PLEASANT GAP.
Paul Byers visited friends in Mill-
heim over Sunday.
Mrs. Roscoe Treister spent the
week-end at Milton.
* Mrs. John Herman, Earl Rimmey
and wife, and Mrs. J. D. Herman
spent the week-end at Lewistown.
Mrs. Baird, wife of Prof. Baird, of
sur High school, has been sick the
past week, but is on a fair way to re-
zovery.
Our sportsmen are busily engaged
mr getting ready for the big sporting
avent of the season, that of slaughter-
ing the innocent buck. They all seem
partial to venison.
Mrs. George Showers entertained
the members of her Sunday school
slass, last Friday evening, at her
aome. It was a regular old-fashioned
party, and was greatly appreciated.
William Rossman shot a large wild
turkey last week, and present at the
feast on Sunday were M. M. Keller
ind daughter Margaret, Mrs. Lohr,
Charles Rimmey and the H. C. Gettig
family.
Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Melroy have
seen taking in the sights of New York
»ity the past week, and report having
2 grand time. It is to be hoped that
while there, they will not miss taking
in Coney Island.
Abraham Lincoln once remarked
‘hat nothing could be quite as contag-
ious as a good fish story, for if you
cell one everybody else immediately
thinks of another lie as big as yours,
and so the yarn goes around.
Miller Herman, of State College,
zave our town a brief visit a week
ago. Miller resided at the Gap for
some years, and since leaving us re-
‘urns occasionally and has a most
agreeable time among his old-time
friends and associates.
A family in Horntown had a new-
:omer a few days ago. It is a boy.
The other kids, as a consequence, were
quite, jubilant. A little sister asked
aer brother, “do you think he will
stay?” “Sure,” said the brother,
‘don’t you see he has all his clothes
iE.”
" Both Ray Noll and Harry Breon
aave ¢oal specialists here, and from
reports will, ere long, epen up a coal
mine, wihch fact will no doubt, cre-
ate a boom for our village. The in-
vestigations say coal abounds here in
abundance, and is of very good quali-
.y. Let the good work proceed.
The old poets wrote so much about
‘he fury of women that one is almost
iriven to the conclusion that the sex
was disposed to be vixenish in :those
ylden times. Now that women have a
sote same .as men, conditions may
shange. It remains to be seen wheth-
sr it will be for better or worse. Time
alone will tell.
When women lose their beauty of
‘orm they become less attractive to
men. They may possess the virtues
»f angels, yet they are not as loveable
1s if they were shapely. This may
sound odd enough, yet it is a fact, and
syne that cannot be ignored without
serious hurt to the race. Character-
ze it as a want of taste, or what you
will, the fact remains.
Miss Beatrice Noll will leave for
Philadelphia on Sunday to go into
raining at the Jefferson hospital.
May success attend her. Miss Bea-
rice is quite an intelligent girl and
vith her well known ambition her fu-
ure success is assured. Her intimate
soung friends gave her a farewell par-
.y on Monday night, which was large-
‘attended and a jolly good time re-
sulted.
Mrs. Jack: Noll, with a number of
riends from State College was
imong the number who drove out to
dittsburgh for the State-Pitt game.
They left on Wednesday and while
way will also visit Mrs. Noll’s son,
Leslie E. Miller, at Woodlawn, Bea-
ser county, making the return trip on
Sunday. During Mrs. Noll’s absence
\iiss Helen Schreffler will take charge
»f the work at the Noll home.
An -occasional wild-goose chase is
ather enjoyable than otherwise.
There is a clever admixture of bright
yrospect and disappointment, pleas-
ire of pursuit and pique of defeat;
jashes of humor, and dashes of petu-
ance; desperate determination and

