How to Plant Apple Trees.
Apple trees should be planted 25 to
80 feet apart each way and plum and
peach trees 16 to 20 feet apart. One-
year-old trees should be selected for
planting, although in the case of the
apple, sour cherry and pear, two-year-
old trees will usually transplant suc-
cessfully if they have not grown too
large. The trees may be planted
either in the spring or fall. They
should be set just about as deep as
they stood in the nursery. As soon
as they are planted the tops should
be pruned back somewhat.
Unshaken
Testimony
Time is the test of truth. And
Doan’s Kidney Pills have stood the
test in Bellefonte. No Bellefonte res-
ident who suffers backache, or annoy- |
ing urinary ills can remain uncon-
vinced by this twice-told testimony.
Mrs. J. F. Thal, 23 N. Thomas St.,
Bellefonte, says: “I suffered with
backache and severe pains through
my kidneys. I had headaches and
dizzy spells, when I first got up in the
morning. * My kidneys acted irregu-
larly. My attention was called to
Doan’s Kidney Pills and I heard of
so many being benefited by their use
that I procured a box at the Green
That one box remov-
ed the backache, the headaches and
dizzy spells left and my kidneys be-
came regular and I felt better in
every way. 1 cheerfully recommend
Doan’s to any one who suffers as I
did.” (Statement given October 21;
1907).
On October 18, 1918, Mrs. Thal
said: “I am very glad to confirm my
former endorsement of Doan’s Kidney
Pills. Today I am a well woman and
to recommend Doan’s is a pleasure.”

Mrs. Margaret Jones, who has been
working in Lock Haven, was home
with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Hume,
Saturday. She was accompanied by
Louis McDonald, who just arrived
from France about a week ago. Louis
was a long-time friend of the late Mr.
Jones.
One of our hucksters, Jake Welch,
having grown tired of single cussed-
ness, decided life was hardly worth
living without a good partner, so took
unto himself a nice wife, Miss Maude
Shields. We all wish him many years
of happiness with the lady of his
choice and hope all their troubles will
be little ones.
Edward Condo, the second son of
Mr. and Mrs. Ira Condo, while wrest-
ling with Frank Jodon, at the Hayes
Run fire brick works, was thrown
heavily on his back and was rendered
unconscious. Dr. Kurtz was called |
and pronounced his case very serious. |
For a time it was thought he could :
not recover, but he is some better, so |
we have heard, but far from well.
Mrs. Lizzie Baith, who has been
employed as housekeeper by Harvey
Young, of Romola, died of heart fail-
ure, aggravated by sunstroke. She
leaves her father, three sisters, Mrs.
James Confer, Mrs. Roy Confer, Gol-
die Baith; two brothers and a child
one year old. She was about thirty
years old. Mrs. Baith was a good
worker, always willing and ready to
do her daily tasks cheerfully, but has
been feeling badly for some time, al-!
though she did not complain, and no |
one realized that her condition was at |
all serious. Mrs. George Heverly is |
kindly mothering the motherless babe. |
Some unregenerate son of Bellze-
bub has it in for the Hume family of |
late, but who it is we do not like to |
say for fear of hurting some one who |
is dependent on the dire wretch. Re- |
cently, the aforesaid wretch caught |
Billie Jones’ pet rooster, cut off his |
spurs, pitted him against a rooster in i
good shape, then tossed the poor bird |
into the creek, and a few days later |
the poor fellow came home with a |
broken leg. The next misfortune was
the poisoning of the family dog, Yip-
py, who was well known as the kind- |
est dog among children, very wise |
and with many nice tricks, being al-
most as well trained as a circus dog.
The poor doggy suffered three days, |
dying Tuesday afternoon. Yippy be- |

sick spell and a bruised arm. Alex- |
ander, who is working in the ship |
yard at, Newark, N. J.. has been ill |
and the parents received a letter from |
their son, Lieut. Hume, that he has
lost his left eye and his young wife
had her left arm badly scalded. Mrs.
Jones almost lost a finger in the Hip-
ple planing mill at Lock Haven, and
as a result has a very sore finger.
Mrs. Hume Sr. says she feels as if
she were sitting on the edge of a
thunder cloud, hanging on to a ragged
corner.

DOCTOR ADVISED AN OPERA-
TION.
After Two Years of Suffering Mrs. J.
C. Challis, of Elwood City, Took
Goldine Instead and is Well.
Mrs. J. C. Challis, of the Fourth
ward, is so thankful for what Goldine,
the famous remedy, has done for her,
that she wants all her friends to
know its real worth.
“For two years I suffered,”
Mrs. Challis. “The trouble started in
my side. It became worse and I call-
ed a doctor. He couldn’t tell what
was wrong and advised an operation.
My stomach gave me much trouble,
and I had severe pain in my head and
side. I did not like the idea of an op-
eration, and tried many different rem-
edies, but got no relief. Finally I
bought a bottle of Goldine and re-
markable results followed. Relief
came almost instantly. I now feel
fine, and have no trouble whatever; it
certainly did wonders for me.”
If you are troubled with billious-
said
ness, coughs, cramps, dizziness,
drowsiness, gall stones, headaches,
hysteria, nervousness, indigestion,
sluggish liver, malaria, neuralgia,
rheumatism, skin trouble, or diseases
peculiar to women, go at once to
Green’s Pharmacy and secure a bot-
tle of Goldine. It has been used with
success in all of these troubles and
many others. 25-1t
