Dildlne Gratlfvd With Preparati MS
Says Graagors Will Swarm 10 Sunbury
Like Bees

Charles II Dildine has sent the
following letter relating to the
Grange convention that will be
held a Sunbnry next month.
Rohrsburg Pa, Nov. I, 1905.
Dear Sir:-Gt i gratifying to see
how willing the people of Sunbury
are to take lodgers. | will arrive
in your city Monday, December
nth, a day before the convention,
and open headquarters and a bureau
of information in the Armory. The
Grange will have a committee to
meet all trains and escort the dele
gates and visitors to the Armorv,
when they will be given their lodg-
ing place and everything will work
like COCK work.
Dinner, on Tuesday, December
i2th, will BE- the first meal. | Just
heard from a number of county
Oranges throughout the state, and
they say they will swarm into your
city like bees. All the officers will
arrive on the nth, but the Grange
Train will not arrive until Tuesday
the T2th. Tell your chief of police
that he will not need all extra force
as everything will be harmonious.
Did you stop to think of the
amount of money that the Grange
convention will leave in Suubury? ?
1u four da! S they will spend n ar y
$40, 900 for board aud lodgings
alone. And each will spend from
81 to $40 for merchandise, presents,
etc. The State Grange gives the
delegates the money to pay their car
fare, and the county Oranges sup
ply the money for the meals and
lodgings.
You say there are a number of
old Grangers in your city? Nine
men and four ladies can organize a
local Grange. If that number is
secured l will come and organize
them. When we met at Erie las,
year, Judge Wallig said he would
join and he did, and he is now one
OF our most earnest workers.
| send all your letters and the
articles the various newspapers so
kindly publish in the interest OF
the convention to State Headquar-
tiers.

Member Executive Board.

The Few Shoot While the Millions starve.

A news item says that Mrs. Lett
er, the American mother OF Lady
Curzon, has rented Tullock Castle
in Rosshire. Scotland with 1000
acres OF land for grouse shooting.
There are many such great game
preserves in England and Scotland,
many of them made from lands for
merly under cultivation. Mean
while hundreds of thousands OF En-.
glish farmers with their wives and
children have been driven to the
great cities, into idleness and vice
with the inevitable resultant mental
physical AMI moral deterioration
While wealthy Englishmen and
Americans shoot over these great
preserves, there are eight millions
inhabitants of the United Kingdom
constantly in danger Of starvation
and twenty millions more who are
not comfortable, in the simple and
clean sense of the word.
There rs, 900, 900, who are either
on the borders of want or in danger
of starvation, out of a total popula-
ton OF ~ ,ooo, 900, are huddled in
the cities.
A similar tendency to leave the
country and go to the cities is every
where apparent in America and if
it goes on unchecked, is bound here
as it has done in England, to cause
gradual degeneration of the race.
How to overcome this tendency
is a problem deserving the best
efforts OF statesmen, ptilanthropists,
and churChmen as we'll as the great
captains of commerce and railway
magnates who make railway rates
that favor the great cities at the
expense of the rest of the country
thus attracting to the cities hun
dreds of thousands who for their
own good and that of their children
ought to stay in the country and IN
the smaller towns. -Pakri0k

TIE ELECTION

Pennsylvania has been rescued
from the hands of the most iniquit-
Gus gang of corrupt leaders that
ever disgraced an American state.
The election of William H. Berry
to the Office of State Treasurer is
not Democratic victory, but the
result Of an uprising of honest
citizens of all parties who are tired
Of the political methods that were
invented by NJ. S. Quay, and which
have dominated the state for many
years but which now in the absence
OF their inventor nave come to
grief under the leadership OF less
astute politicians and grafters.
The state treasury has been In
the hands OF the gang for many
years, and that the state funds have
been used by them for their person
al gain is beyond any question, and
no one but a few hide bound gang
organs has had the temerity to
deny it. The candidate for state
treasurer has been elected by the
machine term after term, 50 that
there has been no opportunity for
investigation, but now Mr.. Berry
will lift the lid and there are likely
10 be some interesting develop
ments. Just watch and see what
happens.

