EE — Belletonte, Pa., May 1, 1914. IITA FOR YOU TO MEMORIZE. Do not drop the fruit you're eating, Children mine, On the sidewalk, sewer, grating Children mine; But lest you and I should quarrel Listen to my little moral, Go and toss it in the barrel Children mine. Look! Where’er you drop a paper Children mine In the wind it cuts a caper, Children mine Down the street it madly courses And should fill you with remorses, When you see it scare the horses, Children mine. Paper cans were made for papers, Children mine Let's not have this fact escape us, Children mine And if you will lend a hand Soon our city dear shall stand As the cleanest in the land ' Children mine. ———————. CIVIC BEAUTY—A PHASE OF PA- TRIOTISM. «patriotism is that passion which moves a person to serve his country, either in defending it from invasion, or in protecting its rights and maintaining its laws and institutions.” Defense and protection of one’s country come under the province of military art, while creat- ing good laws and maintaining institu- tions which are the outgrowth of these laws belong to civil life. True patriotism of love, of country, embodied and personified. De Tocque- ville points out that there are two kinds of patriotism,—that of instinct and that of reason. The former, especially uniting the affections with the place of birth, the other associated with the personal inter- est of the citizen and depending on his having a share in the government of his country and in his identifying himself with its security, prosperity and improve- ment. Good citizenship, ti zrefore, requires the performance of duties, as well as the enjoyment of privileges; for, obligations do not end with the obedience to laws and the payment of taxes; these are com- pulsory, since the authorities will insist on the one and the treasury takes good care of the other. But a greater proof of patriotism is, in taking our full share of public work and responsibility and in showing great interest in local improve- ment, upon which so much of the health, comfort and happiness of a community depend. Having thus considered the kind of patriotism necessary to develop the good citizen, let us consider the growth and development of this country. Those who first came to our shores, im- pelled by a strong desire for religious liberty were puritanic in action and feel- ing and were dominated by the prevail- ing idea that the church should be the seat of government in the colonies. The primal idea was to build a home which would shelter them from storm and a church, severely plain and simple, in which to worship according to the dictates of their consciences. Then fol- lowed the community life. The town arose as the result of human energy. It became the trade center where com- modities were produced and distributed and in its zeal to perform this work, com- forts were ofttimes relinquished, pleas- ures abandoned and the delights of abundant air and sunshine foregone. If success along these lines attended their early efforts—better homes were constructed, pleasanter streets laid out and the community took forward steps. Provision was made for education, phil- anthropy and enjoyment. Asylums and hospitals were erectedin course of time, followed by parks and baths; and schools by libraries and art galleries. This last phase of development was reached, only, when our large cities realized that the culture of the citizen was of as much moment as the cleaning of streets and regard for the public good, whether moral, political or physical, as well worth considering as the community’s industrial life. Such has been the progress of our country, that, at the beginning of the new century, we are inaugurating a crusade for the promotion of civic beauty; a crusade against the ugly and debased wherever it is found; and we are ready to make Aristotle’s definition of a city our own,—"A place where men live a common life for a noble end.” ARTISTICALLY PLANNED. No really beautiful cities or villages are possible unless artistically planned and could towns realize their growth and development and secure a landscape architect as did the city of Washington, how much future labor and expense could be avoided! For it was the magnif- icent plan of L’Enfant, approved by George Washington, which ts responsible for the capital city’s being one of the most beautiful cities in the world. A town being planned, next comes its construction. All work in town and city building may be classed as creative and supressive. In the creative, we have first, the essentials; second, recreations. If streets cross streams, bridges must be built; streets must be paved, lighted, kept in repair; poles must be erected for telegraph, telephone and lighting wires; fire alarms must be disposed of and drain- age planned. Happy the town whose sewerage system, gas mains and water supply are considered simultaneously and the inhabitants not subjected to an- nual street excavations for many years! These years of creative work are years of patient endurance, long suffering, heavy taxes and ofttimes bad manage- ment in a city’s life.. Following the acquisition of these es- sentials next comes the work of sup- pression before can be built the city beautiful. In the burial of wires, in the suppression of smoke, in building regula- tions, and in the control of advertising, comes much restrictive work. The city that now shows the fewest wires is most progressive. Could we consume smoke as easily as bury wires, we would not have our otherwise fair cities decorated with a flag of such bad design and color as are the penants of black smoke which fly from the tall chimneys of our manu- factories. In building regulations a wise city will insist on obedience to such rules as are necessary to curb the freedom of the individual for the good of the community; for instance, limiting the height of build- ings, securing a degree of harmony with their neighbors and requiring all public buildings to receive the architects. ADVERTISING PROBLEM. The advertiging problem is the great- est nuisance which confronts towns and cities in their endeavors for civic better- ment. To pass and enforce ordinances which will prevent advertising on trees and poles, to control the height of bill- boards and sign-boards and prevent the careless distribution of circulars, etc., is no small task. Anything marring the beauty of boulevard, avenue or street, destroving vistas, menacing health, of- fending good taste, or injuring morals, should be subject to restrictive measures. Charles