The demand is based upon the rise in price of various ar- ticles, including many daily newspa- pers which hitherto have sold for a cent. Two coins have thus to be ten- dered instead of one, and the citizen, rummaging in his pockets for the “change” for his day’s news, would perhaps rather have something equiv- alent to the English penny than be compelled to hunt for two coins no bigger than the English farthing. There has been but one issue of two- cent pieces. This began in the last year of the Civil war and continued until 1872. The government stopped coining the two-cent piece at about the time it ceased making the silver half-dime and three-cent pieces.—The Monitor. —-— CASTORIA Beare the signature of Chas. H.Fletcher.

At the first sign of back- ache, headache, dizziness or kidney and bladder disorders, you should give the weakened kidneys prompt atten- tion. Eat little meat, take things easier and use a reliable kidney tonic. There’s no other kidney medicine so well recommended as Doan’s Kidney Pills. Bellefonte people rely on them. Here’s one of the many statements from Bellefonte people. Mrs. J. T. Gordon, 130 E. Beaver St., says: “I, and another of my fam- ily, found great benefit from Doan’s Kidney Pills. We got them at Par- rish’s Drug Store. Our trouble was backache and a dull, constant ache through the loins. I was in misery at times and mornings was sore and lame. I dreaded to begin my house- work. Doan’s Kidney Pills made my kidneys normal and relieved the back- ache. I have had no return of the donb Doan’s Kidney Pills are all rig J _ Price 60 cents at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Gordon had.

Prompt attention given all legal business entrusted to his cas. days last week with Miss Ruth Has- - | singer, of Millheim. Mrs. A. W. Garver left last week for Hazelton, where she expects to make her future home. A surprise miscellaneous shower, originated by Mrs. Samuel Poorman, was given Mrs. Lawrence Meeker (formerly Miss Zella Evey) last Fri- day evening. The gifts presented in- cluded much linen and house furnish- ings to be used in her new home. Wounded in Shell-Hole. I dived into a shell-hole and flatten- ed myself as much as possible. As I was lost to sight and to memory too dear to be allowed to escape, they be- gan to cover the ground with bombs. These all went well beyond me, and had it not been for “Butter-fingers” I might have escaped, writes Capt. Hugh Kuyvett of the Anzacs, in April Seribner’s. But a bomb slipped from his hand, rolled into the hole in front of him. He jumped back into the safety of the trench and did not know that the bomb had fallen on me as it exploded. But I knew it—my left leg was broken in three places, 12 wounds in my right, and others on my back, 20 that afterward had to be dressed, not counting some other scratches. Then they came out to look for my friend, almost stepping on me, but after half an hour’s fruitless search they gave up. About two hours later I started home on my long, painful crawl. It took me about 20 minutes to pass the sentry near where I was lying, but after that there was no danger of dis- covery, the front line still appearing almost unoccupied; but I was getting dizzy and not sure of my direction. I knew, however, where there was a derelict aeroplane in No Man’s Land, and made toward it. When I sighted this I was overcome with relief and laid my face in the mud for a while to recover. I had now crawled about 600 yards, drag- ging my useless leg. And my elbows were skinned through, being used as grapples that I dug in the ground ahead, in that way dragging myself a few inches at a time. I knew our trenches were still about 200 yards away, and the sweat of fear broke out on me as I remembered the two ma- chine guns in front of me that would fire on anything seen moving out there, and no one expected me to re- ‘turn that way. So I crawled higher up the line, where it was safer to en- ter, and a few yards from our trench- es gave our scouting-call. Several of my boys came running out and ten- derly picked me up.

One of the most serious problems confronting the anthracite operators is the difficulty in securing sufficient timber to properly insure the safety of the miners. This is especially true of the heavier timber needed for gang- way purposes and at the present time operations have been temporarily halted on account of the inability of timber contractors to meet the ever increasing demands upon them. Virtually all the mountains in the anthracite fields have been stripped of their virgin timber and in many places the young growth has been cut to meet the demand. Owners of the few remaining virgin tracts are de- manding fabulous prices. The cost of mine timber has been steadily climbing for the last several months, and while the coal companies have in- dicated their willingness to pay the prices demanded, they have been una- ble to get the needed supply. Ship- ments of heavy gangway, slope and shaft timber from the far south have been greatly curtailed since the freight congestion early in the cur- rent year. In many instances timber shipped from Georgia and consigned to the mines has been commandeered by the government for use in the ship- yards. Contractors throughout Central Pennsylvania are cutting every avail- able stick of timber. Roadsides once sheltered by giant oaks have been stripped of that protection. Whole rows of big trees that once gave beau- ty to the farm lands have been cut down and sent to the mines. Small tracts held by estates have been dis- posed of at unprecedented prices.— North American. — In 1910 there were 162,084 farm laborers in Pennsylvania, but there are scarcely half that number available this year. Hood's Sarsaparilla. Take Peptiron Now Needed in the Spring by Pale, Weak, Nervous People. Peptiron is in the form of pills, chocolate-coated, pleasant to take, easily assimilated, and is the most successful combination of iron of which its makers, C. I. Hood Co., Lowell, Mass., have any knowledge. You must have an abundance of iron in your blood if you are to be keen, quick and fit in the battle of life, overcome obstacles and know no such thing as failure. For several reasorns lack of iron in the blood is more no- ticeable in the Spring than at any oth- er time. Besides iron, Peptiron includes pep- sin, nux, celery and other tonics, nerve helps and digestives. It gives strength, color and body to the blood; reddens pale cheeks, steadies the nerves, improves the digestion, nour- ishes and gives stamina to the whole body. It is the tonic Spring medicine for you and for your family. 63-16 mms ——— sam Get the Best Meats. You save nothing by buying poor, thin or gristly meats.
