A Meyersdale high society woman

A lady in an adjoining town spied
what she supposed to be her pet kitten
in the cistern making a terrible ado,
Her love for the pet made her deter-
mined to rescue it at all hazards. She
applied a rake, but all to no use, so in
she jumped, and the water came up to
her neck. Shortly after her husband
arrived, fished her out and discovered
the kitten on the roof, while its shadow
was reflected in the water.—Confluence

Those who have stomach trouble, no
matter how slight, should give eyery
possible help to the digestive organs,
so that the food may be digested with
the least effort. This may be done by
taking something that contains natural
digestive properties—something like
Kodol For Indigestion and Dyspepsia.
Kodol is a preparation of vegetable
acids and contains the very same juices
found in a healthy stomach. It digests
what you eat. Sold by E. H. Miller.
Mix five cents worth of tartar emetic
with an equal amount of sugar, make
it quite moist with cold water, and set
it in small dishes where the ants are
troublesome. They will disappear
quite as mysteriously as they came,
and there will be no dead ants lying
around. You can use this mixture
over again by moistening it. This will
drive away both the large black ant
and the small red ant, says an ex-
change.

Frequently you pick up one of the
local papers, and, after glancing at the
head lines, wearily thrust it aside, re-
marking, “Nothing in the paper today.”
Did you ever stop to think what that
phrase—“nothing in che paper, this
week,” means? It means that in the
week just past npno- misfortune has
befallen one in our city; that no fire
has wiped out a neighbor’s worldly
goods; that the grim angel of death has
crossed no threshold of a friend; that
no man driven by liquor, hatred or
fear has taken the life of a fellow hu-
man ; that no poor devil, haunted by
the past or misdeeds of some others,
has crossed the divide by his own hand ;
that many things that ought not to
happen have not happened. So the
next time you pick up a paper that
doesn’t announce a tragedy, give a
thanks-instead of grumbling because
there is no news,—Ex.
tle,” was one of the ten rules of life of
Thomas Jefferson, president of the
United States, and the rule applies to
every one without exception during
this hot weather, because it is hard for
gested when the blood is at high tem-
perature. At this season we should
eat sparingly and properly. We should
also help the stomach as much as possi-
ble by the use of a little Kodol For In-
digestion and Dyspepsia, which will
rest the stomach by digesting the food
itself. Sold by E. H. Miller. 9-1
Talk about catching fish—well, lots
of fellows talk about it, but when it
comes to making big catches, Tne Star
man easily takes the belt. Week Dbe-
fore last Tom Daugherty and the editor
clean earth worms, and the catch was,
Daugherty, 57; Livengood, 75. On
Tuesday last Albert Petry and the edi-
tor went fishing up the river, with the
same kind of bait, and the catch was,
Petry, 20; Livengood, 121. Some nice
bass were included in each catch, but
most of the fish were red horse. THE
Star man hasn’t tried to do his best
yet, as the water has been too high all
along. When the water once gets just
right, the editor is willing to wager
that he can catch anywhere from 200 to
300 fish in the Casselman in one day,
using only a single hook baited with
earth worms. Fish are not scarce in
the Casselman, as most fisherman de-
clare, but one must know how to catch
them in order to bring in a nice string.
I will mail you free, to prove merit,
samples of my Dr. Shoop’s Restorative,
and my Book on either Dyspepsia, The
Heart or The Kidneys. Troubles of the
Stomach, Heart or Kidneys, are merely
symptoms of a deeper ailment. Don’t
make the common error of treating
symptoms only. Symptom treatment
is treating the result of your ailment,
