A Little Printer’s
Makes Millions
Think-—Think— Think! | .

Moré truth than poet-
ry. A little Printer’s Ink
prints a little advertise
ment in a little “maga-
zine” that circulates at a
little price and goes inte
a million little homes,
chiefly in the little cities
and towns and country
places.
The millions of people
in these homes are
caused by the Printer’s
Ink to think that they
can get big bargains for
. their money by sending
it away by mail, order-
ing the things advertised

Sometimes when they receive the stuff they order by
mail they have another Think coming. They think, “What
. fools we mortals be,” and apply the Think to themselves.
And sometimes some of them think something like this:
“Wonder why Mister Man, our local dealer in
many things we need, doesn't advertise these
things in our local paper? Maybe If he did we
wouldn’t be tempted to send to the big city for
If we were sure we could
buy them at home for about the same price and
have a chance to see the goods before taking,
we think we’d prefer to buy them at home.”
Now, Mister Man, what do you think—think—think?

We have often heard of a plain, ordi-
nary “coon” Committing even greater,
havoc at a chieken roost in a single

seldom that a raccoon gets away with
20 chickens in one night.
A Store That Is Not Worth Adver-
tising.
A writer with a gift for phrasing once
wrote: “If your store is not worth ad-
vertising, advertise it for sale.” His
phrase runs trippingly, but his logic
halts.
To sell a store that is “not worth ad-
vertising” would be to defraud the
buyer—so that the advice is ethically
unsound.
Of course there are not many stores
that are not worth adyertising—in this
town perhaps none at all. The fact is
that no store ever gets to be worth
very much—beyond the mere open
market value of stock and fixtures—
until it has been adequately advertis-
ed. Until then it has exerted no in-
fluence ag an organization, equipped
for useful service to the people. It has
simply been a place where certain
things were kept for sale.
After it has had the breath of life
put into it by advertising, it becomes a
store, in the militant sense—intent up-
of growth.

The dullest store can be rejuvenated |

A RELIGIOUS AUTHOR’S STATE-
MENT.
For several years T was afflicted with
kidney trouble, and last winter 1 was
suddenly striken with a severe pain in
my kidneys and was confined to Led
eight days, unable to get up without
assistance. My urine contained a thick
wuite sediment, and [ passed same fre-
quently day and night. I commenced
taking Foley’s Kidney Remedy, and
the pain gradually abated and finally
ceased, and my urine became normal.
I cheerfully recommend Foley’s Kid-

State Railroad Commission Decides
Against the P. W. & S. R. R.
Harrisburg, Jan. 25.—In a decision
rendered, the State Railroad Commis-
sion finds that the various short line
railroads that have been charging
more than three cents a mile passenger
fare on through tickets and 35 cents
on local traffic. have been violating the
act of 1849. ea
The decision is in the case of the
Pittsburg, Westmoreland & Somerset
Railroad, of which State Senator J.
Henry Cochran, of Williamsport, is
President. It operates a 25-mile line
between Ligonier and Somerset, and
contends that it is strictly a freight
road and cannot carry passengers
even at seven cents a mile without
losing money.
The Commission sustains the com-
plaint of G. T. Matthews, of Rector,
Somerset county. against the company.

“held up” in his work, health and hap-
piness by what was believed to be hope-
less Consumption,” writes W. R. Lips-
comb, of Washington, N.C. “He took
all kinds of remedies «and treatment
from several doctors, but found no help
till he used Dr. King’s New Discovery,
and was wholly cured by six bottles.
He is a well man today.” It’s quick to
relieve, and the surest cure for weak or

DEADLY GAS EXPLOSION.
Five Men Killed by Gas Explosion
in Boswell Mine.
The first gas explosion that ever took
place in a Somerset county mine, oc-
curred at Boswell, Monday Aegon:
the 25th inst., in the mines of the Uni-
ted Coal Company, successors to the
Merchants Coal Company.
Reports of the dead and injured dif-
fer somewhat, but the latest and best
authenticated report received here
places the number of dead at five, and
the injured and missing at thirteen.
Those reported to be dead are Super-
intendent J. C. Logan, Assistant Super-
intendent Geo. Morris, Pitt Boss John
Cole and two German miners. Those
injured or missing are reported to be
foreign miners, principally Italians.
- The force of the explosion has badly
wrecked portions of the workings, and
it will be some time before the mine
can be restored to its normal condition.
There were, in fact, three distinct ex-
plosions, the first occuring at about 2
o'clock, the second at 4:30, and the
last and most disastrous at about 8
o’clock.
The first and second explosions wete
not so severe, but yet severe enough to
cause much alarm and to cause an im-
mediate investigation to be made, with
a view to discovering the cause and
averting further damage and danger.
The Superintendent would not allow
the large force of men employed on the
night shift to go to work until the mine
was investigated and rendered safe.
Thus were many lives saved, while
some of the men making the investiga-
tion lost their lives.
BRAVE FIRE LADDIES

fires, then use Bucklen’s Arnica Salve

pain. For Burns, Scalds, Wounds,
Cuts and Bruises, it’s earth’s greatest

IF I ONLY HAD CAPITAL.
The above words were recently ut-
tered in our hearing by a young man,
and undoubtedly they are often reiter-
ated by many who are out of employ-
ment, or have little or nothing to do.
To all such we say, you have home cap-
ital, you have hands, feet, bone, mus-
cle, health, and are not these capital?
What more capital has God given any-
body? “But if I only had a few thou-
sands in cash capital,” says the young
man. But these are better than cash
capital, for no one can take them from
you, and with these you can earn cash
Our men of wealth and influence did
not start with any cash capital. They
went to work with the plow, the hoe,
the jack plane or axe, and in time their
capital brought them a rich harv st.
Ah! but there’s the rub; you don’t
want to work. You want money on
credit, so you can play the gentleman,
speculate and end your career by play-
ing vagabond. You want to marry a
rich girl who will support you, while
you wear fine clothes, smoke cigars and
be a gentleman of leisure.
Shame on you, young man! Go to
work with the capital you have, and
you will soon make interest enough
upon it to give you as much money as
you need. If you cannot make money
upon what capital you have, you could
not if you had a larger amount in cash.
If you waste your present capital, you
would waste money if you had it. So
don’t stand around, a helpless fellow,
waiting for something to turn up, but
go to work. Take the first work you
can get to do, and do it well. Always
do your best, and if you manage your
capital that God has given you, well,
you will soon have more to manage.—

