IIOW FAR IS GREENCASTLE.
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.

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.

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.

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

They were accompanied by Miss

ing is general manager of the D.

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.

Paylor and wife Abagail occur

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. U.
will conduct dedicatory exercises
on the corner lot just south of
the Presbyterian church. 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. A
program has been arranged, and
the exercises will be interesting.
The children of the town and
community, the ministers, the
members of the W. C. T. U., and
all ethers who may desire to take
part fe invited to assemble at
Court House Park at 7 o'clock,
when a jrocession headed by the
McConne.lsburg Band will pro
ceed to the place of the dedica
tion. The girls, as far as possi
ble, will be dressed in white and
carry white flowers; the boys
will carry flags. Another meet
ing will be held at the Presby
terian church Friday evening for
practice.
Church Notices.

Mr. Husband, Help Your
Wife in the Kitchen!
No. not peeling the potatoes, washing the dishes and the other familiar
kitchen duties, but help her by buying a cook stove that will make her
work easier and more comfortable. You're not the one that stands over
a red-hot stove preparing meals and you're not always around when coal
is needed or there's wood to be split or ashes to be taken up.
What's more to the point, you don't have t be if you buy a
NEW PERFECTION OIL COOK STOVE
And your wife won't have to stew herself to a frazzle in a hot kitchen
getting breakfast, dinner and supper ready. Now.be fair to your wife and
relieve her of a lot of the drudgery of the kitchen with a New Perfection.
Think how easy it is for her to simply scratch a match and have a stove
ready for instant use no poking and raking and waiting for it to "burn
up." Save' money? Why, of course! There's no fuel being consumed
when the stove is not in use. And think of the time and labor saved, too.
With the separate oven and fireless cooker the New Perfection has the
utility of other stoves. Your wife can bake, roast, fry, broil and boil. Can
heat water for wash day and irons for ironing day.
Don't put it off any longer. Go now to your dealer and examine the New Perfec
tion Oil Cook Stove with the perfected oil reservoir, the regulated flame control,
the combination chimneys that prevent smoke and smell and the improved wick
that outlasts the ordinary kind. Give your wife a square deal and investigate today
this safe, sane, saving and satisfying cook stove.
