The exception is made, however, that the newspapers must be those on which the subscription has been paid, else the dampness resulting from what is “dew” may result in spoiling the fruit. A drop of lemon in a cup of drinking water, it is said, will kill any disease germ. This is a simple remedy that all should heed, especially as the season for typhoid fever approaches. The disease is only communicable by ext- ing or drinking the germs, and never by exposure to an infected patient, says an exchange. The old time method of purging the system with Cathartics that tear, gripe, grind and break down the walls of the stomach and intestines is superseded by Dade’s Little Liver Pills. They cleans the liver, and instead of weaken- ing, build up and strengthen the whole system. Relieve headache, biliousness, constipation, ete.

The tinners are continually going up the spout ; the plumbers are always in the gutter; the paper-hangers are up against the wall; bakers are compelled to raise the dough; the policeman has to be on the beat; the clock-makers run on tick, and are never on time ; the wash-woman is always in the soak, and she is the only one you see hanging out on the line.—Ex. Wm. H. Speicher, better known as “Rispah” among the people of Somer- set and Cambria counties, was a caller at Tue Star office, Tuesday morning. Speicher is a newspaper writer of fine ability, and writes much for the Johns- town papers, also for other papers. At present he is painting advertising signs on fences, barns, rocks, ete. At times he also “paints” a whole town, in the most lurid of red shades, and his mania in that direction is all that keeps poor “Bill” from soaring very high as a writer of humorous and other interest- ing matter. A hundred years ago the best phy- sician would give you a medicine for your heart without stopping to consider what effect it might have on the liver. Even to this good day cough and cold medicines invariably bind the bowels. This is wrong. Bee’s Laxative Cough Syrup with Honey and Tar acts on the bowels—drives out the cold—clears the head, relieves all coughs, cleanses and strengthens the mucous membranes of the throat, chest, lungs and bronchial tubes.

Mr. Lee was one of Elk Lick township’s most respected citizens, and to his country. and also one of the most progressive farmers in this vicinity. He was aged nearly 48 years, and is survived by a wife and six or seven children. The funeral service was held at the Amish church, near Grantsville, Md., Tuesday afternoon, and was attended by »n large concourse of people. It is said that the best way to pre te old, original Fiddler George Walker, who is in a class by himself when it comes to sawing off all the good old-time violin selections in the most pleasing and graceful style, has been furnishing some very choice music about town during the past few weeks. He always draws listeners from all di- rections, and yesterday morning he and jolly old Griff Thomas did some lively stunts in Jer. J. Livengood & Son’s blacksmith shop. Griff did the stepping while George did the finger- ing and bowing, and it did us much good to watch the performance. Griff told the truth when he remarked, after a hearty laugh, that old fellows should not be dead until after they have died. A HARD LOT of troubles to contend with, spring from a torpid liver and blockaded bowels, unless you awaken them to their proper action with Dr. King’s New Life Pills; the pleasantest and most effective cure for Constipation. They prevent Appendicitis and tone up the system. 25c. at E. H. Miller's drug store. 8-1 Eloped to Cumberland. Everson, July 5.—Everson had an elopement on Independence Day.

In a recent letter from our big, good- looking friend W. J. Chapman, the well-known Baltimore coal man, who used to have interests in this region, that genial gentleman says: “I read your good old lively paper with all my former interest, as I still retain the liveliest and kindliest feel- ings towards all Elk Lick news items, I xh.li niways remember my associa- tions with the good people of Somerset county.” ee Two Interesting Grantsville News Items. The two following news items from Grantsville. Md. appeared in last week’s Onkland Journal: “William Broadwater, the venerable nonogenarian, has recovered from a gerious illness and is now able to be about his place. Mr. Broadwater, who has been hale and hearty until a few weeks ago, has made a large garden, and is now able to look after it him- self.” ‘At the regular meeting of our Town Council, held on Monday last, Nicholas Murphy, of Elk Lick, Pa., was appoint- ed Chief of Police. The question of building a Town Council chamber and lockup was taken up, and Mr. D. W. Dorsey offered to donate a lot worth $250 for the purpose, which was taken under consideration until next meet- ing.” A TRAGIC FINISH. A watchman’s neglect permitted a leak in the great North Sea dyke, which o child’s finger could have stopped, to become a ruinous break, devastating an entire province of Holland. In like manner Kenneth McIver, of Vanceboro, Me., permitted a little cold to go un- noticed until a tragic finish was only averted by Dr. King’s New Discovery. He writes: “Three doctors gave me up to die of lung inflammation, caused by a neglected cold; but Dr. King’s New Discovery saved my life.” Guar- anteed best cough and cold cure, at E. H.
