a
PLEASANT GAP.
You can’t win a war or a woman if
you go at it with half a heart.
What can you do? Don’t stop to
talk; you can at least clean off your
walk.
If a man studiously looks after his
own, he has steady employment for
his whole time.
Eternity is the place where a lot of
people are stopping who didn’t know
enough to stop in time.
A green goods vender now makes
the rounds of Pleasant Gap every
Wednesday and Saturday, and is lib-
erally patronized and duly appreciat-
ed.
A prominent medical man says that
a good cry often prevents apoplexy.
Well, that's reasonable. A woman’s
tears have prevented many a man
from bursting a blood vessel.
A birthday surprise party was held
on Monday evening at the home of H.
T. Garbrick. Some forty guests par-
ticipated. The congenial occasion will
long be remembered by all interested
parties.
Mrs. Ralp Noll entertained at her
home a host of friends, last Friday
evening. After an interesting and ex-
tended five hundred game lunch was
served. All were delighted with the
occasion.
Mrs. R. S. Melroy has returned to
her home after a serious seige of sick-
ness at the home of her mother-in-
law, at White Haven. Her many
friends are gratified to learn that she
is slowly improving.
Our neighbor, Harry E. Zimmer-
man, is still critically ill. He contin-
ues to be so distressingly weak that
there is little encouragement for a
speedy recovery, much to the regret
of his many friends here.
Mr. and Mrs. Paul Ross, of Linden
Hall, spent Sunday with Mrs. Ross’
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Elmer E.
Swartz. While here they also called
on several other families, intimate
friends and acquaintances.
It is rumored hereabouts that Miss
Chambers, the efficient chief clerk in
the county treasurer’s office, will be a
candidate for County Treasurer in the
approaching conflict. It must be ad-
mitted that for efficiency, capability
and the duties of this important office
she has few equals and no superiors.
It is a great deal easier to tear
down than it is to build up. Those
who have been making from five to
eight dollars a day, and spending it
for worse than vanities, now find
themselves without anything. Are
they the persons to build up a nation,
or even preserve it after it has been
built ?
Mr. J. L. Williams and family, who
resided the past year in the home of
E. W. Zeigler, who recently disposed
of his Pleasant Gap properties, has
rented a house on Howard street,
Bellefonte, where he expects to make
his home in the future. Owing to the
scarcity of rental properties here,
some three or four other families are
arranging to move to Bellefonte.
By actual count we have eighty-one
well developed cases of measles at
Pleasant Gap. Happily none of the
afflicted have developed into anything
of a serious character. All of our
schools, the houses of worship, includ-
ing our Sabbath schools, have been
temporarily closed. One thing that
should be remembered, is that cold
water, one of nature’s best remedies,
should never be denied the patient un-
der any circumstances, as indeed the
craving thirst most plainly indicates,
and to withhold it greatly increases
the suffering and aggravates the dis-
ease. A great precaution necessary
in measles is to exclude light from
the eyes, and protect the child from
exposure to cold ‘air, a current of
which might cause a cold which would
result in inflammation of the kidneys
or the lungs.
Ruthie, the “young lady” I am
rooming with, has a very warm side
for birds, more especially in extreme
cold weather, when the little innocents
are suffering for nourishment. Dur-
ing the recent cold snap when the
mercury was hovering around from
ten to twenty degrees below zero, she
conceived the idea that the dear little
things needed protection. She had a
flock of about twenty little birds until
the cold stage subsided. At the same
time not to be outdone by a fearless
woman, I noticed some four or five
rabbits become quite tame. They fre-
quented our barnyard, garden, and
even ventured onto our front and rear
porches. I left our barn door open
for five nights and before retiring for
the night I placed shelled corn, wheat
and oats inside of the stable door, all
of which disappeared during the night
—you know that charity is placed at
the head of all christian virtues by
St. Paul.
Poets are nearly all smokers, but,
thank goodness, smokers are not
nearly all poets. The characteristics
of the varied smokers are very differ-
ent. The easy going man smokes
only enough to keep his cigar lighted,
and enjoys taking it from his mouth
and watching the blue smoke melting
into thin air. The cool, calculating,
exacting man never releases his ci-
gar from the grip he has on it, and is
seemingly indifferent as to whether it
is lighted or not. The man whose ci-
gar goes out frequently is a whole-
souled, devil-may-care sort of fellow,
with a glib tongue and fond of tell-
ing stories. The lazy man takes his
cigar half way into his mouth and
smokes as though it was a bore to him
to do it. The fop stands his cigar on
end, or as nearly as possible, while
the determined hanger-on style of
man takes a firm hold on it with his
teeth, and smokes as though he meant
business. The smoker who smokes
for the good there is in it selects a ci-
gar to his taste, lights it carefully,
takes it firmly, yet gently, between
his lips, points it either straight
ahead or almost at right angles with
his course and pulls away as though
he enjoyed it. Here you are, take
your choice. The excessive use of to-
bacco in any form cannot heip being
more or less harmful. The most that
can be said in its favor is that it af-
fords a great deal of satisfaction to
those who have become used to it.

