verly, Kans., is now visiting in
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wil
liam B. Skinner in Franklin, Mo.

Franklin.
Reed Ray, of Bethlehem, Pa.,
visited his mother, Mrs. Agness
Ray, of this place, from Monday
until Wednesday. Mr. Ray is in
the tailoring business in his own
shop, and reports all kind3 of
business good in the big steel
works of that place. Mr. Ray

Garden seeds may now b e
bought pasted on strips of paper
at just the right distance apart
for dantine. The glue with
which they are stuck to the pa
per is composed of enough ferti
lizer to give the seedling a good
start in life, and the back-break
ing job of dropping the seed3
is eliminated. All the gar
dener has to do is to open a fur
row and lay the strip, which

Some of us lazy fellows will have

Wm. Hoop, of Licking Creek
township, was taken to the Cham
bersburg hospital Wednesday of
last week, in the hope that an
operation for cancer of the stom
ach might relieve his suffering.
but after the physicians had
made a careful examination of
their patient, they advised that
he return home without undergo
ing what they said would be i
useless, and perhaps fatal opera
tion. Mr. Hoop was brought
home Saturday. Hi 3 brother
Judge J. W. Hoop, was out to see
him a few days ago and reports
that he is not able to walk unas
sisted. Charles, son of William Black,
of this place, was taken to the
Chambersburg hospital Thursday
of last week where Doctors Pal
mcr and Skinner used the A-ray
to examine a dislocation of the
elbow. About a month ago Char
lie fell and dislocated one of ' his
elbows. Dr. Dalby reduced it
Two weeks later the boy fell and
in.iured the same joint, but
was not thought at the.time that
the injury -wa3 serious. Ten day
later the Doctor was called to see
him, and it was found that the
elbow was again out of joint.
Owing to the time that had el
apsed, the Doctor could not re-locate
the bones without the aid of
the X-Ray. The Chambersburg
doctors reduced it to almost nor
mal, and Charles may yet regain
the full use of his arm.
DOING THEIR DUTY.
Scores of McConnellsburg Readers are
Learning the Duty of the Kidneys.
To filter the blood is the kid

When they fail to' do this the
kidneys are weak.
Backache and other kidney ilia
may follow.
1 Io!p the kidneys do their work
Uso Doan's Kidney rills the
tostod kidney remedy.
Proof of their worth in the fol
lowing. Mrs. Dwight Stottlemyer, 705
Fairgrouud Ave., Chambersburg
Pa., says: "some time ago I suf
fered from kidney complaint I
had awful pains in the small of
my back and my joints and mus
cles ached. My head pained me
and I had dizzy spells. I couldn't
stoop and the trouble made me
weak all over. The secretions
from my kidneys caused ra e
no end of annoyance. I was ad
vised to try Doan's Kidney Pills
and I did. I soon got relief from
the pains and aches and my kid
neys became normal. I now feel
belter in every way. Whenever
need a kidney remedy, l taue
a few doses of Doan's kidney
Pills and am all right.
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy
