Bower spent four weeks at the home of Mrs. J. K. Moy- er. The grip has let go in this section of the county. There are no new cases and we are all thankful. The Mallory family and other friends were here to attend the fun- eral of Mrs. Sholl, who was buried last week. Our soldier boys are slowly drift- ing home and most of them walking the streets waiting for something to turn up in the shape or work. A party of ten friends journeyed to Bellefonte to meet Paul Limbert, who came home from Camp Upton last week on a brief furlough. Mr. Lim- bert is the Y. M. C. A. secretary at Camp Upton. Rebersburg is awakening form its winter lethargy and showing signs of a boom in ways that should mean a decided improvement. A Boy Scout movement has been inaugurated un- der the leadership of Rev. Shannon, of the Lutheran church, and a girls campfire organization has been start- ed by Mrs. Shannon. Outdoor life seems to be gathering a lot of devo- tees and a hiking club is being form- ed. Time will show how much good can be gotten out of all these move- ments, but with these to talk about, the parties, sales and usual gossip, Rebersburg should be the news cntre of this end of the valley.

Most people err not so much from want of capacity to find their object as from not knowing what object to pursue.—Sir Joshua Reynolds. FOR While most of the latest models in- troduced in Paris show extremely long skirts, the Maison Doucet is hav- ing skirts that are eight inches off the ground and narrow, too. Smart little short coats and capes of colth or velvet are designed to jateh frocks of taffeta and of fou- ard. Lovely new dress skirts of crepe Georgette and the fascinating snake- skin silk come in pastel colorings and are made with the crepe in yoke ef- fect and the snakeskin for the full- ness below. A new tailored costume was of dark blue worsted with a tiny pin stripe of white and many rows of tiny loops of braid as the only trimming. Pumps with low heels are among the footwear fashions, and one smart pair was of Russian leather with turn- ed soles and the low heels that women find so comfortable. During the spring and early sum- mer, when eggs are abundant and reasonable in price, attention should be given to preserving them for win- ter use. Fresh eggs, properly pre- served in waterglass or lime water, may be kept from 8 to 12 months in excellent condition and used with good results. Eggs laid during April, May, and early June have been found to keep better than those laid later in the season. If satisfactory results are to be ob- tained, the eggs should be fresh and clean, and, if possible, infertile. Eggs that float when placed in the solution are not fresh, and therefore cannot be preserved. When an egg is only slightly soiled, a cloth dampened with vinegar can be used to remove such stains. Under no circumstances should badly soiled or cracked eggs be used for preserving; if put into the jar while dirty they will _spoil, and washing removes a protective coating which prevents spoiling. : Where waterglass cannot be obtain- ed for the preservation of eggs, the lime-water method may be substitu- ted. Dissolve two or three pounds of unslaked lime in five gallons of water that has previously been boiled and allowed to cool, and permit the mixture to stand until the lime set- tles and the liquid is clear. Place ina clean, earthenware crock or jar and pour the clear lime-water into the vessel until the eggs are covered. At least 2 inches of the solution should cover the top layer of eggs. Some- times a pound of salt used with the lime, but experience has shown that in general the lime without the salt is more satisfactory. Fresh, clean eggs, properly preserv- ed, can be used satisfactorily for all purposes in cooking and for the table. To prevent white fabrics, such as tulle or silk evening gowns, choice lace or crepe shawl, from becoming vellow when “packed away sprinkle bie of paraffin freely among the olds. To Sew Flimsy Materials.—Save the white paper that comes with a bolt of ribbon. Roll up tightly and pin. Keep it in the machine drawer, and when you sew chiffon, lace, crepe or any flimsy materials slip it under ma- terial to be sewn, next the feeder. It will prevent puckers and will tear off easily after stitching is done. For the Summer Cottage.—For ta- ble and buffet or sideboard cut white table oilcloth the desired size, mark scallops with silver dollar, cut out. and your scarf or cover is done and very easily kept clean. These may be made to vary in size according to use, such as cloth scarf and even doily. Of course, scallops must vary in size to match the article in use. . The best manicure sold is made by putting a tablespoon of lemon juice in a cup of hot water. It removes stains from the fingers and nails and soft- ens the cuticle about the nails in a satisfactory way. _ Massage will accomplish something in changing the shape of the mouth. Place the first finger on the upper lip just under the nose, put the thumb at one corner of the mouth and the sec- ond finger stationary, drawing the mouth up into a cupid’s bow with the second finger and thumb. Treatment for Bony Neck.—Mas- sage every night with a cream made of two ounces of lanolin and one-half ounce of cocoa butter. Every morn- ing wash in cold water, using a big sponge for the purpose. Just before retiring take a glassful of hot milk. Learn to breathe deeply, go in for vo- cal culture and drink plenty of water. Practice resistance exercises, with the weight at the back of the head. To prevent apples which are to be served raw from becoming discolored, put them, after paring, into a very weak salt solution (1 to 2 per cent), the United States Department of Ag- | A silver knife is | better to use for paring apples, pear, | and other fruits than one of steel, as | the steel frequently discolors the fruit | sometimes leaves a noticeable ! riculture suggests. and flavor.

