Kodol is a combination of the natural digestive juices and it digests all classes of food and every kind of food, so you see it will do the work that the stomach itself does.

Mr. Smith has had much experience in conduct- ing stores, and if he accepts the po- sition tendered to him, there is no doubt of his giving the company satis- faction. Stomach troubles would more quick- ly disappear if the idea of treating the cause, rather than the effect, would come into practice. A tiny. inside, hid- den nerve, says Dr. Shoop, governs and gives strength to the stomach. A branch also goes to the Heart, and one tothe Kidneys. When these “inside nerves” fail, then the organs must falter. Dr. Shoop’s Restorative is di- rected specifically to these failing nerves. Within 48 hours after starting the Restorative treatment patients say they realize a gain. Sold by all deal- ers. 11-1 Editor James Begley, of the Berlin Gleaner, was a welcome visitor at THE Star office, Friday last.

From there they went to the Edgewood Park School for the Deaf, to visit their daughter Minnie, who is a pupil at that institution, and from thence to Pittsburg, where they trans- acted some business and returned home on Tuesday evening. On the train they met George Huston, who was returning from a visit with Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Parker, of Swissvale, Pa. Wm. Glotfelty, a former Salisburyan but now a business man of Frostburg, Md., was also aboard the same train. The wholesome, harmless green leaves and tender stems of a lung heal- ing mountainous shrub, give to Dr. Shoop’s Cough Remedy its curative properties.

He knew the editor as a boy, more than a quarter of a century ago, at Grantsville, Md., when the Bill family and the 8. J. Liv- engood family were near neighbors.

Rub-on’s says the doctor, never did cure Rheumatism. It is more than skin deep—it is constitu- tional, always. Because of this prin- ciple, Dr. Shoop’s Rheumatic Remedy is perhaps the most popular in ex- istence. It goes by word of mouth from .one to another, everywhere. Grateful patients gladly spread results. It is an act of humanity, to tell the sick of a way to health. Tell some sick one. Sold by all dealers. 11-1 —_———————— Chestnut Crop a Failure. The chestnut crop in this county, which has been a considerable source of revenue to the farmer when the crop has matured properly, will be al- most an entire failure this season, as only a few trees in many are showing any crop. The severe dry season we have had at the time the burs were maturing has caused them to become blasted and of no producing value.— Oakland Journal. At any time when your stomach is not in good condition, you should take Kodol, because Kodol digests all the food you eat, and it supplies health and strength for the stomach in that way. You take Kodol just for a little while when you have slight attacks of Indi- gestion, and you take it just a little longer in order to get relief from se- vere attacks of Indigestion or Nervous Dyspepsia.

