Croup is quickly relieved, and
Whooping Cough will not “run its
course” if you use the original Bee's
Laxative Honey and Tar. This Cough
Syrup is different from all others be- |
eause it acts on the bowels. You can
pot cure Croup and Whooping Cough
until you rid the system of all conges-
tion, by working off the cold through a |
eopious action of the bowels. Bee’s |
Laxative Honey and Tar does this, and |
cures all Coughs, Croup, W hooping | |
Cough, etc. No opiates. Sold by Elk |

Ten years ago a farmer put his initials
on a dollar, went to town and spent it
with a merchant. Before the year was
out he got the dollar back. Four times
in six years the doliar came back to
him for produce, and three times he
heard of it in the pockets of his neigh-
bors. The last time he got it four years
ago, he sent it to a mail order house.
He has not xeen that dollar since, and
never will. That dollar will never pay
any more school or road tax for him,
will never build up any or brighten the
homes of the cummunity. He sent it
entirely out of the circle of usefulness
to himself.
The old “Betsy” Wagner house is
being pulled down this week to make
room for an handsome residence to be
erected by C. R. Haselbarth. The old
building was sold to “Bennie” Wagner,
who will use the lumber in the erec-
tion of a new work shop. The old
house was built about 56 years ago,
prior to which time most houses in this
community were built of logs. Nearly
all of the old log houses have been
pulled down and replaced by frame
and brick structures, but a few of them
still remain and are in a fair state of
preservation. The oldest house in
Salisbury is the one occupied by Bur-
gess Livengood. The old “Betsy”
Wagner house was one of the first
frame buildings to be erected in Salis-
bury, and many years ago the late
John Glotfelty and the editor’s father
conducted a general store in it.
Backache is never known to those
persons who take an oceasional dose of
Pineules. The value of the resin ob-
tained from the Pine tree has long been
recognized in the treatment of diseases
of the bladder and kidneys. One dose
of Pineules will .give relief, and one
bottle will cure. Sold by Elk Lick
Supply Co. 6-1
In a village “back yonder” on the
pike an old deacon, in shaving himself
on Sunday prior to church time, made
a slight cut with the razor on the ex-
treme end of his nose. Quickly calling
his wife, he asked her if she had any
courtplaster in the house. “You will
find some in my sewing basket,” she
said. Finding it, he soon had the cut
covered, and at church, in assisting
with the collection, he noticed every
one smile as he passed the plate, and
some of the younger people laughed
outright. Very much annoyed, he
asked one of his assistants if there was
anything wrong with his appearance.
“Why, I should say there was,” an-
swered the assistant. “What is that
upon your nose?” “Courtplaster, of
course.” “Why. no,” said his friend,
“that is the Inbel from a spool of cot-
ton, reading, ‘Warranted 200 yards
long.” ”
It is generally known that Great Salt
Lake, which in its line has but one
rival, the Dead Sea of Palestine, is
gradually drying up; but it may not be
so generally known that there is expert
opinion which affirms that our Salt
Lake is certain to disappear within the
lifetime of people who are now in their
thirties, even of some now in their for-
ties. Nay, more, there are scientists
who have made careful studies of the
fluctuations of the lake during the past
several years, and who declared that it
will be practically dried up within a
quarter of a century. During the past
eighteen years there has been a total
fall of considerably over twelve feet.
and the water now in the north arm,
the deepest part of the lake, is now less
than forty feet in depth. Three causes
have been assigned for the shrinkage
of depth: evaporation, irrigation, and a
subterranean outlet. There are ardent
advocates of each of these theories.

