"Am 1 MY Brothers Keeper"

When God questioned Cain as to what
had become OF his brother Abel, whom
he had murdered, his evasive reply
was given in the language Of the en-
curry forming the title OF this article.
Consciousness OF his guilt, and Of the
fact that the Creator designed that the
and every other man who should come
into the world, should be, in certain
sense, his brothers guardian, made
Cain fear and tremble in the presence
Of the Lord.
There come times in the life Of each
individual when matters OF public in
terest should make him AJAX his own
conscience, serious y, how he shall be-
come his brothers keeper. The local
option election to be held in Shep-
herdstown on March 9th presents q case
in point. Saloons are in our midst be-
cause few individuals care more for
gain than for the peace aud happiness
OF their fellow beings. Surely all
Christian voters, and all other citizens
who desire to see Satan's powerful ally,
King Alcohol, overthrow will go to the
polls and rebuke the effort Of selfish
men.
1t behooves those who are prominent
among the people to arouse others to
the performance Of duty, to forget party
differences and personal preferences for
town officials in the paramount ques-
ton, Shall we have the salooni
The boys and girls Of this generation
who will constitute the next one are
our wards. Let US show
How grandly and nobly we stand to
our trust
When reused by call to cause that
is just"
The lame argument about infringing
upon the rights of those who sell or de-
sire TO drink ardent spirits should have
no weight with those who know liquor
dealers and tipplers have no respect for
the morality Of the community, for the
sacred ties Of home, or for the God who
maketh His blessings to fall upon the
Just and the unjust" Nor does the
plea for the revenue accru ng to the
government, State or municipal, have
any force when we know by actual sta
tistics that the drink evil causes innum.
cradle crimes which an enormous out
lay Of money cannot suppress. The
revenue argument is based upon a Gor-
did principle, and a mistrust in the
care and control of gracious and ON
nipotent God.
A great English commander, on the
eve OF critical battle, thus addressed
his troops: England expects every
man to do his duty" So do the noblest
impulses of our nature, the ties OF bro
therhood, the atfectionate regard for
cur sons and daughters, the God who
desires the welfare Of all His creatures,
call to US in unmistakable voice-do
your duty. F. A. b.

Recipe Mixed Often.

Recipe Mixed Often.
Some remarkable stories are being
told about town and among the coun-
try people coming in of this simple
homemade mixture curing Rheuma-
tism and Kidney trouble. Here is the
recipe and directions for taking Mix
by shaking we'll in bottle one.half
ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion, one
ounce Compound Kargon, three oun-
ces Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla.
Take as dose one teaspoonful after
meals and at bedtime.
No change need be made in your
usual diet, but drink plenty of good
water.
This mixture, writes one authority
in a leading Philadelphia newspaper,
has a peculiar tonic effect upon the
kidneys; cleansing the clogged.uI
pores of the ellminative tissues, fore
ing the kidneys to sift and strain from
the blood the uric acid and other
poisonous waste matter, overcoming
Rheumatism, Bladder and Urinary
troubles in short while.
A New York druggist who has had
hundreds of calls for these ingredients
since the fret announcement in the
newspapers last October stated that
the people who once try 1t "swear BY
it" especially those who have Trina
ry and Kidney trouble and suffer
with Rheumatism.
The druggists in this neighborhooC
say they can supply the ingredients
which are easily mixed at home
There is said to be no better blood
cleansing agent or system tonic known
and certainly none more harmless o
! simple to use.

Mr.. Domer's infectious Conduct.

had words about it. At any rate,
about midnight the neighbors were
aroused by wild shrisks that indicated
serious domestic trouble, together
with the report of a pistol shot. A
moment later Mrs. Domer emerged
from the house and sought shelter
with a nsighbor. Sam had shot her
squsrsly in the forehead with revol.

Such was not the case, however, for

considerable turmoil toI time, and
it was agreed that Sam ought to be
caught. But as he still had his revol-

and by the time Sergeant Shipley and
Constable Lemen arrived on the scene
he had scooted for parts unknown.
He Was seen some hours later at Bak.

he had again disappeared and is still

cause of the trouble was the bad COM

whiskey which had bsen provided for
Sam in anticipation of the election.

From the MeKsesport, Pa, paper
of this week we take the following

resident of ShepherdstoWn Shaken

a report that awakened hundreds of
slespers in the nsighborhood, the front
porch of the home of Hugh Pendle.
ton, superintendent of the National
rolling mills. in Sixteenth street, Nc
Keesport, was shattered by an explo-
sion of Dynamite at 5 o'clock yester-
day morning. So great was the force
of the explosion that Mr.. Pendlston
and his family we're shaken from their
beds, although no one was injured.
A hurried Investigation revealed a
hole loot square In the floor of the
porch, while the roof was completely
wrecked. A stick OF dynamite, which
for some reason did not explode, was
found under the porch, while por-
ton of the fuse, which was found, Is
said to show that the man who used
it was inexperienced. The property
on which the house stands Is In It'll
CATION and it IL to be sold by the or
phans' court March IA. The house
was erected by Bernard Morris. who
died before it was completed. The
foreigners employed on the work, it is
said, we're forced to wait for their
pay until the estate was settled. Ii
Is thought that some of them, angered
over the delay, planned revenge by
destroying the place.

SAVINGS BANK INVESTMENTS.

ways been a champion of the
principle that Vermont money
should be kept at home to de-
velope Vermont business. This
has been the rule of the Hyde
Park Savings Bank and the
Monitor, commenting on the
fact, says:
Not so very long ago the Monitor
published an editorial on investing
money ID Vermont, saying among
other things
Invest your money 10 Vermont
Trade at home! # Vermontcrs
would carry out these two simple rules
there would be less complaint of high
taxes, fewer Of our young men would
move from the state and the problem
Of the New Vermont would be
solved
We are as thoroughly convinced of
this truth to-day as we ever were, and
the fact thar the LamoilIe County
Savings Bank and Trust Company Of
Hyde Park, c. S Page, president,
has made il rule since ITS founding
to make no investments outside OF
Vermont, that il has never lost dol.
lar BY poor investments, and that It's
assets have just passed the million
dollar mark, all 90 to prove the truth
Of the statement We do not know
how far Vermont banks in general
make il rule to keep their money In 4
vested in the state. but we do know
thar this bank has kept IFS money in
Vermont, has advertised the fact, and
has had a phenomenal growth.
This Bank pays 4 per cent,
compounded semi annually on
deposits of 500 or more, re-
in the bank one full
year.
