Items of Interest Dished Up for the
Delectation of “Watchman” Read-
ers by a Corps of Gifted
Correspondents.
ORVISTON.
Little Maybelle, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Robert Confer, who has been
quite ill is now improving.
George Lucas, son of Mr. and Mrs.
William Lucas, of the upper works,
has been very ill, but is some better.
Maines Bowes, who was spending
the week-end with his parents in
Blanchard, suddenly become very ill.
Mrs. Bowes and sister, Miss Grace
Croll, hastened to him as soon as pos-
sible after being notified.
Mr. and Mrs. Ola Cyphert, of Sur-
veyor, and sons, LeRoy and William,
are visiting Mr. Cyphert’s parents,
Mr. and Mrs. William Barnhart, at
the lower works. Their many friends
were glad to see them again.
Miss Anna Dietz and brother, John
Dietz, who are both working in Lock
Haven, spent the week-end with their
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Philip Dietz,
of the upper works. Both like their
work and like Lock Haven a lot better
than Orviston.
Mrs. John Hume Sr. made a trip to
Lock Haven last week to see how the
members of her family there were
progressing. She found Mrs. Mac-
Donald some better, Mr. MacDonald
and Miss Mildred Nelson ill. Billie
Hume-Jones says his finger is better.
Miss Bessie Watson, who is employ-
ed in the Lock Haven silk mill, spent
Sunday with her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. John Watson, of the lower
works. Mr. and Mrs. Watson contem-
plate leaving Orviston in the spring
and will take up their future resi-
dence on the old Shank farm at Yar-
nell. We will be sorry to lose so
sterling a neighbor as Mrs. Watson.
It is rumored that quite a number
of Orvistonians expect to move to
Lock Haven in the near future. The
main difficulty is lack of tenement
houses there. Garland Patterson and
Charles Powell have already quit
work here and are now in Lock Ha-
ven. We wish them well. Orviston
is a dirty place to live in, and is far
from being a pretty place, even in
summer, but the people here for the
most part are excellent, christian
folks. We do not blame people for
leaving, although we do not like to see
them go. Always feel like the kid
who is generally left behind, “I want
to go too-00.”
The ladies of the Orviston bible
school’s primary department gave a
millinery social Saturday, the Tth.
The gentlemen bought hats and trim-
med them for the ladies to whom they
stood treat. Some of the hats were
fearfully and wonderfullly put to-
gether, others showed actual taste
and skill. It was one round of mer-
riment. Rev. Merrick was very indus-
trious and trimmed three, but as he
did not like to make any ‘bridges over
noses,” he did not march in the grand
parade but played the violin for the
marchers. A very neat sum was re-
alized. The proceeds are to be used
in buying furniture for the primary
room at the church. Mrs. David Con-
fer, Mrs. Chris Page, Mrs. Carroll
Brown, Mrs. Walter Merrick and Mrs.
Newton Cameron had charge of the
affair. Mrs. Bion Nelson and Miss
Helen Confer ably assisted by Mr.
Cameron served at the tables.
BOALSBURG.
Miss Margaret Dale, of Oak Hall,
spent several days in town last week.
Miss Mary Hazel was ill for a few
days and unable to attend Penn State
High school.
The Knights of Malta will give an
entertainment and Valentine social in
their hall on Friday evening.
Miss Nell Holter went to State Col-
lege on Tuesday, after a ten day’s vis-
it with Mrs. Charles Mothersbaugh.
Samuel Roberts and sons, Paul and
Frank, of Camden, N. J., and Mr. and
Mrs. Hunter, of Pitcairn, spent sev-
eral days among friends in town last
- week.
The Boy Scouts of Centre Hall,
gave a play in Boal hall on Saturday
evening, but because of the drifted
roads and inclement weather only a
few people witnessed the play.
There are quite a number of sick
people in this vicinity. William Moth-
ershaugh has been quite sick with in-
fluenza and Mrs. Mothersbaugh and
son are also confined to the house.
OAK HALL.
Quite a few people in this place are
housed up with influenza.
A daughter was born to Mr. and
Mrs. Walter Korman, on Monday.
Mr. and Mrs. William Folk are re-
joicing over the arrival of a boy, it be-
ing the first in the family
Neff Everts, of Pine Grove Mills,
visited at the home of his daughter,
Mrs. A. C. Peters, on his way to Lan-
caster.
Ernest Wagner, of Akron, Ohio, is
spending an indefinite time at the
home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. H.
A. Wagner.
Mr. and Mrs. Earl Houtz and
daughter Betty, of State College,
spent Sunday with Mrs. Houtz’s par-
ents, Mr. and Mrs. N. J. Rishel, at
this place.
Earl Baird, who has been absent
from home for over two years, return-
ed home last Friday. Karl has been
in the service for some time and his
friends are glad to see him back.

