Elder Watkins, of Muddy Hollow, just back from the city, was telling his wife of the church he had attend- “Did you know any of their songs?” asked she. “No,” replied the elder, “they didn’t sing anything but anthems. “Anthems!” exclaimed his wife. “What on earth is an anthem ?” “Well,” answered the elder. “I can’t tell you just exactly, but if I'd soy to you, ‘Betsy the cows are in the corn,’ that wouldn’t be an anthem. But if I'd say ‘Betsy—Betsy—Betsy, the cows—the cows—the Holstein cows, the muley cow, the Jersey cow, the spotted cow—all the cows are in— are in—the corn—corn—corn. Ah- men!” why, that’d be an anthem.” —Subseribe for the “Watchman.” Am eet ere RUNVILLE. Miss Lulu McClincy, of Williams- port, spent Christmas with her par- ents.

SAYS NEW METHOD RESTORES “YOUTH.” Provided one is organically sound, one’s youth can be restored, vitality renewed and power recaptured, ac- cording to Dr. Heyman, German sur- geon, now in London, who claims to have discovered a new serum which puts monkey glands in the shade and —in his own words—‘“constitutes the most momentous advance in medical science of recent years.” Dr. Heyman has been for years con- sulting surgeon at the Universities of Breslau and Leipsig and has spent his life in the study of the glands of the human body. By blood transfusion and the in- jection of his serum he maintains that youth and vitality can be revivified in both sexes—a distinct advance over the Steinach treatmeent, which ap- plies only to males. Heyman’s only condition is that the organs of the pa- tient must be thoroughly healthy. “I consider my discovery is the key to the problem of perpetual youth,” said Dr. Heyman in an interview. “Qld age before its time in men and women is due to a lack of certain con- stituents of the blood and secretions of the body. My treatment can be ef- fected either by transfusion of blood through the veins or by intermuscular injection of the serum. The blood is restored, and youth comes back with all its vitality and power.” Machine Will Clean Wheat at Time of Threshing. One source of economic waste has been the contamination of wheat by dirt and the seeds of various weeds and foreign grain, such as wild oats, buckwheat, and many others. Lately a machine, which is illustrated and described in the May Popular Me- chanics Magazine, has been designed and tested which seems to point to he solution of the problem of clean- ing wheat at the time of threshing. It is of simple construction and can be placed on the top of the threshing machine, receiving its power from that source. Almost Half the Gold. The United States, it is estimated, now holds 45 per cent. of the world’s total of gold money. Of the remain- der, the British Empire holds about 12% per cent.; France, 11 per cent.; Japan, 6 per cent.; Spain, 5 per cent, ! and Germany and Holland about 2% per cent. each. HOW FARM VALUES HAVE INCREASED. Farm lands and other farm proper- ty in Illinois, Wisconsin and the States’ west of the Mississippi river increased in value about $42,000,000,- 000 during the twenty years ended in 1920, according to figures compiled by the Bureau of the Census. The total value in 1920 was nearly $54,000,000,- 000. The average value of a farm had leaped from $4,366 to $18,781. These figures and more of the same kind are quoted by the Railway Age in an article calling attention to the part which has been played by the railroads in making possible growth so remarkable, even after the decline in values brought about during the last three years, and estimated at twenty-five per cent., is taken into ac- count. Appeal is made to the farmers of the west to bear these things in mind when asked to support programs of radical legislation which would ham- string railroad enterprise. It is a laudable effort. It seeks to show the farmer the economic aspects of the case and wherein his hope of future prosperity lies. He is reminded that the prices he got for his product after the panic of 1893 were very low, and if he had at that time succeeded in crippling the railroads he would have prevented much, if not all, of that great growth in values which the past two decades have seen, and which far outstrips any increase to be properly ascribed to the change in the value of the dollar. But in the case of the wheat grow- er of the Northwest, convinced that he is losing money, it is to be doubted how far such publications will go in setting him to thinking along sane and constructive lines. He is in the mood to try any kind of quack reme- dy that is plausibly recommended. But the wheat growers, after all, do not constitute the whole of the farm population. Others may be more dis- posed to regard a railroad as a ne- cessity to be properly maintained rather than an evil to be abated. It is, therefore, well that attention be directed at this time to the part that the railroads have played in making possible the agricultural development of the western States. The Nobel Prize. Some of you have read recently of the awarding of the Nobel prize to two distinguished American scientists. And perhaps you have wondered about this award. The history of it, in brief, is this: Alfred Nobel, the Swedish scientist, who invented dyna- mite, died in 1896 and left his fortune, about nine million dollars, for the founding of a fund, the interest of which should yearly be distributed to those who had mostly contributed to the benefit of mankind during the year preceding. The board that names the winners is composed of Swedes, and the value of each award is about $40,000. Two of our Presi- dents—Roosevelt and Wilson—have been awarded the prize for their ef- forts in promoting peace. You see Mr. Nobel realized what a terrible thing he had turned loose for the destruction of mankind when he invented dynamite. So, from the profits which his invention brought him, he tried to devise a reward for the finer things in life, and place the emphasis on them rather than upon war. The five fields which are recog- nized are physics, chemistry, medi- cine, literature and peace.