Milford Robinson, a noted au- thority on the improvement of towns and cities, says: “Until we can clear the streets of wires, and clear the air of its black smoke’s menace to the city’s high- er life; until we secure some artistic suc- cess in building and restrain the adver- tiser from his conscienceless assault, we cannot hope for urban amenity, and may well put dreams of beauty out of mind,” and adds, “for a statue in a sea of mud is as ill-chosen an ornament as are dia- monds on a beggar;” so until suppres- sion and repression have done their work, and the essentials of a city’s life have been created, there is little inducement to attempt to clothe in artistic form that which civilization has made useful in public life, or to plan to do much in the work of recreation. How all-embracing is the term “Out- door-art,” which includes the production of artistic street furnishings, such as street lamps, benches, flag-poles, stations and public comfort, shelters, etc. Also the building of parks, driveways, boule- vards, squares, railway terminals, etc. “[t requires as much organized effort to secure beauty in necessities as to create these necessities.” This work in our large cities is usually in the hands of municipal art socities, whose work is as varied as are the requirements of the city in which they were organized, as exemplified in the Cleveland organization founded to promote interest in the group plan for their new public buildings. The work of smaller societies consists chiefly of protests, and in the battle for civic art, theirs is an important work; for thus is often preserved for the city, small squares, triangles and circles which would otherwise be builded upon; and water fronts and elevations instead of being given over to commerce, are re- tained for the towns's recreation grounds. RESTS WITH PEOPLE. In all the effort to make beautiful the common place in civic life, one thing is notable; that the duty and hope rest with the people. In nothing can this be shown more fully than in the cultivation of trees. Many cities have so carefully guarded their trees, that they delight in the name of the Elm City, the Forest City, etc. The Laird’s advice to his son is well worth heeding, “Be aye stickin’ in a bit o’ tree. The trees will be grow- in’ when ye are asleepin’.” Parks for cities are a new demand; the park idea in America is but 50 years old. Boston Common, and the little squares laid out by William Penn in Philadelphia, were the only parks in existence until the land was purchased for Central Park in the city of New York in 1853. Boston, seeing the need of a great park system, has se- cured and now controls more than seven thousand acres of land, which is equit- ably distributed and connected by park- ways and boulevards. These encircle the city in an inner and outer concentric ring. When completed the metropolitan park system of Boston will be the finest in the world. This chain system of parks pre- vails in Chicago, and many other cities are developing their park systems in the same way, notably the city of Toledo. Another question which arises in cities, partaking more of a philanthropic than an aesthetic effort, is children’s play- grounds. Some one has called this the modern philanthropist’s favorite. Through the effect of woman’s clubs, there are few cities in the United States that have not something to show in the way of a playground, where “children may keep their souls pure, though they do scil their hands.” No city does its duty to its children which provides only pavements for them to play on, and leaves them but streets to look at. One of the many recreations which come under creative work is the adorn- ment of station grounds. Many railroads are using the village improvement idea to uplift the people and beautify the towns through which they pass. The national movement for the promo- tion of civic beauty is a growth of recent years. The world’s fair at Chicago gave the people such an opportunity as rarely comes to a nation to study in their prop- er relationship the four great arts, paint- ing, architecture, sculpture and landscape gardening. It made these arts bring things to hundreds of thousands who be- fore were unaware that a new standard of beauty was raised by which everything in the future would be compared. At the end of six months when the fair closed, we knew centuries more than the day it opened. We recall the amazement and oft- times contempt, which foreign visitors expressed that a people, capable of con- ceiving such scenes of dreamlike splendor should be so contented with dirty, noisy cities with their lack of good architec- ture, their few parks and public recrea- tion grounds and unspeakable public roads, along which were unkempt farms, dreary villages and dirty railway stations, From the year of the world’s fair at Chicago has dated a great impulse in the United States toward civic beauty. In- numerable clubs and commissions here have been formed which have endeavored to promote a higher regard for out-door art in all its forms. A recent tabulated list shows more than 150 organizations in this country and Europe whose work is civic betterment in some of its phases. All this shows co-ordination of effort. While each has a place and duty, none need to fight alone. There is no one cure for the ugliness and monotony of towns; there is no one road to victory. Theis is a place for each—and work for all. The American league for civic improve- ment was organized in Springfield, Ohio, in October, 1900—six years after the or- ganization of the Ohio state federation in the same city. Springfield may well be called Ohio’s mecca. Permit me to quote some recent utterances of its es- teemed Prof. Charles Zueblin: “The beginning of the new century finds ideals and concrete accomplish- ments so far advanced that for the first time the public is ready for a national organization to represent and co-ordinate these interests. The American e for Civic improvement would have been sadly premature in 1893. It is hardly ap- preciated even in 1902, but the friendly approval of good response from every State in the Union and from Canada; from city, town, village and rural district; from men, women and children; from practical workers, writers and teachers, all point to the necessity of a unification of improvement forces throughout the land. We believe the brief experience of four years of pioneer effort with inadequate financial support and notable sacrifices on the part of the i | ] | FROM INDIA.

