favor of it and some are not. When

This Medicine Recommended by a Doctor

When doctor uses a medicine him
self besides prescribing it to his patients,
he must know that IL has merit.
This is what Dr.. j. II. Wagner q prom
inent physician Of Skate, Kentucky, has
to say about DR.. Hartman's well-known
remedy, PE-RU-NA: 81 have used Pc
RU-NA myself for catarrh and have
given it to others for catarrh, bloating
after eating and other ailments. 1t has
proved a success in all cases with old
and young men and women. All speak
well of PE-RU-NA. 1t is the best Of all
tonics."
DR.. Wagner, out Of the fullness Of his
own personal experience, for the good of
all sick and suffering, recommends
medicine which he knows to be good.
You may be sure doctor would not en-
danger his professional reputation by
endorsing PE-RU-NA unless satisfied be-
yond a doubt of it's value.
Whether your trouble be cough or a
cold or more subtle catarrhal ELECTION
OK the stomach, bowels or other organs,
give PJI-RU-NA a trial. The immediate
improvement which you will see will sat-
'E-RUNA is what you need.

HERMAN CREUTZBURG.

On Wednesday, March 31st, an
other Of our good citizens and bust
ness men was laid to rest. Mr.. Her
man Creutzburg has been identified
with Oakland for a good many years.
He was an active and successful man
of business; straightforward and ex-
tremely genial and made and retained
many friends. He was reared at Bar
ton, Allegany county. He spent a
number of years in the far west, but
later returned to his old home. He
married Miss Clara Barnes, who sur
wives him. For many years they have
fought life's battle together and have
had the satisfaction of seeing their
efforts crowned with success. Mrs.
Creutzburg ably and faithfully secon-
ded her husbands efforts in all that
he undertook and was devoted to him.
But in the midst of his career, when
success was attending him, he was
stricken with cancer and the best
efforts of the most skillful physicians
were unavailing to arrest the progress
of the disease. For nearly two years
he had been a great sufferer-at times
it was intense, but in it all he muir
INJURED not, but was invariably cheerful
and hopeful. Even when he knew
he could not win his fight he was con-
tented and patient. His trust in his
Savior was childiike and refreshing.
The Bible was. his daily companion
until he was no longer able to hold
the Book. He rested on the promises.
He was sustained by an invisible
power, and when the last moment
came he lifted his hands upward and
whispered: Il am going" and fell
asleep. Thus he entered into his rest
A goodly company of friends assem-
bled to pay their respects to a good
friend and neighbor and a successful
man. His funeral services were in
charge of his pastor, DR.. Ely, assisted
by Rev. Shultz, and the Masonic
lodge, of which he was a member for
many years, conducted the services
at the grave. He was member of
the Presbyterian church for a long
number of years. "
1T is not the tear at this moment
shed
When the cold turf has just been
laid Ger them,
That can tell how beloved was the
friend that's fed,
Or how deep in our hearts we de-
plore them.
IT'S the tear through many long
day wept,
( IT'S lifes whole path Ger shaded,
It's the one sad remembrance fondly
kept,
While all lighter griefs are faded"
A FRIEND.

MR.. PALMER ON NEW TRAIL.

An interesting dispatch comes out
OF Harrisburg, Pa, about Attorney
General Palmer, avowed Democratic
presidential aspirant 1t appears that
he had heart-to-heart confab with
a number of Democratic leaders who
will espouse his candidacy in Penn
sylvania
After the conference was over, Mr..
Palmer gathered the newspaper men
around him and gave out an inter
view about campaign issues. 1.-THE
peace treaty and the league of ma
tons will be the big issues for the
coming campaign" he is quoted as
saying Then he added that prohi-
bition will probably be discussed, but
whether it will become an. issue rests
largely with the candidates.
Where and whittier went the big
plank of the Palmer platform, upon
which he had been carpentering for
months and months? Where, oh,
where were the Knockout Drops for
the High Cost of Living? Vanished
as completely as though the earth
had opened while the conference was
in progress and had swallowed it up.
In all likelihood that is exactly
what happened there. Those Demo
cratic leaders in all probability told
Mr.. Palmer that the plank upon lthich
he had been so laboriously working
for months was as rarifed and as
tenuous as the air in which Mr.. Will
son heard his strange voices and pos
sessed no substantially in image or
In fact. In short, those leaders doubt
less told Mr.. Palmer that he had
better leave off all his fub-dub about
having knocked the socks off the high
cost of living. If not, why should Mr..
Palmer Immediately call the newspa-
per men together and wander off into
2 new trail?
And as for sugar, not a word was
uttered by the sacchariferous attor-
ney general of these great United
States. And a waiting populace was
really anxious to hear how beautifully
Mr.. Palmer has brought down the
price Of sugar for the benefit of tax
burdened nation.

PEA CANNERY ASSURED

DOMAIN Mill at Loeb Lynn Heights
Has Been Acquired for Purpose.
The Mount Airy Canning Company,

DOMAIN grist mill located at Loeb
Lynn Heights, opposite Mountain
Lake Park, and two miles east of Oak
land, for the purpose of converting
it into canning factory where this
years crop of peas for table use will
be canned.
AS will be remembered by the read
ers of The Republican the interested
parties to the project of establishing
such an industry in Garrett county,
met with prospective growers at the
office of County Agent fowler some
weeks ago, Since which time the. mat
ter has been kept in mind by the ag--
riculturalists with the result that re-
Gently the required acreage has been.
signed up for by the farmers in the
community and the cannery is now
assured for 1920. This is an exper-
ment on the part of the Mount Airy
Canning Company as well as of the
farmers of the community, but if it
proves successful this year and the
agriculturists of the county with it
continued, a permanent plant will be
installed either at Loeb Lynn or in or
nearer Oakland, and other canning
products, such as corn, tomatoes,
beans and other vegetables, will be
canned by the company establishing
the business here.
While the required acreage of peas
has been secured for this year, few
more acres could be handled by the
proposed cannery, so if there should
be any who wish to grow a few peas
as an experiment they should see the
County Agent and sign for the
amount they expect to grow. This
should be done at once, as the seed
will have to be ordered and after the
order is forwarded it will be too late
to get in with the delayed agreements.

The New World says: There is
only one constitutional method of ter
minating war, and that is by the
negotiating and ratification of Urea
ty Of Peace between the belligerents. :"
The Constitution says nothing about
terminating war;" or how it shall
be accomplished. The World should
know this, yet refuses to state that
fact. Also the World refuses to state
that the Constitution says the Presi-
dent shall have the power to negotiate
Treaties, but such treaties shall be
ratified by two-thirds of the Senators
voting. There is nothing in the Con-
stitution to prevent Congress from
declaring peace by resolution. Peace
by Treaty is only a custom-not a
Constitutional provision.
