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.
Tha 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
PLEASANT GAP.
Gilbert Noll, of Derry, was home
over Sunday.
Leonard Brooks, of Altoona, is
spending a few days with his father.
Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Melroy enter-
tained Dr. Langley and his bride, of
Williamsport, the past week.
We have three cases of scarlet fe-
ver at the Gap. Happily, none of the
unfortunates are seriously ill.
We have excellent sleighing at
Pleasant Gap, but unfortunately, there
ceems to be a shortage of sleighs,
since the automobile is “monarch of
all it surveys” on the public highway.
Barber Crissman has purchased one
of W. G. Runkle’s large brick houses
adjacent to the Lutheran church here,
fronting on the new state road. The
consideration was $2800, which, owing
to the fabulous cost of building, is re-
garded as a fair price.
When I think of the number of
thoughtless, unphilosophical young
people there are running around the
Gap, 1 almost tremble for fear of
what may come upon us. None of
them seem to have the least idea of
what they are here for, nor proper
conception of life.
Rev. Piper has closed his revival
meeting at Axe Mann and justly feels
highly elated, since twenty-five con-
versions were added to the credit of
the distinguished minister. On Sun-
day evening he started his annual
revival at Pleasant Gap, and it is to be
hoped he will succeed as well in sav-
ing souls here as he did at Axe Mann;
but that is a doubtful proposition.
Rev. C. C. Shuey is very ably assist-
ing him.
Quite an interesting birthday - cele-
bration was pulled off on Saturday
evening last at the home of Maurice
Mulfinger. Mrs. Mulfinger managed
the scheme admirably. She invited a
bunch of neighbors and personal
friends, and a genuine but agreeable
surprise to Maurice was the result.
Twenty-five people were present and
a most enjoyable time was had by all.
The presents from admiring friends
were numerous, appropriate and use-
ful. Several hours were spent in sin-
cere congratulations after which an
elaborate lunch was served, which was
highly enjoyed by all. After a three
hour jollification all left for their
homes, delighted with the evening’s
ceremonies. God grant that every
succeeding year may see this happy
couple increase in all that is charm-
ing in body and mind.
Roy Barnes, son of Mrs. Robert
Barnes, returned home recently, after
having been absent from the Gap for
over twelve years. In 1810 Roy ac-
cepted a position at Fort Wayne, Ind.,
with the Fort Wayne system of the P.
R. R. lines west as accountant. He
served in that capacity until 1819,
when he was transferred to the Fort
Wayne station, Federal street, Pitts-
burgh. He served there for nearly a
year when he was prostrated with the
flu, when he returned home for a short
time, or until he had fully recovered.
The automobile business appealed to
him and he was offered an account-
ant’s position with the Prentiss Mo-
tor Co., Cleveland. Everything pass-Y
ed off sub rosa in his new position.
The capacity of the works was 35 cars
daily but the slump in the auto traffic
came, the capacity of 35 cars daily
went down to three or four cars daily
and finally a shut-down was necessi-
tated, and Roy is spending his leisure
ye with his mother and old associ-
ates.
_ The renting outlook at the Gap, ow-
ing to the shortage of houses, is worse
here this season than was ever known
heretofore. The moving season is
fast approaching when many families
will change their abodes, either by
compulsion or voluntarily. Apparent-
ly the question of housing is of vital
interest. There seems to be no hous-
es for rent. The outlook for renters | gjckness. Sold by all Druggists.
who are obliged to move April first
is simply desperate. We should have
and need a number of new houses to
accommodate the demand. A limited
number of homes have been sold at
the Gap recently, making the situa-
tion still more gloomy for renters
as most of the purchasers came here
from outside districts for self-
occupancy, thus making the situation
for renters more critical. There was
a movement on foot recently among
a coterie of citizens to build twenty
or twenty-five new houses, as we have
a number of lots available for build-
ing purposes. But they have aban-
doned the idea for the present, or un-

Saving the Calves.
In spite of much agitation, nothing
has been done in this country to save
the future herds of cattle by prohib-
iting the indiscriminate slaughter of
immature calves. But the Corpora-
tion of Calcutta, India, as the result
of the efforts of the Humanitarian
League, has forbidden the killing of
all calves except such as may be used
for obtaining vaccine virus. It is a
conservative estimate that from five
