his former home at Watsontown.

handy when you want to strike a
match to light your pipe.

and Bellefonte. She returned home

John Herman Jr. and his estimable
wife, now of Philadelphia, spent the
Holiday vacation among their numer-
ous friends at Pleasant Gap, Belle-

delight by their many friends and old
associates.
The Whiterock lime works have re-
sumed operations after a week’s shut-
down. A sligh reduction in wages
was adopted, owing to existing cir-
cumstances. The sensible portion of
the employees are satisfied to accept
the inevitable without a murmur; they
realize that the demand for labor is
at a low ebb.
Guard Dean, of the western peni-
tentiary, was married yesterday to
Miss Margaret Dunklebarger, a most
estimable young lady of Pleasant Gap.

the Dunklebarger sisters who have
embarked in that other state—the
state of matrimony—the past year.
We are glad to note that our es-
teemed neighbor, T. E. Jodon, is rap-
idly convalescing and has for the past
few days been able to leave his bed
and circulate about the house. Tom-
my was very seriously ill for the past
three months, but is now, from appar-
ent indications, speedily recovering,
which will be gratifying news to his
numerous friends and acquaintances.
Ex-County Commissioner Harry
Zimmerman is now the happy possess-
or of two of the finest teams of horses
in the county. They are young, very
attractive and of the dapple gray spe-
cies. In fact they are unexcelled
beauties. Harry is a lover of fine
horses, and it is alleged that even
when a young man he was regarded
as a superb judge of horses and wom-
en.
The Pleasant Gap patrons of our
well managed buss line were highly
favored on Monday last when quite a
prepossessing young lady manipulat-
ed the wheel. She was practical and
efficient, and the change from over-
alls to petticoats was highly appreci-
ated by men and women patrons, more
especially so by the young men, who
said it was simply grand. Of course,
now that women are on an equality
vith the men, changes of this char-
ter are anticipated. :

Beech Creek, spent Chirstmas with
their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Philip

and sister are also sick with whooping
cough.

summoned to Washington by the ill-
ness of Miss Sara Budinger, a sister
of Mrs. Harvey. It is to be hoped
there is no serious illness, as Miss
Sdinger is well known and well liked
ere.
Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Slaterbeck spent

Mrs. Thompson Spangler, at Eagle-
ville. Returning home Mrs. Slater-
beck brought her little grandson,

00; was raised by the two patriotic or-
ers.
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Redfield, of
Covington, Pa., spent the Christmas
season with their daughter, Mrs. Wal-
ter T. Merrick. They returned home
on Monday, as Mr. Redfield is editor
of the Covington Sun, and duties he
could not shirk awaited him. Come
again, friends, as there are many who
would love to see you, who knew you
long ago.
Miss Louise Holden, the primary
teacher, spent the Holidays with her
parents at Clearfield. We hope she
found the “Good Saint” liberal and
kind. Mrs. Rebecca Glossner, the ef-
ficient teacher of room No. 2, spent
the Holidays with her daughter, Miss
Margaret Glossner, at Blanchard. Our
former primary teacher, Miss Helen
Confer, of Romola, spent the New
Year's with Rev. and Mrs. Walter T.
Merrick, and had a lovely time.
Married.—In their own little home,

Saturday, December 18th, by Rev.
Walter T. Merrick, John Bland, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Bland, of Howard,
and Miss Viola Walker, daughter of

Bland is an excellent housekeeper, for
so young a woman, and John is to be
envied. John is an ex-service man
and deserves good fare.

It’s Foolish
to Suffer
When so Many Bellefonte People are
Pointing the Way Out.
You may be brave enough to stand
backache or headache or dizziness.
But, if in addition urination is disor-
dered,, look out! If you don’t try to fix
your sick kidneys, you may fall into
the clutches of dangerous disease be-
fore you know it. But, if you live
more carefully and help your kidneys
with Doan’s Kidney Pills, you can
stop the pains you have and avoid fu-
ture danger as well. Don’t experi-
ment—use the remedy Bellefonte peo-
ple are publicly endorsing. Read this
case:
Mrs. Clair Miller, 231 E. Bishop
St., Bellefonte, says: “Doan’s Kid-
ney Pills have been a household rem-
edy with us for years. I have used
them at different times with satisfac-
tory results. I am glad to recom-
mend Doan’s Kidney Pills.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get

pleasantly surprised on New Year’s
evening by their friends. Mrs. Dela-
ney received a nice lot of household
treasures, dear to the careful little
home-keeper. The inclemency of the
weather kept a number away, but the
house was pretty well filled with as
fine a bunch of young people as one
would wish to meet. There was
some dancing, and dainty refresh-
ments were served, and the young
folks voted Jim an ideal host and his
wife a fine hostess.

HOOD’S SARSAPARILLA.
Your Rheumatism
Remove Its Cause by Purifying Your
Blood.
One of the most important duties
of your system is to burn up certain
substances no longer of use in your
body. One is uric acid, now general-
ly held to be the cause of rheumatism.
It inflames the joints, stiffens the mus-
cles, causes pains, aches and lameness.
The system is helped to dispose of
this troublesome substance, and rheu-
matism is permanently relieved, by
Hood’s Sarsaparilla, the one true
blood purifier. It is aided in many
cases by Hood’s Pills, which in small
doses are a gentle laxative, in larger
doses an active cathartic. A grand
course of treatment, economical an ef-
fective. 66-1
