The Well-Known Specialist, Frank- lin Miles, M. D., LL. B., Send His Book and $2.50 Worth of His Personal Treatment Free to any Reader. There never was a better opportunity for persons suffering from diseases of the heart, nerves, liver, stomach and kidneys to test, free, a remarkably suc- cessful Treatment for these disorders. Dr. Miles is known to be a leading spec- ialist in these diseases and his liberal offer is certainly worthy of serious con- sideration by every afflicted reader. This opportunity may never occur again His system of Personal Treatment is thoroughly scientific and immensely superior to other methods. It includes several new remedies carefully selected to suit each individual case and is the final result of twenty-five years of very extensive research and great success in treating these diseases. Each treatment consists of a curative elixir, tonic tablets, eliminating pills and usually a plaster. Extensive sta- tistics clearly demonstrate that Dr. Miles Personal Treatment is at least three times as successfull as the usual treatment of physicians or general rem- edies sold at the stores. Col. E. B. Spileman of the 9th United States Regulars, located at San Diego, Cal, says, “Dr. Miles’ Special Treatment has worked wonders in my son’s case when all else failed. 1 had employed the best medi- cal talent and had spent $2,000 in doing so. I believe he is a wonderful specialist. Icon- sider it my duty to recommend him.” “For rears I had severe trouble with my stomach, ead, neuralgia, sinking spells and dropsy. Your treatment entirely cured me.” Mr. Julius Keister, of 350 Michigan Ave- nue, Chicago, testifies that Dr. Miles cured him after ten able physicians had failed. Mrs. R. Trimmer of Greenspring, Pa., was cured after many physicians had pronounc- ed her case “hopeless.” As all afflicted readers may have his Book and $2.50 worth of Treatment especially adapted to their case free, we would advise them to send for it before it is too late.

Tuk following may not be orthodox religion, but it is truly one of the best brands ever advocated in this country by any sect, and it even comes from Kansas: “I don’t want a member of this congregation to give to home mis- sions or any other cause,” said a Hia- watha clergyman, the other Sunday, in his sermon, “if he owes the buteber, the grocer, the general dealer or the printer.

MucH noise is being made these days concerning the “Oleo Trust,” and most of it is mere buncombe. As for us and our house, we would prefer to see the unfair Grout law repealed, and further- more, we would like to see all taxa- tion, licenses, ete., removed from the manufacture and sale of oleomargarine. It is all right to have a law compelling the manufacturers and dealers to sell their product for what it really is, but it is not right to pass laws calculated to make oleomargarine as expensive as possible, Oleomargarine is the poor man’s butter, and the manufacta.ers should be allowed the same rights and privileges as are extended to the man- ufacturers of dairy butter, who can color their product with impunity and gell old, stinking, partly decomposed jar butter that the selling of should be made a crime punishable by a fine and imprisonment. Half of the country butter sold in Salisbury is so rank as to be detrimental to the public health, and yet we must pay top-notch prices for such decomposed animal matter, simply because oleo, which tastes good and is not injurious to health, cannot be handled profitably in a town of this size, owing to the high license required for its sale. Away with class legisla- tion. Give us oleo free from taxation, which will be a benefit to the many, and which will drive bad dairy butter out of the market, but will never be able to reduce the price of good, clean, sweet dairy butter a particle. The present oleo laws are a detriment to the poor and a help only to those who are thus enabled to sell rotten dairy butter for as high a price as the manu- facturer of good dairy butter gets for his product. Give us more and cheaper oleo, and less of the kind of axle grease that isn’t half as good. WONDERFUL NERVE. Is displayed by many a man endur- ing pains of accidental Cuts. Wounds, Bruises.

