last, responding to invitations sent out by
Miss Clara K. Landers, nearly a hundred
folks, young, middle aged, and elderly, spent
the evening pleasantly at her residence on
West Main.st. To the invitation In verse on
card Was attached sack In which gift to
the Y. l.. NJ. s., one penny for each year OF
the donors age, was asked to be placed.
From financial standpoint the result was
most gratifying and those who accompanied
their gift we're repaid by social features Of
the occasion. Vocal and instrumental music,
games, readings and Rotations with refresh.

attention of the merry throng. Miss Clara
is gratified at the pleasant things spoken Of
her Y. L. NJ 8. Social. This was the second
Social of the Society this season.

QUITE RIeHT.-There is petition In cir
culation asking the Commissioners of Thur.
mont to secure the passage OF a law author
izing tue issue of bonds in payment of the
debt resting upon the Town Hall. There
can be no two views in this matter; It should
certainly be done.
In the first place there can be low rate
interest bond sold, edecting saving in inter-
est which will largely account for the money
that must be set asidetor q sinking fund. In
the..second place, Town Hall, like other pub
lie improvements are not supposed to make
announcement demands upon the public funds
by any plan that pays the cost in too brief
time. BY this plan the Hall will become
much less of burden upon the Treasury in
q few years and the matter generally will be
in more business-like shape than 1t is with
a past due mortgage upon the building. We
trust that our people will speak in no uncer-
tain tones to our Board Of Commissioners
that they may not hesitate to carry the plan
into effect.

The other child was about one year old

The history of the case showed that the
child, after having been ridden in the bas-
ket attachment OF the bicycle for few
days. had manifested great restlessness at
night, those symptoms being accompanied
by fever. II was noted shortly afterwards
that the infant tossed and turned its head
in one direction, and that after two or
three days il seemed to lose interest in
what was going on To attract the child
attention Ii was necessary to tap it on the
hand or arm. A thorough examination re-
vealed the fact that the child had become
deaf in one ear from which ahiictiOn Ii
has not yet recovered. DR. Newton does
not attribute those Affections SO much TO
the motion of the wheel as to the lack of
support for the back of the infant.
"A support for the back of the child,

carriages, and no one would think OF
holding an infant in the arms or on the
knee without keeping a hand or arm on

how necessary was that support for the
child. You remember that the Indians
strapped their children to a board, and
they grew into fine, erect fellows"
do you, then" he was asked. "con-
slider it dangerous to take small children
and infants out on bicycles?"
Decidedly answered DR.. Newton
"No child should be taken out that way
until it is years old at least Then
its physical formation will have pro-
crossed to such an extent that it would
be tolerably safe to take il out. A
child that lives to be years of age
is very apt to live to maturity. The
weaker go to the wall before that time
as a rule. Most children pass through
the diseases incident to childhood prior
LAS I have seen them," the doctor
continued, the children are simply
dropped into baskets or some similar
contrivance which provides no support
for the back That is very serious
mistake and should be remedied at once
if people will persist in the foolish prac-
tice of taking their children out with
them on their wheels"
And the danger-does it lie altogether
in the lack of support?" was asked.
NO" answered the doctor, slowly.
The vibratory motion of the wheel
which leads to diseases Of the circulation,
so that at one time there is too much
blood and at another time not enough In
that region. As consequence, a chronic
congestion OF the spinal cord is soon pro-
duced. Associated with this is an imDli-
cation of the brain of the nature of menin-
gifts.
Children under years of age are par
ticularly and peculiarly susceptible to
brain trouble of this character, and
many a child with a faulty family record
behind it might escape if no untoward
accident or disturbances were encounter
ed. But once exposed to shock or injury
brain trouble develops, generally of an
incurable tpye.
This Irritation of the nervous system
produced by the unnatural agitation of
the child's body when in transet sets up
disturbances of the digestive functions,
being especially severe on the reducing
action of the stomach. In consequence
of that there is in a short time an ex-
cessive amount of acid in the stomach
Tactic acid in particular is found float
ing free in the blood.
1.-THE presence of this acid is destruc-
tive to the development and growth of
the skeleton and body of the child. This
condition, with which all physicians are
familiar. technically is known as ricketts,,
