Bellefonte, Pa., March 21, 1919. Country Correspondence Items of Interest Dished up for the Delectation of “Watchman” Read- ers by a Corps of Gifted Correspondents. ORVISTON. William Walker is away on a busi- ness trip to Port Matilda. Louis Karney, of Williamsport, is visiting Frank Bartlow, of the upper works. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Estfight, of Lock Haven, and daughter Eva, are visiting Mr. and Mrs. Maines Bowes. Mrs. Margaret Jones, of Wilkes- Barre, and her baby William, are vis- iting with Mrs. Jones’ parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Hume. Mrs. Bessie Watson, who has been visiting relatives in another county, has returned home and reports having had a very pleasant time. Thomas D. Shearer, of Pittsburgh, visited his sister, Mrs. Archie Nelson, during her time of grief, and wished to be remembered to all his Centre county friends, whom he would have been glad to see but had to return home to attend to business matters. The family of James Heverly have all been down with scarlet fever. Vel- ma and her mother were the first to be stricken, then Encie, Sara, and Ster- ling. For several days the little boy was very low, and no hope was enter- tained for his recovery, but latest re- port says he is better, we are glad to say. John Hume Sr., of the upper works, is quite ill. Mr. Hume had influenza at the time Orviston had the epidemic at its worst, and although seemingly he was not serious at the time, he has never recovered his former strength, and as he is no longer young, it is to be hoped he will improve soon. Every one loves “Pappy,” and all are anx- ious for him to get well. Death of Archie Nelson.—Archie Nelson, a former employee of the Hayes Run Fire Brick company, and later of the Centre Brick & Clay com- pany, died Monday morning about 10:30 o’clock, at the Lock Haven hos- pital, of meningitis, following a se- vere attack of influenza in November, which left him in a very weakened condition. Mr. Nelsen was the young- est son of the late Andrew D. and Ma- ry Elvira Nelson, and was born at Troy, Pa., August 26th, 1886, making him at the time of his death 32 years, 6 months and 20 days old. He was married August 15th, 1910, to Ariet- ta C. Shearer, of Axe Mann. Mr. Nelson was a man of sterling worth. It has been said of him that he had no enemies, and of him nothing but good can be said. He was modest and un- assuming, always cheerful, a kindly and obliging friend and neighbor, a loving husband, a faithful worker, al- ways ready to do his duty, and an obedient and affectionate son. He leaves to mourn his death, his wife, one daughter, Mildred, his mother, Mrs. M. E. Nelson; three brothers, Bion T. Nelson, of Orviton; Asa Nel- son, of Williamsport; Ralph Nelson, of Tamaqua, and three sisters, Mrs. George D. Shearer, of Lock Haven; Mrs. Clarence D. Weaver, of Mill Hall, and Miss Emma Nelson, at home with her mother, at Mill Hall. Funeral services were conducted at the family residence, 452 south Jones street, Lock Haven, by Rev. Jesse Por- ter, of Flemington, and interment was made in Cedar Hill cemetery. Many beautiful floral offerings from devot- ed friends and relatives were received and highly appreciated. The sorrow- ing widew and her child, the bereaved mother, brothers and sisters, have the heart-felt sympathy of the entire community. “Farewell, dear friend, may thy guardian angels stand With arms out-stretched to welcome thee, into the Promised Land. With songs of love and gladness, smiles of love and cheer, To comfort you in Paradise, we're waiting here. And Oh! in that blest country, where ail are free from care, You'll wait for us, dear Archie, for we will meet you there. And Oh! the joy of meeting, when we be- hold your face, And hear the songs of triumph, the throne of Grace. To part no more forever, our dearest ones we'll greet, And be with all our loved ones, at our blessed Master's feet.” Orviston friends of Mr. and Mrs. Archie Nelson were grieved to learn of his untimely death. He had been ailing for four months, but some hope of his recovery was entertained until March 5th, when he became so ill he was removed from his home to the Lock Haven hospital, where he died, after hours of great suffering. Orvis- ton friends and relatives who paid their last respects to the departed were Mr. and Mrs. John Hume, Mrs. Amelia Rickard, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Young, George Bixel, Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Shearer and children, Kathryn and Robert; Mr. and Mrs. George Croll and children, Miss Grace, El- mer, Etta, Gladys, Leonie, Mildred and Beatrice, and Mr. and Mrs. Maines Bowes. and the while around OAK HALL.

He expects to return to his former employment in Akron, Ohio.

However, his friends hope he may not be called; that a lasting. peace may come to all peoples. RUNVILLE. Rev. Erb departed last Monday to spend a week with his son at Mt. Un- ion. E. S.

Why, you have more callers in a day than I have in a week.” “Well, mum, perhaps if you’d try to be a little more agreeable, you’d have as many friends as I have.” Colloguial Verdict. “Let’s call it off,” said the alienist as he finished testing a patient for in- sanity.