It is difficult to cure a cough or free
yourself from the discomforts of a cold
unless you move the bowels. Bee's
Laxative Honey and Tar acts on the
bowels and drives all cold cut of the
system. Then comes its soothing effect
and strengthening influence upon the
throat and lungs. For Croup, Whoop-
ing Cough, Colds, and all Lung amd-
Bronchial affections, no remedy is
equal to the original Laxative Honey
and Tar. Sold by Elk Lick Supply
Co. 6-1
Some idea of the peculiar notions
our foreign population have of our laws
can be gleaned from a story hailing
from one of the towns in the southern
part of the county. A short time ago
led,
a couple called at the office of a justice
of the peace and made application for
a marriage license. The Justice filled
| out the usual application and forward-
ed it to Register Charles C. Shafer, who
returned the license promptly. After
lifting and paying for the license, the
| apparently happy couple went on their
way rejoicing, but to the utter surprise
| of the Justice, the bridegroom return-
the other day, and wanted his
money back. When the officer asked
him why he wanted to do that, he re-
plied: “Me live with woman four days
and no like her. Me want money
back.” This request was refused, and
the son of sunny Italy cannot yet un-
derstand why the usual bargain
counter privileges do not extend to the
matrimonial market.—Somerset Stand-
ard.
Last week the Court issued to M. D.
Thomas a Constable’s commission. No
one was elected to that office at the
last borough election, »s the vote was a
tie between Mr. Thomas and John J.
Walker. Both of the candidates peti-
tioned to court shortly after the elec-
tion, each trying to land the office for
himself. The knowing ones, of course,
declared that the Court would appoint
peither of the applicants, but they
didn’t know as much as they pretended
to know, and that’s usually the way
with blowhards. The majority of the
best people of this town had no fears at
any time that Mr. Thomas would not
be appointed, as he had far the stronger
petition of the two. and most of our
substantial citizens voted for him at
the polls. The other fellow’s support-
ers were principally striking miners
and a few others who have unjust
personal grudges at Mr. Thomas. M,
D. has served as Constable before, and
he proved himself a very good officer
in that capacity. Mr. Walker also
served us Constable one term, but his
official record during the past year was
not such as to enable him to retain his
former great popularity with the sub-
stantial citizens of the town.
CHEATED DEATH.
Kidney trouble often ends fatally,
but by choosing the right medicine, E.
H. Wolf, of Bear Grove, Iowa, cheated
death. He says: “Two years ago I
had Kidney Trouble, which caused me
great pain, suffering and anxiety, but I
took Electric Bitters, which effected a
complete cure. Ihave also found them
of great benefit in general debility and
nerve-trouble, and keep them constant-
ly on hand, since, as I find they have
no equal.” E. H. Miller, the druggist,
guarantees them at 50c. 5-1
Railroad Improvements at Roek-
wood.
A new machine shop is to be built at
Rockwood by the B. & O. The struc-
ture will be 40 by 75. feet in size and
will have one track for engines. The
building will be equipped with lathes
and other up-to-date machinery for ex-
tensive repairs on engines and cars, and
this will require the employment of
several additional machinists. An oil
and sand house is also to be construct-
ed. The Rockwood depot is to be
overhauled, painted and supplied with
a basement heater and other modern
appliances. It is reliably stated that
not less than $200,000 bas been appro-
priated for B. & O. improvements in
Rockwood, according to various news-
paper reports.
A TRIED AND TRUE | FRIEND.
One Minute Cough Cure contains not
an atom of any harmful drug, and it
has been curing Coughs, Colds, Croup
and Whooping Cough so long that it
has proven itself to be a tried and true
friend to the many who use it. Mrs.
Gertrude E. Fenner, Marion, Ind.
gays: “Coughing and straining so
weakened me that I run down in
weight from 148 to 92 pounds. After
trying a number of remedies to no
avail, One Minute Cough Cure entirely
eured me.” Sold by E. H. Miller. 5-1
Well Known People Undergo Sur-
gical Operations.
John Meager, whose health had been
rapidly failing for nearly a year, was
operated upon at his home, last Satur-
day, by Dr. Miller, the noted Cumber-
land surgeon. Mr. Meager’s case had
been diagnosed as gall stones, and the
operation proved it to be correct. In
addition to the gall stones, the patient’s
liver was found to be greatly enlarged,
but it is now believed that he will rap-
idly recover, as the operation seems to
have been very successful, and the
patient is getting along nicely, which
his many friends will all be glad to
ed on a daughter of Daniel I. Miller, of
Springs, for the same trouble that Mr.
Meager had been suffering with. The
operation was very successful, and we
understand that 23 gall stones were re-
moved. We are told that Dr. Miller
will operate on another patient in this
vicinity before returning home, but
have not learned full particulars.

Pender and His Company.
The Pender Cempany, which will ap-
pear at Hay’s Opera House, Salisbury,
Pa., Wednesday and Thursday even-
ings, Apr. 12th and 13th, ranks among
the best of its kind now touring Amer-
ica. The performance does not consist
of magic alone as is the case with most
magicians, for Pendar presents a varied
program, magic, ventriloguism, thought
transference, music, ete. Pender is
ventriloquism before the public today.
His work is clean, witty and full of |
laughter and merriment. You will |
miss a rare treat if you miss the Pender
show.