Saturday I was quite popular on claim that this league has outlined a sat- isfactory plan of co-operation. Whether it shall be the organization honored be determined by the next few years of effort. In any case it is my privilege to testify that a year’s association gives me coniidence in believing the work they have done will lead to one of the most significant advances in the public left for America.” CIVIC IMPROVEMENT. 1 have endeavored in the brief space alloted to show a few of the many lines of work being pursued by various organi- zations, with but one sole purpose and aim; that of civic improvement. As in- habitants of the State of Ohio, we have had bequeathed to us a goodly heritage— a land teeming with flowers, a land of hills and dales, of running brooks and great rivers and storm-beaten shores. At ourselves a great Commonwealth, rich in agriculture and commerce, with water- ways on our northern and southern bor- ders and railways to carry products toany point desired. Towns and villages have sprung up, as if by magic, until we num- ber four cities with from one to 400,000 souls, 10 other cities between 10 and 100.- 000, over 200 from one to 10,000 and nearly 2,000 towns and villages between 100 and 1,000 inhabitants.

Well, this is how ' it turned out. I was starting to the tea- | party when a tonga with two Indian men | came driving to our door and I was told | that I was wanted, so out I went. The man who wanted to speak to me was rather well dressed and spoke good !

Gladstone once noted Americans as, conspicuous for combining enthusiasm for their country with love for their cities.’ It is this love for one’s city that is the spur of civic art. There is now in the larger cities of our State well organized efforts; in many towns and villages good work is being done, but there is no con- cert of action. There should be a federa- ted purpose and effort. One plan sug- gested for women’s clubs that desire to take up local work is, that the reciprocity bureau of the State federation be the | agency through which local organizations are kept in touch with a national league. WORK MOST NEEDED. Whatever the method of procedure, let us resolve to take up the work most needed in our own city, town or village. Some one gives this advice, “Do what- ever needs doing and do it systematically and thoroughly that no adverse criticism can be made; do it tactfully; make no enemies. Let the city authorities know that you intend to work in harmony with them and to support them in all efforts for the public welfare.” One point to be made, in all woman’s effort to make cities cleaner and fairer, is, the necessity of moving slowly and carefully at the start. The moving spirit of the Denver Wom- an’s club said: “We did but little prac- tical work for threc years. It is better to theorize a year too long, have weight coming from a club that has accomplished so much. Village improvement work is one of the most beautiful thoughts of today. The grinding stress of city life makes people seek the smaller town for rest and recreation. Electric railways take the city to the country, and people seek attractive neighborhoods. Fortunate the day which shall see the great body of federated club women in our State united in a concerted movement for civic beauty! We need only to review what has been done by our State federation along the lines of traveling libraries and educa- tional work during the first seven years of its existence, to realize what may be done in the coming decade with all the rough places made smooth, through the aid of the American league of civic im- provement. Emerson, when asked, “What is good citizenship,” answered “The power of good women.” What more significant than that, standing on the threshold of the second century of our existence, as a State, we should re- serve, that in the world-wide civic battle between ugliness and beauty, we should pronounce ourselves, allies to beauty’s side. We can no more separate beauty from nature, than we can separate gravitation from material things. It is only man, with the inartistic work of his hands, with his selfish aims and sordid ambi- tions, that mars the face of nature or thwarts the purpose of the divine mind. We have begun to remember; we are willing to sit at the feet of the wisest and best teachers. Let us strive to realize the vision of artist and poet—making their dream—our dream, and humanity’s dream of “the city beautiful.”—By Mrs. Samuel B. Sneath, Manchester, N. H. For the Girls and Boys of Bellefonte. The League of Good Citizenship of the Civic Club of Philadelphia has now about 10,000 juvenile members, but men and women, as well as children, help to keep that city clean by observing the rules: DO NOT throw down any PAPER. DO NOT throw down any FRUIT. DO NOT throw down any RUBBISH. DO NOT hurt any PROPERTY. . OBSERVEall city ORDINANCES. ; League Watchwords: 1. CLEANLINESS 5. HONESTY woe ETS 2. ORDER 6. OBEDIENCE 3.

