able talk concerning the good old days
| of yore, when Rev. Saylor was a resi-
dent of this town, back in the “Seven-
ties,” and the editor was yet a boy.

I.. D. Sine and his employes were
cutting logs on his farm in Shade
township, recently, when they noticed
a flying squirrel emerge from a hole
half way up a hemlock stump twenty
feet high. One of the menpounded on
the stump, and out came the squirrels,
one, two, three, ete., until they counted
forty-seven. The ground was literally
covered with the rodents, and the men
captured a number of them, says the
Somerset Herald.
Mr. and Mrs. George Biser went to
where he lived. He visited here, last
summer, and will be remembered by
many of our people. We have not

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

And now Dan Livengood is pap. Dr.
A.M. Lichty reports the arrival of a
bouncing young son at his home, Wed-
nesday morning, while Dan was busy
dispensing knowledge in large chunks
in his school room at Boynton. The doc-
tor phoned the glorious news to the
proud young father without delay, and
it is said that Dan was so overjoyed
that he at once sent one of the school
“kids” out for a bucket of fresh water,
and “set it up” to the whole darned
school. Here’s congratulations, Daniel,
but we’ll take ginger ale for ours.
Nothing will releave Indigestion that
is not a thorough digestant. Kodol di-
gests what you eat and allows the
stomach to rest—recuperate—grow
strong again. KODOL is a solution of
digestive acids and as nearly as possible
approximates the digestive juices that
are found in the stomach. OL
takes the work of digestion off the di-
gestive organs, and while performing
this work itself does greatly assist the
stomach to a thorough rest. In ad-
dition the ingredients of KODOL are
such as to make it a corrective of the
highest efficiency, and by its action the
stomach is restored to its normal ac-
tivity and power. KODOL is manu-
factured in strict conformity with the
National Pure Food and Drug Law.

Another Street Railway Hearing.
There was a hearing in the case of

Railway Co. vs. the Pennsylvania &
Maryland Street Railway Co., before
Hon. Francis J. Kooser, Judge of the
Courts, on Saturday afternoon, on the
petition of the plaintiff for an order of |
the Court torestrain Frank A. Maust
from interfering with the corps of
engineers which were endeavoring to |
make a survey of the plaintiff’s right of
way over land owned by Frank A.
Maust and H. H. Maust, which survey
was being made in pursuance of a pre
liminary decree of the Court made in
this case, in which the right of the
Plaintiff to make the survey was
granted.
The answer of Frank A. Maust was
to the effect that he was not a party to
the suit, but an outside party, and that!
the Court had no jurisdiction over him,
and had no authority to enter the de- |
cree as prayed. The Plaintiff met the
objection by the allegation that the
property in question was owned by |
Frank A. Maust and H. H. Maust as

This injunetion business is getting to

than ever.
called company is when they become
frightened at a quiet,
harmless citizen like Frank Maust, and
resort to injunction proceedings. The
