sunken down and many of the head-
stones and markers are in a tumbled
down condition. A new fence is badly
needed along three sides of the ceme-
tery, while the front fence should be
painted. Three ways were suggested
in which to raise the money needed
to properly fix up the place, namely:
A house to house canvass of the
citizens of the town; the ladies of the
town have volunteered to held a
series of community sales, and a
circular letter will be mailed to all
those whose relatives and antecedents
lie buried in the cemetery. It is esti-
mated that the cemetery can be re-
conditioned and put into shape for
about $800, and it is hoped that re-
money can be raised without making
it a burden on anyone. The committee
in charge consists of Rev. J. S. Eng-
lish, chairman; E. C. Musser, secre-
tary, and J. E. McWilliams, treasurer.

"The Republican party in Pennsyl-
vania is pretty badly mixed up at
present, with warring factions and
personal strifes. If I were a betting

money on the candidates who finally

zation. :
Women have the social standing at
Washington given them by precedent
according to the political positions of
their husbands or fathers, but the
vexed question of many people is
whether the woman is entitled to the
title of the man in the family. The
wife af the President of the United
States is never known as “Mrs. Presi-
dent,” therefore the wife of the Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court is not
entitled to be called “Mrs. Chief
Justice Taft.” Mrs. Grant invari-
ably spoke of her husband as Mr.
Grant and not General Grant.
Health. Observatories
Disease.
“Health observatories,” from which
forecasts of approaching epidemics
will be sent out, have been establish-
ed in the forty-four largest cities of
Illinois by Dr. Isaac D. Rawlings,
State health director, who adapted
the idea from the government weath-
er bureau.
Each station, says the April “Pop-
ular Science Monthly,” is supplied
with a weekly statement showing the
number and location of. all reported
cases of contagious disease in its ter-
ritory. With this information, the
local health officer can determine the
danger and take steps to overcome it.
Epidemics are no longer myster-
ious outbursts that spring out of no-
to Forecast
where and disappear just as sudden-
tly, Dr. Rawlings declares, in announc-
ing the opening of these observa-
tories; they are recurrent disturb-
ances like weather changes, that can
be predicted ;with reasonable accura-
cy. By the interpretation of careful-
ly gathered satistics and by follow-
ing the path of the disease, he aserts,
—— — ————
it is possible. to make an almost per-
fect forecast, which is of the great-
est service in aiding preventive medi-
cal work.
On this principle Dr. Herman Bun-
desen, Chicago health official, has
compiled a unique chart by which,
with the aid of statistics, he makes 3
graphic record of the course and fre-
quency of a disease and by which he
claims he is able to predict with cer-
tainty the nearness and intensity of
any epidemic.

news when it is news. Read it.
Flues Must Be Cleaned Often Burn-
ing Soft Coal.
The National Safety Council is out
with a bulletin containing advice with
reference to the burning of soft coal.
Horizontal draft passages in heat-
ers burning soft coal may rapidly fill
with soot and ashes. All flues should
be cleaned frequently—as often as
every day or two, if necessary—so
that the products of combustion may
pass on readily. The smoke pipe
should also be kept clean. Burning
pieces of tin, most commonly tin
cans, reduces the soot deposit in the
heater and the chimney. It is ad-
visable to do this at frequent inter-
vals. :
In stoking a stove or furnace with
soft cold one should avoid completely
covering the fire with fresh coal.
After a stove or furnace has been
freshly stoked the draft and the
damper both should be opened a short
period, so that the volatile gases from
the fresh charge of coal may pass off
readily. Then, after the blue flame
above the fresh coal ceases and the
normal yellow flame comes directly
from the glowing coals, the draft may
be closed and the damper in the
smoke pipe partly closed, to prevent
too rapid escape of the hot gases up
the smoke pipe. The latter should
not, however, be closed to such an ex-
tent that the odor of soft coal smoke
escapes into the building. Heating
plants burning hard coal may give
off carbon monoxide gas when no odor
is noticeable, and the above state-
ment is not a safe guide for regulat-
ing hard coal heaters. >
MEDICAL.
All Run Down?
So Was Mr. Cowher Who Tells His
Experience.
Are you tired all the time; worn-
out night and day? Does your back
ache as if it would break? Do you
suffer dizziness, headaches, rheu-
matic twinges or distressing urinary
disorders? You have good cause,
then, to be alarmed about your kid-
neys. Do as many of your townfolks
recommend. Use Doan’s Pills—a
stimulant diuretic to the Ridneys.
This Bellefonte case is convincing:
H. D. Cowher, prop. of: .elothing
store, S. Alleghany St., says: “After
a cold, my kidneys bothered me and
I was annoyed with a constant, dull
pain in my back. When I stooped, a
catch took me across my kidneys and
it was only with difficulty I could
straighten. My kidneys were slug-
gish and the secretions didn’t pass
often enough. It didn’t take much to
make me feel tired and worn out. I
bought Doan’s Pills at the Mott Drug
Co., and they fixed me up in good
shape.” :
