Mrs. Joseph Smoyer had a surprise
‘party, on Wednesday night last, in
honor of her father, John H. John-
.ston’s birthday. It was a sort of com-
" bination affair and turned out to be a
very agreeable entertainment. A few
intimate friends were invited to a
superb supper. The Smoyer family
~ will move to Bellefonte on April first,
hence they called their party a fare-
well party as well as a surprise to her
aged father, who was on that date, 80
. years old. At 7:30 p. m., fifteen
couple of our younger element put in
their appearance. At eight o'clock
. the dance started; very fine up-to-
date music was in evidence. The
_ dancing was continued until one
o'clock, when a delightful luncheon
. was served after which the jolly crowd
retired to their homes. All seemed to
enjoy the night’s festivities hugely.
Most of your readers have heard of
the late Mark Twain, one of the “fun-
. ny fellows.” He was slated to give
one of his interesting readings to a
very aristocratic audience. No one
knew him personally, so he was re-
- quested to introduce himself; the in-
troduction was as follows: “Ladies
~ and gentlemen: By the request of the
chairman of the committee I beg leave
to introduce to you the reader of the
evening, a gentleman whose great
' learning, whose historical accuracy,
whose "devotion to science, and whose
i reputation for truth, are only equal-
led by his high moral character; his
' majestic presence. I allude in these
© vague general terms to myself. Mark
once said he never had but one intro-
duction that seemed to him just the
thing, the speaker was not acquainted
with him. The introducer said, ladies
and gentleman, I shall waste no time
in this introduction. I know of only
two important facts about the man I
am introducing. First, he never has
been in a State prison; second, I can’t
, imagine why!
There are some facts concerning the
© prohibition issue that have a tenden-
* cy to cause us to pause, ponder and
. reflect. It is a fact that rum has
: transformed the fruits of the earth,
" ‘given by Divine Providence for the
~ sustenance of man and beast, into a
death-dealing poison which changes
men into demons. Rum has won our
~ young men from lives of sobriety, in-
. dustry and frugality, to a course of
drunkenness, indolence and wasteful-
- mess; and through rum’s enticement,
. many of our young women have been
. drawn away from the paths of virtue
- to dens of infamy and frightful depths
. of degredation.
Three-fourths of all the crimes com-
' “mitted, and four-fifths of all the mur-
ders can be traced directly to the ex-
cessive use of rum. The aid and sym-
. “pathy of the civilized world, the pray-
ers of all christian people, and the
help of Almighty God combined may
eventually banish this monster from
the earth.
The advocates of prohibition make
numerous mistakes; they are by no
means perfect in their deliberations.
Too many of their co-workers are now
spending time in prisons, however,
we are all liable to make mistakes.
For instance, several weeks ago 100
cases of Scotch whiskey was captur-
ed along the sea coast; the captors do-
nated 25 cases to a favored hospital;
when analyzed it was found the pro-
duct was strictly pure. The other 75
cases were dumped. This is emphat-
ically wrong; why not donate to other
deserving hospitals? This idiotic de-
struction looks almost like an unpar-
donable sin. All our hospitals that
understand their business are obliged
to keep in stock a supply of choice
liquor for medical purposes; they are
enabled to secure this indispensable
commodity through the appropriations
of the Legislative body. The source
of this revenue comes directly through
the tax payer; in other words, the tax
payer “pays the fiddler.” Why not
practice common sense and economy.
They should remember that all confis-
cated liquor is not “moonshine,” and
all strictly pure liquors should, as a
matter or economy and the salvation
of the tax payer be preserved and do-
nated to the various hospitals in good
standing.
Public sentiment is becoming alarm-
ed at the injudicious management of
the handling in many instances of our
prohibitory incidents. The
waits for better laws: or for better
men to administer the laws! The
whole moral sense of the community
world |
or ——
is congested with theories of temper-
ance reform, which have in them
every note of excellence but that of
personal service. We may make laws
until there is no part of life that their
restrictions do not cover, but all is in
vain if our laws are not properly en-
forced. We do not always see the
golden links opening in the course of
human events, but they are there, and
he is happy who feels their gentle in-
fluence.

Help for Old Folks
Old Age Should be Happy—Not a
Time of Sickness and Suffering.
Too many people begin to suffer at
middle age with constant backache,
urinary ills and rheumatic pains and
acl is. Weak kidneys are usually the
cause and, if neglected, there is dan-
ger . of hardened arteries, dropsy,
gravel or Bright’s disease. Help your
weakened kidneys with a stimulant di-
uretic before kidney disease gets a
firm hold! Use Doan’s Pills. Thous-
ands of old folks recommend Doan’s.
Here is Bellefonte proof:
Joseph Alters, carpenter, 310 E.
Bishop St., says: “My back ached so
badly I could hardly keep on the job.
It was hard to do any heavy lifting
and sawing. My kidneys acted too
often at times and the secretions were
scanty. I used Doan’s Pills from the
Parrish Pharmacy. My back is now
well and strong.”