A married man who permits any member of the family to take anything except Foley's Honey and Tar, for coughs, colds and lung trouble, is guilty of neglect. Nothing else is as good for all pulmonary troubles. The genuine Foley’s Honey and Tar contains no opiates and is in a yellow package. Elk Lick Pharmacy, E. H. Miller, pro- prietor. 11-1 The Dissemination of Tuberculosis by Flies. At this time of year when flies are proving such a pest, we must not forget that they may play an important part in the di-semination of disease, as well as e¢ru<e endless annoyance and dis- comfort. Everyone has heard a good deal about the spread of typhoid fever by flies. The danger from flies in military camps. on account of their lighting upon” diese bearing material and later coming in contact with food. is a very serious one. An epidemic of ty- phoid in Chicago in 1902 was attributed to flies. Other diseases in which infected ma- terial may be exposed to flies can be spread in like manner. The germs of tuberculosis in the expectoration of patients who do not take proper pre- cautionary measures, may readily be spread from place to place by flies. Flies may spread the germs of tu- berculosis in two ways. They may come in contact with the germs when they light upon sputum which has been allowed to remain exposed about the clothing or elsewhere, and their feet become contaminated so that at their next resting place they may deposit some of the germs. Or they may swal- low a certain amount of infected ma- terial and disseminate the germs in this way. Tuberle -bacilli have. been found in the fecal deposits. While it is unpleasant enough to see large numbers of flies around consump- tive patients, the dangers of their spreading the disease must be very slight, unless proper preeautions are not observed. If the consumptive is properly looked after, the flies do not have an opportunity to come into con- tact with the main source of the dis- ease, the sputum. In case a patient is too sick to properly wait on himself, danger can be avoided by protecting the upper end of the bed with netting. We have in flies simply another ex- ample of how tuberculosis may be a menance even to those who are them- selves careful, provided they harbor in their neighborhood consumptives who are not properly looked after. The stamping out of the “Great White Plague” should appeal to everyone’s self-interest, if not to his sense of duty. FOLEYS HONEY-TAR stops the cough and healslungs COAL-MINING ACCIDENTS. Statisties Compiled by the Geolog- ical Survey. Accidents in the coal mines of the United States in 1907, resulted in death to 3,125 men, and injury to 5,316 more —an increase of 1,013 in the number of deaths, and 515 in the number of in- juries over the record for 1906. This record marks the year. in all other re- spects the most prosperous, as one of the worst in the history of the coal- mining industry of the country. Even the above figures, however, fail to rep- resent the full extent of the disasters, for any statistical statement that at- tempts to cover coal-mining accidents for the entire United States is neces- sarily somewhat incomplete. The United States Geological Survey, by which the figures for the country are published, does not collect the informa- tion directly, but obtains it through the courtesy of State or Territory mine in- spectors or other officials who compile data concerning accidents and their causes and effects. A number of the coal-producing statestiave no officials charged with these duties, and one or two of the state officials failed to re- ply to the inquiries sent out by the Survey. In 1906 returns were received from 21 states and territories; in 1907 only 18 reported. DEATH RATE PER THOUSAND EMPLOYED. The reports received indicate a death rate per thousand employes of 3.31 in 1906, and 4.86 in 1907, and the number of tons mined for each life lost decreas- ed from 194,950 to 145471. The state which had the lowest death rate per thousand (0.95) in 1907 was Missouri, where 499,742 tons of coal were mined for each life lost. Michigan gas second on the roll of honor as far as death rate per thousand -employed was con- cerned, and Kentucky was second in the number of tons mined for each life lost. The death rate in Michigan was 1.76 per thousand ; in Kentucky it was 1.89. Kentucky mined 336,085 tons of coal for each life lost : Michigan mined 290,837 tons. Arkansas reported a death rate of 197 in 1807, with 133,522 tons mined for each life lost, and Utah, with a death rate of 2.72, mined 324, 601 tons for each life lost. West Vir- ginia reported the largest death rate in 1907—12.35 per thousand—and the lowest production for each life lost— 65,969 tons. New Mexico stood next to West Virginia, with a death rate of 11.45 and a production of 77,322 tons for each life lost, and Alabama was next, with a death rate of 7.2 per thousand and a production of 92,535 tons for each life lost. A JEWELER’S EXPERIENCE. C. R. Kinger, The Jewler, 1060 Vir- ginia Ave., Indianapolis, Ind. writes: «] was so weak from kidney trouble that I could hardly walk a hundred feet. Four bottles of Foley’s Kidney Remedy cleared my conplexion, cured my backache and the irregularities dis- appeared, and I can now attend to business every day, and recommend Foley’s Kidney Remedy to all sufferers, as it cured me after the doctors and other remedies had failed.

A woman may do her level best to make a happy home for her husband and children, but if, she is treated as a slave and only given her board and clothing in payment for her services as mother, wife, cook, laundress, nurse girl, chambermaid and seamstress, is it any wonder that little or no happiness exists in that home? If a mother spoils her son by pampering and wait- ing on him all the years of his child- hood and boyhood, and making him think that a man should always be waited on by the woman of his house- hold, is it strange that he expects a wife to do the same, and that, in all likelihood, she either wears out in a few years of such service, or else be- comes bitter and disheartened? There are very many reasons why a home may not be found a happy one, and the happiness found therein depends fully as much onthe husband as it does upon the wife. We are often told that in every true and ideal marriage both husband and wife must learn to bear and forbear. In every home where happiness exists there.must be-perfect trust, confidence and love between the husband and wife. There are two kinds of sunshine in the world, and both quite necessary—the one which is caused by the sun’s shining outdoors, and the other by its shining in our hearts. Happy homes abound in the heart sunshine, and whether it shines without or not, there is naught but brightness within doors. It is the lov- ing deeds, the cheery, helpful words, and the kindly thoughtfulness, that each member of the family shows to- ward the others that makes an ideal, happy home—a perfect heaven on earth. How many of us do our share in making such a home that shall be a haven of rest to all who may come within its influence?
