ARE YOUR KIDNEYS WELL.
Many McConnellsburg People Know the
Importance of Healthy Kidneys.
The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day.
Well kidnoys remove impuri
ties. Weak kidneys allow impurities
to multiply.
No kidney ill should be neg
lected. If you have backache or uri
nary troubles,
If you are nervous, dizzy or
worn out,
Begin treating your kidneys at
once; .
Use a proven kidney remedy.
None endorsed like Doan's Kid
ney Pills.
Keccom mended by thousands.
Proved by McConnellsbu rg
testimony.
P. F. Black, McConnellsburg,
Pa., says: "While unloading lum
ber at my work I slipped and
wrenched my back badly. After
that 1 had great pain across my
loins, and my back often got lame
and sore. I used Doan's Kidney
Pills, procured at Trout's Drug
Store, and they soon gave me re
lief. This remedy has my en
dorsement." Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask lor a kidney remedy
get Doan's Kidney Pills the
same that Mr. Black had.

How to Live Long. '
Do you want to live to be a
hundred? Then get married.
That is the advice of the Japan
ese newspaper, "Jiji Shimpo."
Of course there are other rules
you must follow, but according
to the "Jiji Shimpo" gettingmar
ried is the most important of them
all. These are a few of the rules
recommended by the Japanese
which will help you to live to be
a hundred.
Get married. If you are a bach
elor, get married at once. If you
are a widower, get married as
soon as you can.
Sleep for seven hours in a dark
room with the windows open
wide.
Get to sleep as early as possi
ble in the evening. Rise early,
too.
Bathe frequently. One or two
baths each day is none too many.
Never neglect totake at least one
bath each day.
Spend as much time in the open
air as you can, whether eating,
sleeping or resting. Breathe
deeply while in the air.
Eat moderately. Drink mod
erately. Drink no coffe nor alco
hol. Do not smoke.
Eat little when the weather is
warm. Eat little meat and nev
er more than once each day.
Take frequent periods of rest
and devote one whole day each
week to rest and to the recuper
ation of the body.
Do not show anger or sorrow
or great joy. Control all emo
tions and do not let emotions show
in the face. Avoid too much work
ing and thinking.
Exercise frequently and wear
sensible clothing.
John Martz, of Dublin town
ship, was in town a few hours
Monday. In addition to being a
hustling young farmer, John is
doing a good thing for himself,
and a better thing for his neigh
bors, by burning lime. He is op
ening, to-day, a kiln of some
1,800 bushels, which will go to
the first callers at 12 cents a bu
shel. Just as soon as this kiln is
out, another will be burned. As
a rule, farmers find they can
buy lime at the kiln cheaper than
they can haul the green stone and
burn it at home.
Rev. A. R. Garland closed a

