Other Counties Heard From.

County Commissioners Clerk Horace
q. Blue yesterday mailed several doz-
en- copies of the county statement to
neighboring counties of the Common
wealth This was done, according to
custom in return for statements re-
ceived from the commissioners of
those counties. Our genial clerk took
a special delight in returning the COM
pliment for the reason that little Mon
tour has nothing to be ashamed of in
her financial showing and reveals all
amount of liabilities in excess of as
sets that is flatteringly small in COM
parison with any of the other counties
present financial statement in Nor
tour is So, S84. 26.
In Colum bia county the liabilities
in excess of assets are $l6S. 228. 81; in
Union county they are, $50, 553 II; in
Snyder county, S26,227 l6.
To fully understand the significance
of Montour county's showing 1t is
only necessary to refer to the county
statement of 1897 when the liabilities
in our county in excess OF the assets
were shown to be $50, 953. 81 All who
have the figures of this years state
ment before them must argee that the
reduction of debt in Montour county
during ten years time is something to
be proud of.

To Get Big Appropriation.

The public schools of this city will
be greatly benefited by the new school
appropriation bill which allows the
sum of $l3, 600, 900 for education.
The appropriation bill presented to
tine house Monday night and members
of the committee are shouting of the
great reforms instituted in the word
ing of the bill, which carries a total
of S22. 879, 600.
The school system has been recogniz-
ed to the extent of $4,000. 600 which
is $4,000, 600 more than last year. and
the department of health also secures
an increase.
All the shouting is due to the fact
that the capitol expenditures have
caused move for the elimination of
the slipshod methods of financial
housekeeping that have prevailed in
State administrations.
1t is proposed to strike out of all
appropriation bills the joker which
reads 'to be paid out of moneys in
the State treasury not otherwise ap-
propriated " 1t was under this clause
that the 80, 000 900 trimmings" we're
placed in the new capitol and the
State printing was paid for, and un
| der a similar clause that all money
was paid for bridges erected by the
State.
"The public schools this year. said
Chairman Sheatz,' will be given Sl3.
600, 900, and there will be special ap-
preparation of sos, ,635 to the board of
public grounds and buildings, which
will be sufficient to cover all expenses
for the next two years, including sal
aries. supplies, coal, the care of the
capitol and everything as i5 is now.
This means that, unlike the old board,

DIXON PLANS TO
GATHER STATISTICS

From the 81. 757 cases of communic-
able diseases reported to the State de-
partment of health during the year
1906, there is considerable interesting
aud valuable information to be gather.
ed. There we're "a 42l cases of typhoid
fever reported, 6. 902 cases of scarlet
fever, 10, 842 cases of diphtheria and
%, 729 cases of measles, the balance Of
the cases bieng distributed among the
other communicable diseases.
The attempt to collect morbidity re-
turns III the cases of communicable
diseases has been made in several large
cities, but in no State has such report
ing been made compulsory throughout
the rural districts until the system in
augurated by Health Commissioner
Dixon in Pennsylvania was put in
force.
1t has also been DR.. Dixons desire
to make these reports more compre-
hensive than any heretofore collected.
Reports of communicable diseases
in the rural districts are made direct
to the department of health and also
to the county medical inspector by the
physicians in attendance.
1t has been the custom to restrict
the list of reportable diseases, and this
| has been due rather to q subserviency
to public opinion which looked upon
all public health with suspicion, than
to any lack of recognition of the i'm
portauce of the diseases on the part of
health officers and physicians With
increasing knowledge of the exact
causes and methods of transmission of
many diseases has come development
of methods of prevention, and modern
sanitati on demands that this knowl-
edge be used for public benefit.
Iu connection with the reporting of
communicable diseases by the physic-
iaus Health Commissioner Dixon said
recently, II cannot too strongly ex-
press the qualification l have expert
enced at the hearty and prompt re-
sponse which / have met from most of
my fellow physicians to this new and
somewhat unusual demand upon their
time and attention.
During the coming year feel sure
we will get faI more reports from the
physicians than we have been doing,
for the prompt placarding of every
case in the rural districts by the health
officers that we are now appointing
and the disinfection of the premises
upon the termination of the case, will
be an added incentive to the physic
ians to report their cases promptly. "

Do you know how
To find quick relief from backache;
To correct distressing urinary ills;
To surely cure sick kidneys?
Just one way-your neighbors know
Have used Doan Kidney Pills;
Have proved their worth in many
tests.
Here's Dtnville testimony.
Mrs Edward E. Lunger, of II Church

Doans K idney Pills. / would not

alton in 1896 IN which | gave my opin-
ion of D0au' Kidney Pills on account
of the great benefit l had received
from their use. / have never had any
cause TO regret making that statement
and now over ten years afterwards,
can reiterate the statement. Before
taking this remedy | suffered for
months with backache and lameness
and soreness in the back The pain ov-
er my hips was continuous and when
on my eft it was one steady gnawing
ache. 1t hurt me to do anVthing re.
quiring a bending position, sharp
twinges would catch me so suddenly
that | had to brace myself until they
stopped. The kidney secretions annoy
ed me and | often suffered from head
aches | read statements given by peo-
pie in this vicinity who had used
Doan Kidney Pills and concluded to
try them They did me more good
than any other medicine l ever tried.
After a few doses | no longer expert
enced such severe pain and finally the
pain was removed entirely. The an
noyance caused by the irregularities
of the kidney secretions was entirely
removed l can honestly recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills to those suffering
as did.

Love STRONGER
THAN FEAR

SEATTLE, June % After q strug-
gle with himself, debating between his
love of liberty and the desire to look
once more upon the face of his dead
sister before she should be laid away
in her last resting place, Redmond A.
Willis, deserter from the Saith United
states coast artillery. deliberately gave
himself up to the officials of the law
and will suffer the punishment for his
crime
In surrendering himself at police
headquarters Willis thought that he
would be sent back to New York city.
where the body Of his dead sister nov
lies awaiting burial, and he counted on
the kindness of the officers at Fort
Hamilton to allow him an opportunity
of being In attendance at the funeral
but it is probable that his sacrifice
win be entirely in vain. 1t is not Gus.
tomary to return army deserters to thu
place OF desertion for trial, and VIII.
lis is now in the guardhouse at Fort
.Lawton. where he will probable be held
for trial.
Willis left Fort Hamilton in Janu.
airy last. after having served one yea
and seven months in the army. HI
gradually worked his way westward
until he reached Seattle several weeks
ago. Tuesday he received a Telegram
with the news of the death Of his sis
ter. and stating that the body woul'
be held until his arrival home. He ha,
not enough money to cover the cost o
his transportation home, and although
he realized what his punishment woul'
be, he decided to accept 1t rather thar
not respond to the sad summons.
