different spellings, ac
cording to an old settler of that com
munity. "The tribe of Indians," he
said, "left the State and did not leave
us the correct spelling of the word. So
wo people along the creek finally got
together and decided to spell the word
the shortest way possible Pot-a-wat-o-mle.
Now they are using two 't's' on
the maps, and I guess that is the way
to Bpell It now. We spelled It the
shortest way, and I have often thought
that we were the original simplified
spellers." Kansas City Journal.
Sermons In Ancient Times.
St Augustine's sermons lasted
about 18 minutes, but In that ancient
day It was no uncommon thing to
have several at the same service.
When two or more bishops were pres
ent it was usual for them and the
presbyters to preach one after the
other, reserving the last place for the
highest dlgnatary. Some consolation,
however, was to be found In the fact
that applause was permitted and
many of St Chrysostom's sermons
were hailed with the "tossing of gar
ments and waving of handkerchiefs."
A Personal Matter.
Clarence was usually so restless
and fidgety in church that .his mother
was obliged to reprove him from time
to time. One Sunday he was so quiet
and well-behaved that his mother no
ticed It, and spoke approvingly.
"What a good little boy Clarence
was in church to-day," she said.
"Mamma was so proud of him."
"Well," said Clarence, "I had to be.
The choir looked right at me, and
sang qver and over again, 'Please be
still, please be still!' "Youth's Companion.
Happy Eskimos.
Eskimos are all children, content
ed, peaceable, honest and hospitable,
without rulers and without ambition
for, fame or power. They live almost
entirely on raw animal food, and this
explains the absence of a number of
diseases which are common to civil
ization. Salt water contains Iodine,
and all sea animals, as well as all
who eat them uncooked, abBorb mora
or less of this fickle substance.
Capital Punishment
Capital punishment prevails In all
the States and Territories of the
Union except Michigan, Wisconsin,
Rhode Island, Kansas and Maine. It
was abolished in Iowa in 1872, and re
stored in 1878. It was also abolished
in Colorado, but was restored in 1501.

Mr. George ilershey, of Lick

accident a few days ago that
might have proven very serious.
He was in the woods cuttiog
timber. A tree in falling caused
a limb to fly back and strike Mr.
Ilershey on the bead, almost
crushing bis skull. He received
prompt surgical attention and is
now getting along well.