RUNVILLE.
Miss Fay Reese spent last Saturday
in Bellefonte doing some shopping.
Dean Walker, of Snow Shoe, spent
Saturday with his sister, Mrs. Silas
Emenhizer.
Harry B. Witherite, of Osceola
Mills, gladdened his parents by a vis-
it on Sunday.
Forden Walker and daughter Beryl,
of Snow Shoe, visited among friends
Saturday and Sunday.
Mrs. Ada Packer and little son War-
ren visited over Sunday at the home
of her sister, Mrs. Lloyd Walker.
Mrs. W. A. Walker and daughter
Goldie, of Butts Station, visited over
Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. J. O. Mec-
Clincy.
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Heaton and
son, of Curtin, visited at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Poorman, on
Sunday.
The W. C. T. U. of this place will
hold their regular meeting at the
home of Mrs. D. F. Poorman, on Sat-
urday afternoon of this week, at 2
o'clock. All members are requested
to be present.
Gray Murray, of Wingate, was in
attendance at revival services Sunday
evening; also Mr. and Mrs. Fred Fish-
er and daughter Loraine; Glenn
Mitchell and Miss Lizzie Fisher, Mr.
and Mrs. Ralph McLaughlin, and John
Fisher, from the same place.
The Ladies Aid social held in the P.
0. S. of A. hall on Saturday evening
was a splendid success. A nicer,
quieter or more enjoyable crowd could
not have been found anywhere. The
ladies in charge desire to extend their
appreciation for both patronage and
order, to all who were present. The
proceeds will increase their treasury
supply to the extent of $23.73.
ORVISTON.
Mrs. Boyd Young, of Romola, is
visiting her sister-in-law, Mrs. Chas.
Young.
Mrs. Peter Vershay, of Newark, N.
Y., is visiting her cousin and wife, Mr.
and Mrs. Louis MacDonald, at the
Centre Brick Inn.
Ruth, the baby daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Newton Cameron, has been quite
ill for a few days with a bad cold and
teething troubles.
Blair and Merrill Young were Sun-
day visitors at the home of their
brother, Hensyl Young. Boyd and
Walter Young are also with the Or-
vistonians once more, employed at the
upper works.
Every one is pleased to see the Cen-
tre Brick and Clay Co. again in oper-
ation. With small children in the
house, it has been pretty close shav-
ing for some folks, and winter is an
especially hard season to be idle. We
hope the work may continue. It is
rather hard to be too critical of the
administration, but it seems as if the
“powers that be” have had almost
enough time to adjust conditions a lit-
tle better than they stand, and have
been standing for over eighteen
months. Let us hope wisdom and jus-
tice will soon prevail; and perhaps
times will improve.

LEMONT.

ness of four weeks with pneumonia.

bells again summoned people to Sun-
day school and church service. Mon-
day morning the public schools also
reopened with a small attendance, ow-
ing to many children still being ill
with measles and under quarantine.
A number of new cases have been re-
ported, but the probabilities are the
measles have about run their course.

