It was just about the break of day when Mrs. J. W. Kepler, of ibe St. Elmo, just across the way from the postoffice, saw some person attempt to get in through a window about ten feet from the ground. He was part way through the window when he evidently became frightened at something and backing out dropped to the ground and fled to the woods. Several parties got sight of the man but not enough to identify him. As it is, postmaster David Barr is well satisfied that the man didn’t get in and carry away all his stamps and money. A few evenings previ~us some person made an 2ttempt to gair. admittance to the A. G. Archey store on the corner but failed. WOLF’S STORE. Mrs. F. A. Esterline is ill with neural- gia.

It is the wish of the writer that both schools will have splendid success and in the coming year may gather many new members into their fold. Christmas Legends. All around the season of the Com- ing of Love as a little Child there have sprung legends and beliefs, like blossoms in a gracious clime, which testify with subtlety to the depth of the appeal of the birth of Christ. Here divinely spiritual symbolism and there sweet human tenderness and pathos appear, and, blended, they evi- dence the world’s belief that this was both Son of Man and Son of God. An Irish legend tells that, on Christmas eve, the Christ-Child wan- ders out in the darkness and cold, and the peasants still put lighted candles in their windows to guide the sacred little feet, that they may not stumble on their way to their homes. And in Hungary the people go yet further in their tenderness for the Child, they spread feasts and leave their doors open that He mzy enter at His will, while throughout Christendom there is a belief that no evil can touch any child who is born on Christmas eve. The legend whict tells how the very hay which lined the manger in which the Holy Babe was laid put forth liv- ing red blossoms at midwinter at the touch of the Babe’s body could only have arisen from belief in the renewal of life through the Lord of Life. No Inaugural Ball, But a Reception, Possibly. Robert N. Harper, 2a Washington bank president, has been selected as chairman of the committee to have charge of the ceremonies in Washing- ton next March incident to President Wilson’s second inauguration. _ As in the case of Mr. Wilson's first inauguration, there will be no inau- gural ball, but a reception or some so- cial affair may take its place. The ceremonies will include a parade. _ Four years ago the President rode in a carriage drawn by horses, but it is considered possible that at his sec- ond inauguration he will use an auto- mobile, thus establishing a precedent. For high class Job Work come to the “Watchman” Office. A PEACE PROPHECY. When men shall trust in God and not in fate, When love shall rise from out the grave of hate, When charity shall take the place of greed, When every man his neighbor's rights shall heed, When naught but honest labor wins the prize, When vice no more be clethed in virtue’s guise, When justice be obtained without deceit, When every race shall like as brothers meet, When Covet not becomes the law of man, When pity lifts up those beneath the ban, Then war and conflict shall forever cease, And once again resound the psaim of peace. Boston, Mass. By Antoinette Liuques. Farmers’ Week Program Features General Farm Topics. Two or more topics along the lines of general farming will be presented at each session of the annual Farm- ers’ Week to be held at The Pennsyl- vania State College from December 27 to January 3, inclusive. The subjects announced cover a broad field, and include soils, soil moisture, drainage, reclaiming waste land, cultivation, organic matter, fer- tilizer formulas, the use of iime and barn manure. The crops receiving at- tention are corn, wheat, potatoes, to- bacco, alfalfa, red clover, sweet clov- er, soy beans, Canada peas, and crops for the silo, including practice in corn judging. Other topics are: crop im- provement, plant breeding, treating corn and potatoes for diseases, the re- juvenation of meadows and pastures, farm management, profits and losses in farming, land tenure, markets and marketing, farm machinery, farm motors, power for the farm, farm en- gines and automobiles. Speakers on the Agronomy pro- gram include E. O. Anderson, . Andree, P. S. Baker, H. P. Cooper, W. H. Darst, F.D. Gardner, C.F. Noll, R. S. Smith, J. W. White, D.C. Wi- mer, and E. L. Worthon of the De- partment of Agronomy; Dr. William Frear, Head of Experimental Agri- cultural Chemistry; C. L. Goodling, Superintendent of Farms; W. I. Gor- ham, . K. Hibsham, Nicholas Schmitz, and F. P. Weaver of the De- partment of Agricultural Extension; Dr. C. W. Stoddard, Professor of Ag- ricultural Chemistry; Professors Kern and Orton of the Department of Botany; and C. G. Williams, of the Ohio Experiment Station. The great demand for information on farm tractors and gasoline engines has promted the farm mechanics di- vision of the department of agrenemy to offer a complete course on these subjects during Farmers’ Week. The course has heen especially. designed by R. A. Andree, in charge of the di- vision, to include the care and repair of gasoline engires and the operation and handling of the modern gas trac- tor. No efforts will be spared to make this course entively practical. Christmas Toys. In selecting toys for the children’s Christmas, remember they should be such as to suggest acuion, and bring the imagination into play, as it is the child who plays, not the toy, and im- agination is the soul of the play. The best toys are those which set the mind . 1 to work, and give the little brain scope for expansion. This is one of the strongest recommendations for the simpler toys. The wonderful me- chanical toys sold in the shops are coraplete in themselves, and leaves the child nothing to do but to wind them up and start them going. In this case, it is the toy that plays, not the child. Children soon weary of having noth- ing to do, and, losing interest in the monotonous repetitions, the little in- quisitive mind sets about investigat-. ing the internal mechanism, greatly to the damage of the toy, which is soon ruined and thrown away, while the child turns for amusement to the old toys that are so hopelessly un- done that everything they are sup- posed to do must come from the play- spirit in the child. ——They are all good enough, but the WATCHMAN is always the best. THE NEWEST RETEDLY FOR Backache, Rheumatism and Dropsy. Bladder and Uric Acid troubles bring misery to many. When the kidneys are weak or diseased, these natural filters do not cleanse the blood sufficiently, and the poisons are carried to all parts of the body. There follow depression, aches and pains, heaviness, drowsiness, irrita- bility, headaches, chiliiness ard rheu- matism. In some people there are sharp pains in the back and :oins, distressing ladder disorders and sometimes obstin- ate dropsy. The uric acid sometimes forms into gravel or kidney stones. When the uric acid affects the muscles and joints, it causes lumbago, rheumatism, gout or sciatica. This is the time to try “®Anuric.” During digestion uric acid is absorbed into the system from meat eaten, and even from some vegetables. The pool kidneys get tired and backache begins. This is a good time to take ©Anuric,” the new discovery of Dr. Pierce for Kid- ney trouble and Backache, Neglected kidney trouble is responsible for many deaths, and Insurance Company examin- ing doctors always test the water of an applicant before a policy will be issued. ave you ever set aside a bottle of water for twenty-four hours? A heavy sedi- ment or settling sometiraes indicates kid- ney trouble. The true nature and char- acter of diseases, especially those of the kidneys and urinary organs, can often be determined by a careful chemical an- alysis and microscopical examination— this is done by expert chemists of the Medical Staff of the Invalids’ Hotel. If you wish to know your condition send a sample of your water to Doctor Pierce’s Invalids’ Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y., and de- scribe your symptoms. It will be ex- amined without any expense to you, and Doctor Pierce or his Stail of Assisting Physicians will inform yon truthfully. Kidney, KNOW THYSELF !

