PLEASANT GAP. The robins are visiting us in profu- sion, but the frisky bluebirds are late in putting in their appearance. Mrs. Lee Sampsel and her interest- ing little daughter Margaret, spent a very pleasant day recently with her brother-in-law Rice’s family, at Rock- view. Our enterprising townsman, Mr. Ray Noll, paymaster of Whiterock quarries, has purchased the Abram V. Miller estate farm adjacent to Pleas- ant Gap. The entire tract consists of almost four hundred acres, three- fourths of which is well covered with prop and chemical timber. Ray is an up-to-date, practical, shrewd business man, and will come out a winner an this extensive business deal. Some of the officials of our state road department had a meeting in Bellefonte last week. Among other pending operations it was decided to re-surface and widen the College state road from the summit to State Col- lege in the near future. George R. Hughes, of Axe Mann, was appointed road repairman for the Bellefonte and Lewistown state road with O. C. Brooks, of Pleasant Gap, as his as- sistant. What strange infatuation is it that tempts men to drink alcoholic liquors to excess, when facts and reason, and nature and religion, are continually warning them of the inevitable train of disasters and evils consequent thereon? When our senses warn us of the immediate danger of a preci- pice close at hand, have we not pru- dence to avoid it, clinging to life as we do, with a cowardly tenacity? Why have men not sufficient sense and consistency to forsake the miserable, foolish indulgence of drinking poison? Of all the foes of the working class this is the deadliest. They fully real- ize their folly in this respect. With anguish and dispair they often say, “one glass more and I have done.” Beware of that one glass; it has led thousands to ruin and finally to death. It’s a curse. Probably the happiest girl in Ben- ner township on Friday night last was Miss Cora Peters, it being the occa- sion of her birthday anniversary, and a delightful party was given in her honor by her numerous friends and admirers. The event, a genuine sur- prise to the young lady, was celebrat- ed at the home of Mr. Joseph Peters. Among the participants were Mr. and Mrs. Shuey and Mrs. Clarence From, of State College; Mr. and Mrs. Earl Rimmey, of Pleasant Gap; the Mec- Clellan sisters, of Bellefonte; Miss Mary Boyle and Miss McClellan, of Milesburg; Mary and Florence Samp- sel, Miss Grace*Breon, Miss Nellie Pe- ters, Harry Garner and Clarence Rip- ka. Miss Cora was the recipient of numerous and appropriate presents. Dancing and innccent card games were highly appreciated by all pres- ent. A superb luncheon was served. The entire entertainment was highly enjoyed by all who were fortunate enough to be present. Recently while at the postoffice, two rather prepossessing High school girls, evidently mistaking me for an information bureau, asked me to please write something on love in my next epistle to the “Watchman.” I told them they should appeal to some older person than the writer, one more experienced in the soft topic. When good looking girls say “please” what are you going to do about it? So here it goes. There has been more written on love than any other topic since the world began, and as the population of the world increases and the inhabit- ants thereof grow in knowledge, more and more will be written on it. The simpering school-girl sends love mis- sives to the boy she fancies most; the little Miss just budding into woman- hood can think of no other topic for an essay; the young lady who has donned long dresses (if they exist) and stands on the threshhold of the society world, writes of it in all her let- ters to schoolmates and friends, the la- dy wo begins to cast furtive glances over her shoulder to see what she has passed, writes in the sands as she pen- sively, yet impatiently, waits to be fatally wounded by Cupid; the spin- sler writes page upon page to prove it a myth, a delusion, a snare, herself be- ing witness that there is no such thing; the trembling hand of age writes of it as a silvered page that is ever bright and fresh, even when oth- er pages have grown dim and musty. Thus from childish youth to childish age love is woman’s dearest theme. Milton gave woman credit for won- drous power over man. Adam was in- fluenced by it. So it is yet, and so it will ever be. Before Adam was, love was; and when the last of Adam’s race shall have departed, love will still walk the cold, dead earth, fearful that | some living thing may have escaped | the general doom and exists unloved. As a rule, men are bigger fools in matters pertaining to love than wom- en. Stop and think a little. Do you not know of more men who have com- mitted suicide on account of love af- fairs than women? Have you not known of more men