According to a writer in a Chicago paper, a man who has motored from Maine to California says nothing on the whole astonished him so much as the number of aimless men. It was his habit to slide out of cities early in the morning to avoid traffic, but he was never too early to miss the men who idle away their days in the public parks and boulevards. And often he slipped into towns very late at night, but never too late to pass other loiterers of the same kind. Even in the parks of the cities, when papers are crammed with “ads,” “Help Wanted—Male,” these men are always to be seen. On cool days they lounge in the sun, on hot days they sleep on the grass in the shade. They never seem to have friends or want them. They walk aimlessly. They sit aimlessly. They look as if aimlessness had curs- ed them ever since they were able to toddle alone. And probably it has. Not much can be done to reform the habits of a man over thirty years of age. It is not likely that any of these men will ever have a well defined mo- tive in life. But the sight of them should be a warning to parents. Get your chil- dren to work towards an end. See that they are able to-define their ob- jects. ; Success is a habit formed early in life. He who is trained in this habit will never need to hunt a bed in a park.—Ex. Bachelors and Maids Given Home in Ada, Ohio. Kenton, Ohio, February—Letters have been received by Walter Sousley, wealthy bachelor and manager of a coal yard at Ada, Ohio, asking reser- vations in his proposed home for bachelors and old maids. Sousley proposes to establish such a home at Ada at a cost of about $150,000, to ac- commodate every homeless maid of years and matured unmarried gentle- men. Women in Japan are being em- ployed as dockers, and particularly so at the port of Tsuruga, a halfway point between America and Petro- grad. These women smoke and wres- tle with huge boxes and packages that often seem certain to overtax their strength. Much of the supplies for the Russian army pass through that port and are handled by women. — eMassachusetts has the great- est per centage, 47.6, of her roads sur- faced.

German silver is manufactured in three general ways, according to Pop- ular Science Monthly. It is composed of nickel, copper and zinc in varying proportions. The German method is to melt all the copper to be used in the mixture, and two-thirds of the nickel and zinc in a graphite crucible and then add the rest of the nickel and zinc. In the English method the copper, nickel and zinc are melted all at one time, then more copper and zine are added. Should the metal ap- pear porous, a fireclay pipe contain- ing pitch is pushed into the metal mix- ture to deoxidize it. There are sev- eral American methods. One is to melt a copper-nickel alloy and then grad- ually add the preheated zinc. In an- other method monel metal is used as a1 hase. Baseball Expert.

Good Reports Please Bellefonte There has never been anything with the QUICK results of pure La- voptik eye wash. One man’s eyes were so badly strained he could not read without pain. TWO applications of Lavoptik relieved him. A lady had tried three different glasses for weak, inflamed eyes. ONE Lavoptik wash surprised her. We guarantee a small bottle to benefit EVERY CASE weak, strained or inflamed eyes. Green’s Pharmacy Co., Bellefonte, Pa. 63-8 FEBRUARY TWENTY-SECOND. By Fannie Alricks Shugert. Once there was a little boy, By name G. Washington; He surely was his parents’ joy, Their precious darling son. He had a birthday once a year, As falls to each one’s lot; That he enjoyed it is very clear, For what healthy boy would not? And as the happy time drew near His mother gently said: “The day will soon be here my dear, And all my plans are laid. “For you something so good I'll bake, And a lovely, crisy pie, too. Oh, it will be a big plum cake; You love them, I know you do.” George rubbed his little, chubby hands: “Oh mother how good you are. Why mother dear, that will be grand; The best of all things by far. “And de put cherries in the pie, Juicy, rich, ripe and red. To patiently wait for the day I'll try; Yes, I truly will,” he said. Oh! that was all long, long ago; But we never forget the day That little George was born, and so Bright bunting we display. Immense Values in Opium. The immense values connected with the opium traffic, which result from present conditions and restrictions in that trade appear with great clear- ness in the contract for the opium monopoly of the small Portuguese colony of Macao, which was let on De- cember 3 for five years, beginning September 1, 1918, reports Consul General Anderson from Hongkong to the Department of Commerce. The conditions of the monopoly are exact- ly as at present, namely, the right to import 260 chests of opium for local consumption and 240 chests for ex- port. As a matter of fact, local con- sumption accounts for much less than the amount imported and the opium finds an outlet in other directions. The contract was let for the sum of $6,676,000 local currency (at present exchange, $4,673,200 gold) per year for five years, or $33,380,000 local cur- rency ($23,366,000 gold) in all. The next highest bid for the monopoly was also over $6,000,000 local curren- cy a year, while the lowest bid was $2,440,000 a year. The successful bidder is a syndicate known as the Tai Sing company, which is composed of Hongkong and Macao Chinese cap- italists. The contract for the pres- ent monopoly is at the rate of only $1,056,000 local currency a year. It is understood that the profits on this year’s (1917) working of the monop- oly run about 3,000 per cent., and the successful bid for the new monopoly is based upon the present contract’s profits. Chinese generally interested in the contract express great surprise at the size of the successful bid. The letting of the contract has been the subject of grave concern in Chinese business circles in Hongkong for some time. The successful bidder deposits at once one-third of the year’s payment on the contract. : Easily Arranged. “Do you ever quarrel with your wife?” : “Never,” replied Mr. Meekton. “If a difference of opinion arises, Henri- etta lectures and I am the audience.” —Washington Star. Medical. No Trouble Since MR. RINE’S STATEMENT IS MOST CONVINCING EVIDENCE. When Mr. Rine endorsed Doan’s Kidney Pills he told of having receiv- ed complete relief. Now Mr. Rine tells how years have passed without any return of kidney trouble. Re- sults that last are results that count. Bellefonte people should gain by the experience of James H. Rine, car- penter, of 239 High St., Bellefonte. He says: “My back was so weak I could hardly stoop to put on my shoes. I had severe pains through my limbs and could hardly drag myself around. Doan’s Kidney Pills, which I got at Green’s Pharmacy Co., cured me.” Over three years later Mr. Rine said: “I have had no occasion to use Doan’s Kidney Pills since they cured me. Price 60 cents at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that | Mr. Rine has twice publicly recom- mended. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs, Buffalo, N. Y. 63-8 Live Stock Feed From Fish. A factory has been started at Ymuiden, at the entrance to the North Sea Canal, for transmuting the least desirable fish and fish offal into a sat- isfactory food for swine, writes Con- sul Mahin from Amsterdam to the De- partment of Congress. This is con- sidered of double importance—it feeds the swine and also frees articles (maize, for example) usually fed to swine for other purposes, even for hu- man food. Spoiled fish have been fed to swine, but with bad effect on the taste of the pork. The new factory, it is stated, makes a “vischmeel” (literally, fish meal) from the material it uses, which product, analysis shows contains 55 per cent. albumen and 12 per cent. fat, and also realizes an oil that, after suitable purification, could be used in competition with cod-liver oil, or in any case could be very useful as an industrial oil. : It is suggested that besides feeding swine with this new product it be tried with cattle, as a possible aid in the serious situation which now exists in regard to feeding livestock. The new factory is considered of great importance in scientific circles, and hope is expressed that the gov- ernment as well as the general public will give it earnest support as a mat- ter of national concern. — A European record for the most heavily laden freight train was established by a Russian railroad when an American locomotive hauled a train 2,800 feet long with a load of 4,424 tons. / — Thousands of cords of wood, useful for fuel, are rotting on the for- est reservations of New York because the constitution forbids their sale or removal. mn Hood’s Sarsaparilla. . “Blood and Iron® A Combination that Makes for Bet- ter Health This Spring.