! POISONS AND THEIR
ANTIDOTES.
It is well for even the layman—or
laywoman—to know some of the an-
tidotes for the more common poisons,
for so quick is their action that often
the victim may be beyond recovery by
the time the doctor arrives. Here,
then, are a few, arranged alphabetic-
ally for convenience. They do not in
any case give all the remedies, but
only those most likely tobe found in
the ordinary household:
Alcohol—Strong coffee; aromatic
spirits of ammonia; keep the body
warm and head cold.
Analine inks or dyes—Brandy or
whiskey; aromatic spirits of ammo-
nia; keep patient in horizontal pos-
ition and supply plenty of fresh air.
Arsenic, fly paper, Fowler's solu-
tions, etc.—Starch, linseed oil, elm-
bark, mucilage, sweet oil gruel; keep
patient warm and give brandy or
whiskey, to prevent collapse.
_Benzine—Mustard; plenty of fresh
air.
Camphor—Mustard, then castor oil
after vomiting; brandy or alcohol; hot
water bottles, etc.
Carbolic acid—Alcohol, followed by
water; vinegar or white of egg; ap-
ply warmth to extremities.
Carbonic acid—Supply oxygen; cold
water thrown on face; coffee. |
Chloroform—Strong, hot coffee; hot |
and cold douches; restore respiration |
by working arms; if inhaled, not
swallowed, lower head and pull :
tongue forward to admit fresh air.
Cocaine—Mustard and hot water; |
strong decoction of oak bark or wal- |
nut leaves.
Mercury, gold or copper com-
pounds—Mustard; white of egg;
brandy.
Phosphorus, rat poison, matches— |
Mustard; turpentine and water every |
half hour; charcoal and lime water; |
Epsom salts; no oil or fat.
Ptomaines—Mustard; strong tea; |
castor cil.
Silver compounds—Salt and water |
or mustard; warm water; white of |
egg or milk.
Snake bites—Suck wound; inhale
ammonia; give aromatic spirits of am-
monia; work arms if respiration is |
impaired.
Stings of bees, etc.—Ammonia wa-
ter or onion; extract sting; stimu- |
lants.
Strychnine, nux vomica, etc.—Mus-
tard; strong tea; work arms if respi-
ration is impaired. |
Toadstools—Mustard; brandy; keep |
body warm.
Tobacco—Warm water or mustard; '
strong tea; abundance of water; bran-
dy; keep patient recumbent, body |
warm and head cold.
Turpentine—Mustard; water; lin- |
seed oil; elmbark tea; hot fomenta-
tions to loins. i
Zine compounds—Mustard; white of
egg or milk; strong tea; hot fomen-
tations.
Do not choose between these reme-
dies, but apply as many as possible in
the order given. Most of these treat-
ments are only partial, and a doctor
should be sent for at once to supple-
ment the earlier antidotes. The first
object of each is to cause evacuation
or purging. Above all, do not lose
your head, but keep cool, and all will
be well. {

United States Constitution Ordered to
be Reprinted.
The Constitution of the United
States is to be reprinted. This is not
an alarmist statement. It does not
mean that there is to be a new Con-
stitution written. It simply means
that frequently there is published a
reprint of the Constitution of the
| United States, together with citation
of cases decided by the Supreme court
HOOD’S SARSAPAKILLA.
Good Rich
Red Blood
And plenty of it is essential to
health, willing effort, good appetite.
Lack of it, or thin, watery blood,
means illness, rheumatism, catarrh,
humors, headache, wandering pains,
cold hands and feet, decline of health-
tone.
We recommend Hood’s Sarsaparilla
for all these and other symptoms be-
cause it is made from the best ingre-
dients physicians prescribe, combined
by pharmacists who have made a life-
long study of medicines; and best of
all, because it has helped thousands
to have good, rich, red blood and all
the blessings that come from it.
The worth and great economy of
Hood’s Sarsaparilla appeal to every
one. A bottle will last a month. War
tax removed and price reduced. Get
a bottle. For a mild cathartic, get
Hood’s Pills. 67-6

When you feel hopeless and despair
of ever getting back your health, there
is one medicine that you should try
before giving up altogether—Bulgarian
Blood Tea assists nature to flush the
poison-soaked kidney, stir the lazy
liver, gently move the bowels and pu-

it steaming hot at bedtime it breaks
up a bad cold and guards against in-
fluenza, pneumonia or other sickness.
