A local newspaper beats tho world as
an advertising medium, says an ex
ehnnpo. A hand bill attracts attention
by accident. The newspaper carries
your message to a waiting audience
Tho fence and barn door advertisement
is a corps that may be looked upon by a
few neighbor who have to go near it.
. Tho newspaper advertisement goes In
to the home, takes a seat In tho fumily
circle, and talks liht to the heurts of
many thousands of people who pay for
that kind of entertainment. They lovo
tho family paper and read it with conll
dence. Nothing equals good, livo,
locul paper when It comes to reaching
the people;
A few mornings sinco a young mini
visited a Reynoldsvillo business man's
dwelling begging for his breakfast
While the tramp was eating what was
givon him tho merchant went to his
stom. Not long afterwards tho afore'
said tramp stepped into this merchant"!
store ami bought a handful of cigarettes.
He begged for something to eat, but
had money to buy cigarettes. Many of
the chaps who go from door to door
bogging have money to buy whiskey
and cigars. It is well for tho tramps
that the gentler sex presides at the
back doors or they would not get so
many "hand outs."
A recent act of the Legislature makes
It a misdemeanor to damage school
property in any manner. Tho law
says that if any person shall willfully
and maliciously break or enter any
publlo school house, public school
building or any other bnilding used for
puhlio school purposes, or any out-house
used In connection therewith, or Bball
injure, domago or destroy any school
furniture, books, papers, maps, charts
or apparatus contained in any public
school house or othorbullding used and
occupied for public school purposes, ho
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and
upon conviction thereof shall bo son'
tonced to pay a fine not exceeding one
hundred dollars, or undergo an imprison
ment In tho couuty jail for a period not
exceeding six months, or both, at the
discretion of the court.
Last woek mention was mado In The
Stab that the postal clerks on tho A,
V. H'y trains wanted an ordor tssuod
compelling tho pooplo of Reynoldsvillo
to mall tholr letters In tho postotfioo
Instead of on the trains. There are
throe postal clerks to do the work on
this division of tho A. V. H'y, and they
work four days a week, same as tho
conductors and engineers on tho same
runs, but borne days tho postal clerk
who is entitled to a day off, has to como
out to help to do tho work and does not
get any extra pay for his labor. A
stated last week, the work Is too heavy
for one man and there should be two
men on trains No. I and 2 at loast, bo
twoen Falls Creek and Red Bank. We
don't blame the postal clerks for want
ing relief from some source, neither do
we believe the public should be denied
the privilege of mailing letters on
trains, and the only way to settle it sat
isfactorily is to put on more help, Uncle
Sam.
Beginning the first of this month the
A. V. R'y reduced the fare from Kit-
tanning to Pittsburg to three cents
mile. Why not give the people of
Reynoldsville the same rates. The
rate from here to Pittsburg is three
and one-half cents per mile. The
people of this section are as deserving
of a three cent rate as they are at any
other place along the line of the A. V,
R'y, and there should be no dlscrlml
nation lor the Klttannlng people. It is
all right and proper to make the reduc
tion, for three cents is the rate charged
by most all other roads, but we want
the people of Reynoldsville to have the
same rates. The fare to Pittsburg from
here Is now $4.30 and if the reduction
made It will be 13.60. The Klttannlng
l ime is not even satisfied with a three
cent-rate. It says, "This rate is still out
of reason." We believe the day is not
far distant when the three-cent-rate
will be given, but we think it should
have been given all along the line at
the same time It was granted to the
Farmers' Institute.

How to Look Good.
Good looks are really more than skin
deep, depending entirely on a healthy
condition of all tho vital organs. If the
liver bo inactive; you have a bilious
look: if your stomach bo disordered,
you have a dyspeptic look: If your kid
neys be affected, you have a pinched
look. Secure good health and you will
surely have good looks. "'Electric Bit-
tors" Is a good Alterative and Tonic,
Acts directly on tho liver and kidneys.
