, Pa., June 30, 1911. E—— — - They Were Used In Palestine as Early as the Year 850 B. C. Professor George A. Reisner of Har- vard university discovered among some speciments of earliest [icbrew writing in the excavations of the city of Samaria, in Palestine. a most inter- esting record of the first pure food laws in history. He also found nx cient writings dealing with the first instance on record of the kecping of wines in a government warchouse un- der bond. Dating back to the period of King Ahab, 850 B. C., these inscriptions are considered to be one of the greatest finds of the Harvard Palestinian ex- peditions which delved into the city of Ahab and Omri for three years. They found labels on wine and oil jars. These mention the year in which the wine was laid down in the cellars of the palace storehouse, and they state the vineyard from which the wine came, important facts that are recog- nized equally well by vintners today. On the oil jars the label runs, “A jar of pure oil,” with the mention of the district from which the oll came. The bits of pottery on which the descrip- tions were written were not parts of the jars, but were evidently intended to be attached to the necks of the re- ceptacles, just as are labels or seals at the present time.—New York World. WOOL, SILK AND LINEN. Tests That Will Determine the Quality of the Fabrics. If you wish to find out whether the material sold to you as all wool or all silk is really so make a {5 per cent so- lution of caustic potash and in this boll your sample of silk or wool. If the entire sample is consumed in the boiling your material is what it pre- tends to be: if there is n residue that residue is cotton. The caustic solution consumes the animal fibers, If you wish to find out whether the silk that seems to be heavy silk is welghted with mineral burn the sam- ple and the ash will show you how much mineral weighting there is. The pure silk will be wholly consumed. In buying supposed linen goods of toweling or suiting, dip your sample into concentrated sulphuric acid for two minutes and wash it out carefully. The cotton will have been consumed. the linen will have resisted the nction of the acid. This test is one that should be made with precaution, as vitriol is not a thing te he tzmpered | with.— Mary Heaton Vorse in Success Magazine. Right and Wrong Exercise. The word “exercise” covers n mnlti- tude of sins. It is n very loose term used for any form of physical exer- tion. be it sweeping out a factory. walking home from the office or lifting dumbbells. To say “Exercise is bene- ficial” is n very inaccurate remark and a very dangerous belief. It is neces- sary to distinguish between right and wrong exercise. As often as not big muscles in arms, chest or legs are a calamity, for they actually shorten life unless the vital organs are proportion- ately developed to take care of them. Men are constantly wearing out their hearts and arteries with some form of violent work they call “exercise.” If continued they wonid die of arterio- sclerosis. A pretty good general rule for these men to go by is to take no form of exercise nfter they are grown up that ther cannot k-« p on with until they are old men.—J. Edmund Thomp- son in National Magazine. Needed the Money Badly. A newspaper man of Washington was approached one morning by a | friend who wanted to borrow 85. The newspaper man, assuming an espres- sion of great sorrow. pulled U0 cents out of his pocket and remarked: “I'm sorry. old man, but you've struck me just before pay day. and I'm broke." Having made this crafty excuse, he. mentally speaking, pinned a gold medal on himself for having evaded | the prospective borrower. “When is your pay day?’ asked the friend. : “Tomorrov: afternoon,” replied the newspaper man, “All right,” said the friend. come around then.” And he did.—Popular Magazine. Merely a Test Case. A burly negro came to the doctor of a West African missionary settlement, dragging his reluctant wife with him. “Doctor, pull one of my wife's teeth out.” said he. i The doctor examined the woman's | mouth and found only sound teeth. “Oh, that makes no difference,” said | the interested negro. “Pull one any- | way. If it doesn't hurt her too much | then you can pull my tooth that is aching.” —Success Magazine. wil The Borrowing Neighbor. | again. “Say, John, yer haven't been over ter my home since my birthday gatherin’, | jest a year ago termorrer.” i “It ain't that | have hard feelin's ag’in you, but you have so confounded many things what belongs ter me that | when | come it kind o' makes me homesick.” —Pittsburg Times. | —————————————— | Mistaken Identity. i Walking down St. James' street, Lord Chelmsford was accosted by a stranger, who exclaimed. “Mr. Birch, | 1 believe?" “If you believe that, sir, you'll be- lieve anything.” replied the ex-chan-' cellor as he passed on.