Moving Your
Merchandise!
Advertising creates a desire. Gratifying that desire starts a
habit. >
If you don’t advertise at all, no desire is created. If you ad-
vertise a little and stop, the desite stops before it starts a habit.
It is habit you want to produce—the habit of reading your ads,
coming to your stcre, buying your goods.
This is the only way to keep your merchandise continually on
the move.
Everybody has a habit of reading the Somerset County Star,
brought on by a desire to know the news. Take advantage of
this habit by giving the people your store news through its col-
umns.
When can we talk this over with you?

One Minute Cough Cure
is the only harmless cough cure that
gives quick relief. Cures coughs, colds,
croup, brochitis, whooping cough, pneu-
monia, asthma, la grippe and all throat,
chest and lung troubles. I got soaked
by rain, says Gertrude E. Ferner, Mun-
cie, Ind., and contracted a severe cold
and cough. I failed rapidly; lost 48
lbs. My druggist recommended One
Minute Cough Cure. The first bottle
brought relief; several cured me. I
am back to my old weight, 48 lbs. One
Minute Cough Cure cuts the phlegm,
relieves the cough at once, draws out
inflammation, cures croup. An ideal
remedy for children. E. H. Miller.

A Remarkable Man.
The Somerset Classis Visitor has pub-
lished the following from the pen of
Rev. B. Knepper, the oldest minister in
this county:
I was born on the tenth of Septem-
ber, 1816, about three miles west of
Berlin, Somerset county, Pa., educated
in the school of Christ, had the Bible
for my text book. In 18461 went along
to Classis in Clarion county; on the
10th of June, 1846, I was licensed to
preach the Gospel. I had a call then
from the Wellersburg charge and on
the 18th of June, 1846, I preached the
first time in Wellersburg and at White
Oak in an old school house as licensed
preacher. That summer the new house
was finished and the 12th of November,
1846, I was ordained in the White Qak
church, by Rev. W. Conrad and D. B.
Ernst.
The first time I administered bap-
tism was in the White Oak school
house, when six pair of parents brought
the children forward (making 18 in all)
to be baptized. I trusted in the Lord
and got along all right. Since that I
baptized 2,311 more,making 2,329 in all.
Now I will give some incidents in my
pastoral experience, that don’t happen
often in the ministerial life.
On the first of May, 1849, G. F. Gep-
hart came from Cumberland to Well-
ersburg to get married; I performed
the ceremony. On the first of May,
1899, hence fifty years, they came to
me, the same man, at the same place to
celebrate their golden wedding in a
quiet way, and we had a nice time.
In 1871 I baptized and confirmed W.
Welman, from New York state, in his
64th year. In 1890, I confirmed E.
Hockemyer in her 97th year, and
preached her funeral when she had
reached the age of 105 years.
In February, 1898, by a young man,
I was taken to the home of G. Walker,
a distance of about 30 miles to confirm
him as member of the Reformed
church, he being almost 80 years.
About fifty years ago two children
were baptized by me—in due time cons
firmed by me—afterwards joined in
marriage by me ; last Sunday I baptiz-
ed the tenth of their children.

