PLEASANT GAP.
Mrs. C. C. Baumgardner was on
Saturday night summoned to the bed-
side of her sister, Mrs. Kramer, re-
siding near State College, who is re-
ported to be seriously ill.
If capital competing with capital
foreign and domestic, is its greatest
enemy, is not then labor competing
with labor, foreign and domestic, your
greatest enemy? Is not your duty
clear, then, to let capital look after
itself, while you look after yourselves.
Our lumbermen were elated when
they read an account of the address
of Supt. McCrea, of the Pennsylvania
railroad, last week, who asserted that
they expected to expend $100,000,000
during the coming year and that $800,-
000 would be, required for improve-
ments in the vicinity of Pittsburgh
alone. Thousands of railroad ties
are awaiting shipping orders from
this vicinity alone.
As women grow weaker physically
they probably grow wiser, if book
knowledge can be counted as wisdom.
They read more, talk more, and should
know more. But is the knowledge
gained thus of any benefit to the
world? Will all their reading of nov-
els, conversations on social topics and
politics, or their ability to spea
French, relieve the misery of a boy
who has been eating green apples.
Car. a knowledge of geometry be made
available in making beds or darning
stockings.
A noted writer recently said, that
“a mother’s love is the only virtue
that did not suffer by the fall of Ad-
am.” It strikes one that whether Ad-
am fell or not, it is quite clear that
the unselfish love of a good mother is
the crowning glory of the race. No
matter how long and how. sorely it
may be tried, its arms are ever open
to receive the returning prodigal. One
faithful heart never loses its affection
for the wanderer who strays from the
fold. Adversity and sorrow may come
with all their terrible force, but the
motherly affection clings to its idol
closely. We never see a good old
mother sitting in the arm-chair that
we do not think of the storms which
have pelted in her cheerful face with-
out souring it. Her smile is a solace,
her presence a benediction. Inexhaust-
ible patience, hope, faith and benevo-
lence the mothers are sure to lead.
God bless the good old mothers!
Yes, one day of sunshine this time
of the year will make a wonderful
change in a house. Our women, since
moving time and housecleaning are all
the rage, are too busy to even give
one a gentle smile. The piano is lock-
ed, the work-basket packed away in a
closet, brass hammering tools exchang-
ed for tack hammers, and crochet nee-
dles for dust pans and feather dust-
ers. Grate fronts are dragged from
their quiet winter quarters, old bar-
rels in the cellar and ash buckets res-
urrected from their hiding places. It
is a mystery where she finds all these
things, but she finds them, and there
is no use of objecting to their pres-
ence in the halls, on landings and cel-
ler stairs. At this stage women should
remember that washing windows is
entitled to a high rank as a cause for
suffering among women. There is no
other work about the house during
spring that subjects one to more se-
vere and dangerous draughts than
this. The vigorous exercise of polish-
ing the inside of a window is likely to
induce perspiration, while the sudden
exposure to a sweeping draft of cold
air while cleaning the outside is sure
to produce a chill. It is much the
safer plan to clean the outside first,
and wind up with giving the inside a
good rubbing down. In this way the
effects of cold experienced outside are
counteracted by the exercise inside.
My advice to women is don’t be in a
rush in order to be through house
cleaning as soon as your neighbor is;
your neighbor may be contemplating
suicide. The best time to clean house
is after the days have become warm
enough to allow the windows to re-
main up all day long.
From time immemorial our farm-
ers as a rule held a deep seated
grudge against the right of dogs;
simply, as they say, because they kill
so many of their sheep and other an-
imals. The dog has his place in the
world, and is, I think entitled to the
respect due to his position. Philoso-
phy teaches clearly that animals have
equal rights with man under all laws
that pertain to them in common. Man

