Smallpox at the Hospital.

Last Thursday John Donahue, OF
Walston, went to the hospital with
what was presumed TO be an ordinary
case Of grip, the symptoms being head
ache, pains in the back and fever. AL
though there we're no other symptoms
the hospital physicians felt little sus-
picious about 1t and put the patient In
the quarters in the new part OF the
building which had been specially de.
signed for emergencies OF this charact-
er. On Monday Mr. Donahue develop
ed a genuine case Of smallpox. All the
necessary precautions have been taken,
and no danger is apprehended so far as
the other patients are concerned.
Mr.. Donahue is about "a years OF
age, and his parents reside In Reyn.
oldsville. He came to Walston about
three weeks ago, and Is said to have
been at Eleanora, where he probably
contracted the disease, previous tc
coming here.
The Punxsutawney Board Of Health
quarantined the Hospital yesterday and
asked the hospital authorities to sweal
out an order Of relief on the Commits
sioners Of jefferson county.-Punxsu

Dangerous Practice.

Jumping on sleighs by boys is not a
new practice by any means, but IL is
one that is fraught with grave dangers.
Frequently we hear Of youngster re-
ceiving injuries that have serious con-
sequences. Withal, the fact does not
seem to diminish the prevalency of the
practice one whit.
Since the pleasure which the boys de-
rive from stolen ride hides from their
eyes the danger coupled Herewith, IL
remains for the driver to take stringent
measures whenever he finds self-in-
vited passenger on his vehicle or when
he hears the plaintive, "Gimme ride"
Keep them off the runners and at a
respectful distance from the sleigh it's
the only way in which many distressing
accidents may be avoided. Drivers
may be certain of this fact, that in case
of an accident the public will condemn
them more severely than the vic
tins of the accident.-St. Marys Gazette.
This practice is very common in
Reynoldsville. Boys from four years
old up to eighteen years old are at IL
every day.

Window Glass Market.

The window glass market remains
steady and there is fair movement
from manufacturer to distributor. The
recent reduction in price on the small
size of glass and the advance in the
large size was done, it is said, to restr let
as much as possible the importation of
foreign glass, which has been coming
in heretofore quite freely. Glass job.
bers are well satisfied with their trade
so far this year and their recent heavy
purchases are going rapidly into con-
sumption. 1t is expected that another
large order for window glass will be
given the manufacturers in February,
and there are intimations that the
prices on which it will be based will be
some higher than those named on the

Gas Shortage Limiting Production.

The great scarcity Of natural gas
throughout the country is going to ma

started many of the factories have been
crippled on this account and during the
past week when the mercury was fooling
around the zero point, number OF
