Sold by all dealers. 4-1 Tue STAR was in error, last week, when it stated that Harry Romesburg and Albert Lung had been sent to one of the State reformatories for burglar- izing Haselbarth’s store. The boys have been sent home,and we under- stand that they are here on probation, as it were,and will be permitted to snuff the free air of liberty as long as they remain good, which in the opinion of everybody who knows them, will not be long, and not likely to be at all. They are dangerous lads to have run- ning at large. Tickling or dry Coughs will quickly loosen when using Dr. Shoop’s Cough Cure. And itis so thoroughly harm- less, that Dr. Shoop tells mothers to use nothing else, even for very young babies. The wholesome green leaves and tender stems of a lung healing mountainous shrub give the curative properties to Dr. Shoop’s Cough Cure. It calms the cough, and heals the sen- sitive bronchial membranes. No opi- um, no chloroform, nothing harsh used to injure or suppress. Demand Dr. Shoop’s. Take no other. Sold by all dealers. 4-1 One of the most remarkably well preserved men of Somerset county, according to several of our exchanges, is Hiram Burket, of Allegheny town- ship. He is 78 years of age and is the father of thirty-three children, nineteen of whom are living. He was married three times, and the last union was productive of seventeen children. He is a veteran of the Civil War, and notwith- standing his advanced age, it is said that he is yet able to cut three cords of wood a day. He has never been ill more than a few days during his life, and only just last summer he was able to walk forty miles a day. Remember that when the Stomach nerves fail or weaken, Dyspepsia or In- digestion must always follow. But, strengthen these same weak inside nerves with Dr. Shoop’s Restorative, and then see how quickly health will again return. Weak Heart and Kid- ney nerves can also be strengthened with the Restorative, where Heart pains, palpitation, or Kidney weakness is found. Don’t drug the Stomach, nor stimulate the Heart or Kidneys. That is wrong. Go to the cause of these ail- ments. Strengthen these weak inside nerves with Dr. Shoop’s Restorative and get well. A simple, single test will surely tell. For sale by all dealers. 4-1 With the extensive improvements in view and their early completion asa chief matter, the B. & O. R. R. has placed a corps of their surveyors in Rockwood. They are now working be- tween this place and Somerset, the ob- ject being to make the survey neces- sary for double tracking the S. & C. branch between “Q” Junction and Rockwood. Later they will complete their surveys on the other side of the Casselman river in order to runa line parallel to the present one between Pittsburg and Wheeling. In the near future we have pretty good reasons for believing that the “Q” Junction yards will be moved to Rockwood, the most natural place for the handling of the A Very Creditable Show. “Kidnapped,” a four-act comedy drama rendered in Hay’s opera house, Tuesday evening, by Lonaconing (Md.) talent, under the management of Dixon & Brady, drew a large audience. It was a very creditable show, and those who attended were well pleased. The actors were Mrs. Grace Cadden, Joseph Brady, Miss Katie Douglas, Editor J. J. Robinson of the Lonaconing Star, Aug. Eichhorn, Jr, Wm. R. Dixon, Miss Ida Jones, Andrew Dick, Miss Mary J. Dixon, J. Elliott Baldwin and James McKinnon. All of the actors played their parts well, and we trust that it will not be their last visit to Salisbury in the ca- pacity of actors. The editor of this paper is very sorry that he was out of town at the time, and doubly sorry that he did not have the opportunity of meeting Editor Robinson. However, he had the pleasure of meeting three of the company—DMessrs. Baldwin, Dick and another gentleman whose name we cannot now recall, who fa- vored this paper with a call. The company is made up of a fine set of ladies and gentlemen, and the next time they come to Salisbury, one and all are invited to pull THE Star’s latch- string, walk right in and make them- selves at home.

Interesting Sessions Held at Grants- ville, Md. The sessions of the Farmers’ Insti- tute held at Grantsville, Md., March 2, 1908, opened at 10:30 a. m. The first topic discussed was that of “Feed and care of the calf,” by Edward Van Alstyne. 4 Among many other things, Mr. Alstyne impressed the fact that careful selection of calues for both dairy and stock is the first essential, thus avoid- ing scrubs in the herd. He also men- tioned that thoroughbreeding is the most importani factor in raising calves for profit. } For dairy calves he recommends the Jersey, from the standpoint that they can be raised cheaper, and when once in the dairy, produce the most and best flavored butter, at a minimum cost. The second topic, “Potato Growing,” was discussed by John Jeannin, Jr. Mr. Jeannin had three objective points in his lecture, viz: lst,prepara- tion of the soil before planting; 2nd, selection of seed, and 3rd, result of spraying. He strongly advocates spraying, both for bug and blight, the latter being the greatest eneny the potato’ farmer has in this section. According to his sta- tistics, the crop can be increased from 30 to 60 per cent. by ‘using the Bor- deaux mixture for spraying. The afternoon session opened with an interesting talk on “Better forest management,’ by Prof. F. W. Besley. He impressed the fact that our forests should be better protected against the ravages of forest fires, as well as the annihilation of timber by the ax and saw, stating that timber will sooner or later be very scarce, and prices are al- ready “sky high.” The next subject for discussion was “The production of good butter,” by Mr. Alstyne. Being a dairyman by profession, he launched out on the sub- ject in an interesting manner. His talk was based on the principle of economizing labor and expense, and at the same time have a good product for market. To accomplish this he advo- cates cleanliness, in order to produce a good flavor, and the latest improved utensils. for handling the product cheaply, the separator being named as the most important. Next came Mr. Jeannin with his grand description of the little hen and her mighty works. His topic was “Poultry keeping by the farmer.” His lecture was both instructive and hu- morous, and he showed very clearly that the hen is the best money maker the farmer can keep, if properly cared for. A question box was open, and through this medium a number of interesting and instructive discussions were stim- ‘ulated. : The institute was well attended, every available seat being occupied, and quite a number of people had to stand. The interest shown was very grati- fying, which goes to prove that the farmers are being awakened by these institutes, and we believe the time is not far hence when every farmer will attend, as he should. GOOD FOR EVERYBODY. Mr. Norman R. Coulter, a prominent architect, in the Delbert Building, San Francisco, says: “I fully endorse all that has been said of Electric Bitters as a tonic medicine. It is good for ev- erybody. It corrects stomach, liver and kidney disorders in a prompt and efficient manner and builds up the sys- tem.” [Electric Bitters is the best | spring medicine ever sold over a drug- gist’s counter; as a blood purifier it is unequaled. 50c. at E.