It would have been a | dream ride had the “tonga” top been off | but as it was, one could see nothing but i the road ahead of us. | With a satchel containing our necessa- | ry drugs and instruments, a blanket, apiece and a “sauri” of water at our feet we drove, and drove, and drove, finally stopping in front of a house. The man | called and asked whether they could! take us in for the night. “No, we aie] full,” was the answer; and it was eleven o'clock at night, at a little place without | any hotels. Well, on we went to see the ! sick woman and after a longer drive | than before, we finally stopped in front | of a big house and this was where we | were wanted. We were taken in and up | a steep, narrow stairway, then onto a| veranda and through more rooms, along i narrow galleries, until I was thorougly | lost, it was like a maze. At last we | were ushered into a long, narrow room, on the floor of which lay sleeping two boys and four women while on a bed was a nice fat Indian woman, my patient, (the others were her servants.) I asked and refuse “to be killed.” It took all the coaxing of Mrs. R. and the patient’s hus- band to get her to consent to my listen- ing to her heart then, after a thorough examination I found absolutely not a thing wrong. It was twelve o'clock and I was pretty angry; simply a case of hys- teria. I did not say much, but gave orders for her food and told them what medicines to give, then left to spend the night in the station. When we arrived there we found but one couch, so had to use a bench; there were myriads of mos- quitoes and we had no bedding. After a bad night we got up to make a five-thir- ty train, to find it was an hour late; we then tried to get something to eat, but there was no restaurant. Itseemed per- fectly absurd for two people to be made so uncomfortable, because a woman had nothing to occupy her time but imagin- ing ills. We finally got back safely and after two hours’ sleep I went to a tea party and forgot my troubles. I guess two much money is not good for any one. My patient is so lazy she refuses to raise a cup of drinking water to her lips; is it any wonder she is getting so fat her heart palpitates on the least exertion. Not even in my wildest dreams could I have pictured the patient's father, the man who greeted us on our arrival. He was an old Indian, his head closely shav- en, except for the scalp lock that, as you remember is always long enough to grasp with the hand, for in this way must a Hindu be pulled into heaven; the lock of hair was sticking straight out from his head, a thin cotton shirt long of tail, and a “doti” completed his ward robe. When seated between the lamp and myself he made good shadow pic- tures. There were many more men and it seemed as though in every corner I saw servants. Strange to say, in this house the furniture, although crude, was covered with some rather handsome red rugs and the pillows on the beds were covered with brilliant blue satin. These pillows are as hard and uncomfortable as a blockof wood, but are in common use among the better class folk. The old “chokadar” has just gone past, coughing and clearing his throat loudly to warn me that he is doing his duty; if one was asleep, the way he thuds his stick would be sufficient to wake you. One night we found him asleep across an open door and after howling at him for a long time, got him awake and we asked what he would do if a thief came along. “Oh,” he replied, “he would beat me and then “Huzoor” he would run away and your things would be safe.” A new idea for a watchman. ed by a heavy atmosphere and at first I thought it was mist but find that it is dust. In some near-by place there has been a big dust storm and you should smell and taste our air; everything is covered with fine yellow dust and it is hard to breathe. Itis a curious condi- tion; you would think it would settle, but somehow it don’t any more than a mist and, unlike mist, the sun has no ef- fect except to look like pure gold. The wind is very high and this I am told, helps to keep the dust agitated. The enclosure is a clipping from the Times of India, showing the attitude of these men toward England’s militants: Mr. Ramchand Kashinath Dattarya writes to us as follows: “My pur- pos for writin on you this is to en- form your many English Brothers not to give honor and devotion to your ladys becaus they will in the end becum proud and then they will want vote. 2or 3 thing happen at Victory Garden to-morrow and then 1 all of sudden made up my brain to write you immediate. There was many Englis womans and when mans are sitting on the bench, and wom- ans come, man stand, and give their sit to woman. This happen 2 or 3 time to-morrow and I question you why? I again tell you why? Mans and womans are similar in this world and then why mens honors woman. If they honours old old women, one thing, but they honours young young lady. My purpose to write this to in- form the Englis Saheb loks that when they do this they spoil their femi- nine lady and then this lady get proud and walk like pcock and then ask vote and then spoil Ken Garden and throw bomb on Loid Gorg, but bursting powder in envelope and post, and create other