—Christian Advocate. Auto Licenses Unlikely to Reach Mil- lion Mark. Registrar Eanton, of the State au- tomobile division, said that passenger car registrations in Pennsylvania would pass 999,000 within a few days, but it was hardly likely the million mark would be reached in Pennsyl- vania this year. Passenger car reg- istration now exceeds 988,000. Commercial registrations number 76,000, bringing the .total motor ve- hicle licenses, passenger and commer- cial, to more than 1,000,000. Five hundred thousand title applications have been mailed out, leaving almost that many more for the department to issue. 25,000,000 Workers Have Defective Vision. Fully 25,000,000 gainfully employed Americans are suffering from defec- tive vision, it was asserted by the eye- sight conversation council of Ameri- ca in making public a report of ‘its survey of conditions in the nation’s industries. In the Detroit plant of the Ford Motor car company, says the report, 29,000 out of 60,000 workers have de- fective vision. E. I. Du Pont De Ne- mours and Co., at Wilmington, Del, and the Ford plant adopted a system of eyesight conservation for employ- es, the report adds. ’ Too Limited. An African of peculiarly dusky hue was haled to court one morning for stealing chickens. The judge said to the clerk: “Swear the prisoner.” “Sam, do you solemnly swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?” “I does, sah.” “Sam, what have you to say for yourself 7” «Well, Jedge, with all dem limita- tions you has just put on me I doesn’t believe I has anything at all, sah.”— Judge. Many Have Appedicitisn Don’t Know It Much so-called stomach trouble is really chronic appendicitis. This can often be relieved by simple glycerine, buckthorn bark, etc., as mixed in Ad- lerika.

County officers during the fiscal year which ended December 1, 1923, collected $1,616,633.23 more revenue for the State than they did in the pre- ceding year. The increase was made in spite of a loss of $644,677.12 for the year in the fees paid by five class- es of liquor licenses. The largest increase in any partic- ular group was made in the taxes on writs and inheritances which netted the State $1,797,399.38 more in 1923 than in 1922. In that group the State collected $11,283.03 from couples get- ting married while the heirs of those who died paid $617,784.39 in direct and collateral inheritance taxes. In 1922 the State collected $957, 122.55 from retail and wholesale liq- uor licenses, brewers, distillers and bottlers but in 1923 the same reve- nues had shrunk to $292.445.43. Hunters, fishermen and dog owners poured $1,296,450.22 into the coffers of the State, an increase of $235,740.- 08. Resident hunters paid the State $536,718.24 for the privilege of re- marking on the scarcity of game and inventing alibis for failing to get any, while resident fishermen came across with $195,302.50 to find spots where the water was not poisoned sufficient- ly to kill the fish. The States makes no distinction in taxing dogs and the owners of priceless canines and low- ly curs pay the same rate. Together they valued their canine friends to the extent of paying the State $529,841.- 95 for the privilege of owning them. The various kinds of mercantile li- censes netted the State $3,724,215.42 in 1923, an increase of $248,170.89. That group includes retail and whole- sale mercantile licenses, billiard and pool rooms, brokers, auctioneers, ped- dlers, amusement houses and restau- rant. ‘ Misplaced Effort. An officer of a certain regiment was inspecting his company on parade, when he came to an Irishman who had evidently not shaved for some days. Halting in front of the man, he said: “Doyle, how is'it that you’ve not shaved this morning?” “Qi have, sorr,” was the reply. “How dare you tell me that,” said the officer, “with a hard beard on you like that?” “Well, sor,” said Paddy, “it’s loike this. There’s only one shaving glass in our room, and there was noine of us shaving at the same toime, and Sayhe Oi shaved some other chap’s ace. ams MEDICAL. A Talk with A Bellefonte Man Mr. Nighthart Tells Something of Interest to Bellefonte Folks. There’s nothing more convincing than the statement of some one you know and have confidence in. That's why this talk with Mr. Nighthart, of E. Bishop street, should be mighty helpful here in Bellefonte. Charles Nighthart, 831 E. Bishop St., says: “I became run down with kidney trouble and felt tired and worn out mornings. I could hardly get to work. There was a steady, dull ache across my back and when I stooped or lifted, sharp catches took me. 1 also had dizzy spells and my kidneys acted irregularly. used Doan’s Pills from the Mott Drug Co., and they strengthened my back and kidneys.” Price 60c, at all dealers.
