Simple Home-Made Treatment Said
To Overcom: Rheumatism.
When an eminent authority an-
nounced in the Scranton (Pa.) 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.

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

Some Interesting Pennsylvania
Statisties.
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.
Of the total suicides, 605 were males
and 175 females. Of the various forms
of suicides, 254 were by firearms, 183 by
poison and 150 by hanging. Seven
suicides were less than 15 years of age,

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.
SIMPLE REMEDY Fon, LA GRIPPE.
La grippe coughs are dangerous, as
they frequently develop into pneua-
monia. Foley’s Honey and Tar net
only stops the cough, but heals and
strengthens the lungs so that no ser-
ious results need be feared. The gen-

no harmful drugs, and is in a yellow

An Interesting Political Fight.
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.

where. It gives quick relief in dyspep-

ment, malnutrition, nervousness, weak-

on the blood, as a thorough purifier,
makes it especially useful as a spring
medicine. This grand alterative tonie
