In use for over thirty years, and The Kind You Have Always Bought. Problem of Soldiers’ Clothes. The soldier has little or no "choice in clothing and the conditions of cam- paigning are such that soldiers are ; seldom ideally dressed. The changes of temperature that western Europe can experience in 48 hours completely baffle anyone who possesses a re- stricted wardrobe and who is obliged to live in the open. Yet the soldier in France must be prepared for any- thing in the line of weather. In the British army, the seasons are regulated by official routine rath- er than by any slavish adherence to climate. The first signs of spring are Army Orders commanding that all “special heavy winter clothing, such as trench coats, furs and sweaters, shall be handed in by April 1. And handed in these comforts duly are, whereupon the weather forthwith becomes wintry again and the middle of April is perhaps marked by a three days’ blizzard and a sharp frost. Garment by garment the winter clothing disappears into the store- houses,—sweaters, winter shirts, trench gloves and mittens, leather coats,—all inexorably return to the Ordnance Department. During the summer this clothing is cleaned, re- paired, sterilized and repacked in bales ready for the succeeding au- tumn and winter issue. The clothes collected are replaced by issues of lighter stuff, more suit- able for warm weather wear, for in the summer, fighting is hot work, and gunners prefer to serve their guns in knee-length underdrawers and a shirt. During some battles in the hottest days the men have stripped even far- ther than this, and worked bare to the waist, as their grandfathers served the guns in Nelson’s day. Wool and flannel seem heavy stuff for summer wear, but the British ar- my is old in experience and knows the best all-round materials. Cotton, though excellent for comfort, is said to swell the sick lists rapidly, for when soaked through with perspira- tion it dries in such a way to chill the wearer, while the heavier wool, though less pleasant to wear, dries without ill effect. The same standard outer uniform serves the British soldier for all con- ditions of marching. It does not shrink or get hard from repeated washing, and it is extraordinarily durable. British army clothing may not be handsome or even well cut, but it is most carefully designed to furnish the maximum of practical use combined with the first hygienic qualities. The best testimony to its excellent quality and design is the fact that the soldier himself acknowledges that “ration clothes” are the best that can be found for army wear. To Frighten Birds from Berry Patches. In many sections where berries are grown the birds are so destructive it frequently becomes a temptation to the owners of the fruit to kill the birds. The proper plan is to have some fruits, in the way of Russian mulberries or some other small fruits that are not marketable, for the birds, and they will to a great extent leave the larger and more valuable fruits alone. Where no such provision has been made it is an easy matter to frighten most of the troublesome birds away, by erecting windwheels, which will whirl rapidly in the breeze, and frighten them away. The wheels can be built with a sim- ple cross made of strips 1x2 inches, and two or three feet long, with lids of candy pails attached to each of the four ends, with a thin strip under the lid at one edge of the two-inch strip, to make the surface of the lid at a certain angle. These catch the wind, and if care has been taken to proper- ly balance these crossed lids, they will revolve smoothly and rapidly on a large nail or spike driven into a cross arm on an upright, after holes slight- ly larger than the nails have been drilled through the cross arms exact- ly in the center. These lids may be painted different bright colors, or cheap mirrors placed on the surface. The flashes of sun- light reflected from the mirrors will be like flashes of lightning in every direction, as the angle on which they are mounted will throw the reflec- tions in every direction. To increase the effectiveness of these useful devices, hang a string of sleighbells in such a position that one of the arms will shake it slightly each time it passes around, and the noise combined with the bright colors and flashes of light will surely keep the birds away from the berry patch. ——Subsecribe for the “Watchman.” Reads Like a Fairy Tale, but Truth is Stranger than Fiction. Had Almost Given Up Hope. “I give Goldine praise for what it has done for me. I had rheumatism for over ten years. I had almost given up hope of ever being better but some way I felt confidence in Goldine almost from the start. The first bottle gave me such relief that I felt as though I had a new lease on life. I hope all that have or are suf- fering as I did will try it. I surely cannot praise it too highly. Certainly this will prove to those who have not