CHESTER.
The Lantern, June 2S: Mosquitoes
are said to be the immediate cause Of
all chills and fever and all forms OF
malaria. Their bites cause malarial
troubles just as vaccination causes a
sore arm. Therefore the thing to do
is not to let them bite you. 1t will
be seen that Messrs. Hough & Clarke
offer protection, in the form Of nets.
1t will pay even poor people to provide
this comfort. thus saving themselves
much discomfort, loss Of time and doc
tor and drug bills. You should see
to this before the supply Of nets Is
gone and before the mosquitoes get you
and all you children "vaccinated.'

son of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. D. Glass at

when the little boy was either run over
or kicked by the horse and its skull
crushed and some of it's brains oozed
out. Drs. Fennel and CASTOR were
called in and removed the fractured
pieces of skull from the brain and the
little fellow is still living but his re-
covery is doubtful. SO York county
produced 13 peaches this year, though
somewhat faulty. We don't know or
a single one in Chester county. And
we give notice now that we don't want
anybody to come poking in here telling
us that he has, or has had, peaches;
let him bring the peaches along-not
to show simply, for how can we tell
that they were raised in Chester coun-
ty unless we eat them? We have seen
five apples and heard Of another, but
we have no assurance that they Will
come to maturity. :. Miss Ethel Clin-
