Taken at the ‘sneeze stage” Preventies will head off all colds and Grippe, and perhaps save you from Pneumonia or Bronchitis.

The charge could not be substantiated, ow- ing to the fact that the P. & M. people did not have their land advertised as private property at the time the tres- passing was alleged to have been done. Nearly every person who is subject to attacks from the stomach suffers from a morbid dread of a dietetic treatment for relief, that is three-fourths starva- tion, and one-fourth toast and milk. On the other hand you can eat as you please and digest the food by the aid of a good digestant, thus giving the tired stomach equally as much rest. Eat what you please and take a little Ko- dol For Indigestion after your meals. 1t digests what you eat. Sold by E. H. Miller. 2-1 Mrs. Edward Haselbarth is still in the University Hospital in Philadel- phia, where she developed a case of typhoid fever since undergoing a sur- gical operation some weeks ago.

If you are Constipated, dull, or bil- ious, or have a sallow lifeless complex- ion, try Lax-ets just once to see what they will do for you. Lax-ets are little toothsome Candy tablets—nice to eat. nice in effect. No griping, no pain. Just a gentle laxative effect that 1s pleasingly desirable. Handy for the vest pocket or purse.

Frank Johns, a former resident of of Salisbury, died at his, home in Chambersburg, Pa., one day last week. He was aged about 68 years, was a veteran of the Civil War and a well known contractor in the town where he died. His wife preceded him to the spirit land a little over a year ago. Mr. and Mrs. Johns were childless, but de- ceased is survived by three brothers, one of whom is R. S. Johns, of this place. Food don’t digest? Because the stomach lacks some one of the essen- tial digestants or the digestive juices are not properly balanced. Then, too, it is this undigested food that causes sourness and painful indigestion. Ko- dol For Indigestion should be used for relief. Kodol is asolution of vegetable acids. It digests what you eat, and corrects the deficiencies of the diges- tion. Kodol conforms to the National Pare Food and Drug Law. Sold here by E. H. Miller. 2-1 Our old friend Zach Wagnercalled at TaE STAR office, Saturday morning, to favor us with a few dollars on subserip- tion. We never saw him looking bet- ter or happier, and he says he is enjoy- ing life in every sense of the word? Zach is now employed at the lumber camp of Bond Bros., in Garrett county, Md., and also worked at a lumber camp in West Virginia, recently. Lumber- ing is the most healthful work in (he world, and Zack says he likes it first rate, adding that a man who works at it for $1.75 a day and the best of board cannot fail to be healthy and happy. He is right. It’s a pleasure to tell our readers about a Cough Cure like Dr. Shoop’s. For years Dr. Shoop has fought against the use of Opium, Chloroform, or other unsafe ingredients commonly found in Cough remedies. Dr. Shoop, it seems, has welcomed the Pure Food and Drug Law recently enacted, for he has work- ed along similar lines many years. For nearly 20 years Dr. Shoop’s Congh Cure containers have had a warning printed on them against Opium and other narcotic poisons. He has thus made it possible for mothers to protect their children by simply insisting on having Dr. Shoop’s Cough Cure. Sold by Elk Lick Pharmacy. 2- James W. Beal arrived here on Christmas evening for a visit with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. H. Beal, Sr. He brought a handsome young bride with him, this time, whom he married some time ago in Pittsburg. James is still in the employ of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, and some time ago was promoted from fire- man to engineer. He runs on two divisions—from Pittsburg to Oil City, Pa., and from Pittsburg to DuBois, Pa. He is getting along nicely, and we wish him good luck and smooth running, not only on his engine, but on the matri- monial train which he recently board- ed, as well. James and his bride re- cently returned from New York City, where they had been on a visit at the home of Oscar Beal, a brother of James. Oscar is also married and holds a good position as conductor on one of the ele- vated railroads in New York. He is also getting along nicely, all of which we are glad to learn. The Beal broth- ers deserve credit for forging ahead in the way that they are. CURED OF LUNG TROUBLE. “It is now eleven years since I had a narrow escape from consumption,” writes C. O. Floyd, a leading business man of Kershaw, 8S. C. “I had run down in weight to 135 pounds, and coughing was constant, both by day and by night. Finally I began taking Dr. King’s New Discovery, and contin- ued this for about six months, when my cough and lung trouble were en- tirely gone and I was restored to my normal weight, 170 pounds.” Thou- sands of persons are healed every year. Guaranteed at E. H. Miller's drug store. H0c. and $1.00. Trial bottle free. 2-1 Big Blaze Narrowly Averted. The alarm of fire was sounded this forenoon, when L. C. Boyer’s wash house was discovered to be afire. The blaze was soon extingushed. but none to soon to avoid a serious conflagration, as in a few minutes more the enttre structure and Mr. Boyer’s house would likely have been wrapped in flames, and then the fire would more than likely have spread to Hay’s Hotel and all the other buildings as far as Loechel’s corner. Mr. Boyer’s grandsons, Prof. C. E. Dickey’s little boys, had been burning some Christmas tree refuse, and then placed some pieces of boards on the fire, back of the house, to increase the blaze. These were snatched off of the pile of burning rubbish by Grandfather Oliver Boyer, who put them under the wash house with a lot of kindling wood, not knowing, of course, that some of the boards were already ignited, and in that way the wash house and a good sized business portion of the town was given a close call to distruction. il eal Institute Program.