time with her uncle and family, Mr.

tre Hall.
Frank Boyer, of Bellevue, Ohio,
arrived in our village Monday, and
will visit his father, Samuel Boyer,
and other friends.
Mrs. W. H. Phillips went to Phila-
delphia on Friday, where she will vis-
it her daughter and family, Mr. and
Mrs. George McKay.
Frank Stover and nephew, George
Stover, of Centre Mills, spent Sunday

parents, Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Sto-
ver.
Mrs. James Holloway, who had
been quite ill, we are pleased to note,
is very much improved at this writ-
ing. lt is to be hoped she may soon
be quite well.
Lodie King, who had been staying
with her uncle, in Salona, came home
Saturday, suffering with a heavy cold.
Her father, Arthur S. King, came
home with her.
Miss Ruth Musser returned home on
Monday, from Coburn, where she
had spent a week with her two broth-
ers, Sumner and James Musser, who
are in the mercantile business.
Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Bower, after
spending ten days in Bellefonte with
their son, Eben Bower and wife, re-
turned home last Thursday, reporting
having had a very pleasant visit.
The infant son of Mr. and Mrs.
Walter Orwig passed away Sunday.
The child had been frail since birth,
thus in its purity and innocence going
to the garden above to bloom through-
out eternity.
On Saturday Mr. and Mrs. John
Grenoble received the sad news that
their eldest son, Charles Grenoble, had
passed away after one week’s illness,
with double pneumonia. Mr. Greno-
ble has lived in Lewisburg for a num-
ber of years, where he owned a jew-
elry store. He leaves to mourn his
departure his wife and one child; his
parents and a number of brothers and
sisters. The age of the departed one
was almost thirty-six years, just in
the prime of life, thus proving that
the “grim reaper” regards not the
age of man when reaping his harvest.
The funeral was held Wednesday
forenoon at Farmers Mills. The fam-
ily have the deepest and most heart-
felt sympathy of the community in
this sad time.
While the liability of an epidemic
seems remote it is urged that every
care be taken to avoid the possibility
of any outbreak.
The following signs or symptoms
are usually present in the disease:
Fatigue, fever, headache, especially
over the eyes; feeling of a cold in the
head. In addition, there may be
sneezing, chilliness, aching of the
joints, back or limbs; the eyes may
water or become bloodshot; in some
cases there may be vomiting or diar-
rhoea.
Treatment—Send for a physician
at once. While waiting for the doc-
tor to come, observe the following
directions:
Take castor oil, citrate of magne-
sia or some other physic at the start
of the symptoms.
Soak the feet in hot mustard water
ten minutes, using one tablespoon of
mustard in two gallons of water.
Drink a large cupful of hot lemon-
ade, then go promptly to bed. Keep
well covered and stay there for at
least two days after the fever, which
usually subsides on the fourth or fifth
day has disappeared.
The following precautions should be
taken to prevent the spread of the
disease: Wash the face and hands be-
fore eating. Gargle the throat with
salt and water, using one-quarter of
a teaspoonful of salt dissolved in a
cup of water.
Do not use the same knife, spoon,
fork or dish that has been used by
another person unless it has been
thoroughly washed in hot water.
Avoid restaurants and soda water
fountains where glasses and spoons
are not washed in boiling water.
Hold a handkerchief over the mouth
while sneezing or coughing.
Do not spit on the sidewalk or any
other public place.
Do not apply the mouth to the
mouthpiece of a telephone.
Get plenty of fresh air, but avoid
draughts.
Why Flounders Have Blind Side.
Of “flatfishes” there are a number
of species. Some of them are called
“flounders,” and among them are the
true “soles,” so highly esteemed by
the epicure.
The giant of their tribe is the hali-
but, which is rarely found in water
off our own coasts, being a true Arc-
tic fish. It attains a weight of 400
pounds.
Like all other flatfishes, the halibut
has a “blind side.” That is to say,
both of its eyes are on one side of its
head. Now, why should this be the
case?
A baby flounder has its eyes prop-
erly arranged, one on each side of the
head.
As the little halibut, or infant floun-
der, grows bigger, its left eye gradu-
ally grows over toward the right side
of the fish, until at length both its
eyes are on that side.
But this, from its point of view, is
highly desirable, inasmuch as it will
spend its life lying on the bottom,
mostly, and on its left side. In this
position, and with both eyes on the
right side of its head, it is “okch.”

