Mr. and Mrs.’ Roy Coxey, of Altoona, accompanied by a party of friends, are spending some time in this vicin- ity, visiting and hunting. Messrs. Kline and Cunningham, of Bellefonte, brought a farm tractor to Charles M. Mothersbaugh on Tues- day, who is now busy husking corn. Mrs. H. C. Rothrock and son Harry, of Port Matilda, were in town several days assisting Mr. and Mrs. Harold Coxey, who on Tuesday moved to Al- toona. Mr. and Mrs. L. H.

Boalsburg had a peace parade on Monday at eleven o’clock. The pa- rade was composed of a mounted mar- shal, the citizens band, Red Cross, school children and almost everybody in the vicinity. The church bells rang from morning until noon. The town was well represented at the parade at State College in the afternoon. The body of Arthur Kimport, of Obelisk, was brought to Boalsburg on Friday evening and taken to the home of his cousin, John Kimport, where funeral services were conducted by Rev. 8. C. Stover on Saturday morn- ing and interment made in the Union cemetery. The family, consisting of one son and four daughters, remained with friends in this vicinity until Tuesday. JACKSONVILLE. Russell Stamm came down from Al- toona to spend a few days at his home here. John Deitz visited his brother Wil- liam on Sunday afternoon and also went to his son Winfield’s home to see how the sick were getting along, and found them improving. On Saturday night two young men of this vicinity went ’coon hunting, but they evidently had no absolute knowledge as to where to look for coons, as they were observed digging out a groundhog burrow. There are still quite a number of cases of influenza in this vicinity, and so far no date has been set for the opening of the schools and churches. At the J. C. Hoy home every member but one is sick and Z. N. Hoy, of How- ard, is helping take care of them. Harry Hoy had a narrow escape from tA injury if not death, last Saturday, while out in the woods cut- ting timber, and as it was sustained a bad cut on his left arm and a gash back of his ear. Mr. Hoy and another man were working together. They were in the act of felling a tree and as it started to fall both men stepped back out of the way. The falling tree, however, hit another one, pulled it out of root and in falling one of the branches caught Mr. Hoy on the left arm tearing a gash that it took four stitches to close. A small limb struck him back of the ear, cutting a gash that required two stitches to close. RUNVILLE. Edward Lucas is spending a few days at State College. Newton Lauck wisited his parents at Snow Shoe last Sunday. : E. R. Lucas, of Altoona, called at the home of L. J. Heaton on Monday. All those who were on the sick list with influenza are abie to be around again. W. T. Kunes spent Sunday at Un- ionville with his uncle, William Way, who is quite ill.

