ADVICE OF AN OLD PHILOSOPHER. “Deal With Those Who Advertise You’ll Never Regret It. Benjamin Franklin once said to a young man: “Young man, deal with those who advertise. You’ll never re- gret it.” Among the many wise and truthful sayings of the old philosopher none contain more clear cut and sober truth than the above. The man who does not hide his light under a bushel, but displays it so that all can see it, is the man deserving of patronage, while the man who remains shut up in his shell, like a mud tartle, is not worthy of it. A merchant whose stock of goods are bright, fresh and new, is the man we should always deal with, and that is the man who always uses printer’s ink freely. While the man who sits by his stove in winter, or on a box besides his door in summer, growling at the hard times, and whose store is filled with an assortment of self-worn and fly-specked goods, away behind the style, is the man who has a supreme contempt for advertising. A liberal use of the advertising columns of a newspaper donates a man of liber- al views, up with the times, and whose desire is to please his customers. In his establishment you are sure to find what you want at reasonable prices and are not compelled to put up with some antiquated article that does not satisfy you, but which you are com- pelled to accept because there is noth- ing that would suit you better in ®he store. You may not read an advertisement the first time you see it, nor the second, nor third, but when you find it stares you in the face from day to day, and from month to month, you are natur- ally led to think that a firm that is so importune in telling the people what they have to sell must be the place where it would be worth your while to call, and the result is that you do call and find it is to your advantage to do so. By their quick sales these mer- chants are enabled to quickly get rid of their stock, and are constantly re- ceiving new goods, thus keeping up with the modern styles all the time, and are thus enabled to advertise free- ly and keep the people posted on what they have to sell. : It pays to buy goods of the firm that advertises in many ways. You get better prices, because they take ad- vantage of the fluctuations of the market, by getting rid of old goods and purchasing new, and when a drop in prices occurs you always get the bene- fit of it, while the man opposed to ad- vertising keeps the same old rates. Therefore, keep the advice of the old philosopher in mind. “Always deal with those who advertise. You’ll nev- er regret it.”—Ex. Luck in Thirteen. By sending 13 miles Wm. Spirey, of Walton Furnace, Vt., got a box of Bucklen’s Arnica Salve, that wholly cured a horriblé Fever Sore on his leg. Nothing else could.

The Chicago Tribune (Republican) says ‘the recent election in the opinion of politicians of both parties, settled two things: “First. It gives the presi- dentinl nomination of 1904 to Theodore Roosevelt. Second. It makes David B. Hill, of New York, his almost certain opponent. “The detailed reports from all over the country received show that the peo- ple stood by the president and his poli- cies. The work of the Republican na- tional convention two years hence hav- ing been done for it by the voters, the only question left for the politicians to figure on is the identity of the Demo- crat who will make the battle against Roosevelt. His identity was practical- ly settled by the ballots cast on Tues- day, they making the Sage of Wolfert’s Roost the logical candidate. “The last vestige of silverism and Bryanism was swept out of existence when Colorado, Montana and possibly Nevada went Republican. It was his inability to swallow this doctrine that brought Mr. Hill into disfavor with the Democrate of the west, and his opposi- tion to the support of the silver plank by Tammany caused the estrangement between himself and the Tammany leaders.” 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. E. H, Miller. ¢ Moral Influence in Polities. Pittsburg Gazette. Judge Pennypacker’s election by so large a plurality may be accepted, in part at least, as a tribute to the high character and eminent qualifications of the man himself. Party influence and the strength of party ties contributed, of course, a large share of the result, but we are sure that the Republican candidate by the integrity and sound- ness of his life and the uprightness of his public and private record attracted to his support a very large element among the more thoughtful voters of all political faiths in the state. The most bitter opponent of the ticket dared not assail the character or question the fitness of the man who stood as its head. Indirectly, however, there were malicious efforts to fasten upon the candidate for governor a certain odium because of personal relations which antedated his nomination for governor. That they were ineffectual bears indis- putable testimony to the soundness of the average voter's judgment and his sincere respect for high character and honest simplicity of life both in public and in private. The selection of a man like Judge Pennypacker to be governor of the state of Pennsylvania is a distinct and gratifying triumph of the best moral influence in the political life of Ameri- ca. All the merely partisan and preju- diced testimony that can be adduced will not destroy the luminous fact that a party which can command the public services of men like Theodore, Roose- velt and Samuel W. Pennypacker is not without a large and saving measure of healthful moral influence. The Best Remedy for Croup. From the Atchison