his gloved hand before his face
or protection from the flying

When thou maketh a dinner or
supper, call not thy friends,
nor thy kinsmen, nor thy rich
neighbors; lest they also bid thee
again, and a recompense be made
thee; but when thou makest a
east call the poor, the maimed,
the lame and the blind; and thou
shalt be blessed; for they cannot
recompense thee; for thou shalt
be recompensed at the resurrec
tion of the just Luke 14:12-14.
That veteran sportsman, farm
er, and all around good fellow,
W. Scott Brant near Dane, in-
ormed a reporter some time ago
that 300 of the 400 quail which
was being fed. by him, failed to
show up after the heavy snow
all of two weeks ago. He can
not account for their disappear
ance except on the grounds that
they were covered by the snow
and that the below-zero weather
killed them. Too bad!
Our State Zoologist Dr. Kalb-
us, is either a more diligent
statistican than other states have,
or else this state beats all other
states in the Union for bears.
Not even Maine, nor any of the
Rocky Mountain states, can boast
of anything like as many bears
killed last season as fell before
the deadly aim of our hunters.
We have not time to go out to
consult our local authority on
bears (Mr. Seylar), but give the
number in our mind, as having
been killed in this state last sea
son, as 200.

number "13" of which the party
was composed had nothing to do
with their having a great time.
Resolutions of Resyect.
The following resolutions have
been passed by Camp No. 554 P.
O. S. of A.
Whereas, In the death of Na
than B. Henry, we are compelled
to mourn the los3 of one who was
not only a brother but was one
of the best men of our Brother
hood; whose indomitable perse-
verancefor the up-building of
our order will rest upon us as an
incentive to better lives and
greater deeds. Therefore be it
Resolved, That we bow to the
will of our sovereign God and sub
mit our wills to his, knowing he
who counts the very hairs of our
heads doeth all things well in
dealing with his children, and
while we mourn our loss, we bow
to his Divine decree.
Kesoivea, inat we extend our
sympathy to his many friends in
this community who miss the
presence of one whose friendship
was ever firm.
Resolved, That we extend our
sympathy to the family of Broth
er Henry, and commend them to
the care and consolation of him
who has ever been touched by
our cares.
Resolved, That these resolu
tions be spread upon our minutes
and that a copy be sent to the
County papers for publication and
another to the family of Brother
Henry, and that our charter be
draped for thirty days.

Two New Temperance Disciples.
That; "drowning men will grasp
at a straw" was never more clear
ly illustrated than when the two
openly acknowledged champions
of the liquor business came for
ward last week with a proposi
tion to save their client from fi
nancial loss at the expense of the
State.
Penrose and Gibbony have pro
posed to the legislature of the
State that State-wide prohibition
be declared, and that the State
appropriate $300,000,000 to reim
burse the dealers. This means
that every man, woman and chil
dren in the State hand out an av
erageof$50 each to ameliorate
the "sufferings" of the saloon
keepers. Think of it! Your f am
ily of six would be called on for
$300 to be handed over to the
man who perhaps ruined your
boy. Was there ever such a
monstrous proposition made
tin 11 i . .
vvnat aaas iuei to tne insult is
the fact that these two men are
in dead earnest about it, and are
flooding the country with their
etters of argument for their pet
scheme. At first we treated it as
a joke, but were dumbfounded
to find that a bitter controversy
is now being waged between
them and the influential minis
ters, newspapers, and the advo
cates of temperance.
Card of Thanks.
On behalf of the family, the
undersigned wishes to express to
the neighbors and other friends
their sincere appreciation of the
sympathy and deeds of kindness
shown during the illness, and
death of their dear mother, Mrs.
Sarah J. Cromer.

Stockholders meeting.
The annual business meeting
of the AlcConnellsburg Cream
ery Company will be held in the
Band Room, Saturday, March 7,

