LESSON I
Ruth Plumley
Ledger.
Do not allow a crowd to form
around the person who has had an ac-
cident. He needs air first of all. If
the accident was a severe one, send
for the doctor immediately, and in
the meantime do what you can to
make your patient comfortable. Re-
member that some injuries that seem
slight if not treated promptly by a
doctor may have very serious conse-
quences.
Loosen the collar and belt and any-
thing else that is tight, as tight cloth-
ing interferes with breathing.
1f there are no injuries that need
special attention, get the injured per-
son into a safe and comfortable posi-
tion. The best position is perfectly
flat on the baci: with the head low. If
the face is red, put a pillow or coat
Thompson in the Public
under the head; if it is pale, do not
raise the head at all. If he is vomit-
ing, turn his head to one side so he
will not choke.
Unconscious persons (which means
that they lie white and still, with
closed eyes, hardly breathing) cannot
swallow, so do not give them water,
as this will choke them. Hold the
smelling salts or water of ammonia
under the nose so that the fumes may
be breathed in.
Hurt persons may be given water
with perfect safety, but give it slow-
ly so that they can swallow between
sips.
The first aider must use what he
can find near at hand and explain
clearly to helpers what he wants them
to do. When there are several inju-
ries care for the most serious first.

Leathers from New Sources.
In the hunt for new sources of
leather strange things are turning up.
Thus, for instance, it has been as-
certained that the skins of frogs and
toads can be tanned and turned to ac-
count for card-cases and other fancy
articles.
The Government Fisheries Bureau
says that the skin of the codfish fur-
nishes an excellent leather, tough as
parchment and very durable. The
same is true of salmon skin, which
the Indians along the Yukon river, in
Alaska, have long utilized for cloth-
ing.
Eel-skins are employed in Europe
for binding books, and in Egypt shoe-
soles are made from the skins of cer-
tain fishes caught in the Red Sea.
Sturgeon skin affords a handsome
ornamental leather, and the hide of
the armored garfish is much valued in
Europe being covered with horny
plates that can be polished to an
ivory-like finish.
The skin of the wolf-fish—a fero-
cious little creature that often attacks
persons who venture in wading along
the rocky seashore of New England,
biting them severely—is now being
used for card-cases and shopping
bags.
The green leather called “sha-
green,” remarkable for its wearing
quality and imperviousness to water
(on which latter account it is exten-
sively employed for instrument cas-
es), is made from the hide of the
“angel shark” of the Mediterranean.
In Tartary dried and oiled fish-
skins serve as a substitute for glass
in windows, being sufficiently trans-
lucent for the purpose.
Woman’s Case
Startles Bellefonte
A business man’s wife could not
read or sew without sharp pain in her
eyes. For years her eyes were red
weak. Finally she tried pure Lavop-
tik eye wash. The result of ONE ap-
plication astonished her. A small bot-
tle Lavoptik is guaranteed to benefit
EVERY CASE weak, strained or in-
flamed eyes. ONE WASH will startle
with its quick results. Aluminum

Plain Questions to
Bellefonte People
EVERY BELLEFONTE READER
WILL ADMIT THE SOUND-
NESS OF THE LOGIC.
Would Bellefonte people recom-
mend Doan’s Kidney Pills as they do
if the medicine were not reliable?
Would they confirm their statements
after years have elapsed if their ex-
periences did not show the remedy to
be deserving of it? Statements like
the following must carry conviction
to the mind of every reader:
Mrs. J. C. Johnson, 365 E. Bishop
St., Bellefonte, says: “I was a great
sufferer from backache and pains
across my loins. I could hardly get
about the house. Dizzy spells would
come over me and I would nearly fall.
1 got Doan’s Kidney Pills at Green’s
Pharmacy Co., and two boxes did me
more good than anything else I had
previously tried. The backache and
pains disappeared and my kidneys be-
came normal. I now feel better in
every way.
THE CURE LASTED.
Over six years later Mrs. Johnson
said: “Time has proven that Doan’s
Kidney Pills are reliable. The cure
they made for me has been perma-
nent.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that
Mrs. Johnson has twice publicly rec-
ommended. Foster-Milburn

Hood's Sarsaparilla.
Half Sick, Half Well
A Condition That Will Not Improve
Upon Itself.
In the Spring the depressing con-
dition that many call Spring fever
often runs through families and
neighborhoods.
This indefinite, hard to describe
state of poor health probably means
that you are thin-blooded and anemic.
Exhausted thin blood gets thinner,
low vitality falls lower, poor appetite
becomes poorer. Then the thorough-
ly exhausted system can no longer re-
sist, and on comes the prostrating ill-
ness or serious disease.
Treat the half-sick, Spring-tired
condition with that splendid course of
medicine—Hood’s Sarsaparilla, to for-
tify the whole body; Peptiron, to iron-
ize and make rich red blood; Hood’s
Pills to rouse the liver to its regular
daily duties—and the half-well re-
vives to perfect health. Each medi-
cine is valuable in itself but is trebly
so when used in this combination.
