Kodol will, without doubt, make your stomach strong and will almost instantly relieve you of all the symp- toms of indigestion. It will do this be- cause it is made up of the natural di- gestive juices of the stomach so com- bined that it completely digests the food just as the stomach will do it, so you see Kodol can’t fail to help you and help you promptly. It is sold here by E. H. Miller. 10-1 Rev. D. R. Ellis, late of Rockwood, died at Annville, Pa., last week.

Dur- ing the past few years much of this complaint has been made unnecessary by the use of DeWitt’s Kidney and Bladder Pills.

Kodol will, in. a very short time. enable the stomach to do the work i should do, and the work it should do is to digest all the food you ent. When the stomach can’t do it, Kodol does it for it, and in the meantime the stomach is getting stronger and able to take up its regular, natural work again. Kodol digests all you eat. It makes the stomach sweet and it is pleasant to take. It is sold here by E. H. Miller. 10-1 Oscar Wagner, who some time ago had an operation performed for the re moval of a cancer, went to Pittsburg again, Tuesday last, tc have another operation performed for the removal of a bad sore left by the first operation. We have heard nothing concerning him since his departure, but we earnestly hope that the operation he went to un- dergo will prove successful, and that he will soon be a well man. When you have a cold you may be sure that if has been caused indirectly by constipation, and consequently you must first of all take something to move the bowels. This is what has made Kennedy’s Laxative Cough Syrup so successful and so generally demanded. It does not constipate like most of the old-fashioned cough cures, but on the other hand it gently moves the bowels and at the same time heals irritation and allays inflammation of the throat. Sold by E. H. Miller. 10-1 Miss Jennie Davis, of Confluence, met with quite a serious accident, Tuesday, while visiting her Salisbury cousins, the Misses Della and Alice Beale. Miss Davis fell down the cellar stairs, injuring herself so badly that she had to be taken to a hospital.

We trust that the lady will have a speedy recovery. brought to THE STAR office this morn- ing, consisting of a half-bushel of choice old-time sweet pippin apples. Among other good qualities that Nor- man possesses, generosity is one of his prominent traits. We thank him very much for the treat, and he cap rest as- sured that the fine fruit is being great- ly relished by the editorial family. Drive Rheumatism out of the blood with Dr. Shoop’s Rheumatic Remedy and see how quickly pain will depart. Rub-on’s never did reach the real dis- ease. Rheumatism isn’t in the skin. It’s deep down—it’s constitutional. Getting rid of the pain, is, after all, what counts. That is why Dr. Shoop’s Rheumatic Bemedy goes by word of mouth from one to another, And here- in lies the popularity of this Remedy. It is winning defenders everywhere. Tablets or liquid. Sold by all deal- ers. . 10-1 A Mr. Ringer, of Davenport, Neb, was a caller at THe Star office, last Friday morning, but the editor being absent from the office, did not have the pleasure of meeting the visitor. Mr. Ringer was a former resident of this county, but we somehow can’t quite re- call him, therefore do not know actly what Ringer family he belongs to. If he is still in the vicinity, we trust he will call again, for we are always glad to meet and converse with the “Frosty Sons of Thunder” who have wandered away from their native heath, but oc- casiomally return for a visit to the dear old scenes of youth. / Tickling or dry Coughs will quickly loosen when using Dr. Shoop’s Cough Remedy. And it is so thoroughly harmless, that Dr. Shoop tells mothers to use nothing else, even for very young babies. The wholesome green jeaves and tender stems of a lung heal- ing mountainous shrub give the cura- tive properties to Dr. Shoop’s Cough Remedy. It calms the cough, and heals the sensitive bronchial mem- branes. No opium, no chloroform, nothing harsh used to injure or sup- press. Demand Dr. Shoop’s. Accept no other. Sold by all dealers. 10-1 Joseph Miller, a son of Daniel Miller, of Somerset, was a most welcome caller at THE Star office, last Friday. Joseph is a resident of Arizona, where he lo- cated in 1892, after first having resided in Thayer county, Nebraska, for a few years. He is a prosperous farmer and an all-around good fellow, and in 1876 he and the editor worked in the vicinity of Meyersdale, usually spending their Sundays together. It seemed good to talk over our good old boyhood days, but we forgot to ask “Joe” whether he remembered the time we saved him from drowning in the Casselman, at the mouth of Elk Lick run, where he undertook to swim like a fish but sank like a stone. Had it not been for the editor, Joseph would long ago have been an angel. Last Sunday the editor, accompanied by his wife, daughter Minnie and Wal- ter Easton, took a carriage drive to the editor's birthplace at Cove, Garrett county, Md. The old log cabin where the editor and one of his sisters first saw the light, back in the “Sixties,” is still standing, but is in a bad state of preservation. To view its time-worn outlines (the old house is probably a hundred years or more old) was to call up many recollections of the past,some joyful, others patbetic. The old farm is now occupied by Joel Deal, at whose hospitable place the team was fed, while the visitors enjoyed their lunch under the spreading branches of alarge cherry tree. It was a delightful drive accross the mountains and dells, and the valley known as the Cove is a veritable Garden of Eden to gaze upon in the good old summertime. It’s a pity when sick ones drug the stomach or stimulate the Heart and Kidneys. That is all wrong! A weak Stomach means weak Stomach nerves, always. And this is also true of the Heart and Kidneys. The weak nervee are instead erying out for help. This explains why Dr. Shoop’s Restorative is promptly helping Stomach, Heart and Kidney ailments. The Restora- tive reaches out for the actual cause of these ailments—the failing “inside nerves.” Anyway, test the Restorative 48 hours. It won’t cure so soon as that, but you will surely know that help is coming. * Sold by all dealers. 10-1 What might have resulted in a very disastrous conflagration, early last Sunday evening, was discovered by Edward Loechel, who promptly got a pail of water and extinguished the fire. He discovered that some one had set fire to a couple of muslin signs tacked on the rear wall of the old company store building owned by the Somerset Coal Company, and located on Ord street. The building has not been oc- cupied for some time, and the chances are that the fire was started by cone of the boys who have at various times been seen prowling around the build- ing, breaking into it, etc., and stealing various articles therefrom. If Mr, Loechel had not discovered the fire just when he did, a good portion of our town would now, more than likely, be in ashes. A few young lads in this apt to land in prison one of these days. It is pretty well known who the “fire- bug” is. Dr. Crawford, professor of English in the University of Pittsburg, Pa.. spoke on the Local Option question, last Sunday, in the German Baptist Breth- ren church. His subject was, “Is the saloon a good thing or a bad thing?” In the course of his remarks, Dr. Craw- ford said: “If the saloon is a good About the nicest treat the editor of | thing, let it live, help it along; but if it | this paper has been given in <a long | is a bad thing, work to do away with time is one that Norman B. Keim | town, and some older ones, too, will be [ it” The speaker had no trouble to prove to the satisfaction of all present that the saloon is not only a bad thing, but a very bad thing. He also proved by official statistics that the saloon is a very expensive thing, and that in Ohio alone, while the revenue derived from liquor license foots up to $4,000,000, the needless expense, such as court and almshouse costs produced by the sale of liquor, foots "up ta $7,000,000. His address was one of the most logical ever delivered in Salisbury. Dr.Craw- ford is doing missionary work through- out the state for the Anti-Saloon League. A PAYING INVESTMENT. Mr. John White, of 38 Highland Ave, Houlton, Maine, says: “Have been troubled with a cough every winter and spring. Last winter I tried many ad- vertised remedies, but the cough con- tinued until I bought a 50c. bottle of Dr. King’s New Discovery ; before that was half gone, the cough was all gone. This winter the same happy result has followed ; a few doses once more ban- ished the annual cough. I am now convinced that Dr. King’s New Dis- cevery is the best of all cough and lung remedies.” Sold under guarantee at E. H. Miller’s drug store. 50c. and $1.00. Trial bottle free. 10-1 | Christening Celebrated by a Fine Dinner. A daughter and a son being born about the same time, recently, in the families of Frank and James Murphy, the genial proprietors of Murphy Bros.’ popular restaurant, the children were christened a short time ago, and last Sunday the happy event was cele- brated by a fine dinner, which was partaken of by the Murphys and some of their friends.