Kan., Daily Globe. This is the season when the woman who knows the best remedies for croup is in demand in every neighborhood. One of the most terrible things in the world is to be awakened in the middle of the night by a whoop from one of the children. The croup remedies are al- most as sure to be lost, in case of croup, as a revolver is sure to be lost, in case of burglars. There used to be an old- fashioned remedy for croup, known as hive syrup and tolu, but some modern mothers say that Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is better, and does not cost so much. It causes the patient to “throw up the phlegm” quicker, and gives re- lief in a shorter time. Give this reme- dy as soon as the croupy cough appears and it will prevent the attack. It never fails and is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by E. H. Miller. “The Woodsman’s Handbook.” WasnixgToN, D. C., Nov. 14, 1902. “The woodsman’s Handbook,” the first volume of which is now in press and is soon to be issued by the Bureau of Forestry, will be of great value to lumbermen and foresters alike. Its author, Henry S. Graves, director of the Yale Forest School, has made the attempt to collect all the rules in use in this country and Canada for finding the contents of standing timber and of logs 12, 16, and 20 feet in length of di- ameters from 6 to 60 inches. He has compared them in a series of tables and described their origin and mode of use: The Scribner, Doyle, and New Hamp- shire rules are printed in full; the rest appear in part in the comparison ta- bles. Descriptions are given of the methods of estimating standing timber in use by timber cruisers in different parts of the country, and of the method adopted by the U. 8. Department of Agriculture. The Handbook contains also an outline for a forest working plan, and descriptions of instruments of use to the woodsman. The second volume of the Handbook, which is to be published shortly after the first volume, will contain detailed directions for the study of age and growth of trees, including diameter, height, and volume growth. A most valuable feature will be a compilation of the tables of growth, yield tables, and volume tables for all the trees that have been systematically studied in this country. The defects, strength, durability, and fuel value of timber the amount of tannin bark, specifications and weights of logs, and weights of lumber will be discussed. In addition, the second volume will contain com- pound interest tables, tables for con- verting metric to English measure, and areas of circles. The Handbook may be obtained,when published, only through the Senate, the House, or the Department of Agricul- ture. retiree Will It Keep? Asking Mr. Speer about his Oporto Grape Juice he says it keeps any length of time in bottles. It is excel- lent for invalids and evening parties. THE CANDIDATE. A Well-Known Exchange Gets Off a Pun at His Expense. The following is going the rounds of the press and is credited to the Alt Ob- server. It says: “He cometh up like a flower and retireth busted. His friends fill him with false hopes and at- mosphere. He swelleth like a toad and thinks the earth his own. He smileth upon all mankind and sloppeth over with humor. He kisseth the children and scattereth his microbes among in- nocent babies. He privately cheweth a clove when he meetheth a preacher, and when he converseth with him he standeth in the leeward and curbeth his breath as with a strong bit. He goeth home late at night to his dreary wife, with beery breath and cold feet. He riseth up before time and hiketh forth before breakfast, saying, ‘I go to see a man. The deadbeat lieth in wait and pulleth his leg. He ‘naileth a lie,” but before election he runneth short of nails. He giveth liberally to the church, he subscribeth a good sum to the band, contributeth a good sum to the poor whose barn was burned, he sendeth a smaller key hither and a larger key thither; he yielded up his substance with apparent dlacrity. Af- ter the election he goeth back of the barn and kicketh himself and teareth his hair and calleth himself a fool.” Startling, But True. “If every one knew what a grand medicine Dr. King’s New Life Pills is,” writes D. H. Turner, Dempseytown,Pa., ‘you’d sell all you have in a day. Two weeks’ use has made-a new man of me.” Infallible for constipation, stomach and liver troubles. 25 cents at E. H. Mill- er’s drug store. Comie Valentine Cost a Woman a Legacy. James Becket, a farmer who had liv- ed near Camptown, Bedford county, for many years, died recently, worth $15,- 000, and left his daughter nothing but a comic valentine and the memory of a grudge fifty years old. It was the valentine which caused the grudge. Half a century ago Beck- et received it through the mails. He always accused his daugkter of sending the thing to him, and as time passed on his antipathy to her increased. He died the other day and his legacy to his daughter consisted of a small parcel, wrapped up in paper. She open- ed and found the valentine.