sects chiefly the Angoumois grain
moth and grain weevils,
In the ordinary farm bin a great
deal of injury by these insects can be
prevented by carefully cleaning the
bin before the new grain is placed ip
it. Bweep out all refuse graln from
cracks and crevices in the floor and
sides of the bin. Then epray with
kerosene emulsion using one part of
the stock solution to about five parte
of water, advises the extension ento-
mologist at The Pennsylvania State
College, Be sure to drive the spray
material into the cracks and crevices
where the insects or their eggs might
be hidden, Allow the bin to dry for a
week or longer before placing the
grain in it,
Kerosene emulsion is prepared as fol,
lows : Bbave up and dissolve one-half
pound of common laundry soap in one
gallon of boiling water. Remove thie
water from the fire and add two gal-
lons of kerosene oil. Mix the whole
thoroughly either with 8 hand pump
or by pouring from pail several times,
When properly made the mixture is a
creamy mass from which the kerosene
will pot separate. This is the stock
solution, which should be diluted as
previously directed,

finite wisdom, has called a faithfu

will, and at last hear that applause,
“Well done, gnod and faithful ser-
vent’ ; and that we extend to the be-
reaved wife our sincere sympathy in
this her sad hour of trial and loss.
And furthermore, be it
Resolved, that a copy of these reso-

Farewell Demonstration fof Boldief Beys,
A monster farewell demonstration
in honor of Troop L, of Bellefonte,
was held at the county seat on Batur-
day. It was the second affair of its
kind to be held within a year. Last
August when the boys departed for the
Mexican border a rousing rendoff was
given them, This year, because of the
more serious situation, and the greater
uncertainly which ls attached with
their early leaving for the southern
trainipg camp, the number of Centre
county people who attended the dem-
onstration was trebled.
The demonstration included a pa-
rade in which the Boalsburg gun troop
was represented as well as the G, A,
R., Bpanpish-American war veterans,
the P. O. B, A, and tue Bellefonte fire

It Grew From Pictures By Wh i. Men
First Wrote and Require gy Ageq
For Its Completion
No one really knows ‘all about where
the alphabet came from, because it
grew very slowly, like children and
every other good thing in the world.
But we know quite well that mo In-
genlous man sat down and made the
alphabet, and we know quite well, too,
that the alphabet began as pictures.
Just as a child reads or takes things
in by pictures long before It can read
letters, so men used to read and write
by pictures; and then these pictures
were gradually made simpler and sim-
pler until at last they could be used
In every and any way, as our letters
can, We know that the letter O was
at first the picture of an eye, and that
gradually men made the picture plain-
er, until at last they drew an QO. The
letter I was once a picture of a house;
and very likely a capital A may have
been at first the picture of a pyramid,
Ages and ages ago in Egypt men
used both kinds of writing, says the
Star. The priests used
which was the ple-
called the sacred
writing, In which the pictures were
turned into letters. Not very many
years ago men tried in vain to read
the old sacred picture writing of the
Egyptians, but they could not. Then
they found the wonderful Rosetta
stone, and this had written upon it
the same thing three times—once In
the pictures and once In the letters,
ind also once in other letters, and so
men got the key to picture writing,
and now it can be read easily.

Not All So Harmless.
The part of Father Christmas may
be easily overacted, as a certain town
councilor would be the first to admit,
He had been asked to take part in the
annual treat to the old folk at the lo-
cal workhouse, Made up as the an-
cient gentleman beloved of the chil
dren, he went, and for a time his
pranks and antics delighted the com-
pany.
Then a scrap of conversation he
chanced to overhear scarcely added to
the worthy councilor’s enjoyment,
“Ain't ‘e enjoyin' of hisself?' re-
marked one aged inmate to another.
“Wot a treat it is for the likes o' hel
ut why can't they let all the loonies
out on a night like this?"
“Well,” came the reply, “mebbe
they ain't all so harmless as this'n.”
Be Quiet.
“Study to be quipt"—-that is, study
to dismiss all bustle and worry out of
your inward life. Study also to “do
your own business,” and do not try to
do the business of other people. A
great deal of “creaturely activity” is
extended in trying to do other people’s
business, It is often hard to “sit still”
when we see our friends, according to
our ideas, mismannging matters, and
making such dreadful blunders. But
the divine order, as it Is also the best
human order as well, is for each one of
us to do our own business, and to re
frain from meddling with the busi:
dese of anyone else~Exchange,
«HEN A COLD IS NOT A COLD
If It Lasts Longer Than Three Days
It Is a “Nasal Sinusitis,” De.
clares Physician.
“A cold In the head which lasts
longer than three days 1s no longer
such, but a nasal sinusitis,” sald Dr.
John J. Hurley of Boston In an address
reported in the Medical Record.
Doctor Hurley was arguing that
“grippe” and Influenza were nothing
but an inflammation of the sinuses of
the face, that labyrinth of the passages
in the bones of the nose, cheeks and
forehead which empty into the nose or
pharynx. After comparing all the
classle symptoms of Influenza as de-
scribed In the textbooks with those of
sinusitis and polnting out thelr simi-
larity if not identity, he enlled “influ-
enza” and “grippe” the “alibis of ig-
norance,”
The flamiliar Influenza bacillus dis-
covered by Pfeiffer 1s found in many
but by no means all cases of so-called
grippe. It has a special aflinity for the

Why Singers Break Down,
Singing is an abnormal exercise of
the lungs, to say nothing of the other
organs involved. It over exercises the
upper portion of the body, forcing ab-
normal pressure In an upward direc.
tion and tending to overheat the up-
per portion of the body. Up to a cer-
taln point, a healthful stimulation of
the blood circulation is the happy re-
sult; but beyond that point, the in-
creasing motion imparted tends to
fever, and a reaction the next day
shows that a cooling down period has
been forced upon the singer's atten-
tion. ~Physical Culture,

Morning Glories.
Wild morning glories, like the llles

table honors from every acre where
