Attend Hearing to Discuss
Plans For Closing Road
County Commissioners C. C. Cumbler,
H. M. Stine. H. C. Wells and County
Solicitor Philip S. Moyer will be pres
ent Thursday, May 29, at a special
meeting of a board of viewers to be
held in the city council chamber, when
plans for closing the only public road
in Clarks Valley through Rush town
ship are to be discussed .
The commissioners have taken no ac
tion yet. but it is understood may op
pose the move as the road In question
is the only public one in the township
leading from one end to the other
through Clarks Valley.
According to officials if the proposed
plan to abandon the highway is car
ried out. the residents in the district
in order to get to the county seat in
this city would -be compelled to go into
Schuylkill county, then back to Wil
liamstown and from that borough to the
main line at Millersburg.
By closing the road it was pointed
out also that about 20 square miles of
territory along the eastern county line
would be without a public road leading
to the county seat, and large hunting
and fishing grounds would be closed to
the public.
Clubs in the upper end of the county
with hundreds of sportsmen enrolled are
busy circulating petitions against clos
ing the road and these have been signed
by thousands in that section. These
will he presented later to the viewers.
At the meeting next Thursday county
officials are to be heard.

DAILY HEALTH TALKS
The Many Mysteries of
Nature
BY L. W. BOWER, M. D.
You can take an onion seed and
a pansy seed, and plant them side
by side in the same spot of ground.
In one case, you get an onion, with
its peculiarly strong odor, and'in the
other you get a flower of rare
beauty. You can plant a poppy
seed and get opium (a dangerous,
habit-forming drug), or you can
plant a rhubarb seed and get some
thing that helps constipation. No
scientist living or dead, can explain
these mysteries of Nature. Behind
the invisible life germ in each seed
is hidden the deep secret that nobody
understands. Everything growing
out of the ground seems intended
for some use in establishing natural
conditions. Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo,
N. Y., long since found out what is
naturally best for women's diseases.
He learned it all through treating
thousands of cases. The result of
his studies was a medicine called Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. This
medicine is made of vegetable
growths that nature surely Intended
for backache, headache, weakening
drains, bearing-down pains, period
ical Irregularities, pelvic Inflamma
tions and for the many disorders
common to women in all ages of life.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is
made of lady's slipper root, black
cohosh root, unicorn root, blue
cohosh root and Oregon grape root.
Women who take this standard
remedy know that in Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription they are get
ting a safe woman's tonic so good
that druggists everywhere sell it.
Favorite Prescription should have
the full confidence of every woman
in America because it contains no
alcohol and no narcotic. Dr. Pierce
knew, when he first made this
standard medicine, that whisky and
morphine are injurious, and so he
has always kept them out of his
remedies. Send 10c to Dr.-Pierce's
Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y„ for
