the work to Elk county mechanics

I'm our last issue we feloniously ard
with malice afOrethought purloined
{stole) an item from the Warren Mail
in reference to the fire at Kane. The
item in question contained the state
ment that c. Y, Gillis' building was
destroyed, which was not correct, and
hence our sorrow for the theft. Mr..
Gilis sustained some considerable
damage, but the building was saved.
-Diphtheria according to a Phila-
delphia physician is due to certain
fungi found in raw apples. AS true
explanation or cause of this disease
this will not be likely to be accepted,
Notwithstanding that whooping cough
has been traced to the eating ofne
apples and oranges. In France some
years ago several leading physicians
asserted this to be a scientific fact.
No one ought to eat raw apple with
out first wiping 1T, and what is still
better, pare it. So says the doctor
quoted above.
The bill that will probably pass
congress authorizing the appointment
of national board of health, to check
mate the yellow fever, the plague, and
the cholera, provides that the board
shall consist of seven members, to be
appointed by the President and ap-
proved by the Senate. Not mere than
one member is to be appointed from
any one state. The compensation of
each during the time when actually
employed in the performance of his
duties, is to be ten dollars day, and
reasonable expenses. The surgeon
general of the army and the surgeon
general of the navy are to be members
of the board, without additional pay.
1t is this board that will have control
of the national quarantine regulations.
