Duly Impressed.

Ihls theory of governing children by
appealing to their reason isn't all it's
made out to be- said a public school
teacher recently. Il teach in a pri-
mary class, and it's my conviction that
a youngster actually needs a good
spanking once in awhile for his health.
1t does cheer up a child as nothing else
will. Here is an instance:
"One of my boys had skipped his
classes, deceived his mother, been
found out and caused much unhappi-
ness all around. took him aside. and
we had a heart to heart talk. johnny
sat still, looking at me intently and
seeming to be deeply impressed. I
thought | was making great headway
and that my little sermon was surely
penetrating Johnny's brain. / never
saw child who seemed SO absorbed
even fascinated, by my line of argu-
ment
but you never can tell. Just AS 7
mad reached the climax in my appeal to
his better self a light of discovery
broke over Johnny.

Forget About Your Stomach.

If your digestion is bad the vital organs
of your body are not fed and nourished as
they should be. They grow weak and invite
disease. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure digests what
you eat cures indigestion and all stomach
troubles. You forget you have stomach
from the very day you begin taking it. This
is because it gests rest-recuperates and
gradually grows SO strong and healthy that
it troubles you no more. e. L. Babcock,

silver thaw' is name applied to
winter phenomenon of frequent occur

sists OF rain falling when the air is be-
low freezing point and congealing
whenever it reaches the ground. Of
course this points to an inversion of the
temperature, which is lower on the
mountain top than at greater heights,
and, being largely associated with a cy-
clonlc distribution of pressure, it is of
considerable "forecasting'' value.

The Germ Hunters.

When every germ has been corraled
And rendered harmless quite;
When every microbes teeth are pulled
So we won't fear it's bite;
When bacilli and vicious cells
And atoms bent on crime
Are made, through science, tame and
meek
AS they will be in time,
What will we die of? Goodness knows
Unless, to swell the list,
We perish, searching to the last
For germs that don't exist!

COUNCIL MEETING.

A meeting of the Town Council
was held on Saturday evening to
discuss the matter ofthe Fifth street
sewer. There has been no differ
ence of opinion among the members
as to the necessity for the sewer,
the only trouble being the financial
end of it, the towns bonded debt
being now up to the limit. Solicitor
Herring read an opinion to the
effect that an ordinance relating to
hawking and peddling would be in
valid, in AS much as an act o. as
sembly prohibits it and fixes pen
atty of $50 for violation. He also
submitted resolution regulating
the issue Of new bonds to replace
those now due.
After lengthy discussion on the
sewer question it was finally decid-
ed to eliminate all question in re-
gard to the alleged claim of the
Land Improvement Co., and make
them plain proposition as to what
they must do towards the sewer.
Mr.. Yetter vacated the chair and
offered the following resolution
which contained several preambles:
Therefore be it resolved, that
should the Land Improvement Com
pany, and those urgently request
ing The building Of the sewer con-
tribute the sum of $500, and make
report of same to Council at its next
meeting, August 9TH, 1905, Council
will feel disposed to act favorably
in the matter. And unless the offer
is accepted and money arranged for
as above by said meeting, Council
will not further consider the build
ing of the sewer this year." Mr..
Giger moved and Deily seconded
the motion that the resolution be
adopted. Mr.. Rhoades called for
the yeas and nays. Roll being call
ed Council voted as follows: Deily,
Mifflin, Giger, Runyan and Yetter,
yea; Rhoades, no, President de-
clared the resolution carried.
There was soAe discussion about
the condition of the canal, and a
motion was adopted to request a
meeting of the proper official and
the Council to take some action i'll
the matter. The committee fixing
the lines of the town for taxation
purposes was adopted, and an appeal
day fixed for August 18th. After a
scrap over FIRE hose the Council ad-
journed, no final action being taken
as to the hose.

Flremen' S Picnic.

One of the most successful eX-
cursions ever conducted on the B.
& S. railroad was that of last Sat-
urday. when the Firemen had their
aLnual picnic. Some 100 people
took advantage of it to have a
pleasant outing, and they were not
disappointed. Two games of base
ball were played between the A. A,
of Bloomsbury and Grassmere
teams, the former winning both
games by the scores of II-8 and 9
o respectively.
In the morning game crowd Of
spectators disapproved Of the UNI
pire's decisions, and a free-for-all
fight ensued, in which the carnage
was fearful. 1t is due to members
of both teams to state that they
were not among those present in
the melee. During the game Rhoda-
moyer of town, sustained a broken
nose by being hit with pitched
ball.
The Bloomsbury band furnished
music throughout the day. The
excursion was success both soci.
ally and financially and the firemen
will net considerable amount.

POTATOES WILL
BE SCARCE.
Farmers Discover That Blight
Has Fallen on the Crop.
SAYS DANVll.LE PAPER.

Farmers predict that potatoes
will bring dollar per bushel by
fall. 1t is already apparent that
the crop will be failure. Add to
this the fact that only limited
acreage was planted and we have
the conditions that contribute to
scarcity aud consequent high price,
says the Danville Morning MeaOS.
Potatoes were a glut on the mar
ket last year. AS spring came on
the farmers found that they still
had large proportion of last years
crop on hand, which they were OBJ
liged to sell at prices lower than for
years past. Under the circum.
stances it was not strange that in
order to avoid surplus the farm
ers were unit in planting smaller
acreage.
This might have been all right if
nothing had happened and the
potatoes had thrived as during re-
cent years. 1t appears, however,
from reports received from various
quarters that a blight has fallen
upon the potato crop and the yield
may be scarcely half one.
In Montour county the crop looks
especially bad. In many fields the
potato vines are dying or are al
ready dead. The most experienced
farmers are puzzled to find a cause
for the blight. Potatoes grew nice
ly until week or so ago when they
suddenly turned black and began
to droop and die. OF course at that
point all growth and development
of the tubers stopped. Many of the
hills are found without any saleable
potatoes at all, while nowhere in
the fields are they large in size or
numerous.

