An Illinois physician has revived the
Idea of resuscitating drowned people by
first immersing them In a hot bath for
twenty minutes or longer and then re
sorting to tbe old and ordinary methods
ol restoration. He says tbe lungs of a
drowned person do not contain water, a
spasm of tbe larynx occurring which pre
vents the entrauce of water for a period
of nine days. Drowning, socalled, is
merely suspended animation, and not
death. By this procbss life may be saved
if the body has not been submerged more
than six boifrt.

Mrs. Minnie Ellen Andrews, wife of
Alonzo Andrews, died suddenly of fatty
degeneration of the heart, at the family
home at Endeavor, Thursday morning,

Elmer E. Fleming, a Tionesta oil
man, was a visitor in the city yesterday.
He does not speak vory hopofully of con
ditions for operating in bis vicinity dur
ing the coming summer. He said tbat
there is a tendency among oil men to
drill only when necessary to protect lines
and that many of them believe a raise in
prices will come before long. Locally,
there is some talk of drilling. In the En
terprise field there will be some activity
as soon as the weather improves aud in
the Venango county district the Wenango
Oil company is planning a campaign.
But drillers and men well qualified to
speak of conditions are not exceedingly
hopeful and have no hesitancy in saying
tbat there will be less drilling tbis season
than last, so far as the local field is con
cerned. -Titusvill Herald 11th.
It is probable there will be more than

foot of Hilands street is being put In

those interested. It has often been a
cause of wonder why the fine rowing and
boating on the creek and river has not
been more utilized by our citizens, or a
greater appreciation shown for the de
lightful body of water lying at our very

will stimulate an interest lu tbe exhil
arating sport and pastime. Thousands

Joe Brown, better known as "Darkle
Joe," was arrested Thursday evening of
last week by policeman J. J. Lawson,
who caught him lu the act of buying liq
uor for a minor. He was given a hearing
before Squire Borden, and in default of
bail was taken to jail to await trial. Pro
curing liquor for minors Is a serious of
fense against the law, and it Is not likely
that Joe will be seen about Sheffield for
some time to come. There are others
here who have been engaged in tbe same
practice, tbat of procuring liquor lor
minors and for men who cannot gel it at
the bars, and it would be well for them to
take warning if they would avoid trouble,
Sheffield Observer. Almost every
community is cursed with tbis sort of
lawless persons, and a little wholesome
administration ot tbe law in sucb
cases would doubtless have a tendency to
lessen the evil if not effectually cure It.

Dear Sir: A new word bas come Into

paint as strong as paint can be. Weak
paint Is paint not bo strong.
If one paint takes 10 gallons to do a job

If one paint wears 10 years, and anoth

Tbe strongest paint is the one that

But do such differences exislT Yes

tan es more than 20 of some. And a job
of Devoe wears several times as long as a
job of some paints.
(). E. Perry, East 8th St, Erie, Pa.,
painted two bouses same size; same time;
with two paints same price; took 3 gal
lons Devoe to 4 of tbe other; and in three
years Deyne was the better looking job.
Tbere are strong and weak paints; we
all want tbe strongest; paint can't be too
strong.
