DISEASES OF
MID-WINTER

The local registrars report to the
bureau of vital statistics for January
shows the usual amount of illness in
cidental to midwinter, although the
general health is better than during
the mouth of December.
Eleven cases of typhoid fever were
reported during January as against
seven cases in December. In proper
tion TO the population there is nothing
abnormal in eleven cases of typhoid
fever. Besides, the majority OF the
cases were reported during the early
part of the month and are now con-
valescent. There is scarcely any doubt
but that Danville's practical immun-
ity from typhoid fever, which is pre-
vailing in so many of our neighboring
towns, is due in great measure to the
precaution of boiling water used for
drinking and culinary purposes as well
as to the efficacy of our filter plant,
which cleanses and purifies the river
water.
AS relates to diphtheria, the most
dreaded disease of childhood, the sit
uation is much improved, there being
but one case in January as against five
cases of that disease. one of which was
fatal. in the month of December.
This is the season when pneumonia
begins to gather in its victims. Dur
ing January there were three cases, of
this dreaded disease, one being fatal,
as against one case in December, which
was fatal.
Scarlet fever made its appearance
during January, three cases being re-
ported. There we're no deaths from
this disease.
The general improvement as relates
to the public health is noticeable in
the falling off Of grippe. A couple OF
weeks ago there was scarcely family
but had one or more victims OF this
disease. Some of the cases were attend
ed with good deal of suffering. while
there were few who were not too bad
ly indisposed to pursue their daily
vocations. The falling off of grippe is
attributed by the doctors to the more
seasonable weather which has prevail.
ed during the couple of weeks past.
During January there were twenty
Ave death in the district, six of these
occurring at the hospital for the in
sane.
The births for December which were
not previously printed, were twenty.
three as against twenty-one deaths for
that month.

SPARROW POT PIE.

Commenting on the statement that
he Italian residents of Wiikes-Barre
are converting the English sparrows of
that city into pot pies, the Warren
Mirror informs us that Sparrow pot
pie has been eaten and enjoyed by
many residents of Warren and vicinity
for some years past and considered q
delicscy by all who have tried the ex-
pertinent. This is especially true of
the country, where the birds feed up
on the seeds of weeds and grain in the
fields or about barns. Their bones are
50 small and delicate that they can be
placed whole in the pie and the meat
on the breast has all the flavor of the
quail.

Six rlore Weeks of Cold Weather.

this reversal of the prevalent express
sion would describe the stunt of the
grounding on Saturday. His Hogship
did his little act, and according to the
old tradition, the winter is not yet at
an end and we are to have cold and
stormy weather for the next six weeks.
The sun was shining brightly the
greater part of the day, and not with
standing that his eyes may have been
somewhat blinkey on emerging from
his long sleep into the bright glare of
day light, our friend had no difficulty
in discerning his shadow distinctly
outlined on the snow. After taking a

say geodbye-not even inquiring about
politics or the legislature-he turned
his back on the glittering world and

come out until the six weeks are elaps-
