Advice of Noted Authority. Also
Gives a Simple Home Preserip-

New is the time when the doctor gets
busy, and the patent medicine manu-
facturers reap the harvest, unless great
care is taken to dress warmly and keep
the feet dry. This is the advice of ar
old eminent authority, who says that
Rheuniatism and Kidney trouble
weather is here, and also tells what to
do in case of an attack.
Get from any good prescription phar-
macy one-half ounce Fluid Extract
Dandelion, one ounce Compound Kar-
gon, three ounces ‘Compound Syrup
Sarsaparilla. Mix by shaking in a bot-
tle and take a teaspoonful after meals
and at bedtime.
Just try this simple home-made mix-
ture at the first sign of Rheumatism, or
if your back aches or you feel that the
kidneys are not acting just right. This
is said to be a splendid kidney regula-
tor, and almost certain remedy for all
forms of Rheumatism, which is caused
by uric acid in the blood, which the
kidneys fail to filter out. Any one can
easily prepare this at home and at
small cost.
Druggists in this town and vicinity,
when shown the prescription, stated
that they can either supply these in-
gredients, or, if our readers perfer,
‘they will compound the mixture for
them.
DENVER surgeons have given a man a

CoxGress is hard at work, now, try-
ing to disagree on some kind of an
“elastic currency” bill. If there is
anything in the world that will be pop-
ular with the people,it would be an
element of elasticity in our currency,
sufficient to make it go around. Most
of the leaders in Congress are favorable
to asset currency, by which is meant
that national banks shall be allowed to
deposit first class securities with the
Treasury Department and issue notes
against them, the same as they now do
against Government bonds. At the
present time our currency rests princi-
pally on gold, silver and Government
bonds, and the proposed measure
would simply enlarge our monetary
basis, which ought to be done with all
haste. ‘There is a division, however, in
Congress, as to whether anything but
State and Municipal bonds should be
accepted as collateral or basis for bank
note circulation. One class holds that
the limit should end here, while anoth-
er class holds that to the above two
kinds should be added first class re 1
estate mortgages, and marketable
bonds of all sorts having established
values. It will be well to watch the in-
fluence of Wall Street in this legisla-
tion, for it is well known that Wall
Street does not want to see too much
of an enlargement of our currency, as
it will lessen its waning power.
CHAMBERLAIN’S COUGH REMEDY

A sequel in the closing of the Farm-

State Dispensary Located at Mey-
ersdale,
Patients with pulmonary tubercular
troubles will be treated at the State
Tuberculosis Dispensary No. 80, by the
County Medical Inspector, Dr. C. P.
Large. >
Somerset county is to have a free
dispensary for consumptives. It is lo-
eated in Meyersdale, and under the
cars of Dr. C., P. Large. It is now
open, and is located in the offices of
Drs. Meyers & Large, on Meyers ave-
nue. It will be open on Wednesdays
and Saturdays, from 1 o'clock to 3
o'clock in the afternoons.
These public dispensaries are intend-
ed for the treatment of patients who
are unable to pay for medical attend-
ance, and the object is to give instruc-
tions regarding sanitary conditions
and health, to patients who are unable
or unwilling to go to the State Sani-
tarium at Mont Alto, where they can
be treated. There the State has built
specially designed houses for those
suffering from pulmonary troubles, but
only those patients are accepted who
have a chance for improvement or re-
A number have been dis-
charged, cured of the disease. There
will be seventy-five of these dispen-
saries in the state, one in each of the
counties, and the remainder of that
number distributed in the large cities.
The one in Meyersdale will be known
as Tuberculosis Dispensary No. 30.
Commissioner Berkey Active.
Commissioner of Banking J. A. Ber-
key has anfounced a districting of the
state for bank examinations, and the
new scheme went into effect January
1st. The state has been divided into
nine districts, to which sixteen examin-
ers have been assigned.
Philadelphia is one district, with five
examiners, and Allegheny county an-
other, with four. The rest of the state
has been split into seven districts, each
with one examiner, and each having an
average of forty-five institutions.
There are fully 500 concerns on the
Banking Department list.
Banking Examiner James M. Cover,
of Somerset, has been assigned to one
of the Pittsburg districts.
Mr. Berkey says his department will,
if all plans work well, examine 470
State chartered banks and trust com-
panies, having combined assets of
$1,536,660,000, at least twice a year.
The aggregate assets of these concerns
is half a million more than that of the
612 national banks in Pennsylvania,
says the Somerset Standard.

