1t is the desire of the Red Cross So
ciety that everybody that feel that they
can will use the Christmas stamps on all
their envelopes during at least two weeks
In December. They particularly desire
manufacturing concerns and merchants
should grant this request. These stamps
are now on sale at Bovard's Pharmacy
aud Dunn & Fulton's Pharmacy. The
proceeds from the sale will be used 10
fight tuberculosis in this district.
In summing up the value of sdver-
tising, John WaDamaker, one of the larg-
est and most persistent advertisers in the
country, is quoted as saying: "Advertis.
ing does not jirk IL pulls. 1t begins very
gently at first, but the pull is steady. 1t
increases day by day and year by year
until 1t exerts an irresistible power" Mr..
Wanamaker ought to be competent au-
thority as he spends a princely fortune
every year in newspaper advertising.

The bazaar at Bovard's hall last Fri
day evening, given under tbs auspices of
the Ladies Aid Society of the Presbyter-
ian church, was doubtless the most sue
cessful affair of the kind ever held in
Tionesta, and was patronized by fully a
hundred people or more. No less than
eight booths we're in operation and were
kept busy in disposing ofthe great variety
of goods that we're put on sale. Not a
single article was left on hand, and con-
sidering the amount of labor and expense
devoted to each, there was a bargain in
every article for the eager purchaser.
The serving OF oysters constituted feat
ure of the evening that was we'll patron
lied and much enjoyed. The amount
netted for the church furnishing fund was
very close to the 5000 mark, so the ladies
feel that they were we'll rewarded for the
great amount of labor expended in the
preparation and carrying out of the sue
cesslul affair.
-"Fish Commissioner William E.
Meehan has been asked to make an in
spection of the Clarion river on one of the
most original complaints ever filed in his
office. 1t is to the effect that the stream
is so polluted by acids and refuse from
manufacturing plants that no living
thing can remain in its waters and the
commissioner says that he has been in
formed that cows wading in the stream
lose the hair from their legs, while the
ducks long since quit tho water because
the acids ate off their feathers and crippled
their legs" says the Harrisburg Tele
graph. Mr. Meehan says that the river
is the most polluted in the state and that
the business men of the towns along its
banks are writing for state aid for better
conditions. The commissioner will con-
fer with members of the legislature at
Pittsburg in regard to ways and means
to improve stream conditions within
Allegheny county. He has a rompre'
hensive scheme for the publication of the
stream and will ask for aid in the next
session.
