Reish and brother Joel have just completed lumbering off the Hen- ry Garrett timber tract, and will im- mediately move their mill on the re- cently purchased W. F. Stover tract north of tewn. The deer woods are richly adorned with hunting camps. Apparently all are meeting with some degree of suc- cess, the Rebersburg camp being for- tunate in having four fine deer and a large bear on the pegs. The G. B. Stover house at Livonia seems to be an ideal mecca for hunt- ers, for both large and small game. Any one wishing to enjoy a fine hunt- ing trip can find no better stopping place than with George, for he fur- nishes his men with fine lodging and meals, such as only expert cooks know how to prepare. To show that these are appreciated, covers are at present being laid for thirty-five lov- ers of the sport. The Three Cent Stamp.

A sec- ond lieutenant receives yearly $1,700; a first, $2,000. Captains, majors, lieutenant colonels, and colonels draw respectively, $2,400, $3,000, $3,500 and $4,000. This is the initial or base pay; itis increased ten per cent. for every five years of service, up to 40 per cent.; this increase is known in the army as a “fogy.” Lieutenant colonels and colonels, how- ever, stop at $4,500 and $5,000, re- spectively. The pay of a brigadier is $6,000, that of a major general, $8,000 respectively. Generals get no “fogys.” Officers receive besides quarters, fuel and light. The pay of enlisted men depends on their grades, rating, and length of service; it is too complicated to set out at length here. A private, however, gets a base pay of $15 a month; a corporal $21 or $24, a sergeant $30 or $36; first sergeants, $45—all with increases for length of service. In addition be it said, all non-commissioned officers and men draw clothing, and of course are fed. These rates have been materially in- creased during the present emergen- cy. “Commencing June 1, 1917, and continuing until the termination of the emergency, all enlisted men of the Army of the United States in active service whose base pay does not ex- ceed $21 per month shall receive an increase of $15 .per month; those whose base pay is $24, an increase of $12 per month; those whose base pay is $30, $36 or $40, an increase of $8 per month, and those whose base pay is $45 or more, an increase of $6 per month.”—Col. C. DeW. Wilcox, in Harper’s Magazine. Doc’s Good Advice. A friend of ours comes into the of- fice to tell us about a friend of his who was walking dawn the street the other day and met his old physician, whom he had not seen for some time. “Well, well!” exclaimed the medical man, shaking hands warmly with his erstwhile patient. “You are quite a stranger! And how well you are look- ing. You must have taken my advice to have a change.” . “I did,” said the patient. ‘1 thought so. And where did you 0? “To another Plain Dealer. doctor.”—Cleveland An Opportunity. “Do you think Biggins wants to fight for his country?” “Undoubtedly. He never missed any other chance to fight. He now has the opportunity of his life to put a belligerent disposition to a goed ac- count.’—Washington Stas. Pennsylvania Women Pledged, Reports coming to the Pennsylva- nia Committee of Public Safety from the food administration show that more than 100,000 Pennsylvania wom- en have pledged theriselves during the past few weeks to aid in the con- servation of food. This brings the to- tal past 800,000, and it is almost cer- tain that the million mark will be ex- ceeded. Those who have the pledge card campaign in charge say that the great need of food in France is one of the dominant reasons given by the women of Pennsylvania for assisting Mr. Hoover. There is a real desire to make sacrifices, if necessary, in order that France shall not go hungry. The demand that war is making up- on the resources of the sister Repub- lic is pathetically shown in statistics just received by the committee of Public Safety. In 1913, the year before this great conflict opened, France produced 146,- 000,000 bushels of wheat. In 1914 this had dropped to 128,000,000 bush- els. In 1915 only 101,000,000 bushels could be raised, and in 1916 the out- put was 97,000,000 bushels. This year the production of wheat was pit- ifully small; only 66,000,000 bushels. France has sent word that if the United States can spare her an addi- tional 66,000,000 bushels she will somehow manage to get through the year. It is to this end that the women of Pennsylvania are cutting down in the use of wheat flour and are avoiding all waste. High Prices of Long ago. High as prices are, it may be some consolation to know that they are still below the Civil war records: Sugar then sold for $58 a barrel, rice at $31.- 38 a barrel, tobacco at more than dou- 8 Medical. Don’t Take a Chance BELLEFONTE PEOPLE SHOULD ACT IN TIME. If you suffer from backache; If you have headaches, dizzy spells; If there are signs of bladder weak- ness; Don’t delay—likely your kidneys are sick. Bellefonte people recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills. Here’s a Bellefonte woman’s ex- perience: Mrs. Sara Miller, 210 E. Howard St., 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. also had pains in my back and there was a dull ache across my loins. I couldn’t do any lifting and when 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 dis- appeared and I was relieved of the other troubles. I have had very little kidney trouble since. _ Price 60 cents at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Miller had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y. . 62-49 1 ble the present price, and tea at over $100 for a 25-pound chest as compar- ed with the present price of about $20. Coffee was then four times as high as it is at present. If the difficulty in getting hold of sugar makes the American people realize that we are at war, and inspires in them a willing- ness to follow Mr. Hoover's sugges- tions as to economizing in the use of certain foods, it will have accomplish- ed some good. While complaining of food scarcity, it is well for our people to know how little food others have. The German ration contains .41 of a pound of body-building protein as compared with 1.08 in the standard ration. The German ration is not suf- ficient to maintain bodily health and vigor, but the civil population in the occupied districts of France and Bel- gium have to exist on even less than this.—Leslie’s.

These two medicines working together often give a four-fold benefit. 62-49 FINE JOB PRINTING o—A SPECIALTY—o0 AT THE WATCHMAN OFFICE.
