CRUSADE
AGAINST PROFANITY
A Movement WMoh is Taking in Some
cf Our Neighboring Towr.s.
In an age and a country such as ours
where in the home or the Sunday school
every boy has the benefit of religious
training it ought to be unnecessary to
add one word here in condemnation of
the evils of profanity. Where is the
man who would dare say one word in
defense of it V
And yet profanity is prevalent fear
fully prevalent. One hears it on every
side—by men in the offices and work
shops, who want but a slight provoca
tion to set them off in a tirade in which
(Jod's name is taken in vain, one hears
it upon the streets indulged in by boys
in imitation of men who swear shock
ingly and flatter their souls with the
delusion that it makes them appear
manly
In view of the above a crusade has
been started in this state against the
abominable habit of swearing. The
movement, which was inspired by a
series of articles in the "Philadelphia
Inquirer" alreadv embraces, Shamokin.
Hazleton. Freeland along with other
towns of this section and promises soon
to become general. Anti-Profanity soc
ieties have been organized, the prime
object of which is to check the habit of
swearing, imposing a fine of. say 25
cents, for every outburst of profanity.
A movement so praise worthy in other
towns is equally to be commended at
home. Is Danville to have an Anti-
Swearing Club? In each of our neigh
boring towns the movement is under
consideration and Danville will not
want to appear slow.
Of course the agitation must rest
mainly with church people. Who among
them will be the first to take up the
work V
A CASE OF IT.
Many More Like it in Danville.
The following case is but one of
many similar occurring daily in Dan
ville. It is an easy matter to verify its
correctness. Surely you cannot ask
for better proof than such conclusive
evidence.
Mr. David D. Jones of 401 Church
street, says: "Doan's Kidney Pills cured
me of an enervating backache and lame
ness across my kidneys. I might say I
had aching stitches just over my hips,
and later on I had a great deal of pain
through the top of my head. Doan's
Kidney Pills invigorated the kidneys
and though I did not use them a great
while, they cured me and I have had no
return of the trouble since. As a remedy
for kidney afflictions they were so satis
factory in my case that I am glad to en
dorse the claim made for them at all
time."

Letter from the Philipines.
Mrs. Annie Young, 217 Chambers
street, Friday received a letter from
William Phoenix, a Danville boy serv
ing in the Philippines, describing the
tragic death of a comrade and asking
people here to assist in conveying the
sad news to the boys' surviving mother
and sister, whose addresses are un
known in the Philippines.
From the letter, which was written
at Manila on November 28th, the fol
lowing details of the tragic event are
gleaned. The deceased soldier, whose
name was Walter Frilbitt, a member of
Company C. 25th infantry, was killed
by a shark. With a comrade on Thurs
day afternoon November 28, the same
day on which the letter was written,
Frilbitt went boat riding on a river,
which it appears is infested with "man
eaters." Unaware of this fact the young
soldier disrobed and leaped in the water
to take a swim. He had not got ten
yards from the boat when he gave a
horror stricken scream. His companion
rowed to the spot and assisted him into
the boat, when it was found that lie had
been seized by a shark and fatally bit
ten. He lived only five minutes. With
his last breath he called for his mother.
Frilbitt, who was only 17 years of age,
had been in the government service over
a year. But little was known of the
boy or his relatives. He often spoke iof
his mother and his sister, the former
living somewhere in Philadelphia.
Private Phoenix asks that the papers
print an account of the affair with the
hope that the news may reach the
mother and sister. The letter concludes
with the statement that the dead
soldier "was put away the next day
after the accident at ten a. m."
Mr. Wheeler Got Rid of His Rheumatism.
"During the winter of 1898 1 was so
lame in my joints, in fact all over
my tody, that 1 could hardly hobble
around, when I bought a bottle of Cham
berlain's Pain Balm. From the first ap
plications I began to get well, and was
cured and have worked steadily all the
year.—R. WHEELER, Northwood.N. Y.

THOS. < '■ VINCENT, Proth'y
Between the ages of fifteen and forty
five, the time when womanhood begins
and motherhood ends, it is estimated
] that the aggregate term of woman's
• suffering is ten years. Ten years out
'of thirty' One sbird of tin- best part of
' a woman s life is satrficed' Think of the
j enormous loss of time' But time is not
1 all that is lost. Those years of suffering
i steal the bloom from the cheeks, the
brightness from the eyes, the fairness
from the form. They write their record
: in many a crease and wrinkle What a
boon then to woman is I)r Pierce's Ea
j vorite Prescription. It promotes perfect
regularity, dries up debilitating drains,
heals nnceration. cures feinal weakness,
and establishes the delicate womanly
I organs in vigorous and perment health.