ABOUT FOOD POISONING.
Absolute Cleanliness in Handing Of Foods ss-
sential-Turn Out Canned Goods on Opening.

There are many ways in which
food-stuffs may give rise to more or
less serious disturbances OF health.
Official examinations are constantly
revealing how widespread is the
practice of adding preservatives or
adulterants to viands of all sorts and
though it must be admitted that in
many instances these substances
are by their nature or the smallness
of the quantities used comparat vely
harmless, still in the majority of
cases the conditions are such as to
render their presence extremely un-
desirable.
But entirely apart from these,
severe illness not infrequently f,ll-
ows the use of certain common
foods. In animal foods, extremely
poisonous principles called ptomains
easily appear as the result of bact-
erial activity, aud may cause whole.
sale illness.
Dairy products are especially
prone to such changes, and it not
properly cared tor may develop ty-
rotoxicon, or cheese poison, a sub.
stance that is not rare in ice cream,
while botulism is serious form of
ptomain poisoning, following the
eating oftainted meat or sausage.
Fish and shellhsh yield similar
products, specially vicious poison
named mytilotoxin having been iso-
lated from muscles, and canned
things are also often offenders in
this way.
The symptoms produced by these
substances may be extremely Sc
we're, and comprise intense gastric
pain, vomiting, intestinal disturb
arces. burning thirst, construction
OF the throat, and ofteutimes dis
turbance of sight, such as hazy and
double vision. In marked cases
there is great prostration aud weak
ness of the heart, which may last
for weeks.
The practical lesson to be drawn
from a consideration of these posi-.
bilities is the necessity for scrupu.
lous care in the handling of all
things intended for table use. All
periShable foods must be consumed
as quickly as possible, and must
never be- left out of the ice chest
longer than is absolutely necessary.
Canned goods should be entirely
removed from the tin as soon as
opened, and nothing that is intend
ed to be eaten should ever be allow.
ed to stand unprotected from the
dust. The air is constantly swarm.
ing with bacteria and mold spores,
which find admirable conditions for
growth in the dishes prepared for
the human stomach, and often give
rise to the production Of the poisons
in question. Lastly, every article
of food, timed or otherwise, that is
at all abnormal in appearance,
taste or odor, should be discarded.

A PROCLAMATION

A HkONl.hMf loN
When, nearly three centuries
go, the first settlers came to the
,uutry which has now become this
at republic, they fIonted not
!v hardships and privation, but
ryible risk to their lives. In those
IN years the custom grew of set
,..ig apart one day in each year for
a special service of thanksgiving to
the Almighty for preserving the
people through the changing sea-
sons.
The custom has become national
and halowed by immemorial usage.
We live in easier and more plenti-
full times, than our forefathers, the
men who, with rugged strength,
faced the rugged days; and yet the
dangers to national life are quite as
great now as at any previous time
in our history.
1t is eininently fitting that once a
year our people should set apart a
day for praise and thanksgiving to
the giver Of good, and, at the same
time, that they express their
thanktulness for the abundant mer-
cies received, should manfully ac-
knowledge their shortcomings and
pledge themselves solemnly and in
good faith TO strive to overcome
them.
During the last year we have
been blessed with bountiful crops.
Our business prosperity has been
great. No other people has ever
stood on as high level OF material
well-being as ours now stands. We
are not threatened by foes from
without.
The foes from whom we should
pray to be delivered are our own
passions. appetites and folly.
Against these there is always
need that we should war.
Therefore, l now set apart Thurs
day, the 3oth day of this Novem-
Der, as a day of thanksgiving for
the past and of prayer for the fu-
ture, and on that day l ask that
throughout the land the people
gather in their homes and places of
worship, and in rendering thanks
unto the Most High for the mani
fold blessings of the past year, con-
secrate themselves to a life of clean
illness. honor and wisdom, SO that
this nation may do its allotted work
on the earth in manner worthy of
those who founded it and of those
who preserved it.
In witness whereof l have here
unto set my hand and caused the
seal of the United States to be
affixed.
Done at the city of Washington
this second day Of November, in
the year of our Lord one thousand
nine hundred aud FIVE, and of the
independence of the United States
the one hundred and thirtieth.
