SERIOUS HEART DIS-
EASE IS CURABLE.
The Eminent Specialist, Dr. Franklin Miles,
Succeeds After 5 to 30 Physicians Fail.
$2.50 WORTH OF TREATMENT FREE.
Heart diseases which a few years
ago were incurable now readily yield
to treatment. Short breath, pain in
the side, oppression in the chest, palpi-
tation. smothering spells, weak or ir-
regular pulse, puffing of the ankles or
dropsy, whether complicated with
stomach, liver and nervous troubles or
not. ean be speedily relieved and soon
cured. Dr. Miles will give a $2.50
course of treatment free, to prove the
truth of hisstatement. His trertments
have the great advantage of being
specially prepared to suit each patient.
These Treatments are the result of 25
years of close study, careful research
and extraordinary success. They are
far in advance of the medicines used by
the ordinary doctor and few show such
faith in their remedies. Every sufferer
should take advantage of this opportu-
nity before it is too late.
Hon. John Gates, Ex-Representative of
Iowa, after 10 years of suffering from heart,
stomach, and bladder troubles, says: “I
lose no opportunity to advocate Dr. Miles’
Special Treatment. I am better now than
for ten years, which I attribute solely to his
skillful treatment.”
Mrs. Mary A. Bradeen, of Rapids, Me.,
writes: “I consider your heart treatment
worth its weight in gold to me. You have
saved my life after others failed.”
Philip Metz, of Jackson Center, O., re-
ports: “I had heart trouble for 15 years and
was very near death’s door when I com-
menced your Special Treatment. 1 now
feel well and work every day.”
Mrs. August Kronck,of Huntington, Ind.,

BEHOLD THE FAKE.
Are These Men a Fair Representa-
tion of the Citizens of Salisbury?
| The So-Called Citizens’ Caucus was
Controlled by Socialists and
Strikers.
It will be remembered that early in
the present municipal campaign, THE
Star advocated a citizens’ caucus, but
only on condition that peither a Re-
publican nor a Democratic party cau-
cus be held. . The paper and the best
citizens of the town were in favor of
| laying politics aside, and recommended
that the Republican and Democratic
committeemen jointly issue a call for a
caucus of all the citizens. which would
have meant the nomination and elec-
tion of the very best men we have in
the town, regardless of what party they
affiliate with.
That would have been the best and
most sensible thing to do for the good
of the town, and the Republican com-
mitteeman was perfectly willing to
meet the Democrats half way in the
matter. However, the Democrats
were unfortunate in having for com-
mitteemen two men whom the sub-
stantial, sensible element of their party
could not control. In other words, one
of the Democratic committeemen is a
striker and semi-Socialist, while the
other conducts a pool and billiard
room that is mainly supported by the
rough element of the community, and
also seems to be strike headquarters.
It is therefore easy to understand why
the two Democratic committeemen did
not favor a citizens’ caucus to be par-
ticipated in by many of the property
owners and better class of people.
They simply wanted to stick to the
gang that they are traveling with, and
the only kind of a citizens’ caucus they
wanted was one that the strike and
Socialist element of our citizenship
could control.
That kind of a citizens’ caucus is a
misnomer. In reality it is the worst
and most corrupt form of peanut ring
politics. It is a bold attempt of an ir-
responsible, shiftless, disgruntled class
of people to run the town, while the
great bulk of the taxes comes from the
pockets of other people. You need not
take Tur Srtar’s word for this, but
learn the truth by reading the names
of those who signed the nomination
papers of the missnamed Citizens’ party.
Following we give you a complete list
of them, as filed in the office of the
County Commissioners:
I. M. Rayman, John Shunk, Asa
Newman, Henry Smearman, H. F.
Fogle, J. N. Tressler, Chas. May,
Thomas Eckerd, Bruce Price, John
Seeders, Frank Swartzwelder,Ira Price,
J. C. Balliet, Luther Anderson, G. C.
Hay, Wm. Cochrane, Newton Lenhart.
Lawrence Wagner, Green Showalter.
Frank Newman, Nelson Garlitz, C. T.
Hay, Wilson Hawn, Frank G. Thomas,
Norman Newman, Henry Schramm,
Wm. Kyle, W. D. Thompson, Wm.
Frye, C. L. Musser, George B. Walker,
P. M. Wahl, John Walker, 8. R. Me-
Kinley, Ira Hay, C. W. Stotler.
There you have all of the 38 signers
of the nomination papers. and the en-
tire number in attendance at the cau-
cus was 46, not including a few specta-
tors and reporters for THE STAR. One
of the chief orators of the caucus was
Grant Dean. D. F., and the principal
active members that did not sign the
nomination papers were Arthur Emer-
ick, Sam Horchler, Roscoe Conkling
Welfley and a few others of that class.
We doubt whether Sam and “Artie”
can write their names, and that may
be the reason that they didn’t sign.
Roscoe is a very weak sister ever
since he made a monkey of himself
last year by indulging in the foolhardy
attempt to unseat a regularly elected
Republican county chairman, and con-
sequently was afraid to sign his name
to a paper setting forth that he is a
member of the Citizens’ party or policy,
to which he belongs, just the same, and
aspires to be the chief bell wether
thereof. 2
But let us return te the 38 signers of
the nomination papers. What do we
find? We find that just about an even
half of the signers do not own a dollar’s
worth of property, hence pay no taxes
worth mentioning. Of the others that
do own property, most of them own it
only by proxy, and have it well plas-
tered with mortgages. We also find in
the aggregation a “smart aleck” from
Gravel Hill that through his own folly
and bull-headedness contracted smail-
pox, last year, and needlessly carried
it to Salisbury, where it spread and put
the town deeply in debt, to say nothing
of almost ruining innocent people fi-
nancially, as well as marring their per-
sonal appearance for life.
Furthermore, of the 38 signers, 24
tirely out of place. At least 15 of the
signers are Socialists, only 10 or 11 are
Democrats, and about 12 are sorehead
Republicans, who for the most part
have strong Socialist leanings.
We appeal to the solid, substantial,
debt-paying citizens of this town,
whether renters or property owners,
and we ask in all seriousness: Can
you afford to support a ticket nomi-
nated by such a crowd? We will ad.
ANYWAY, isn’t Russia a peach of a

