Bellefonte, Pa., November 9, 1923.
A CENTRE COUNTIAN’S VIEW OF
DAVID LLOYD GEORGE.
Philadelphia, Oct. 30, ’23.
Editor Democratic Watchman.
Today the Welsh were vociferous.
It was their great greeting to the Big
Little Welshman, David Lloyd George
who came to visit and not promote
any selfish propaganda. In this, his
visit was sharply contrasted with all
the visits beginning with Clemenceau
the French Tiger; Lord Bobs Cecil,
the Cassius with the “Iean and hun-
gry look,” and all the “kit and ca-
boodle” who came here to draw your
tall and bony Uncle Sam into the
meshes of the European diplomacy.
All honor to the little big Britisher
with the flowing silvery locks!
In his address here he eclipsed the
farewell address of Washington, the
prayer of Jefferson for democracy,
real true in quality, not the tin-foil
officially stamped kind that has sub-
merged this great nation of polyglot
humans!
Lloyd George is a typical Briton of
the unconquerable kind that two
thousand years ago confronted Cae-
sar, the world’s great butcher of hu-
manity. After Caesar had passed in
his checks, others invaded Briton and
drove the Cambrians into the moun-
tains which became Walys and histo-
ry informs us those democratic free-
men were never conquered. Behind
their mountain walls they cherished
freedom in the gardens of the Gods
unafraid. So, if Lloyd George were
an American citizen, a Democrat he
would be. : .
We are now near a city election.
The Democrats have found a hand-
some candidate for Mayor, whose
name is Raff. If all his kind of men
would vote for him, he might cut
quite a swath. But will they? No;
they will not. They are wedded to
the same money-god that made the
children of Israel wanderers through-
out the whole world and persecuted
because they had the money. It is a
pity that so brilliant a man as Herr
Raff should be tempted to lead a for-
lorn hope in this bedlam. .
At “Tenth and Walnut” they still
retain a kind recollection of the
“Watchman” and its stalwart found-
er. The young secretary and care-
taker for the Penthesilian end of the
hopeful “minority” inquired about the
“Watchman” and its present force,
with an affectionate regard for its
splendid service in the past.
Unfortunately, all the “married
men,” who used to “chip in” have
passed over into Nirvana—and those
who once aimed to add their names to
the eternal head-roll of fame, have
succumbed to the temporal bread-roll
of-stigmatize-it-as-you-will!
Just to think of it! As one of them
said to me when approached on the
subject of State policy: “I am out of
politics—trying to make a living for
my family!” Such are the men that
the Republican leaders seduce and re-
ward in their families.
Have you noticed that the Record
takes sides, editorially with Gob Pin-
chot against Three Million Dollar
Mellon! It says: “More power to
Pinchot!” And so can we all say:
“More power to Pinchot’s right arm
punch!” He represents the law. The
law’s the law and must be respected.
That is good old Andrew Jackson De-
mocracy. The two men, old Andrew
and Gifford are not much unlike:
Tall, bony, angular, nervous, sanguine
temperaments! Both were heroic in
their attachment to their wives. As
Alfred Henry Lewis in his great he-
roic “When Men Grew Tall,” tells us,
an insult hurled at Mrs. Jackson by
Dead Shot Dickinson cost him his life.
Whether we agree with Pinchot or not,
and many do aot, we can have some
satisfaction in watching that strong
right arm.

brother, William Bartley, of Mapes,
Clinton county, who was killed in an
accident on the New York Central
railroad on Saturday.
Ralph Kiefer, of Flemington, was a
guest at the William Weaver home
during the first few days of the hunt-
ing season and proved to be a good
shot, as he took fourteen rabbits home
with him on Saturday afternoon.
On going to his barn, last Thursday
morning, Lyman Ertley found one of
his best farm horses lying in its stall,
unable to get up. It required the
services of several men to get it on
its feet and though a veterinarian did
everything possible to save the ani-
mal, it died.
The Ladies Aid society held their
monthly meeting at the home of Mrs.
N. H. Yearick, on Saturday evening,
with twelve members present. They
decided to hold a chicken supper on
Saturday, November 24th, and the
public is cordially invited to extend
their patronage.
