J. H. Hentz, a prominent candidate
for Prothonotary, has notified Tuk
Star that he has withdrawn from the
race for that office. Mr. Hentz is a
prominent and very worthy citizen of
Brothersvalley township, and he will
undoubtedly loom up very prominently
as a candidate for office at some future
time. Mr. Hentz is a man worthy and
competent to fill any of the county
offices. \
$100,000 paid by Dr. Shoop for any re-
cent case of Grippe or acute Cold that
a 25 cent box of Preventics will not
break. How is this for an offer? The
Doctor’s supreme confidence in these
little Candy Cold Cure Tablets—Pre-
ventics—is certainly complete. It’s a
$100, against 25 cents—pretty big odds.
And Preventics, remember, contain no
quinine, no laxative, nothing harsh nor
sickening. Pneumonia would never
appear if early colds were always brok-
en. Safe and sure for feverish child-

Mrs. John Rees and Mrs. J. C. Lich-
liter went to Pittsburg, Monday eve-
ning’ having received word that Miss
Marion Rees had to undergo another
operation. She was operated on for ap-
pendicitis, some time ago, but the oper-
ation was not as successful as her
many friends had hoped for. We trust
that the second operation will bring
about a recovery, but late reports con-
cerning her condition are very dis-
couraging.
Remember that when the Stomach
nerves fail or weaken, Dyspepsia or In-
digestion must alway s 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
Maurice and Frederick Cohen, the
well-known merchants who conduct
clothing stores in Somerset and Mey-
ersdale, were business, visitors in Salis-
bury, Tuesday evening. It was the
latter’s first visit to Salisbury, and he
expressed himself agreeably surprised
at the size and general good appear-
ance of our town, and he admits that
Salisbury holds high rank among the
towns of Somerset county. Maurice
conducted a store here, some years
ago, and while here made many friends
who are always glad to meet and greet
him.
William Johnson, a son of John L.
Johnson, of Elk Lick township, was
recently stricken down with typhoid
fever, at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Joseph Durst, near Grantsville, Md.,
where he is now battling with the dis-
ease. Numerous cases of thyphoid
fever have been breaking out in and
about Grantsville for nearly a year,
and it is hard to account for the gener-
al prevalence of the malady in a local-
ity that seems to be as well favored for
pure air, good water and general
healthfulness as that portion of Gar-
ret county.
This is what Hon. Jake Moore, State
Warden of Georgia,says of Kodol For
Dyspepsia: “E. C. Dewitt & Ce., Chi-
cago, 11l.—Dear Sirs—I have suffered
more than twenty years from indiges-
tion. About eighteen months agol

not digest a crust of corn bread and
could not retain anything on my stom-
ach. 1 lost 25 1bs.;in fact I made up
my mind that I could not live but a
short time, when a friend of mine rec-

it to please him and I was better in

ever did in my life and amin better
health than for many years. Kodol

Sunday School Tour of County.
Organized Sunday school work in
Somerset county, under t®e auspices of
the State Sabbath School Association,
during the present year promises to
bring the county to the front. A staff
of the strongest workers in the county
has been engaged to make the first
tour in the month of April. Daring
the month of May and June, a second
tour will be made to complete the or-
ganization of every district in the
county. :
Rev. George H.Jones, President of
the Somerset County Sabbath School
Association, of Windber, and Mr. S.
Forsythe, State Field Worker, of Daw:
son, last week arranged a schedule of
dates and places, as following: Con-
fluence 8, Rockwood7, Meyersdale 8,
Berlin 9, Shanksville 10, Listie 13, Bos-
well 14, Stoyestown 15, Somerset 16 and

and Mr. Forsythe, Miss Louisa E.
Ewalt, of the International Field Force,
of New York City, and Rev. E. 8, Hass-
ler, of Grove City, will be at all of the
foregoing places. Miss Ewalt has a
world-wide reputation as a primary
worker, and Rev. Hassler is one of the
foremost in the state.

