Now that moving time is approach-
ing, the women are all ready to begin
business. They have everything be-
fore them and know just what is to be
done. With torn and bleeding fingers,
knees sore and stiff from crawling
over carpets, and shuffling step caus-
ed by ill-fitting shoes they are rush-
ing forward. About the only indica-
tion that heaven has a hand in the af-
fair is that the women have every-
thing torn up from cellar to attic.
Like Nasby’s dove, she has not where
to set her foot. The bridges are burn-
ed behind them and she must fight
the engagement successfully. Men
often object to having the house torn
up, but it’s clear they do not take a
philosophical view of the embarrass-
ing situation. This is an opportune
time for the man of the house to have
business engagements away from
home. “The fiercer the storm the
sooner it’s over,” applies beautifully
to moving day; therefore, it is better
to let it rage and spend its fury. And
don’t contrary the women.
I have noticed that a cold potato
has better staying qualities than
sponge cake and ice cream. You may
safely bank on a cold potato, for there
is an element of fact about it not pos-
sessed by the more ostentatious vi-
ands of the elite. Whenever you
leave the rugged courses of life that
are paved with facts, cold, hard and
reliable, you are in danger of chuck
holes, quick-sands and landslides. No
matter how promising the theory,
there is no certainty of it being well
founded. Once in a long time a man
makes a hit by venturing on a theory,
just as a man may succeed in crossing
a railroad trestle in the dark with-
out going through between the ties
and breaking his neck. Every man
has a theory in relation to the matri-
monial question. Some of these are
founded on facts, while many are
founded on wind, or rather puffed up
with wind until they completely ob-
scure the facts. They look nice, and
are exceedingly inviting, if not posi-
tively alluring. The first solid, cold
fact, however, that tears crosswise
through the billowy, sweet scented
and sentimental illusion, lets the wind
out of it, leaving only a thin misshap-
en, useless wind bag. One cold fact,
such as every newly wedded is bound
to encounter during the first year of
married life will rip into shreds and
tatters the most elaborate theory ever
conceived.
We had three sad burials in the
Lutheran cemetery within a few
weeks; Hiram Fetterhoff, of Belle-
fonte; the infant daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Paul Keller, and finally our good
neighbor, Harry Zimmerman. When
the curative powers of nature cease,
medicine is at an end. I often think
of a sentence in Kirkham’s old gram-
mar, and how true it is—“The days
of man are but as grass.” We all
dread death. We regret to part with
loved ones, hence it is that we dread
death, we know that our Redeemer re-
gretted it. His human nature, though
perfectly holy, shrank back from the
agonies of dying. The fear of death,
therefore, in itself is not sinful. It is
a part of our nature to dread it, and
even in the best minds, sometimes, the
fear of it is not wholly taken away
until the hour comes and God gives
them dying grace. We are only so-
journers here. It is necessary that
we should prepare for death and the
world beyond; hence by all the fear of
the dying pang, and by all the hor-
rors of the grave, God would fix the
attention of man on his own death as
a most momentous event, and lead him
to seek the hope of immortality, which
alone can lay the foundatfom for any
proper removal of the fear of dying.
How uncertain is human life; there is
but a breath of air and a beat of the
heart betwixt this world and the next.
The last faint pulsation here is but
the prelude of endless life hereafter;
when the good and the lovely, and
those on whom the heart has rested
with idolizing fondness die, the mem-
ory of their good deeds, like the moon-
beams on the stormy sea, lights up
our darkened hearts, and dispels the
darkness that environs them. Our
advice “prepare to meet thy God,” you
gan then meet your dear ones gone be-
ore.

PENN STATE ANNOUNCES
“ARCHITECTURE” COURSE.
In keeping with the desire to offer
the best of instruction in every part
of the institution, The Pennsylvania
State College has renamed its engi-
neering school department of Agri-
cultural Engineering to ‘“Architec-
ture” and established a new course in
that branch to be known as the course
in architecture. At the same time the
name of the department of Landscape
Gardening was changed to “Land-
scape Architecture.”
The new course in architecture aims
to give Pennsylvania boys a thorough
preparation for a professional career
as architects by means of a balanced
instruction in the practical and artis-
tic phases of architecture. There has
been a great demand for such train-
ing at Penn State, many applicants
each year asking for instruction in
architectural subjects. The course
was introduced to meet the demand
and was made possible by combining
the new curriculum with the existing
course in Architectural Engineering.

ing school, Welieves that in the coming

Penn State Seniors to Raise $50,000
Endowment.
The five hundred members of the
Senior class of The Pennsylvania
State College have voted unanimously
to give the college $100 each, making
a total of $50,000 as their class me-
morial endowment. This action is in
keeping with a custom long establish-
ed at the college, but augmented by
the last two graduating classes when
members made the college the benefi-
ciary in life insurance policies aggre-
gating more than $100,000.
The Penn State class of 1922 has
turned down the insurance scheme for
raising its endowinent, and adopted
a novel method. By the class action,
each member before graduation will
give the five promissory notes of $20
each, one payable each year for the
next five years. In this way the col-
lege will be provided with a fund of
$50,000 in 1927, instead of waiting
twenty years for endowment insur-
ance to mature, as will be the case
with the memorial funds of the 1920
and 1921 classes. The collection of
the notes will be placed in the hands
of the college treasurer, and the col-
lege, rather than an outside organiza-
tion, will benefit by the accumulation
of the funds.
A class committee of fifty men and
women students considered all possi-
ble methods of raising funds for the
memorial, and recommended this plan.

When Her Back Aches
A Woman Finds all Her Eenergy and
Ambition Slipping Away.
Bellefonte women know how the
aches and pains that often come when
the kidneys fail make life a burden.
Backache, hip pains, headaches, dizzy
spells, distressing urinary troubles,
are frequent indications of weak kid-
neys and should be checked in time.
Doan’s Kidney Pills are for the kid-
neys only. They attack kidney dis-
eases by striking at the cause. Here's
proof of their merit in a Bellefonte
woman’s words:
Mrs. Edward Sunday, 244 Lamb St.,
says: “I have used Doan’s Kidney
Pills when suffering from kidney trou-
ble and have always benefitted by
them. I cannot speak too highly of
Doan’s after what they have done for
me.

HOOD’S SARSAPARILLA.
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,
gold hands and feet, decline of health-
one. :
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