Y. three dimes or thirty cents in one-cent stamps for a cloth-bound copy. Boston Brown Bread Recipe. Those who have an abundance of rye flour will find it useful in Boston hrown bread. The following recipe for this purpose is suggested by Miss Pearl MacDonald, in charge of home economics extension at The Penrcvl- vania State College school of agricul- ture and experiment station: Boston Brown Bread. 1 cup rye flour 1 cup granulated corn meal 1 cup Graham flour 13 teaspoons soda (level) 1 teaspoon salt 3 cup molasses 2 cups sour milk Mix and sift dry ingredients. Add molasses and milk, turn into well but- tered moulds, cover tightly with but- tered lids. Set moids cn a rack in a deep kettle. Surround with not water to half their depth, cover kettle and cook for three and one-half hours. Molds should never be filled more than two-thirds full. Baking powde™ cans are attractive for this purrose though a 5 pound lard pail will do. Raisins or currants make a pleas- ing addition. = The Manger. Tradition declares that within the stone manger, there was another one of wood, and that the stone cradle in the Chapel of the Nativity is, indeed, the outer manger. Splendid is that humble stone trough now with white marble, softly rich with costly dra- peries, and radiant with a silver star, which is surrounded by 16 lamps, ever a-lit. But yet more glorious is the wooden manger in Rome, held to be the veritable manger in which the Christ-child lay. It was removed to Rome in the seventh century, during the Mohammedan invasion of the Ho- ly Land, and there it is preserved in a strong brazen chest, from which it is brought forth on Christmas days, when it is placed on the Grand Altar. It is mounted upon a stand of silver, which is inlaid with gold and gems, and the shrine in which it rests is of purest rock crystal. In the days in which this was accomplished men whatsoever may hive been their shortcomings in other directions, gave magnificently to the Church Visible. 15,100,000 Entente Losses, Berlin Says. The total losses of the Entente in the present war have been 15,100,000. according to figures given out by the ‘Association for Research into the So- cial Consequences of the War, of Co- penhagen, as quoted in an Overseas News Agency statement. “Of this number,” says the News Agency summary of the report, “Great Britain has lost 1,200,090 men; Russia, 8,500,000; France, 3,700,000; Italy, 800,000; Serbia, 480,000; Bel- gium, 220,000 and Rumania, 200,000. Medical. Dangers of a Cold BELLEFONTE PEOPLE WILL DO WELL TO HEED THEM. Many bad cases of kidney trouble result from a colc or chill. Congested kidneys fall behind in filtering the poison-laden blood and backache, headache, dizziness and disordered kidney action follow. Dor’t neglect a cold. Use Doan’s Kidney Pills at the first sign of kidney trouble. Follow this Bellefonte resident’s example: Mrs. B. Holter, Pine St., Bellefonte, says: “I have used Doan’s Kidney Pills off and on for about two vears. Whenever a cold or strain causes a dull, constant ache across the small of my back, I use a box of Doan’s Kidney Pills and get relief. 1 believe I did not take Doan’s Kidney Pills long enough to be cured, but when I take them, a few doses always fix me up. Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Holter had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffale, N. Y. 61-50 H. N.

Hood’s Sarsparilla. Catarrh Leads to Consumption IT REQUIRES A BLOOD REMEDY— HOOD’S 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 Office: 51-1-1y. fonte, Pa, Practicesin all courts Room 18Crider’s Exchange. i S KLINE WOODRING—Attorney-at-Law,Belle B.