making spectacles of themselves on account of a cross in the love wires, than women? Sta- tistics show that there are more men sent to insane asylums by that con- scienceless little busybody, Cupid, than ! women? Can you think just now of as many women of your acquaintance who have gone to the bad on account of love as you can of men? As wom- en are particularly loud in the clam- ors for justice at this time, would it not be a strong point in their favor to show that in this matter of love they are stronger-minded and more level- headed than men? Much of this stuff that passes current for love is noth- te i 5,000,000 acres of waste land in the ing but sickness. In many respects it suddenly, debilitating both mind and body and making the victim misera- ble. The love sick swain is just as pitiable a sight as the sea sick tourist. Neither cares if the sun ever rises or sets again. They want to die, and oc- casionally when nature refuses to ac- commodate them they take the affair into their own hands. For genuine love the Homeopathic system of treat- ment is the only one that will ever prove availing. Love is the disease and love the remedy. There are some cases where a dose of blue mass or some other efficient liver regulator is indicated. This may seem silly, but it isn’t half as silly as it seems; it is a positive fact. Then there are dys- peptics, who think themselves in love when in reality it is only irritability of the pneumogastric nerve. The sen- sation is reflex, which accounts for it not being readily traced to the stom- ach. No one should marry while troubled with either dyspepsia or liv- er complaint, as there is great danger of the passion disappearing with the disease. If during the attack, a man hasn’t a good advisor he is liable to make a fool of himself, because he may propose and be accepted and go out and tell everybody he knows that he is the happiest man in the world. He is happy, or at least he enjoys the peculiar sensation which at first is most enjoyable indeed, but as it grows older it seems to take on a tinge of misery. One moment the victim will swear that he is the happiest of the happy, and the very next that he is the most miserable of the miserable. Queer, isn’t it? There is just about as much use of talking philosophy to lovers as reading poetry to owls— they wink and look wise, and that is all. It is a pity it is so, and were it not for the prospect of a change in the near future the outlook would be anything but encouraging. Not that genuine love is less potent than in Eden, but that dyspepsia and bilious- ness are increasing with such marvel- ous rapidity. To be happy people must be healthy. A sickly lover is an intolerable nuisance. Preachers and moralists are declaiming loudly against divorce laws, and citing the fact that there is an average of one divorce for every ten marriages. Do they ever stop to think that there are just grounds for twice as many more? Do not the unhappy homes within the circle of their acquaintance teach them that there is something radic- ally wrong, and can they not see that divorce or separation is the only rem- edy for it? Men and women must learn to distinguish the great and vi- tal difference between fascination and affinity; biliousness and love. Until they are able to do this, there will be divorces, scandals, murders, suicides and lives of shame and deaths of mis- ery. AARONSBURG. Rev. and Mrs. Stover are enjoying a visit of their daughter, Mrs. Hoff- man and little child, of Baltimore. Henry Gilbert, our aged shoemaker, had the misfortune to fall on Sunday morning. In his feeble condition the fall rendered’ him almost helpless. Frank B. Miller, of Tylersville, spent Tuesday night, the 7th inst., as the guest of Thomas Hull. Mr. Mil- ler was a delegate to the Evangelical conference in session in Lewisburg. Mrs. A. S. King left Tuesday morn- ing for Milroy, where she will visit her daughter, Miss Lodie, and Mr. and Mrs. Kramer, who previous to going to Milroy were residents of this place. ’Squire and Mrs. Stover have as a guest Mrs. Stover’s sister, Mrs. Clark Herman, of State College, who came down Saturday for a week's vis- it here with her brother and family and with friends. Mrs. George Cunningham has gone to Riverside, where her parents reside. Her mother, Mrs. Gulick, has been quite ill for some time and her condi- tion does not change for the better. Let us hope, however, she may soon improve and recover. Some time during Sunday night the death angel invaded the Otto home and wafted the spirit of the husband and father, John M. Otto, into the realms of the Great Beyond. The writer has no information other than that the funeral took place at four o’clock Tuesday afternoon, burial be- ing made in Williamsport. The widow and son have the sympathy of their