-“ ad Bellefonte, Pa., October 18, 1918. County Correspondence Items of Interest Dished up for the Delectation of “Watchman” Read- i ers by a Corps of Gifted Correspondents. ORVISTON. Mrs. Wiiliam A. Walker is very ill with tonsilitis. Mrs. Gilbert Gillespie is able to be about again, but is still far from strong. Harry Singer is very ill.

James Moody Sr., of Snow Shoe, was visiting old friends here on Sat- urday. Come again, James, we were all glad to see you. George Page, of Blanchard, was re- newing old friendships here last week. He looks well and hearty. All were pleased to see him. Mrs. Curtis Walker, of Monument, is very ill with Spanish influenza, and all are sorry, as she is well and fa- vorably known here, as relatives of both herself and husband reside here. George Shearer, who has been cook- ing at Tom Johnson's boarding house, at Back camp, took his little son Archie home to Lock Haven, Thurs- day, as he was very ill. Membranous croup developed and the little chap was very ill at last reports. He is a bright little boy and the friends of Mr. and Mrs. Shearer are hoping he may recover soon. Mrs. William Jones writes from Wilkes-Barre that her husband was stricken with Spanish influenza short- ly after reaching his parents’ home. He was so ill that for a time he was not expected to recover, but was some better at last accounts. Mrs. Jones has the sympathy of her friends, as she was just recovering from an ill- ness when Mr. Jones took her and ba- by Bill away, thinking to_give them both a change and rest. We are all hoping for the best. The young friends of Delbert P. Barnhart gave him a pleasant sur- prise on Saturday evening, October 12th, in honor of his 18th birthday.

It is needless to say that the situ- influenza in this town up to this writ- | sweeping through Pennsylvania has ' ation is critical else these men would ing. Claude Hoy is bragging about the big daughter that came to their home lately, and he says they now have a boy and a girl to help farm. The heavy frosts that we have had are ripening the nuts. The chestnut crop is the heaviest that we have had in these parts in many years.

Verna Fogleman, who has been at- tending a commercial school at Wil- liamsport, is home, owing to the clos- ing of the school on account of influ- enza. All schools and churches are closed and the people who have been regu- lar attendants at all church services hardly know how to spend the Sab- bath day. Do not think that we have any slackers in these parts. The people try to please the government by not taking their automobiles out on Sun- day, excepting for very urgent rea- sons. Rev. McHenry moved his family in- to the United Brethren parsonage, at Houserville, on Monday, he having been sent here by the annual confer- ence, for the ensuing year.

This old fellow said to the treasurer of the concern one day: “Me and that off-horse has been workin’ for the company seventeen years, sir.” “Jus so, Winterbottom, just so,” said the treasurer, and he eleared his throat and added: “Both treated well, I hope?” The old teamster looked dubious. “Well,” he said, “we wus both took- en down sick last month and they got a doctor for the hoss, while they dock- ed my pay.”—Pittsburgh Sun. ————————TY CASTORIA Bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher. In use for over thirty years, and The Kind You Have Always Bought. | reached such alarming proportions ‘and is increasing so rapidly that we | feel it our duty to call public atten- | tion to the danger which threatens the entire Commonwealth, and to ap- peal for aid to all citizens, both men and women. Up to the present time approxi-! mately two hundred and seventy-five thousand persons have sickened and each day records a higher number of new cases than the day before. In Massachusetts where the epi- demic started earlier than here, ten per cent. of the whole population has been affected and a death rate of five per cent. of the cases has been report- ed. The Commissioner of Health of that Commonwealth advises us that except in Boston and vicinity where the disease first broke out the num- ber of new cases continues to equal the high water mark. We have no grounds to expect an early abatement of the epidemic; on the other hand all reports from af- flicted districts indicate that condi- tions will become worse before they become better. The great anthracite and bitumin- ous coal fields, the populous indus- trial and shipbuilding centres teem- ing as never before with thousands upon thousands of workers, are alike crippled in their output, and the grav- ity of the menace to our continued output of munitions and ships is very great. We must save Pennsylvania’s citizens. We must win the war. To deal with the situation the State Department of Health has divided the Commonwealth into nineteen districts each under supervising medical and nursing officers reporting to the Act- ing Commissioner and with the help of all the forces of the Adjutant Gen- eral of the Commonwealth and the use of all State property under his control has assisted in establishing sixty-four emergency hospitals in those districts most affected. The Department has also enlisted the ac- tive co-operation of the Red Cross and the Council of National Defense and the Committee of Public Safety and all other relief organizations, but the demand for workers still far ex- ceeds ‘the supply. One-fourth of Pennsylvania’s doctors and one-third of her nurses are serving under the colors, the first call for help from the New England States further dimin- ished the supply and similar condi- tions in neighboring States render it impossible to give us help. Notwithstanding all efforts which have been made the sick in some places may lie for days without a physician’s attendance. There is a most distressing lack of nursing help for tending the sick in their own homes and the same condition: pre- vails in practically all hospitals, both those long established and those has- tily improvised for the emergency. Even the dead in populous centers lie too long unburied and the receiving vaults and morgues are more crowd- ed than the hospitals. Citizens of Pennsylvania the call for immediate personal service is im- perative. The only solution of the problem is by free community serv- ice, tending the sick, feeding the hun- gry and bearing the burdens of the weak. Both men and women are needed and should report for duty to their lo- cal health authorities or Red Cross Chapter. Disaster to the essential war indus- tries of the nation and calamity to our people can only be averted by united and vigorous action. Each community should as far as possible finance its own relief requirements, calling for aid from the Common- wealth or from State or National re- lief organizations only when needful, thus equalizing the burden. We call upon the clergy, the press, educators, teachers and all those moulding public opinion to bring to the hearts and minds of our people the gravity and necessity of this ap- peal. This call to service has been issued by the Governor of our Common- wealth, the Hon. Martin G. Brum- baugh. It is supported by B.Frank- lin Royer, acting commissioner of Medical. Convincing Testimony GIVEN BY MANY BELLEFONTE PROPLE. Experiences told by Bellefonte peo- ple— Those who have had weak kid- neys— Who used Doan’s Kidney Pills— Who found the remedy effective— Such statements prove merit. You might doubt dn utter stranger. You must believe Bellefonte peo- ple. : Here's Bellefonte proof. Verify it. Read. Investigate. Be convinced. You'll find why Bellefonte folks believe in Doan’s. James H. Rine, carpenter, 239 High St., says: “My back was so weak I could hardly stoop to put on my shoes. I had severe pains through my limbs and could hardly drag my- self around. Doan’s Kidney Pills, which I get at Green’s Pharmacy, cured me.” OVER THREE YEARS LATER Mr. Rine said: “I have tad no occa- sion to use Doan’s Kidney Pills since they cured me.” Price 60c, at all dealers.

