Alonzo Chamberlain, the oldest man
in Meyersdale, recently celebrated his
90th birthday anniversary. He is still
quite a vigorous man, both mentally
and physically, and THE STAR hopes he
may live long enough to reach the
century mark, and then some.
“In a startled voice, Johnny suddenly
asked, “Mamma, is that bay rum in the
bottle on your table?” “Mercy ! no, dear,”
she replied. “That is mucilage.” “Oh,”
said Johnny. Then after 8. moment’s
pause he added reflectively, “perhaps
that’s why I can’t get my hat off.”
“They like the taste as well as maple

We have on file a very interesting
communication from M. P. Lichty, of
North Dakota, which will be published
in our next issue. Mr. Lichty tells all
about the rigorous winter in the North-
west, which seems to be a record-break-
er, this year, and of the great suffering
caused by a shortage of fuel, while
trains are unable to get through, en-
gines “die” on the road, ete.

The old M.& S. and the P.& M.
street railway companies have partly
buried the hatchet, but the handle is
still stickimg out, and no one can tell
when they will be in deadly combat
with each other. But both companies
have agreed not to interfere with each
other in the matter of making surveys,
and it is not likely that there will be
any more arrests for trespassing.
Matsi Shope, Martin Kletz, Martin
Samicola, Paul Durack and Pete Shi-
nock, Italians from Ralphton, were
jailed on Friday on a charge of assault
and battery with intent to kill. It is
said the men made an attack upon
John Wyland, one of the bosses at the
Ralphton mine, and on William Plum-
mer, an employe of the mine, doing
them up pretty badly.—Somerset
Standard.
To stop a Cold with “Preventics” is
safer than to let it run and cure it af-
terwards. Taken at the “sneeze stage”
Preventics 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 Jou.

The Somerset Standard offers a re-
ward for the return of a stray Maltese
tomcat. Now, if that cat or any other
cat belonged to us, the farther it would
stray away the better it would suit us.
If we had a pet rattlesnake, alligator,
toad, or even an ordinary yellow dog
(pug dog excepted), we might offer a
reward for the return thereof, in case
the animal strayed away, but for a cat,
never. Scat!
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.

Mr. David Lichty still bas the dis-
tinction of paying for more subscrip-
tions to Tae STAR than any other per-
son. On Tuesday he called around to
pay his numerous subscriptions in ad-
vance, as has been his custom for years,
and we are pleased to note that he re-
ports his health first class. Mr. Lichty
is now nearly 75 years old, and his wife
is nearly 70. They are probably as
hearty an old couple as we have in the
town, and their years surely rest lightly
upon them.
Lee F. Hoffman, the well known au-
tomobilist of Meyersdale, was sued by
Demetrius Compton. last week, for
damages in the sum of $6,250. It will
be remembered by our readers that Mr.
Compton and his wife and child were
all hurt in a run-away accident, last
fall, caused by their horse taking fright
at Mr. Hoffman's automobile. Mr,
Compton alleges that Hofiman did not
take the precautions required by law
to prevent accidents. The outcome of
the suit will be watched with much
interest.
Earl, the youngest child of Mr. and |
Mrs. Jacob Engle, of Elk Lick town-
chip, wis taken to the Memorial Hospit-
al, Johnstown, Pa., yesterday evening,
to be operated on for appendicitis. The
little fellow had been suffering for sev-
eral days, and the operation disclosed
the fact that he had a well advanced
case of appendicitis, and some of the
smaller intestines were found ‘to be
twisted around the larger ones. The
operation was made too late tosave the.
boy’s life, and he died this morning.
Deceased was aged between five and
six years.

nice in effect. No griping, no pain.

A Grant street husband, who had the
habit of growling about everything from
his meals to his laundry, looked up
from his paper, Monday night, and
grumbled sulkily : “Madam, I see where
a Chicago man went from home, re-
mained for thirty years and then re-
turned and gave his wife $5,000. If you
don’t do better you may find me doing
the same thing some day !” The patient
little wife looked up from her sewing
and replied sweetly, “All right, bat if
you will only remain away the thirty
years, you needn’t trouble yourseif
about the $5,000. The husband resumed
his reading without continuing the con-
versation farther.
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 our friend John M.
Wright on his legal victory over the B.
& O. Railroad Company. Mr. Wright
sued the company for refusing him cars
to be loaded with coal from wagons, at
a siding near his home, during the big
anthracite strike... He won out in our
County Court, being awarded damages
in the sum of $700 or thereabout. Then.
the railway people carried the case to
the Superior Court, where Mr. Wright
won again, after which an appeal was
taken to the Supreme Court. The Su-
preme Court, however, turned down
the appeal. and now we suppose the
railroad people will come down with
the cash. Mr. Wright, unlike some
people discriminated against in the
matter of cars, is not content to merely
complain, but he goes after the dis-
criminators in the proper way. More
power to him.
Frank Phenecie, a Garrett hotel man,
wns recently sued by the guardian of
Cora Flowers, daughter of Frank Flow-
ers, deceased, for $5,000. The same
plaintiff, some time ago, also entered
suit against Mrs. Elsie Reagan, who
also conducts a hotel in Garrett, for the
same amount. Frank Flowers, it is al-
leged in the plaintiff’s statement, was a |
man of known intemperate habits, and
that notwithstanding the fact that the
defendant had been notified to desist
selling him intoxicants, Flowers pro-
cured liquor at Phenecie’s bar, last Oc-
tober, and upon the suggestion of Phen-
ecie boarded an excursion train to
Somerset to attend a political meeting.
Flowers did not catch the returning
train, and the following morning was
killed by a freight train on the Somer-
set & Cambria branch. It is alleged
that the deceased earned seventy-five
dollars per month.
Said a well known business man to
us, the other day: “It would not hurt
you to occasionally mention our busi-
ness in your paper. It would help to
fill up, you know.” Yes, we might do it.
We haven’t the least idea on earth that
it would hurt us, and it would, as he
suggests, fill up. We might do all this,
but at the same time we do not have to
do it unless we feel like it. It would not
hurt him, either. to come around. and
say: “Give me a column or a half column
of space for an advertisement, and here
is the money for it.” By doing this he
would become a deserter to that grand
army of deadheads who expect the
newspapers to continually note the im-
provements they make, by giving them
free puffs,and for which they never pay
a cent. It is high time for all classes to
learn that a newspaper is a business
enterprise,the same as a dry goods store
or grocery, run for a living for its
owner.-Lanark (I11.) Gazette.
