MORBIDITY
STATISTICS

The new law pertaining to Morbid.
ity Statistics went into effect ON Nov
ember LIST. Under its working the
office of DR.. @. Shultz, Secretary of
the local Board of Health, becomes the
repository OF vast array of classified
facts respecting the health of the com.
munity. The Secretary's report for the
last period shows two cases of erysi-
pelas. four cases of diphtheria. nine
cases of typhoid fever, one case of
chicken pox, one case of pneumonia.
The law provides that as soon as a
case regarded as communicable breaks
out the attending physician must at
once report to the Secretary of the
local Board of Health, setting forth
along with the nature of the disease
the name of the patient. occupation,
country nativity. age, sex, color, ad-
dress. county, date of onset. name of
householder. occupation of ousehold-
er, number Of school children and
school. To facilitate the transmission
of this informatisn blank postal cards
furnished by the municipality are pro.
vided, so that all the busy physician
has to do is to fill in the data reuuir.
ed and mail the card. At the expira.
tion of every seven days the Secretary
OF the Board of Health in turn makes
his report to the State Department of
Health, also using specially prepared
blanks, which greatly facilitate the
work.
The list of diseases considered com.
municable to be reported is a very
large one. The more familiar diseases
ON the list are cerebro-spinal menin.
gifts, chicken pox. CHI olera, diphtheria,
dysentery. erysipelas. German meas
les, CHAMBERS, hydrophobis, malarial
fever. measles. mumps, pneumonia,
scarlet fever. small pox. tetanus, tub
eroulosis. typhoid fever, typhus fever
and whoopin2 cough.
One of the objects accomplished by
the new law as the result of the very
full information sent in, will be to en-.
able the State Department of Health
not only to locate every epidemic but
to trace the disease to its origin and
to note its spread and development.
The regular reports sent in to the
State Department, too. when printed
in the newspapers as they ought to be.
will serve to keep the people posted
on the state of the public health and
quiet many exaggerated and alarming
rumors as to the prevalence of dis

TEACHERS ARE
NOT HAMPERED

State Health Commissioner Dixon
was asked what effect the opinion of
Attorney General Carson, that parents
cannot be fined under the cumpuls lsory
attendance law in cases where the
children had been debarred from school
for not being successfully vaccinated,
would have upon the efforts the Health
Department are making to have the
vaccination law enforced throughout
the schools of the State.
81 do not see," the Commissioner +
replied, that it should have any effect
whatever, as the Attorney General
does not in any way question the duty
of the teachers to obey the law of the
Commonwealth and that is all we
have ever asked them to do.
"That brings up point that l wou Id
like to make plain. The teachers in
charge of schools in Pennsylvania are
not required to refuse admission to
children until they are vacoinated, be-
cause the Department of Health has
so ordained. 1t Is the law of the Com
monwealth. a law passed for the Fro.
lection of the public health. The
health of She people has been entrust.
ed to this Department. l propose to see
to it that the Health law is carried
out.
'In this de termination | have the
cooperation of hundreds of local
boards of health throughout the State,
school directors and the teachers
themselves. Of course, there has been
opposition. This was to be expected.
In some cases school directors them
selves have opposed the enforcement t
of the law and have gone so far as to
instruct their teachers to admit chill.
dren regardless of whether they had
been vaccinated. In despair the teach.
ers have written to this department..
fully appreciate the difficult position
that this places the teacher in. Par.
ents and school directors combine to
influence such teacher to become a
lawbreaker. The only answer could
give has been to quote the law" &"

Girls Not Anxious to Marry

That Stroudsburg girls are having
too good time to think of marrying
is given out as reason why the thirty.
odd young men, members of the Ush-
srs' association of Methodist church
there are still siuRle. Monday even.
ing was the time set by the Rev. DR..
Bennett, pastor OF the church, to marry
the young men free of charge, but no
application was made.
DR.. Benefits church is full OF mar
riageable men, and he wants to see
them mated, believing that 1t will in
crease their interest in the church.
The men appear willing. but, as one
put it. "the girls appear to be in no
hurry to become hitched to serious
church members"

RIAL SERVICE

Mr.. Harmon's address was a fine
tribute to the Benevolent and Protec-
tive Order of Elks. and was expressed
most beautifully. He said in part
1--WE have met upon an occasion and
under circumstances at once beautiful
in conception, and rich in meaning
and sentiment in the execution. The
honoring of the dead the marking of
their resting place: the paying of tri-
butte to their memory. and the per-
petuation thereof, is custom bound
ed by no territorial limitations, limit
ed to no race or color or creed. 1t
matters not what form the expression
of this sentiment may take, the sub.
stance-the thought, remains the same.
All civilization-all peoples-instinc-
lively shrink from the idea OF eternal
oblivion, and in thus keeping green
the memory of those who have gone
before we express the most beautiful
sentiment of the human heart, and per.
haps unconsoiously reveal the hope
within us. that no matter what may
have been our station in life-wheth-
er we may have risen from the ranks
or not-whether we have played q
great part in the drama of life or our
endeavor limited to an hum BILE envir-
onment- that our resting place shall
not 60 unmarked, and that our men,
ory shall not, at least by some, be
forgotten. Bowling then 10 this senti-
ment. and prompted by motives that
go unquestioned, the members of our
order have come today to give full ex.
preston to this thought.

