“Fight to keep the home trade,” is a
good motto, and there is no better or
cheaper way than to use the columns
of the local papers. They not only do
the printing, but see that what is print-
ed reaches the family circle and is not
used to carpet the lawn.—Ex.
Jer. J. Livengood, our venerable ex-
Burgess, went to Johnstown, last Sun-
day, to visit his daughter, Mrs. Wm.
Williams, who has been very ill for
some time. He was accompanied by
his other two daughters, Mrs. M. FI.
Statler and Mrs. R. A. Kidner.
Mrs. C. E. Sperry, of Wilmerding, Pa.,
came to Salisbury last Friday and had
charge of the Western Union telegraph
office here while her sister, Mrs. V. E.
Baumgardner, the regular operafor,
was in attendance at a convention of
the Evangelical Association, held in
Meyersdale. * |
One of the worst features of kidney
trouble is that it is an insidious disease, |
and before the victim realizes his dan-
ger he may have a fatal malady. Take
Foley’s Kidney Cure at the first sign of
trouble, as it corrects irregularities and
prevents Bright's disease and diabetes.
Mrs. Ellen Suhrie, who owns the
large Gay street tenement property
known as “The Ark,” also owner of
the central telephone office and the
residence occupied by Geo. Fogle and
family, was here looking after her
property interests, several days during
the past week.
Our old friends and neighbors,
Harry McCulloh and family, of Ha-
gerstown, Md., arrived in town a couple
of days ago for a visit with friends.
“Mack” reports himself fairly pros-
perous in Hagerstown, but he does not

The way to get rid of a cold, whether
it be a “bad cold” or just a little one, is
to get it out of your system through
the bowels. Nearly all Cough Cures,
especially those’ that contain opiates,
are constipating. Kennedy's Laxative
Cough Syrup contains no opiates and
acts gently on the bowels. Pleasant to
take. Sold by E. H. Miller. 10-1
Does it pay to advertise? E. H.
Lambert testifies that it does, if the
advertising is done in THE Star. Last
wenk he had a few lines inserted, of-
fering a cow, calf, mare and colt for
sale. He says the “ad” promptly
brought him purchasers in abundance.
The moral is plain. If you have any-
thing to sell, and advertise it in THE
STAR, you will quickly hear from peo-
ple who want to buy, if you advertise
something they want.
1t is not surprising that so many of
us have such hard work to be decent.
Just remember that the first man to
dwell upon the earth was no saint. If
we can rely upon history he was a liar
and a sneak. The first woman kept
bad company, and womanlike pried
into things that did not concern her.
The first child born was a murderer,
and killed his brother. Our first an-
cestors were a tough lot, and it is hard
to get it out of the blood, says an ex-
change.
Healthy kidneys filter the impurities
from the blood, and unless they do this
good health is impossible. Ioley’s

Mrs. Milton Meese and little daugh-
ier Margaret, and Mrs. W. S. Easton,
attended the Inter-State Fair,at Johns-
town, Pa., last week. Little Margaret
had the horor at the fair to do the
drawing by which a fine automobile
was given away by the Love & Sun-
shine Company to the holder of the
lucky ticket placed in a large box with
other tickets. The little girl was
blind-folded while doing the drawing.
The winner of the automobile was
John McDermott, of Blairsville, Pa.
John Grogan, of Scottdale, and Her-
bert Short, of Meyersdale, were given
a hearing before Squire Hay, of Mey-
ersdale, on a charge of being drunk
and disorderly on the Baltimore &
Ohio Cumberiand excursion train, Sun-
day. The men started a “rough house”
on the train, and were about to have a
fistic encounter when Officer W. T.
Bayless, who was detailed for duty on
the train, placed them under arrest
and locked them up at Meyersdale.
They were fined $7.56 each for their
misconduct, says the Connellsville
Courier.

The Salisbury Band furnished the
music during the first two days of the
Fair and Races, and will play again
this afternoon. This eflicient musical
aggregation is delighting the large
crowds of people who daily attend the
Fair, with the excellent selections
they render from their seemingly un-
limited repertoire of the latest music.
Salisbury has just reason to feel proud
of her band boys, as down here they
are simply taking things by storm. To-
morrow the Citizens’ Bata, of this city,
will furnish the music.—Meyersdale

Occasional headache, belching, bad
taste in the mouth, lack of appetite and
slight nervousness are symptoms of in-
digestion which, when allowed to go
uncared for, will develop into a case of
dyspepsia that will take a long time to
get rid of. Don’t neglect your stomach.
At the first indication of trouble take
something that will help it along in its
work of digesting the food you eat.
Kodol For Indigestion and Dyspepsia
will do this. Kodol will make jour

to enjoy what you eat. Sold by E. H.

