Not So Far That the Statements of Its Residents Cannot Be Verified. Rather an interesting caae has been developed in Greencastle. Being so near by, it is well worth publishing here. The statement is sincere the proof convincing; Jacob Stover, town councilman 46 K. Baltimore St., Greencastle, Pa., says: "I was bothered by soreness and lameness across the small of my back. My kid neys didn't act properly and the kidney secretions were irregular in passage. 1 didn't rest well at night, as I had to get up several times. I was advised to try Doan's Kidney Pills and I got a supply. After taking a few dos e , I found relief. Price 50c. at all dealers. Don't simply ask lor a Kidney remedy get Doau's Kidney Pills the same that Mr. Sto v e r had. Foster-Milburn Co , Props., Buf falo, N. Y. Advertisement. The Flj. Here are some suggestions and rules issued by the Iowa State Board of Health in regard to the fly: Keep the flies away from the sick, especially those ill with con tagious diseases. Kill every fly that strays into the sick room. His body is covered with disease germs. Do not allow decaying material of any sort to accumulate on or near your premises. Screen all food and insist that your grocer, butcher, baker and everyone from whom you buy foodstuffs does the same. Keep all receptacles for gar bage carefully covered, and the cans cleaned or sprinkled with lime, oil or other cheap prepara tions. Pour kerosene into the drains. Burn pyrethrum powder in the house to kill the flies, or use a mixture of formaldehyde and wa ter, one spoonful to a quarter- pint of water; this exposed in the room will kill all the flies. Screen all windows and doors, especially in the kitchen and din ing room. If you see flies, you may be sure that their breeding place is in nearby filth. It may be be hind the door, under the table, or in the cuspidor. If there is no dirt and filth, there will be no flies. "Health is wealth," and "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." There is more health in a house well screened than in many a doctor's visit The only safe way is to keep out the flies. WATERFALL. H. II.

NOT ENOUGH CHILDREN ever receive the proper balance of food to sufficiently nourish both body and brain during the growing period when nature's demands axe greater than in matcre life. This is shown in so many pale faces, lean bodies, frequent colds, and lack of ambition. For all such children we say with unmistakable earnestness: Tbey need Scott's Kmulsion, and need it now. It possesses in concentrated form the very food elements to enrich their blood. It changes weakness to strength ; it makes them sturdy and strong. No alcohol. Scott ft Bowse, Btoomficld. N. J. SALl'VIA Mrs Reuben Mellott's illness, noted last week, is quite serious. The four doctors in consultation one day last week, decided that an operation would be useless, and unadvisable that there were no abscesses on the liver that an advanced stage of lung disease prevailed. Squire Bert llann was taken sick at the Stone Crusher, on Sideling Hill, where he worked, on Friday last The mail man brought him to bis home, a phy sician was called, was bedfast on Saturday and Sunday. Pains in side, the trouble. II. Elmer Deshong and wife of Bemis, Va., have been visit inghis invalid mother Mrs. Ma bala Deshong, and other relatives in this section.

Ira Sipes has purchased a fine new bicycle. Ira is a steady, good working, saving young man, but believes in keeping up with the times. Chester Hann and family ex pect to move to their new house, one fourth of a mile from Green Hill, this week. V. P. Topping, wife and daugh ghter Miss Gladys, of Elgin, 111., after an extensive tour of the New England States, New York, New Jersey, and eastern Penn sylvania, took dinner at the Green Hill House on the homeward trip They were accompanied by Miss Rose Wilson a missionary teach er of Tabriz, Persia. Mr. Topp ing is general manager of the D. C. Cook Publishing House, of El gin, ill. He said the company uses 27 tons ot paper, per year, in publishing Sunday School pa pers alone. We were much surprised on meeting with a number of our people, at the funeral of Watson Schooley on Friday last to bear their opinion about the cool weath er, of part of last week one said "the cold wind, blew like winter" never thinking that ooe blast of a severe winter morning, 35 de grees below zero, would chill him to the bones, another said, "it was cold enough to bring a big frost" never thinking that Na ture's laws are inflexible, that no frost could come after such set tied rains as we had, and for getting the writers prediction made about June 1st last that there would be no more spring frosts. Others said "it will dam age the crops," others said "it will damage the fruit" No one seemed to know what the tem perature really was, on the cool est mornings, of last week, em phasizing the necessity of every home having a good reliable ther mometer and consulting it. Fathers and mothers, as the Dutchman says, "look a leetle out" about your daughters, there are vicious and lewd scamps aft er them, at the many night meet ings. The Motor Truck. The way Herbert Duffy glides into town daily with a motor truck load of products from Web ster Mills clinches the idea that similar trucks would be very suit able for all our mail routes to pro mote trade between County points. A speed of seven to eight miles per hour is not hard on the machines, and is twice as fast a3 with horse drawn vehi cles. It has been the dream of many that motor trucks, run . on schedule time, will eventually solve the problem of freighting and travel in isolated districts like the central part of the coun ty, and between McConnellsburg and Everett To Clean a Paint Brash. If you have a paint brush that was carelessly allowed to become hard on account of paint having dried on it it may be cleaned, it is said, by boiling it in vinegar until the paint softens, then wash out all the vinegar very careful ly or it will dissolve the bristles. Vinegar mixed with linseed oil will quickly dissolve dirt on fur niture or buggy curtains, and the act of wiping it off with a soft rag polishes the surface nice as new. Family Reunion. The family reunion of Wm. H. Paylor and wife Abagail occur red at their home 3 miles South West of McConnellsburg on Thursday, June 24th. It was the occasion of the 38th wedding an niversary of Mr. and Mrs. Pay lor and also, "The Infair" for the two sons, Bruce and Raymond who were recently married. The event was very pleasant and en joyable and remarkable in sever al ways. All seven of the chil dren with their wives and hus bands were present; and all of the living 23 grandchildren were present Only four of the grand children have passed on before, dying in childhood. A most de licious and sumptuous dinner was served. The following relatives and friends were present: Geo. W. Paylor and wife Maggie Ella married Sept 11, 1901 and their children Lawrence, Reed, Gaily Kenneth and Blair; Mary Alice and husband John Souders mar ried Mch. 22 1899, and their chil dren, Reed, Chas, and Maudelin; Rosa Houpt and children Nora and Samuel Ott, and Alice Houpt Phoebe Frances and husband Henry Carbaugh married Mch. 14 190C, and their children Ralph Loyd, Helen and Thesta; Nora and husband Elmer Hann-mar- ried Feb. 14, 1912; Chas.

Crops and Livestock Report Statistican L H. Wible's Crop and Livestock Report for May has reached our desk. Speaking of the State in general, the crop prospects are normal. Wheat acreage is 2 per cent, greater than for 1914. The only crop that shows a falling off in Fulton county is hay. We have, also, his statistics on sheep for the year 1914. During that period, 5,187 sheep were re ported killed in the State by dogs and 3,813 were injured. The av erage price paid in Fulton coun ty for sheep killed by dogs was $4.91 each, and for injured sheep $1.57 each, Total number of sheep reported killed in Fulton county, 42; injured, 14. In Del aware county the average price paid for sheep killed was $18.00 each. In Adams county $10.00. In Schuylkill $15.00, and in many other counties the price paid rang ed between $10.00 and $18.00 each. The average for the state was $7.19 each. The number of dogs killed in the State during 1914 was 2,035 chiefly on ac count of non-payment of dog tax es. Dedicatory Exercises. About sunset next Saturday evening the local W. C. T.

A large bulletin board 13 beintr erected at that place this week to be used in the furtherance of the work of that organization, and it will be unveiled Saturday evening.
