PLEASANT GAP.
Jack Showers and family spent
Sunday with friends at Lock Haven.
George Rockey is again a happy
man. His mumps quarantine has ex-
pired.
Our old neighbor, Mr. Collins Baum-
gardner, spent Sunday with his sis-
ter, Mrs. John Herman.

chase of sheep.
Miss Dorothy Mulfinger, of Lock
Haven, spent a few days the early
part of the week at the old homestead.
Her presence is always appreciated
here.
The numerous aspirants have all
passed around their petitions at the
Gap. It will be different from the
early stages of the conflict, when his
Excellency made the appointment for
judge. The voters will now have theif’
inning, without any outside interfer-
ence. We await the result.
The Sportsmen’s festival held in
Noll’s grove, on Saturday night, was
very liberally patronized and a most
enjoyable time was the result. The
receipts aggregated $270. After de-
ducting the incidental .expenses this
worthy organization will add a com-
mendable balance to their bank ac-
count.
The children’s services on Sunday
night at the Lutheran church, were a
decided success and well patronized.
The children, as on former occasions,
did admirably well in rendering their
recitations; another evidence that
their instructors left no stvaie unturn-
ed to give a most satisfactory enter-
tainment. All was sunshine. The
good work emanated from God Him-
self, filling all present with exceeding
joy, that will never wear away; like
the tender flower in the fertile soil of
the heart, it grows, expanding its fo-
liage and imparting its fragrance to
all participants, until transplanted, it
is set to bloom in perpetual love and
unfading brightness in the paradise of
God. Our children seem destined to |
follow the star of Bethlehem; the !
bright morning star. |
I have observed that of recent years |
we have far more nervous people or
people afflicted with nervousness than
heretofore. I can’t comprehend why
it is unless it is the radical change of
the seasons for the past quarter of a
century; and it is to be regretted since
no vital function can be properly car-
ried on without a right performance
of the nervous system. Many of the:
sufferings which annoy the human |
family, especially those of a nervous |
nature might be avoided, if we would |
refrain from the violation of the laws
of health, by not indulging the appe-
tites and passions. Scarcely any sub-
ject is more unwelcome, especially to
those who prefer to indulge their ap-
petite and risk the injuries likely to
result, rather than bridal their pas-
sions and retain their health. Such
often insult their Maker, by attribut-
ing their sufferings to providence,
rather than to their own folly or im-
prudence, in the violation of His laws,
to which are affixed penalties that can-
not be evaded. Many, however, seem
to think that they have a right to vio-
late the laws of nature with impunity,
and treat their own bodies as they
like, forgetting that God will hold
them responsible. For every infringe-
ment they will meet with legitimate
and appropriate retribution. I am
satisfied that the injurious effects of
using stimulants and narcotics result
in incalculable harm to the system.
The great injury done to the nervous
forces by the use of such agents as
coifee, tea, opium, spiritous liquors,
and last, though not least, tobacco,
which latter is a far greater injury to
the nervous system than is generally
supposed, and is more permanent and
irretrievable than can possibly be im-
agined; yet their influences are so de-
ceptive to their lovers that very few
have understood their destructive
power. How many have gradually
stepped forward and onward in this
path which has conducted millions to
ruin; whose sensual appetites have
weakened and vitiated their mental as
well as their physical system, to a de-
gree of imbecility which, sooner or
later, has ended in the most fearful
consequences. Think, then, of the un-
measured woes of the drunkard’s fam-
ily, and the hereditary taint which a
drunken father or mother bestows as
an inheritance upon their children.
Will any one on reflection say this is
a matter of fancy, and not fact? A
word to the wise should be sufficient.

