Carl Griffith, of Pittsburgh, is vis- jting at the home of George Gettig. Clarence and Winifred Noll, of Pit- «cairn, were visitors here last week. William Bilger returned to Scran- ton, Saturday, after a month’s vaca- tion. Mrs. Clayton Reish, of Allentown, was here last week to attend the fun- eral of the Mulfinger baby. Mr. and Mrs. David Crum, of Sines- ille, are visiting with Mrs. Crum’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Kerstet- Ter. Miss Speith, a nurse of Philadel- phia, is visiting her friend, Miss Ber- tha Rimmey. The pair are apparently having the time of their lives. Miss Jean Noll, our talented young nurse, after spending her vacation here, returned to Philadelphia on Sun- day to resume her duties at her fa- vorite hospital. Mr. William Horner took in the re- union at his former home at McEla- vey’s Fort last week., Over 1500 peo- ple were in attendance. Billy says it was a great occasion. Tommy Jodon has returned to the cattle buying proposition again and is doing a rushing business. He sold, the past week, twenty-five cows and a half dozen sucking calves. That is going some, and Tommy is master of the situation. Mr. John Buller, of Ardmore, vis- ited the family of William Hoover; he came here last Wednesday and return- ed home on Saturday. Mr. Buller was very favorably impressed with the beautiful scenery adjacent to the Gap. He is prominently connected with the Prudential Insurance company. Earl Rimmey, wife and little son motored to Altoona on Sunday, bring- ing home Mr. Rimmey’s mother, Mrs. David Rimmey, who has been spend- ing a week in the Mountain city visit- ing her daughter Anna. A much need- ed rest is what the good lady requir- ed, and she says the sojourn greatly benefitted her physically. Mrs. Swartz, of Snow Shoe, who has been visiting her daughter, postmis- tress Miss Mary Swartz, at the George Showers family, returned home a few days ago. Mrs. Swartz says she was homesick to see her daughter, as this is the first occasion that she has ever been away from her for any length of time, hence the visit to her proved a great relief. Our principal industry, Whiterock, is again forging ahead; they recently received some very substantial fur- nace stone orders, and are now run- ning that department on full time. Lime orders are also coming in so that, our works are now somewhat improv- ed, and the workers are in consequence more jubilant and happy. There was a falling off of orders some time ago, and occasionally men were obliged to lay off for a day or two. It must be said to the credit of the management, that they did all in their power to keep their employees working as near full time as possible. Pleasant Gap will be well supplied with nurses in the near future. Over a year ago Miss Bertha Rimmey grad- uated as a nurse from one of the lead- ing hospitals in Philadelphia, and to- day she is regarded as a most efficient nurse in this community. Her unusu- al good qualifications are verified from the fact that she has about all she can do in this commendable avocation. Next in order is Miss Jean Noll, who has been in training for nearly two years. She is progressing admirably well. She likes her new field of labor and has for a few years past been looked upon and regarded as a natural born nurse. When graduated she is sure to make a success. Next on the list is Miss Beatrice Noll, a most en- ergetic young lady, who starts into training in Philadelphia in the near future. We congratulate ourselves that ere long we will have an abun- dance of first-class nurses. The im- portance of good nursing, according to intelligent, scientific principles, has never been properly appreciated; -— ly than the people of any other na- tionality; they have a wit and humor distinctively their own, but there are none so quick to see and appreciate fun of other nationalities. The inhab- itants of other countries always speak of us as Yankees; whether from Mas- sachusetts or Georgia—he shows his adaptability; the Yankee becomes cos- mopolitan in a very short time. One or two trips to Europe, on either busi- ness or pleasure, enables him to fa- miliarize himself with the customs of foreign lands, and he sees something funny at every turn. Often he per- mits his sense of humor to get the better of his courtesy; but a little thing like that does not bother him: very long. The British, as a rule, are slow to recognize the point of an American joke, but when they do, after mature reflection they cannot contain themselves. The genuine American fun, wit, sense and non- sense—things to make you laugh, whether you want to or not, if you will read a little further down you will come to the joke. For genuine fun the Yankee has few equals. Mr. and Mrs. Edward Mulfinger have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community, since they had to face the painful ordeal of burying their unusually bright boy, Mack Ed- ward, a week ago, aged one year and seventeen days. The saddest part of this message is that the young couple were married some five years ago, had three children, and all have departed this life, leaving the parents to mourn their loss. In comparison with the loss of a lovely, innocent child all oth- er bereavements are trifling; such a child fills so large a space in the do- mestic haven—we think of him now as all gentleness, all beauty, all pur- ity. Yes, how lonely you feel {for the idol of your heart is gone The heart whose every beat measured an eternity of love now lies beneath the sod. How sad to contemplate; be ten- der of his memory so you may meet him with a soul unstained, in that bright and beautiful haven of rest. The parents have the consolation of knowing that their dear boy is better off than we are. Happy infant, early blest, Rest in peaceful slumber, rest. Early rescued from his cares Which increase in growing years. Little Mack, fare-the-weil, Till we shall meet above, Where saints and angels dwell And feel that God is love. BOALSBURG.