A committee was appointed to call upon the editors, demanding the suppression of such ad- vertisements.—Oakland Republican. The action of the aforesaid minister- ial association is silly in the extreme, and the wonder is that such a fool res- olution could ever be adopted by =a body of which a majority, at least, ought to be composed of reasonable, sensible and intelligent men. If the preachers in the aforesaid association carry out their resolution, they will have to boycott nearly every high class newspaper and magazine in the United States, for nearly every one of them carries liquor advertisements at times, and most of them carry such adver- tisements all the time. Such adver- tisements serve a right good purpose, too, for they keep many an old deacon, class leader and even preachers out of the saloons, where their presence would have a bad effect on the morals of a community. Many pious old fellows like to take a “snifter” once in a while or oftener, and for that class the liquor advertisements are a good thing, for they enable old Mr. Deacon or old Mr. Elder to get his booze without attract- ing any attention from the common kerd. The pious man hag only to send a mail order, and the advertiser usual- ly instructs him just how to go about it to receive his booze in a plain, sealed package, with no marks to show the contents. Now, isn’t that handy? And isn’t it much better than for a pious man to sneak around to a saloon, like a skulking poltroon, or to send a friend to the inn to buy him gin? Anyway, the Wilkesbarre preachers ought to undertake something that they can do, for all the boycotting they can do will not keep intelligent and up- to-date people from patronizing the newspapers and magazines, whether they contain liquor advertisements or not. In fact most people would rather patronize the press than the pulpit, these days, and there are reasons for it- One reason is because there is not enough attention paid to preaching the Simon-pure, old-fashioned gospel, and too much to church merchandising and the petty affairs of life that the Chris- tian ministry should steer clear of. Another reason is the fact that too many preachers (for revenue only) preach to their members to hear. with AT the things they ought ickle their ears prin the a + By a resolution adopted by the Min- | py to all of Sheir number. not 1} 10t enoug 2 of | are as go TO OUR PATRONS. | Beginning of Volume No. 11—A Glance at the Past and the Future. Friends and patrons, with this issue of THE Star we begin volume No. 11, and we deem it in order to take a glance backward as well as forward at this time, commenting on our past la- bors in this community as well as the outlook for the paper's career in the future. As we look back over the ten years of our newspaper career in this town, we look back over ten years of exceed- ingly hard labor, drudgery and toil that | tried hard our mind, soul and body. They have been ten years of hustle | and sleepless nights, and many were the obstacles and aggravations in our! way that had to be overcome if the pa- per was to be kept alive and made to yield a fair profit on the investment. While we have not made a fortune out of the business, nor even as much as we believe we could have made in many other avenues of trade with half the amount of energy expended. yet we have done fairly well; and it af- fords us much pleasure to state that we enter upon the eleventh year of our work with much brighter prospects for profitable returns than any previous year of the paper’s existence. We also feel proud to state that the year just ended has been the most profitable year the paper has yet passed through. This, in spite of the fact that it has been our most trying year, owing to the great coal strike in this region, to- gether with its many unpleasant and unavoidable antagonisms, we regard as phenomenal. Owing to the strike, THE Star and its editor have been confronted with many unpleasant and difficult prob- lems during the past year—problems which could not be ignored by any self-respecting, fearless newspaper that has the greatest good to the greatest number of people at heart, and that believes in law and order, the pro- tection of life and property. and the peaceful pursuit of men in quest of happiness and their daily bread. In dealing with these trying issues, Tue Star has been outspoken, and we have no apology to offer for being on the side of law and order at all times. We have spoken our sentiments, we have done our duty as we understood it, and we have taken neither orders nor bribe from any man. Of course, we have been criticised and abused by people who can see but one side of a question at a time; but the Saviour of mankind also had ecriti- cism to contend with. Some of our enemies have even threatened to kill us, but that does not discourage us in the least, for bad men killed the Sa- viour, and we should not shrink from death, of which Christ has tasted for us all. Owing to a spirit of narrow-minded- ness and intolerance, some of the strik- ers have had their subscriptions can- celed ; but in spite of that fact our sub- scription list hag been more than hold- ing its own, right along, and today THE Star has a larger number of bonafide subscribers than ever before. Most of the men who quit us have paid all they owed us, thus quitting like bonorable men, and we bear them no ill will whatever. New men have been