Everything taken into tho stomach should be digested fully within a cer- tain time.

Last Saturday and Sunday we had the worst snow blizzard of the season, and probably the worst for several years. Snow fell in large quantities, and the wind blew a terriffic gale for about 48 hours, piling the snow in huge heaps.

Zufall Jone of the associate edi- tors of the Meyersdale Republican, was a business visitor in Salisbury, on Tuese day. He called on the editor while here. whom he found confined to his room, sick. It goes without saying that Mr. Zufall was avery welcome caller, as he worked in THE STAR print- ery for a number of years, and was a faithful employe. The editor is always pleased to meet and greet old friends, especially those who used to work shoulder to shoulder with him. At times when you don’t feel just right, when you have a bad stomach, take something right away that will assist digestion; not something that will stimulate for a time, but something that will positively do the very work that the stomach performs under ordi- | nary and normal conditions, something | that will make the food digest. To do this you must take a natural digestant | like Kodol For Dyspepsia. Kodol is a | scientific preparation of vegetable acids | with natural digestants, and contains the same juices found in a healthy stomach. Each dose will digest more than 3,000 grains of good food. Tt is sure to afford prompt relief; it digests what you eat and is pleasant to take. Sold by E. H. Miller. 3-1 We are indeed sorry to note that | Editor Smith. of the Meyersdale Com- sweeping the country. | mercial, has recently been suffering severely with heart trouble.

Just as we are about to go to press we learn of the death of Mrs. Laura Winterberg. eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. 8. C. Loechel, who resides on a farm about 14 miles east of Grants- ville, Md., died last night. Deceased leaves a very young baby, and several other children and a husband. She was twice married, her first husband being Albert Stanton, who died several years ago. She suffered greatly since the birth of her last child, and her death was daily expected during the past two weeks. We have learned nothing of the funeral arrangements. I wish that I might talk with all sick ones about the actual cause of Stomach, Heart and Kidney ailments. To ex- plain in p2rson how weak Stomach nerves leads to Stomach weakness, 1 am sure would interest all. And it is the same with weak Hearts or weak Kidneys. This is why my prescription —Dr. Shoop’s Restorative—so promptly reaches ailments of the Stomach, Heart and Kidneys. It is wrong to drug the Stomach or stimulate the Heart or Kidneys. These weak inside nerves simply need more strength. My Restorative is the only prescription made expressly for these nerves. Next to seeing you personally, will be to send you free, my new booklet entitled, “What To Do” 1 will also send sam- ples of my Restorative as well. Write for the book today. It will surely in- terest you.” Address Dr. Shoop, Box 8 Racine, Wis.

A tin horn is tied to a pole, and there 1s a long rubber tube attached to the horn. The horn is pushed into Holes or burrows occupied by the rabbits. One of the men blows the horn through the long hose, and the other holds the sack at the opening. The thing worked all rigbt until they thrust it into a burrow occupied by a pair of skunks. The pair “busted” out into the bag, and the hunters grabbed their noses and ran. Now they want to invent a nose that can smell in ad- vance as to what's in the hole.—Cum- berland Alleganian.
