Ice men are beginning to get a little
uneasy as to an ice crop for this year,
for so far most of the winter has been
composed of sunshine and warm, heavy
rains. It is somewhat colder now, but
the streams are still very high, and it
will have to get intensely cold to freeze
thick ice on them. But never mind,
gentlemen, February will give you all
the ice you are looking for,even though
we may not “cut much ice” as a weath-
er prophet.
Mothers who give their children Ken-
nedy’s Laxative Cough Sy rup invariably
indorse it. Children like it because
the taste is so pleasant. Contains
Honey and Tar. It isthe Original Lax-
ative Cough Syrup and is unrivaled for
the relief of croup. Drives the cold
out through the bowels. Conforms to

Somerset county friends learned this
week of the death of Benjamin F.
Mealey, formeriy of Stoystown, who
died at Strong City, Kan.,on Christmas
Day. Deceased was known among his
comrades of Company B, Fifty-fourrh
regiment. as “Bone.” Mealey, during
the three years-he was in the service.
He left this county a number of years
ago, and all traces of him were lost un-
til last year, when he returned to re-
new acquaintances, says the Somerset
Standard
Croup can positively be stopped in 20
minutes. No vomiting—nothing to
sicken or distress your child. A sweet,
pleasant, and safe Syrup, called Dr.
Shoop’s Croup Cure, does the work and
does it quickly. Dr. Shoop’s Croup
Cure is for Croup alone, remember. It
does not claim to cure a dozen ailments.
It’s for Croup, that’s all. Sold by Elk

Married, Dec. 27th, 1908, at Connells-
ville, Pa., Mr. David 8. Martin, of
Bellevue, Pa., and Miss Pela C. Kutz,
of near Reading, Pa. The groom will
be remembered by Salisbury people as
the affable and hustling electrician
who installed the Salisbury electric
light plant, and the bride will be re-
membered as the handsome and ac-
complished schoolma’am who taught
the Cross Roads school, in Elk Lick
township, last winter. The couple is
composed of most excellent young peo-
ple, and THE Star wishes them a long,
happy and prosperous life.
To stop a Cold with “Preventics” is
safer than to let it run and cure it af-
terwards. Taken at the “sneeze stage”
Preventies will head off all colds and
Grippe, and perhaps save you from
Pneumonia or Bronchitis. Preventics
are little toothsome candy cold cure
tablets selling in 5 cent and 25 cent
boxes. If you are chilly, if you begin
to sneeze, try Preventics. They will
surely check the cold, and please you.

Nearly all the watch signs, probably
ninety out of 100, have hands set at
8:18, but comparatively few people
know why this is. It is no accident.
W. K. Washburn, of New York, was
painting a sign for a jeweler of thal
city when the news of the assassination
of Abraham Lincoln, April 14, 1865, was
received in New York, and the latter
ordered the painter to put upon the dial
the exact time when the fatal shot was
fired, namely 8:18, and so they have
continued ever since. Whenever you
see a sign after this, recall the fact that
it points to the fatal moment.
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 : H.

James C. Begley, editor of the Berlin
Gleaner, has instituted a suit in equity
to force payment of benefits alleged to
be due him from the Hawkins Lodge,
Knights of Pythias, of Windber. The
plaintiff became a member of that lodge
in September, 1899, and subsequently
transferred his card to a Connellsville
lodge, and he is at present a member of
the Somerset lodge of that order. The
plaintiff met with an injury on the
Pennsylvania railroad, at Johnstown,
in July, 1900, which totally disabled
him for a number of weeks, and thusg
he alleges, he was entitled to weekly
benefits from the lodge for a certain
period. At the same time Mr. Begley’s
wife received injuries that led to her
death, which he avers entitled him to
an additional $50 from the lodge. He
avers that the lodge has paid him but
$29, and that $198 is due to him.—Som-
erset Standard.
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. Lax-ets meet
every desire. Lax-ets come to you in
beautiful lithographed metal boxes at
5 cents and 25 cents. Sold by Elk Lick

Derailed an Engine.
Jeremiah Haines, a fourteen-year-old
lad, was brought to Somerset from
Williams Station, the other day, for
placing a spike on a rail, which derail-
ed a large engine. The boy was taken
before Judge Kooser, Saturday, where
he admitted that he placed the spike
on the track, but claimed that he meant
no mischief; that he had often seen
others place pins and small articles on
the track to be flattened out, and he
wanted to see what a train would do to
a spike. The boy was given into the
custody of L. C. Colborn, the probation
officer, who will have him placed with
a good family in Milford township, in a
few days.
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

Marriage of Prof. E. J Egan.
The following account of the recent
marriage of Prof. E. J. Egan appeared
in the Hagerstown Globe :
“Tt was the writer’s good fortune to
be present at a wedding at the home of
Mr. David H. Hollinger, near Carefoss,
Christmas Day. The contracting pair
consisted of Mr. Hollinger’s third
daughter, Miss Olive, and Prof. E. J.
Egan, a member of the faculty of Union
Bridge College, Md.
The best man was Prof. R. J. Bran-
denburg, of Frederick City. The bride’s
attendant was Miss Densie Hollinger,
a sister of the bride. She resides in
New York City, and is engaged in mis-
sion work. Miss Kathryn XK. Oellig, of
Greencastle, Pa., presided at the organ.
The marriage ceremony was very im-
pressive, being performed by an uncle
of the bride, Rev. C. R. Oellig, of
Waynesboro, Pa.
The bride—I forbear, these latter-
day brides are fearfully and wonder-
fully made, I mean as to attire. My
ignorance of the dressmakers’ iore
would make the writer ridiculous in at-
tempting a description of the bride’s
dress, and will only truthfully say she
was becomingly gowned. The groom
was attired in conventional black.
The presents bestowed upon the
bride were many and appropriate.
Conspicuously among them was a
massive Morris chair, quartered and
polished oak, luxuriously upholstered.
This was a present from the faculty -of
Union Bridge College, of which institu-
tion the bride was a student. She ap-
preciates this piece very highly, owing
to associations.
The refreshments were of a very
high order, and nearly 100 guests par-
took. Hagerstown and other nearby
points were ‘in evidence. Pennsyl-
vanians were there from Chambers-
burg, Waynesboro, Greencastle and
other points.
When our lines are cast in pleasant
places, how swift the moments fly! The
shades of evening came on apace, the
good-byes were said after many good
wishes for the happy pair, and all de-
parted to their near and remote places
of abode.” MEepbicus.