taken Goldine what wonderful results are obtained in giv- ing Goldine a full and thorough trial. You will never regret it as thousands praise the day they found Goldine. Goldine can be secured at Green’s Pharmacy, Bellefonte, Pa., where they will be glad to tell you what it has done for others. GOLDINE—Memorize the name. 63-39 Business Must Finance the War. “More business than-usual”—that’s the slogan that will-win the war. It is the business of advertising to keep the dollar at work. How are we going to keep dollars at work at a time when the industrial resources and business energies of the people are being drafted for the war? Adver- tising is the answer. The government has shown its faith in the power of advertising by making use of it on a scale of magnitude never before at- tempted in this or any other country. It is the business of advertising to pull idle dollars out of their hiding places and put them to work. If this is the business of advertising in nor- mal times, then advertising has a job now that is collossal in its propor- tions. Advertising must not only sell the Liberty bonds, the war savings stamps and the Red Cross, but must keep business from languishing, for, after all, it is big business and little business that must “finance” the war. If there is no business how can we “finance” the war? We cannot “fi- nance” it out of our savings; that idea is fallacious. We can only make money by spending money. If we stop producing things, and selling things, and buying things, and mere- ly depend upon our savings, we will soon reach the bottom of the box and the next government loan will find us without any money with which to buy bonds. . “But,” says the economist fresh from the cloistered monasteries of learning, “if all the productive ener- gies and resources of the country are diverted to the business of war, it is impossible for business to go on as usual.” We don’t want business to go on as usual. We must do more business than usual. As a matter of fact, we have only scratched the surface, so far as the productive power of this country is concerned. We could act- ually make everything needed for the war and at the same time increase our productive capacity in all other lines a hundred fold. Don’t put up the shutters or pull down the sign. Business must go right on or we will lose the war—and then Germany will take up business where we left off. And if business must go right on, advertising must go right on, for ad- vertising is the most important fac- tor in merchandising. Every dollar must be kept at work. We must save, but not hoard. An idle dollar in the bank is a lazy, unproductive dollar. It is the function of adver- tising to pull these idle dollars out of the bank and put them to work. It is the business of advertising to in- crease the earning power of every dollar in all lines of industry to the end that the people may finance the war with the least drain upon the country’s resources and with the least interruption to normal activities— Pittsburgh Dispatch. Supply of Trained Nurses Ample for U. S. Needs. New York.—There will be enough nurses to care for the sick and wound- ed of America’s army of 5,000,000 next year, according to a statement made by Miss Adelaide Nutting, chairman of the committee of nurs- ing of the committee of National De- fense. She said that, whereas Surgeon General Gorgas had called for 25,000 graduate nurses by next January, 27,000 already had been enrolled by the Red Cross and 16,000 of these actually inducted into military serv- ice. —Subsecribe for the “Watchman.” Hood’s Sarsaparilla.

A thunder-storm came up. The balloonist, amid buck- ets of rain, the roar of thunder, and the flash of lightning, was blown about like a thistledown. On toward midnight he found himself over a plantation and threw out his anchor —a grapnel at the end of a long rope. _ It happened that a Negro had died in one of the huts of this plantation. The funeral was to take place in the morning. A dozen friends of the de- ceased sat in the soft summer night before the hut, telling ghost-stories. Suddenly in the darkness above them they heard strange noises—a | flapping, as of great wings, menacing cries. And they saw dimly a form- less black shape. All but one man ran. This one man, as he cowered on his stool, had he ill luck to be seized by the grap- nel. The grapnel, going at a great pace, whirled him up for four or five feet in the air, and jerked him along at the rate of fifteen miles or so an hour. “Oh, Massa,” he yelled, squirming and kicking in that strange flight. “I’s not de one! I’se not de cawpse! Henny? in de house dah! In de house ah! ~ ORVISTON. William Jones Jr., who has been very ill, is improving steadily.

The backache and pains disappeared and my kidneys became normal. now feel better in every way.” LASTING RESULTS. 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.” 60c, at all dealers.
