First, be. canse of the increased cost of all the nec- essaries of life, which naturally reduoces the amount the average workman will bave to spend on luxories, ete. Second, the mooey market stringency may have its el- fect on boliday buying but perhaps one of the greatest reasons why some Bellefonte merchants are not getting their share of the business is becanse they do not adver- tise, and consequently holiday shoppers go to where they know they can get what they want. There is no bester way to crowd your stores with buyers than to leave them know what you have to sell, and the best way to do this is throngh the columns of your newspaper. > ——While Bellefonte is in no immediate danger of a coal famine it is true, never- theless, that anthracite coal, and especial. ly the chestnut and pea varieties, are at times quite scarce in this place. This soarcity is occasioned because of the nn- usnal demand for the smaller sizes, owing no doubt to the fact that pea coal, at least, is considerably cheaper than the larger grades. The immense freight traffic on the railroads very likely has something to do with retarding the shipment of coal and between the two the stock on band in Bellefonte yards at times becomes very low. But so far as now known consumers need have no fear of not being able to get enough of fuel to keep them warm, or of any increase in the price of ame. —— If you are looking for a useful gifs for man or boy the Fauhle Stores will make your selection easy. oe — William 8.

PASADENA, CAL., Drc. 4. EpirorR WATCHMAN: — We have been reading in the WaTcHMAN and other papers, as well as in private let: ters, various comments on the disagreeable weather you have been experiencing in the east and thought it might be of some inter- est to your readers, among whom we have many dear friends, to read a brief account of the weather at this season of the year at Pasadena, as well as a few other items of interest. . We arrived here on the evening of Novem. ber 9th and the following day was cloudy most of the time, the sun appeared only at brief intervals, but the day was pleasant and comfortable, nevertheless. The next morn- ing the sun came up brilliantly and not a cloud was to be geen all day. So it has been day after day, without exception, up until the present time. One day the thermome- tor registered 84° in the shade but usually the temperature ranges from 70° to 78°. The nights are always cool and the mornings cool and bracing, but Old Sol soon warms up the atmosphere and it is usually most delightful, The climate is indeed marvelous, for this season of the year, so that it is not much wonder people flock here to enjoy it and escape the more rigorous climate of the east. And then the good things we have to eat: Fresh vegetables in great abundance, peas, beans, caulifiower, egg plant, tomatoes and every other vegetable you can mention. And the fruits are just as abundant and delicious, (Great, big blackberries, strawberries, late penches, pears, grapes, canteloupes, watermel- ons, ete. Aud then there are flowers, flowers everywhere. Roses and most every other kind of flowers grace the breakfast table,the table at luncheon and at dinner, With the exception of the Sabbath we have taken a drive every morning since we came bere. The outdoor air and the fine scenery and good roads give great pleasure. Belle foute is « fine place to be in the summer, but give me Pasadena for the winter. Sincerely yours, Tuomas BR.

The Christmas Dinner, In spite of the fact that the word dyspep- sia means literally bad cook, it will not be fair for many to lay the blame on the cook if they begin the Christmas Dinner with litsle appetite and end it with distress or pansea. It may not be fair for any to do that—Ilet us hope so for the sake of the cook ! The 9iseage dyspeps ia indicates a and stomach, a weak stomach, rat than a bad cook, and for a weak stomach there in nothing else equal to Hood's Sar- saparilla. It gives the stomach vigor and tone, cures dyspepsia, oreates appetite, and makes eating the pleasure it should be. a