N\ Quite a number of our people at- tended the big demonstration at Belle- fonte Monday night. Rev. Erb and L. J. Heaton attended the funeral of Jesse Lucas’ child, at Fairview, last Sunday afternoon. William Johnson, wife and daugh- ter Ruth, Walter Hugg and Mr. Fos- ter Kyler, of Wallaceton, spent Sun- day among their many friends in this place. ORVISTON. Mrs. John Hume, who went to New- ark, N. J., to get her mother, Mrs. M. A. Niepling, caught the flu soon after she got there. She is recovering and will soon be home. Our new doctor, Mr. Bennett, re- ports about 800 cases of Spanish flu in town. The doctor has taken charge of the house which Hebley’s vacated and has converted it into a hospital. Harry Singer is down with the flu and was very serious at last reports. It is stated that Tyler Fravel, who is in the Orviston hospital, is not expected to recover. Uncle Sam Goes in for New Millinery. | When your particular fighting man { comes home he will be a different | looking soldier lad from the Jim or | Jack or Harry you waved good-by and | good luck to when he was home that last time from Meade or Dix, Upton or Devens or Hancock, before he sail- ed for over there to help Pershing clean up the big job. When the boys come home you will | hardly recognize them for American | soldiers as they swing down Broad | street, Philadelphia; up Fifth avenue, New York, or along the hundreds of main streets of hundreds of little towns everywhere the broad land over, : For the American soldier is to lose that most characteristic aspect of American soldiers for many, many years—his sombrero, his cowboy hat. Its days are numbered. It will not be long now before every one will be able, at a glance, to distinguish be- tween officers and men who have been over and done a bit of their bit and officers and men in training here or intended only for home service. The cowboy, or campaign hat—the official headgear of American troops —8oes out of style, and the snug-fit- ting little oversea cap becomes the style. Orders have been given that over- Sea caps are to be issued in the Unit- ed States to all enlisted men ordered to duty overseas upon their arrival at the embarkation camps. Officers, too, will be provided with oversea caps up- on arrival at the port of embarkation. They are not authorized to wear them in the United States before that time. . Our boys in France have been wear- ing the oversea caps for some time, and for a very good reason. They fit nicely under the steel helmets, and are most welcome in bitter weather when so worn. The sombrero was the mil- linery of millinery for the Mexican border and army post wear in this country, but it wasn’t the most com- fortable headgear imaginable, and it just didn’t cram under a steel helmet. hen you see a Yankee soldier wearing an oversea cap, you can tell what branch of the service he has done his bit in by noting the color of the piping on the cap. A general’s oversea cap is to have gold piping. Officers of the general staff have gold and black piping, in equal proportions, according to the new specifications. Pipings for the different branches of the service are prescribed as follows: Dark blue for the adjutant gener- al’s department. Dark blue with white threads for the inspector general’s department. Dark blue with light blue threads for the judge advocate general’s de- partment. Buff for the quartermaster corps. Black with scarlet threads for the ordnance department. Orange with white threads for the signal corps. ; Maroon for the medical corps. Green with black threads for the air service. Scarlet with white threads for the corps of engineers. Gray for the tank service. Cobalt blue with yellow threads for the chemical warfare service. Green with white threads for the corps of interpreters. Yellow for cavalry. Scarlet for artillery. Light blue for infantry. Light blue with scarlet threads for infantry machine-gun organizations. Yellow with scarlet threads for cav- alry machine-gun organizations. Black for chaplains. Black with silver threads for field clerks. In addition to the piping designat- ed for the arm or corps in which he serves, an officer must wear his in- signia or rank on his oversea cap, just as he wears it on the collar of his blouse, or, when coatless, on the collar of his olive-drab shirt. The in- signia of rank—whether a general’s four.stars, a colonel’s eagle or a lieu- tenant’s single bar—is to be worn on the left side of the oversea cap. So passes the old campaign hat. It was picturesque. It will live in the movies of Pershing’s long khaki col- umn moving over the Mexican desert, and it will live in the photograph of her boy that many and many a moth- er cherishes more dearly than any other possession—the photographs that were taken in the last days at the great cantonments and sent home with so much love and pride. Modern warfare hasn’t much use for the picturesque. It is utility that counts. The oversea cap is efficiency as applied to army millinery. Pennsylvania Private First to Escape from Huns. The Stars and Stripes, the official newspaper of the American expedi- tionary forces, identifies the first American private soldier to escape from prison in Germany as Frank Sa- vicki, and devotes a three- column ar- ticle to his experiences. Savicki, whose home was in Shenandoah, Pa., is a Russian Pole by birth and has taken out his first naturalization pa- pers. While a prisoner in the hands of the Germans, Savicki spent ten weeks behind the German lines, where he worked fourteen hours dai- ly on military work. He then was sent to a farm. He often went days without food and water, and was clubbed by his guards for picking grass along a roadside to eat. Final- ly he was sent to the prison camp at Rastatt, where he received American Red Cross parcels from Switzerland. After several weeks in the prison camp Savicki succeeded in escaping and making his way through the mountains into western Alsace, where he has rejoined his regiment. Red Cross Work far from Finished When War Finally Ends.

