Few people realize when taking cough medicines other than Foley’s Honey and Tar, that they contain opiates which are constipating besides being unsafe, particularly for children FFoley’s Honey and Tar contains no opiates, is safe and sure and will noi constipate.

Now that the amiable editor of the Meyersdale Republican has turned the other cheek to the ferocious editor of the Rockwood Gazette, we will see whether the latter will smite that, too. Brother Bishop gave only a very mild dish-up when he was assailed by Over- acker, the riproarious, journalistic fire- cracker. It is a Bishop's duty to stand for peace, though, and in the long run it is the best policy. Bury your little scalping knives, brethren, for both of you are good fellows. What's in a Name? Everything is in the name when it comes to Witch Hazel Salve. E. C. De- Witt & Co., of Chicago, discovered, some years ago, how to make a salve from Witch Hazel that is a specific for Piles. For blind, bleeding, itzhing and protruding Piles, eczema, cuts, burns, bruises and »ll skin diseases DeWitt’s Salve has no equal. This has given rise to numerous worthless counter- feits. Ask for DeWitt’s—the genuine E. H. Miller. Last Sunday the editor of this great family comforter was 39 years old. The eyent was celebrated by having a fine turkey and oyster dinner, with all the usual trimmings, frills and side issues thrown in. We had as guests Mr. and Mrs. Chas. F. Sollenberger and Mr. John O.Johnston, the genial printer, clerk and all-around good fellow. We enjoyed the day immensely, but hardly think we well be here to celebrate our bir hd :y 3 years hence. But what’s the diff?” So long as we live we’ll be Livengood, anyway. — It will be good news to the mothers of small children to learn that croup can be prevented. The first sign of croup is hoarseness. A day or two be- fore the attack the child becomes hoarse. This is soon followed by a pe- culiar rough cough. Give Chamber- lain’s Cough Remedy freely as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even after the rough cough appears, and it will dispel all symptoms of croup. In this way all danger and anxiety may be avoided. This remedy is used by many thousands of mothers and has never been known to fail. It is, in fact, the only remedy that can always be de- pended upon and that is pleasant and safe to take. Forsale by E. H. Miller. 12-25 a. The special edition of the Scientific American, devoted to Transportation on Land and Sea, cannot fail to attract widespread interest, both because of the very handsome manner in which it is gotten up and on account of the voluminous amount of information that 1t contains. It is safe to say that anyone that reads it carefully through will find himself thoroughly posted both as to the magnitude and high quality of our railroads and shipping. The Scientific American has its own characteristic way of presenting what some people might call dry statistical matter in an interesting form, and the present number is no exception to the rule. Both artist and editor have collaborated to certainly very good effect, and we believe the number will meet everywhere with a « reception. hearty | This is the season of the year when the prudent and careful housewife re- plenishes her supply of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. It is certain to be needed before the winter is over, and results are much more prompt and sat- isfactory when it is kept at hand and given as soon as the cold is contracted and before it has become settled in the system. In almost every instance a severe cold may be warded ofl by tak- ing this remedy freely as soon as the first indication of the cold appears. There is no danger in giving it to chil- dren for it contains no harmful sab- stance. It is pleasant to take—both adults and children like it. Buy it and you will get the best. It always cures. IFor sale by E. H. Miller. 12-25 BE —— Mr. Eii Miller, the well known under- taker and planing mill man of near Grantsville, Md., died very suddenly on Thursday, December 11th, aged 63 years, 9 mouths and 20 days. He is survived by an invalid wife and three children. The funeral took place at Springs, Pa., last Saturday, Rey. D. H. Bender officiating. Deceased was a member of the Mennonite church and a son of the late Joel Miller, Sr. He was a man of great good nature and noted for his natural mechanical ability and general usefulness in the com- munity where he lived all his life. We are informed that on the day of his deach he took a casket to thelate home of Mrs. Thomas Stanton, who had died, and shortly after putting {Le body into the casket he walked out on the porch of the house and dropped dead. A large circle of friends and relatives mourn his death. STowin rt es A Million Voices. Could hardly express the thanks of Homer Hall, of West Point, Ia. Lis- ten why: A severe cold had settled on his lungs, causing a most obstinate cough. Several physicians said he had consumpiion, but could not help him. When all thought he was doomed he began to use Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption, and writes—*"it com- pletely cured me and saved my life. I now weigh 227 Ibs.” It’s positively guar- anteed for Coughs, Colds and Lung troubles. Price 50c and $1.00. Trial bottles free at E. H. Millers drug store. ried aes As usual the people will buy the bulk of their Christmas goods from the liberal and progressive firms that ad- vertise in the local paper. Some dull people prefer to advertise in a sheet printed in another town, but, of course, expect the local editor and his friends to spend all their money at home, not forgetting to leave some of it with the unfair fellows who do not advertise in the home paper, but spend their money for advertising in outside sheets that do not cover the local field half as well as the locsl jpaper covers it. Gentle- men, THE 8Srar is a greater benefit to Salisbury than all the out- side sheets combined. It does more for the good of the town and its busi- ness interests than any other ageney can do. We do not care how many newspapers or other organs you advertise in, just 80 you advertise in your home paper, which is your first duty. The local paper is the one people consult to get a correct idea of our town and its business houses. Men do not hunt up outside sheets to learn who the progressive business men of Salisbury are. The home paper is con- sulted first and foremost by the people you expect to draw trade from, and those people take the paper because they want it, subscribe for it and look for it eagerly every week. a Lise Graphophones and Flat Records. Perfection in Disc Graphophones and Flat Records was quickly achieved bv the Columbia Phonograph Company, the pioneers and leaders in the talking machine art, when it demonstrated the wonderful possibilities of the flat in- destructible records. . Up to that time nothing important had been accom- plished. The machines were faulty and the records were not in the same class with the cylindrical records used on the graphophone. A knowledge of how to make disc records and the proper material of which to make then seemed to be entirely lacking. The wide experience of the record depart- ment of the Columbia Phonograph Company enabled it to grasp the true principles underlying the making of disc records, and the first product was a great deal better than anything that had been accomplished by others. With the lapse of time the improve? placed the Columbia Disc Records far in advance of all others. They are characterized by smoothness, sweet- ness, clearness and naturalness. And while preserving all these desirable qualities they are the loudest records on the market. The Disec Graphophone is made in Records were awarded the Grand Prize at the Paris Exposition of 1900.