is higher and better than the dog only
in a moral point of view, and just how
much higher and better depends en-
tirely upon how he stands according
to the established standard. Accord-
ing to statistics for 1921 the dog prov-
ed a great benefactor to the taxpayers
of our Commonwealth. The fact in a
nut-shell is this: The dogs in the
State in 1921 increased to 355,293;
while the number of sheep killed fell
to 3,228, in a total of 450,870, or less
than 1 percent. The State paid out
$50.519 for damage for all kinds of
live stock; at the same time the State
received from dog licenses $459,293,
leaving a substantial balance in favor
of the dog end proposition. Now, dear
farmer, kindly let up on your hostili-
ty to dogs; in other words, stop your
kidding. These are undeniable facts.
Just a few casual remarks in defense
of the monstrous sheep killers. Kind
Providence did not forget man, but
provided him with a messmate that is
more than the blackbird that feeds
with the cattle, or the heron that tick-
les the back of the elephant; an at-
tendant that is more than an escort
or follower; a scavenger that is more
than a soulless dependent or lazy lout.
The dog is man’s natural attendant.
Not only his attendant, but his friend,
his companion and conservator of his
health. Of all the animals and beasts,
of whatever name or kind, the dog is
the only one that prefers the compa-
ny of man to its own species. Man
may have warm and devoted friends,
but none who will follow him through
thick and thin, honor and dishonor, as
will his dog. The fidelity of human
friends may be devoted, but that of
the dog is unshaken forever. Its ca-
ress is just as loving and honest in the
meanest hovel as in the palace. It re-
ceives the well-picked bone from the
wan and shriveled hand of penury as
k | graciously as dainties from the sil-
ver laden tables of affluence. Neither
plague, nor scourge, nor loathsome
disease will scare this born friend
from the bedside of its master. No
storm so fierce, no danger so great, no
privation so dreadful as to drive it
away. Kicks, blows, abuse, starvation
and heartless neglect are forgiven in
a moment and remembered no more.
Where in all the world of life can this
fidelity be equalled. With jealous care
the mastiff guards the helpless inno-
cent in its cradle, offers itself as a
plaything, is filled with delight at ba-
by’s cooing and crowing, steadies its
first tottering footsteps, follows it to
the play-ground, guards it from dan-
ger, plays ball, chases the rolling
hoop, waits anxiously for the closing
hour of school, sleeps so lightly at
the bedside that every movement or
sigh is heard, plays a winning hand in
fights, stands ready to offer its life as
a willing sacrifice if necessary to pro-
tect its young master from danger,
and all it asks in return is a kind
word or gentle caress. Not only is the
dog a devoted friend and trusty pro-
tector but is a conservator of health.
The dog plays the part of scavenger,
does it so modestly and so inoffensive-
ly that it is rarely regarded in that
light. The dog does not plough, nor
sow, nor reap, but guards and pro-
tects those who do. In return for all
its service this faithful conservator of
man’s health, and guardian of the
fruit of his labor, only asks the
crumbs from the table, his approving
look and kind word. Dear farmer,
there are bad dogs, but not as many,
all things considered, as there are bad
men in existence. I, for one, am an
admirer of dogs.

TAKE GUDE’S
PEPTO-MANGAN
It is the Safe and Reliable Tonic Used
by Physicians for 30 Years.
There are “new styles” even in
medicines. A new “fad” comes, is
popular for a while, and then fades
out of public view. A remedy that
has stood the test for thirty years
must have remarkable merit and can-
not be called a “fad.” Such is Gude’s
Pepto-Mangan, originated by Dr. A.
Gude over a quarter century ago, which
has helped many thousands of people
back to good health by improving the
blood. Pepto-Mangan is an iron ton-
ic. It contains iron in a special form
easily absorbed by the system. It
puts color into the lips and cheeks
and improves the entire body by im-
proving and enriching the blood. It
is sold by druggists in botk liquid and
tablet form. If you want to be well
and strong and look fine and healthy,
take Gude’s Pepto-Mangan.—Ady, ;

Bath a Japanese Institution.
From the very earliest days baths
and bathing have been known in
Japan. And at a time in European his.
tory when the Valois kings of France
were requesting their courtiers to use
perfumes to counteract the lack of
bathing, the Japanese, high and low,
were reveling in hot steam and warm
baths, which are still to be found in
every corner of the country.
In one of the earliest books, called
the “Wakun Shiori,” the Detroit News
observes, it is stated that the “Yuva”
—the “hot water house”—is a sacred
house, in the book called the “Teijoz
aki” the phrase “O yu dono” is used
This also has a double meaning.
“Drinking water,” or “place for mak:
ing hot water,” and from this latter
meaning there comes the use of it to
denote “bathing place.” But the word
“0 yu dono” was really used by mis.
take to denote the place near the
kitchen where hot water was pre-
pared. All these books were written
before 1200 A. D.