Council to each of the 3857 local or- ganizations. “But even with peace,” said the message, “let no one suppose that the work of the Red Cross is finished. Millions of American boys are still under arms. Thousands of them are sick and wounded. Owing to the shortage in shipping, it may take a year or more to bring our boys home from France. “The cessation of war will reveal a picture of misery such as the world has never seen before, especially in many countries which cannot help themselves. The American people will expect the Red Cross to continue to act as their agent in repairing broken spirits and broken bodies. “Our spirits must now ecall us to show that not the roar of cannon or the blood of our own alone directs our activities, but that a great people will continue to respond greatly and freely to its obligations and opportu- nity to serve.” Emperor William II.

Yonkers, N. Y.—The Board of For- eign Missions of the Methodist Epis- copal church, in annual session here, appropriated $5,000,000 for post-war reconstruction work. Bishop W. F. Anderson, of Cincinnati, and Dr. B. M. Tipple, president of the American Methodist College at Rome, were des- ignated to go overseas and supervise the European end of the work. A large part of the fund, it was an- nounced, will be used in the establish- ment in Methodist colleges of schol- arships for students who were called into the army and in aiding Metho- dist families whose breadwinners have been killed or wounded. “The men who fought in this war,” declared Bishop T. S. Henderson, out- lining the plans for this work, “will run the country for the next 25 years. Their needs and those of their fami- lies deserve a pre-eminent place on our program.” Dr. Tipple, in discussing the plans for Europe, declared it will take $8,- 000,000,000 and 100 years to restore France to pre-war conditions. He called on the church to establish or- phanages, relief depots and model farms in the devastated areas. “America has the right of way in France,” he said. “They are looking to us for leadership in the period after the war. Besides sending spir- itual help, the Methodist Episcopal church hopes to send over hundreds of engineering and agricultural col- lege graduates who can help in the work of reconstruction.” : The $5,000,000 appropriation, it was said, is part of the general cen- tenary movement, whereby the Meth- odist church expects to celebrate the hundredth year of its missionary ac- tivity next year by the expenditure of $80,000,000 on missions. ——*“A new broom sweeps clean” quoted the Optimist. “But it raises blisters, just the same,” growled the Pessimist. Medical. A Bellefonte Interview Mrs. GORDON TELLS HER EX- PERIENCE. The following brief account of an interview with a Bellefonte woman four years ago, and its sequel, will be read with keen interest by every cit- izen. Mrs. J. T. Gordon, 130 E. Beaver St., Bellefonte, says: “I, and anoth- er member of my family have found great benefit from the use of Doan’s Kidney Pills, which we procured at Parrish’s Drug Store. My trouble was a dull, constant backache which kept me in misery at times. Morn- ings I was so sore and lame I dread- ed to begin my housework, for it was a burden. Doan’s Kidney Pills, taken according to directions, restored my kidneys to a normal condition. I have had no return of the backache or kidney disorders. This medicine sure- ly has my gratitude for the lasting benefit it brought me.” (Statement given April 22, 1914). On October 19, 1918, Mrs. Gordon said: “I gladly confirm my previous statement for Doan’s Kidney Pills, 4s I certainly have found them to be all that is claimed for them. Doan’s Kidney Pills cured me, for which I am very thankful.” 60c, at all dealers. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y. 63-45 Interfered in Mo- |’ What the $41,000 is Wanted For. Seven war work organizations are banded together to raise a huge sum of money. With the utmost confi- dence they ask the public to hand $170,500,000. And Centre county’s . share of this great sum has been ap- portioned as $41,000.00. “What are you going to do with all | that cash?” demands the public. | “Spend it. All. In a year. For | everything you can think of,” is the i calm response of the seven. | The record of the organizations for | the past year is the best guarantee | that they will continue to be in the | future good customers, careful in | purchasing, fair in payment, and quick with cash. The Y. M. C. A., the Knights of Columbus and the Jewish Welfare Board maintain some 750 huts in the cantonments in this country alone. The Y.W. C. A, has 91 “Hostess houses in army, navy and ‘aviation camps, thirteen of them for colored troops. The American Library Asso- ciation has provided in American li- braries in 43 large camps and several hundred smaller ones, notto mention overseas service. The War Camp Community Service operates 500 clubs. The Salvation Army, working chiefly on the other side, has 500 cen- ters. “We’ve gone into the hotel busi- ness,” explain the different organiza- tions when they present their bud- gets. More than 3600 separate buildings have been erected or rented on the other side besides cellars and dugouts pressed into service. Over 500 tons of supplies are sent over weekly to run these huts, clubs, hotels, restau- rants, and hostess houses. In one year one of the organiza- tions shipped: Canned fruit, 1,959, 166 cans; chewing gum, 14,510,000 packages; cigarettes, 848,7 85,802; - ci- gars, 32,358,700; tobacco, 2,557,481 packages; cocoa, 463,824 pounds; con- densed milk, 1,665,120 cans; flour, 31,279,020 pounds; sugar, 10,227,- 735 pounds; tooth paste, 551,520 tubes. That was only a part of what they sent over. One shipment of athletic goods included nearly three thousand baseballs and eight hundred volley balls. Other items vary from mov- ing picture machines to typewriter ribbons. Over twenty thousand ra- zors, one sawmill, and seven thousand dollars’ worth of jam are notes on the year’s list. Then Knights of Columbus mention casually, 1,500,000,000 cigarettes and tons of candy. The American Library Association has bought since the first of the year nearly 750,000 books in addition to those presented by the public. “They: are operating 3000 miles from home. Their goods must be transported over an ocean and across shell swept country. Many of the shipments are sunk by submarines. The “Y” has not underestimated its job. It sent Mr. Alexander Mec- Fayden to have charge in France. He was general manager of the S. S.