Anxious Moments.
Some of the most anxious hours of a
mother’s life are those when the little
ones of the household have the croup.
There is no other medicine so effective
in this terrible malady as Foley’s Hon-
ey and Tar. It is a household favorite
for throat and lung troubles, and as it
contains no opiates or other poisons it
can be safely given. KE. H. Miller.
A MUSICIAN'S LOVE LETTER.
Managed to Express His Sentiments
in Song Titles, New and Old.
Johnstown Tribune.
A friend furnishes the Tribune the
following clever letter, purporting to
have been written from a musician t
his lady loye, wherein he manages
express his tender sentiments more
less accurately through the titles of
songs, new and old. Itis the work of
Miss Mary B. Stephens, of Indiana, and
displays considerable familiarity with
musical compositions:
“Hello, My Baby,” “I've Waited,
Honey, Waited Long for You,” and have
grown to think I am “The Girl You
Left Behind.” But knowing that “All
Coons Look Alike” to you, I shall
“Wait Till the Clouds Roll By” and
“The Harvest Days Are Over,” and will
patiently look for you to call on me
*“’Mid the Green Fields of Virginia,” in
“My Gld Kentucky Home,” or “Down
Upon the Swaunee River,” as you did
in the “Dear Departed Days.”
Yes, “I Love to Sit by the Old Fire-
side,” but “I Don’t Care if You Never
Come Back,” for “You Don’t Weigh No
Fifteen Hundred Pounds.” “I Have No
Friends or Family Now;” TI am just
“An Innocent Young Maid,” but “I'd
Leave My Happy Home for You.”
“Oh, My Tiger Lily,” when you get
this I shall probably be “Where the
Sweet Magnolias Bloom,” although it
may be possible they will “Put Me Off
at Buffalo,” where I will “Tell Them
That I Saw You” and “Break the News
to Mother,” who “Has Seen Better
days.” I shall also visit the “Holy
City” and attend the “Georgia Camp-
meeting.”
“Oh, Babe Do You Remember” the
days when you.made “Those Goo Goo
Eyes” “Just Because You Loved Me”
or had “Nothing Else to Do”? But as
a favor I ask you to wear a “Sweet
Bunch of Daisies.” And now I must
close. Good-bye, and I pray that “God
Be with You Till We Meet Again,” for
“TI Can’t Tell Why I Love You, But I
Do-00-00.” “I Was Happy Till I Met
You,” but “The Fault Is Ail My Own.”
“I'll Be Happy with You Forever” in
your “Good, Dear, Sweet, Old Home.”
He Could Hardly Get Up.
P. H. Duffy, of Ashley, Ill., writes,
“This is to certify that I have taken two
bottle of Foley’s Kidney Cure and it
has helped me more than any other
medicine. . I tried many advertised
remedies, but none of them gave me
any relief. My druggist recommended
Foley’s Kidney Cure and it has cured
me. Before commencing its use I was
in such a shape that I could hardly get
up when once down.” E. H. Miller.
The Oyster Supper.
Old Time again has brought around
The season of the year
‘When “Oyster Supper” signs upon
The church walls oft appear,
And whether for a local cause
Or heathen far away,
The oyster with prompt cheerfulness
Consents his part to play.
It matters not to him what creed
Has called on him for aid,
Nor does he care to what extent
There’s interest displayed,
For his is an elastic faith
That stretching ne’er impairs,
And though admirers round him throng
He never puts on airs.
‘When anyone prefers a stew
It’s then right up to him,
And soon within a bowl of soup
He makes his little swim.
He bobs around and dives and plays
A lot of other tricks
Until at last he’s in the spoon
And then be never kicks.
When there’s an order for a fry
He’s Johnny on the spot,
And soon appears in coat of brown
Upon a platter hot,
No matter what to him is done
He never gets annoyed,
But with rare passiveness submits
To fill an aching void.
A friendship that’s so warm and true
Deserves sincere applause,
For it includes self-sacrifice
To help religion’s cause.
Though slanderer’s ever on the watch
For characters to smirch,
It has to give the task up when
The oyster goes to church.

Big Money in Angora Goats.
E. P. Cohill, of Hancock, Md., started
an Angora goat farm two years ago
with 40 head of does on 90 acres of
ridge brush land that was almost
worthless. He now sums up results as
follows:
The Angoras killed all the under-
brush and sprouts. The result of two
years—140 head of sleek, fat Angoras
and 90 acres of land cleared that would
have cost $600, at least, to grub and
sprout it with manual labor. His son,
William J. Cohill, 14 years ot age, is the
youngest Angora goat breeder in Amer-
ica. The boy bought two does two
years ago with his penny savings. Ie
now has a flock of ten Angora does of
the best blood in America. He bought
a doe kid from the celebrated Angora
Pasha Columbia that sold for $1,050 at
Kansas City, last year, and secured at
the Kansas City Angora exhibition this
year, the great first prize Angora Buck
Prince of Lurra, valued at $1,000.

The Possibilities Ceveloped.
The success of the Disc type of
Graphophone which uses flat, inde-
structible records, is largely due to the
fact that the Columbia Phonograph
Company, pioneers and leaders in the
talking machine art has developed the
possibilities in both the machines and
the records beyond all expectations.
It was able to do this because it is the
only company in the talking machine
field having a complete laboratory and
a manufacturing plant on a broad and
comprehensive basis. Its facilities for
experimentation and for manufactur-
ing are on a very large scale. It does
not have to rely on inexperienced
manufacturers for any part of the pro-
duct it offers for sale. It makes its
own machines and its own records
from start to finish, which is a funda-
mental advantage of the first magni-
tude.
The Disc Graphophone is made in
three types, selling at $15, $20 and $30.
Seven inch records 50c each, $5 per
dozen; 10 inch records $1 each, $10 per
dozen. The Graphophone and Colum-
bia Records were awarded the Grand
Prize at the Paris Exposition of 1900.
The Columbia Phonograph Co., 815
Penn Avenue, Pittsburg, headquarters
for graphophones and talking machine
supplies of every kind, will send you
| catalogues on application. 12-11