A SOLID SILVER ALTAR.

A few days ago there appeared in
one of the Philadelphia papers a
notice saying that there is now
being made in Europe for one of
the protestant churches, an altar
for the lady-chapel, which is to be
of solid silver, and to cost 500, 900.
1t has long been, and is now the
custom to erect costly temples to
the worship of Almighty God, and
no one ever questions the propriety
of so doing. But it appears to the
mind of the layman that an expendi-
ture of so large a sum for the altar
of side chapel is good deal of
money for such purpose. 1t is
purely for ornamentation, and in
these days when hospitals and many
other charitable institutions are
sadly in need of funds it would
seem almost like a sinful waste of
money to build solid silver affairs,
While such things may crafty the
vanity of the donors, we doubt if
they help to advance the cause Of
religion.
Sixty thousand dollars would
build and equip a handsome church
property. If invested it would
yield an annual income OF three
thousand dollars as an endowment
fund. It would do much good in
many ways.
If it be true that the wealthy
class is increasing in number, SO it
is true that the poorer classes are
increasing ten fold, aye, hundred
fold faster. There never was so
much suffering on the East Side in
New York city as there is to-day.
Something done toward the amel-
ioration of these classes by extend
ing the means of christianizing or
perhaps civilizing them, would be
gift far more acceptable to the Lord
than the erection of a solid silver
altar in a lady.chapel.

LITTLE PURE LIQUOR
TO BE OBTAINED.
Evidence Shows Adulteration is
Increasing Since Court DeCi-
sion Exempting 1t as Food
SAYS PROF. LA WALL.

Additional evidence is being
gathered by Food Commissioner
Warren to show that adulterations
of beer, wine and spirits are in
creasing since the Supreme Courts
decision that Intoxicating liquors
may not be classed as food and
therefore do not come within the
provisions of the pure food laws.
In letter on the subject to Doc
tor Warren, Charles H. laval,
expert analytical chemist, enclosed
reports upon several samples of wine
examined by him last week in an
effort to find pure wine for a sick
person. He declares that but one
sample was obtained which was abb
solutely pure, the others all con-
tanning benzoic acid.
The fact that both imported and
domestic products were examined
and found to be wanting i'll purity
says Professor LAVAL, indicates
the necessity OF energetic action in
the direction of securing legislation
prohibiting the adulteration OF in
toxicating liquors. He asserts that
the use of benzoic acid in wines is
indefensible, as t h e alcoholic
strength is sufficiently high to pre-
serve the article.
Pending the enactment of law
which he hopes to obtain at the next
session of the Legislature, Doctor
Warren has issued public appeal
for cooperation in campaign
against the manufacture and sale Of
adulterated liquors. The Commits
sioner's stand in the matter has
receive the hearty Endorsement of
the Pennsylvania Wholesale Liquor
Dealers League, which declares
"that every honest, upright dis
tiller in the business is interested in
the enactment and enforcement of a
law which will prevent the inter
mixing of anything poisonous with
the pure products Of liquor distilled
in this State"
Upon the return of Doctor War
rem from Portland, Ore, where he
has been attending the convention
of the State Food Departments
Association, it is expected that
wholesale arrests will be made OF
dealers in adulterated soda waters
and syrups. Analyses Of 500 sam,
pies of such beverages have been
made by the Departments chem
lists this month, with the result that
more than 800 samples were found
to contain poisonous coal tar dyes
USED as coloring or saccharine fol
sweetening.

CAPITAL AND SURPLUS $4,000,
WHY ENLARGE THE COURT HOUsE7
To THE COLUMBIAN

notice in Saturdays issue Of
the Bloomsbury Daily an article
signed Pro Bono Publico," in
which the writer urges that the
court house be enlarged. l do not
find anywhere in it any adequate
reason why any Of the public money
should be expended at this time for
such a purpose. There is not an
office in the court house that is not
entirely ample for all purposes.
There is not vault where books
and records are kept that was not
enlarged and supplied with modern
book racks and file drawers only a
few years ago. If they are getting
crowded there is room for more
racks and drawers. The main
court room is big enough for the
transaction of all public business,
and court room No. is seldom if
ever used, and never would be
needed if the people would return
to the old-time custom of going out
side of the district for their Judges,
as they did when they got Judge
Elwell, and thus secure a Judge
who can try all cases that come
into court. AS it is, the room has
not been used a dozen times in
fifteen years.
In some respects the court house
is already too large to get proper
attention. There is Law Library
room, containing many hundreds
of dollars worth of law books pur-
chased out of the fines paid in
criminal cases, under special law
as l am informed. which gives
these fines for that purpose. This
room is seldom swept, the books
are not busted, and frequently are
left lying around Oh tables or chairs
The law library is not receiving
proper care.
The light fixtures in the build
ing are some cf them in bad condi-
ton. At the front entrance is a
hall lamp of neat pattern that cost
number of dollars. The glass is
broken and the FURNISHED brass is
so black from fly specks and dust
that one can scarcely tell that it Is
brass. In the big court room we
have heard that it has sometimes
been necessary to brush the cob
webs off the globes to light the gas
fixtures. Don't enlarge the court
house. II those whose duty it is
to take care of it now, do not do it
they certainly couldn't be expected
to do SO if there was more of it.
Another reason why it ought not
to he enlarged is that the County
already has an enormous debt, the
bonded Indebtedness being ovel
$3.50, 900. The Court house is big
enough and good enough for many
years to come and needs no money
spent on it except what is neces
sary to keep it in good repair.
