If you ad- vertise a little and stop, the desire stops before it starts a habit. It is habit you want to produce—the habit of reading your ads, coming to your store, 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.

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 Dise Graphophone is made in three types, selling at $15, $20 and $30. Seven inch records 50¢ 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., 615 Penn Avenue, Pittsburg, headquarters for graphophones and talking machine supplies of every kind, will send you catalogues on application. 12-11 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 aday. Two weeks’ use has made anew man of me.” Infallible for constipation, stomach and liver troubles. 25 cents at BE. H. Mill- er’s drug store. The Country Newspaper. Many men have attempted to immor- alize themselves by truthfully charac- terizing the country newspaper. The late lamented Bill Nye essayed it. He | said the country newspaper is a library, | an encyclopedia, a poem, a biography, a | history, a prophecy,a political resumen | medly of life and death, a grand aggre- gation of man’s glory and his shame— in short a birdseye view of all the good- ness and meanness, the joys and griefs, the births and deaths, the pride and | poverty of a community, to say nothing of its being a long felt want, a nine | | column paper in a five column town. But even Bill Nye’s vocabulary and descriptive powers were inadequate to do the subject ample justice, and he was forced to admit that many a coun- try editor could write a learned edi- torial on Asiatic cholera whose roller composition wasn’t fit to eat. It was the country schoolboy who, upon being asked to write a composi- tion on the country newspaper wrote: “Newspapers is called vehicles of infor- mation. Editors is men what knows everything in the heavens above and the earth beneath. They is writers who dosen’t write anything whatsoever. They is the biggest men you ever see. If ever I start a paper of my own, Ill call it the Umbrella. Everybody will take it.” Seriously, however, a well conducted country newspaper is the best instita- tion a community can have, although it is seldom appreciated at its true worth. * The weekly edition of the big daily is passing. The New York Herald dis- continued its weekly several years ago. The New York Weekly Tribune, which was once considered indispensable in so many homes, is gone, and the pub- lishers are trying to establish in its place a literary weekly and an agricul- tural paper. There is but one an- swer to the cause of its displacement in the home—the country paper has so improved that it contains all the Trib- une furnished and the local news be- sides. The ideal country weekly is a better paper than the Tribune ever was.—American Press. A Startling Surprise. Very few could believe in looking at A. T. Hoadley, a bealthy, robust black- smith of Tilden, Ind., that for ten years he suffered such tortures from Rheu- matism as few could endure and live. But a wonderful change followed his taking Electric Bitters. “Two bottles wholly cured me,” he writes, “and I have not felt a twinge in over a year.” They regulate the Kidneys, purify the blood and cure Rheumatism, Neural- gia, Nervousness, improve indigestion and give perfect health. Try them. Only 50 cents at E. H. Miller's drug store. ya Three From the Rockwood Gazette. Our friend Henry F. Cook, formerly editor of the Frostburg (Md.) Gleaner, was in Rockwood, Sunday night and Monday. He was in Somerset county looking up a newspaper opportunity. and may establish a Prohibition paper at Berlin. Mr.Cook is an able,consistent advocate of prohibition, and if the peo- ple of this county want an organ, and will give it living support, no better man than Mr. Cook can be found to conduct the business. Philip Rhoads, the man who is under sentence for manslaughter in the kill- ing of Robert Maurer in Lincoln town- ship, last summer, met with a serious accident at the Commercial hotel in Somerset,"Wednesday night. While un- der the “inflooence” of corn juice he went up to the third story of the hotel and took possession of a room belong- ing to a house guest. When the guest found his bed oceupied he reported to the office, and George Holderbaum,who was about the house, went up to bring Rhoads down. In coming, both stum- bled and fell down stairs. Rhoads had one arm broken in two places and Holderbaum was considerably burised by the alighting. There is no longer any doubt that the main line of the B. & O. railroad will be changed from Garrett east. At a point a half mile of Garrett a tunnel 1,500 feet long will be cut through the moun- tain to the Berlin branch, which is to be entirely reconstructed and double- tracked to its terminus. Thence it is to be built to the South Penn tunnel near Dividing Ridge, which is to be en- larged from 25 to 30 feet in width for accommodation of larger running equipment than was contemplated when that abortive project was con- structed. The line will be continued on through Bedford and Fulton coun- ties, to Hancock, Washington county, Md. thas bringing Pittsburg and Balti- more more than forty miles nearer than by the present route. The Ga- zette has this information from an al- most official source, and is further in- formed that the only possible interfer- ence with this plan will be the comple- tion of the entire South Penn line by the B. & O., and even that would not probably have a bearing in prevention of the project. The same authority states that the work will be completed within three years. —— 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 I 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 lin such a shape that I could hardly get | up when once down.” E. H. Miller. | AL aR A Correction. Burgess I'inegan, of Meyersdale, in- forms us that we stated in a recent is- sue that Clare Finegan was one of the | boys who assaulted Miss Sue Engle, a Meyersdale school ‘mistress, some time ago. Our informant was Esquire Levi Lichliter, and his informant was Mrs. John J. Engle, mother of Miss Sue En- gle. It appears, however, that the Finegan boy in the trouble was not Clare Finegan, but some other Fine- gan. It was, therefore, a case of mis- taken identity, and we gladly make the correction, for neither THE Star, Mr. Lichliter nor Mrs. Engle would will- fully misrepresent anyone. We are sorry the mistake occurred and beg pardon of Clare Finegan and his par- ents. , ————————— 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 housshold favorite for throat and lung troubles, and as it contains no opiates or other poisons it can be safely given. E. H. Miller. i ¥ 2 £ : * & = x