ginning at eight o'clock, under the

body is cordially invited to attend, and
nobody should miss it. Facts and
figures will be given that will knock all

GIVEN UP TO DIE.
B. Spiegel, 1204 N. Virginia St.
Evansville, Ind., writes :“For five years
I was troubled with kidney and blad-
der affections which caused me much
pain and worry.” I lost flesh and™ was
all run down, and a year ago had to
abandon work entirely. I had three of
the best physicians, who did me no
good and I was practically given.up to
die. Foley's Kidney Cure was recom-
mended, and the first bottle gave me
great relief, and after taking the see-
ond bottle I was entirely cared.” Why
not let me help you? Sold by all drug-
gists. 4-1

NO USE TO DIE.
“I have found out that there is no use
to die of lung troubld as long as you
can get Dr. King’s New Discovery,’
says Mrs. J. P. White, of Rushboro, Pa.
“I would not be alive to-day, only for
that wonderful medicine. It loosens
up a cough quicker than anything else,
and cures lung disease even after the
case is pronounced hopeless.” This

Won't be Able to Canvass County.
John E. Lenox, the able editor of the
Berlin Record, who is also one of the
hustling candidates for Clerk of the
Courts, fears that he will not be able
to get out at all to make a personal
canvass for votes. The editor of THE
Star is in the same fix. Our many
good customers’ interests must be taken
care of first, and while the two editor-
ial candidates are at home working
about 18 hours a day, doing printing
for their home business men, as well as
for the candidates who are canvassing
the county, both are hoping that the
good people of Somerset county will
reward them liberally with their suf-
frages on April 11th. No men on earth
work harder for the interests of others
than do the country editors, and none
are more familiar with the people’s
needs, or better fitted to fill public of-
fice.
CHAMBERLAIN’'SCOUGH REMEDY
IS BOTH AGREEABLE AND
EFFECTIVE.
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy has
no superior for coughs, colds and croup,
and the fact that it is pleasant to take
and contains nothing in any way in-
jurious has made it a favorite with
mothers. Mr. W. S. Pelham, a mer-
chant of Kirksville, Iowa, says: “For
more than twenty years Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy has been my leading
remedy for all throat troubles. It is
especially successful in cases 8f croup.
Children like it and my customers who
have used it will not take any other.”

The State Has Wakened Up.
State -Fish Commissioner Meehan
has instructed his wardens that here-
after sawdust will be considered a
“poison,” under Section 26 of the Act of
1901, relative to the pollution of
streams, and that they shall prosecute
all persons who pollute streams with
this substance. There is scarcely a
district in Pennsylvania which is not
more or less affected. Many lunber
mills get rid of sawdust by dumping it
into streams, and there it kills the fish
by choking up their gills. The pity is
that this ruling was not made many
years sooner, says the Mt. Pleasant
Journal.
NO CASE ON RECORD
There is no case on record of cough
or cold resulting in pneumonia or con-
sumption after Foley’s Honey and Tar
has been taken, as it will stop your
cough and break up your cold quickly.

An Interesting Canvass.
The April number of The Ladies’
World, which has just reached our
table, has made an unusual departure
for a household magazine, and in con-
nection with its puzzle department—
which seems rather appropriate—has
obtained the opinions of its readers on
the presidential possibilities. The re-
sult is certainly interesting, for out of
over two thousand two hundred re-
plies, Roosevelt obtained 756, Taft 667,
Hughes 392, Bryan 236, Fairbanks, 38,
Johnson 382, La Follette 20, Cortelyou
12, Knox 12, Gray 12, Folk 11, Hay-
wood 8; Foraker, Hearst, Loeb, Berry,
Cannon, Daniels and Douglas getting
each a few. The editor in a brief com-
ment on the figures, states that the
letters come from every state in the
Union, and whether they have or have
not any significance, are at least a free
expression of opinion of the part of a
body of representative people. The
same issue cogtains the usual number
of excellent stories, pages showing the
spring fashions, departments devoted
to household and personal matters,
children’s reading, puzzles, etc., mak-
ing it one of unusual entertainment.
