‘Moving Your
~ Merchandise!
Advertising creates a desire. Gratifying that desire starts a
habit.
If you dou’t advertise at all, no desire is created. 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. Take advantage of
this habit by giving the people your store news through its col-
umns.
When can we talk this over with you?

Desirable Real Estate For Sale.
THE Star is agent for the sale of a
very desirable piece of real estate locat-
ed 3 miles east of the thriving town of
Salisbury. Said real estate consists of
about 72 acres of land, part of which is
in a fair state of cultivation, and part
covered with a large amount of timber
suitable for mine props and ties. A
very thick vein of most excellent lime-
stone, easy of access, is opened on the
land, as well as a vein of the finest pav-
ing stone to be found anywhere. The
famous Findlay Spring,one of the finest
pure water springs in all Somerset
county, having a volume of water suf-
ficient to supply a town of several
thousand inhabitants, is also located on
this land, and the spring alone is worth
a handsome sum of money. There is
also a fine bearing young apple orchard
on the place, and a good, new two-story
residence and suitable outbuildings.
The place can be bought at a very
reasonable price, or will trade same for
desirable town property. For terms
and further particulars, call on or ad-
dress THE Star, Elk Lick, Pa. tf
The Possibilities Developed.
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.

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.

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.
