Elk Lick Pharmacy, E. H. Miller, proprietor. 12-1 A school boy's composition on “The Editor,” ran as follows: “The editor is one of the happiest beggars in the world. He can go to the circus in the afternoon and evening without paying a farthing, also inquests and hangings. He has free tickets to the theaters, gets wedding cake (?) sent to him, and sometimes gets licked, but not often, as he can take it back in the next is- sue, which he generally does. While other folks have to go to bed early, the editor can sit up every night and see all that is going on.” Foley’s Honey and Tar clears the air pussages, stops the irritation in the throat, soothes the inflamed mem- branes, and the most obstinate cough disappears. Sore and inflamed lungs are healed and strengthened, and the cold is expelled from the system. Re- fuse any but the genuine in the yellow package. Elk Lick Pharmacy, E. H. Miller, proprietor. 12-1 Po not lie in bed in the mornings. The early bird catches the worm, and if you are up a sufficiently long time before him you may read your neigh- bor’s papers before he comes down to take them from the step. Your gains will depend largely upon the number of papers your neighbor takes, but one cent a day nets you $3.65 a year, except in leap year, when you will make a cent more. In following out this plan, remember it is not compatible with the obligations of good neighborhood to cut out items which you think will interest your wife, says an exchange. Winter blasts, causing pneumonia, pleurisy and consumption will soon be here. Cure your cough now, and strengthen your lungs with Foley’s Honey and Tar. Do not risk starting the winter with weak lungs, when Foley’s Honey and Tar will cure the most obstinate coughs and colds, and ‘prevent serious | results. Elk Lick Pharmacy, E. H. Miller, proprietor. 12-1 Governor Edwin S. Stuart has fixed Tuesday, November 24, 1908, as the day on which the monument erected to commemorate the services of the Sixty- seventh, Eighty-seventh and One Hun- dred and Thirty-eighth Regiments of Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry on the battlefield of Monocacy, Md., is to be dedicated, and the Adjutant Gen- eral, in pursuance -thereof, will issue transportation to honorably di-charged Pennsylvania soldiers who were mem- bers of either of the above mentioned regiments. The monument is a very fine piece of work, it having cost $5,000 to erect it. Tell me not in mournful numbers that the town is full of gloom, for the man’s a crank that slumbers in these bustling days of boom.

When a splinter has been driven deep into the hand, it can be extracted with- out pain, by steam. Nearly fill a wide- mouthed bottle with hot water, place the injured part over the mouth of the bottle, and press tightly. The suction will draw the flesh down, and in a min- ute or two the steam will extract the gplinter and the inflammation will disappear.—November Woman’s Home Companion. SEVEN YEARS OF PROOF. “I have had seven years of proof that Dr. King’s New Discovery is the best medicine to take for coughs and colds and for every diseased condition of throat, chest or lungs,” says W.V.

Advice of Noted Authority, Also Gives a Simple Prescription. Now is the time when the doctor gets busy, and the patent medicine manu- facturers reap the harvest, unless great care is taken to dress warmly and keep the feet dry. This is the advice of an old eminent authority, who says that Rheumatism and Kidne trouble do in case of an attack. Get from any good prescription phar- macy one-half ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion, one ounce Compound Kar- gon, three ounces Cempound Syrup Sarsaparilla. Mix by shaking in a bot- tle and take a teaspoonful after meals and at bedtime. Just try this simple home-made mix- ture at the first sign of Rheumatism, or if your back aches or you feel that the kidneys are not acting just right. This is said to be a splendid kidney regulator, and almost certain remedy for all forms of Rheumatism, which is caused by uric acid in the blood, which the kidneys fail to filter out. Any one can easily prepare this at home and at small cost. Druggistz in this town and vicinity, when shown the prescription, stated that they can either supply these in- gredients, or, if our readers prefer, they will compound the mixture for them.

Just at tbe time when this country is beginning to struggle with the problem of husbanding its forest resources, of | protecting its mountain slopes, and of improving the waterways, it is inter- esting to know that the Japanese have successfully attacked the same prob- lem, before the land suffered severely from the evil effects following deforest- | The farsighted people of Nip-| pon have foreseen the results of the | ation. destruction of their extensive moun- | and have safeguarded | tain forests, themselves by placing all of these un: der government control. The practice of forestry has been carried on in Japan for a longer time than in any other country. For 1,200 years the people of Japan have been planting and growing forests, with a success that has been a little short of Under careful manage- ment, the Japanese forests yield very high financial returns. This high yield is only made possible by the close utilization of every bit of the tree, so that scarcely a twig is wasted, and by the improvement of the growth of their forests by carefully conducted thin- ning and tending. The woods are first thinned at the age of thirteen years, and then every five years after that, up to the time of the final harvest, at 120 years. It was with the opening up of the hitherto inaccessible mountain forests that the Japanese government became most intensely interested® in forestry. The mountains were still government land, so all that was necessary to pro- tect them was to place proper restrie- tions on the sale and cutting of timber. This was effected by declaring the for- ests on the steep slopes as reserved forests, in which the only cutting should be done under government di- rection. The forests on agricultural lands, not needed for protection, are classed as available forests, and here the cutting is nof so carefully restrict- ed. Thus Japan has effectually prevented the stripping of her mountain slopes before any great damage has been done. In some districts, where the mountains are near the towns, the steep slopes have already been cleared, marvelous. and this has resulted in floods and the | BK BRBOBBDHBOE er Particular men who are seeking entire shoe satisfaction, will find the Walk-Over to their liking.
