Ridgway, Pa.—*“I have had a satis- factory experience with Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip- tion. Sometime ago I needed medi- cine for kidney _ trouble. I pro ‘cured ‘Favorite : Prescription’ and “used three bottles. It helped me won- PE derfully. It over- came the trouble and I grew better . every day. I had so much confidence in this remedy that I recommended it to my daughters. They used it with very marked benefit. We consider ‘Favorite Prescription’ a reliable and valuable remedy.”—MRSs. C. L. Woopwarp, N. Broad St. An affection confined to women must have its cause in the womanly nature. There is no doubt that a diseased con- dition of the delicate womanly organs, is in general responsible for feminine nervousness and an undermined con- stitution. For headache, backache, hot flashes, catarrhal condition, bearing-down sen- sation, mental depression, dizziness, fainting spells, lassitude and exhaus- tion women should never fail to take this tried and true woman’s medicine.

Woman Fixes Food Fixers. Pennsylvania By dressing in shabby clothes and buying cheap food in small quantities, Anna Chapliski, an agent of the State Dairy and Food Commission, has been able to bring about the conviction of nearly 200 storekeepers, who made tainted profits by selling diseased neat and other impure foodstuffs to the poor, says the Philadelphia North American. Miss Chapliski, during her two vears of service with the commission, has succeeded in getting evidence against violators of the food laws when men agents failed. She is a fair mark for his decepticn, the dealer thinks, because she dresses like the poorest and has every appearance of being a woman who is spending her last dime. She bought compounds of grease for lard; goat meat for mutton; milk well mixed with water; decayed beef, moldy biscuits and numberless other rotten food products. By playing the part herself, she has permitted the unscrupulous dealer to dupe her just as he does his poorest customers, and later he learns to his regret that the shabby little woman who asked for half a pound of the cheapest kinil of butter was in reality a State agent. Anna Chapliski learned long ago that adulterated food is sold to peo- ple who buy in the smallest quanti- ties. The cheaper the food the more adulteration. She also found out that men making purchases are seldom made the victim of the storekeeper’s trickery. Every day, with a market basket on her arm, Miss Chapliski makes a round of stores. When she has the basket full of assorted groceries and meats, she does not go home, but takes her purchases to Chemist La- Wall, who makes analyses for the State Dairy and Food Department. Prosecutions are then brought against any of the dealers who sold focd that was not up to the legal requirements. ‘The vast difference that clothes make in the personal appearance was brought out sharply in court recently, when one of the dealers testified that he had never seen Agent Chapliski before and swore that he had never sold her anything. He was found guilty, and although he paid a fine of $50, Miss Chapliski bought another sample of food in his store three weeks later and secured a second con- viction. The shabby clothes are an effective disguise. ——“The pen is mightier than the sword!” remarked the earnest citizen. “That used to be the case,” replied Mr. Chuggins, as he wiped his hands on his hip pockets; “but what counts now isa monkey-wrench or a pair of pliers.” — Washington Star. ——Put your ad. in the WATCHMAN. ——] Medical. A Woman's Back i THE ADVICE OF THIS BELLE- FONTE WOMAN IS OF CERTAIN VALUE. Many a woman's back has many aches and pains. Ofttimes ’tis the kidney’s fault. That's why Doan’s Kidney Pills are so effective. Many Bellefonte women know this. Read what one has to say about it: Mrs. J. T. Gordon, 130 E. Beaver St, Bellefonte, says: “I sufiered from back- ache and dull, constant ache across my loins. I was in misery at times and in the morning was sore and lame. I dreaded to begin my housework. Doan’s Kidney Pills, procured at Parrish’s Drug Store, made my kidneys normal and re- lieved the backache. I have had no return of the trouble.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t sim- ply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills-—the same that Mrs. Gordon had.
