Babies and children need prompt at-
tention when suffering from coughs and
colds. The best remedy for mothers to
use is Kennedy's Laxative Cough

maple sugar. It contains no opiates,
and it is laxative and drives the cold
out of the system Dy gently moving the
bowels. Sold by E. H. Miller. 12-1
Passenger traffic was exceedingly
heavy on the P. & M., last Sunday.
Hundreds of people traveled from
Meyersdale to Salisbury, and hundreds
from Salisbury to Meyersdale. The
Citizens’ Cornet Band, of Meyersdale,
came to Salisbury in the afternoon and
favored our people with music. Some
forty guests, including the band afore-
said, registered at Hay’s Hotel and
took supper there.

The versatile John M. Smith, of Mey-
ersdale, came up on the trolley, the
other day. and in speaking of the new
way of coming to Salisbury, he said:
“This is simply immense, this new
trolley line, and the people up here de-
serve all the credit for it. Meyersdale
people only talked trolley, but Salis.
bury capital and enterprise took hold
and helped to build it.” Meyersdale
has no share in the credit due for the
building of the road.”
There is nothing better for stomach
troubles than KODOL, which contains
the same juices found in a healthy
stomach. KODOL is offered on a guar-
anteed plan for the relief of heart burn,
flatulence, sour stomach, belching of
gas, nausea, and all stomach troubles.
So at times when you don’t feel just
right, when you are drowsy after meals,
and your head aches or when you have
no ambition, and you are cross and ir-
ritable, take a little KODOL. It digests
what you eat. It will make you
healthy. Sold by E. H. Miller. 12-1

Mr. and Mrs. Jacob D. Miller, and he
thinks he will again move back to

farm near McHenry, in Garrett county,
Md., during the past year, but the
crops were poor and he is disgusted
with farming. Lately his health has
been going back on him, and he is try-
ing to recuperate. We hope he will
succeed, for there is no other thing so
valuable as good health. .
You can’t be well if you have a weak,
unhealthy, tired out stomach. Neither
can you feel good if by some little ir-
regularity in eating you have caused
the stomach to get out of order. These
little stomach troubles are signe of in-
digestion, which may and very often
do turn into a very bad case of dys-
pepsia. Don’t allow this to go on a
single day without doing something to
overcome it. Take some good reliable
and safe digestant like KODOL For
Dyspepsia. KODOL is the best remedy
known today for heart burn, belching
and all troubles arising from a disor-
dered digestion. It is pleasant to take
and affords relief promptly. Sold by
E. H. Miller. 12-1
While en route to Pittsburg, last
Sunday, we met Wendell Smith, a
former Salisbury boy, at Connellsville,
also George Langford, a former citizen
of Boynton, who will be remembered
by many of our people as the genial
and hustling setter at the Dill-Watson
sawmill, which for years did a big busi-
ness at Boynton. Mr. Langford is now
a resident of Connellsville, but con-
ducts a store for the Kendall Supply
Company, at Kendall, Md.
N. G. and Lew S. Keim, of Elkins, W,
Va., were in town this week visiting
their mother and sister, Mrs. S. C.
Keim and Miss Cora Keim. They find
some pleasure in coming to Salisbury
since the trolley line is in operation,
and as former Salisbury boys they re-
joice in the old town’s advancement.
Lew reported to THE Star while here
that the Keim population of Elkins
and vicinity now numbers 25, and is
confined to his own family and the
families of his brothers, George, Jonas
and William. No race suicide there.
A tickling cough, from any cough, is
quickly stopped by Dr. Shooop’s Cough
Cure. And itis so thoroughly harm-
less and safe, that Dr. Shoop tells
mothers everywhere to give it without
hesitation, even to very young babes.
The wholesome green leaves and ten-
der stems of a lung-healing mountain-
ous shrub, furnish the curative prop-
erties to Dr. Shoop’s Cough Cure. It
calms the cough, and heals the sore and
sensitive bronchial membranes. No
opium, no chloroform, nothing harsh
used to injure or suppress. Simply a
resinous plant extract, that helps to
heal aching lungs. The Spaniards call
this shrub which the Doctor uses, “The
Sacred Herb.” Demand Dr. Shoop’s.
Take no other. Sold by All Dealers.

