Last Thursday night the Somerset and Berlin Ten Pin clubs played three match games in Somerset. The con- test was a victory for Berlin by a total score of 2444 to 2395. On Tuesday evening of this week, Berlin also defeated the Meyersdale club at Meyersdale, but we have no re- port of the score. Tonight Salisbury will play Somerset at Meyersdale. The Berlin club is accused of ‘“load- ing up” with players not really mem- bers of their club, and if the charge is true, the other clubs should not per- mit it. Thomas A. Edison, the great Ameri- can inventor, says “Fully eighty per cent. of the illness of mankind comes from eating improper food or too much food; people are inclined to over-in- dulge themselves.” This is where in- digestion finds its beginning in nearly every case. The stomach can do just so much work and no more, and when you overload it, or when you eat the wrong kind of food, the digestive or- gans cannot possibly do the work de- manded of them. It is at such times that the stomach needs help; it de- mands help, and warns you by head- aches, belching, sour stomach, nausea and indigestion. You should attend to this at once by taking something that will actually do the work for the stomach. Kodol will do this. It is a combination of natural digestants and vegetable acids and contains the same juices found in a healthy stomach. It is pleasant to take. It digests what you eat. Sold by E. H. Miller. 11-1 Two Very Large Deeds. Yesterday morning, two deeds, prob- ably the largest ever placed on record in this county, were left with Recorder John R. Boose to be recorded. They show transfers of coal property in Con- emaugh township from E. J. Berwind to the Wilmore Coal Company, which is the realty owning corporation of the Berwind-White concern. The consid- eration in one deed is $1,037,200, and in the other, $683,100. The deeds bear date of December, 1901, at which time it was required to place revenue stamps upon all instruments of that character, on account of the Spanish-American War. The stamps on one cost $517.75, and on the other, $340.75. The denom- ination of stamps varies from 25 cents to $500.—Somerset Standard. HAVE YOU A WANT?—If so, try a small “ad” in Tue Star.

Reformed Church Favors Local | Option. | The Pittsburg Synod of the Reformed | church closed its annual sessions at Greensburg, Monday evening of last week. Before the Synod adjourned, | the following resolution was passed | without a dissenting voice: Resolved, That Synod express its gratification at the present unexampled growth of the general temperance sen- i timent over the country, and especially at the rapid extension of the prohi- bition of the traffic in intoxicants in| the Southwest, by states and counties. | Resolved, further, that Synod im-| press upon the people within its bounds | the necessity of sobriety for the domes- tic, social, civil, and religious well be- ing, and urge upon them the sacred | duty of employing all proper available | means to assure the enactment of a local option law for the state at the next biennial session of its Legislature, HIS DEAR OLD MOTHER. “My dear old mother, who is now | eighty-three years old, thrives on Elec- tric Bitters,” writes W. B. Brunson, of | Dublin, Ga. “She has taken them for about two years and enjoys an excel- lent appetite, feels strong and sleeps well.” That’s the way Electric Bitters affect the aged, and the same happy results follow in all cases of female |’ weakness and general debility.