Custard Pie, Headley’s Chocolates. Besides Frank and James P. Murphy and their families, the following named guests partook of the sumptuous feast: Mrs. Jacob Emerick, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Harding, Michael Harding, Miss May Younkin, Thomas Harding and William Murphy, all of Salisbury; Mrs. Conley and Miss Corine Derry, of West Salisbury, and Miss Alice Cole, of Harper’s Ferry, W. Va. PASSED EXAMINATION. SUCCESS- FULLY. James Donahue, New Britain, Conn, writes: “I tried several kidney reme- dies, and was treated by our best phy- sicians for diabetes, but did not im- prove until I took Foley's Kidney Remedy. After the second bottle I showed improvement, and five bottles cured me completely. I have since passed a rigid examination for life in- surance.” Foley's Kidney Remedy cures backache and all forms of kidney and bladder trouble. Elk Lick Phar- macy, E. H. Miller, proprietor. 10-1 ADDISON NEWS. A Pumpkin Hard to Beat—Other Items of Interest. Sept. 2—This is no snake story, neither is it a pumpkin story, but if anyone in Somerset county can beat it without feeding, your correspondent will step down and out. E. Largent has a sweet pumpkin in his garden that measures 60 inches in circumference. If anyone can beat it, we would like to hear of it through THE STAR. Last Sunday Mr. H. Rishebarger, of Connellsville, who is employed by the U. S. Express Company, was here for a visit with his father, Chas. Rishebarger, Esq. Mr. Ray Rishebarger, also of Connellsville, is here on a week’s vaca- tion, visiting at his old home. He is aceompanied by his wife. Mr. Frank Largent, messenger for the U. S. Express Company, from Clarksburg, W. Va., and Pittsburg, Pa., was here last Sunday, visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. Largent. HOW TO GET STRONG. Chicago, tells of a way to become strong: He savs: “My mother, who is old and was very feeble, is deriving so much benefit from Electric Bitters, that I feel it’s my duty to tell those who need a tonic and strengthening medicine about it. In my mother’s case a marked gain in flesh has result- ed, insomnia has been overcome, and she is steadily growing stronger.” Electric Bitters quickly remedy stom- ach, liver and kidney complaints.
