Last Sunday as Mr. Detwiler, of

road in his Ford truck, he lost control
of the steering wheel in the neighbor-
hood of Rock Springs and crashed in-
to a post. He was thrown through
the windshield and over a fence, and
those who saw the accident surely
thought the man was killed outright.
He was picked up and carried to the
nearest house where an examination
disclosed the fact that his injuries
were not even serious. His truck was
badly wrecked.

events of the season was held last

and had a number of able assistants.
About one hundred guests were pres-
ent and the interior of the club house
presented a charming picture with its
elaborate decorations, beautifully
gowned ladies and the two large ta-
bles lavishly spread with all the sea-
sonable delicacies. Everybody pres-
ent had a delightful time and it was a
late hour when the guests took their
departure for their various homes.

CONDO.—Sunday morning about
eight o'clock the death angel again
visited our quiet village and entered
the home of ex-Sheriff John P. Condo,
taking the wife, who was devoted to
her husband and family. Mrs. Condo
has been a sufferer for about one year,
and for a considerable length of time
her ailment baffled her physician, but
during the summer her trouble was
diagnosed as Bright's disease. About
ten days ago there came a marked
change for the worse and she sank
rapidly until Sunday when her spirit
took its flight. She will be greatly
missed in her home and in her neigh-
borhood, for she was a devoted wife,
mother and neighbor. She was a life-
long and consistent member of the
United Evangelical church and tried
to serve her Master as she best knew
how. She leaves her sorrowing hus-
band, seven grand-children, one broth-
er and several sisters. In November,
1906, her son, Harry Condo, of York,
died, and in: October, 1920, her last
child, Mrs. John R. D. Bowersox, of
East Prospect, Pa., passed away, leav-
ing the parents childless, except for
their adopted daughter, Lucretia.
Funeral Wednesday morning at 9:30
o’clock, burial in the Reformed ceme-
tery.
Not now, but in the coming years,
It may be in the better land,
We'll read the meaning of our tears,
And there, sometime we'll understand.
Then trust in God through all the days
Fear not for He doth hold thy hand.
Tho dark thy way, still sing and praise;
Some time, some time, we'll understand.
God knows the way. He holds the key,
He guides us with unerring hand!
Some time with tearless eye we'll see;
Yes, there, up there, we'll understand.

Good Advice
A Bellefonte Citizen Gives Informa-

When you suffer from backache,
Headaches, dizziness, nervousness,
Feel weak, languid, depressed,
Have annoying urinary disorders;
Do you know what to do?
Some Bellefonte people do.
Read the statement that follows.
It’s from a Bellefonte citizen.
Testimony that can be investigated.
Mrs. Fred K. Houser, 10 Potter St.,
says: “I have used Doan’s Kidney
Pills and found them very beneficial,
in fact, Doan’s Kidney Pills cured me
of very serious kidney trouble. I
gladly recommend Doan’s te any one
bothered with weak kidneys.”

HOOD’S SARSAPARILLA.
Chronic Catarrh
Follows Repeated Colds When Blood
is Impure.
Your body suffering from a cold
does not properly attend to digestion
and elimination. As a result your
blood becomes impure. It inflames
the mucous membrane and brings
about that condition in which chronic
catarrh occurs and on which it de-
pends.
Purify your blood, make it clean, by
taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and if
your bowels are not healthfully ac-
tive, take Hood’s Pills. These medi-
cines have relieved and prevented
thousands of cases of chronic catarrh.
Economy is one of the strong points
of Hood’s Sarsaparilla—100 doses in
a bottle. Why not get it today. 65-49 65-26 C. M. PARRISH, Drugglst, Bellefonte
