11 BREAK-UP
SEEMS llllll!
The rain yesterday precipitated con
ditions bordering ou a breakup. ru
les* colder weathei follows immediate
ly there is great danger that the ice
may leave the river during the next
twenty-four hour'.
Doe to the filling rain and the
melting snow wit- i has accumulated
very rapidly. The smaller streams
wore affected dnnng the afternoon
yesterday, and by last evening the ice
on the rivt i was beginning to rise in
a body under the swelling current.
Should the samo weather conditions
prevail today, the water will continue
to rise with the result that the ice.
weakened by the soveral days' moder
ate weather, will be unable to resist
the pressure and will move off. It is
rather early for a breakup, but un
doubtedly one is imminent.
The rain of last week did not affect
the water sources, which iniplie- that
it did not sink into the ground to any
extent.
Residents in the vicinity of River
side heights are snfferiug all the iu
oonveniences of a drought. A gentle
man from East Danville yesterday
stated that the same conditions pre
vail there. As a rule tho wells are dry,
as many as teu families procuring
water at one well, which happens to
be in the never-failing class. Whether
the present rain may affect the water
sources or not remains to be seen.
Conditions could not well have beeu
more disagreeable than they weie yes
terday. The leaden sky, the falling
rain aud tho soggy streets and side
walks all conspired to depress the feel
lugs and make one long for almost
any change, whether deep snow or a
return of zero weather with all that
is implied by either.
Last evening the weather forecast
predicted cooler weather today.
A Simple Safeguard For Mother*.
Mrs. D. (Jilkoson, 320 Ingles Ave.,
Yonngstown, Ohio, gaiueil wisdom by
experience. "My little girl '.had a se
vere cold aud coughed almost contin
uously. My sister recommended Fol
ey's Honey and Tar. The first dose I
gave her relieved the inflammation in
her throat and aftei using only one
bottle her throat and "lungs were en
tirely free from inflammation. Since
then I always keep a bottle of Foley's
Honey and Tar in the liou.se. Accept

What tho Boys Thought.
A prominent educator, talking to a
class in an elementary school he had
visited, decided to illustrate a point he
was making by a problem in long divi
sion, Ihe intricacies of which the class
hail just mastered. 110 put down the
uecessary figures and then said:
"Now. let us see how many times'
this number will go into the other. Let;
us try six." Me tried six. and, as he
intended, six wouldn't do. "Well, let's
try five, then," he said. Five was all
right, anil he went ahead with Ills talk.
On his way home that evening he
overtook two small boys with book
bags under their arms and heard this
conversation:
"Say, Bill, did a long whiskered,
baldlieadcd old feller come Into your
•n today?"
"Yep," replied Bill.
"Anil did he talk to you?"
"Yep," said Bill.
"Well, so he did to us, but the fuu
nlest tiling, by golly, was that the old
chump stumped himself ou an example
lu long division."—Philadelphia Times.
Most Beautiful Water In World.
Little restaurants are scattered aloug
the cliff overlooking the bay of Capri,
■■nd here by the water's edge you can
Kit and sip and gaze at Vesuvius away
or iu the distance or perhaps at the
water in the bay below.
The most beautiful water in the
world! The blue water of the grotto
Is more mystical, perhaps, but the wa
ter of the bay of Capri is more ex
quisite. It is a wonderful pale green,
with a greener, darker color streaked
through it. There is no other water
like tt in all the world.
And here in the little restaurant you
elt and sit, gazing nt tho water below,
although you know iti your heart you
ought to be seeing the rest of the
place. But the water is so green and
beaiitlful that when the warning whis
tle of tho Naples steamer blows you
awake with n start aud realize you
have seen nothing of Capri at all
nothing but the emerald water, so en
ticing and beautiful.—Mary Sutley In

Take Care I
Remember that when your kidneys
are affected, your life is in danger.
M. Mayer, Rochester, N. Y. says: "My
trouble started with a sharp shooting
pain over my back which grew worse
daily. l felt sluggish and tired, my
kidneys action was irregulai and in
frequent. 1 started using Foley Kid
uey Pills. Each dose seemed to put
new life and strength into me, and
now 1 am coiupletey cured and feel
better and stronger than for years."

There Was No Applause.
Just before the operation began the
operating surgeon said to the students.
"Now. gentlemen, no applause, if you
please."
When he was couvalcs.-iiig the pa
tient declared lliat that warning re
mained his most vivid impression of
the ordeal.
"1 wondered then how any human
being could have the heart to applaud
an act that had brought another face
to face with death, hut later 1 under
stood. On account of heart trouble
they did not dare administer an anaes
thetic, so 1 was coilseious of every
thing, and in spite of the pain I re
alized that the surgeon was doing a
mighty skillful piece of work. No
wonder the students wanted to ap
plaud. They were Justified iu it.

THH ONLY WAY
Many Danville Citizen* Have Discovered
It.
Just what to do when the kidueys
i are affected,is a question that concerns
! both young and old. Weak kidneys
neglected in childhood lead to life
long suffering. People of advanced
years, with less vitality, suffer doub
ly. In youth or age, languor, hack
ache. urinary irregularity, dizziness
and nervousness make life a burden.
1 There is one remedy that acts di- i
rectly on the kidneys and cures these
troubles. Doan's Kidnev Pills owe
j their worldwide fame to the fact that
they cure sick kidneys and cure them
i permanently. Follow the example ot
; this Danville citizen anil you will be
convinced that this is so.
Mrs. Leo. Metzger. ".'til W. Mahon
ling Street, Danville. Pa., says:"l
I used Doan's Kidney Pills about three
year ago when suffering from back
ache and other symptoms of kidney
trouble A few doses of this remedy
relieved me and 1 was thus induoed
to continue its use until cured. Doan's
Kidney Pills have my hearty endorse
ment. "