With the American Troops in North Russia.—The habits and customs of the North Russian peasant are sourc- es of unceasing wonder to the Ameri- can soldier. The peasants are primi- tive and are content to reside where the average American housewife would roll up her sleeves and spend many days in scrubbing before occu- pying. In these wooden or log huts hundreds of Yankee infantrymen and engineers are billited this winter. The Americans, generally speaking, occupy one-half of the house and the family the other. The Americans’ half is as clean as constant “policing” can make it. But as to the other half, there are - chickens, “husky” dogs of the arctic type, and from two to four generations of peasants wandering more or less miscellaneously about their one or two rooms. “But they keep the chickens cooped up part of the day,” one Detroit, Mich., private told the Associated Press correspondent. “You see,” he added, “they only let them out in the morning to ‘police’ the kitchen. That’s easier than sweeping out.” The Russian family’s side of all these houses is airtight. It is bitter- ly cold up here in the forests during the six months’ winter, and the peas- ant does not believe in wasting heat. His windows are sealed up tight and never, never opened. He doesn’t mind the resultant odor. But the American does, and opens the windows in his side of the house, and the peasant shakes his head gravely and worries for fear his Srange khaki-clad guests will catch cold. But the American doesn’t catch cold, and neither does the peasant, for that matter, in his airtight rooms. Both systems seem to work equally well. Since the cold weather has re- ally set in, the soldier and civilian populations have both been surpris- ingly healthy. One peasant habit which the Amer- ican makes countless jokes about is as time-honored and unswervable among the Russians as it is strange to the Americans. That is, sleeping on the stove. The Russian village stoves are built of brick or clay or porcelain. They are about as large as an ordinary American bathroom and flat on top, except where the brick chimney pokes through. One stokes them once or twice a day, until all the wood is burned out, and then closes them up, letting the heated bricks ra- diate their warmth. The flat tops of these stoves are bed spaces for the eldest or most honored of the fami- lies. American officers have surpris- ed many peasant hosts by declining Jnyjiatims to use these choicest of all eds.

Peptiron is Good This Real Iron Tonic Combines Merit, Economy and “Pep.” Made from the formula that uses iron in most digestible form, pepsin and gentian, great stomach tonics, nux and celery, the best vegetable remedies for the nerves, and also manganese and other valuable nutri- ents—there’s no question of the value of Peptiron as a blood builder and strengthener. The larger size of Peptiron contains enough for a full month’s treatment, while other so-called iron preparations contain only one-half or less. The “pep” or promptness with which Peptiron does its work is noted by everyone who takes it. From the first dose the system re- sponds to the treatment, and you re- alize you are at last using a medicine that begins right, continues and ends right. Better get a bottle of Peptiron today. Take two Peptiron after each meal—then comes good blood, good appetite, and—pep. 64-12 LANE'S COLD & GRIP TABLETS GUARANTEED BOALSBURG. The Ear of the Owl. 1t is held by naturalists that, in or- der to capture its prey, the ewl must depend even more upon its sense of hearing than upon that of sight. The tufts of feathers that distinguish the short-eared and long eared owls are, of course, no more ears than they are horns. The true ear of the owl is a most remarkable organ. The facial disk of feathers that gives the owl its characteristic ap- pearance serves as a kind of sound- ing-board or ear-trumpet to concen- trate the slightest sounds and to transmit them to the orifice of the true ear, concealed in the small feath- ers behind the eye. Even in the barn owl, which possesses the least compli- cated arrangement of this kind, the orifice of the ear is covered by a re- markable flap of the skin, while in the other species there are striking differ- ences in the size and shape of this or- ifice and its covering flap on the two sides of the head. The exact way in which owls util- ize this elaborately specialized appa- ratus has still to be discovered.—Har- per’s Weekly. Tons of River Coal Sold. Dealers in Harrisburg estimate that something like 200,000 tons of river coal were taken out of the Sus- quehanna in that vicinity during the last year. At an average price of $2.50 a ton the coal could be reckoned to be worth $500,000. ——Federal officers inspected 579,- 617 goats during eight years and not a single animal was condemned for tuberculosis.

Had Taken Nearly Every Remedy Rec- ommended Without Obtaining Re- lief. Mrs. Frank Woodson, 220 Welsh St., said: “For eight years I have suffered with liver and kidney trou- ble. At times the pain in my back and the burning sensation across my kidneys were almost unbearable. My liver was very bad and I suffered con- tinually. I tried everything I could hear of in hopes of getting relief, but nothing seemed to do me any good. I got a bottle of Goldine Alterac, and for the first time in eight years I find myself free from pain.” “My backache is gone. The burn- ing sensation has disappeared. I have no biliousness and feel better than I ever expected would be possible after so many years of torture. I don’t be- lieve I could have lived much longer the way I suffered, and I truly believe Goldine saved my life.” “It has at least made life worth liv- ing for me and I can’t praise it high enough.” “I want to tell you that if you suf- fer from kidney trouble don’t wait as long as I did, but get Goldine and see how much better you feel. It really gave me new life and I want to rec- ommend it to every one.” Signed: Mrs. FRANK WOODSON, 220 Welsh St., Kane, Penna.
