Foley’s Kidney Cure

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.

Roosevelt's Second Term.
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.

“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.

Grape Juice he says it keeps any

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.

medicine Dr. King’s New Life Pills is,”

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.

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,

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. .

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.
