If consumptives and weakly persons can pass through March and April they are carried safe for another year at least.

Ewing, a practicing physi- cian of Smith’s Grove, Ky., for over thirty years, writes his personal ex- perience with Foley’s Kidney Cure: “For years I had been greatly bothered with kidney and bladder trouble and enlarged prostate gland. I used every- thing known to the profession without relief, until I commenced to use Foley’s Kidney Cure. After taking three bot- tles I was entirely relieved and cured. I prescribe it now daily in my practice and heartily recommend its use to all physicians for such troubles. 1 have prescribed it in hundreds of eases with perfect success.” Sold by E. H.

Some curious figures come from the state of Queensland, dealing with the gradual extinction of the harmful, um- necessary kangaroo. In the early days of settlement in the colony the squat- ters found that the resident marsu- pials had an irritating way of eating up the grass and indigenous herbage required for stock. So te government came to their assistance, and passed a measure called the marsupial de- struction act, under which rewards were offered for these animals’ scalps. This act has been renewed from time to time, and is in force at the present day. For the year ended June, 1901, scalps were brought in to the number of 1,295,748. These scalps included those of kangaroos, wallables and other marsupials, and of dingoes— sons of the primitive ‘“Yellow-Dog Dingo,” who was responsible (accord- ing to Mr. Kipling) for the deveiop- ment of the kangaroo’s hind legs. The totsl sum paid for these scalps was over $100,000. In the past tive and a half years no less than 7,316,- 843 scrips were paid for im this state. The Thrifty Dame. A story is geoing the rounds of an Irish automobilist who ram over a chicken, but did not injure it, yet gave its owner, an old woman, a sixpence. The thrifty dame thanked him pro fusely and confessed that when she wanted a pullet kiled she sent the flock into the read. “Like as not,” said she, “one of them is killed and paid tor, and 1 has my pullet in the bar sain.” RE , HOW TO MAKE MONEY.

The New-York Tribune Farmer, na- tional illustrated agricultural weekly of twenty large pages, has no superior as a thoroughly practical and helpful publication for the farmer and every member of his family, and the publish- ers are determined to give it a circula- tion unequalled by any paper of its class in the United States. Knowing that every enterprising, up- to-date farmer always reads his own local weekly newspaper, The New- York Tribune Farmer has made an ex- ceedingly liberal arrangement which enables us to offer the two papers at so low a price that no farmer can afford to lose the opportunity. The price of The New-York Tribune Farmer is $1.00 a year and THE SOMER- sET County STAR is $1.50 a year, but both papers will be sent for a full year if you f forward $1.50 to THE Star, Elk Lick, a: Yor name and address to The New-York Tribune Farmer, New York City. and a specimen copy of that paper will be mailed to you. tf Our Calendars. As per announcement of Jan. 28th, THE Star has issued an additional sup- gly of handsome art calendars. They are in two designs, one showing a hand- some street scene of our own town, the other a handsome picture of the old stone bridge one mile east of Grants- ville, Md. We printed no calendars showing Tub Mill Run Falls, as we had intended, owing to the fact that the cut we intended to use did not give satisfaction. Our calendars are fine works of art, and they are for distribution among Star subscribers only. The conditions upon which they can be obtained were stated in our issue of Jan. 28th, but we have since decided tojmodify the con- ditions somewhat, as follows: Every subscriber whose subscription is paid to date is entitled to one calendar. Subscribers in arrears must pay at least $1.00 on account in order to get one, and new subscribers must pay at least 50 cents for a three-month sub- scription. Subseribers who cannot call at our office for their calendars, must remit b cents to pay pcstage,or 10 cents if a copy of both calendars is wanted. Subscribers desiring more than one calendar, will be required to pay 10 cents for each extra copy, besides the postage, if calendars are to be sent by mail. tf iis OLD PAPERS for sale at THE Star office. They are just the thing for pantry shelves, wrapping paper and cartridge paper for the miners. Five cents buys a large roll of them. tf A GOOD COMBINATION, DIRT CHEAP. Until further notice we will give you Tae STAR and the New York Tribune Farmer, both one year, for only $1.50 cash. This offer is good to all new subscribers, also to all old ones who pay all arrears and a year in advance. The I'ribune Farmer easily stands at the head of the list cf agricultural pa- pers.
