He was filling his gasoline engine and carrying a lantern at the same. time with the result that the gasoline ig- nited and the tank exploded.

Fortunately it was a calm evening and the barn was saved.

Wayne was playing around the kitchen and in some way ran against the kettle and fell in. While his condition is not critical he is suffering great pain. Just about a year ago another of Mr. and Mrs. Mayes’ children was badly burned and now this second mishap surely entitles them to the sympathy of the community. AARONSBURG. E. E.

T0 FEED PENNSYLVANIA WITH PENNSYLVANIA CROPS Public Safety Food Department Starts “Home-Growing For Home Consumption” Campaign to Make Counties Self- Supporting in 1918 — Curb Market System Will Provide For Local Distribution. To feed Pennsylvania with Penn- sylvania crops is the purpose of a | campaign which has been undertaken by the Food Supply Department of the Pennsylvania Committee of Public | Safety. Every agricultural district in | the State has been asked to produce, in 1918, enough farm, garden, dairy and meat products, poultry, eggs and orchard fruit to feed itself. A food survey is now in progress | to determine the maximum home- growing capacity of each county. This | survey will show which counties are capable of feeding themselves and contributing to the food supply of | other neighboring counties. It will | also list the counties which are un- | able to raise sufficient food for home consumption. By stimulating the home-growing, | home-feeding movement, far-reaching | conservation of resources will follow. One benefit should be a big saving to | communities by the elimination of | costs in the handling and shipping of | farm produce and in incidental trans- portation and commissions. With the ! State curbmarket system in full swing | next season distribution of all local products will be comparatively easy. Food chairmen have been given an outline of the Committee’s plan which may save millions of dollars to con- sumers and at the same time make the State self-supporting in many food staples. Instructions to the chairmen | make this argument: “It is imperative that the food pro- duction of 1918 follow those definite lines which will enable us to help solve the world’s food crisis and win the war. This means a large depend- ence upon and use of farm and garden | produce with a saving of meats and staples. It means that each district must produce those supplies which it can consume, so that the movement of food may not interfere with the movement of troops and supplies and the cost of food may not include un- necessary freight, handling and com- mission charges. “The organization of food produc- | tion in various districts cannot be ae- complished by guess work. Every city and town in Pennsylvania is bringing in from a distance in unbelievable cuan- tities, food which should be produced nearby. Home-grown food is frequent- ly being shipped away at the same time that other supplies of food are being imported. “In order to plan intelligently for | the food supply for cities and towns in your district next year, you must have definite information covering the kind and quantity of food you are importing and which you should pro- duce largely, and also of the kinds and quantities which are wasting and because of which you need help to find an outlet. “The time to get this information is ' today, while the experience of the past harvest is fresh in your minds, so that the campaign for food production may be started well in advance of the planting season, and organizations for distributing may be prepared in ad- vance of the pressing problems which always accompany the marketing of | perishables. “1918 may be the cruciad year of the war. We dare not fail at this time. In years to come also the food prob- lems will be more acute than ever, so that our work at this time must be thorough and permanent.” OAK HALL.

Reaping Benefit FROM THE EXPERIENCE OF BELLEFONTE PEOPLE. We are fortunate indeed to be able to profit by the experience of our neighbors. The public utterances of Bellefone residents on the following subject will interest and benefit many of our readers. Read this statement. No better proof of merit can be had. Mrs. Katie Capani, 224 S. Alleghe- ny St., Bellefonte, says: For about a year I suffered almost constantly from pains in my back. I had sore- ness across my loins and the doctor told me my kidneys were not acting properly. The trouble affected my sight and I could hardly read. Doan’s Kidney Pills were brought to my at- tention and as I had heard that they had done a lot of good for others I got a box. The first few doses re- lieved me of the awful pain in my back and I continued until I was en- tirely relieved. I have taken several boxes of Doan’s since and they have Jerk my kidneys in good working or- er. _ Price 60 cents at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Capani had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N.

Many Rabbits Being Killed. Many rabbits were killed in Centre county last Thursday, the opening day of the season, and most every day since hunters have been seen with rabbits. In fact they have been found so plentiful that with a good rabbit dog they can be found in most any part of the county.~One of the nicest bunches seen so far was that secured by a party of western Penn- sylvania hunters last Thursday and Friday. They had eighteen all told. Quite a number of hunters secured a half dozen or thereabouts while a few secured the limit, ten in number. A few hunters report having seen one or two pheasants, but they are very scarce. A number of wild tur- keys were seen, but the season for them will not begin until November 15th. In the meantime those hunters who want the sport as well as the game will devote their attention to running down the rabbit. Interior Adornment. “What has become of my cherry cream ?” cried Mrs. Subbub. “Your cherry cream,” repeated the cook. “Yes, my complexion cream.” “I thought that was some fancy paste you got for the party last night so I spread it on the sandwiches.” Whether meat is bad for rheu- matism or not the meatless days ought to be introduced for the good they will do to the stomachs of the boys in the trenches. Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Cleans the Blood Tones the Nerves The gratifying results attending the faithful use of the new medicinal combination, Hood’s Sarsaparilla be- fore eating and Peptiron after eating, are seen in purer blood, stronger nerves, improved condition of the whole system. They are results that make this course of treatment the most econom- ical for sufferers from impure, im- poverished blood, weak, unsteady nerves—no other accomplishes so much for each cent expended. Hood’s Sarsaparilla and Peptiron aid each other, and to take both is to derive a four-fold benefit. If a laxative is needed in connec- tion with them, the gentle and thor- ough Hood’s Pills should be used. FINE JOB PRINTING o—A SPECIALTY—o0 AT THE WATCHMAN OFFICE.
