DOWN NITTANY VALLEY.
Frank Long, of Flemington, has
carpenters at work making repairs on
the farm occupied by Mr. Weber, near
Snydertown. One of the recent
storms blew down the buggy shed,
wrecked the barn door and did other
damage to buildings.
Rev. W. J. Shultz and family re-
turned on Friday from a two week’s
vacation at the parental home of Mr.
and Mrs. Shultz. Glad to have them
home, and the sermon at St. Mark's
church on Sunday evening, was much
appreciated by all present.
On Monday we had the pleasure of
greeting our old friend, George B.
Haines, of Rebersburg, who was pass-
ing foush the valley in company
with his daughter and Mr. dnd Mrs.
Royer. We were sorry to have so
brief a call but glad to see Mr. Haines
in good health and strength, after
his recent sad bereavement.
A number of people from the val-
ley have been over to Loganton to see
the ruins caused by the fire last week
and all report the damage greater
than expected. The town needs help
and is deserving of assistance in the
great misfortune which has come up-
on it. Many of the people have lost
their all, even clothes and furniture
carried out of the house in many
cases, caught fire and burned.
The month of June so far has been
cool and Nittany valley has had an
unusual number of storms and rain.
Not for years have fields been wash-
ed and gullied by water as they have
been this spring. Most of the storms
were accompanied by thunder and
lightning and many trees have been
struck, but little damage done to
buildings. The barns of Jared Cross
and John D. Miller, at Hublersburg,
were both struck recently but not
much damage was done to either. One
peculiarity of the trees struck by
lightning is that most of them were
walnut.
Last Saturday Mr. and Mrs. W. E.
Brandt, son Hugh and Miss Mary Al-
lison, all of Pittsburgh, came in by
auto to spend Sunday at the J. H.
Beck home and to see their son, Jack
M. Brandt, who has been spending the
summer at his grandpas. Mr. Brandt
is a member of the firm of McCoy &
Brandt, Penn Ave., Pittsburgh, deal-
ers in machinery of various kinds,
electrical and steam. He reports bus-
iness good, the only trouble being to
get the goods. Miss Allison is a for-
mer Howard girl and is in charge of
a department of one of the large
Kauffman stores in Pittsburgh. Bus=
iness engagements compelled them to
go back on Monday with the promise
to come again, later in the summer.
Politics in Pennsylvania for years
past has been a muddy pool, but the
situation at present beats anything
on record. Both parties went the lim-
it during the recent primary cam-
paign, but the action of the Palmer-
Donnelly crowd since the nomination
of Judge Bonniwell would be silly on
the part of a bunch of school boys.
The Democratic party has had an op-
portunity to redeem the State from
gang rule and clean up the corrup-
tion and mire into which it has been
plunged, but the set of office brokers
who have undertaken to run the par-
ty in the State will not allow any ef-
fort to succeed that might give the
people clean government. The dis-
gusting part of the matter is the
dragging in of the administration and
their trying to make it appear that
their actions are sanctioned by the
President. But there will come a day
of reckoning. “You cannot fool all
of the people all of the time.”

panied by Lieut. Keller, who spent

ued to New York to purchase his over-
seas equipment before returning to
Camp Jackson, S. C.
The funeral of W. A. Catherman
took place Sunday morning at ten
o'clock, from his late residence. The
deceased was aged 49 years, 8 months
and 11 days. He is survived by his
wife, two sons, Roy and Earl Cather-
man, and one daughter, Mrs. John
Gross, of State College; also his aged
parents, three brothers and two sis-
ters. For many years Mr. Cather-
man was a citizen of this place and he
was highly respected by all who knew
him. Death was caused by uraemic
poisoning.
The United States flag always
is hoisted over the Senate or House
of Representatives when in session.
The flag floats from the flagstaff of
the White House while the President
is in Washington, and its absence in-
dicates the absence of the President
from the Capitol. It is displayed over
the department buildings in Washing-
ton from 9 o’clock a. m. to 4:30 p. m.
every week day.

eye.
The fatal automobile accident which
occurred near here on Sunday even-

sadness. He was a young man of

must be cheering to them all to know
that thousands more just like them
are on the way.

Hood’s Sarsaparilia.
Nervous, Run-Down,
Haggard-Looking
Women and men suffer from blood
and nerve conditions for which it is
impossible to conceive of a better
remedy than Hood’s Sarsaparilla and
Peptiron taken in conjunction, one
before eating and the other after.
These two great medicines aid each
other, and it is economy to take both,
a four-fold benefit being derived.

SPRAINS.—Yes, indeedy! Lots of
people would get “sprains” and
“strains” mixed. But WE know that
“strains” are injuries to muscles and
“sprains” are injuries to joints, don’t
we. And that’ “sprains” are more
serious usually.

and in stepping into her go-cart she
twisted her ankle. Every time she
moved her foot the pain was dreadful
and it soon began to swell very much.
The pain made her feel faint, so her
mother, who has carefully kept all
these “first-aid” lessons, gave her
twenty drops of aromatic ammonia in
some hot water.
Then she made her sit with her foot

upon a chair and put cloths wrung
out in ice water on the ankle. (Hot
cloths are good too)! At first the
pain got much worse, but after about
an hour the swelling began to go
down.
Then she called Doctor Dollby,
which was a very sensible thing to do,
for it is important to see that no
bones are broken. He said she had
done exactly the right thing, but that
the cold cloths must be kept on the
ankle for from twenty-four to forty-
eight hours. An ice bag is a good
way, or crushed ice wrapped in a
cloth.
And—she must not step on the foot
until it is entirely well, which may be
three or four weeks. A good tight
bandage will protect it when she be-
gins to walk around again and I
s’pose she will be all right, but she
certainly did worry her mother.
RUNVILLE.
Our Red Cross held a reception on
Tuesday evening in honor of Newton
C. Lauck, who will leave for Peters-
burg, Va., on June 28th. The speak-
ers for the evening were Col. H. S.
Taylor, and J. Kennedy Johnston, of
Bellefonte. Miss Verna Peters,
Wingate, recited several
which were enjoyed by all. Music for
the evening was furnished by the
Coleville and Runville bands. Mr.
Johnston presented the draftee with
a testament and housewife from the
Red Cross; also a safety razor from
his lodge, the I. O. R. M., of Miles-
sar mans
Medical.
Worn Nerves
Nervous troubles, with backache,
dizzy spells, queer pains and irregular
kidneys, give reason to suspect kidney
weakness and to try the remedy that
has helped your neighbors.
Mrs. S. S. Leitzell, 118 E. Beaver
St., Bellefonte, says: “I was troub-
led by backache in a severe form and
1 was nervous and run down. Dizzy
spells were common and my kidneys
annoyed me in different ways. Doan’s
Kidney Pills fixed me up in good
shape and whenever I have felt a re-
turn of the trouble, I have at once
bought a box of Doan’s at Parrish’s
Drug Store. They have prevented the
attack from becoming serious. Doan’s
Kidney Pills are worthy of praise.”
