There are few where the stores present a more pleasing appear- ance than those of our own town.

That is not all, they carry good, clean stocks of merchandise, and their reputation for fair dealing draws a splendid patronage from the sur- rounding territory. towns Many people suffer a great deal from Kidney and Bladder troubles.

An organiza- tion of that kind is needed in every town in the country where merchan- dise is sold on credit. Tickling or dry Coughs will quickly loosen when using Dr. Shoop’s Cough Remedy.

Kodol will, in a very short time. enable the stomach to do the work it | should do, and the work it should do is | to digest all the food you eat.

It makes the stomach sweet and it is pleasant to take. It is sold here by E. H. Miller. We regret very much to note the serious illness of our neighbor, Albert Petry. A couple of years ago he went to Philadelphia to take treatment for tuberculosis, and he returned in a few months, greatly improved in health.

A pro- fessional nurse is now taking care of him. and his friends hope earnestly for his recovery.

Miller, proprietor. 10-1 The lark eame up to meet the sun and carol forth his lay; the farmer’s son took down his gun and at him blazed away. The busy bee arose at 5 and hummed the meadows o'er; the farmer’s wife went for his hive and robbed him of his store. The little ant rose early, too, his labors to begin; the greedy sparrow that way flew and took his antship in. O, birds and ants and bees, be wise, in proverbs take no stock ; like me, refuse from bed to rise till half past eight o’clock.—Ex. 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 Young man, do not take up the study of medicine unless you are morally certain that you are fitted for carving out for yourself a brilliant future in that profession. About T2500 medical graduates are being turned out by the colleges each year, while there is need of only about 2,500, according to one of our most distinguished practitioners.

A circular describing these courses, and blank application for enrollment, may be had by addressing the Superinten- dent of Correspondence Courses, at State College, Cenire county, Pa. 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 crying 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 eause of these ailménts—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 In giving the score of the ball game last played by the Meyersdale and Sal- isbury clubs, THE STAR made an error in stating that the score was 8 to 1 in favor of Meyersdale. It wasb5tol, and since that time the Meyersdale club has been defeated by Rockwood, Berlin, Garrett and about every club it went up against. As Salisbury trounced Rockwood and Garrett with ease, it would seem that Meyersdale’s victory over Salisbury was merely a streak of good luck. A blind hog, you know, will find an acorn once in a while. A woodpecker sat on a knotty limb; his head was red and his temper grim; for the world was out of whack with him. He had hammered the stumps for worms till his eyes were dim; he had punched each tree and knot and limb, and darn the bug there was for him. Not a song he sung, not a wood- land hymn, for how can a bird with hunger slim, and gaunt starvation grewsome, grim, looking right into the eyes of him, get up a voice like a cher- ubim, and with melody make the wel- kin swim? Farmers, Lookout! A gang of swindlers is working the Pennsylvania farmers. In the Western | part of the state a man came along and SAVINGS ) PAR said he had been commissioned to test . cows for farmers, to see if they were free from tuberculosis. In one place he told a man that 10 of his herd were affected that way, and he had better sell them for what he could get. The next day a man came along looking for cows to buy, and the farmer sold the 10 cows, all perfectly sound, for $15.00 a head. Then in a few days the farmer found out that he had been swindled.— Somerset Democrat. 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 A Large Wad of Truth from the Meyersdale Commercial. The first cool nights of the late Au- gust season has been the occasion of an old chronic distemper breaking out among the Fayette county newspapers. This time it is the self-same old disease about their respective circulations, with Connellsville, as usual, the storm center of the distemper. One of the former circulation managers of one newspaper, it appears, is telling tales out of school to the management of another, and the latter using it to make capital to down an opponent. These are some of the newspapers who are always slurring Somerset county edi- tors for scrapping; but the latter never gat down to as low a level as the ones below the conglomerate rock at Ohio Pyle falls.

Bill in Equity Filed. The Taylor & Saylor Coal Company, a West Virginia corporation; recently filed a bill in equity here to recover the sum of $6,888 from Samuel D. Liv- engood, former president of the de- funct Farmers’ Bank of Meyersdale, and H. M. Berkley, assignee of Mr. Livengood. : The bill sets forth that on Dee. 20, 1903, the defendant represented to the plaintiff company that the title to 637 acres of coal land in Preston county, W. Va, was clear and good, and that as a result the plaintiff company pur-. chased this property for $20 per acre. It is also alleged that on Aug. 27, 1904, the defendant represented to the plaintiff company that he had secured title to 87 acres of coal property also located in Preston county, and that the plaintiff company purchased the same. The bill sets forth that these repre- sentations in both instances were false, and prays that the court order the re- turn of the money.—Somerset Demo- crat.