Borough and Township Nomina-
tions.
@ The Republicans and Democrats of
Salisbury borough and Elk Lick town-
ship have made their nominations for
municipal offices to be voted for on
Feb. 16th, 1909, the Republicans of the
borough nominating by the primary
system, while the Democrats of the
borough, and the Republicans and
Democrats of the township nominated
their candidates by the caucus method.
BorouGH NOMINATIONS—REPUBLICAN.

man.
“Tax Collector, M. J. Glotfelty.
Auditor, E. H. Miller.
At the Republican borough primary,
110 votes were polled. The candidates
for Judge, Inspector, Tax Collector and
Auditor had no opposition, and as a
consequence there was no contest for
nomi-ation for those offices. The other
nominees all had opposition, but very
few of the candidates seemed to care
whether they were nominated or not.
The contest was a good-natured one,
and the nomination was fairly con-
ducted. However, as was to be ex-
pected, a certain long, lanky, slobber-
mouthed Democratic bar-room senator
was quite busy all day long butting
into the affairs of the Republican
party, and as soon as the vote was
counted out, he gleefully announced in
the Elk Lick Supply Company’s store,
in the presence of the editor and
others, that his candidate for School
Director (S. O. Newman) had polled
the highest vote. If a Democrat, es-
pecially a Democratic bar-room sena-
tor, has a right to set up a candidate
at a Republican primary, we believe
that the Republicans ought to know it.

Both Republican and Democratic
borough ticket are as good as can gen-
erally be nominated in a town of this
gize. There is room, of course, for im-
provement on each, but the trouble is,
the most competent citizens cannot
always be induced to run for public of-
fice, and in many cases it’s not a case
of whom the people want to serve
them, but a case of who is willing to
serve the people or fill the offices.

CURES INDIGESTION.
All Distress from ‘Stomach and In-

‘you call it Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Gas-
tritis or Catarrh of Stomach ; it doesi¥’t
matter—take your stomach trouble
right with you to your Pharmaeist arid
ask him to open a 50-cent case of
Pape’s Diapepsin and let you -eat one
22-grain Triangule and see if within
five minutes there is left any trace of
your stomach misery.
The correct name for your ‘trouble ie
Food Fermentation—food souring; the
Digestive organs become weak, these
is lack of gastric juice; your food ‘is
only half digested, and you become a¥-
fected with loss of appetite, pressure
and fullness after eating, vomiting,
nausea, heartburn, griping in bowels,
tenderness in the pit of stomach, bad
taste in mouth, constipation, pain in
limbs, sleeplessness, belching of gas,
biliousness, sick headache, nervous-
ness, dizziness and many other similar
symptoms.
ing tempts you, or you beleh gas, or if
you feel bloated after eating, or your
food lies like a lump of lead on your
stomach, you can make up your mind
that at the bottom of all this there ie
but one cause—fermentation of undi-
gested food.
Prove to yourself, after your next
meal, that your stomach is as good as
any; that there is nothing really
wrong. Stop that fermentation and
begin eating what you want without
fear of discomfort or misery.
Almost instant relief is waiting for
you. It is merely a matter of how
soon you take a little Diapepsin.

Editor J. J. Robinson recently sent
the following interesting communi-
cation from Meyersdale to his news-
paper, the Lonaconing, (Md.) Star:
“Messrs. Drum, Ford and McGinn, of
the United Mine Workers, were here
last week visiting the several
localities. They were jubilant at the
prospect of the defeat of National
President T. L. Lewis and the election
of Walker, but they left town when
the word came from Indianapolis that
Lewis is re-elected. It seems that
Messrs. Drum and Ford, who are Dis-
trict officers, have not been receiving
any salary the past year. The mem-
bership of District No.16 is so smal
that they can’t pay salaries, but when
John Mitchell was National President
he fixed it so the salaries were paif
out of the National funds. When
Lewis succeeded Mitchell, he stopped
this, claiming thatthe money paid
into the National treasury by the
miners from other regions ought nof
to be spent in paying salaries of
officers in regions and districts that
cannot support themselves, and im
this view he was upheld, and the
salaries of Mr. Drum and Mr. Ford
stopped. Now, if Walker hat been
elected over Lewis, this would have
been changed, and the salaries would
have come on again out of the National
treasury. Hence their jubilation when
they thought Walker was elected, and
hence their dejection when the report
came that Lewis will be in again for
another year. The only two who awe
sure of their salaries are Johnny Me-
Ginn, Natianal Board Member, arn@
Jimmie Wilson, National Organizer,
who receives $4.50 a day and expensas
from the National body.”
Things have come to a pretty pass
when two jawsmiths of the Drum and
Ford stripe expect salaries for acting
as generals without armies. The facet
is they have neither followers nor saf-
ficent executive ability to properly
handle followers if they had them.
They are mere parasites looking fers
soft snap at the expense of those whe
earn their bread by the sweat of their
brows.
