CURED TO STAY CURED.
How A Martinsburg Citizen Found
Complete Freedom From Kidney
Troubles.

If you suffer from backache-
From urinary disorders
From any disease of the kidneys,
Be cured to stay cured.
Doan's Kidney Pills make lasting
cures. Martinsburg people testify.
Here's one case of it.:
Mrs. HI. o. Hesen, John and Water
streets, Martinsburg, w. Va, says:
My husband suffered from kidney
trouble for years. The entire trouble
was cured by Doan's Kidney Pills
some years ago, at which time he
made the following statement for pub
lication Il have been victim of kid
ney disease for number of years. A
soreness across my kidneys and loins
almost incapacitated me from duty and
at times / would hardly be able to get
off my engine. IF | bent forward or
made any quick movement sharp pains
would shoot through my back. The Sc
cretions caused me much pain in pas
sage, and contained great deal of
sediment. | consulted physicians,
but obtained no permanent relief until
! procured Doans Kidney Pills at
Mathai's drug store, now e. c. Shop
herds drug store, and short use
of this remedy completely cured me. 4"
1T is now 1907 and my husband has
had no return of this complaint and
we all give credit to Doan's Kidney
Pills.

Spread Of Block SIGNALS.

1t is said that out of total mileage
on the Pennsylvania railroads east
eIn lines of 6,032 miles of track more
than 1900 additional miles have with
in the last three years been equipped
with block signals. The signal report
shows that the company now has
every mile Of its main lines protected
by block signals, and Of the entire
mileage of the lines east only about
500 miles are not equipped with block
signals. Most of the latter, however,
are short industrial lines or branch
lines, on which traffic is so light and
of such character as to render
the block signal unnecessary. - En-

Buying by Mail.

There are some things which those
who may think of ordering from, one
OtS the mail order houses which have
come to be numerous in this country
instead of buying from their home
town merchant may better learn from
the experience of others than from
their own and therefore this true sto-

Incidentally, = the merchant who
does not advertise and therefore
practically invites the far away mail
order house to invade his territory
may give the story of the boys care
full reading and thereby profit
The boys wanted gun with which
they proposed to hunt during the
Christmas holidays and began saving
money and investigating the gun mar
kets some months ago. They read the
Martinsburg newspapers diligently
but found in none of the advertise
ments of guns such as they wanted
by. the local dealer
Then they secured the catalogue of
9 big mail order house in Chicago
and found in it the picture and de-
scription of gun which seemed to
I'LL their requirements. 1t is worth
while stopping to note that the price
Of every article was plainly told in
this catalogue
Perhaps this fact assisted the boys
to form the conclusion that they
could buy their guns cheaper in Chi
caso than in Martinsburg The boys
sent the price of two pretty good
guns TO the mail order concern which
stated distinctly that the articles they
offered were in stock and they did
not have to send the order on the
manufacturer.
The boys who sent their orders
away two weeks ago received a
postal card stating that the guns
would be shipped about December o.
Christmas, 1t will be noted, fell on
December Is. There was no hunt by
the Martinsburg Gun club, jr., as
scheduled. The mail order house has
the money.
Additional light is thrown upon the
question under discussion by the ex-
PLANTATION that the mail order house
catalogued the guns at price .soms

Tress and Lightning.

The trees most apt to be struck by
lightning are those that conform most
naturally to the law Of electrical mo-
tion--that electricity moves along the
path OF least resistance. Flammari-

iished in 1905 a list of different kinds
OF trees, showing the number OF times
each species had been struck by light
ming during given period. The fig
ures are: 81 oaks, "a poplars, IA

Did Santa Claus Walk with Crutchs

During the recent financial furry
few papers mourned the ruin of the
country and discouraged the children
by declaring that Santa Claus would
come on a crutch this year. But did
he? Ask the children Of Martins
burg.
The merchants of this city, or at
least most Of them, did much lar
ger business than ever before. In
some stores the claim is made that
the Christmas trade was four times
as great as that of last year Money
which has been boarded, was brought
out and spent freely. Not only were
the children of the rich cared for
but so far as can be learned every
one, no matter how poor, received
something to make the day glad
one. True, some forgot the holt
ness of the day and celebrated, per-
haps in a questionable manner, but
the American people must be amused
and they pay the price. But it is
useless to contend that Santa was
not in his usual good health.

Cleveland, Ohio.-That John D.
Rockefeller will live to more than
ninety-four is the prediction OF DR..
H. F. Biggar, his family physician.
Dr.. Biggar watched Mr.. Rockefel-
ler play golf over the Forest Hill
links, and at the finish declared that
the Standard Oil magnate was likely
to live more than quarter of a CEN
tury longer.
Mr.. Rockefeller, who looked partic-
ularly we'll, said he had never felt
better in his life and that he could
eat anything.
William Rockefeller, John D. Rock
efeller's father, is still living and is
ninety-four. Dr.. Biggar said he sees
no reason why the master Of Forest
Hill should not live longer than his
father.
"He is the best-trained athlete in
the sixty-year-old class in the world
to-day, and he's sizty-eight, at that, ;"
he said. He'll live longer than his
father, I'm sure. Did you see his
strokes on the links this morning?
Did they look feeble? tell you, Mr..
Rockefeller has been born twice ply
sically, and he is only fourteen years
old now. He is growing up again.

Where our table with cherries and
