. Bruin Bellefonte, Pa., April 5, 1918. Re — | | i How German Captain Gave Von Pa- | 1 pen Away. Just when the United States De- | partment of Justice needed a little | more information to definitely con-| nect Von Papen with the passport | frauds, a German officer named Wolf- | ram von Knorr, a captain in the Ger- man navy, and formerly Naval At- tache of the Imperial German Embas- sy to Tokio, stepped onto the scene. The World’s Work for March told the story. Ruroede, the German who had been far some time in charge of securing illegal passports for the use of German reserve officers caught in this country by the outbreak of the war, had just been taken into custody by the Department of Justice. Spe- cial agents of the Department were still in his office when von Knorr en- tered. He asked for Ruroede, and the special agent who was seated at Ru- roede’s desk said that Ruroede was out, but that he was Ruroede’s son, and might be able to be of some as- sistance. Von Knorr asked when Ru- roede would return, and the special agent answered that he might be in at any time. Von Knorr decided to wait. The agent, busying himself at the desk, finally told Von Knorr that it might be that the elder Ruroede would be delayed, and that if Captain Von Knorr did not object, the two of them could go to the office at which the el- der Ruroede was. Von Knorr did not object, and the special agent took him to the office of the Department of Jus- tice, where, excusing himself for a minute, the agent arranged wit another employee of the Department to pose as Ruroede. Thereupon “Ru- roede” and the German captain had a long talk, during which Von Knorr slapped “Ruroede” on the chest, tell- ing him that “that chest ought to have something,” meaning a decora- tion from Berlin. Having learned from Von Knorr enough, together with what was al- ready known, to prove that Von Papen was a party to the passport frauds, Von Knorr was allowed to depart without having learned that he had spent half an hour in the office of the Bureau of Investigation talking to a representative of the United States Department of Justice, and without knowing that he had given away the necessary information that proved conclusively that Von Papen was a party to unneutral acts against the United States. An amusing find among Ru- roede’s papers was a typewritten sheet of instructions to German re- serve officers traveling on false pass- ports. A translation is as follows: 1. On no condition and in no way whatever must anything be let out in regard to the conditions under which the voyage was affected. 2. During the passage one should keep aloof from other passengers and make no acquaintances on board. 3. Deportment on board, during the trip, should, as far as it is at all pos- sible, be in harmony with the partic- ular characteristics described in the passport. 4. Should any questions be asked, answer with reserve, and moreover, it is fitting to make use, as far as prac- ticable, of the need created by sea- sickness for remaining in seclusion. 5. Finally, everything will depend on the maintenance, in every respect, of absolute reticence. All incitements to political or similar discussions of the war or of soldiers and their obli- gations must be absolutely avoided. 6. It should by no means be under- stood that on landing one should tell everybody everything that happened; on the contrary, then too is silence absolutely necessary, lest through too much talking it become impossible for others to likewise get to the other side. 7. Briefly, the watchword, always and at all times, is “Silence.” How to Hinder Hindenburg. If Bill, the coach, said “Boys, pitch in and show some class. We've got to win. We need the hurdles for a start- er, then we've got to take the quar- ter, the 100-dash, the half-mile run, the relays and before we've done— say, this will make you fellows hump — we've got to cop the running jump, the shot-put—it’ll be a cinch—but grab the pole-vault in a pinch. If you buck-up and pull this stunt the other schools aint in the hunt.” If Bill said that and put it up to you to win the champion cup, right away you know you'd hop to put the old school flag on top. And when you placed it thexe you'd howl and dance and celebrate and howl. But, now, another game in life demands more pep than High school strife. The biggest game of all is on, and you must help to get it won. Bill the Kink, of old Berlin,— the guy whose mustache makes you grin—Old Kaiser Bill has gone to bat. He hopes to give the earth a swat. Your Uncle Sam is in the box. He's out to give Old Bill his knocks. And you are needed on the team. They want you there to help put steam in Uncle Sammy’s pitching arm. You play in center field—the “Farm” is what those funny baseball scribes call “center” in their diatribes. The Farm is calling for your muscle, there is a red-hot need for hustle to make things grow in bigger lots. We must feed- up to knock the spots off Hindenburg and Bill the Great. So grab a hoe, give Bill the gate, or take a turn be- hind the plough and demonstrate to Hindy how the trench to beat the Ger- man burrow will be the old potato furrow. Gee! boys get out and till the land, know God's green fields. There's something grand about the soil, about the manly, homely toil that makes the fertile earth produce. You're needed, you can be of use; your duty not to shoulder arms— your bit is SAVE THE WORLD ON FARMS. Solving the World’s Problem. Professor—“Pat, what is your so- lution to the world problem ?” Pat—“Well, sor, I think we should have a world democracy—with an Irishman for king!” FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.