On Tuesday viewers were looking
over the proposed location of a new
road to run from West Salisbury to
Boynton, the same to be graded around
the South and East sides of Flog Hill
It seems to strike many thinking and
observing people that Elk Lick town-
ship already has more roads than the
township is able to keep in proper con-
dition, and that the new road petitioned
for would be of but little value to any-
body, and of no value to nearly every-
body. What Elk Lick township needs
is better roads, not more of them, and
it is not likely that the proposed road
mentioned will be granted.
When the Stomach, Heart,or Kidney
nerves get weak, then these organs al-
ways fail. Don’t drug the Stomach,
nor stimulate the Heart or Kidneys.
That is simply a makeshift. Get a pre-
scription known to Druggists every-
where as Dr. Shoop’s Restorative. The
Restorative is prepared expressly for
these weak inside nerves. Strengthen |
these nerves, build them up with Dr.
Shoop’s Restorative—tablets or liquid
—and see how quickly help will come.

Mr. and Mrs. J.C. Balliet, who moved
here from Montour county, Pa., about
17 years ago, have shipped their house-
hold effects to Elizabeth, Pa., where
they will set up house-keeping and
have their son Clyde, who holds a
mine formanship near that place, live
with them. Mr. Balliet will travel for
the Harvey Oil Company. When he
came to Salisbury he was the junior
member of the firm of Billmeyer &
Balliet, a well known lumber- firm
which was dissolved some years ago,
when each member of the firm started
in business for himself, and conducted
sawmills individually until both re-
tired from the lumber business, some
years ago. Mr. and Mrs. Balliet have
many friends here who regret their re-
moval, and all wish them ‘well in their
new home, where Tur Star will visit
them weekly and keep them posted on
the news of this locality.

CURED OF BRIGHTS DISEASE.
Mr. Robert O. Burke, Elnora, N. Y,,
writes: “Before I started to use
Foley’s Kidney Cure I had to get up
from twelye to twenty times a night,
and I was all bloated up with dropsy
and my eyesight was so impaired 1
could scarcely see one of my family
across the room. 1had given up hope
of living, when a friend recommended
Foley’s Kidney Cure. One 50 cent bot-
tle worked wonders and before I had
taken the third bottle the dropsy had
gone, as well as all other symptoms of

The Dunbar Hand Bell Ringers.
The Dunbar Hand Bell Ringers and
Male Quartet, which was the first at-
traction of the Salisbury Lecture
Course, this year, appeared in Hay’s
opera house, last Saturday evening.
A large audience greeted them, and
t» =ay that all were pleased, is putting
it very mildly. Each one of the quar-
tet is a fine artist, and it would be
hard to say which one was the star
performer.
As for-us;weiliked the bass vocalist
and the clever impersonations of Harry
Dunbar a little the best. The imper-
sonation of an English clergyman’s
dissertation was indeed a masterpiece,
and the audience roared with laughter.
It reminded us of the many sermons
we have heard in church from time to
time, when we did not dare laugh, but
were supposed and expected to take
the sermons seriously to heart, when
there was in reality no more in them
to be taken seriously—no more logic,
reason or sense than there was in
Harry Dunbar’s burlesque, which is in-
tended only for a mirth promoter, and
which admirably serves that purpose.
And right here we can truthfully
add that the people of most towns
usually have no occasion to go away
from home to hear sermons of the
“Mary’s Little Lamb”- brand. If all
the religious denominations could
weed out of their pulpits the little,
narrow-minded bigots and incompetents
that want to pose as sky "pilots, and
have only clergymen of brains, sound
logic and ability in their places, church
membership and church attendance
would soon be much larger, and the
world would soon be much better.
When people are expected to contrib-
ute to the salaries of clergymen who
can preach sermons only of the “Mary’s
Little Lamb” brand, or to even waste
time in going to listen to their labored
vaporings, only disappointment and in-
difference in church matters can be
the result.
It used to be that dangling a devil
with hoofs and horns before a congre-
gation, and shouting about fire and
brimstone until the fumes of sulphur
could be smelled all through the
good an able and broad-minded clergy-

to the sanctuaries, and from their
pockets the desired shekels. But that
style of preaching doesn’t take effect
any more, for the people are becoming
intellectually free. Their reason and
good judgment must be appealed to,
for their fears and superstitions are
dying out. Sermons in this age of the
world must contain sound logic and
depth of thought. Otherwise they fall
on deaf ears, and indifference to church
matters can be the only result.
There is scarcely any limit to the |
man can do in a community. But the
ministerial lightweight who has miss-
ed his calling can only be regarded as
a dead weight to his church and a
mere parasite on society.

it seems to be the general verdict that
