always of the finest quality and brings
the highest prices.

deepening, the flies are unlimbering

harvest be?—Canonsburg Notes.

to sneeze, try Preventics. They will
surely check the cold, and please you.

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.
It digests what you eat. Sold by E. H.
Miller. 2-1
J. R.Joy’s sale, last Saturday, was
well attended. Goods brought fair
prices, considering the time of year,
ete. J. L. Durst, of Jennings, Md., was
the auctioneer, and Albert Reitz and
P. L. Livengood did the clerking. Mr.
Joy’s family left here on Tuesday for
their new home at Donora, Pa.,but Mr.
Joy is still here settling up his affairs
and waiting for a car to ship some of
his goods in.
We acknowledge receipt of a check
for another year’s subscription in ad-
vance from Mrs. 8S. E. Buchanan, of
Newport, Tenn. The good lady also
sends her kindest regards and best
wishes for our entire family, for which
we return thanks as well as for her
check. We also extend our best wishes
to the Buchanan family, who made a
host of friends in Salisbury during the
time they resided here.
Albert Robinson is holding down a
nice position with the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, in Altoona. He
is on the company’s clerical force in
that city, and writes that he likes his
position very much. He orders THE
STAR sent to his address, as all intel-
ligent young men do when they leave
Salisbury. Albert is a trustworthy
young man, and we think he will make
good in the railroad service.
John Hawn recently caught an enor-
mgusly large wild cat in a steel trap,
and when he approached it, the cat
prepared for battle. John did the
same thing, and by the vigorous use of
a heavy cane, the cat soon yielded up
its life. John says the animal made
“clear awful” with its hideous squalls,
and judging from what he says, Silas
Durst’s panther wasn’t “in it” for noise.
Old John, however, wasn’t born in the
woods to be scared by wild animals, or
steam whistles, either. But how about
Silas?
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
Pure Food and Drug Law. Sold here

We congratulate Mr. and Mrs. Ed-
ward Haselbarth on their return from
Philadelphia, this morning, where Mrs.
Haselbarth spent many weary weeks in
a hospital. We know what a happy
day it was for us when Mrs. Livengood
returned from a Philadelphia hospital,
year before last, and if Mr. Haselbarth
is only half as happy as we were on
that occasion, he is easily the happiest
man in town. We are glad to note that
Mrs. Haselbarth stood the trip well
and is now getting along nicely. Now,
may she enjoy many years of good
health.
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 fourd 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. 2-1
It now turns out that the panther
that almost frightened Silas Durst out
of his boots, one morning last week,
was nothing but the hideous squalls of
a new alarm whistle recently added to
the power house equipment of the
Citizens’ Light, Heat and Power Com-
pany. Silas went out at daybreak that
morning to plow, and hearing the
whistle aforesaid for the first time, be-
came frightened worse than Tam
O’Shanter when the goblins were after
him, and then the horses became
frightened at Silas, and oh, Lord, what
a prancing, snorting time there was in
that field near the woods! Only for
the fact that he was too badly scared
and not quite swift enough, Silas would
have done like the man we have all
read about in Mother Goose’s Nursery
Rhymes—“ran fourteen miles in fifteen
days and never looked behind him.”
Ministers have often resorted to un-
usual methods in order to arouse their
parishioners, and the advertising which
fills theatres and circus has often been
used to advantage. Among the many
peculiar devices used to arouse an in-
terest in church work, the one used by
a Methodist minister at Bluffton, Ind.,
is not without its unique features.
Discouraged by the lack of interest in
church work in his community, and
having exhausted the usual means of
bringing the unheeding ones to a re-
alization of their duty, the minister
went tothe church at an early hour one
Sunday evening and began tolling the
hell. Immediately the people gather-
ed to learn who had passed into the
greet beyond. Then the minister re-
marked that while he knew of no one
who had physically died recently, he
knew of a great many who were mor-
ally and spiritually dead, and it was
for these he tolled the bell. A number
of those who gathered to learn the
news admitted that they belonged on
the roster of the deceased, and ex-
pressed a desire for a resurrection.—
Ex.
WHEN A MAN TELLS YOU it does
not pay to advertise, he is simply ad-
mitting that he is conducting a busi-
ness that is not worth advertising, a
business ‘conducted by a man unfit to
do business, and a business which
should be advertised for sale. tf