none to lay aside. Russia is only a big

ticket; but honestly, now, take the |
crowd at that caucus as a whole, and
the ticket nominated as a whole, and
see whether you can find it in your
heart to say that it is made up of the
class of men that properly represent
the solid, substantial citizenship of this
borough. .
Take from the list of nomination pa-
per signers such “peaches” and “plums”
as Hen Smearman, John Seeders, Bill
Cochrane, Newt Lenhart, Green Sho-
walter, Frank Newman, Nels Garlitz,
Wils Hawn, Grant Dean, Norm New-
man, Bill Kyle, Bil Frye, Geo. B.
Walker, Stephe McKinley and others
among them of the same class, and it
will not take you long to count the re-
maining ones.
It is now up to the people to say with
their ballots, on Feb. 21st, whether
such a crowd is to control the destinies
of this town and run the affairs of this
borough into the ground, which js
exactly what will be done if a gang of
Socialists and strikers are permitted to
win out at the polls.

GRAVE TROUBLE FORESEEN.
It needs but littie foresight, to tell.
that when your stomach and liver are
badly affected, grave trouble is ahead,
unless you take the proper medicine
for your disease, as Mrs. John A.
Young, of Clay, N. Y., did. She says:
“I had neuralgia of the liver and
stomach, my heart was weakened, and
I could not eat. I was very bad fora
long time, but in Electric Bitters. I

HOW TO MAKE COWS PAY.
A Stoystown Man Gives Record
That’s Interesting.
Mr. J. E. Giffin, of Stoystown, has
demonstrated the value of a well cared-
for cow by a carefully kept record,
which he has kindly given to the Stand-
ard, thinking that it may be interest-
ing to its readers. His cow is a solid
red hornless animal, six years old, and
weighing 1370 pounds. His record is
from February 18th, 1904, to December
20th of the same year. Her daily feed
consisted of this mixture: 215 pounds
oats and corn chop, 215 pounds B. bran,
2 pounds wheat midlings. This was
equally divided into two feeds—314
pounds in the morning and the same
amount in the evening. In addition to
this the cow was given 36 pounds of
good hay each day, and 2!5 pounds of
ear corn at noon. The cow was in
pasture from May 18th to November
18th, and during that period the noon
meal of corn was omitted.
During the period first mentioned,
the cow gave 5974 quarts of milk, at 5
cents a quart—$298.70. Her calf was
sold for $20.00, making a total of $318.-
70. Against this the expense is figured
as follows: 2114 pounds of chop at
$1.50 per hundred, $31.71 ; 305 pounds of
corn at one cent per pound, $3.05:
4392 pounds of hay at 60 cents per
hundred, $26.85; six months grazing at
$1.50 per month, $9.00. This makes a
total expense of $70.11, which being de-
ducted from the receipts as shown
above, shows the net gain to be $248.59.
And yet, Mr. Giffin says, some people
say it doesn’t pay to give much atten-
tion to cows.—Somerset Standard.
Great Number of Catholics.

church in America bas just been issued,

lics in the United States of 12,462,000.

Sensible Utterances of a Prominent
Burgess.
WEsT CHESTER, Pa., Feb. 5.
Burgess Charles H, Pennypacker ad-
dressed a large audience in the Y. M.
C. A. to-day on “The Divinity in Man™
A large audience, including many wom-
en, heard the municipal oracle give
vent to epigrdmmatic wisdom.
In the course of his address the Bur-
gess said: “A clean body, a clean mind
and a clean heart are all for God's
glory. Don’t concern yourselves about:
the devil or about original sin. They
both have an ancient history. Con-
demn no man’s creed; question ne
man’s belief.
“It is a fortunate circumstance that
we do not all see alike. Search for the
good in every human being. It is
there; find it. Take men for what they
are. Don’t sit in judgment. Don’
fear criticism; it may be just the
treatment needed. Veneration, grati-
tude and respect are the gems of child-
hood; passion and ambition are the
temptations of mature years.
“If all the Christians of Pennsylvania
would join hands, hearts and votes for
cleaner methods, there would be am
end of rebates in morality and religion.
Christianity would not have to be
filtered before it could be used.”
Consoling.
A minister was moved by the grief
of u husband whose wife was to be
buried, and sought to commiserate him
in the following manner: “My brother,
I know that this is a great grief which
has overtaken you, and though you are
compelled to mourn the loss of this one
who was your companion in life, ©
would console you with the assuranee
that there is another who sympathizes
with you and seeks to embrace you im
the arms of unfailing love.” To this
the bereaved man replied by asking, as
he gazed through tears at the minister's
face. “What’s her name?”’—Ex.
