Dickey was taken by surprise by a number of her friends who came over from Brothers- valley and Berlin to celebrate the 37th anniversary of her birth. Some of our home people also participated in the happy event, and some forty people are reported to have been at the hospitable Dickey home on the day aforesaid. There was lots of good eating, presents, good wishes, etc., of course. Tuesday was a great day for birthday anniver- saries of good people. The editor's wife also completed her 37th year on that day, as did also Rev. E. S. John- ston, D. D., but in his case the figures must be reversed to make 37. The following truthful statement clipped from an exchange appeared recently in the Altoona Tribune: “Too many people expect the editor of the local paper to be the whole thing in booming the town. They’re constant- ly giving him the hunch to whoop it up. The editor’s inspiring efforts must be reinforced by the people more directly interested. Business men, capitalists, men who are able finan- cially to do things, must put their shoulders to the wheel and help push the car of progress along. One or two men can do a great deal, but they can’t do it all. It requires the concerted ac- tion of the citizens. When one man shoulders a town and attempts tocarry it, there are always a lot of cranky kickers ready to jump on top of the load. Unity of action is what counts.” Rest is the great restorer. We tire our muscles by exercise and then rest to restore them; yet a great many of us do not stop to think how little rest we give to our stomachs. - As a usual thing no part of our bodies is so gener- ally overworked os our. digestive or- gans. A tired and overworked stomach will give signs of distress to which we pay no heed until at last Dyspepsia takes hold. Indigestion is just a warn- ing, and if we heed the warning we can easily avoid further consequences. KODOL is a most thorough stomach relief. It digests what you eat and gives the stomach the needed rest and greatly assists in restoring it to its nor- mal activity and usefulness. KODOL is sold on a guarantee relief plan.

Following his statement he placed his leg against a log, and with three blows of his ax severed it cleanly between knee and ankle. He was taken to the Butler County Gereral Hospital in a farm wagon, and when asked by the attend- ing physician why he did it, rehlied: “The Lord directed me to.” It is reported that during the band serenade, Wednesday evening, an East End couple were standing on the porch listening to the sweet strains of music from the bass drum, when a piece of brick thrown by a small boy struck the lady on the side, fracturing one of her ribs and simultaneously broke the young man’s wrist. If thisis true, it is a case of another good right arm going to waist. and also proves the “correct- ness of the old saying that the most dangerous kind of bats that fly by night are brick-bats.—Berlin Record. The News—No Pure Drug Cough Cure Laws would be needed, if all Cough Cures were like Dr. Shoop’s Cough Cure is—and has been for 20 years. The National Law now requires that if any poisons enter into a cough mixture, it must be printed on the label or package. For this reason mothers, and others, should insist on having Dr. Shoop’s Cough Cure. No poison-marks on Dr. Shoop’s labels—and none in the medicine, else it must by law be on the label. And it’s not only safe, but it is said to be by those that know it best, a truly remarkable cough remedy. Take no chance, particularly with your chil- dren. Insist on having Dr. Shoop’s Cough Cure. Compare carefully the Dr. Shoop package with others and see. No poison marks there! You can al- ways be on the safe side by demanding Dr. Shoop’s Cough Cure. Simply re- fuse to accept any other.

It was with much re- gret that the people of Salisbury bade Miss Cosgrove adieu, for she was very popular here, and justly so. She was telegraph operator here for about three years, and manager of the central tel- ephone office for about two years. She was not only very efficient in her work, but also very obliging, and at all times cheerful and atfable. No one ever left the town more universally respected than Miss Cosgrove, and the departure of no one from this community was ever more regretted. THE STAR joins her many friends in wishing her well in her new position, and we know that she will make good in any position she undertakes to fill. Her successor here as telegraph operator Mrs. V. E. Baumgardner, who needs no introduc- tion or recommendation to our peopie. She was operator here for many years prior to the Baumgardner family’s re- moval from the town. Like Miss Cos- grove, she is an excellent and obliging operator. Miss Zella Fogle. we under- stand, will try to conduct the business at the central telephone office, and while we wish her success, we fear it is quite a big undertaking for one so young.
