ply on his subseription to the “Twink-
ler.”

Miss Minnie Snyder won the queen
of beauty prize voted for at Berlin, Pa.,
through the Gleaner. Ot course, the
name (Snyder) had a great deal to do
with it. It is the only name that can
be compared like an adjective—snide,
snider, snidest. She is good, better,
best, and, being a Minnie, she is a good
bait for a prospective husband.—Cum-
berland Alleganian.
Mr. Buckner, Vice President of the
New York Life Insurance Company,
said to an employe, who asked for a
raise in pay, “I would feel much more
inclined to double your salary if you
lived on half that which you now have.
This is no business of mine, but I ex-
press this to you as a’ friend.” Mr.
Buckner’s remarks should be thought-
fuliy considered by many.
Does your back ache? Do you have
sharp pains 1n the side and the small of
the back? This is due, usually, to kid-
ney trouble. Take DeWitt’s Kidney
and Bladder Pills. They will promptly
relieve weak back, backache, rheumatic
pains and all Kidney and Bladder dis-
orders. Sold and recommended by E.
tH. Miller. 9-1

tend and take the children with you.

bury for a number of years, and it is

ney Remedy will stop the irregulari-

bladder trouble that is not beyond the
reach of medicine. Sold by Elk Lick

time is also looking up business for the
school he represents. Prof. Meese is a
native of Greenville township, and in
years past taught a number of terms
of school in Salisbury and vicinity. As
an educator he ranks very high.
While Kennedy's Laxative Cough
Syrup is especially recommended for
children, it is, of course, just as good
for adults. Children like to take it be-
cause it tastes nearly as good as maple
sugar. Its laxative principle drives
the cold from the system by a gentle,
natural, yet eopious action of the
bowels. Sold by E. H. Miller. 9-1
If there is anything that tortures an
editor more than anytning else, it§is to
publish a $15 or $20 obitu ry norce
about some old, promicent citizen who
never had the manhood to take his
home paper. Editors frequently put in
such notices at request of relatives and
friends, but it grinds them to eulogize
a man to the skies who was too stingy
to support his home paper. A three-
line notice is all such fellows deserve.
Pain anywhere stopped in 20 minutes
sure with one of Dr. Shoop’s Pink Pain
Tablets. The formula is on the 25-cent
box. Ask your Doctor or
about this formula! Stops womanly
pains, headache, pains anywhere.

trial, to prove value of his Headache,
or Pink Pain Tablets. Sold by all

Tell me, ye winged winds that
around my pathway roar, do ye not
know some quiet spot where wives
clean house no more; some lone, se-
questered dale, some island. ocean-
girt, where life is not one ceaseless war
with cobwebs and with dirt; where
only nature’s carpet spreads beneath
their tired feet, and wretched men are
ne’er compelled its emerald folds to
beat? The breezes fanned my heated
face, and said: “Beat on? There’s no
such place.”
The little attacks of stomach trouble
and stomach disorders will undoubledly
lead to chronic dyspepsia unless you
take something for a sufficient time to
strengthen the stomach and give it a
chance to get well. If you take Kodol
in the beginning, the bad attacks of
Dyspepsia will be avoided, but if you
allow these little attacks to go unheed-
ed it will take Kodol a longer time to
put your stomach in good condition
again. Get a bottle: of Kodol today.

