a farmer named Morgan Macmahon,
who lives on small island in the
estuary of the Shannon. took the horse
by boat to the mainland, and after
working it all day turned it loose in
the evening with a number Of other
horses. When the owner awoke next
morning what was his astonishment
to find the faithful animal peacefully
grazing near its stable. II was wet as
from swim. and there is not the
slightest doubt that the horse had
swum all the way from the mainland
TO the island, a distance Of a little less

Hot or Cold Water.

1t Is a debatable question whether
it IL wise practice to drink cupful
Of hot water Immediately upon rising
every morning. The hot-wateF fiends
fancy that they cannot live without
their morning drink but there are re-
liable physicians who claim that this
practice is facilitating to the stomach
and that 1t cannot fail to do injury.
The habitnal use of cold water is an
excellent habit to form. II is natural
to drink cold water. Cold water is a
tonic to the stomach, as it is to the
skin. 1t gives toniclty to the mucous
walls of the stomach. The practice of
taking five or six glasses of cold water
day is a good one. 1t will help to

Tor 2o3S1 deaths in Pennsylvania during the

from scarlet fever and IS from malarlaI

When we consider said State Health
commissioner Dixon, that during the year
1915 our state lost 1852 lives from tuber-
culosls 1t will be seen how great a boon
the legislature has rendered humanity in
granting the appropriation totaling 81 OO0,-

probably 1oG0D persons IN the state TODAY

clated that the war against this terrible dis

nardest KIND Of fighting"
In 1906 the records of the department
snow that 1886 people in Pennsylvania lost
their lives by railway accidents; there were
$40 suicides and 351 nomicides. Cholera

the hot months of the year sol deaths oc-
