July 20-2¢ Barbers Will Scowl at This, Now it is positively asserted that long continued shaving of the face causes baldness. The theory is that all the hair making material in the sys- tem is used up in renewing the beard, the growth of which is immensely stimulated by constantly cutting back. Men who let their beards grow, wo- men and beardless races rarely suffer premature loss of hair. Knife Binde Removed From Foot. Dr. Reese, of Renovo, removed from the foot of John Dumm, of Sunbury, a plece of kuife blade that had been in his foot for 18 years. While fishing one day Dumm threw the knife to the ground, but it struck his foot and when withdrawn, the blade broke off, hue fou 1s given iiss 4 great deal of The Kissing Bug » Fake, Pipe DReam a i Probable Trolley Line, Some time in the near future, and we hope it may be real soon, our val- ley will be crossed by a trolley line con- necting Lewistown and Bellefonte, The line is now being built from Lew- istown to Reedsville. The men at the head of the enterprise are considering the extension to Milroy, and thence across the Seven mountains through to Centre Hall and Bellefonte. A charter was granted several years ago covering thie route, and what was once considered a dream is beginning to materialize. The line would mean a great saving in time to eastern points with Lewistown railroad facilities so close at hand as the trolley lines would bring them. The extension would be welcomed by all in this county. tai ud The Crops. Haymaking is ended and the crop was put into the barns in good condi- tion, favored by good weather, The crop was a fair average. Most all the grain has been hauled in and some farmers are threshing. The crop will be 60 to 70 per cent. The oats looks fair and is likely to be an average crop. The prospects are for a full average corn crop, and more, if August weath- er proves as favorable as this month in showers, Apples may be less than half a crop, many orchards resting from last year's yield. Potatoes, from all appearance, will come up to an average crop. Berries of all kinds, are the ordinary yield. Taken altogether, Providence has not forgotten the farmers and people of Centre county. SI Proposed Extensions. The Bell telephone company will soon begin operations in extending their lines to all parts of the county, in territory now not covered by them. The company has its lines connecting with nearly all towns in the valley, with the exception of one or two, and in the near future these will be includ. ed in the service.

TUSSEYVILLE, Twenty Chamber Suits..... Must be Sold... To make room for Fall trade. For Cash and Easy Payments. JOHN SMITH & BRO, 9-30 Spring Mills. Of Interest to Farmers, Here in something from an exchange that many farmers should read and profit thereby: “It has been decided by the courts that if a bicycle rider falls or sustains injury on account of a dog barking or snapping at him, that the owner of the animal is responsible for damages. In a recent case the cy- clist obtained $500 damages by reason of being thrown from a wheel on ac- count of a vicious dog attacking him. Our baby has been continuaily troub- led with colic and cholera infantum since his birth, and all we could do for him did not seem to give more than temporary relief, until we tried Cham- berlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. Since giving that remedy he has not been troubled. We want to give you this testimonial as sn evi- dence of our gratitude, not that you need it to advertise your meritorious remedy.—G. M.
