Turkey Is Not Esse initial,

In view of the high prices which it
seems will be forced upon the people
for turkey for the Thanksgiving Day
feast, the Chester Times suggests var
ious other means whereby a good din
ner may be had. by saying But
turkey is not an essential to a good
dinner for Thanksgiving or any other
occasion, and the good housekeeper can
easily get along with some other menu.
1t is good year to demonstrate that
turkey is not necessarily an element
of the Thanksgiving for the market
stalls TEEN with edibles to help the
family out. Young porkers do not cost
as much as turkey and a dinner ON
stuffed pig is preferred to turkey by
some epicures and the meat tastes very
much like the first cut of the national
bird. But if the menu cannot be pig,
then why not try chicken, which can
be procured at reasonable rate, either
for roast or the old time stew, while
there is lamb. the varied cuts of beef
and the whole sisterhood of meats that
make good eating and will serve to
circumvent the turkey trust and if
there is care in looking for the side
dishes and the extras that go to make
up the Thanksgiving feast, much mon
ey can be saved -

P. R. R. OBSERVES
THE SABBATH

| One of the most remarkable orders
ever issued by the Pennsylvania Rail.
road company was responsible for the
silencing of the local division of the
system yesterday. Only two trains
were run through South Danville yes
terday. when usually Sunday is made
the occasion of particularly large
freight movement, the long trains fol-
lowing each other sometimes at inter-
walls of but few miles.
The order which was sent to all
points on the great system Saturday
directed that no trains be run between
o'clock Saturday evening and 6
O'Clock Sunday evening, except stock
trains and the regular passenger
trains.
No perishable freight trains were to
be started from New York, Philadel-
phia or the other great centers of
traffic. When machinery began to
move again last night, everything was
almost as it was left off Saturday even
ing. There was no more or no less
freight at any point than there was
before.
The money stringency is the cause
assigned by the company for this
radical move. This month the road has
had great difficulty in paying its men
in cash. At Harrisburg 80 per cent.
of each employees wages was in
script. This one days shut down will
save the company many thousands of
dollars.
The Sunbury division officials say
that they always have tried to keep
down the Sunday movement of freight
trains and would never run any if
they could help it.
The company is now running at al
most it's fullest capacity especially on
the Sunbury division. 1t is doubtful
if it can profitably close down for one
seventh of the time without causing
serious congestion. Every train is as
heavy as the engines can pull, and the
order will merely block all freight a
full day.

good Saturday afternoon and evening
Incidentally. the policemen were kept
busy. Their labors did not cease un.
til nearly daylight Sunday morn
ing.
There was trouble of some sort near
ly everywhere and all at the same
time. There was quarrel among the
colored population on the fiat and a
case of aggravated assault and battery
in the Polish quarter. Scores of men
in the celebration of the big pay got
loaded up with boose and required
more or less attention from the police
Several delegations from the cunutry
sampled the product of the town bars
little too deeply, after which they
found abundant cause for quarrel with
the town boys. One of these parties
started a small riot and but for the
timely arrival of the police would no
doubt have been seriously injured be-
fore they got out of town.
All disorder was quelled before any
serious results followed. Only one
man was lodged in the lookup and that
was denizen of the foreign quarter
with an unpronounceable name. who
was accused of making deadly as

In Favor of Postal Banks.


In recent address In Chicago, Post

times of financial excitement like the
present would in large part be deposit

such an institution existed from which
it would promptly find its way back
into the banks to restore some of the
strength they had lost by the lack of

last year over the preceding year was

RAPID INCREASE
OF TYPHOID

grounds for some. ANXIETY on the score
of the recent outbreak of typhoid few
er. This is not due so much to the
number of cases as to the rapidity
with which they have multiplied dur
ing the few days past.
An investigation shows that there
are in townsno less than ten or doz-
en- cases in which the disease either
has been diagnosed as typhoid fever or
there are symptoms present that point
to the development of that disease A
leading physician yesterday afternoon
stated that he had four new cases to
report to the local registrar, while
there were ON his list two other cases
that would probably develop into that
disease.
DR.. O. Shultz, the local registrar,
states that there is nothing alarming
in the number of cases reported up to
date, although he admits that the sud-
den increase is feature to be watch
ed with some curiosity. Should the
disease spread no further or only a
little beyond its present scope, as above
stated. there will be no especial cause
for alarm. II, on the other hand. the
new ses'should continue to multip-
ly it will be ouly few days until the
line of safety will be passed and the
number of cases will be above the
normal.
r. w. Snyder, of West Mahoning
street, typhoid fever patient, on Sat
urday was removed TO the Joseph Ratti
hospital at Bloomsbury tor treatment
The disease at present is scattered ov-
er the entire town and seems to en-
brace all classes, old and young Among
the patients are representatives of
some of the best known families of
town. None of those suffering with
the disease at the present time are in
dangerous condition.
AS to the cause of the sudden out
break the doctors are wholly at sea.
The patients. without exception, use
hydrant water, although few plead
guilty of taking occasionally drink
of we'll water.
A series of freshets during the six
weeks past has kept the channel of the
river we'll flushed so that danger from
the hospital sewage is reduced to
minimum. 1t is question. however,
whether the sewage.from the hospital
at all times and under all circumst-
ances is not menace to the health of
our town.
A physician of Danville. who is not
altogether free from anxiety on the
subject of typhoid adverted to the
quality of river water Yesterday. He
is not at all optimistic in the matter.
Said he
Think of the quantity of sewage
accommodating at the hospital for the
insane, a colony of approximately fif-
teen hundred people, every twenty
four hours. How much less than q ton
is it for each day. Reflect for mo-
ment on what sewage is Emade up of
and then bear in mind that the stuff
is dumped into the river mile above
our water works. Try to picture the
extent of pollution that takes place
and then reflect whether our filter
plant, modern and we'll equipped as
it is, can be relied upon to eliminate
the impurities and protect our town
from the dangersof plague.
To many persons the above will sug-
gest the advisability of boiling water
used for culinary and drinking purposes
which after all is the only safe course
to pursue in an emergency of the pres
ent sort.
