Bemorai atch Bellefonte, Pa., January 26, 1917. County Correspondence Items of Interest Dished Up for the Delec tation of ‘‘Watchman’’ Readers by a Corps of .Gifted Correspondents. PLEASANT GAP ITEMS. Mr. Herron, one of the principal officials of the Penitentiary, has mov- er into the Thos. Jodon residence at this place. Wm. Baumgardner, who recently underwent a serious operation in a Philadelphia hospital, has sufficiently recovered to be able to resume his daily trips to the postoffice. Saturday was his first day outside the gates of his residence since his return from the hospital. The residence of Mrs. John Herman experienced a slight blaze on Friday morning last, the roof catching fire supposedly from a spark from the furnace. William Kerstetter headed a bucket brigade and speedily extin- guished the flames. The Pleasant Gap Fire Company arrived at the scene, but owing to the speedy action of the bucket brigade, their services will not exceed $15.00. Mr. Dunzig, of Switzerland, has opened a new grocery store, so that we now have three stores on a front- age of 300 feet, which is uncomfort- ably close to insure harmony. Mr. Dunzig evidently thinks there is something radically wrong with the rooster who can crow on his own perch. It is to be hoped that the new accession will have a tendency to solve the preplexing problem of the high cost of living. Butcher John Eckel is evidently not a quitter. He housed forty-two loads of ice in his ice house at his slaugh- ter plant. Clayton Gettig expects to occupy the meat market now operated by Eckel, he being the owner of the premises and a butcher by profession has concluded to embark in the busi- ness on his own account. It was at first supposed that Mr. Eckel would engage in business in Bellefonte, but from current rumors and present indi- cations we will be favored with two meat markets after April 1st. Pleasant Gap, for the size of its population from youth to old age, can I think boast of having as many fish- ermen as any village in the State, be- ing located in close proximity to so many streams abounding with trout and other species of the fish family. Green Valley, McBride’s Gap and even our small stream emanating from a number of springs up in the moun- toin coursing down to the Gap, still produce some fairly good catches. Then as our town is located at the head of Logan Branch and in close proximity to the fish hatchery and with Spring Creek only two and a half miles away, this causes about half of our people to go fishing in fishing sea- son whenever they can find a day off to enjoy the sport. I find all the fol- lowers of Isaak Walton hereabout to be emphatically opposed to the pro- posed fishermen’s license. They say it is injudicious, uncalled for and a direct stab at the poor man, and al- lege that no genuine sportsman would be guilty of advocating such a meas- ure. Pleasant ‘Gap schools are in a de- plorable predicament, hence the air is becoming sulphurous from the una¢ vailable efforts of our citizens in se- curing sufficient school room to house their children comfortably. The old school board before the last election of directors secured plans and specifi- cations from the department at Har- risburg for the erection of a suitable school building as prescribed by law, to accomodate the growing demand of our population with a view of erect- ing the same forthwith. = The new board failed to prosecute the much needed enterprise, and as we practi- cally need two more school rooms than we now possess, the congestion is not only unbearable but unsanitary as well. Our High school now occu- pies the hall above Noll’s store, a place in no way desirable or intended for school purposes, while the other three schools are crowded to overflow- ing. The Horntown school has fifty- two pupils, an imposition on the teacher, pupils and parents. Section 618 of the new school code says: “Every school room shall have not less than fifteen square “feet floor space and not less than 200 feet of air space per pupil.” Perhaps it might be advisable for the board to measure up. The children should have all the room they need, for they are legally and morally entitled to it. They are the ones who are tc constitute the next generation, and if we make their lives as happy as possible, they will see to it that their children are made even happier; for kindness is progres- sive and is constantly increasing its circle of influence as time goes on. If the situation, as it actually is, would be reported to the State Super- intendent of Schools there would be something doing. J General Manager J. S. Artz, since becoming “monarch of all he surveys” at the Pleasant Gap knitting mills, had his first unpleasant experience on the day our patriotic soldiers returned from the border, since it is a fact that men wearing brass buttons usual- ly cause women to lose their heads. It happened that the mill was quite busy filling advance orders on the day in question, notwithstanding the girls probably not realizing the importance of working full time, determined to suspend operations and go to Belle- fonte to greet the frontier boys on their arrival. The manager protested but all of no avail, for visions of par- ticipating on this glorious occasion caused them to want to go and go they did. The girls, arrayed in their best clothing, proceeded to Bellefonte on the cars in a.bedy, and the hosiery business was at a stand still. Accord- ing to their own words they enjoyed the festivities immensely, but on the following morning the boss had his inning. When the girls were about to resume their places at their machines, he called a halt and all were suspend- ed except eight looper girls until the following Monday fer disobedience. The work of the loopers was almost indespensible at this time, hence they had the advantage in not being humil- iated as were the others. Some little ill feeling was engendered by the va- cationists, they claiming that they were discriminated against, and some even hinted of not going back. But after due consideration the strike idea was abandoned and all resumed their places at their machines on Monday morning last, and the good work goes on and harmony prevails, while all, including the general manager, seem as happy as of yore.

