tie, and Mr. and Mrs. John Herman,

of their vacation at the Grange pic-
nic. They seem to think that visit-
ing Centre Hall at this particular time
is a delightful occurrence and causes
a universal expansion of vital action;
the heart seems to bound more light-
ly, and the body appears literally to
dilate under the pleasurable affections|”
of the mind. John Herman remarked
a few evenings ago, that to be at the
Granger's camp makes one feel more
contented. It causes nature to smile
with us; the air is apparently more
balmy, the sky clearer. The flowers
smell more fragrant, the birds sing
sweeter, and the sun, moon and stars
seem to shine brighter.

“Spare that Tree” Pinchot Orders.
“Woodman, spare that tree,” by or-
ders of Governor Pinchot.
This warning in large letters is pla-
carded on a 300 year old oak tree in
upper Octoraro Churchyard, near
Coatesville.
The State Highway Department
had wanted to cut down the tree in
order to run a new concrete road
through the spot where it now stands.
Local citizens organized and named
Representative William W. Long, as
their spokesman. He telephoned Pin-
chot at Milford and the Governor im-
mediately ordered that the tree stand.
The new road will wind around the
tree instead of over its roots.
Saving His Breath.
The judge eyed the prisoner stern-
ly. “Have you anything to say be-
fore sentence is passed upon you?” he
demanded.
“What’s the use, judge?” the cul-
prit asked. “You won’t take my word
against them 12 guys wot found me
guilty.”
MEDICAL.
Oh! My Back!
Aching Backs Make Life Miserable
for Many Bellefonte People.
It isn’t right to suffer day in and
day out with dull, unceasing back-
ache. Or be utterly miserable with
sharp stabs of pain whenever you
stoop or lift. But chances are you
will suffer these tormenting aches and
pains as long as your weakened kid-
neys are neglected. You may have
headaches, too, spells of dizziness and
urinary disorders. Then use Doan’s
Pills—a stimulant diuretic to the kid-
neys. Experiences of. Bellefonte peo-
ple prove the merit of Doan’s. -
Mrs. H. W. Johnson, Valentine St.,
says: “I felt so miserable with back-
ache I could hardly stand. Mornings
when I came down stairs I was so
lame I couldn’t raise my feet to go up
the steps again. My kidneys were
disordered and annoyed me. Doan’s
Pills from Runkle’s drug store soon
put an end to my suffering.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy-—get
Doan’s Pills—the same that Mrs.
Johnson had. Foster-Milburn Co.,
