Could you ask for more convin cine testimony? "I was in poor health for some time and weak kidneys caused the trouble." says Miss Peightel "I suffered greatly from severe pains in my back which often darted into my head. I often be came dizzy and had chills. I was losing strength right along and felt poorly and miserable in every way. Doan's Kidney Pills, at Trout's Drug Store, brought me quick relief." (Statement given November 5, 1907 ) Over six years later, Miss Peightel said: "Whenever I neei a kidney medicine now, I uie Doan's Kidney Pilla. They alawyi relieve me." 60 c at all dealers. Foster Milburn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y. Outdoor Vegetable Pit. Several small pits are better than one large pit for the home storog of vegetables, says the Natonal War Garden Commission of Washington. In the coldest sections ot the country, however, pits are not recommended be cause they cannot bemadeJrost proof. Make pits holding about, a bushel and .include an assort ment of vegetables in each one so that a complete supply for a few weeks may be taken out at one time. It is somewhat trouble some to open and close alarge pit tosecore an occassional supply of vegetables. Plan to divide up your root crops into lots to last a certain length of time and put one porton of each vegetable in each small pit, then when needed empty the pit and store the vege tables in a cool place for daily use. To make one of these pits level off a space of ground three or four feet square and spread a few inches of waste hay, straw or leaves over it Place the veg etables on this in a cone shape and cover with a few inches of the tame material. ThroT sev eral inches of earth over this and as the weather becomes colder add more earth and then cover with straw, mature, waste hav or cornstalks. The winter tem perature will determine the thickness of the earth and other covering, but be sure to have enough to keep out the frost. A large pit is made like a small one, says the bulletin, except that the straw a few inches across the top is not covered with earth. Build up the peak with extra straw to keep out the frost This small porton of straw thus forms a ventilating flue for the pit Lay a board over it and weight it down with a s tone, or nail two short boards together at right angles to make a trough to invert over the peak of tbe pit. Throw some earth over this cap to hold it in place. Dig a little trench around the pit and extend it far enough away to provide good drainage, do not allow standing water near the pit Small Finn For Sale. 20 acres, 2 acres in timber, 6 room house, stable, hogpen, chicken coop, good water near kitchen, 2 miles north of McCon nellsburg, near school and church, J "' nice "home for. small family.

From tho I blUdelphla Inquirer An Armistice is frequently a ruse of an enemy sorely pressed to gain time. It was unquestionably the idea of Berlin that if it could obtain a breathing spell, no matter if its forces were ob iged to evacuate conquered territory, it would still be in a position to defend itself from within its own borders and argue and har angue over peace terms. That idea has been pretty well shattered. The mad scheme for world domination has gone a glimmer, ing down the corridors of dis appointed hopes and of wild, wicked and insane ambitions. Any armistice that shall come must end the war in what would be tantamount to unconditional surrender. Not long ago Bui garia was given an armistice. It was followed by a tentat ve peace, dependent upon tbe final judgment of tbe peace conference when it shall be held. Bulgaria had to content itself with leaving its future in the hands of the Allns, trusting to their sense of strict justice. That is precisely what the Huns must do. But we need not depend upon Bulgaria for s precedent Uer many herself established one after her war with France in 1870 Six months of fighting brought the collapse of Napolen's armies. An armistice of three weeks was granted France by Bismarck. Whit were the term? The immediate sur render of tbe twenty live forts protecting Paris. Tbe troops in Paris to lay down their arms to surrender. The immediate pay ment of 1 10,000,000. These terms were only preliminary to peace. Tne uermans demanded one billion dollars by way of indemnity. They marched through the streets of Pans. At Versailles the wicked old King of Prussia was crowned Emperor of Germany. Alsace and Lorraine were wrested, from France, and the va9t Iron and coal mines were exploited there after by the Germans and they provided much of tbe material for the present war. . Ever since that event, Germany has been preparing for world domination. So in laying down the terms oi an armistice, there need be no squeamishness. We cannot speak for the military authori ties or voice what they have in mind, but it is permitted to guess at some of the terms. Tnus, all troops remaining in France, Belgium, Serbia or in other oc cupied territories must give up their arms. Metz, Essen, various strongholds and am munition centers must be hand ed oyer to the A'lied troops. Kiel and the suhmarine bases must be surrendered, and with them the submarine and the naval forces of tbe'lluns. No one will be satisfied unless Allied troops march through tbe streets of Berlin. The Germans must fully realize tbat they are "beaten to a frazzle." This by way of mere armis tice. As for the peace terms, they have been partially, only partially, announc id by the Pres ident lie has dea't with bound aries and the selfdetermination of oppressed people. But there is much more than that. There must be restoration, reparation. The French Senate has unani mously passed a resolution giv ing the Government power to act with the Allies in obtaining re paration Stephen Pichon, For eign Minister, made it plain to the Senate, which indorsed his views, that the atrocities which Germany has committed would have to have other atoaemeat than mere moral condemnation. The Germans must be punished sufficiently to prevent forever the possible recurrence of such crimes as the world recently has witnessed, he declared. Yes, there must be punish ment. The President has siid thtt we must not seek revenge, but we must deal out strict jut tice. We may consider that as a virtual ultimatum. Germany is in no position to negotiate for peace terms cannot be in the fut ore. She must, as did Bulgaria, leave her affairs la tne bands of the Allies. In brief, there can not be a negotiated, bat a dictat ed peace. Some day we shall face the armlstioe proposition in earnest. Some day we shall gather around VOTE FOR Do not overlook the NON-PARTISAN 'column on the official ballot at the election, Tuesday, November 5th, 1918. It is SEPARATE from the PARTY column, con tains the names of all candidates for Judge of the SUPREME COURT' and requires a SEPARATE mark.