COLLECTION OF
FILIPINO CURIOS
Belonging t3 Jaison Vastine of South
Danville now Attracting Atten
tion in Suntury.
What is nuqnestionably the finest col
lection of Philippine curios that has yet
reached this section has been placed on
exhibition in one of the show windows
at Dr. P. 11. Renn's drug store by T.
Jndson Vastine, of South Danville, who
was principal musician in the band of
the 43d regiment United States Volun
teers, which served in the Philippine is- :
lands.
The collection is a museum in itself
The most interesting object probably is
a model of a native house 22xlH inches.
The model is a true counterpart of a na
tive shack, constructed of the same ma
terial. bamboo. It is an object lesson,
and from it one can obtain a correct
idea of a Filipino shack, which may be
10x12 feet, one story high and support
ed by posts three or four feet above
ground.
It contains a large hall or opening on
one side into a row of bedrooms and on
the other to a broad veranda. It has no
chimney, as no fire is used in the house
cooking being done outside. The roof i
effectually turns water, but the building :
is no protection against cold, as air
blows through the loosely constructed j
sides and floors. Pigs and chickens of i
the family are quartered under the |
building.
In the collection there is a beautiful |
rug, soft and flexible, deftly woven of ;
sea grass, upon which the Filipino,
sleeps and in which he rolls himself j
when the nights are cool. There are
also brooms and buckets, odd in the ex- i
treme; beautiful, delicately wrought ;
fans, and many other small trinkets. |
The weapons of the collection form no 1
small part, representing bolos and dag
gers of every description, some crude
enough in appearance, but finely
wrought and mounted. Some of the j
designs, especially that of a Malay j
"Crese." are particularly crnel and t
murderous looking, giving a good idea j
of what our boys in the Philippines |
were "up against." One of the weap
ons which Mr. Vastine values very :
highly is a dagger by which he was .
stabbed in the face by a native. The ,
scar of the wound remains, but the Fil
ipino who inflicted the gash is no more,
as he was shot dead by one of Mr. \ as
tine's companions before he could strike
a second blow.
A jug of 'Beuo." or Filipino whiskey,
tobacco ami scores of other articles
make up the collection which it would
be useless to describe at length. It
would require at least one-half day to
look them carefully over. —Snnbury

VERY MUCH WANTED.
The Last Few Years Has Shown a Remark
able Increase of Sleeplessness—How
to Overcome It.
Sleeplessness is one of the most proli
fic sources producing a weak—nervous
and restless condition —There is no sense
in using opiates, they only undermine
the constitution—Nothing has ever been
known to perfectly control this condi
tion until the advent of Dr. A. W. Chase's
Nerve Pills—Their action is so gentle
and soothing a sweet refreshing sleeps
follows then nature has a chance to
build up.
Mr. J. M. Kline, of Paxinos, Pa..says.
"Last fall 1 got a box of Dr. A. W
Chase's Nerve Pills at Gosh's Drug
Store, Danville, Pa., and had my wife
use them. She had suffered a great deal
from nervousness and sleeplessness and
nothing seemed to do her much good.
The Pills acted like a charm —soothing
and quieting the nerves. She speaks
most highly of them and I haye no hesi
tation in recommending them."

