WOLF’S STORE. | On Sunday The snow had begun in the gloaming, | And busily all the night, 1 i Had been heaping field and highway With a silence deep and white.

They camp in Wolford’s gap and we have every reason to believe that many deer will be placed upon the pegs of this camp. | { visiting her sister, Mrs. C. C. Gilbert, of Experiments Have Amply Demon- strated That Employment of Pre- cious Metal Is Advisable. By some pretty experiments with or- gan pipes of different materials Dr. Dayton Clarence Miller, professor of physics in the Case School of Applied Science, Cleveland, O., has proved that the quality of tone in a wind instru ment depends upon its material far more than is generally believed. Writ- ing of flutes in his book, “The Sci- ence of Musical Sounds,” he says: “The traditional influence of dif- ferent metals on the flute tone are censistent with the experimental re- sults obtained from the organ pipe. Brass and German silver are usually hard, stiff and thick, and have but lit- tle influence upon the air column, and the tone is said to be hard and trum- pet-like. Silver is dense and softer, and adds to mellowness of the tone. The much greater softness and density of gold adds still more to the soft massiveness of the walls, giving an ef- fect like the organ pipe surrounded by water. Elaborate analyses of the tones from flutes of wood, glass, silver and gold prove that the tone from the gold flute is mellower and richer, having a longer and louder series of partials than flutes of other materials.” SEEK GOLD IN CEMETERY Murderer Believed to Have Hidden Large Sum in Burial Ground at Pomona, Cal. One morning recently there was found a hole in the ground under a gigantic sycamore tree in the east end of the Pomona (Cal.) cemetery. The incident reopens a mystery which puzzled the people of this community ten years ago and was never solved. The mystery seems deeper than ever. One morning about ten years ago the cemetery caretaker discovered that somebody had dug a hole five feet long and two feet deep under a huge limb of the sycamore. When the in- cident was investigated it was learned that a man who had just finished serving 30 years in the penitentiary had been seen strolling through the cemetery a few days earlier. His lils- tory was traced and it was learned that the ex-convict had served time for killing an old miner, from whom, it is alleged, he had stolen $50,000 in gold. The incident caused great excite- ment. During the next few weeks the cemetery was honeycombed with holes which were dug by treasure seekers. ——Put your ad. in the WATCHMAN. Why “Anuric’’ is an INSURANCE Against Sudden Death. Before an Insurance Company will take a risk on your life the examining physician will test the urine and report whether you are a good risk. hen your kidneys get sluggish and clog, you suffer from backache, sick-head- ache, dizzy spells, or the twinges and pains of lumbago, rheumatism and gout. The urine is often cloudy, full of sediment; channels often get sore and sleep is disturbed two or three times a night. This is the time you should consult some physician of wide experience—such as Dr. Pierce of the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y. Send him 10 cents for sample package of his new discovery, ® Anuric.” rite him your symptoms and send a sample of urine for test. Experience has taught Dr. Pierce that ®Anuric” is the most powerful agent in dissolving uric acid, as hot water melts sugar; besides being absolutely harmless it is endowed with other properties, for it Qroservas the kidneys in a healthy condition by thoroughly cleansing them, Being so many times more active than lithia, it clears the heart valves of any sandy substances which may clog them and checks the Qegsneriion of the blood - vessels, as well as - regulating blood pressure. ®Anuric” is a regular insurance and life-saver for all big meat eaters and those who deposit lime-salts in their joints. Ask the druggist for * Anuric” put up by Dr. Pierce, in 50-cent packages. STRENGTH AND BEAUTY Come with Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. This is a blood cleanser and alterative that starts the liver and stom- ach into vigorous action. It thus assists the body to manufacture rich red blood which feeds the heart, nerves, brain and organs of the body, The organs work smoothly like machinery running in oil. You feel clean, strong and strenuous in- . stead of tired. weak and faint: CHICKADEE Penethrestes atricapillus ——An American egg-preserving plant has been established in China and is handling 300,000 eggs daily. Length, about five and one-fourth inches. Range: Btates (except the southern half east of the plains), Canada, and Alaska. Resident in the United Habits and economic status: Be- cause of its delightful notes, its con- fiding ways, and its fearlessness, the chickadee is one of our best known birds. It responds to encouragement, and by hanging within its reach a constant supply of suet the chickadee can be made a regular visitor to the garden and orchard. Though insig- nificant in size, titmice are far from being so from the economic stand- point, owing to their numbers and ac- tivity. While one locality is being scrutinized for food by a larger bird, ten are being searched by the smaller species. The chickadee’s food is made up of insects and vegetable matter in the proportion of seven of the former to three of the latter. Moths and caterpillars are favorites and form about one-third of the whole. Beetles, ants, wasps, bugs, flies, grass- hoppers, and spiders make up the rest. The vegetable food is composed of seeds, largely those of pines, with a few of the poison ivy and some weeds. There are few more useful bfrds than the chickadees. ——They are all good enough, but the WATCHMAN is always the best. If you don’t find your happiness in your work you won’t find it. Elbert Hubbard. Medical. That Dull Aching Don’t worry and complain about a bad back. Get rid of it! For weak kidneys, lame and achy backs, your neighbors rec- commend Doan’s Kidney Pills. Read this statement; Mrs. C. Young, Potter St., Bellefonte, says: “For more than a year I suffered from a dull ache in the small of my back. It was sore and tender and if I bent over, I could hardly get up again. I never felt able to do any housework. I had a lan- guid feeling all the time and in the morn- ing, I didn’t feel like getting dressed. I was troubled a lot by dizzy spells and my kidney secretions were unnatural. Doan’s Kidney Pills had helped so many people around here that I procured some at Green’s Pharmacy Co. The first box cured me. It has been three years now since I have had any trouble from my back or kidneys. Pricet 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Young had. Foster —Milburn Co., Props. Buffalo, N. Y. 61-48 H. N. KOCH Funeral Director Successor to R. M. Gordner.

Catarrh is as much a blood disease as scrofula or rheutnatism. 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 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 Attorneys-at-Law. ee] KLINE WOODRING—Attorney-at-Law,Bell¢ fonte, Pa.
