gar forms bubbles at the back of

this. Then work the sugar against
the sides of the pan until it is nearly
cold, and dip the chestnuts again.
Place on racks and let them dry.
When boiling the syrup remove the
granulations which form at the sides
of the pan with a wet brush and skim,
and some people add a pinch of cream
of tartar to stop the sugar from gran-
ulating. If you have a sugar ther-
mometer, the syrup should register

foget to put the thermometer into
hot water before placing it in the
sugar. Marrons glaces are tiresome
things to make, and need practice.

Most Eminent Medical
Authorities Endorse It.
Dr. Eberle and Dr. Braithwaite as
well as Dr. Simon — all distinguished
authors—agree that whatever may be
the disease, the urine seldom fails in
furnishing us with a clue to the princi-
ples upon which it is to be treated,
and accurate knowledge concerning the
nature of disease can thus be obtained.
If backache, scalding urine or frequent
urination bother or distress you, or if
uric acid in the blood bas caused rheu-
matism, gout or sciatica or you suspect
kidney or bladder trouble just write Dr.
Pierce at the Surgical Institute, Buffalo,
N.Y.; send a sample of urine and de-
scribe symptoms. You will receive free
medical advice after Dr.Pierce’s chemist
has examined the urine — this will be
carefully done without charge, and you
will be under no obligation. Dr. Pierce
during many Joana of experimentation
has discovered a new remedy which he
finds is thirty-seven times more power=
ful than lithia in removing uric acid
from the system. If you are suffering
from backache or the pains of rheuma-
tism, go to your best druggist and ask
for a 50-cent box of ‘‘Anuric’’ put up
by Dr. Pierce. Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription for weak women and Dr.
Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery for
the blood have been favorably known
for the past forty years and more. The
are standard remedies to-day—as well
as Doctor Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets for
the liver and bowels. You can get a
sample of any one of these remedies
by writing Dr. Pierce.
Doctor Pierce’s Pellets are unequaled

autumn of the year in praise and
thanksgiving to Almighty God
for His many blessirgs and mer-
cies to us and the nation.
The year that has elapsed since
we last observed our day of
Thanksgiving has been rich in
blessings to us as a people, but
the whole face of the world has
been darkened by war. In the
midst of our peace and happiness,
our thoughts dwell with painful
disquiet apon the struggles and
sufferings of the nations at war
and of the peoples upen whom
war has brought disaster without
choice or possibility ¢f escape on
their part. We cannot think of
our own happiness without think-
ing of their pitiful distress.
Now, therefore, I, Woodrow
Wilson, President of the United
States of America, do appoint
Thursday, the thirtieth of No-
vember, as a day of national
thanksgiving and prayer, and
urge and advise the people to re-
sort to their several places of
worship on that day to render
thanks to Almighty God for the
blessings of peace and unbroken
prosperity which He has bestow-
ed upon our beloved country in
such unstinted measure.
And I also urge and suggest
our duty, in this our day of peace
and abundance to think in deep
sympathy of the stricken peoples
of the world upon whom the
curse and terror of war has so
pitilessly fallen and to contribute
out of our abundant means to the
relief of their sufferings.
Our people could in no better
way show their real attitude to-
ward the present struggle of the
nations than by contributing out
of their abundance to the relief of
the suffering which war has
brought in its train.
His Predicament.
“Sorry, but I can’t cash this check
unless you get some friend to identi-
fy you.”
“Oh, I say, have a heart, old chap!
The check is for only ten dollars, and
I haven’t got a friend in the world that
1 don’t owe more than that.”—New

Good News
MANY BELLEFONTE READERS
HAVE HEARD IT AND PROF-
ITED THEREBY.
“Good news travels fast,” and the
many bad back sufferers in Bellefonte
are glad to learn where relief may be
found. Many a lame, weak and ach-
ing back is bad no mcre, thanks to
Doan’s Kidney Pills. Our citizens are
telling the good news of their exper-
jence with “his tested remedy. Here
is an example worth reading:
Mrs. Pohn Mignot, E. High St,
Bellefonte, says: “I suffered from a
dull ache across the small of my back
for several weeks. At times, when I
bent over or lifted anything, a sharp
pain shot through my back. I had
heard of Doan’s Kidney Pills and I
knew that they were good, so I hegan
taking them, procuring my supply at
Parrish’s Drug Store. They cured
me.”

Hood's Sarsaparilla.
Catarrh Leads to
Consumption
IT REQUIRES A BLOOD REMEDY—
HOODS SARSAPARILLA IS THE
BEST.
Catarrh is as much a blood disease as
scrofula or rheumatism. It may be re-
lieved, but it cannot be removed by sim-
ply local treatment. It causes headache
and dizziness, impairs the taste, smell
and hearing, and affects the voice, hurts
the stomach, deranges the digestion, and
breaks down the general health, One of
its worst effects is the weakening of the
delicate lung tissues, which leads to con-
sumption.
Old reliable Hood's Sarsaparilla is
found to be of great service in the treat-
ment of catarrh. It goes to the seat of
the trouble, purifies the blood, and is so
successful that it is known as the best
remedy for this common dissease.
Hood’s Sarsaparilla strengthens and
tones the whole system. It builds up.
Ask your druggist for Hood's, and get it
today. 61-44

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