Remember, a cheap article is never a bargain. On the other hand, it is an extravagance, for the reason that everything bought under price is not up to the standard and will not give reasonable service in any way. “This is a silk lined age,” and “we simply must keep abreast of the times,” are samples of the remarks one hears on every side, yet it requires no broad stretch of imagination to convince one that silk stockings or silken lingerie cannot be purchased on a $10 or $12 a week salary. However, there are many worth- while substitutes on the market quite in keeping with such modest incomes, and the really to-be-admired girl is she who, if her salary is not over gen- erous, contents herself with these ar- ticles. Dressing, or trying to dress beyond her means spells unhappiness and dis- appointment tempts it. In many instances such young women make purchases on credit, thus contracting bills quite im- possible to settle. The new blouses are closed in a number of fashions and many of them are ingeniously contrived so that the deep collar at the back need not be disturbed. One model is made with a deep enough V-shaped opening at the front so that it slips over the head— if the head is not too large. This blouse, therefore, has no visible means of closing—or opening. And it is very pretty and the full front falls in unbroken folds and the deep collar of the back is uninterrupted. And if one puts this blouse on care- fully, pulling it smoothly over the hair, it is all very well. A newer method of getting around the difficulty of the deep collar in the back or the collar across the back, which marks so many of the new blouses, and the desire for the un- broken front, is to slit up the back from the waistline for a few inches— say five or six. The matter of pulling the blouse over the head is then much simplified, and the results gained are about the same. Moreover, the little buttoned opening at the bottom of the back of the blouse, is, if anything, of decora- tive value. Fetching Frills—House gowns are once more kimono fashioned. Lavender of all tones is very much in evidence. The silhouette may be either straight or draped. Nothing is better for a dinner dress than black satin. No draperies are seen on the newest Paris creations. A pretty girdle is very wide and buttoned under the arm. Narrow tiebelts are a pretty way of defining the waist line. If the boards of your floor are ill- fitting they can appear to be tightly joined by boiling into a paste one-half pound of flour, six pints of water and one-half pound of alum. Tear news- papers into small pieces and stir in enough to make your paste as stiff as putty, press into all the seams and stain it at the same time that you do your boards. It will take the color so perfectly even a shrewd observer will not detect the difference between the boards and the papier mache. Headaches have many perfectly good (or rather bad) reasons for be- ing, and the first and foremost cause for the girl who at-| gain Mr. George's permission to have meat in any form. Following are the sentiments of the | inspired spring poet: A SAD WEEK FOR MARY. Mary had a little lamb That gamboled in the SUN. Dad held it till the price went up To turn it into MON. But Mary planned a wedding feast, Alas, ’twas meatless TUE; It seemed as if when Mary WED The lamb she must eschew.

Potato Surplus Stores Threatened Cleveland, O.—Dealers in potatoes here declare that between 200,000,000 and 300,000,000 bushels of these vege- tables, the surplus of last year’s 442,- 000,000 bushel crop, are stored in va- rious parts of unless disposed of within the next few weeks, must be thrown away. The new Florida potato crop is de- clared here to be coming into the mar- ket within 30 to 40 days, and the 1917 surplus must be disposed of before that time. Potato prices in Cleveland recently at wholesale ranged from $1.65 to $2 per 100 pounds, and commission men were agreed that the price to the con- sumer should not be more now than $1.50 a bushel of 60 pounds weight. Potato prices have dropped in Cleve- land $1 a bushel in the last few weeks, the president of the Produce Associa- tion declares. One of the curious facts presented here is said to be that the American public is not eating so many potatoes today as when they sold at $3 a bushel; and when onions retailed at from 10 to 15 cents a pound last winter there was a bigger demand, it is said, than there is to- day, when they retail at 3 cents a pound and can be bought at wholesale at 13 cents a pound. It has been pro- posed here that the government i should issue an order making pota- | toes, and possibly onions, the commod- ity that should be purchased along | with flour and sugar instead of ask- | ng customers to buy corn meal with i flour. | err | ——Join the U.

