I.—Though Bellefonte has strictly observed the pact two "heatless Mondays," desig nated by the Gartleld edict, many residents and businessmen are now looking forward to heatless Tues days, Wednesdays and every other day of the week. Formal notice has been issued by the Bellefonte Steam Heating Com pany controlled by ex-Judge Ellis L. Orvis. that at noon Saturday, Feb ruary 2, the city steam heating ser vice will be discontinued —a condi tion that leaves well over one hun dred patrons without heat, with February and March, two of the normally coldest and most blustery months of winter, still in prospect. Judge Orvis recently called a meeting of representative business men at which he explained that he !bad been conducting the steam heat ig plant this winter at a monthly fjs of $2,000, and followed this by i announcement that rates would 5 increased one hundred per cent., price that would be prohibitive. Ast January Judge Orvis closed the Iff' FOB SORT WO FEEI--AH Tiz" is grand for aching, swol len, tender, calloused feet or corns. Ah! what relief.

' FRIDAY EVENING, plant and a citizen's committee op erated it at heavy loss throughout the remainder of the winter. They therefore do not feel Justified in un dertaking a similar project at pres ent. The closing of the plant not only loaves a big majority of business places and scores of private resi dences without heat, but throws a burden that is the most serious menace upon the three coal dealers in town. Bellefonte is at present facing a practical fuel famine. For several days the coal dealers have been unable to meet orders and their yards are empty. With a hundred and fifty additional families to sup ply, the task is well nigh impos sible—in fact the coal dealers de clare the situation cannot be met. The formal notice that service will be discontinued comes almost im mediately after Judge Orvis an nounced that he had opened his own coal mine and was able to secure an adequate and regular fuel supply. The steam heating company now has on hand four carloads of coal, which is being retailed to custom ers at $0.50 a ton, though many busi ness blocks and tenament houses, heretofore entirely dependent upon city steam, do not have chimneys to utilize stoves, even if the latter could be secured. Every hardware store in town has exhausted its sup ply of stove 3 and the community is being scoured by anxious patrons of the steam heating company for sec ond-hand heaters. The action of the company in dis continuing service in the middle of the severest winter in a generation has left scores of families and busi nessmen in a decidedly serious pre dicament. Judge Orvis, head of the company, has solved the dilemma for himself and family by securing a suite of rooms at the Bush House, which has its own heating plant, and closing his residence for winter. -• MRS.