M. M. Kendall, Pres.
Geo. A. Comerer, Clerk.
J. J. Cromer and his brother
in law John Daldwin were wel
come callers at the News office
on Thursday oflastwaek. Jere
is connected with a b i g fruit
ranch in Washingtou, and made
the long journey home ;o be pres
ent at the funeral of his mother
Mr9. Sadie Cromer late of Fort
Littleton.
Last Sunday night, about ten
o'clock, an alarm of fire was
sounded while the wind was blow
ing a fierce gale. Knowing the
danger to the town under such
conditions, anxious citizens were
soon out on the streets to locate
the blaze, which proved to be in
the chimney of Miss Jennie Coop
er's residence. The fire burned
itself out before doing any dam
age, much to the relief of prop
erty owners.
Fertilizer Prices.
TheFarmers' Exchange, Schells
ourg, uedtord county, .fa., is
quoting low price on fertilizers
to members of that organization
If we understand the circulars
sent to this office from time to
time, it costs but a dollar a year
to become a member and receive
the periodical bulletins from head
quarters.
A recent bulletin quotes prices
for home-mixing as follows,
prices named being for goods de
livered at your railroad station, in
less than carload lots:
Each 1 per cent of nitrogen
costs $3.29
Each 1 per cent, of available
phosphoric acid costs 83 cents.
Each 1 per cent, of potash (in
muriate of potash) costs 84 cents
According to our interpretation
of the foregoing, a ton of the fol
lowing ingredients would, there
fore, cost as follows;', h i '
15 per cent nitrate of soda, to
supply the nitrogen wanted would
cost $49.35.
14 per cent available phospho
ric acid would cost $11.62.
50 per cent, muriate of potash
would cost $42.00
The foregoing figures are bas
ed on the supposition that the
three well known carriers are
used by Mr. A. B. Ross when pa
trons order through him. It mat
ters not, however, what the car
rier, is as the unit system of fig
uring would b exactly the same.
The News takes the three most
familiar carriers for its illustra
tion.
By keeping the unit prices in
mind, it is seen that any one can
quickly figure for himself wheth
er his dealer is asking the right
price forliis goods, and whether
the dealer would probably furnish
them at these prices if the buy
er paid him in advance, as is the
custom when ordering through
the Exchange.
Less Dyspepsia Now Here's the Reason.
The fact that there is less dys
popsia and indigestion in this
community than there used to b,e
ts largely, we believe, due to the
extensive use of Ilexall Dyspep
sia Tablets, hundreds oi package
of which we have sold. No won
der we have faith in them. No
wonder we are willing to offer
them to you for trial entirely at
our risk
Among other things, they con
tain Pepsin and Bismuth, two of
the greatest digestive aids known
to medical scieuce. They soothe
the inflamed stomach, allay pain,
check heartburn and distress,
help to digest the food, and tend
to quickly restore the stomach to
its. natural, comfortable, healthy
state.
There is no red tape about our
guarantee. It means just what
it says. We'll ask you no ques
tions Your word is euough for
us. If Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets
don t restore your stomach to
health and make your digestion
easy and comfortable, we want
you to come back for your mon
ey. They are sold only at the
7,000 Rexall Stores, and in this
town only by us.
Leslie W. Seylar, McConnells
burg, Pa.,
we greatly appreciated a
friendly call from Rev. W. M
Cline last Friday. This able dis
ciple of Wesley was appointed to
the St. Thomas circuit about a
year ago, but be retains his home
at Fort Littleton, going out over
the Cove Mountain every few
weeks to minister to the spiritual
welfare of his Franklin county
hock. Judging by appearance
Mr. Cline does not suiter for lack
of traditional M. E. "circus ri
der's" provisions; but for the
benefit of stray readers who' may
be fortunate enough to be called
on to entertain this most excel
lent and companionable gentle
man, we take thi3 opportunity to
say that the nearest way to his
warm heart is by way of a cup of
good fresh fragrant coffee.
A sad sequel to the death of
William Gallaher, which occurred
at Burnt Cabins two weeks ago,
was the breaking down of his
widow, whose mind has become
somewhat unbalanced by her
great sorrow. She was brought
to this place about ten days ago
and placed in Sheriff Harris'
care. President Judge Swope
was notified, and he will appoint
a commission, of three a law
yer, a physician and one layman,
to inquire into the facts and ex
amine the patient with a view to
see if her condition is such as
will warrant her being placed in
an asylum. It is a very sad case,
as Mrs. Gallaher leaves a large
family of small children who
need her motherly care,

You Can't Earn Money
When You're Laid I'p.
There are a lot ol people in this
town who cannot afford to be
sick. Perhaps none of you feel
that you can, but certainly some
of you can't, for as soon as you
are sick, your wages 6 top and
worry and debts begin to pile up.
The sensible thing for you to do,
as soon as you feel run-down and
worn out, no matter what the
cause, is to take something just
as quick as you can to build up
strength and health. Makeyour
self more comfortable aud pro
vide against serious sickness.
We don't believe there is any
other medicine made that will do
as much towards saving your
health and thus helping you save
your money as Rexall Olive Oil
Emulsion. It is a medicine that
gets right at the trouble and re
lieves it by toning the nerves, en
riching the blood, and giving new
strength and health to the whole
body. It doesn't do this by
means of alcohol or habit-forming
drugs, because it contains
none. Its strength and health-
giving power is due to pure1 Olive
Oil and the Ilypophosphites, long
endorsed by successful physi
cians, the one for its food value,
the other for its tonic value.
Here, for the first time, they are
combined, and the result is a real
nerve, 'blood and bodybuilding
medicine a real strengthener
that we are proud to tell you a-
bout.- You don't need toheistate
in using it, because if it doesn't
do all we say it will and satisfy
you in every way, it will cost you
nothing. If it doesn't make you
strong and well again, come back
and get your money. It will be
given to you without word or
question. Sold only at the more
than 7,000 Rexall Stores, and in
this town ouly by us.

as was common forty years ago,
when that part of the shoe was