The Baileyville picnic last Saturday, was bigger and better than ever. This picnic, by the way, dates back over sixty years. At the outbreak of the Civil war a bunch of young men of that section gave a picnic there as their farewell gathering. Those who returned from the war, most of whom were members of Company E, held a | reunion there in 1866 and for half a | century the gathering was known as | MEDICAL. ‘Have You Uric Acid Trouble? ! Many Bellefonte Folks Are Learning How to Avoid It. Are you lame and achy; tortured with backache, and rheumatic pains? Feel nervous, depressed, and all play- ed out? Then look to your kidneys! When the kidneys weaken uric acid accumulates, poisoning blood and nerves, and many mysterious aches and ills result. Help your kidneys with a stimulant diuretic. Use Doan’s Pills. * Your friends and neighbors recommend Doan’s. Mrs. HA W. Raymond, Reynolds Ave., Bellefonte, says: “My kidneys were weak and I had a dull aching and soreness across my back. I could hardly sweep. I tired easily and had nervous headaches. My kidneys acted too often and annoyed me. I used Doan’s Pills from Runkle’s drug store and was relieved of the backache. My kidneys were in good order, too.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Pills—the same that Mrs. | Raymond had. Foster-Milburn *Co., i Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y. 69-33 the Company E reunion. But some eight years ago so few of the old sol- diers were left that the picnic rights were turned over to the trustees of the Presbyterian church and it has been held under their auspices ever since. Various sports were included in Saturday’s program and one hun- dred gallons of ice cream were sold. The management cleared $320.00. Several patriarchs took a hand in the threshing at the Mac Fry home one day last week. They were Capt. Fry, eighty years old, who fired the engine; David Robb, of Liberty town- ship, 86 years old, who fed the thresh- ing machine, and W. E. McWilliams, 77 years old, who tallied the bushels of wheat as they were carried away, the total ages of the three men being 243 years. Mr. Robb, by the way, was on a visit to his grand-daughter, Mrs. W. R. Port, and notwithstanding his advanced age is still hale and hearty. He is probably the veteran hunter of Centre county and can boast of killing more game during his life than any other man now living. In fact his record shows that 80 bear and 120 deer have fallen before his unerring aim, not counting almost untold quan- tities of small game. Mr. Robb is one of the charter members of Liberty Grange and a past master. BOALSBURG. Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Stover and child, of Coburn, were visitors at the William Meyer home on Saturday.

Penn State Alumni to Hold Round-up. An informal mid-summer ‘“round- ap” of alumni and former students of The Pennsylvania State College be- gins today at State College. This will be the first time that a gathering of this kind has been ar- ranged at the college. For many years alumni in various parts of the State have held picnic outings at parks in their districts, while June commence- ment periods and the home-coming day in the fall have marked alumni reunions on the campus. Alumni offi- cers have called the meeting for the purpose of talking over alumni asso- ciation affairs and projects of general interest to the college. The meetings start today, August 22 and the “round-up” will last until Sunday. A general invitation has been extended to all alumni who find it convenient to get to the college for the week-end.

Does it build or destroy; advance or retard progress? Wall Street is a name for the financial center of the United States. Here are found the country’s greatest banks, insurance companies, savings banks, trust companies, ete. Wall Street is to the nation what a local bank is to a certain district. It is governed by the same code of commercial honor. It represents and commands an enormous reservoir of capital; fed by many streams from the savings of the people. It has been and is now the most potent agent in the development of the country. Why? Because it concentrates. capital for large enterprises; while its stock exchange is the country’s only great market for se- curities. All our great transportation systems, our producing, manufac- turing and industrial companies are the results of its work. Its business is to finance companies and to buy and sell their se- curities; not to own or operate them. Thus Wall Street creates but does not control. ‘ The great companies are owned by millions of small shareholders. ~The American Tel. & Tel. Company has 825,000 owners. The Pennsylvania Railroad 180,000 owners. The interests of Wall Street are bound up with those of the far- mer, the worker, the manufacturer. National prosperity is essential to its life. : Abuse of Wall Street is the stock in trade of the cheap politician. There are gamblers there as there are gamblers everywhere. ; But the real Wall Street is constructive and is a vital part of the machinery of modern business. ‘The First National Bank Bellefonte, Pa.
