This is the notice that one may read in every general store in Spring Mills and every store in Pennsvalley east of Linden Hall and throughout Brush- valley.

The manufacture of slippers with wooden soles and cloth tops is a war- time industry which has sprung up in Holland, reports the United States Department of Commerce. The upper and inner parts of the slippers are formed of twill, corduroy, and wool- en stuffs. All these materials are rel- atively cheap and yet make comforta- ble and durable slippers. The cloth parts are made by hand and the wooden soles by machinery. In view of the mounting prices of leather footwear, these combination slippers, which retail for the equiv- alent of $1 a pair for the best qual- ity, are selling rapidly. It is claimed that they are entirely satisfactory for wear in the home and are practicable for women engaged in indoor occu- pations. ——For high class job work come to the “Watchman” office.

A horrible example of government control of shipbuilding, according to a complaint against red tape made by the manager of a shipbuilding firm, is amusingly summarized by the Spring- field Republican in what follows. Some tools or materials were requir- ed which ordinarily “could have been suplied without interference in from six to eight weeks.” But they did not show up until seven months had pass- ed. With the government on the job this is what happened: 4th April, 1917—Dept. A orders for urgent work. 8-4-17—Dept. A offers to arrange delivery with Dept. B. 20-4-17—Dept. A is advised that 25 per cent. of the goods ready. 21-4-17—Dept. A states that cannot assist in moving the goods and suggests another department. 24-4-17—Dept. C, we are informed, will give us permits. 25-4-17—Dept. C asks to see original gov- ernment order. 27-4-17—Dept. C refuses to assist. 17-5-17—Dept. B, after three weeks’ de- lay, states assistance will be given us. 23-5-17—Dept. C wakes up and asked ex- planations why we secured goods from the market we did. 21-6-17—Dept. A states they must have de- livery. 19-7-17—Dept. D has to be written to for . further permits. : 24-7-17—Dept. E seizes part of the goods because department D has given no permit. 25-7-17—Dept. B refers us to Dept. F over the matter. 27-7-17—Dept. D asks “How dare we?” 1-8-17—Dept. D asked by us to give ‘“per- mit for balance of order.” 2-8-17—Dept. D states further permit must be sanctioned by Dept. G. 24-8-17—Dept. H written to, as instructed by Dept. D. 25-8-17—Dept. H states we should apply to Dept. A. 28-8-17—Dept. D states cannot help us un- less Dept. F does. 30-8-17—Dept. D still regrets cannot as- sist us. 8-9-17—Dept. E seizes goods. 17-9-17—Dept. D sends permit. 5-11-17—Balance of goods received. After reading this some one will probably say that it was high time Mr. Schwab took hold of our ship- building program. It is clear, another will remark, that the shipping board at Washington has made a mess of it. It is a government of incompetence by incompetents that we have, a third will say. But the delay illustrated in the summary quoted above occurred in England, not in this country. It is British red tape, not ours, . that is shown up. It was a Clyde shipbuild- er who did the kicking. The truth is, there is no country where they get 100 per cent. efficiency. ——They are all good enough, but the “Watchman” is always the best. Medical. It’s Foolish to Suffer WHEN SO MANY BELLEFONTE PEOPLE ARE POINTING THE WAY OUT. You may be brave enough to stand backache or headache or dizziness. But, if, in addition urination is disor- dered, look out! If you don’t try to fix your sick kidneys, you may fall in- before you know it. But, if you live more carefully and help your kidneys with Doan’s Kidney Pills, you can stop the pains you have and avoid fu- ture danger as well. Don’t experi- ment—use the remedy Bellefonte peo- ple are publicly endorsing. Read this case: Mrs. J. F. Thal, 28 W. Thomas St., Bellefonte, says: “I suffered from backache and severe pains across my loins. I also had headaches and dizzy spells, when I got up in the morning. Bladder disorders caused me a lot of annoyance, too. My attention was called to Doan’s Kidney Pills and I began taking them, getting my sup- ply at Green’s Pharmacy. One box removed the backache and relieved me of the other trouble from my kidneys. Doan’s Kidney Pills helped me a lot and I always have a good word for “them.” 60c, at all dealers. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y. 63-22 to the clutches of dangerous disease | To the Young Men of Centre County. | Do you appreciate how much de- pends upon you? Not only the safety of your country, but civilization itself is struggling for existence. Your brothers and chums from Centre county are in the trenches off France or on their way. No county | in the State has more reason to be proud of her sons. Already more than 800 of our boys are in the serv- ice and there is no doubt but what they will right nobly uphold the tra- ditions of our country. Are you a slacker or are you help- ing to hold the line? Each one of the fifteen hundred young men in Cen- tre county should be in some service which will help bring victory to our arms. To be idle at present is equal to being a slacker. Many farmers in Centre county and elsewhere are appealing to you for help. If you are willing to do your part, enroll in the United States Boys’ Working Reserve. Every young man between the ages of 16 and 21, enlist- ing in the agricultural service, will receive from the United States gov- ernment the enrollment button of the Boys’ Working Reserve and also a certificate of membership in the or- ganization. After at least six weeks of agricultural service he will then receive the official bronze badge bearing the great seal of the United States and the inscription “United States Working Reserve,” and, at the expiration of the term of enlist- ment and upon the completion of sat- isfactory farm service, an honorable discharge signed by the Governor of the State. When placed by the farm director the wages will be not less than two dollars for the first week and not less than four dollars per week thereafter together with lodging and board. This is no time to argue about wages as the call for your service is as im- perative as the call which came to your brothers when they enlisted in the cause of freedom and humanity. It was not a question of wages with them, but a glad response to the call of service and patriotism. Committee of Public Safety for Centre County. DEPARTMENT CIVILIAN SERVICE AND LABOR. JOHN L.

Penn State Elects Krall Track Cap- tain for 1919. Jesse L. Krall, of Harrisburg, has been elected captain of Penn State’s track squad for the next seasson. The captain-elect is regarded as one of the best quarter-milers who ever wore spiked shoes for the Blue and White. In his preliminary training this spring, Krall covered the 440 in 51 seconds on several occasions. He was scheduled to run against the college athletic carnival, but a heavy rain storm interfered. Captain Krall is registered in The State College agri- cultural school. He is a member of Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity. Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Humors in Spring Such as Pimples, Boils, Eruptions— and Weakness, Languor, Debility. Afflict thousands of people and seem to demand the use of a Spring course of treatment without delay. The very best medicine to take now is Hood’s Sarsaparilla, which thor- oughly cleanses the blood and effects radical and permanent relief by per- fecting the processes of absorption and elimination—giving healthy ac- tivity to the stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels and skin. This good medicine purifies, en- riches and revitalizes the blood in its own peculiar and unequalled way. It promptly relieves rheumatism, scrof- ulous troubles and eczema, regulates the kidneys and liver. It originated in a Boston physician’s successful pre- scription, and enjoys high reputation as a satisfactory all-round family medicine. Accept no substitute, but insist on having Hood’s Sarsaparilla, am J it today. It will do you good. 63- — ay om CHICHESTER S| TIE DIAMOND BRAND. it for- A Ltt Pills in Red and Gold metallic ats th B oF our 'e i) Druggist.