—“A Book About | Lawyers,” by Jeafferson. bars Nov. 2 or 3, 1778. Once a vessel! is gripped by the sands the process of entombing her goes on with great rapidity, the craft appear ing to sink steadily in the yielding beach. All around the doomed vessel the sand piles up in great drifts, like snow. Every crevice of the bull is quickly filled. The sand rises in a solid barrier out<ide it and flows about i as the tides flood the shelving beaches. Finally it sweeps over the wreck, and the process of entombing goes on until the entombed craft is covered many feet deep.— Boston Globe. SURE TO BE MISSED. A Famous Cook's Lament on the Death | of His Royal Master. The most successful book that was published by Willinm Harrison Ains- worth during his tirst year of busi. ness, says Mr. 8. M. Ellis in his blog- | raphy of the English author and pub- lisher. was a cookbook. It was “The French Cook.” by Louis Eustache Ude, “the (il Blax of the kitchen.” Thix unique study of the culinary art brought in an handsome sum to the astute young publisher who had pur chased the copyright. and the book was in the hands of every gourmet in London Ude had been zhef of Louis XVI, of Mme. Letizin Bonaparte and then of the Earl of Sefton, at a salary of 300 guineas a year. At another time be presided over the culinary department of the Crockfords, but his favorite master was Frederick, duke of York. When the royal gormand died his bereaved chef pathetically ejaculated: “Ah, mon pauvre duc, how much you will miss me, wherever you are gone to!” Odd Word Survivals. Far away back in the days when the English language was in its infancy | there were poets who wrote of the | blossoms on the trees in the spring. | They didn’t write “blossom.” however, but used the word “blow” and made it rhyme with snow and flow. When they wished to sing of the beautiful mass of apple or hawthorn flowers they called It the “blowth.” This word is found in the dictionaries, which assert that it is obselete, but it is very much alive in Rockingham county. N. H. and York county, Me. The orchardist thereabout speaks of a “full blowth” or “light blowth" on his trees in May and predicts a good or | poor “set” of the fruit in consequence. “Qrts" are supposed to be refuse of some kind. but in the valley where the Piscataqua river mingles with the sea worts” is the name for “swill."—Ex- change. Tricking the Bobby. A Dublin eccentric a short time ago entered a purveycr’'s shop and bought a ham. Having paid for his purchase, he requested that it should be hung outside the shop door, saying that he would call back for it. The customer ' then paced up and down outside the i shop till a policeman came in sight, and just as the man in blue caught his eye he grabbed the ham and bolt- ed. The constable, however, soon col- lared the thief. as he thought, and ' hauled him back to the shop. Having explained the nature of the alleged crime to the shop assistant. be asked the latter to chnrge the offender. “But.” said the assistant as be real- ized the joke. “it's his own ham. He was quite at liberty to take it in any | efreumstances he chose.” —London An- | SWers. Weatherwise Birds and Fish. The seagull makes a splendid living barometer. If a covey of seagulls fly seaward early in the morning sallors | and fishermen know that the day will be fine and the wind fair, but if the | birds keep inland, though there be vo haze hanging out toward the sea to denote unp'easant weather, interested folk know that the elements will be | unfavorable. Of all weatherwise fish the dolphin is the most remarkable. During a fierce gale or a storm at sea the mariner knows thut the end of it is pear if he can see a dolphin or a pumber of that fish sporting on the high sea waves.

Unless the patients are unreasonable in their demands we provide the kind of clothes they ask for. and no doubt many of them leave the hospital better dressed than they have ever been in their lives.

NATURE GIVES TIMELY WARNINGS THAT NO BELLEFONTE CITIZEN CAN AF FORD TO IGNORE. DANGER SIGNAL No. 1 comes from the kidney secretions. They will warn you when the kidneys are sick. Well kidneys excrete a clear, amber fluid. Sick kid- neys send out a thin, pale and foamy, or a thick, red, ill-smelling urine, full of sedi- ment and irregular of passage. DANGER SIGNAL NO. 2 comes from the back. Back pains, dull and heavy, or sharp and acute, tell you of sick kidneys and warn you of the coming of dropsy, diabetes and Bright's disease. Doan’s Kid- ney Pills cure sick kidneys and cure them permanently. Here's Bellefonte proof; Hiram Fetterhoff, 28 W. Bishop Street, Bellefonte, Pa., says: “I have no hesita- tion in recommending Doan's Kidney Pills, knowing them to be a first-class kid- ney remedy. For some time I was annoy- ed by irregular passages of the kidney se- cretions and reading that Doan’s Kidney Pills were a specific for kidney complaint, I procured a supply at Green's Pharmacy Co. Their use relieved me and I am now in much better health. Doan’s Kidney Pills are certainly an effective kidney medicine.” (Statement given Oct. 2lst, 1907.) NO CAUSE FOR COMPLAINT SINCE. When Mr. Fetterhoff was interviewed on November 22nd, 1909 he said: “I wil- lingly confirm my former endorsement of Doan’s Kidney Pills. The relief they brought me has been permanent.” all dealers.