A Michigan woman spanked her
seven-year-old son, the other day, with
a shingle, and in so doing exploded a
dynamite cap the little fellow had in
his hip pocket. As a result, the boy
will likely die, while the mother lost
two fingers and received numerous
cuts about the body. We know of
some boys here in Salisbury that ought
to be spanked, and they ought to have
both dynamite caps and dynamite in

quired of a small boy whether he could
tell him the way to the Methodist
church. The lad cheerfully gave the
desired information, and then began
vigorously puffing at a cigarette. The
minister thinking to reprove the boy,
said: “My son, you should not smoke
those nasty things. Don’t you know
that if you don’t quit such things you
will never get to heaven?’ The little
fellow looked up with the air of a phi-
losopher. and replied, “TI don’t ’spect it’s
much you know about heaven, when
you don’t know the way to the Metho-
dist church.”—Ex.
To check a cold quickly, get from
your druggist some little Candy Cold
Tablets called Preventics. Druggists
everywhere are now dispensing Pre-
ventics, for they are not only safe, but
decidedly certain and prompt. Pre-
ventics contain no Quinine, no laxative,
nothing ‘harsh nor sickening. Taken at
the “sneeze stage” Preventics will pre-
vent Pneumonia, Bronchitis, La Grippe,
etc. Hence the name, Preventics.

Our old friend “Squire” Samuel
Lowry, who spent about two months
visiting his daughter, Mrs. Spaulding,
who resides in Michigan, returned
home last Friday. The visit evidently
has done him good, for he has gained
in flesh and looks as young as any man
of his age that we know of. The many
friends of Mr. Lowry are all glad to
have him once more with us, as he is
ever jovial, and we heard one of his old
army comrades remark in Rockwood,
last Saturday, that he is one of the
most kind-hearted and generous men
he ever knew. We agree with the old
comrade, and we trust that “Squire”
Lowry will remain a familiar tigure in
Salisbury a goodly number of years
yet.
Pain anywhere, pain in the head,
painful periods, Neuralgia, toothache,
all pains can be promptly stopped by a
thoroughly safe little Pink Candy Tab-
let, known by Druggists everywhere as
Dr. Shoop’s Headache Tablets. Pain
simply means congestion—undue blood
pressure at the point where pain exists.
Dr. Shoop’s Headache Tablets quickly
equalize this unnatural blood pressure,
and pain immediately departs. Write’

Mr. and Mrs. S. 8S. Koontz, of Brad-
dock. Pa.;and Mrs. W. B. Stevanus,
were weleome callers at THE STAR of-
fice, yesterday. Mr. Koontz has had
very poor health for some months, and
not long ago his condition was very
serious. He has greatly improved,
however, but he is still far from being
a well man. We trust that his sojourn
here, which will likely be several
weeks, will benefit him greatly, and
that he will ultimately be restored to
rugged health. We are indeed glad to
see Mr. and Mrs. Koontz once more
among their many friends here in old
Salisbury, where a cordial welcome is
always in store for them. They visited
relatives in the vicinity of Somerset
for about a week before coming here:
There are a great many people who
have slight attacks of indigestion and
dyspepsia nearly all the time. Their
food may satisfy the appetite, but it
fails to nourish the body simply be-
cause the stomach is not in fit con-
dition to do the work it is supposed to
do. It can’t digest the food you eat.
The stomach should be given help.
You ought to take something that will
dothe work your stomach can’t do.
Kodol For Indigestion and Dyspepsia,
a combination of natural digestants
and vegetable acids, digests the food
itself and gives strength and health to
the stomach. Pleasant to take. Sold
by E. H. Miller. 10-1
G. W. Whitacre, of West Salisbury,
and the editor, took their little deaf
girls to the Edgewood Park school for
the deaf, at Pittsburg, last Saturday.
Mr. Whitacre’s child is now started on
her second term at and our
own little girl on her fifth. Both of
the children are making excellent
progress in their studies, and by the
time they graduate they will be the
possessors of a splendid common school
education. We have noticed long ere
this that the many children bereft of
hearing and speech who are attending
the school aforesaid, are far in advance |
in their studies of hearing and speak- |
ing children of the same age who at-
tend the public schools. We attribute
this to superior teachers and methods
of teaching at the Edgewood Park
school.

Stomach troubles. Heart and Kidney
ailments, can be quickly corrected with
a prescription known “to druggists |
everywhere as Dr. Shoop’s Restorative. |
The prompt and surprising relief which
this remedy immediately brings is en-
tirely due to its Restorative action |
upon the controlling nerves of the
Stomach, ete. A weak Stomach, caus- |
ing dyspepsia, a weak Heart with pal- |
pitation or intermittent pulse, always
means weak Stomach nerves or weak |
