How to Cure a Cold.

The question of how to cure a cold
without unnecessary loss Of time is
one in which we are all more or less
interested, for the quicker a cold is
gotten rid of the less the danger of
pneumonia and other serious diseases.

used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for
years and says: 81 firmly believe
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to be abb
solutely the best preparation on the
market for colds. 1 have recommend

GAME PLENTIFUL.
More This Year in Pennsylvania Than
Has Been Seen 10 the State
for Many Years.
so SAYS GAME SECRETARY KALBfUs.

"There will be more game this
year in Pennsylvania than has
been seen in the state for many
years" SNate Game Secretary
Kalbfus says, 81 am getting
splendid accounts from my G. RE-
spondcnLs all over the state.
From evecy section come good
accounts of the vast quantlues of
game th,s year.
"This is so with pheasants,
wild turkeys, deer, quail, gray
squirrels aid rabbits. There
will be more deer killed than for
many year. AS for quail | have
the best kind of reports especial
ly concerning the quail we got
from Alabama for breeding pur.
poses. Some of them have been
seen leading tiocks of tweuty.one,
which is propagatin. some.
"The reports concerning deer
are very encouraging, but there
are also reports that some are
being killed out of season. Well
get the people who do that and
teach them lesson. | account
for the increase in the amount of
game to the fact that there have
been few forest fires this year,
owing to the increased vigilance
of the forest wardens, who are al.
so game wardens, and the work
of the people generally, who are
taking an interest IN the game
question and are on the watch to
protect game out of season and to
see that during the open season,
the laws regarding the amount
of game one man can kill during
season are observed.
"The day of the pot hunter is
gone in this state, and the men
who kill game toship it outside
for sale have about teen eliminat-
ed. The true sportsman is com
ing into his own, and he is taking
mighty good care that he observ-
es the law and compels others to
observe it..

PURIFY YOUR WELL.
State Health Commissioner Tells Folks
of Rural Districts How to Pre-
vent Typhoid.


"Dlslnfect your wells and avoid
typhoid fever" said State Health
mmlssioner Samuel G.. Dixon,
IN discussing the campaign which
the State Department of Health
is making against thus disease
that Is attended with so much
suffering and mortality through.
out the State.
Mr.. Dixon was speaking par
ticalarly of the rural districts,
where such large part of the
population have wells or springs
on their properties and do not
realize that they are seriously
polluted until drinking from them
has opened the door of the home
to typhoid. On investigation i.
is found that these wells aud
springs receive their pollution by
surface drainage from neighbor-
ing vaults, barnyards or pig sites.
DR.. Dixon SAID
"Of course, the first thing to
10 is to remove the cause of pol
luton; that is, locate such build
ings so that the drainage from
them will not reach the water
supply.
Many wells are polluted by the
persons who go to them for wa
ter, carrying filth on their shoes,
as for instance when the farmer
walks directly from the barnyaro
to the we'll IN times of wet wealth
er, if the platform of the well is
not in good repair the refuse that
he carries on his boots and de
poslts on the platform finds It's
way into the well.
To dlsinfect the we'll or spring,
the cheapest, and perhaps the
best, agent Is freshly burned ur-
Stacked lime. For the ordinary
well atleastone half lfbushel shou d
be dumped into the well, and by
means of a long-handled brush
The sides should be carefully
scrubbed down with the resulting
milk OF lime.
"The we'll should then be pump.
ed out, cleaned. allowed to refill
and like amount of lime added.
The we'll should then be allowed
to stand for at least twenty four
hours, and after being repeated
ly exhausted and allowed to refill
until all traces of the lime have
disappeared it may again be used.
The delivery pipe, chains and
other fixtures should be scrub
bed with solution made by dis
solving six ounces of pure carbol-
ic acid in gallon of hot water,
which should IN turn be removed
by scrubbing with plain water.
In the case of springs, an ade-
quate amount of lime should be
used, their bottom and sides be-
ing thoroughly scrubbed with
the resulting milk of lime"

MUCH MAIL NOT DELIVERED
Failure 0f Writers TO Put Their Address.
es on Letters and Packages the
Principal Cause.
HAVE NAME AND ADDRESS PRINTED.

How to effect reduction in
the enormous amount of undeliv.
erable letters and packages which
are being received by the dead
letter Office, Is a matter to which
Assistant Postmaster General
Dc Graw has been giving much
attention since that division was
placed within his jurisdiction.
Over 100000 pieces of unde.
liverable mail were handled by
the division last year, and the av.
erage number received each day
Is now between 10000 and 85, 900.
Mr.. De Graw believes that this
nun ber Is excessive and could be
greatly reduced by the use of or.
dinary care by Patrons OF the
postal service.
Not only are the writer's and
addressed put to great inconven.
ieace and trouble by the non de.
llvsrY of their mail, but the pc
cuniary loss is considerable, as
during last month alone over 80,
600 for which no owners could be
found, was turned mt, the Fed.
eral treasury. Unfortunately.
the greater part of the monetary
loss falls upon persons who are
most in need of funds.
Failure on the part of writer's
to put their addresses on letters
and packages is the, principal
cause of the losses. Mail mat.
ter bearing the return address Of
the writer is not sent to the dead
letter Office, but returned direct
ly to the sender in case of non. de-
Ii 'ery, and it is by giving the wild.
est publicity to the neglect of the
writer's to observe this simple
precaution that Mr.. De Graw
hopes ia accomplish something
towards the general adoption Of
the plan by the people.
The postoffice department is
now sending out cards upon
which are printed the form of ad-
dress to be used in mailing let
ters, postal cards, ETC., suggest
ing that card addresses of the
writer be placed in the left upper
corner of the envelope. One OF
these cards Is being enclosed in
each dead letter returning to the
writer. Good results are expect
ed through this method, but, OF
course, only a portion OF the peo.
pie can be reached in that way.
Business men have long ago
learned that they cannot afford
to use an envelope on which their
name and address is not printed,
and dozens of farmer and others
get their envelopes and letter pa
per at printing Office with name
and address printed on, where
one did ten years ago. By get
ting bunch of them printed at {
time, the expense is but little
more than buying a small quan
tity at time from a retail deal
er, without the printing.