He had been a successful practicing lawyer for thirty-eight years when called to the supreme bench on June 18, 1918, to fill the vacancy created by the death of the late Hon. S. Leslie Mestrezat. His appointment has been generally COMMENDED by the bench, bar and newspapers of the state. We believe that CAPABLE judges should be kept on the bench, therefore we urge the RETENTION of Judge Fox.

FOX CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE, W. 8. KIRKPATRICK, Chairman. Prepare The Bees For Winter. Last v inter 40 per cent of tbe bees in Pennsylvann were lost by cold or starvation. The av erage annual winter loss in Pennsylvania is 22 per ceut. or about 26,0(i0 colonies. One half of this is due to cold or starva tion. Avoid this lots tbi-s year by prepriog the bees for winter by packing to keep them warm or by cellar wintenug and see that each co'ony has at loast thirty pounds of honey for stores. If the bees are to be wintered out of doors, pack them. This is due to building a box around the hives. From one to four hives can be put in one case. If four are in one case, face two hives to the east and two west. These cases must be six inches hrper tban tbe combined hives and fill tbis space with planer shavings, dry leaves, chaff or chopped straw. Oae foot of picking on top of the hives is better than six inchos. Be sure that the roof is tight so that no water gets on the packing be cause if the packing bocomos wot it does not insulate the hives. Have tunnels of good siz3 from tbe hive entrauce to the outside ot the packing case so that' tbe bees can get out whenever ti e weather permits. Be sure tbat each colony has sufficient stores. Light honey is better than dark for winter stores, but buckwheat honey is good. Iloney from low growing plants is better than nectar taken from trees, because it con' tains gum. Iloney dew however jf any sort must not be lett in the hives, as it is not good for the bees. It will probably cause the death of Ibe colony betore spring. If there are any colonies which do not have enough stores atid Honey cannot be provided, use granulated sugar as a substitute. Make a heavy syrup of granu lated sugar at the rate of one pint of sugar to a little less than a pint of water. Use warm water, it will dissolve quicker and take up more sugar.

Senator William C Sproul, Re publican noininae for govenor, is hopeful the Pennsylvania elec tors will this fa 1 approve the con stitutional amendment authoriz ing the issuing of $30 000.000 worth of bonds to be med in the improvement of BtatJ highways While be tiads so 019 opposition to the proposition among mem bers of tbe Grange he believes a majority will be returned in favor of the amendment "The voting of, authority to issue bonds does not mean that tbe money is to bo spent during these abnormal times," said Sen ator Sp.oul. "After this war is over we may find it very convent ent in Pennsylvania' to have a large fund to be used in (riving work to the unemployed. At the last session of the Legislature I succooded in having a law put on th) books which provides tbat during periods of extraordinary unemployment, caused by in dustrial depression, state money can be spent on necessary public works. SUM IS NOT A LARGE ONE "Some people have the im pression that $50 000,000 is an enormous sura. They have not Btopped to consider it in tbe ligb of present day expenditures cf tbe Federal government It is costing $18,rO0,030,O00 a year or about $50 030,000 a day to keep the machinery moving. It must bo remembered that Pennsyl vania is contributing one tenth of tbe cost of the government, so that every 10 days the people of tbis state are tossing $5,000,000 into the Federal hopper. With this in mind, the $50,000,000 bond issue scattered over a term of years is not much of an obligation for Pennsylvania to assume." John H. Brewer and Ira W.