War and Medicines What Many of the Sick and Ailing Are Learning Nowabays. So many doctors have gone to war, the services of comparatively few are available at home. Good proprietary medicines are more widely used than ever, and more and more people are finding out how great their merit is. At this time, when there is greater need of economy than ever before, Hood’s Sarsaparilla, a thorough blood purifier, Peptiron, a real pep- sin-nux-iron tonic, and Hood’s Pills, a potent yet mild cathartic, are espe- cially good. They are liked by all who use them. These medicines are remarkably ef- ficient, whether taken in conjunction 2 Separately. Sold by all druggists.

Lincoln was no enemy to worth- while criticism. But when a man told him something was wrong, he wanted that same man to tell him also how to make it right. He always objected to criticism that was merely objec- tion—the criticism of the profession- al grouch (of which we have plenty in the present war just as we had in the Civil war); and here is what he said to such critics: “Gentlemen, suppose all the proper- ty you were worth was in gold, and you had put it in the hands of Blodin, the tight-rope walker, to carry across the Niagara river on a rope.” Would you shake the cable and keep shout- ing out to him: ‘Blodin, stand up a litle straighter—Blodin, stoop a lit- tle more to the north—lean a little more to the south?’ No; you would hold your breath as well L tongue, and keep your hands off until he was safe over. in “The government is carrying an immense weight in this war.

NERVOUSNESS AND HEART TROUBLE GREATLY RE- LIEVED. Gained Fifteen Pounds in Weight— Goldine Did It. Goldine is the best medicine I have ever gotten hold of. Hannah, my wife, is using it now and it is helping her more than anything we have ever tried, and I guess we have tried most everything. She has trouble with her heart and is very nervous. She could not sleep well nights and everything she ate seemed to distress her. doctors called it gastritis. Anyway she suffered a lot, became weak, lost flesh rapidly. The more we doctored the worse she seemed to get. : We decided to give Goldine a trial and we are mighty glad we did for she is not the same woman she was before taking it. She does not com- plain of her stomach any more, and her nerves are a lot better. a month and has gained fifteen pounds in weight.