neighbors and friends in their sorrow. Mis. Henry Mowery was called home from Altoona, where she had been visiting her daughter, Mrs. C. H. McVey, Mr. Mowery having had a bad fall from the straw mow while doing his evening chores. He is getting along as well as can be expected. Dr. Braucht was called and he states that no bones are broken. Mr. Mowery’s greatest pain is in his back. His neighbors wish for him a full and speedy recovery. Clair Meckley, of Altoona, accompanied his aunt home and has been their guest since. emer Ame. Forest Lands Owned by State. The biennial report of the Pennsyl- vania Department of Forestry shows that during 1920 and 1921, 77,544 i acres of forest land were purchased by the Commonwealth and placed un- der the administration of the Depart- ment. According to the figure com- piled, the State Forest area is now 1,126,236 acres, purchased at a total | cost of more than $2,646,400, an av- | erage of $2.26 per acre. | During 1920, the area acquired was 59,788 acres. Last year there were added to the state forests 17,760 acres. The combined area purchased during the two years was larger than the total purchoses of the seven pre- | vious years, 1913 to 1919. Last year the Department made a special survey of the forest land avail- | able for acquisition by the State. Written offers of 488,353 acres were received by the Department. In addi- tion, verbal offers were made to the Department covering more than 250,- 000 acres, making the total acreage offered for purchase about 750,000 acres. A bond issue of $25,000,000 is now recommended for the purchase of is similar to sea-sickness, coming on | State, and it already has been approv- ed by the Grange. The Department’s studies show that if this sum is made tated forest land, the entire amount will be repaid—principal and interest —within a reasonable time by the growth of the forests. BOALSBURG.

Spring Debility Loss of Appetite, that Tired Feeling and Sometimes Eruptions. Thousands take Hood’s Sarsaparil- la as a spring medicine for that tired feeling, nervous weakness, impure blood and say it makes them feel bet- ter, eat and sleep better, and “makes food taste good.” Spring debility is a condition in which it is especially hard to combat disease gems, which invade the sys- tem here, there and everywhere. The white blood corpuscles, sometimes called “the little soldiers in the blood,” because it is their duty to fight dis- ease germs, are too weak to do good service. Hood’s Sarsaparilla strengthens the | “little soldiers” and enables them to repel germs of grip, influenza, fevers of Marion | of Belle- | fd and other ailments; relieves catarrh and rheumatism. It has given satis- faction to three generations. today, and for a laxative take Hood’s Pills. 67-11 BULGARIAN BLOOD TEA Assists Nature to GENTLY MOVE THE BOWELS SWEETEN THE STOMACH FLUSH THE KIDNEYS TO KILL THAT COLD Take it steaming hot at bedtime.

State College Perfecting New Heat Loss Apparatus. _ A new apparatus for the determina- tion of heat losses through any kind of a flat wall is rapidly being perfect- ed by the engineering experiment sta- tion at The Pennsylvania State Col- lege. For several years the college research specialists have been study- ing the loss of heat as it passes through various materials from a high to a lower temperature. During: the past six months a high degree of per- | fection has been reached with a spe- ! cial instrument which is ultimately expected to increase the efficiency of | pipe and wall insulations, refrigera- tors and other apparatus where the conservation of heat or cold is essen- tial. The -college is receiving co-op- eration from the American Society of Heating and Ventilating Engineers in this project, and also from a number of firms manufacturing or dealing in refrigerating apparatus. ——There may be other papers as big as the ‘Watchman” but there are none to equal it in the quality of its news. MEDICAL. SE —— ATTORNEY’S-AT-LAW. Words from Home Statements that May be Investigated. Testimony of Bellefonte Citizens. ‘When a Bellefonte citizen comes to the front, telling his friends and neighbors of his experience, you can rely on his sincerity. The statements of people residing in far away places do not command your confidence. Home endorsement is the kind that backs Doan’s Kidney Pills. Such tes- timony is convincing. Investigation proves it true. Below is a statement of a Bellefonte resident. No stronger proof of merit can be had. M. H. Daley, railroad man, 213 E. Lamb St. says: “My back and kid- neys were in a very serious condition, when I began taking Doan’s Kidney Pills. They gave me great benefit and I was more than pleased with the re- sults. I recommend Doan’s when- ever I have an opportunity.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Daley had.
