Style means manners; there are manners in reading. Good manners and bad manners in print may be as im- pudent as anywhere. Intelligent people prefer reading that approaches them like a gentleman—sensible, earnest, and to the point. A bargain is a magnet; uncover it and needles will head your way. We offer that bargain when we say to our patrons, Send us $3.90 and it will pay for a year's subscription to both this paper and the Cosmopolitan Magazine. The offer is a genuine bargain, and those of our friends who are not now taking a first-class Magazine into their homes should see to it that they do not miss this opportunity. ALL THE YEAR ROUND. The greatest success hitherto attained in the Magazine field must be accorded to the Cosmopolitan, jumping as it has from 16,000 copies in 1889 to an edition of 150.000 copies for January, 1893. That there is cause for this success goes with- out saying. No other publication, of any description, before the public makes the effort to give its readers the best of everything, and succeeds in doing it as does tais monthly. Its illustrations lead the world; its literary merit is certainly of the highest order that money can buy or brains produce. Each month, from year’s end to year's end, can be found in side its covers something to instruct and please every member of the household. In fact a year's careful reading of the Closmopoiitan means a progressive step in the education of any man or woman in the land. WE OFFER YOU the monthly visits of this popular maga- zine for a year, if taken in connection with a year’s subscription to Tue STAR, for only $3.90. This we are able to do through a special contract made in behalf of our readers with the Magazine pub- lishers. The price of the Cosmopolitan alone is $3.00, at which price it is the cheapest of monthlies, giving as it does 1336 pages of reading matter, with over 1200 illustrations for a singie year’s sub- Send your order to us.

It is intended especial- ly for conghs, colds, eroup and whoop- ing coughs, and is the most effectual rem- edy known for these diseases. 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by Copland, the druggist, Meyersdale, Pa. x Lemon Juice For Rheumatism. A little girl up on the west side was to give a splendid birthday party one day last month, but the day and the presents arrived and found her in bed, paralyzed with rhenmatism. She is onlv 7. and her parents and even the family doctor thought it a remarkable and uncalled for malady. But the carefully, guarded only child suffered as terribly as the most neg- lected little mortal who had spent cold nights in the streets and had invited the awful disease in every way. Finally a doctor was called in, who, among other things, knows a thing or two about in- flammatory rheumatism. He sniffed at the array of liniments, pronounced them “harmless” and prescribed lemon juice— lemon juice, pure and simple—a wine- glassful every morning. The little girl is now well. Here is another bit of medi- cal advice. If you are subject to rheun matism don’t eat eggs.—Washington News. PLL Cr, Fora number of years I have been subject to violent attacks of inlamma- tory rheumatism, which generally lasted about two months. On the first of this month I was attacked in the knee and suffered severely for two days, when I procured a bottle of Chamberlain’s Pain Balm and it relieved me almost instantly. | I therefore most cheerfully recommend Lit to those who are similarly afflicted, ev- erywhere.—R. D. WurrLey, Martindale, N. C.. Feb, 1888. Mr. Whitley is a very prominent man in this place and his dis- ease was very widely known, as he suf- fered such severe pain. W. M. Houston & Co., Merchants.

It is one of the easiest things in the | world to tell pure water from the impure. | If you want to tést the color of the water, just fill a colorless glass bottle with the water and look through it at some black object, and the distinctiveness with which you can see the object will give you an idea as to the amount of clay or sand there is in the water. Then pour out one-half the water, cork the bottle tight- [ Ankeny, Ogle; Scott Murphy, Paint, and | lv and set it in a warm place for about 24 Remove the cork and smell the If there is an offensive odor, even the slightest, the water is un- fit for domestic uses.

Walker, Salishury, Pa. that luxury, safety and comfort that popular patronage demands. Its equipment is thorough- ly complete with vestibu'ed trains, magnificent dining cars, sleepers and chair coaches, all the most elegant, and of recently improved patterns. Faithful and capable management and polite, honest service from employes are important items. They are a double duty-—to the Com- pany and to travelers—and it is sometimes a task difficult of accomplishment. Passengers on this line will find little cause for complaint on that ground. The importance of this Line can be better un- derstood if a short lesson in geography be now recited. What is the great Eastern termini of the Rock Island Route?—Chicago. What other sub-East- ern termini has it¥—Peoria. To what important pois does it run trains to the Northwest ?—St. aul and Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Water- town and Sioux Falls, Dakota. To what impor- tant Towa and Nebraska points?—Des Moines, Davenport, Towa; Omaha and Lincoln, Nebras- ka. Does it touch other Missouri River points?— Yes; St. Joseph, Atchison, Leavenworth and Kansas City. Does it run trains to the Foothills of the Rocky Mountains?—Yes; to Denver, Colo- rado Springs and Pueblo, solid vestibuled from Chicago. Can important cities of Kansas be reached by the Rock Island Route?—Yes: its capital city, Tokepa, and a full hundred others in all directions in the State, and it is the only road running to and into the new lands opened for settlement in the Cheyenne and Arapahoe Reservation. It will thus be seen that a line tapping, as the Rock Island does, such a varied territory, has much in that regard to commend it to travelers, as all connections are sure on the Rock Island, and passengers can rely on a speedy journey, as over a bulk of the system through trains are run, and it has become, and rightly too, the popular Line. A very popular train on the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway leaves Chicago, daily, at iv p. m. Itis called “Tae Bie Five,” is only one day out, and passengers arrive at Denver, Pueblo or Colorado Springs early the second morning. The Rock Island has become a popular Colo- rado Line, and the train above referred to is Ves- tibuled, and carries the Rock Island's excellent Dining Car Service.
