In use for over thirty years, and The Kind You Have Always Bought. CROW BLACKBIRD (Quiscalus quiscula) » Length, twelve inches. at least three inches than the other grackles with trough-shaped tails. Shorter by Black, with purplish, bronze reflections. Range: Breeds throughout the United States west to Texas, Colorado, and Montana, and in southern Can- ada; winters in the southern half of the breeding range. Habits and economic status: This blackbird is a beautiful species, and is well known from its habit of congre- gating in city parks and nesting there year after year. Like other species which habitually assemble in great flocks, it is capable of inflicting much damage on any crop it attacks, and where it is harmful a judicious re- duction of numbers is probably sound policy. It shares with the crow and blue jay the evil habit of pillaging the nests of bluish, and small birds of eggs and young. Nev-, ertheless it does much good by de- stroying insect pests, especially white grubs, weevils, grasshoppers, and cat- erpillars. Among the caterpillars are army worms and other cutworms. When blackbirds gather in large flocks, as in the Mississippi valley, they may greatly damage grain, either when first sown or when in the milk. In winter they subsist mostly on weed seed and waste grain. New Guinea and Cameroons Stamps. The “ship type” of postage-stamp for Germany's second oldest colony, New Guinea, or New Britain, as it is now, also dated only from 1900, and was replaced in September, 1914; by some of the most interesting of the “occupation” stamps issued by the British authorities. The name Ger- man New Guinea was somewhat of a4 misnomer, the more so as the seat of Government was situated at Her-. bertshohe, on Gazelle Island, in the Bismarck Archipelago. At one time Germany had aspirations of alter- ing the name to German Australia, but it didn’t come off. The Camer- oons, too, were not blessed with their Hchenzollern postage-stamps until the end of 1900, and the extinction of this, unhappy type has been accomplished: by the overprinting of the surplus stocks with the initials “C. E. F.” (Cameroons Expeditionary Force) by the British authorities, and quite re- cently by wording in French signify- ing France’s part in the administra- tion of this territory.—Westminster Gazette. One Instance of H. C. L. “Yes,” the shoemaker said, as he wrapped up a pair of shoes he had just half soled, “there seems to be no end to the rise in prices. The sole leather that I bought twenty years ago for twenty-three cents a pound now costs me sixty-eight cents. Here are the bills and you cah see for yourself.” ‘ “Has the rise been sudden?” “No, it has been gradual and con- tinuous.” With sole leather costing three times as much as it did twenty years ago, one has at least a glimpse of the increased cost of living.—Colum- bus Dispatch. Medical. Truth Triumphs BELLEFONTE CITIZENS TESTI- FY FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT A truthful statement of a Belle- fonte citizen, given in his own words, should convince the most skeptical about the merits of Doan’s Kidney Pills. If you suffer from backache, nervousness, sleeplessness, urinary disorders or any form of kidney ills, use a tested kidney medicine. A Bellefonte citizen tells of Doan’s Kidney Pills. Could you demand: more cenvine- ing proof of merit? Fred Scott, 247 E. Lamb St., Belle- fonte, says: “I have to drive quite a bit over rough roads and the jolting had a bad effect on my kidneys. The trouble started with pains across the small of my back and if I stooped, I could hardly straighten without sharp pains across my loins. Doan’s Kidney Pills were recommended to me by friends and I got a box at Green’s Pharmacy Co. They brought me relief from the first. One box made a cure and I have not had the slightest backache since.” : Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Scott had.

Dogs have always been used in the low countries as the motive power for light carts and in towing ships in the canals. Now a special variety of ma- chine-gun dog of war is being bred, resembling the Eskimo dogs in their vitality and high spirits. They keep cheerful and efficient long after the human machine has yielded to fa- tigue. —National Geographic Maga- zine. The roads are dry and dusty. The farmers are very busy trying to plow for the fall seeding. Hugh Ralston, Pearl Evey and Pearl Grove spent Sunday in town.

David Getz and family, from Altoo- na, visited over Sunday at the home of his father, Squire J. W. Getz. Quite a number of the people from town attended the reception given to the soldier boys, in Boalsburg, Mon- day evening. Willard Dale took his Sunday school class to Mill Hall, Sunday, where they joined a party going to Western New York to spend the day. Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Get Rid of Humors And Avoid Disease Humors in the blood cause internal derangements that affect the whole system. They affect all the organs and functions, membranes and tissues, and are directly responsible for the readiness with which some people con- tract disease. For forty years Hood’s Sarsaparilla has been more successful than any other medicine in expelling humors and removing their inward and out- ward effects. It is distinguished for its thoroughness in purifying the blood, which it enriches and invigor- ates. Insist on having Hood’s. 61-31 ~ Tough. “I saw a lot of hard-looking char- acters up in the park this morning.” “Whereabouts in the park 7” “On the Obelisk. Tkey were Egyp- tian hieroglyphics.—N. Y.
