BOY CHARGED With
ARSON & LARCENY

Charged with the high crimes of
arson, breaking and entering, also
larceny, John Yarrish, a sixteen year
old Polish boy, of Marion Heights,
near Shamokin, is now locked up in
the Northumberland county Jail await
ing hearing.
Special Officer A. j. Britain made
the arrest and preferred the charges
for the Pennsylvania Railroad COM
pany. Young Yarrish was in Sunbury
Monday and started for home OH a
freight train sometime during the
forepart of the night. About two
O'Clock yesterday morning he broke
into the pump station and warehouse
of the railroad company at the Weigh
Scales, stole several razors and other
articles belonging to L. @. Moore, the
man in charge during the day.
After committing the larceny, it is
alleged, he set fire to the building and
then fed. Shortly after a Sunbury
crew passed and discovered the fire,
extinguished it in time to prevent any
serious damage. The red tongues of
destruction, however, had licked their
way to within several feet of l8 gal
Ions of gasoline in air tight barrels.
Later another crew hearing of the
affair recalled having seen suspic.
ious character in box Car which
stood on siding down the tracks.
The inmate of the box Car was Var.
rish. and he was later taken into GUS
tody by Officer Britain. When arrest.
ed the boy had the stolen razors on his
person and carried a loaded revolver.
When taken before Justice Carpenter,
Yarrish made no denial of breaking
into the building but contended he did
so for the sole purpose of getting
warm. He also pleaded not guilty tc
the arson charge, explaining the origin
of the fire by saying that lantern
which he lighted had exploded.
Prison records show that Yarrist
has already served thrifty days in jai
for the theft of a bicycle. The evid
ence is so strong against him on three
charges that he has little chance OF
escaping conviction and his punish
ment, it is predicted, will be as severe
as his crimes merit.

HEALTH DEPT
LABORATORY open

In a letter addressed to over ten
thousand physicians in Pennsylvania,
State Health Commissioner Samuel G..
Dixon has announced the opening of
the laboratories of the department. of
health, located at the University of
Pennsylvania.
The announcement will be received
with great satisfaction not only by
the physicians but also by the people
of the State, especially in the rural
districts, because of the opportunity
afforded doctors to accurately diagnose
conditions by the most improved scien
tific laboratory methods.
The opening of the department of
health laboratories ranks in import
ance with the establishment by Health
Commissioner Dixon nearly year ago
of five hundred stations for the free
distribution of diphtheria antitoxin
among the poor throughout the State.
DR.. Dixon's letter to the physicians
is as follows:
Recognizing the great benefits
which must accrue to the individual
practitioner of medicine and his patti
ents as we'll as to the public health
through the operation of fully equip
ped laboratory, the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania offers gratuitously to the
physicians of the State, the facilities
| of such an institution. The accom-
plishment of this subject has been one
of the chief aims of the department
ever since its creation and the con-
summation at this time is due in a
great measure to the spirit of generos-
ity displayed by the University of
Pennsylvania in placing at our i'm
mediate disposal, rooms we'll adapted
| to the needs of the laboratory The
scope of the work embraced in this
| division of the department is set forth
some what briefly in the accompany
ing pamphlet. If you desire to avail
yourself in any way of the use of the
laboratory, kindly indicate upon the
enclosed postal the number of outfits
desired for the collection of specimens
and the same will be provided, togeth.
er with the blank request cards, ad-
dressed envelopes and return wrappers
for the packages.
"The outfit will be for your practice
outside of municipalities having lab
oratories for the same purpose
Requests should be sent in prompt
ly so that the department may have
some estimate of how many outfits
will be needed and thereby avoid any
unnecessary delay and the purchasing
of an over-supply.
Accompanying the letter is small
booklet outlining the character Of the
work it is proposed to do in the labor
atories. The laboratory facilities offer
ed are for work only in connection
with physicians practice outside of
municipalities having laboratories for
the same purpose, as Philadelphi ia,
Pittsburg. and several of the other
larger cities.
Health Commissioner Dixon will be
assisted in carrying. on the work of
the laboratories by DR.. Allen J..
Smith. one of the leading physicians
in this country, who has been appoint
ed director of pathology, and Dr. Her
| bert Fox, chief of the laboratories.

SACRED CROCODIlES.
The Famous Shrine and the "Laby-

The Famous Shrine and the "Laby-
ruth" In Egypt.
The crocodile, one of the most sacred
animals of the east, has given Its name
to several ancient sites. OF the various
cities of crocodiles the names of which
have been handed down to us by He
rodotus, Pllny and Strabo, perhaps the
most striking was the "Crocodilopolis"
of the ancient Egyptian province Of
Fayum, which, according to tradition,
was built by that pharaoh who made
the lives OF the children of Israel bit
ter with hard service" This province
lies within an almost complete circle of
hills-a little oasis In the midst of the
desert where roses and grapes mingle
with figs and olives and luxuriant palm
ital is Medinet, and little to the north
of the city are number of irregularly
shaped mounds. Beneath these are the
ruins of the pharaoh built "Crocodilop-
oils" the CITY of Crocodiles," later
called Arsinoe and the shrine of the
sacred croc odile of the neighboring
Lake Moeris which was then 450 miles
in circumfeI ence. This lake held the
sacred crocouiles, and as each died In
turn 1t was Euried in one of the 1900
famed ''labyrinth' at hand, side by side

REAL CAUSE OF CRIME.
Criminal Glasses Recruited from Pau
pers Who Have Become
Disheartened

New York.-A simple method OF
abolishing vice and crime in New
York and other large cities is an
nounced by Prof. Alexander Haig, the
distinguished English physician and
psychologist to the British hospital In
London.
The criminal classes, according to
him, are recruited from the pauper
classes, who, after they lose heart, .
become unemployable and degenerate
into chronic loafers, beggars or
thieves.
This thing of losing heart, DR.. Haig
says, is not mere sentimental or
emotional state, but is an actual,
physical degeneration of the heart,
due to insufficient nourishment. He
says:
81 believe that when the poor and
unemployed lose heart 1t means that
the heart muscle is at last sharing
with the other muscles in the general
malnutrition. AS tAe result of this
the heart probably fails and dilates
and is perhaps never again able tc
keep up the same blood pressure, tc
produce the same muscular nutrition
and the former strength of muscle, o.
nerve, or of will power.

carefully dieted and rested for month.

| But poor people never have thi
chance. The most they can hope Il
that as spring comes around an in
crease of work may lift them abov,
the verge of starvation, and thei
hearts therefore never have an oppor
tunity of completely recovering"
