you want and the statement
of
this highly respected
resident
'Kill banish all doubt.
Ili'ey Pock, shoemaker, Pleas
ant St., McConnellsburg, says:
"Some years ago I was troubled
with my kidneys and soreness in
my back, i was dizzy at times
and it affected my eyes. I had
to get up often at night on ac
count of kidney secretions. I
was tired out when I got up in
the morning and I didn't feel like
doing any work. I had a doctor
at the time, but he only gave me
a little relief. A friend insisted
upon me taking Doan's Kidney
Tills, as he was cured by them.
I got two boxes at Trout's Drug
Store and found great relief at
once."

WHY YOU ARE NERVOUS
The nervoua system U the alarm system
of the human body.
Ia perfect health we hardly reali that

health is ebbing, when strength is declin.
ing, the same nt-rvou system gives the
alarm in headaches, Urojlness, dreamful
sleep, irritability and unless corrected,
leads straight to a breakdown.
To correct nervousness, Scott'i Emul

MUCH COAL LEAVES COUNTRY
Export From the United State Are
Rising Rapidly Figures for
Last Fiscal Year.
The United States, which produces
40 per cent of the worlds coal, ex
ports annually 27,500,000 tons, or
about 5 per cent of the output. The
total export for the fiscal year end
ing with Juno 30, 11)11, was valued
nt ?SG,000,000, or less tlinn half the
value of the coal exports of the Unit
ed Kingdom and slightly less than
those of Germany. Certainly not an
accomplishment to deserve ary com
ment, until we look back a few
years and find that the exports of
coal from this country have consider
ably more than doubled in the last
ten years. The increase has been
8,500,000 tons in 1301 to 19,500,000
tons in 1911, the latter total being
the largest with the one exception of
the immediately preceding year, on
record. Since the beginning of July
and more especially from August on,
the export coal situation has" been un
certain, but on the whole encourag
ing. There have been large increases
particularly in the South American
and Mexican trade, and Italy has be
come a large market

GERMANY'S FORTRESSES.
Of the more important fortresses
Mainz is regarded by those who
know as the most strategic point in
the west of Europe. Situated on the
eastern front of the Rhine, which
it dominates, it commands also the
natural way to the Danube, and the
routes leading to the Elbe valley, to
Cassel and to the Black forest. Next
comes Koenigsberg, on the Baltic,
guarded on its eastern side by the
Dieme canal.
Metz, the greatest stronghold in
Alsace-Lorraine, is protected by
eleven forts, and in peace time it ia
the center of the German army. Its
6itor fortress, Strassburg, designed
by Moltke, was considered by him
to be impregnable. It is protected
by fifteen forts, connected by citadel
:i i
luiiways, ana irom it armies can
maneuver cast or west of the Rhine
without intervention.

STRANGE SHOWER FROM SKY
Fall of What Is Described as Meteorlo
Floss Is Puzzling the Scien
tists. A remarkable fall from the heav
ens of large quantities of what is
described as meteoric floss took place
at Healdsburg. The shower, which
began between 7 and 8 a. m., and
reached its maximum about ten
o'clock, was seen by all the inhabi
tants of the town.
According to an eye witness, the
material appeared high in the heav
ens, in a clear sky, as a mass of stars,
lustrous metallic sheets and Bilvery
rope;. It reached the earth in vari
ous Bhapes and sizes, ranging from
minute particles to sheets twenty fed
square. It fell in such quantities
that long ropes and masses of it
hung from the telephone and tele
graph wires.
When the substance reached the
warm earth it began at once to con
tract into fibrous masses, resembling
flossy asbestos, though tests proved
that it was not that mineral. Host
of it soon disappeared, though sam
ples were saved and sent to Director
Campbell of the Lick observatory
and to Prof. Tito Alippi, director of
the observatory at Urbano, Italy.

no louder, and when you hear the

don't you go today to your local dealer and
OIL COOK
STOVE
the stove that heats when heat is wanted and don't spread it all over
the room so that you'ro fairly suffocated. Think what it means on a
sizzling hot day to simply shut the hent off as soon as the meal is
cooked, but still have a stove that is ready for instant use when the
next mealtime comes around.
The New Perfection Oil Cook Stove saves time, money and labor.
It lights and regulates like a pas stove and, with ths separate oven and
fireless cooker, is equal to it in cooking power. You can broil, roast,
bake, boil and fry, heat water for wash day and irons for ironing day
in fact, do anything any other stove will do. The combustion
chimneys prevent all smoke and smell and the improved wick out
lasts the ordinary kind. It will certainly pay you to go today and get
acquainted with a New Perfection.
