Pastor Accepts Call.
The Rev. John S. Hollenbach, who
for the past two and one-half years
has served as pastor of the Aarons-
burg Reformed charge, has accepled
the unanimous call extended him by
the Manchester, Md., Reformed
charge, located in Maryland Classis of
the Synod of the Potomac. This call
came to him without any solicitation
on his part. This charge had as its
pastor during a period of more than
twelve years the Rev. Dr. William
Rupp, who shortly after taking up
his work in another field was called
to the chair of Practical Theology in
the Reformed Theological Seminary at
Lancaster.
The pastor's resignation was ac-
cepted at a meeting of the Joint Con-
sistory of the Aaronsburg charge. The
executive committee of West Susque-
hanna will hold a special meeting at
the Reformed parsonage, Aaronsburg,
Thursday, October 23, at 2 p. m. at
which time the pastoral relation be-
tween Rev. Hollenbach and the
Aaronsburg charge will be dissolved,
a dismissal to Maryland Classis grant-’
ed him, and a supply committee for
Jie charge thus made vacant appoint-
ed.
The Manchester charge consists of
three congregations. The greater
part of the services are to be given to
the Manchester congregation which
has more than half of a total con-
stituency of over four hundred and
fifty members.

Grange Well Financed.
One of the big assets of the Grange
movement of the country is the fact |
that it is substantially financed, which
enables it to carry out many projects
of rural benefit in legislative lines and !
otherwise on an extensive scale. The |
National Grange has a treasury of |
nearly $150,000 and many of the State |
Granges are equally well financed;
Michigan being a noteworthy example,
with a treasury surplus of more than
$50,000. In the case of all these
Grange funds a large. portion is in-
vested in Liberty bonds, purchased
during the stress of the war emergen-
Cy.
Dr. POTTER'S WELFARE IDEAS
FOR THE STATE’S CRIMINALS.
Harrisburg.—Removal of the east-
ern penitentiary from Philadelphia to
a site in the country outside the city,
completion of the Rockvew prison to
accommodate at least 1500 inmates,
and erection of an institution for de-
fective delinquents are the three ma-
jor propositions in the legislative pro-
gram for penal reform of the depart- |:
ment of welfare, which the 1925 Gen-
eral Assembly will be asked to consid-
er, Dr. Ellen Potter, secretary of wel-
fare, has announced.
Doctor Potter advocated the erec-
tion of a new eastern penitentiary up-
on the unit plan, but only, however,
“If the State commits itself to a pro-
gram which will permit the establish-
ment of three penal districts within
the State.”
For the eastern penitentiary the
secretary advocated the purchase of
approximately 2000 acres of land and
the erection of an institution which
would house 1500 inmates. This, she
declared, would permit the prisoners
to raise much of the food consumed,
as well as give them the opportunity
for farm life. Such an institution
could be erected at a cost of approxi-
mately $1000 a bed, whereas the
Rockview prison is costing approxi-
mately $4000 a bed under the orignal
plans, she said.
“By dividing the State into three
districts we would be following the
plans of the country’s foremost pen-
ologists,” Doctor Potter said. “The
eastern penitentiary would take care
of prisoners from the eastern section
of the State; Rockview from the cen-
tral part, and the western peniten-
tiary, Pittsburgh, those from the
western part of the State.
Laurelton village, which now houses
150 inmates, should be enlarged to
care for at least 1000, with a large ad-
dition to Fairview necessary, she de-
clared. Erection of a central reform-
atory for women was advocated for
the reason that girls and women could
be accommodated in one institution,
with the various classes of prisoners
segregated.
Legislation to provide proper hous-
ing facilities for members of staffs and
the workers in State institutions and
to provide for expansion of the insti-
tutions devoted to the care of the
State’s feeble minded and insane per-
sons also is on the legislative pro-
gram of Dostor Potter. A study has
shown the average annual increase of
feeble-minded and insane persons in
Pennsylvania is 600, she said, declar-
ing that accommodations must be pro-
vided to care for them.
Doctor Potter said that housing
conditions at many of the institutions
were neither “adequate nor decent”
for the employees, asserting that in
some instances they lived in rooms in
attics.
The great need in the institutions,
as regards inmates, is the necessity
of more beds for women feeble-mind-
ed and insane, Doctor Potter said,
pointing out that the institutions’ pop-
ulation in July was approximately
4500 feeble-minded and 22,661 insane.
“When one considers the average
annual increase is 600 for these two
kinds of mental disorders, you can re- |.
alize why expansion is necessary,”
Doctor Potter continued. “We now
are conducting thirty-three mental
clinics which handled more than 2000
cases last year. By taking these cases
in time, and administering proper
treatment, we are bound to decrease
the number of patients admitted to
the hospitals for mental diseases.

What my Neighbor Says
Is of Interest to Bellefonte Folks.
When one has had the misfortune
to suffer from backache, headaches,
dizziness, urinary disorders and other
kdney ills—and has found relief from
all this sickness and suffering, that
person’s advice is of untold value to
friends and neighbors. The following
case is only one of many thousands,
but it is that of a Bellefonte resident.
Who could ask for a better example ?
Harry Rossman, drayman, says:
“My kidneys didn’t act right and I
had to get up several times at night.
My back was lame and ached a great
deal, especially in the morning, mak-
ing it hard to keep at my work. I
used Doan’s Pills and they quiskly re-
lieved me of all signs of kidney trou-
ble. My kidneys were soon acting
regularly.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get

man had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs.,