Flavor with the lig- uor and use when cold; procure sauce Melba coming in bottles. Eggs Stuffed with Cheese.-—Cut six hard boiled eggs in halves cross-wise, remove the yolks, mash them and add | three tablespoonfuls of grated cheese, one tablespoonful of vinegar one-half i teaspoonful of salt, one-half teaspoon- | ful of mustard, a few grains of cay- enne and enough melted butter or ol- ive oil to make a paste. 1 balls, refill the whites and serve with cress or lettuce. ——Put your ad. mm the “Watch- man.” Shape into | CONFUSED. usual fear tend. People in that large part of the United States over which the periodi- cal cicada will appear are disposed, as always, to apprehend greater dam- age than will occur—many times greater. Of the remainder of the United States, large sections are un- der another misapprehension, which is that the insect about to appear is the real locust that sometimes comes in devastating hordes, sweeping across large sections of country and devouring every green thing. The latter misapprehension is, perhaps, the more widespread and disquieting, according to entomologists of the United States Department of Agri- culture. People who have had ex- perience with the real locust and the ruin it works never forget, and the word “locust,” even though it be a misnomer, is likely to be a signal for dread. and misapprehension at- spring—is not a locust at all. It is a cicada, member of the family Ci- cadidae and akin to the dog-day cica- da, or dry weather fly. The real lo- cust, the devastating kind—is a grasshopper. The periodical cicada, miscalled lo- cust, is strictly an American insect. The real locust commonly called grasshopper, occurs in many parts of the world and has had its place in his- tory for thousands of years. There are many species. The Schistocerca Peregrina is the one on which John the Baptist fed. The one that has some- times ravaged the great plains and other sections of the United States is the Melanoplus Spretus a related species. HAVE LITTLE IN COMMON. The real locust or grasshopper and the so-called locust or periodical cicada have very little in common—nothing, in fact, except that both occur in large numbers and both occasion- ly have been used as human food, the former mostly by certain peoples of the near East and the latter by the Indians. The real locust is an indiscriminate eater, grain fields, cornfields, mea- dows, pastures, weed patcehs—every- thing falls before him. The periodi- cal cicada or so-called locust is dainty almost beyond belief. It was long believed that this insect in the adult age took no nourishment at all. On rare occasions it had been observed with its beak apparently thrust into twigs, but it was not until 17 years ago, the last previous appearance of the large brood that comes out this vear that it was definitely determined that this belief was erroneous. The‘“17- year locust” does eat while in the adult stage, but its diet is confined to the juices of plants, sucked out in very small quantities and without causing appreciable injury to plants. So far as periodicy of outbreaks is concerned, the real locust or grass- hopper is a law unto itself. The hordes may appear any year or not at all. The hordes of the “17-year lo- cust” or periodical cicada appear with a regularity that would almost put to shame a government clock. In spite of their extremely slow development under ground, the multiplied millions of individuals reach maturity and emerge almost at the same moment and exactly 17 years from the date of the previous appearance—that is, if they are of the 17-year race. There is a 13-year race of the periodical ci- cada. But it is just as regular, just re" sss Medical. Perfect Confidence BELLEFONTE PEOPLE HAVE GOOD REASON FOR COM- PLETE RELIANCE. Do you know how— To find relief from backache; To correct distressing urinary ills; To assist weak kidneys? Your neighbors know the way— Have used Doan’s Kidney Pills; Have proved their worth in many tests. Here’s Bellefonte testimony. Mrs. B. F. Blair, 108 Howard St., says: “I have used Doan’s Kidney Pills occasionally when suffering from kidney trouble. They certainly have benefitted me in every way, in fact, I haven’t had to use any kidney medi- cine for kidney complaint since I first took Doan’s Kidney Pills. I think there is nothing as good as Doan’s Kidney Pills for people who may be troubled with weak kidneys.” Price 60c, at all dealers.
