Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Shank spent
Mrs.

Mrs. Margaret Jones, of Lock Ha-
ven, spent a few days at home with
her parents, but as she is under the
doctor’s care had to return Saturday

Mrs. John Hume Sr. left for Lock

ant trip, as the weather was mild and
sunny.
Edward Johnson, who had his arm
hurt about two weeks ago, is still un-
able to be at his daily work. He was
very fortunate that his injury was no
worse, as he could have easily had it
torn off, if all accounts are true. As
it was, he sustained a badly sprained
arm. He had been firing the engine
that hauls clay from the clay mines,
bt we did not learn all the particu-
ars.
all know, and hope he will soon be
able to kick around as jolly as ever.
We are wondering if “Teddy,”
otherwise William A. Walker, and
Alexander Hume, otherwise known as
“Scotchy,” are going to locate a gold
mine on the mountain. Such excuses
as the two pals have to crawl over the
hills after a big night's work—al-
though “Jigger,” otherwise Mr. Wel-
lers, says he has to sing love songs to
them to keep them from falling over,
dead asleep. Once they went for
grapes, and the foxes had beaten
them to it, and later they took a trip
to find something else in the food line,
and I saw them come in empty hand-
ed. Believe me, those two have either
located a gold mine or another Kim-
berly, and we will all be getting a
look in, as they are not, selfish. only in
being so quiet. It is a good thing
that Alex’s mamma and Teddv’s wife
are patient, or they sure would find
out. Any way, they are both tem-
perate so we know they are not moon-
shining. It really must be a gold
mine. We are wondering what their
next trip will be for, bears, or tigers,
or squirrels. Trust them, they’ll find
a good plausible excuse.

Interview
GORDON, BELLEFONTE,
TELLS HER EXPERIENCE.
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 citi-
zen.
| Mzs. 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-
yings 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. 1
have had no return of the backache or
| kidney disorders. This medicine
surely has my gratitude for the last-
ing benefit it brought me.” State-
ment given April 22, 1914).
On October 19, 1918, Mrs. Gordon
said: “I gladly confirm my previous
statement for Doan’s Kidney Pills, as
I certainly have found them to be ali
that is claimed for them. Boan’s
Kidney Pills cured me, for which I
am very thankful.”

In Memoriam.—On Thursday of
last week our community was thrown
into a pall of sadness when word was
received of the death of our beloved
friend, and formerly a neighbor, Mrs.
Tacy Park, who at the time of her
death resided at Peru.
Mrs. Park was the youngest daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. James Lucas, of
this place,; her father preceded her to
the grave two years ago. She was 30
years and 16 days old, and was mar-
ried to Mr. James Park, of Snow
Shoe, nine years ago. They lived a
devoted and happy life, always kind
and congenial with those with whom
| they came in contact. She was con-
| verted when a young girl and was a
| faithful Sabbath school worker until
| her duties which often detain mother
{in the home, hindered her, yet always
| displaying a most beautiful christian
| character. She was born and reared
| in this place and was dearly loved. by
all who kenw her.
She leaves to mourn their loss her
husband, three small children, James
Jr., aged 7; Robert, aged 5, and Mil-
! dred, aged 3, and was buried with her
infant babe in her arms. Two infant
babes preceded her. She is also sur-
vived by her mother, one brother,
Claude A. Lucas, of Snow Shoe, and
one sister, Mrs. Ella Houseman, of
Altoona, as well as a host of friends
who are grief stricken over her early
demise. The funeral took place from
her late home on Sunday morning at
10 o’clock, her pastor, Rev. J. C. Erb,
officiating, and her remains were laid
to rest in the Advent cemetery.

The Condition of Many Men, Women

To be well and strong and to have
a good healthy color, be sure to try
the real iron tonic Peptiron, by which
many men and women have been
greatly benefitted. Peptiron is an ex-
cellent combination of iron and man-
ganese with nux, celery, pepsin and
other tonics and digestives, and is
"made with special reference to the
needs of pale, weak, nervous suffer-
ers. It is both medicine and food for
the blood and nerves, and is signally
effective in the treatment of anemia
and neurasthenia.
“My daughter is taking Peptiron
for nervousness, and feeling better.”

Will Have Supplies Cut.
New York.—Candy manufacturers, !
soda fountains and other non-essen- |
tial users of sugar will have their {
supplies cut to one-half the amounts !
they received last year when the dis-
tribution «committee of the United
Ste sugar equalization board meets
ere.
Plans for putting into effect the re-
turn of war-time distribution decid-
ed upon by the committee at a meet-
ing last week in order to relieve the
present sugar shortage will be work- |
ed out at the meeting, and it was said |
by a member of the committee that |
heavy cuts in the supplies for confec- |
tioners are absolutely necessary in or-
der to supply household needs.
_ Government records on distribution
in 1918 will be used as the basis for
distribution during the remaining
months of the year. Soft drink man-
ufacturers and confectioners, for in-
stance, who were allotted 500 barrels
of sugar a month during October,
November and December, 1918, will be
given half that amount during those
months this year. It is possible, it is
said, that it may be necessary to
make the allotments even smaller
than 50 per cent.
“We are going to look out first for
the individual householder,” a mem-
ber of the committee said. After his
wants have been satisfied, if there is
any sugar left, we propose to distrib-
ute it on the basis of last year’s dis-
tribution. Bakers will be given 70
per cent. of the amount furnished
them last year; confectioners will get
50 per cent. and other non-essential
users will get somewhere between 25
| per cent. and 50 per cent.

Increased Production
is the only remedy for
high prices. During
the five years of war production of necessi-
ties decreased while consumption increased.
The world is disturbed by these extraordi-
nary conditions, and the only remedy is more
work—increased production. Work that will
produce two pigs instead of one, two yards
of muslin or two pairs of shoes.
Distributors Make Great Profits
when high prices prevail, but
The Mass of the People Suffer
The remedy lies with them and not with the
government, for governments cannot change