SMALL COURTESY
BELONGS TO PAST.
People of Today Too Busy for Such
Things.
If Sir Walter Raleigh placed his
coat in the mud for Queen Elizabeth
to step on today, would her majesty
be pushed aside by some modern
knight in a hurry to cross the street?
If the Holy Grail were a recent pro-
duct, would it arouse no more com-
nent than any other cup because the
value of its metal would nit finance a
quest for it?
One observer is apprehensive over
the passing of the age of chivalry. In
this age of efficiency, she says, good
manners are useless, and they have
béen abandoned almost altogether in
the mad scramble for money.
“Push, push, push,” is the watch-
cry today, whether it be on the street,
in the subway or on the trolley car,
says Elizabeth Robins Pennell in the
Forum, and when a man does rise to
offer his seat to a woman, a rare oc-
currence, she flops into it hurriedly
and without thanks before he has a
chance to change his mind. °
“It would be folly to expect a man
to go to the subway with any knight-
errant notions, any tomfool courteous-
ness for the other man less spry than
himself, or the woman less strong,”
she says. “He goes to get his train.
If to get it he must knock aside every-
body on the stairs to the station,
drive a way through the crowd on the
platform, fight like a tiger for stand-
ing room in the car—what difference, |
so long as he gets there.
“‘You don’t thank him,” one wom-
an in a French caricature reproaches
another, just given a seat by a Par-
isian who has not outlived his man-
ners. ‘No, indeed,” is the answer,
‘when a woman is too polite she seems
to show a lack of breeding.’
“If not to say ‘Thank you,’ is a sign
of good breeding, we can congratulate
ourselves on being the best-bred of
all nations. In the leisurely days of
an unprogressive past, ‘Thank you’
was one of the. first phrases taught to
the young. But the little superfluous
phrase is tao .severe a drain on pa-
tience and breath, now that new rea-
sons for thankfulness have multiplied.
“At one not-very-distant time, next
to no self-respecting American would
accept a tip. Today those of our crit-
ics are right in telling us we outdo
every other country where tipping is
the custom. Tip the shoeblack, the
hairdresser, the waiter, the manicur-
ist—and good form does not allow
them to notice it in your presence.
“I write my congratulations or my
sympathy or my interest to friends or
strangers on appropriate occasions,
and an acknowledgment is so unusual
that I prize it as a scientist might
some rare specimen of an extinct spe-
cies.’
{ U. S. TO BAR DAFFODILS
AND NARCISSL
Doomsday for daffodils and narcissi
is January 1, 1926. One more round
of blossoming for these two major
spring flowers, and they must go.
The United States Department of Ag-
riculture has decided to lock the doors |
of the Ellis island of flowerdom, so
that these immigrants from France
and Holland can no longer enter this
country after the first of next year.
James H. Burdett, director of the
national garden bureau, doesn’t like
it.
“The ban of bureaucracy has fallen
upon the daffodil and narcissus,” said
Mr. Burdett. “The federal horticul-
tural board is a perfect example of
bureaucracy in its creation and usurp-
ation of powers, as a result of which
it now claims the right to shut off the
importation to this country of all
plants, bulbs, and seeds produced in
the rest of the world. It was created
as a board of experts on insects and
plant diseases, with power to shut out
diseased plants and dangerous insects.
Its powers were emergency powers to
be exercised upon expert judgment,
only in exceptional cases.”
Since 1919, when the board took the
revolutionary step of declaring that
all plants and bulbs produced any-
where outside our borders were dan-
gerous and barred them, with a few
exceptions, Mr. Barrett says, the
board members have assumed the
1ight to say what plants are necessary
to the people of the United States.
He declares that insect specialists are
. not equipped for such a task and that
such power was never bestowed on
them by Congress. He says Congress
will be asked to make an investiga-
tion. .
He explains that narcissi are pro-
duced in France and Holland, and not
produced here commercially. About
90,000,000 bulbs were imported dur-
ing last year.
Narcissi bulbs bring in flies that
may attack onion fields, is the reason
given by the federal board for lock-
ing out norcissi. It is claimed that
the fly is already prevalent in this
country. The board estimates that
from 85 to 90 per cent. of the real in-
sect pest problems are due to foreign
importation.
rere fp A eee
American Autos Replace Camels.
American automobiles are ousting
the well-known camel as means of lo-
comotion over the Syrian deserts, ac-
cording to advices to the Department
of Commerce from Consul Gregg Ful-
ler, at Teheran, Persia.
“Along the old routes where two
years ago only the camel caravaus
could safely travel, scurrying Ameri-
can motor cars are now making their
regular trips from Aleppo to Bagdad,
from Bagdad to Beirut and Damas-
cus,” Fuller said.
Healthier,
Shows.
Improvement in the general health
of the nation has cut the annual death
rate 13 per cent. in the last decade,
according to estimates of the Nation-
al Bureau of Economic Research.
“Increased resistance to disease,
due to better physical well-being, has
been an important factor,” the report
states. “American families as a re-
sult are paying more attention to food
values for health’s sake than ever be-
fore.”

“AMERICANITIS” IS CAUSING
249,00 PREVENTABLE DEATHS
ANNUALLY.
“Americanitis” is causing 240,000
preventable deaths yearly in this
country. More Americans than any
other white people are dying from
heart disease, Bright’s disease, .apo-
plexy, and high-blood pressure be-
tween the ages of forty and fifty.
The hurry, bustle and incessive
drive of the American temperament is
responsible for this peculiar and char-
acteristic American mortality increase
during the “dangerous age” period,
between forty and fifty years. This
distinctly American phenomenon can
be remedied only by teaching the pub-
lic that at least 60 per cent. of the
400,000 such deaths can be prevented
by proper medical advice in the early
stages when these diseases are prac-
tically symptomless.
Such breakdowns as we read of will
continue until men know how to live.
An inordinate ambition to forge ahead
has driven many a man to his grave
years ahead of his time.
Two things are necessary to cope
with the situation. The first is a
yearly health audit. A second is a
‘hange in living habits of most Amer-
icans. They must slow down their
bodies and calm their nerves.

When is a Fruit Not a Fruit?
The perennial question has sprung
up again—when is a fruit not a fruit?
Ralph W. Cullings, chief of the dis-
tilled spirits division of the Syracuse
internal revenue district, has announc-
ed numerous inquiries that have been
received concerning the chief ingre-
dient in making fruit juices, as allow-
ed under the prohibition act.
Rhubarb is this year bearing the
brunt of the attack. For several
years it was found necessary to hand
down decisions that dandelions are

not fruit and therefore cannot be
used in making fruit juices. The
dandelion season is pretty well over
and among the thirsty are those
whose thoughts have turned to the
well known possibilities of pie-plant.
Accordingly, a decision was sought
at Washington and received—rhubarb
is not a fruit, all other authorities to
the contrary notwithstanding.
Heads of families are permitted to
make 200 gallons of fruit juices a
year. Juice from rhubarb is beyond
the pale and the Volstead act is being
violated if pie-plant is used.
The decision reads: “Dried fruits,
dandelions, rhubarb, etec., may not
lawfully be used in production of non-
intoxicating cider and fruit juices.”
.It appears that any one guilty of put-
ting “ete.” in fruit juices is violating
the law.