Farmers Should Use Rain Gauge.
Daniel N. Kern, of Allentown,
lecturer for the State Board of
Agriculture, who has kept care
ful records, reports that the rain
fall in that city, last year was
40i inches or 7 inches more than
in 1912.
"Up-to-date farmers should
have a raingauge," he says,
"Some will ask why and what
for, others say what is a rain
gauge? Any vessel six inches or
twelve inches square, about four
inches high, will do. The sides
should be square up and be set on
a post-level and in an open place.
After each rain measure the wa
ter exactly. When after a dry
spell it is too dry to plow sod
ground and rain comes the farm
er probably tries to plow, but
soon finds out that the water has
not gone .deep enough.
"If he had a rain gauge he
could have seen how much water
to soak through dry sod ground.
A farmer can soon learn how
much water it takes to soak
through his soil.
"Farmers should plow early in
March for oats, and harrow their
land as fast a3 they plow it to
keep the moisture in their soil.
When they plow and let it lie the
moisture will evaporate very fast
"By frequent tillage many
farmers could double their potato
and corn crops. Oats soaked in
salt water and sown the last
week in March, or the first week
in April, should yield about 75
bushels per acre. If a heavy
rain comes you should run a
smoothing harrow over the whole
field to break the crust as soon
as it has dried off a little. By
this simple process you can pre
vent the evaporation of many
tons of water and give the young
plants a good start Seed oats
that are soaked in salt water will
produce straw about six inches
longer than oats sown dry. It
will prevent smut"
"Birds of a Feather.
A number of Fulton County
people now residing in Akron, 0.
were entertained last Sunday a
week at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. E. W. Neal, in that city.
When luncheon was announced
and all had been seated in the
dining hall, it was noticed that
eight of the number were Penn
sylvanians all from Fulton coun
ty, except Mr. Neal who is a na
tive of Williamsport, Pa. The
others were Miss Goldie Mason
and Miss Grace Lodge, of McCon
nellsburg; Miss Bessie Willett, of
Wells Valley; Mr. and Mrs. L. L.
Cunningham, of New Grenada;
Mrs. Neal, who will be better re
membered by her Fulton county
friends as Maude Cunningham,
and Master George Neal.
It was a most delightful occa
sionmore like an old-fashioned
revival, or "quilting party".
Music vocal and instrumental,
galore was a feature most en
joyable. Mrs. Neal and Goldie
Mason held the piano down while
Mr. Neal and "Flick" cranked
the victrola. Saturday evening,
Misses Alma and Edna Mclain
called at the same home. "Birds
of a feather flock together."
Goldie Mason, Grace Lodge,
and Bessie Willet are teachers
in the public schools in that city.
Billions Invested in Farm Animals.
The annual livestock report of
the Orange Judd Farmer showed
a farm wealth in this form of
property that break all records.
The increase in value in twelve
months was placed at $443,750,
000, while the total value of all
classes of farm animals reached
$5,596,024,000. Of this total hor
ses furnished $2,185,555 , 0 0 0;
mules $529,339,000 and milch
cows $1,032,900,000. Byway of
comparison the total value repre
sented fifty per cent more than
the total money in circulation in
this country and was almost equal
to all deposits in the 7,400 nation
al banks in existence.
The numbers of meat produc
ing animals, however, showed a
decrease, beef cattle recording a
falling off in numbers o 1,762,000
head or five per cent; hogs a de
crease of 4,982,000 or seven per
cent. Milch cows showed no ma
terial change, while horses in
creased steadily in num : er. The
decrease in numbers caused a
heavy increase in average value
fper head, milch cows advancing
21 per cent: other ; cattle 18 per
cent, hogs 17 per cent, sheep 8
per cent.

Political Announcement
FOR CONGRESS,
James M. Yeager.
James M. Yeager, of Lewistown,
announces his candidacy for the Re
publican nomination for Congress in
the Seventeenth District.
The Mexican Question.
The Mexican situation is one of
the most perplexing questions
any president of the United
States has been called to consid
er. The Huerta forces are steadi
ly losing ground, and any one of
the possible victors is said to be
little or no better than a savage
bandit It is said by those in
position to know, that it would
cost this country $100 to protect
one dollar of American or foreign
capital endangered in Mexico;
and, in addition, many lives: and
yet, this country is expected to
guard foreign interests in this
country, and opposition news
papers would have us believe
that the president and his ad
visers are dallying with Mexico.
We sometimes think that it would
be the very height of consistency
for the president to draft a huge
army from among the worst of
his maligners, and send them
down there to fight the half civ
ilized hordes of bandits. It would
be a good object lesson. For
generation after generation, Mex
ico has practiced revolution and
bloodshed, and no administration
has had the stamina to under
take to teach that country that
it lives in an age of civilization
until Mr. Wilson determined that
the government of that country
may as well be made to under
stand that the balance of the
world is tired of it It will be
time enough when the Huerta
administration falls for this coun
try to seize the ports of entry, in
case his successor proves no bet
ter than the rulers that country
has had.