not what they do.”
Miss Helen Grenoble, a former em-
ployee of the Pleasant Gap knitting
mills, left for Williamsport some
eight months ago, when the activities
of our knitting mill ceased to exist,
shoe factory. Miss Helen is of an ex-
tremely industrious disposition, not a
slacker, and seems determined to in-
crease her bank account, and appar-
ently makes good in anything in
which she engages. She recently made
a brief visit here among her numer-
ous friends, all of which was highly
appreciated by our community.
Our good, energetic Methodist min-
ister, Rev. Piper, has now in progress
his annual protracted meeting. He
has about half a dozen seekers, who
seem eager to better their ways and
prepare for eternity. Some illiterate
people say that we have already too
many church members and not enough
chirstians. There is no excuse for
such pretenders. We should remem-
ber that Blessed are they who so im-
prove life’s little space, that the au-
tumn of existence and even the hand
of death may approach without excit-
ing any emotion or a regret or shade
of fear. Religion is a good thing to
possess. “In Heaven there is rest.”
There will be rest from sin, from sor-
row and from sickness; rest from
troubles, and trials, and temptations;
there will be no false or treacherous
friend, no deceitful associates, no bit-
ter enemies. There the mind shall no
longer be oppressed by cares and anx-
ieties, nor overwhelmed with difficul-
ties; there will be no sleepless nights,
no wearisome days, no secret sighs,
no bitter groans, no dread of death,
no dark and gloomy grave; but all
will be undisturbed repose—all will be
peace, happiness and love. A few
more days only and the rose fades
from the cheek, and our forms mingle
with the dust. May success attend
Rev. Piper’s unbounded efforts.
Mr. Jack Noll is the owner of a
very intelligent collie dog. Twice a
day he takes a stroll all over Pleasant
Gap and calls at almost every house
in the village. Being of a very friend-
ly disposition his visits are welcomed
by the entire community. Occasional-
ly some jealous dog atacks “Laddie,”
with the result that the offender as a
rule always comes out second best in
the encounter. A good, intelligent dog
has rights which a man is bound to re-
spect. The dog has its place in the
world, and is entitled to the respect
due to its position. It is true, there
are bad dogs, but not as many, when
all things are considered, as there are
bad men. The dog is man’s natural
attendant, not only his attendant, but
his friend, his companion. Man may
have warm and devoted friends, but
none who will follow him through
thick and thin, honor and dishonor,
glory and shame, luxurious wealth
and pinching poverty as will his dog.
The fidelity of human friends may be
doubted, but that of the dog is un-
shaken forever. Its cares are just as
loving and honest in the meanest
home as in the palace. Neither
plague, nor scourge, nor loathsome
disease will scare this born friend
from the bedside of its master. No
storm so fierce, no danger so great, no
privation so dreadful as to drive it
away. Even kicks, blows, abuse,
starvation and heartless neglect are
forgiven in a moment and remember-
ed no more. Where in all the world
of life can this fidelity be equalled.

Comes from Sicily.
Oils of orange peel, lemon peel and
and secured a lucrative position in a | Pergomat peel—the last derived from
a fruit nearly related to the lime, and
used in perfumes and colognes—come
to this country from Sicily.
Each fruit is cut in halves, the pulp
scooped out, and the rinds squeezed
by skillful hand pressure into sponges,
the oil-containing cells being thereby
ruptured. When a sponge is soaked
its contents are transferred to a pail.
These cells are just beneath the
outer skin. If you chew a piece of
orange peel, you will feel a peculiar
burning sensation, due to the oil set
free in your mouth. The bartender
who, as a final touch: to a cocktail,
gives a twist to a scrap of lemon. peel,
thereby contributes to: the drink a
minute quantity of lemon oil.
The fruits used for oil extraction
are the “culls,” which for one reason
or another are unfit for market. In
Sicily the requisite labor costs only
thirty cents a day; and this is exactly
why we import these oils, because
they are much cheaper than we have
been able to make them in California.