ewes are well fed on "bran mash,"
with roots or ensilage, the best re
sults will follow and the highest per
cent of lambs will be saved while the
ewes are yet kept in their winter quar
ters.
The ewe's period of gestation is five
months, 150 to 153 days, and the ram
should be admitted to the ewes accord- !
ingly, as the lambing period is desired. \
Carefully guard the ewes from all i
rams until the coupling period arrives, i
A good, strong, healthy ram—no other ,
should at all be used —properly fed and ,
managed, is sufficient for tifty ewes. |
By "standing the ram"—that is, using I
a "teaser"—and drawing out the ewes
that are In season each day and allow
ing only one service to each ewe the
stock ram will serve a hundred within
thirty days just as well.
This stock ram standing service may
not pay for a lot of fifty cheap ewes,
but where the fifty are high grade and j
valuable or where there are a hundred J
or more cheap ewes or where two j
neighbors having tifty each may join I
together in buying a stock ram. It will
pay for the extra work. In so doing
one may spend the money required for
two rams in purchasing one that is
much more valuable to him. There is
no danger of securing the service of
a ram that is too good for any lot of
ewes. If he is to be turned with the
ewes, it will pay to paint his breast
with, say, Venetian red every morning
and in tlie evening draw out all the
ewes he has marked in serving and put
them in a pasture quite remote from
the unserved flock, where they will
not attract the ram's attention next
day. This careful separation of the
served from the unserved should be
observed whether the ram is "stood"
or turned out. However, care shouM
be taken that the served ewes after
twelve days from service have a
chance of second service and continu
ously so for from two to four weeks.
CliunKC of Food For the FIoeL.
There is nothing so desirable or use
ful for sheep as changes of food, if
only for a day or two. Like all other
weak nerved animals, sheep require
frequent stimulation. This may be af
forded by changes of food or pasture;
even a change of lodging is a comfort
to a sheep. Removal from one shed
to another, especially if the new place
has been nicely cleaned up. does a lot
of good.
Look After AIIIUR Sheep.
When the corners of the mouth or
nose are drawn up, giving to the sheep
an appearance of great misery, that
sheep Is In a bad way and should be
taken up without delay and duly cared
for, says American Sheep Breeder. Two
or three days may be sufficient to
make it hopeless. Generally a dose of
salts or oil, with the tonic mixture
after it, will make the sheep all right
again.
Sheep on the Farm.
Bean vines, which do not seem to
find favor with cattle, will be eaten
readily by sheep, and they will con
sume anything in the shape of proven
der that is tit for food, says Wool Mar
kets and Sheep. On the pasture they
are industrious in seeking as delica
cies young weeds and other growth
that would take possession of the tield
but for them, also making the land
more fertile with their droppings,
which are uniformly scattered and
trampled in. A dozen sheep on a farm
should cost the farmer almost nothing
for food.
Selection «»f Flock#.
If all the flocks were duly selected,
as a good breeder working for improve
ment would do, the average profitable
life of a breadwinning sheep would be
twelve or thirteen years, says Amer
ican Sheep Breeder. Doubtless the
reason why the Merinos are longer
lived than other breeds of sheep is
their inherited hardiness and the cus
tom of breeders to use only full tooth
ed ewes as breeders. The cause of the
rapid deterioration of sheep—other an
imals as well—which are permitted to
herd together and breed promiscuous
ly, Is the too early parentage thus per
initted. The rule for breeders should
be that only fully matured animals
should be used for propagation and
only force the time of breeding as the
maturity of the animals may be has
tened by the gradual slow change of
this habit by the best culture; other
wise the breeding of immature animr.l.s
will graduall) produce deterioration,
as an opposite course ha- ni.itie im
provement. The ob\ 'is i !•■. then,
should be to take out of th • ''k all
the young rams and lambs :iit<: herd
them by themselves, the ewe lit:-." »e
--tng herded separately. A promises.>
' mixture of all together is simply de
| struction of the flock.
Breed Mature Sheen.
Don't breed the lambs. This Is a
| bad mistake so frequently permitted
I or purposely made as to call for ear
nest remonstrance, says American Sheep
I Breeder. There Is no surer way to run
down a flock than this. If persisted
in, it will annually lessen the size of
the lambs, so that in a few years the
average of a flock of breeding ewes
may go down to sixty pounds. Good
iambs are the progeny only of mature
sheep. And if one is desirous of pre
paring some show animal- he should
breed four-year-old sheep on both
sides. A sheep is really In its prime
at five years naturally, this being an
average of two-thirds or half its use
ful possible life under good care.

HUMOR OF THE HOUR
l.ove'M Sacrifice.
"I shall have to give you up!" It was
In the year 1955, and as he spoke the
youthful scion of a ouce noble house
buried his fare lu his bauds and groan
ed aloud. "Yes," he said, "my darling, ,
much as I love you, 1 cannot subject |
you to all the privations that a uiar- ]
rlage in my present circumstances
would entail on my wife. Three weeks
ago I was rich and prosperous, the
head of a large syndicate that my fa
ther had bequeathed to me and on the j
most familiar and intimate terms with
the emperor. Nothing, it seemed, stood .
in the way of my continued success, i
Suddenly, however, another syndicate j
loomed above me, and I was quickly
overshadowed, and now, after having ;
been obliged to sell out. 1 find that all
my earthly possessions amount only to
the paltry sum of eight millions and a
half."
The girl at his side never wavered;
but, firm and resolute, her voice be
traying the great love and determina- |
tion that animated her in spite of this
terrible blow, she rushed to her dis
consolate lover and threw her arms
round his neclc.