—Everett Republican. A Thanksgiving Dinner. Heavy eating is usually the first cause of idigestion. Repeated attacks inflame the mucuos membrances lining the stomach, exposes the nerves of the stomach, producing a swelling after eating, heartburn, headache, sour ris- ings and finally catarrh of the stomach. Kodol relieves the inflammation, pro- tects the nerves and cures the catarrh. Kodol cures indigestion, dyspepsia, all stomach troubles by cleansing and sweetening the glands of the stomach. -E. H. Miller. The Railroad Problem. From Philadelphia comes the state- ment that the Pennsylvania railroad will spend $200,000,000 in the next two years in improvement on the various properties of the system. While that is an enormous sum, it is certain that the company has planned a great out- lay of money, and equally certain that a vast sum must be spent to make the road capable of handling the traffic of- fered. The congested state of freight shipments all over the country leaves no further doubt that the great work of the railroads is still ahead of them. In spite of the millions that have been laid out in increasing facilities in the last 10 years the situation steadily grows worse, for the country is devel- oping faster than the roads are able to keep up. It is reasonable to believe most of the logical rumors about new roads in Western Pennsylvania and everywhere else, because the expand- ing commerce of the country renders greatly increased railroad capacity ab- solutely essential. No one thing is responsible for the demands made upon the railroads, al- though the inereasing population is perhaps an important cause. With more people it is necessary that more houses shall be built, more farms made, more stores established, and all that means more transportation, which in turn means more railroad equipment, and that stimulates the mills again. The freight congestion is merely a sign. The United States is adding annually to its population more than the equiva- lent of a State like Kansas, and that addition must haye cities, towns, rail- roads, factories and everything neces- sary to meet its wants. Railroad ex- progresses.—Pittsburg Times, pansion will not stop while the country Tub Postoffiece is no More. Some time ago the peop’e in the vil- | lage and vicinity of Chestnut Springs | petitioned the Postoffice Department ta | change the name of their postoffice | The change has been made, the offices | now being called Springs, instead of | Tub. The first was an idiotic name te | begin with, and we cannot say that we | are stuck on the new name. There is | another thing we are not stuck on, and | that is the fact that the name of this | town is Salisbury, while our postoffice | is called Elk Lick. Down in Lancaster { county there is a postoffice called Sal isbury, and that is the reason we can- not use that name for our office. Sal- isbury postoffice in Lancaster county is in a village bearing some other name, hence the people there are an- noyed by a multiplicity of names, just as we are here. The sensible thing for our Lancaster friends to do would be to adopt some other name for their postoftice and let us have the name | Salisbury for ours. We should have the preference here, as ours is quite a good sized incorporated town, while theirs is only a very small village and | not incorporated. Our business men should at once take this matter up with the peeple of Salisbvry, Lancaster county, and we believe the Postoffice Department would gladly aid us im bringing about the much desired change. A town having a different name from its postoffice is handicapped in a great many ways. Our people are not only greatly inconvenienced and annoyed by much of their mail going to Lancaster county and being detain- ed there, but it works great injury te our borough in many other ways. It is a very rare thing to find a town the size of ours with a postoffice bearing a name different from the town, and the impression is created abroad that our borough is only a little cross roads vil- lage consisting of about a dozen houses, a store and a little workshop or twe It certainly does not speak well for our business men that they have not brought about a change in this matter long ago. It is really a shame. . Asleep Amid Flames. Breaking into a blazzing home, some firemen lately dragged the sleeping in- mates from death. Fancied security. and death near.

Miller. Price, 50 cents and $1.00. Trial bottles free. An Honest Wine Maker. It affords THE Star much pleasure to write an unsolicited testimonial for Alfred Speer’s celebrated wines. These wines are made at Passaic, N. J., where Mr. Speer has extensive vineyards of the genuine Oporto grapes, having im- ported his first grape vines from Port- ugal. He is, we are informed, the only man in America who has successfully grown the genuine Oporto grape. Mr. Speer is a scrupulously honest and up- right man, and his wines are rec- ommended by the most eminent medi- cal men throughout the country to be absolutely pure and highly beneficial to maukind. In fact Speer’s wines are manufactured principally for the medi- cal profession and for persons whe need a mild and harmless stimulant. We know a great deal of Mr. Speers life history and of his business meth- ods. He has been a patron of ours for years, and we have used his wines in our family from time to time, and al- ways with beneficial results. Speer’s wines are invaluable in cases of sick- ness, and we would not like to be with- out a few bottles of his Port and Black- berry in the house. His Burgundy and Claret are also very valuable. Wher you buy anything from the Speer N. J. Wine Co., you are not buying a vile compound of drugs that steal away your brains and ruin your health, but you get just what you pay for—the purest and finest wines in the world, mellow with age and beneficial te health. The only kind of wine Mr. Speer makes is the best that can be made at any price. A trial order will convince you. He Could Hardly Get Up. P. H. Duffy, of Ashley, Ill., writes, “This is to certify that I have taken twe 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.