Pneumonia is congestion affecting the body by obstruction of every emunctory organ, and the unerring method of relief to the congestion, so frequently proving fatal, generally considered as wholly in the lungs, de- pends upon relief to each of the oth- er three eliminative processes, the bowels, the kidneys, the sweat-glands, as well and as soon as the lungs. This, properly understood and under- standingly applied, will obviate 90 per cent. of the deaths from pneumo- nia. The exact procedure is, if the stom- ach is full of undigested food, an emetic of onion syrup, ipecac, or mus- tard and warm water. If no food has been recently taken, three to five ta- blespoonfuls of castor oil for anyone above three years of age, should be administrated, and immediately fol- lowed with the application of a com- press made by folding a large linen tablecloth to cover the throat, apex of the lungs, and chest well down on the sides and on the base of the lungs. Then place five or seven glass quart bottles or fruit jars, filled with boil- ing water, along each side and at the feet of the patient, who, of course, must be in bed. Each bottle should be wrapped so it cannot burn the pa- tient. Several extra quilts or blan- kets must be placed over the patient and brought up close about the neck. Saturate the tablecloth with cold wa- ter as it comes from the hydrant, al- lowing it to retain as much water as possible. Fit the wet compress closely on the surface as above:ex- plained. Give the patient all the hot lemonade, without sugar, that he can drink. Turn out all heat from the room and open the windows, lowering the temperature to 35 or 40 degrees if possible, but see that no draft reaches the patient and that the pa- tient does not get even a hand out from under the cover. All this should not require more than ten minutes. In less than anoth- er ten minutes the patient will begin to feel relief. From this time there is little necessity for uneasiness on the part of the attendant, and none for haste, for gradual relief, following this procedure, has never failed. Now have a bed-pan’ warming and ready for use, and, being careful to not expose the patient, reach under the covers now and then and massage and agitate the whole abdomen, to as- sist the oil in its passage through the bowels and to hasten the bowel action, which will not only relieve the anxious watchers, for the feverish condition will decrease rapidly. The patient should begin to sweat as soon as the hot drink and the com- press are applied. Sweating should continue for two and one-half hours, then remove enough of the covers to allow comfort and no more sweating. Sponge the body with half-and-half water and alcohol (warm,) under cov- er. Leave the cold compress on the chest for six or eight hours, or until morning. Upon removing the com- press bathe the surface with cool wa- ter, half alcohol. Upon the first action of the bowel induced by the oil, greater relief and more rapid recovery will take place if a heaping tablespoonful of epsom salts dissolved in a full glass of hot water is drank as hot as convenient, and directly upon that, another glass- ful of hot water with a half-teaspoon- ful of table salt dissolved in it. These two glassfuls of water thus taken will serve as a flush to the feverish bowel and will carry off the residue of the putrid fever-producing mass that has been rooted up by the oil, and if giv- en at the proper time (immediately upon the first bowel action) will prove a cleansing of the sewers so frequent- ly neglected until it is too late. Absolutely no food should be given for 24 hours, then lemon, orange or pineapple juice, a wine-glassful in an equal quantity of water with no sugar, four hours between feedings. The second day the juice of an orange in the morning, but nothing else; at noon, a small saucer of stewed onions, with very little salt in the cooking and no dressing except a bit of but- ter. For 6 o'clock dinner a teacupful of finely-grated carrot upon five or six nice large lettuce leaves, both un- cooked, dressed with a little olive oil. Avoid tea, coffee and all other bever- ages up to this time. Use nothing, except as here directed, until the third day, then gradually resume the regu- lar diet. May drink two or three swallows of cool water as often as de- Medical. No Reason For It WHEN BELLEFONTE CITIZENS SHOW A WAY. There can be no reason why any reader of this who suffers the tor- tures of an aching back, the annoy- ance of urinary disorders, the pains and dangers of kidney ills will fail to heed the words of a neighbor who has found relief. Read what a Belle- fonte citizen says: Mrs. Sara Miller, 210 E. Howard St., Bellefonte, says: “The first I noticed my kidneys were weak was when I began to have headaches and dizzy spells and spots floated before my eyes. I also had pains in my back and there was a dull ache across my loins. I couldn’t do any lifting and if I sat down, I could hardly get up without help. I also had rheumatic twinges. After I had taken two boxes of Doan’s Kidney Pills, the rheumatic pains disappeared and I was relieved of the other troubles. I have had very little trouble since.” Price 50c, at all dealers.

