These moments they will carry through life with them. It seems a hard matter to establish upon the proper footing the confiden- tial relations which should obtain be- tween parent and child, and which are so important to the child later. I have seen the grief of many a mother who finds that her daughter will confide to the veriest stranger matters that she will not speak of to her mother, because “Mother will make such a fuss about it” “Mother cannot understand it.” You mothers, whom your daughters need as confidents, whom your sons grow away from,and who grieve in secret over this, analyze the cause. You have, perhaps, been too busy look- ing after the material welfare of your children, or have left them too much to others. Begin at the very beginning to be with your children at bedtime. Go over with them the events of the day as il you were one of them. It is thus that you will come to the secrets of their young lives; it is thus that you will win their confidences, which will form a habit from which they will not depart in after life.—The Care of Chil- dren,” in The Ladies’ World for March: Everything taken into tho stomach should be digested fully within a cer- tain time. When you feel that your stomach is not in good order, that the food you have eaten is not being di- gested, take a good, natural digestant that will do the work the digestive juices are not doing. The best remedy known today for al] stomach troubles is Kodol, which is guaranteed to give prompt relief. It isi a natural digest- ant ; it digests whatiyou eat, it is pleas- ant to take and is tha here by E. H Miller. A Good Idea. The Berkeley Springs Messenger taught the teachers of Morgan county a good lesson, last week, by publishing one of their reports of an educational meeting verbatim et literatim et punc- tuatim. The report plainly showed that educational meetings are needed. —Cumberland Alleghanian. 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 Enthusiastic Anti-Saloon League Meeting. The Anti-Saloon League meeting held in Somerset, last Thursday, was largely attended. Representatives from all parts of the county were there, and the meeting was an enthusiastic one. Stir- ring addresses were made by prominent speakers, committees were appointed to arrange for an aggressive campaign, etc., and you can lookout for a great fight between the saloon and anti-sa- loon forces at the primary election to be held on the 11 of April. I wish that I might talk with all sick ones about the actual cause of Stomach, Heart and Kidney ailments. To ex- plain in parson how weak Stomach nerves leads to Stomach weakness, I am sure would interest all. And it is weak Hearts or weak Kidneys. This is why my prescription nerves simply need more strength. My Restorative is the only prescription made expressly for these nerves.

George 8S. who ' recently moved to Damascus, Va., a small vil- lage near the Tennessee border, has the following to say in a recent letter addressed to THE STAR: “] am always anxious to keep in touch with the Somerset county Dutch, and wish to be classed as one. We are comfortably locited here. The moun- tains of North Carolina and Tennessee are in plain view. What is called the White Top Mountain has been covered with snow since the latter part of Oec- tober, but we have not had over two inches of snow in the valley, and that only laid a couple of hours. “Sleighs and sleds are no good here. You can see yoke after yoke of oxen hitched to wagons, twisting and crowd- ing their way along the highway, one usually about four feet ahead of its mate. “We are all well and happy.” L n LA GRIPPE AND PNEUMONIA.

Last Sunday morning there occurred at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Jen- nie Frazee, at Selbysport, Md., one of the most remarkable women in Garrett county, Md.—Mrs. Lydia Compton Matthews. Deceased was aged almost 92 years, and the doctor called during her last illness was the only physician she had any need of during the last 60 years. Mrs. Matthews was the mother of Ex- County Treasurer W. 8. Matthews, of Somerset, and Mrs. Tunison Glotfelty, of this place. Her maiden name was Conipton, and she was an aunt of the late Samuel Compton, of Elk Lick town- ship. She was indeed a remarkable woman, and few old people could relate more interesting reminiscences than she could. Mrs. Matthews was married at the age of 18 years, and im mediately after after her marriage she and her husband took charge of one of the many famous old taverns along the old National Pike. They had for their guests at times such men as General Andrew Jackson, Santa Ana,the great Mexican general, and many other prominent men, includ- ing some noted Indian chiefs on their way to Washington to treat with the “Great White Father” Mrs. Matthews was a famous cook and landlady, also noted for many good traits of character, and in her younger days was considered one of the hand- somest women tn the country. She re- tained all her mental faculties to the last. NEGLECTED COLDS THREATEN LIFE. [From the Chicagb Tribune.) “Don’t trifle with a cold,’ is good ad- vice for prudent men and women. It may be vital in the case of a child. Proper food, good ventilation, and dry, warm clothing are the proper safe- guards against colds. If they are maintained through the changeable weather of autumn, winter and spring, the chances of a surprise from ordi- nary colds will be slight. But the or- dinary light cold will become severe if neglected, and « well established ripe cold is to the germs of diphtheria what honey is to the bee. The greatest menace to child life at this season cf the year is the neglected cold.” Wheth- er it is a child or adult, the cold slight or severe, the very best treatment that can be adopted is to give Chamber- lain’s Cough Remedy.
