here that has been tendered to him by
Baltimore capitalists who are in the

state and want a man to conduct a

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. He was in
Salisbury twice, recently, and it is said
that several Salisbury widows keep a
sharp eye on him and each other every
time he comes over here. We don’t
know whether this is true, and “Sunny
Jim” won't tel, so people may believe
what they choose. But, just the same,
he is always a welcome guest at THE
Star office.
Kennedy's Laxative Cough Syrup is
used nearly everywhere, because it not
only heals irritation of the throat and
stops the cough, bus ir drives the cold
out of the system through its Inxative
principle by assuring a free and gentle
action of the bowels, and that is the
only way to cure a cold. You can’t
cure it as long as you are constipated.

Syrup. Sold by E. H. Miller. 11-}
The editor and wife went to Brad-
dock, Pa., Monday, where they paid a
short visit to Mrs. 8. 8S. Koontz and
family. 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-

Shoop assures mothers that they can

John Bill, a resident of Keyser, W,
Va., was a welcome caller at Tae STAR
office, last Saturday. 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.

the old Grantsville school when the

Go to the blood, if you are to drive

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. Try Kodol today. Sold by

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.

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.

C. R. Kinger, The Jewler, 1060 Vir-
ginia Ave., Indianapolis, Ind. writes:

HAPPY HOMES.
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?