Carrie Hess, Miss Emma Kleinsor- Miss Edith Buttorf, Money in Queues. The Chinese authorities profess to be somewhat perturbed over the revi- val of queue growing, and the police in Pekin have been instructed to see that all such hirsute appendages are removed. It is generally understood that the queue is a badge of imper- ialism, an expression of loyalty to the | E Manchu dynasty, and for that reason is taboo. Other considerations, how- ever, enter into the matter of queue cutting, and these are not altogether disinterested. As a matter of fact, “squeeze” enters into this movement as it does in almost every one in China. To explain. Human hair is very valuable. Chinese hair more so, be- cause being so thick it can be split and applied to the various uses which have created the demand for human hair. Now a queue is worth roughly $5 or $6 Mexican, perhaps more, and if an official with commercial instincts can collect several hundred, he is do- ing a good stroke of business for him- self. Of course, others may have to share in the profits, but still the bal- ance to be credited to his banking ac- count is substantial. It is not suggested that any partic- ular official plans this scheme, but it is well known that Chinese have been persuaded to remove their “tails” on grounds of hygiene and cleanliness by men who were actuated solely by the profit to be derived from the sale of the hair. Even foreigners have not been above engaging in this trade, and shiploads of coolies and workmen bound for Europe have been induced to part with their locks. It is only fair to say that the bulk of the police who carry out the queue cutting in- structions have no other motive than obedience to orders, but, on the other hand, it is just as reasonable to infer that some one is making something out of it. In other words, queue cut- ting does not always represent anti- Manchuism. Sometimes it represents commercialism.—Peking Correspond- ence New York Times. WOULD BE A WOODMAN.

Not the least important weapon for defending our coasts and our harbors from the attacks of hostile: warships is the submarine mine. Though it is perhaps the least ominous looking of naval defenses, if it is once hit by an invading warship its tremendous ex- plosive power will sink the ship in less time than any other weapon could. The shock of the striking vessel au- tomatically explodes the mine and the violently expanding gases from the powder crush in the hull of the ship in a twinkling. Submarine mines are made of an outer casing of steel and an inner charge of high explosive. A sepa- rate chamber, containing nothing but air, gives the mine buoyancy. The mines are carried in small light draft boats to the positions previously map- ped out. The boat simply drops the mines with their anchors overboard. When the cable is all paid out the buoyant mine will be floating about ten feet below the water's surface. The mines lying far outside of a harbor contain their ignition system within themselves, says the Popular Science Monthly. This may be a number of percussion pins placed all around the outside of the mine. When a ship strikes one of these the heat of the impact ignites the powder in- stantly. Or an internal ignition sys- tem may be employed. When a ship hits the mine it rolls over. This re- leases the iron ball which is ordinari- ly held in a small cup in the center of the mine. The ball falls out of the cup and pulls upon a string, releasing a trigger and firing off the charge.— X. ——Subscribe for the “Watchman.” mas cman ss WHEN THE COAST ARTILLERY SPEAKS.

Pettingill, ex-member of 49th Co., Coast Artillery Corps, now residing at Lock Haven, Pa., says: “For twelve years I suffered from nervous indigestion. I had it so bad that I could scarcely eat anything without bringing on headaches and palpitation of the heart. I was trou- bled with gas in the stomach and was very nervous. I had not been able to do any hard work for two years.
