The Message of
the Christmas
Seal.
Five years ago
the secretary of
the State Tuber-
culosis so ciety
came to Belle-
fonte to enlist co-
workers in the
fight against the “white plague” and
was doing his best to win a small
group of listeners to his cause when
one member was called away and, in
departing remarked, “I am glad to
have met you, Mr. D—, and wish you
success in your mission, but think it
an unnecessary work as I do not know
of a single case of tuberculosis.”
“That may be true of Bellefonte,
Mr. M—,” replied the secretary, “but
there are 10,000 deaths annually in
Pennsylvania from this cause and it
is no doubt in your midst but you do
not realize it.”
Five years have passed and that
same group have seen three fine young
men and a charming young woman,
graduates of our High school, loving
to live but, after a desperate fight,
laid in their graves, victims of tuber-
culosis. Four children, ranging in
age from six to twelve years, taken
from the schools to Cresson for treat-
ment; eleven suspect cases in (the
High school that needed and received
medical attention until discharged;
seven advanced cases among adults,
not to mention the patients who have
been attending the State clinic for a
year and are under Dr. David Dale’s
care.
How does the Christmas seal figure
in our story?
Christmas seal funds are used in
combating tuberculosis, through the
employing of nurses and educational
workers; educational efforts as to the
nature, treatment and prevention of
tuberculosis; efforts for the establish-
ment and aiding of nursing, clinic,
hospital and sanitorium service, sum-
mer camps and open air schools;
building up of healthy children; con-
ducting of health surveys; medical
service, and sending patients to san-
atoria.
In this community, the money has
been used the past year in paying one
hundred dollars for the use of the
room in which the tuberculosis clinic
is held Tuesday afternoons, and, in
financing the work of a dental hygien-
ist for four months in our schools.
The seals are now on sale at Lyon
& Co., Hazels, and Cohen’s dry goods
stores, Motts’ and Runkle’s drug
stores, the Bush house and Bickett’s
pool room in the Brant house, and
from volunteer workers who are mak-
ing a house-to-house sale. The seal
is only a tiny bit of paper but it is a
wonderful messenger of health and
hope as it flies through the mails.
Use it on your letters and parcels and
help “wipe tuberculosis out of Penn-
sylvania!”

Brothers Die a Week Apart.
On Thursday, November 22nd, Wil-
liam Longwell died at his home in
Gassaway, W. Va., and his brether
Thad, who came east from Iowa to at-
tend the funeral, died just one week
later at the home of his sister, Miss
Elizabeth Longwell, in Bellefonte.
Both were sons of William Hamilton
and Anna Marshall Longwell, omne-
time well known residents of Belle-
fonte.
William H. Longwell, the first to
pass away, was born in Bellefonte on
July 26th, 1864, hence was in his six-
tieth year. His boyhood days were
spent here but at the age of twenty
years he went to Manassas, Va., where
he accepted a position in a large hard-
ware store. That place was his home
until about thirteen years ago when
he moved to Gassaway, W. Va., where
he was in the employment of a rail-
road company. His death was the
result of stomach trouble with which
he had been ailing for two years or
more.
While living in Manassas he mar-
ried Miss Elizabeth Alexander Sin-
clair who survives with six children,
namely: Mrs. O. D. Waters, of Ma-
nassas; W. H. Longwell, of Clarks-
burg, W. Va.; Mrs. Omer Frame, Mrs.
Asa Carr, Mrs. C. L. Lehnis and Ar-
thur L., all of Gassaway. The re-
mains were taken to Manassas, Va.
where funeral services were held and
burial made on Sunday, November
25th.
Thaddeus Mitchell Longwell, who
came east for the funeral of his
brother, came to Bellefonte on Wed-
nesday afternoon of last week for a
brief visit before returning home. The
day before he left home his family
physician told him he was afflicted
with valvular heart trouble, but if he
avoided strenuous exercise of all kinds
there was no reason why he shouldn’t
make the trip. On Wednesday even-
ing he attended prayer meeting in the
Presbyterian chapel and when he re-
tired that night felt as well as ever.
At five o’clock Thursday morning he
called his sister and said he was very
sick. A physician was called as
quickly as possible but his condition
was such that he was beyond help and
he passed away at 3:25 o’clock the
same afternoon,
Deceased was born in Bellefonte on
July 8th, 1862, hence was 61 years, 4
months and 21 days old. His boyhood
life was also spent in Bellefonte and
as a young man he learned telegra-
phy under the late W. L. Malin, who
had charge of the Western Union tel-
egraph office. Having mastered the
key he was given a job in the railroad
office at Milesburg, being later trans-
ferred to Snow Shoe. From the latter
place he went to Steelton where he
spent twelve years in the credit de-
partment of the Steelton Store com-
pany. Returning to Bellefonte he was
with the Central Railroad of Pennsyl-
vania company five years then went
to Belington, W. Va., where he was
identified with a coal company for
eighteen months after which he mov-
ed to DesMoines, Iowa, where he has
since been in the employ of the Rock
Island Railroad company.
While living in Snow Shoe he mar-
ried Miss Mary Curtis Byers, of Lew-
isburg, who survives with four chil-
dren, Mrs. Claude Casebeer, Joseph
and Anna, all of Des Moines, and Mrs.
Daniel Stearns, of Ottumwa, Iowa.
The brothers are also survived by one
sister, Miss Elizabeth Longwell, of
Bellefonte, and one brother, S. Linn,
whose present whereabouts are un-
known. Both men were members of
the Presbyterian church.
Notified of his father’s sudden
death Joseph Longwell came east from
DesMoines and made arrangements
for the shipment of the body to its
late home. Consequently brief funer-
al services were held at the Longwell
home at 1:30 o’clock on Sunday after-
noon by Rev. Dr. Schmidt, and the re-
mains were taken west on the 3:08 p.
m. train. Burial was made in Des-
Moines on Tuesday afternoon.