He says: 1 have made a careful examination of Goldine and Alterac and find them to be a union of purely vegetable substances so compounded that their digestion and assimilation is accomplished with the greatest ease. no dangerous habit-forming drugs can be used by adults or children.

Superlative praise many times fails to convince. It is the character and personality behind the praise that counts. When a person of Miss Braine’s reputation as a successful nurse for over forty years endorses a preparation, that preparation must have merit. Many people owe their lives to Miss Braine, she has been a nurse in Wil- liamsport for over forty years. Miss Braine is 74 years of age, lives at 931 West Third “Street. She says: “I have always kept myself in pretty good health, but I contracted rheu- matism on a trip South about twenty years ago and haven't been able to get rid of it, although I have doctored and tried everything I knew, but in- stead of getting better I kept getting worse and the last year it has been so is indigestion, which has a curious way of sending a rush of blood to the head and causing this blood to exert | a pressure on the brain which often results in acute pain. A good cathartic suited to the sys- tem of the individual is the first thing to be considered, for nine chances out of ten the indigestion has been caused by a torpid liver. : Follow this with a hot foot bath, in which, if the pain is very severe, a tablespoonful of English mustard to a gallon of water has been meted. The hot water should draw the blood away from the head. Eye headaches are in a class by themselves and require the attention of an oculist. Witch hazel compresses are as ef- ficacious as they are simple. ‘Nervous headaches are the invaria- ble accompaniments of overexhaus- tion or strain of any sort. Again the hot water foot bath should play its part and then nothing will work wonders as will the cold and warm compress on the forehead and at the base of the neck. Into a half pint of hot water mix a tablespoonful of witch hazel and one- half teaspoonful of tincture of ben- zoin. Dip into this a small towel and lay it as hot as can be borne over the forehead and eyes, and again at the base of the neck. Continue the hot treatment for about 10 minutes and then put the identical mixture into half a pint of cold soda water and apply the cold compresses in the same place and manner. The hot compresses relax the nerves and muscles and the cold tones them to normal condition. Frequent bathing of the face in cold water in which there is a bit of sweet spirits of ammonia often refreshes one when the severest of the pain is over. Quiet, both of nerves and of body, is essential for nerves or for stomach headaches and should go a long way toward restoring normal conditions. Often headaches occur when it is impossible to avail onself of the heat and rest that one should have. Office workers, for instance, can’t very well sit at their desks with heads bound with compresses and feet in a foot — Subscribe for the “Watchman.” tub. i tending my duties bad that I have had difficulty in at- as a purse. «I have been taking the Goldine treatment about ten days now and I wish to say that it is remarkable the way it has relieved my pains.

Mrs. Rosa Reinhart, who lives at 333 Jefferson Street, says: “For 14 years 1 have suffered with stomach trouble and have doctored and taken medicines galore, but without results. I was bloated all the time with gas. Could not eat any solid food without having severe burning, smarting pains in the pit of my stomach. Naturally, I was weak and in a rundown condi- tion and you can imagine that life was anything but pleasant for me. “Jt is three weeks since I began the use of Goldine. The help it has given me has been wonderful. In three weeks I have changed from one of the most miserable to one of the most happy of women. After doctoring and trying everything I heard of 14 years, your Goldine is the only thing that ever helped me. Think of it. Do I recommend it? Let people ask me personally if they have any doubts about it.” “No achievement in the history of all the proprietary medicines paral- lels the record of Goldine. The New Marvel Medicine.
