Thomas, at Boynton, was burglarized about a week ago. Quite a lot of shoes and other plunder was carried away, and from what we can learn, the robbery was evidently committed by some one well acquainted with the place. We have no full bill of particulars, but some people think they could easily guess who the burglar was. 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. branch also goes to the Heart, and one to the Kidneys. When these “inside nerves” fail, then the organs must falter. Dr. Shoop’s Restorative is di- rected specifically to these failing nerves.

Deffibaugh, of Oldtown, brought a potato to this office that had grown the shape of an L, with several knobs on the sides, for outhouses. It weighed a pound and a half, and we thought it a whopper. besides its pe- culiar shape But here comes Pete Jirenrond. editor of THE SOMERSET OUNTY STAR, reporting at his office one weighing 2lbs. and 7 ounces, raised by Dennis Wagner.

Mr. Engle also showed five other potatoes that weigh- ed, collectively, 134 pounds. Potatoes grow large in good old Elk Lick. be aaa Postmasters as Teachers. Washington, Sept. 28.—Postmaster General Meyer has made an order which promises beneficial results. The postmasters of the country have been directed to confer with their local school authorities as to the practicabil- ity and desirability of delivering to the school children short talks on the post- al service. The design is to inform the pupils of the scope of its operations, the methods of delivering the mails, classification of mail matter and registry and money order systems. Incidentally they are to make known plans for betterment, such as the establishment of postal savings banks and the extension of the parcels post: : * Wherever it may be impracticable for postmasters to deliver lectures, they are to furnish the necessary in- formation to the school supervisors, so as to equip the regular teachers. It is the Postmaster General’s expectation that the school children will be useful to the postal service in seeing that let- ters are properly and plainly addressed. That there is necessity for action of the kind is shown by the volume of business transacted by the Dead Let- ter office. During the last year 13,145, 172 pieces of mail matter were sent there because the postmasters were unable to read the addresses. ARE YOU ONLY HALF ALIVE?

Wagner Spring Great Sur- prise. , “4.ast Sunday there took place in St. John’s Reformed church, in this eity, a quiet but pretty wedding ceremony, when Mrs. Annie L.. Wagner, the or- ganist, became the wife of Mr. Otto Ww. Petry, the leader of the church choir. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Homer 8. May, pastor of the St. John's congregation, but was a strictly private affair and witnessed only by the pastor's wife. : The bride is the youngest daughter of the late lamented Samuel J. Liehty, and is the widow of Morris H. Wagner, who lost his life in a railroad wreck about nine years ago. She is a comely woman.of fine aceomplishments, and is held in high esteem by her large circle of friends. The writer has known her first as a cheerful and brilliant school- mate, and later as a most excellent neighbor and all-around good woman. If marriage is a lottery, as is sometimes claimed, Otto W. Petry has drawn a splendid and attractive prize. The groom is also well and favorably known in this community, where he has led a most exemplary life since his early childhood. He is a member of the firm of Petry Bros. the well-known contractors and builders, and as a citizen and a mechanic he ranks high. He is a man in'every way worthy of the splendid woman he has married, and THE STAR joins their many friends in wishing them a most pleasant and prosperous matrimonial career. It was a great surprise to many of our people when they learned of the wedding of the happy couple, but by some it was anticipated, hence not a surprise to everybody. Now, let the band play and everybody have a good time. MARRIED MAN IN TROUBLE. 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.