mischief. Therefore I say to my Englis, please don’t spoil Englis womans in India because by honouring them you peo- ple put in their brain the sids of suf- ragetism and then they get wild like Misses Pancurs Please please print this letter near the Ruter’s Telegram with big big words.” (Continued next week.) Storekeepers can Help Kill the Fly. [A copyrighted editorial in the New York Jour- nal, written by Arthur Brisbane.] This is an invitation to the great stores | —to do something very useful, something that will help the health of the commu- nity and the prosperity of all. Encourage the fly-killing idea. Devote space in your stores to an exhibition of approved fly-killers, the kind made of wire, the kind made of leather and the other kinds. Give away the very cheap fly-killers as advertisements. Some druggists now do a Sell the best of fly-killers at as low prices as possible. Make a specialty of fly-paper and fly-screens. Talking about fly killing is important. But talking is only talking. To kill flies you must have fly-killers, and you must have fly-paper and the various liquid poisons deadly to the flies but harmless to children and animals. To keep the flies out you must have fly-screens. The stores, big and little, can do more in the crusade against disease than all the talking by all the editors. Therefore, this newspaper invites the storekeepers—distributors of knowledge and health, as well as of other products —to join the crusade against the flies by encouraging the purchase of fly-destroy- ers of every conceivable kind. Let us Make This the Cleanest Town in the World. Are we, You and I, as individuals, do- ing all that we can do—are we doing anything in particular toward maintain- ing the position to which this town is entitled by claims of heritage as First and foremost of American towns?

Urging upon the community individual effort in the campaign for a cleaner town, Burgess Blanchard this week issued the following proclamation on “Clean-up- Week,” which starts Monday, May 4th. PROCLAMATION. To the Citizens of Bellefonte: The third annual “‘Clean-up-Week’’ for a spick- and-span Bellefonte begins on Monday, May 4th. The committee in charge of the “Clean-up- Week” campaign, with the able assistance of the Council, has urged upon you in many ways the necessity of giving your full share of co-operation toward the success of this undertaking. Let not the appeal go unheeded. Every citizen should make it his duty during this week to clean up his property, both inside and outside; to join with spirit and determination in the crusade against dirt and filth and to work ungrudgingly for a healthier, safer and brighter Bellefonte. Gather together such articles as old beds and bedding, mattresses, discarded pieces of furni- ture, broken dishes and crockery, paper, bottles, rags, cans, etc., and put them in such condition that they can be easily loaded into wagons by the collector. Those things have little or no value to you and their continued presence in obscure corners of the house only serves the purpose of affording a breeding place for common disease carriers or of increasing your fire risk. Likewise clean up the filth and trash on vacant lots and help to eliminate by preventive methods the most persistent of summer pests, the fly and the mosquito. All the town asks of its citizens now is a little individual effort, a concentrated effort on the part of all toward the bringing about of better living conditions. Let us take this opportunity of showing our sincerity and civic pride and enter enthusiastical- ly into the campaign for a cleaner town. Let it be a real pleasure to clean up the house from top to bottom, the yard, the alley, the vacant lot and all other places where insanitary and otherwise dangerous conditions exist, realizing, as we must, the enormous advantage to be gained. Let us beautify by planting flowers in the back yard and in the porch boxes and sow grass seed on the places that are now barren. Let us make Bellefonte spick and span and earn the right to the title, “‘Pennsylvania’s Cleanest Town.” EDMUND BLANCHARD, Burgess. Real Estate Transfers. Andrew S.

Remember that your birthright is health. A diseased condition is unnatur- al. Nature hates disease. She is always working against it, trying to cleanse it as a blot on her dominion. But nature can- not work without material.” If you do not eat, you will starve in spite of all Na- ture’s effort. You must eat good food. Nature cannot make bad food into good flesh and good blood. If you eat good food and your stomach is diseased the food you eat fouls. It is here that Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery finds its place. It is made to assist Nature; to give her what she lacks. It removes the diseased condition of the stomach and organs of digestion and nutrition, so that good food is not fouled before being made into blood and flesh. It eliminates poisonous and effete material, and so prepares the way of Nature and makes her paths straight. In the whole range of medicines there is nothing which will heal the stomach and cleanse the blood like “Golden Medical Discovery.” ——They are all good enough, but the WATCHMAN is always the best.