away on Tuesday night at the home
of her niece, Mrs. Homer Decker, of

seventy-three years ago. In 1885 she
married Mr. Ard and all their married

and two brothers, Andrew J. Lytle, of

death of his wife, less than a year
ago, when he went to make his home

How to Mail Your
Packages.
Postmaster John L. Knisely, in ask-
ing the co-operation of the public dur-
ing the holiday season rush, offers the
following suggestions about mailing
Christmas packages which, if follow-
ed, will be a great help in handling
your gifts to friends and practically
insure their reaching their destination
on time:
In wrapping any tying packages
use heavy paper and strong cord or
twine.
Fragile articles, easily broken, must
be crated.
Perishable matter will be sent a
reasonable distance, and should be
special delivery.
All packages addressed to points
within one day’s travel should be
mailed not later than December 21st;
two day’s travel December 18th; three
day’s travel December 16th, and more
distant points not later than the 14th.
Parcels may be endorsed “Do not
open before X-mas.”
Do not place stickers or Christmas
seals on the address side of the par-
cel, and do not seal packages with
stickers.
Use ink in addressing packages and
in addition to the name, city and
State be sure to put on the street and
number. Write your return address
in the upper left hand corner of all
packages.
By complying with the above you
will greatly assist in expediting the
mail during the X-mas rush.

A Girls’ Minstrel Show.
The black and white revue will be
the name under which the next big
amateur theatrical undertaking will
be staged in this place. The date for
. the showing has not been fixed, but
i rehearsals are well along and from
. what we hear a sparkling musical and
, comedy production may be expected.
i It will be a girl show entirely.
i Men are only wanted in the audience
‘and as it is to be in charge of Mrs. R.
| Russell Blair something worth while
is in store for us soon.
| ——The story going the rounds of
i the State newspapers to the effect
that hunters in the Seven mountains
recently found, in a secluded ravine,
a wrecked automobile bearing a 1916
. license plate and containing three
| skeletons, is a fake. It originated
i months ago and at that time it was
| reported that the car bore 1901 li-
| cense plates, but as automobiles were
not licensed in 1901 the fellow who
has revamped the wild tale has
| brought it up to 1916.
——George B. Mann and his son
| Russell, of Howard, who got into trou-
ble with some foreigners at Viaduct,
Clearfield county, where they were all
working, and were put in jail for ap-
pearance at court, have been released
on bail. It appears that Russell got
into the mix-up first and swung a club
that felled several of his assailants.
Then his father went to his aid with
a gun but did not shoot. The Manns
were arrested afterwards.
Meda Torsell, the west High
street shoemaker, with his young son

he made no definite plans for the fu-
ture he confessed that if possible he
will return in the spring.