moving into the region and adding their names to our list, and those taken off have never yet been missed. The quitters, in some cases, at least, have lost more than we have by their course. Besides, they all read the paper, anyway, which puts them to the inconvenience of borrowing, and who goes borrowing goes sorrowing. Tue STAR was loyal to the strikers when the strike was declared, and its influence and support was on their side as long as the law was respected and obeyed by all its members. But when company houses began to go up in smoke, when men were shot and beaten for going to work, when boycotts were threatened and all sorts of intimida- tion made use cf, then THE STAR felt that it was time to forsake the sinking ship of unionism in this region and get on the side of law and order. And we are not sorry that we did so, either, and we have neither apologies nor re- grets to offer. We did the right thing for the sake of right, and we are thor- oughly convinced that it was the best stroke of business policy we ever made. We find that we have the great bulk of the solid, substantial, debt-paying, property-owning citizens with us more solidly than we ever dreamed of a year ago. Tue STARis not an enemy to the miners, and it does not charge all the depredations committed by the strikers bad und foolish ones in check, and as & natural consequence the guilty ones have been causing the innocent ones te sufer with them. Furthermore, the whole of them have been cursed with worthless and unprincipled leaders from abroad. Had good sense, good conduct and good counsel prevailed, this whole region today would be working for the same price paid to the George’s Creek miners. But the beer- guzzlers from other states, who had charge of the strike, didn’t want a set- tlement and a resumption of work as much as they wanted a strike. It hag been a fine thing for MeCullough, Morgan, Mark Smith and a few others, but it has been very hard on the poor miners, out of whose pockets it must all be paid for. While the pre®et strike has long ago been lost, hopelessly lost, let us hope that during the coming year there will be a closer brotherhood betweem employer and employe. Let us hope that labor conditions will improve, that wages will advance, that peace, good will and prosperty will return to all who by their good principle and good conduct shall deserve it. THE Star ic a friend of labor ; a warm, true, staunck friend. It has been more loyal to the 1 boring men of this region, and has ited them much more fairly and squarely than it has ever been treated by the majority of the union minere who have been and are still patroniz- ing the paper. If all of them would pay us what they owe us, it would amount to the price of many, many cars of coal. They want their pay every two weeks, and always get it, too, when they work; but many of them want us to wait years and years for our money, get “huffy” when asked for it, and then have the impudence te call around and tell us just what we must print, what we dare not print, whom we may talk to and whom we must not talk to. Had we complied with all the fool suggestions, demands and commands laid down to us during the past year by union miners, our business would today be a wreck and THE STAR com- pletely out of business. But as mat- ters are, we are still doing business at the old stand, thanks to having acted on our own best judgment and the die- tates of our own conscience, which is perfectly clear. We feel very thankful to the busi- mess men who have been giving us their advertising and job printing pat- ranage, and we feel that we have serv- ed them well and patronized them very liberally in return. Some have not ad- vertised as liberally as they should ad- vertise, but that has been a loss te them as well as to us. As to THE STaAR’s loyalty to Salisbury and vicinity, and its loyalty to its true and valued friends. we feel that we have done our whole duty, as we un- derstood it,or as our ability enabled us to perform it. May the year 1805 be a most pros perous one for our whole community, and may we all so live that when we quit life’s fitful scenes forever, that we may lay down our burdens “Like one that wraps the drapery of his couch About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.” Still Jumping on Parker. Some of Parker’s old newspaper sup- porters are still jumping on that un fortunate person. One of them points out that in the “thirteen Southern states, including Maryland, in which Parker electors were chosen, the total vote was 2,033,226,” while in the “thirty- two states, excluding Maryland, ic which Roosevelt electors were chosen, the total vote was 11,475,270.” Thus, while Parker got 34 per cent. of the electors, his states was only 15 per cent. of the total popular vote. Park- er’s aggregate plurality in the thirteen Southern states was only 25,000 more than Roosevelt’s plurality in Pennsyl- vania. This is a bad showing for Parker. It would be still worse if Maryland had been counted for the Republicans as a plurality of its voters intended it should be. TONIC TO THE SYSTEM. For liver troubles and constipation there is nothing better than DeWitt’: Little Early Risers, the famous little Pills. They do not weaken the stomack. Their action upon the system is mild pleasant and harmless. Bob Moore, of LaFayette, Ind., says. “No use talking. DeWitt’s Little Early Risers do their work.
