J.T. Smearman is the only man in
town who has put up any ice, this win-
ter, and in other towns throughout this
state there has been practically no ice
cut from the streams, owing to the
mildness of the winter. It is almost a
certainty that no ice thick enough to
cut and pack will be frozen on the
streams and ponds during the remain-
der of the winter, and people who use
ice will have to depend on the manu-
factured article. The chances are that
they will have to pay famine prices for
it, too.
This is the most dangerous time of
the year to catch cold, and it is the
hardest time to cure it. If you should
take a cold, a few doses of Kennedy's
Laxative Cough Syrup will act very
promptly. Its laxative principle cures
the cold by driving it from the system
by a gentle but natural action of the
bowels. Children especially like Ken-
| nedy’s Laxative Cough Syrup, as it
| tastes so good, nearly like maple sugar.

from appendicitis and gall stones, and
when she left here it was believed that
a double operation might be necessary.
We have heard nothing concerning her
condition since she was taken away,
but her many friends all hope she will
soon be able to return home thorougly
cured of her ailments.

Edward Reitz has purchased a cider
manufacturing plant at New Enter-

to move there some time next month.
It is his intention to enlarge the plant
and also manufacture applebutter, as
well as embark in the feed business.
His prospective location isin a wealthy
farming community, and his prospects
for a successful business are very
bright. Edward is one of Salisbury’s
best and most popular citizens, and we
regret exceedingly that he has decided
to leave here. However, we wish him
the greatest possible success in his new
location.
Ruth Folk, a daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. E. S. Folk, of Elk Lick township,
had a narrow escape from being badly
burned, one day last week, while at her
father’s sugar-camp. Some of the hot
ashes raked from the furnace eame in
contact with the young lady’s elothing,
in some way, setting fire to them.
Fortunately Miss Ruth had presence of
mind enough to throw herself upon the
ground and smother out the fire by
rolling from side to side. Her clothing
were badly burned, but that was the
extent of the damage, we are glad to
note. The young lady was alone at the
camp when the accident occurred.
. How can any person risk taking some
unknown cough remedy when Foley’s
Honey and Tar costs them no more?
It is a safe remedy, contains no harm-

coughs and eolds. Why experiment
with your health? Insist upon having
the genuine Foley’s Honey and Tar.

A belated traveler, who was compell-
ed to stay all night in a Southern back-
woods cabin, says that soon after the
frugal meal, a tall, gaunt youth of about
18, and an .equally sallow and gaunt
girl of 17, both barefooted, took their
hats from wooden pegs in the wall and
prepared to go out, whereupon the
mother, taking her pipe from between
her yellow teeth, said, reprovingly:
“Go long an’ wash your feet, Levi, you
and Looly both! Hain’t you shamed
togo off to an evenin’ party without
washin’ your feet?” They obeyed, but
as Levi took the washpan from a bench
by the door, he said, with a grumble:
“I'd ’bout as soon stay home from a
party as to have to fix up for it!”
Our genial friend Kearney Simpkins,
who is an inveterate smoker of tobacco,
as well as an entertaining talker, re-
cently made a mathematical calcala-
tion to ascertain about what the tobac-
co habit has cost him since he first be-
gan to use the weed. He informed the
editor that if the money he spent for
the weed had been placed on interest
as he spent it, and the interest com-
pounded to date of his computation, it
would foot up to at} least $7,000. Like
all honest men, Mr. Simpkins does not
uphold a bad habit because he indis-
creetly formed it in his younger days
and clung to it. His advice to all
young men is to let tobacco strietly
alone. A $7,000 bad habit is to expen-
give for any man, he admits.

RHEUMATISM RECIPE.
Directions To Prepare Simple, Yet
Remarkable Home Mixture.
A well-known authority on Rheuma-
tism gives the following valuable,
though simple and harmless preserip-
tion, which any one can easily prepare
at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce ; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking well in a bottle, and
take a teaspoonful after each meal and
at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can
be obtained ‘from any good -prescrip-
tion pharmacy at small cost, and be-
ing of vegetable extraction, are harm-
less to take.
This pleasant mixture,”if taken reg-
ularly for a few days, is said to over-
come almost any case of Rheumatism.
The pain and swelling, if any, dimin-
ishes with each dose, until permanent
results are obtained, and without in-
juring the stomaeh. While there are
many so-called Rheumatism remedies.
patent medicines, etc., some of which
do give relief, few really give perma-
nent results, and the above will, no
doubt, be greatly appreciated by many
sufferers here at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores of this
neighborhood elicits the information
that these drugs are harmless and can
be bought separately, or the druggists
here will mix the preseription for our
readers if asked to.
Wills Probated.
The following wills have been pro-
bated in the office of Register Bert F.
Landis:
Catherine Ann DeHaven, late of Sal-
isbury, bequeathed all her property to
her davghter, Marie McGarey, and ap-
pointed her executrix. The will is
dated September 3rd, 1908.
Sarah Speicher, widow of Tobias
Speicher, late of Stonyereek township,
bequeathed one-half of all her property
to Jacob F. and Alvin R. Knepper and
directed that the remainder of her es-
tate be divided in equal shares among
all her nephews and nieces, share and
share alike. She appointed as execu-
tors Jacob W. and Alvin R. Knepper.
The will bears the date January 23,
1908.
Alex. Miller, late of Lincoln town-
ship, bequeathed his farm in that town-
ship, eontaining 80 acres, and also his
personal property to his son John B.
Miller, whom he direets to pay to El-
mira Ash, wife of Pavid Ash, the sum
of $700, and to Margaret, wife of Phil-
son Berkey, the sum of $300. The tes-
tator appoints his son John H. Miller,
executor. The will is dated January
31, 1898.
Caused Terriffic Explosion by Put-
ting Kerosene Into Furnace.
Miss Grace Wright, a daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. John M. Wright, well-
known residents of Elk Lick township.
recently had some experience she will
not soon forget. The fire in the fur-
nace which heats tke Wright residence
being quite low, Miss Grace thought
she pould assist it by placing in the
furnace a quantity of kerosene. After
shutting the furnace door and step-
ping aside, a terriffie explosion took
place, setting fire’ to the girl’s clothing
and shattering some of the glass out of
the windows. The young lady was pain-
fully burned on one of her arms, but
succeeded in extinguishing the fire
about her clothing before being burned
seriously. Had she been standing in
front of the furmace door when
the force of the explosion blew it
open, she likely would have been killed
or seriously injured. They who feed a
fire by using kerosene, are apt to soar
up higher than they have ever been
