Frenuent Disinfectinn.

\ bill introduced in the Legislature
last Monday, providing for the per
iodical disinfcction of school houses
should be passed without loss of time.
In some places health boards disinfect
the schools whenever in their opinion
this becomes necessary. but il would
be better to do this more frequently.
1t is known that contagious diseases
are Oftenest communicated in school
houses. There is no known method of
preventing the spread of disease equal
to free and frequent disinfection \
germicide is as necessary and should
be used as faithfully as soap and wat
er. Let the disinfectant be what it
may so long as it proves efiicacious /;
there need be no private interest ad-
vanced by the passage Of the bill
Periodical disinfection should be
made obligatory; not merely recon-
mended. As a preventive agency it
should be employed even in private
residences at regular intervals. This
probably could not be compelled by
legislation, but the adyiSabilitv of it
should force itself upon every house
holders mind. Pass the disinfection
bill and make it operative quickly.

A CONVENIENCE
TO THE PUBLIC

Postmaster G. p. Harder has COM
piled q directory of the patrons of
the rural free delivery from the Dan
Vile Post office which will prove of
great convenience to the public. The
directory contains the names of all the
patrons of the four rural free delivery
routes arranged in alphabetical order
with number opposite indicating the
route on which they live. Following
the heads Of tho families it gives all
the sons and daughters of the house
hold who have arrived at an age when
they are likely to receive mail. 1t
naturally contains large number of
names and fills want not supplied by
the county directory. Neatly type
written it occupies prominent place
in the corridor of the post Office free
to the public. When one wishes to
correspond with a resident of the
county all he has to do is refer TO the
directory where he is sure to find the
name he wants along with the route
by which the person is served. With
out this directory an endless amount
of inquiry might have to be resorted
TO which would prove annoying to the
post office clerks and inconvcnient and
embarrassing to the person seeking
the information.
The idea of the directory is original
with Post Master Harder and so far as
known no other post Office is equipped
with anything similar.
According to the directory there are
eight hundred and ninety nine patrons
on the four rural free delivery routes.

one minute, because it kills the microbe

A CANNING Factnrv.

Among the new Industries that are
likely to be established in Danville
sooner or later i a canning factory.
y project Of this sort is being talked
up at present by men who are likely
to push it through and it would not be
at all surprising if by next year this
time canned goods would be on the
market that were grown in Montour
county and canned in Danville.
1t would be difficult to find a local
ity better adapted to the growing of
vegetables than this section Of the
state. The yield of tomatoes. corn
beans, cabbage and the like j. often
superabundant one, which completely
gluts the local market The variety
and abundance of garden truck which
in season finds its way to Danville Is
the source of much wonder to strang-
ers who visit the town.
y canning factory would not only
use up the surplus truck of the present
acreage, but would encourage the
growing Of vegetables on a much larg-
er scale, insuring a steady demand and
reasonable prices The farmer who
finds the growing OF wheat unprofita-
bic would have an opportunity to ex-
pertinent with lighter crops under
circumstances which would promise
good return.
The canning factory in view il not
a plant conducted on the cooperative
plan, as is usual with propositions OF
this sort. On the contrary it would
be owned and operated by corpora
tion, which would purchase the veget-
ables from the farmer, who would be
given no share in the profits nor ask
ed to assume any of the risks.

cure biliousness, jaundice, constipation
and inactive livers, by arousing the
secretions, moving the bowels gently,
yet effectually, and giving such tone

of the trouble is removed entirely.
These famous little pills exert decided
tonic effect upon the organs involved,