CHARLES P. STEINMETZ
LED SIMPLE LIFE.
Cooking his own meals, doing his
own housework, living in Spartan-like
simplicity, the man whom the electric-
al world called “master” and who was
chief consulting engineer of the Gen-
eral Electric company up to the time
of his death, set an example in nat-
ural living for America generally at
his summer camp along the Mohawk
Her, just outside of Schenectady, N.
A day in the camp of Charles P.
Steinmetz was like a day taken from
the life of one of the great philoso-
phers of ancient Greece. He went out
of doors in the summer because he
wanted to be out of doors. To go out
and then put something between one’s
self and the thing one wishes to at-
tain is foolishness he believed, so he
interposed no obstacles between Chas.
Steinmetz and his friend, Dame Na-
ture.
As a result there was not a single
luxury in the plain camp he built 25
years ago—first one room and then
another and another as the years
went by, until it was finally a ram-
bling four-roomed affair.
There were no carpets on the floors,
no pictures on the bare wooden walls.
The man whose salary would have
permitted him to have any desire of
his heart, got along with three simple
cots, a swing bed, a rough work ta-
ble, an alcohol stove of generous size,
some old chairs, an eating table and
a big cupboard.
Billy and Joe Hayden, of Schenec-
tady, sons of J. LeRoy Hayden, the
adopted son of Steinmetz, lived with
him at the camp throughout the sum-
mer. It was a loosely knit establish-
ment in which every one did some-
thing for the common good and no
one was fussy.
Dr. Steinmetz retired at 9 o’clock
every night and was an early riser,
out and around usually before the
boys got up. He cooked breakfast on
the alcohol stove, just as he did all
the rest of the meals.
He was a champion pancake maker
and got as much fun out of flapping a
flapjack as he did’ turning an alge-
braic formula into something that
meant electrically less steps for mil-
lions of persons. He baked them big
and round, one at a time, and enjoy-
ed eating them as much as he did
making them.
After breakfast he went to his
work.
If the day was rainy he worked in-
side at the rough table he made for
the purpose long ago, but at all other
times he went to his office on the Mo-
hawk.
Probably there was no other of-
fice like it in all the world—a battered
12 foot tippy canoe with a cushion
in the bottom and four floor boards
laid together from gunwale, to gun-
wale, thwartwise to serve as a desk.
When he went down to the river
to work he carried his papers under
his arm, with them Hutchinson’s
volume of four place tales, and a little
Nabisco box wherein he kept his pen-
cils.
Depositing these in his canoe he
pushed off from shore, gave a few
vigorous strokes with his copper-
bound double paddle and prepared for
the morning’s work.
He laid the four boards together
carefully, and with precision placed
his papers on them, each pile weigh-
ted down by one of an assortment of
pebbles carried in the bottom of the
canoe. If the day was too warm he
slipped off his shirt and putting it in
undershirt.
BREAKFAST OF TODAY SIMPLE
Yale Professor Tells Students Habits
Have Radically Changed in
Recent Years.
Food fads are as common as cloth:
ing fads, according to Dr. Lafayette
B. Mendel, professor of chemistry at
Yale, who lectured at the University
of Washington recently.
Habits, not fundamental principles,
have undergone radical changes with-
In ten years, he said. The breakfast
once demanded comprised cereal, pork
chops, eggs or steak (occasionally two
of these protein foods), hot breads,
coffee, flapjacks and sometimes pie or
cake. Today's morning meal, Doctor
Mendel pointed out, begins with fruit,
rings many changes on cereals, counts
hard toast especially beneficial if made
from entire wheat, substitutes a cod-
dled, soft-boiled or poached egg for
the one-time fried product, and ends
more often than not with milk or
cocoa.
Professor Mendel attributed some
of these changes to altered economic
conditions, and improved methods of
food transportation and preservation.
Most important, he explained, are
changes in views as to what consti-
tutes food. He said that animal hus-
bandry experiments conducted in this
country 12 years ago have been vital
influences in the study of human nu-’
trition. In other words, balanced ra-
tions for cows, hogs and chickens pre-
ceded knowledge of proper foods for
human beings.