unrewarded exertion; frantic efforts
and flat failure all combined, form a
crazy quilt which attracts attention
rather than affords protection from
the gaze of a curious and teasing
world. The goose has lots of fun and
the chaser gets valuable experience.
Our old standby, Whiterock quar-
ries continue to improve their plant
right along so that from present indi-
cations it will be but a short time un-
til we will be justified in claiming that
this grand institution will be first-
class in every department. The most
encouraging indication is that the men
employed there are working almost
up to full time, thus making many
happy homes. The men are well paid
for their services and as a rule are
well satisfied with the existing cir-
cumstances. It must be said to the
credit of the management that they
are doing their utmost to keep all em-
ployees at work regularly. If certain
departments happen to run slack oth-
er work is provided with a view of
adding to the comforts of all em-
ployees.
The father who attends to his pater-
nal busness takes his children to
church. As they walk along the street
or they sit together in the family pew,
with the father next the aisle, and as
they join in the acts and exercises,
and breathe the air of the place, the
family spirit is maintained and
strengthened. Quite apart from what
is done and heard at church, the as-
sembling there of the whole family
Sunday after Sunday is of social val-
ue. It makes a marked difference in
the children in their after journeys of
life. This was true even in a gener-
ation which took religion hard for the
children. Many of the children hated
it, but the discipline, even in its rig-
or, was good for them. They grew up
stalwart, self-respecting, and for the
most part God-fearing people. It
ought to be even more influential in a
time when religion and its graces of
life have again come to ar under-
standing. When the children grow up
to a companionable age the father
takes them out for his own pleasure.
He keeps acquainted with them,
knows what they are thinking about,
shares their confidences and their as-
pirztions, and prolongs his youth by
looking at the world once a week
through their young eyes. If there is
a museum, or a gallery of pictures at
the end of the walk, so much the bet-
ter; but if not, the common world is
good enough. At first the children
hold the father’s hand; aftex a while
they get too big for that, but they
never forget it. There has been es-
tablished a relationship of sympathy
and understanding which is a bene-
diction, and oft-times a salvation to
both the father and the child.
Fortunately the Gap has this season
a most reputable and efficient corps
of school teachers, the kind that are
adapted to please even the most fas-
tidious. Our High school principal,
Prof. Baird, was an unknown quanti-
ty, coming here a stranger, but we
find in him a number one instructor,
liked and admired by the entire com-
munity. He is strict, yet at the same
time fair and reasonable. To him,
RR EER
nature and intelligence is an open
book, and he is one of the best quali-
fied and happiest translators. Next
in order comes Harry Breon, grammar
school. He has been in the harness a
quarter of a century and is too well
and favorably known to require any
comment. He is a most superb and
successful instructor. Green fields
dotted with dandelions, wild birds fill-
ing the air with songs, stooping skies
blossoming with stars, rivers pulsing
to the ocean, mountains lifting their
heads to the clouds, storms of wind,
rain, hail and snow, suggest topics to
him and fire him with inspiration. The
other three grades are taught by mar-
ried women. Mrs. Grove, primary
teacher nearly thirty years’ exper-
ience, is simply unexcelled as an in-
structor. Mrs. McGargle, who has
been in the service for a number of
years, is a strict disciplinarian and
I am glad to note that she is most
highly regarded by all of her pupils,
which assures success. The last, but
not least, is Mrs. Elsie Herman Rim-
mey, who has had some eight or ten
years’ experience and on all occasions
made good. She is shrewd, well train-
ed and a most skillful manipulator of
the young. In fact our corps o
teachers are possessed of taste and
judgment, whose well balanced minds
are controlled by common sense and
conscience. Our teachers are not im-
ages carved out of wood and made to
wear a look of humanity; but, like
Topsy, they keep on growing.
JACKSONVILLE.
William Weaver lost a valuable
horse last Friday.
Deimer Ertley was a business vis-
itor in Bellefonte Saturday afternoon.

Gas on Stomach May
Cause Appendicitis
Constant gas causes inflammation
which may involve the appendix. Sim-
ple glycerine, buckthorn bark, ete., as
mixed in Adlerika helps any case gas
on the stomach in TEN minutes. Most
medicines act only on lower bowel
but Adlerika acts on BOTH upper
and lower bowel and removes all gas
and poisons. Excellent for obstinate
constipation and to guard against ap-
pendicitis. Runkle’s Drug Store. 69-47

of Howard, who is teacher of the Fair-
view school.
Some of our peope began to butch-
er on Thanksgiving day and that open-
ed the butchering season in our town.
Mr. and Mrs. Miles Bartley and
daughter Rebekah, of Howard, were
Sunday visitors at the Joseph Neff
home.
The services in the Reformed church
on Sunday were well attended, al-
though the cold weather kept some
from attending.
Mrs. Homer Yearick, who was a pa-
tient in the Teah hospital, at Lock
Haven, with appendicitis, is so far re-
covered as to be able to return to her
home on Wednesday.
$1000 Worth of Sweets Every Minute

More than $1000 worth every min-
ute was the rate at which confection-
ery and ice cream were manufactured

sued recently disclosed. Confection-
ery valued at more than $1,000,000 a
£ | day, and ice cream at more than $700,- | .
000 daily were reported by manufac-
turers.
Eye Strain? This Helps
For strained eyes try simple cam-
phor, hydrastis, witchhazel, etc., as

ed a 16.3 per cent. gain over 1921, and
ice cream, 21.3 per cent.
MEDICAL.
Back Bad Today?
Then Find the Cause and Correct it
as Other Bellefonte Folks Have.
There’s little rest or peace for the
backache sufferer.
Days are tired and weary—
Night brings no respite.
Urinary troubles, headaches, dizzi-
ness and nervousness, all tend to pre-
vent rest or sleep.
Why continue to be so miserable?
Why not use a stimulant diuretic to
the kidneys?
Use Doan’s Pills.
Your neighbors recommend Doan’s.
Read this Oak Hall case:
Mrs. Ralph Hassinger, Oak Hall,
Pa., says: “My back was weak and
lame and I tired easily. My kidneys
acted frequently. I used Doan’s Pills
and they soon strengthened my back
and regulated my kidneys.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Pills—the same that Mrs. Has-
singer had. Foster-Milburn Co.,

More than 2,000,000 miles of underground wires
must be carefully and constantly tested
to insure an uninterrupted service
Nearly a million miles of wire on poles (much of it 1m
a is guarded by hundreds of men, many of whom
use “fliovers” more economically to cover the territory.
Inside the Bell Buildings, “central office men” are always
on duty, making tests, checking up, and watching the mal-
lions of connections, every one of which must be perfect.
Twenty-tour-Ho
Vigilance—
TERNAL vigilance has been said to be
14 the price of liberty. Itis the price of many
things worth having.
One Policy
Certainly good telephone service depends on it
—vigilance in the maintenance of the plant and
in the correction of troubles before they occur.
Poles and cables, complicated switchboards and
circuits are being constantly tested, practices are
continuously observed and overhauled. From
every telephone there must be maintained a
ready-to-use talk circuit to the other 900,000 in
the state, and out over the lines to the sixteen
million in the Bell System. aly
4,000 of our employees—test men and “‘trouble
shooters” — devoie all or a portion of their
time to this work, in good weather and bad,
without let-up.
There is no great mechanism devoted to general
public use that is so complicated and delicately
adjusted as a telephone plant. It is designed —
and reasonably so—to give reliable service,
better today than yesterday. But only through
everlasting care and watchfulness. rie]