HYDRANT WATER
TO BE aNALYZED

Dr. O. Shults, Secretary of the local
Board Of Health. is preparing to send
a sample OF our river water to the
Philadelphia Laboratory for analysis.
The low stage of the river during a
month or SO past together with the
pollution OF the stream by Asylum
sewage and the prevalence of typhoid
fever at Berwick aud other points
above us has had the effect Of making
many people solioitous as to the pur-
ity Of our water supply. The Board
OF Health has confidence in the gener-
ally efficacy of our filter plant and re-
gardless of the condition of the river
have doubts whether bacteria or i'm.
purity in any form will be found in
our hydrant water. To quiet all fears,
however, they have decided to test the
matter and will procure au analysis
as above related.
There was a nine foot food on the
river yesterday and the water was still
rising. Naturally. the immense vol.
ume of swiftly flowing water is rela-
lively free from sewage or any trace
Of pollution from infected towns and
the river at present one would think
would be the last place to look for
bacteria whatever its condition may
be in other respects.
DR.. Shultz yesterday stated that he
would take the water to be analyz zed
from the reservoir at the filter pant,
where in his opinion conditions are
about the same as existed before the
rise in the river. 1t will be some days
before a report as to the purity of the
water will BIZ received. Meanwhile
with the river at its present stage the
public will rest with feeling of com.
parative security, although where boil.
ing the water has been practiced it
would not be inadvisable to continue

FOR JUVENILE EYES.

Wien the merchant robs the trea.
sure house of its wonderful jungle an.
imals, its marvellous mechanical toys. its
miniature toys, its miniature men and
women that walk and talk, and places
them ON display behind big plate glass
windows, he has opened the portals of
Wonderland to the little men and wo.
men whose nightly visions are filled
with galloping reindeers drawing a
sled containing portly old gentleman
with a toy filed sack OH his back. He
has taken Young America by the hand
and led him into the vestibue of the
house of mysteries, where all the TOYS
that delight the childish heart are
kept in heaping piles.
There are countless boys and girls
in this town whose little hearts will
yearn to possess just one of these toys.
whose only yuletide happiness will be
to go with father or mother on Satur.
day night or Sunday afternoon for a
walk through the shopping district,
with its big buildings that make timid
little souls afraid. And these smudgy
youngsters will fatten their noses
against the window panes and with
hungry eyes devour the bewilderinQ
array OF toys arranged in symmetrical
profusion before them. All the long.
ing of their ardent natures will surge
through their little bodies, but the
joys of being aLls to behold these
wonderful things will linger in their
memories and make brighter the
gloomy days that travel in upbrok,
succession for them.
Every merchant should endeayor to
make the best possible window display
of his wares, not merely from the
sordid standpoint of commercialism,
but with the laudable desire to please
the fancy of the beholder and give to
the littls ones at least a glimpse of the
many wonderful things that the gep.
ius of the arti6cer has wrought for
the amusemt mt and delight of the lit.
tie men and women of today.
No merchant should cover his dis
play windows on Sunday with cur.
tains. Many poor children will have
no opportunity to view the toys on
display. 1t isn't much of boon to
confer, but such as it is should be
given willingly, freely, in the thought
and belief that it may bring a momen-
tary happiness to some poor little soul
that is starving for the pleasures of
for the joys and toys of
Iouth-that looks, longs. and hopes,
but always and ever holds out an
empty hand.

BRIDGE APPROACH
ON SOUTH side

The case against the Commissioners
of Northumberland county for main
tanning a nuisance in connection with
the approach to the bridge on the
South Side has been settled and peace
oEce more reigns between the Super.
visors of Gearhart township and the
Board of County Commissioners. The
temporary approach is to do service
until January 1st, when the new boar d
assu mes control.
The approach at the South Side has
been the sou urce of much contention
ever since the completion of the bridge.
The approach was declared a county
Improvement by Judge Savage, but the
Commissioners refused to enter upon
the work aud the roadway at that end
OF the bridge lay in an unfinishe d
state all summer and autumn.
On September 27th the County Com.
missioners-M Messrs. John Beck, George
W. RaudeubusII and Allen ". Cooner
who refused to carry out the Judges s
order. were returned to Court by Con.
stable Bruce MoOracken, who request.
ed that they be indicted and tried on
the charge of maintaining a nuisance
at South Danville, of negligence and
of failure to do their duty. On the
strength of this return Judge Auten
directed the District Attorney to pre-.
sent bill to the Grand Jury.
On September 2sth the County Com
missioners appealed the order of Judge
SavidRe making the bridge approach a
county improvement and touk the mat.
ter to the Supreme Court. On Septem-
ber a9th true bill was returned by
the Grand Jury. The September term
OF court, however, adjourned on that
day aud the case was carried over to
December court, when it was under.
stood it would come up for trial, un.
less in the interim the County Com.
missl oners proceeded to build the ap-
proaoh.
couple of weeks ago the Commits
sioners fixed up the approach temper.
arily, expending probably one hundred
dollars on the work. Retaining walls
we're not built and no one could claim
that tile improvement was anything
like what was implied by the Court g
order.
Accordingly when December court
convened in Northumberland county,
Monday, Messrs. Baylor and Rioharts.
Supervisors OF Gearhart township, &C.
companied by eight witnesses went
down to Sudbury prepared to push the
prosecution As above stated, how
ever. the case did not come to trial.
The County Commissioners made a
proposition looking to settlement and
had long talk with the Court. The
pending appeal OF Judge Savidge's or
der probably helped to influence mat.
ters little; at all events settlement
was agreed upon. The Supervisors
were determined to obtain the best
terms possible for the township and
wonld agree to nothing less than that
the County Commissioners should pay
for the work done on the approach and
all the costs of the case. These terms
were reluctantly aooeded to, which
makes Gearhart township victor at
he present stage of the game.
Judge Savidge stated that when the
County Commissioners enter upon
office in January, lie will accompany
them to South Danville to look care.
fully over the ground and that he will
endeavor to have a suitable approach
built. one that will meet the demands
of traffic and conform In appearance
with the general structure.