Once more Dr. Osler’s theories have
been knocked silly. Alfred Wagner,
who is somewhat past 76 years of age,
broke a rock several days ago that
would have weighed about a ton anda
half, into small fragments, in fifteen
has been looking for another rattler
£| nerves.
minutes by the watch. He used a
14-1b. sledge, and he handled the big
hammer in a manner that would out-
class the average young man of 21
years. In fact some of the young men
working at the borough stone crusher
had several times tried their strength
on the big bowlder, but each time gave
up breaking it as a bad job.
Summer complaints and other se-
rious ailments common in hot weather
can be traced to the stomach nine
times out of ten. Keep the stomach in
good order right now by keeping a bot-
tle of Kodol handy in the house all the
time, but especially during this month.
Take Kodol whenever you feel that you
need it. That is the only time you
need to take Kodol. Just when you
need it; then you will not be troubled
with sour stomach, belching, gas on the
stomaeh, bloating, dyspepsia and indi-
gestion. Sold by E. H. Miller. 9-1
The will of Elias Hershberger, late
of Elk Lick township, was probated
Monday morning. He directed that
the sum of $2,000 be set aside and
placed in the hands of Joel Hersh-
berger, Milton Hershberger, Jonas D.
Yoder and C. W. Bender, in sums of
$500 each, the interest on which at 5
per cent. shall be paid to his wife,
Elizabeth Hershberger, as long as. she
remains his widow. He bequeathed
the rest of his estate to his children:
Annie Shetler, of Towa: Sarah Yoder,
of Summit township ; Ada Hershberger
and Cora Bender, of Garrett county,
Md., Joel, Milton and Harvey Hersh-
berger, share and share alike. Joel
Hershberger is named as executor.
Paper pillows are all the go, now,
and are easily made. Tear the paper
into pieces not bigger than your finger
nail and put them into a pillow sack of
drilling or light ticking. They are
very cool for hot climates and much
superior to feather pillows. The news-
papers are printing appeals for them
for hospitals. Newspaper is not nice
to use, as there is a disagreeable odor
from printer’s ink, but white and brown
paper, and old envelopes are best. As
they are torn, stuff them into an old
pillow case until a sufficient quantity
is had. The easiest way is to cut the
paper in strips about half an inch wide,
and then tear or eut across. The finer
it is the lighter it makes the pillow.
August time tells on the nerves.
But that spiritless, no ambition feeling
can be easily and quickly altered by
taking what is known by druggists
everywhere as Dr. Shoop’s Restorative.
Within 48 hours after beginning to use
the Restorative, improvement will be
noticed. Of course, full health will not
immediately return. The gain, how-
ever, will surely follow. And best of
all, you will realize and feel your
strength and ambition as it is return-
ing. Outside influences depress first
the “inside nerves,” then the stomach,
Heart, and Kidneys will usually fail.
Strengthen these failing nerves with
Dr. Shoop’s Restorative and see how
quickly health will be yours again.
Sold by all dealers. 9-1
.Don’t forget that your neighbor,
though he differs fram you politically,
nay be just as honest in his convie-
tions as you, that this is a free country,
where freedom of opinion is one of the
biggest of the broad foundation stones
of our. government, and there would be
an end of that form of government
without it. Be -tolerant, therefore,
rational, patriotic and good-natured.
Stand by your convictions, and let your
n-ighbor stand by his, if so disposed.
i. ep eool. Argue polities if you will,
but dv ii calmly and reasonably, and
bear this fact always in mind, that just
as you have made up your mind un-
alierably as to the way in which you
will ‘vote, ninety-nine hundredths of
the voting population has done the
same thing.
The footprints of Dyspepsia have
been directly traced to the Stomach
When these “inside nerves”
fail, indigestion and stomach distress
must surely result. For this, drug-
gists everywhere are supplying a pre-
scription known as Dr. Shoop’s Re-
storative. First, these tiny inside
Stomach, Heart, and Kidney nerves
fail. Then gas, belching, Heart palpi-
tation, or failing Kidneys follow. Don’t
drug the Stomach, or stimulate the
Heart or Kidneys. That is wrong.
Strengthen these failing nerves with
Dr. Shoop’s Restorative. It is the
nerves, not the organs that are calling
for help. Within 48 hours after start-
ing the Restorative, you will realize
the gain. A test will tell. Sold by all

A city calendar salesman and hot air
vender was canvassing this town this
week. To those who were disloyal
enough to the home print shop to send
their cash away from home in prefer-
ence to spending it with the home
printer, the fakir was all peaches and
cream, but to those who informed him
that they preferred to buy their calen-
dars from the home printer, a man who
patronizes them in return, the city
chap was very insolent and insulting,
The business men who send their cash
out of town for that which can be pro-
cured at home just as cheaply, as is
the case in the calendar business, are
on a par with the suckers who patron-
izé the big city mail order stores in
preference to the home merchants. In
other words, they are sending their
money where it will not return to
them, which is setting a bad example,
one which is always hurtful to the
country town. We have the finest line
of calendars at Tae STAR office for the
1909 trade that war ever shipped to
Somerset county, and no city fakir can
undersell us, either. >
