Times that he had found a new way to treat that dread American disease, Rheuma- tism, with just common, every-day drugs found in any drug store, the physicians were slow indeed to attach much importance to his claims. This was only a few months ago. Today nearly every newspaper in the country, even the metropolitan dailies, is an- nouncing it and the splendid results achieved. It is so simple that any one can prepare it at home at small cost. It is made up as follows: Get from any good prescription pharmacy, Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Con:- pound Syrup Sarsaparilla. three ounces. Mix by shaking in a bottle and take in teaspoonful doses after each meal an |i at bedtime. These are all simple in- gredients, making an absolutely harm- less home remedy at little cost Rheumatism, as every one knowg, is a sympton of deranged kidneys. It is a condition produced by the failure of the kidneys to properly filter or strain from the blood the uric acid and other matter which, if not eradicated, either in the urine or through the skin pores. remains in the blood. decomposes and forms about the joints and muscles, causing the untold suffering and de- formity of rheumatism. This prescription is said to be a splendid healing, cleansing and invig- orating tonic to the kidneys, and gives almost immediate relief in all forms of bladder and urinary troubles and back- ache. He also warns people in a lead- ing New York paper against the dis- criminate use of many patent medi- cines. Ir Cortelyoni is still running, it’s on rubber tires. fem— lp Aree: .

Suaw has resizhud his | $25.000 job as president of the (! arnegie Trust Company, in New York. Some of our former life insurance presidents will wonder why he ever consented to work for such ridiculous wages, any- way. Gov. HugHES’ letter to the New York Republican club in relation to his can- didacy for the Presidency is in re- freshing contrast to the feverish and often demagogical self-seeking that’ characterizes present-day politics. It recalls the early days of the Republic, when the office sought the man, and not the man the office. M. E. STEERE, a citizen of Berlin, died last Thursday morning from the effects of excessive drinking. Deceas- ed was a shoemaker by trade, and a wife and two children survive him. Of course, the fellows who sold or gave the poor, weak man the booze that killed him, will smile as supinely and look just as innocent as though they were in no way responsible for his death. But they are, just the same. THE changed Sandition of political aTairs and the scrupulous care requir- ed of candidates in the expenditure of money while soliciting votes, are point- ed out: by the Harrisburg Telegraph, when it says: “The corrupt practices act, whieh has been interpreted by the courts to mean that an aspirant for public office cannot influence a voter, even to the extent of purchasing a cigar for his enjoyment, has changed the old order of things in political cam- paigns. Time was when the rounds of candidates were looked forward to by the patrotic voter as an occasion of great personal interest. But all these things have given away to straight argument in favor of the candidate, either by himself or his friends.” CHILD’S LIFE SAVED BY CHAM- BERLAIN’S COUGH REMEDY. Mrs. John Englehardt, of Gera, Mich., tells of the anxious moments spent over her little two-year-old daughter who had taken a hard cold resulting in croup. She gays: ‘I am satisfied that ifit bad not been for Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy she would have choked to death. I gave this medicine every ten minutes, and she soon began to throw up the phlegm. I can recom- mend it ir the highest terms, as I have another child that was cured in the same way.” Sold at Miller's Drug Store. 3-1 —_—————— Liquor License Applications.

During the year 1906, there were 167,256 children born in the state, the birth rate among the foreigners being about double the per thousand rate among the native born. Of the total number of children born, there were over 7,000 more boys than girls. There were 183 sets of twins, and 15 sets of triplets. Illegitimate births numbered 4,128. More children were born in August than in ane other month, while the lowest number occurred in April. . During the same year, 10,180 violent deaths occurred in the state. These deaths were distributed among the principal forms of violence as fol- lows: Suicides, 708; fractures, 537; burns and scalds, 847; drowning, 155; accidental gunshot wounds, 149; in- juries in mines, 983; railroad accidents, 2387 ; homicides, 365.

Sold by All Druggists. 3-1 Refuse any but the genuine in the yel- | EDITORS GRATEFUL TO PENROSE. The Fennsylvinia State Editorial Association, composed of newspapers from all over the staie, and of every | political belief, adopted resolutions | thanking United States Senator Pen- | rose for his fight against what are com-- | considered oppressive an unfair rega- lations of the Postal authorities. The resolution recites that the Post- office department has issued an order that subscribers to daily newspapers in arrears three months, subseribers to tri-weeklies in arrears six months, sub- scribers to weeklies in arrears one year, and subscribers to other publi- cations in arrears a proportionate period of time, shall not, be counted im the legitimate list of subscribers, aod copies mailed to such persons shall not be accepted for mailing at Second class postage rates, and that Senator Pem- rose, who is chairman of the commit- tee on postoffices and postroads, has succeeded in having the enforcemeat of this order posponed until April 1, so that the publishers of the United States may be given a proper hearing, The Association protests against-the enforcement of this “unjust and ia- iquitious” ruling, and urges all publish- ers in the state to communicate at once with Senators Penrose and Knox, and also with their respective congress- men, urging them to use their utmost endeavors to have this obnoxious order revoked.

The coming contest for Justice of the Peace, in Elk Lick township, prom- ises to be a battle royal. The Republi- can nominee is the venerable David Fuller, aged about 84 years, but still as full of life, snap and energy as most. men of 40. David of old, when little more than a youth, calmly walked out" to do battle with the mighty giants Goliath, and Scripture records that he easily vanquished his antagonist with three smooth ‘stones taken from the bed of a brook. The David in this case is neather a youth nor a shepherd, nor will he throw stones at his opponent. But his friends and backers declare that by the time the votes are courted, his opponent will feel much as did the shorn lambs in the flock of David of old, when the winds of those ancient times blew fierce and chill. Christner is a man aged about 54 years, and he, too, has his friends and backers. Although the candidate of the minority party, the friends of Christner argue that he is more than a match for the venerable David, who is the victor of more than one hotly con- tested political battle, and who has served in the capacity of Justice of the Peace. Both candidates, in physique, con. form the description of Shakespeare's typical*Squire” mentioned in his Seven Ages of Man, and that fact added to the fact that both men have long been bit- ter and unrelenting political foes, will make the contest very interesting We have nothing in it, but we will snuff the smoke of battle from afar, and may the best mam win. Receiver for M. & S. Street Railway Company. Following closely upon the adverse opinion of the Supreme court te the- Meyersdale & Salisbury Street Rail- way Company, was the appearance of attorneys in the United States court, asking Judge Buflington to appoint a receiver for the company. The request was made at the instance of R. W. Marshall & Co., of New York. In 1906 the New York company fur- nished five interurban cars and twe- work cars for the railway company, and received $12,500 in bonds and $1000 cash. A balance of $9000 is claimed to be due them. a NEIGHBORHOOD FAVORITE. Mrs. E. D. Charles, of Harbor, Maine, speaking of Electric Bitters, says: “Ig is a neighborhood favorite here with us.” It deserves to be a favorite every- where. It gives quick relief in dyspep- sia, liver complaint, kidney derange- ment, malnutrition, nervousness, weak- ness and general debility. Its action on the blood, as a thorough purifier, makes it especially useful as a spring medicine. This grand alterative tonie | is sold under guarantee at E. H, Mil- | ler’s drug store. 50c.
