tracks The system is now uniform

Under this change west bound trains take
on passengers at the local depot from the
platform, while passengers east bound must
cross the tracks to get on the trains. There
was some confusion at the depot this morn
ing on account of the unexpected change
but the public will become acquainted with
the reversed order of things in a day or
two,
-
All the east bound trains on the local di-
vision of the Lehigh Valley road are now
running on regular schedule time, the
tracks that were destroyed on the Mahanoy-
Delano branch by the bursting of the dam
having been repaired. The upper tracks
are not yet in condition and consequently
all passenger, freight and coal trains run
between this town and Delano via the
Mahanoy City route.

A well known resident of Mahanoy City
was in town to-day and, in conversation
relative to the food, said that he thought
the people who are speculating upon re-
covering heavy damages from the water
company that owns the dam that caused
the food will "slip up on it." He COM
pares the bursting of the Mahanoy City
dam with the Conemaugh disaster. "In
the Conemaugh case" said he, sit was
shown that the dam was not properly
built, but no one succeeded in recovering a
cent OF damages from the owners Sup
pose the other dam was not properly con-
structed, what better claim have the Nah
anoy City people to damages than the
Conemaugh people had ? Another thing
the people who are complaining and cry
ing out for damages are not the real suf-

they have against the water company"

Speaking about home investors reminds
me of the expressions of a town gentleman
Saturday night. He said: "This brewery
boom makes me sick. Why if the estab-
lishment of such thing is dependent upon
the establishment Of public water works we
have plenty time to consider over the mat
ter before we enthuse, The contracts for
water works have not been advertised tor
and year must certainly elapse between
the commencement and completion of the
works, hence the brewers who are now sup
plying the town will have ample oppor-
tunity to arrange price for the beverage
that will cause the brewery boomers to put
on their thinking caps. believe in home
industries and am prepared to give them all
encouragement, but they must have a bona
tide appearance. If these brewery people
were sincere they could have put the pro-
iect on foot years ago, before the Mahanoy
City people thought Of having a brew

The State Board Of Health issues a
timely circular on precautions against
cholera infantum. The circular states con-
tinued high temperature, sht and day,
appears to be the essential cause of the
disease, II is important, therefore, first:
To keep the child cool, and, secondly, to
keep its food (milk) cool. To accomplish
the first object, allow the baby to drink
freely Of cool (not excessively cold) water;
bathe it frequently in cool or lukewarm
water, two or three times day if the
thermometer is above 9Oo keep it in the
open air in the shade take it into the
country or out on the water as often as
possible. Let it wear very thin under
shirt, or if not this, flannel belly-band.
To accomplish the second get pure milk,
keep as little on hand as possible-and
keep 1t on ice if possible, As soon as you
get it, boil it for few minutes and then
add tablespoonful of lime water to every
pint. If the child is seized suddenly with
diarThoes stop its milk at once, and feed it
on raw white of egg, gelatine, barley water.
and meat or chicken BROTH and do not give it
milk again until the diarrhoea has stopped.
