might be mentioned the fact that last

camped on the Detwiler preserve,
came in on Friday with two bucks.
While out hunting last Thursday

crack at a buck and though he thought

ran quite a distance before falling
down. The Stone Cabin party came
in on Friday with five bucks and a
bear. Charley Meyers took a shot at

kill it. In addition to the deer and
bear killed by hunters from this sec-
tion thirty foxes were secured, quite
a number of raccoon and considerable
small game.

ARE BEES PUGNACIOUS?
Popular belief has it that the bee is
a savage little creature put upon this
earth to sting people. Incidentally it
makes a little honey, but its great
mission in creation is to be ever on the
alert for a person to pester and sting.
There are so many misconceptions
regarding insects! A bee will sting in
defense of its life or its home, and
very, very seldom at any other time.
According to one authority, it is
doubtful that one bee in one thousand
ever uses its stinger. They are ner-
vous little bodies, but not savage;
often restlessness in one colony will
make an entire apiary seem out of hu-
mor. Replace the queen in that one
colony with one of better temper, and
the trouble is over.
When a bee is at work on flowers
you could hardly force it to sting you;
and when one gets into your house,
stinging is the furthest thing from its
mind. It wants to get out just as bad-
ly as you want it out, and all you have
to do is open the door. There is not
the least cause for excitement or e
fort to kill the bee.
A bee is like a bull in its resentnien
of quick, jerky movements on a per-
son’s part. If you get too near a hive
when the inhabitants are a bit cross,
a bee may attack you.
If you run, especially if you strike
at it, it may sting you; but if you hold
your head down, keep your hands at
your sides, and walk quietly away, the
bee is pretty apt to turn back after it
has forced you to retreat to a safe dis-
ance.
Surprising things can be done with
bees by the person who is fearless,
kind and deliberate. An acquaintance
tells me that he has many times plac-
ed his bare hand right over a bee that
was busy on a flower and made the
little creature a prisoner in his palm.
He says that as long as the grip re-
mains loose enough for the bee to
move a little and seek escape there
will be no effort to sting; but that if
the hand tightens, the insect recog-
nizes its danger, and fights for its life
in the only manner it knows . My ac-
quaintance worked with bees for
many years, and he is emphatic in de-
nying that they are quarrelsome.—

Venetian Glass.
Venice has long led the world in the
manufacture of beautiful glassware.
Glass works were early established in
that city and the taking of Constan-
tinople in 1204 gave the Venetians the
opportunity of acquiring additional
knowledge of the art. During the
Fourteenth century beads, false
stones, and imitations of jewels, rath-
er than cups and the like, seem to
have been the chief productions of the
Venice workman. Venetian glass is
usually of extreme thinness, being
nearly always blown, and there is an
endless variety to be found in the
shapes and in the application of col- } Pittsburgh Sisters Won the Slogan

Plan 88-Story Building.
New York is to have an eighty-
eight story office building, outranking
in height the Woolworth building,
which has fifty-one stories, according
to information in real estate circles.
A test to determine whether the
Woolworth tower sways in winds of
high velocity is said to have been
planned in contemplation of the new
skyseraper’s construction.
At the offices of Cass Gilbert, arch-’
itect, it was admitted the project was
under consideration.
The structure will occupy an entire
block in downtown Broadway, itis
said.—Ex.

Fig Delight.
One-half cupful sugar, one cupful
brown sugar, half cupful milk, half
cupful chopped figs, half tablespoon-
ful butter, one teaspoonful vanilla.
Boil sugar and milk until it forms
a soft ball in cold water. Take from
the fire, add butter and vanilla and
beat until creamy. Stir in the chop-
ped figs and pour quickly on buttered
pans.

MEDICAL.
Work Wearing You Out?
Bellefonte Folks Find a Bad Back a
Heavy Handicap.
Is your work wearing you out? Are
you tortured with throbbing backache
—feel tired, weak and discouraged?
Then look to your kidneys! Many oc-
cupations tend to weaken the kidneys.
Constant backache, headaches, dizzi-
ness and rheumatic pains are the re-
sult. . You suffer annoying bladder ir-
regularities; feel nervous, irritable
and worn out. Don’t wait! Use
Doan’s Pills—a stimulant diuretic to
the kidneys. Workers everywhere
recommend Doan’s. Here’s a Belle-
fonte recommendation.
Mrs. Howard Shuey, S. Water St.,
says: “My back ached so I couldn’t
get a night’s rest. My work tired me
out and I often had to neglect it. I
was hardly ever free from headaches
and dizzy spells and my kidneys
didn’t act right, either. Doan’s Pills
from the Parrish drug store stopped
the backaches and other signs of kid-
ney trouble.”

it just happens that they are sisters—
were the successful contestants for
the $200.00 prize offered by the Penn-
sylvania State Chamber of Commerce
for the best slogan descriptive of
Pennsylvania’s many attractions for
the tourist. The State publicity bu-
reau committee selected the following
two graphic lines out of the many
thousands of slogans submitted from
all parts of the United States and
even Canada:
Forty Thousand Squire Miles Beau-
tiful.
Modern Highways and Historic By-
ways.

Mirkil, publicity manager for the
Pennsylvania State Chamber, are
Miss Fidelis R. Ryan and Miss May E.
Ryan, sisters, both residing at 3019,
Bergman street, Pittsburgh.
Much Driving Hurts Eyes.
After a long drive always wash
your eyes with simple camphor,
witchhazel, hydrastis, etc., as mixed
in Lavoptik eye wash. This removes
dust and germs and counteracts effects
of wind and sun. Stops dryness and
burning. Runkle’s Drug Store. 69-50.

“Come dinner” says Dad-—that

I never like to see him sad.

Dinner time always cheers

served that makes a ‘“spe-