SUICIDE.
J. T. Jeffery, a Former Salisbury
Merchant, Dies by His Own Hane.
Jesse T. Jeffery, a well known former
merchant of Salisbury, committed sui
cide by drinking carbolic acid, Monday
evening Inst, ‘at his home in Browns
ville. Pa. Fora number of years he
conducted a grocery in Salisbury, doing
a lucrative business, but finally failed
through intemperate habits acquired
just at the time when he began te
prosper. /
Last June he moved his family and
household effects to Brownsville, Pa
where he obtained employment ins
ower plant operated by the West
enn. Railways Company.” He worked
steadily and faithfully in his new posi
tion until a few weeks ago, when he
took to drink, lost his position, became
despondent and took his own life, com-
mitting the deed in the presence of his
family, expiring instantly.
Deceased was a son of Mr. and Mrs.
Richard Jeffery, who were residents of
this town for many years. His mothee
died some years ago, and the fathee,
who is aged more than four score years,
is an inmate of a home for aged people
at Harmony, Pa., where at the preseat
time he is quite ill.
Before Jesse T. Jeffery became a vie-
tim of intemperance, he was a most
excellant citizen, and even to the end
he retained many admirable qualities.
He was an honest merchant, and at ne
time was he ever known to misrepre-
sent anything he sold or to take ad-
vantage of a customer. He was a
natural business getter, and when net
drinking was a most affable, oblig-
ing and courteous gentleman. He
possessed generosity and kindness of
heart in a large degree, and in spite of
his weaknesses he always had many
warm friends.
An eminently respectable family,
consisting of a wife, two sons and .a
daughter, to whom deceased seemed
‘much devoted, survive him, and they
have the sympathy of the whole com-
munity in their sad bereavement. De-
ceased is also survived by a half broth-
er'and a half sister—Jameg P. Lutz, of
Kansas City, and Mrs. Z. W. Miller, &f
Lonaconing, Md, 2
The funeral took place today at one
o'clock p. m., under the &uspices of the
Meyersdale lodge K. of P., of which de-
ceased was a member. The Rev. Mr.
Stover, pastor of the St. Paul Reformed
congregation, was the officiating clergy-
man, and the remains have beer
laid to rest in the Salisbury I. 0.0.E.
cemetery.
Jesse T. Jeffery was aged 40 years
and six months, lacking two days,
Peace to his ashes. We respect his
memory for the many good qualities
he possessed, and may the mantel of
charity cover all his faults.
A HIGHER HEALTH LEVEL.
“I have reached a higher health level
since I began using Dr. King’s New
Life Pills,” writes Jacob Springer, of
West Franklin, Maine. “They keep my
stomach, liver and bowels working just
right.” If these pills disappoint you
on trial, money will be refunded at E.
H. Miller’s drug store. 25c. 2-1
DRASTIC ACTION
Will Be Taken by Anti-Saloén
League Against Liquor Interests
in Washington County.
The Anti-Saloon League has deter-
mined upon unusual steps in the fight
in Washington county. R. H. Meloy,
local attorney for the organization, an-
nounced, Saturday, that proceedings
would be begun at once to declare
every brewery in Washington county a
nuisance. He says he is confident suck
a declaration will be made by the
court, for he asserts sufficient evidenae
will be produced to show that eaeh of
the three local breweries is operating
as such.
According to the anti-saloon agents
they bave the co-operation of manu-
facturing concerns and coal operators.
“Coal companies,” said Mr. Meloy, on
Saturday, “claim that this deluging of
mining communities with beer fre-
quently renders the miners, especially
the foreigners, unfit for work, and at
times the mines are almost forced to
close down for lack of men.” If the
movement is successful in Washington,
similar proceedings will be taken
against other breweries in the country,
says the Connellsville Courier.
WHY COLDS ARE DANGEROUS.
If you would be immune from dis
ease, keep the system healthy. Eack
successive cold weakens the constitu-
tion and renders infectious diseases
more liable. Chamberlain’s Cougk
Remedy will cure your cold promptly
