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.
Prepared from nature's roots and
herbs, it contains no alcohol nor nar-
cotics, nor any harmful ingredient. In
either tablet or liquid form. Write

ousness, costiveness, and all derange-
ments of the liver, stomach and bowels
are prevented, relieved, cured.
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.” —

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. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffa-

The Youth’s Companion Calendar for
1917.
The publishers of the “Youth’s Com-
panion” are presenting, as always at
this season, to every subscriber whose
subscription is paid for 1917, a calen-
dar for the new year. It is decidedly
unusual, and strikingly artistic. The
colors are well chosen
blended. It was made primarily.
however, for actual use, and is well
named the Practical Home Calendar.
Hood’s Sarssparilla.
Scrofula and all
Humors Give Way
HOOD’S SARSAPARILLA, THE
GREAT PURIFIER, CLEANS-
ES THE BLOOD.
There are many things learned
from experience and observation that
the older generation <hould impress
upon the younger. Among then is
the fact that scrofula and other hu-
mors, which may be either inherited
or acquired, and which produce ecze-
ma, boils, pimples and other erup-
tions, can be most successfully treat-
ed with Hood’s Sarsaparilla.
This great medicine is a peculiai
combination of remarkably effective |
health-giving |
barks and herbs, which are |
blood-purifying and
roots,
gathered especially for it.
Just remember that this pure, safe
and effective remedy has been tested
for forty years.

YEAGER SHOE STORE
I have decided
to continue my
LOW PRICE SALE
on SHOES until
January 1st, 1917.
My business has more than tripled in the last month,
but this increase is not sufficient to justify me to con-
tinue to sell shoes on ten and fifteen cents per pair
profit. Five times is the
amount of increase I must
have, but I have faith in the people of this community
and know they will take advantage of my offer and
help me make the increase.
Remember I am selling shoes at One Dollar per
per pair less than any other store in Centre county.
Ladies’ 9-inch Lace Boots $3.25
same as other stores sell at $4.50.
Boy’s $3.50 Shoes
Shoes have advanced one