There are many who were saved who will testify to the efficacy of this treatment, but none can testify to the knowledge of a failure whether in cases of children from the age of two months that had been given up with double lobar pneumonia, or up to the age of 74 years with alcoholic pneu- monia.

While the production of eggs dur- ing the fall and winter when high prices prevail is the result of proper breeding, hatching, rearing and care, proper winter feeding will always tend to stimulate egg production at that season. One reason why hens lay well in spring and summer is that they are able to obtain animal protein in the form of bugs and worms. During fall and winter, therefore, the poultry feeder should attempt to imitate sum- mer feed conditions. The commercial poultryman. supplies animal protein by feeding beef scraps, but the farmer often fails to provide this feed. Skimmilk, preferably sour, is a most excellent substitute for beef scrap and will give good returns when fed to laying hens. Numerous experi- ments have shown that laying hens fed skimmilk wili double in egg pro- duction of similar hens fed no form of animal protein. According to F. D. Crooks, of the Pennsylvania State College school of agriculture and experiment station, Had Terrible Pains in Kidneys and Back. Dear Mr. Editor—I want to write you about * Anuric.” I was very sick, could hardly be up; I was in bed most of the time. Had terrible pains in my kidneys and back, so much so that I had to scream sometimes when I was sitting down and wanted to get up, the pain was so great. I had tried a well-known kidney medicine but it didn’t help me. I heard of Dr. Pierce’s Anuric Tablets so I thought I would try them. I took only one box of the Tablets, and my back is now free from pain and I can work and take care of my family. I feel I cannot say enough for this medi- cine. Sincerely, Mrs. WM. KELLER. Nore: This “Anuric” is adapted especially for kidney complaints and diseases arising from disorders of the kidneys and bladder, such as backache, weak back, rheumatism, dropsy, con- gestion of the kidneys, inflammation of the bladder, scalding urine and urinary troubles. The physicians and ialists at Dr. Pierce’s great Institu- tion, at Buffalo, N. Y., have thoroughly tested this prescription and have been with one accord successful in eradicat- ing these troubles, and in most cases absolutely curing the diseased kidneys. Patients having once used *Anuric” at Dr. Pierce’s Invalids’ Hotel, have re- Peston) sent back for more. Such a emand has been created that Dr. Pierce has decided to put * Anuric” in the drug stores of this country, in a ready-to-use form. If not obtainable send one dime by mail to Dr. Pierce for trial package or 50 cents for full treatment.

Severe Rheumatic Pains Disappear Rheumatism depends upon an acid which flows in the blood, affecting the muscles and joints, producing inflamma- tion, stiffness and pain. This acid gets in- to the blood through some defect in the digestive processes, and remains there be- cause the liver, kidneys and skin are too torpid to carry it off. Hood’s Sarsaparilla, the old-time blood tonic, is very successful in the treatment of rheumatism. It acts directly, with purifying effect, on the blood, and through the blood on the liver, kidneys and skin, which it stimulates, and at the same time it improves the digestion.