PHILOSOPHIES OF LIFE.
By L. A. Miller,
Men and women, old and young, as-
sociated together constitute society.
The older ones exchange ideas and
the youthful ones, in imitation of their
elders, fall in love, marry and raise
families; hence society is the great
bulwark, indeed the protection of the
home.
The girls are surrounded by the
best influences and shielded from
harm; the boys are given the benefit
of the companionship of those whose
natures are gentle and kind, and
whose example tends to soften the
roughness of the average boy, who is
after all, only an animal in the first
stages of his life. He likes rough
play and would rather clim trees,
hunt, go swimming, fish and play ball
than sit in the parlor and talk to vis-
itors. This is all right, for athletics
develop and strengthen the body, but
a boy can be an athlete and a little
gentleman at the same time.
But when the coltish days are past
and the youth goes to college he
should be rid of all traces of boorish-
ness. e young folks grow up to
take the places of their elders, who
pass from the activities of life to the
restfulness of the beyond, and when
they come into full possession of their
inheritances, they realize what they
have missed if their manners are not
such as to entitle them to places in
society once occupied by their fathers
and mothers. Then they feel the hu-
miliation and chagrin which accompa-
nies the knowledge that they are not
fit to move in those circles where re-
finement, culture and good breeding
reign; they feel themselves awkward
and in the wrong sphere, and not on-
ly deserve the contempt with which
they are regarded by those with
whom they would like to associate,
but they cannot help feeling a con-
tempt for themselves. It is then,
perhaps, too late, for opportunity, it
is said, never knocks twice at the door
of any man or woman.
Of all kinds of exercise, walking is
that most universally attainable, and,
at the same time, the best, calling, as
it does, maany muscles into action,
and especially those of the lower ex-
tremities, of which the circulation is
apt to be more languidly and imper-
fectly performed, from the degree of
resistance presented by the force of
gravity to the return of blood to the
heart, calling, moreover, too much of
the moving apparatus of the body in-
to reciprocal and balanced action.
Walking is undoubtedly the best of
all exercises for the purpose of health,
independently of its secondary, and
by no means little useful effects of
carrying the respiratory organs into
the freer and purer air, and exposing
the system to the extraordinary
healthful influence of the direct rays
of the sun, moderate exercise in the
open air, for the purpose of assisting
the various secretions, is another es-
sential requisite for the production
and maintenance of good health.
None can neglect this rule with im-
punity.
The greatness of the American Re-
public, its achievements in art and
science and its ceaseless interest in
the cause of human freedom, are
mainly due to the influence of our
public schools, as are also the stead-
fast patriotism and the bravery of
its sons and daughters.
The capacities of Shakespeare are
unbounded, with sympathies as wide
as creation and sensibility as deep as
the ocean and susceptible to all ob-
jects of universal nature becomes its
painter and its dramatist and reveals
the heart of man for all time to its
fellows. As we turn over his pages
we seem not to be conversing with an
individual mind or to come in contact
with an individual character. The
works of a God seem to be before us,
but they are so varied, and all so per-
fect that they seem to give us no trace
of their parent. The creator of this
rich and boundless world of literature
is lost in his works; we cannot trace
him; we cannot detect the personality
of him, who holds the glass up to na-
ture’s face and reveals her as she is.
Mimic and painter of universal nature
he paints all character with equal
truth and seemingly with equal relish.
The equal of Shakespeare has not up
to this time materialized.

Plenty of Proof
From People You Know—From Belle-

The greatest skeptic can hardly fail
to be convinced by evidence like this.
It is impossible to produce better
proof of merit than the testimony of
residents of Bellefonte; of people who
can be seen at any time. Read the
following case of it:
Charles Nighthart, 331 E. Bishop
St., Bellefonte, says: “I became run
down with kidney trouble and felt
tired and worn out in the morning. I
could hardly get to work. There was
a steady, dull ache across the back
and when I stooped or lifted, sharp
catches took me just over my kidneys.
I also had dizzy spells and the action
of my kidneys was irregular. Iheard
of Doan’s Kidney Pills helping oth-
ers and I bought some at the Mott
Drug Co. They strengthened my
back and kidneys.”
