The most ancient kind of candy is the

Julius Dragatus, noted Roman baker
and confectioner, who belonged to the
family of Fabius. According to the

family of Fabius. But at the birth or
marriage of one of that family a great
distribution of dragati took place as a
sign OF rejoicing. The custom is still
observed by many of the nobility Of
Europe.
The pastille is of far later origin,
having been invented and introduced
into France by an Italian confectioner,
the FlOrentine, John Pastilla, a pro-
tege of the Medicis. When Maria de-
Medici married Henry ". CT France,
Pastilla accompanied his sovereign to
the French court, where his bonbons
had a tremendous vogue. Everybody

Itching, Burning Skin Disease
Routed without Use Of
Injurious Drugs.
Great inventors have often been
praised for surrendering the secrets
of their discoveries. Practically the
same thing happened in the medical
world In the case of DR.. Decatur D.
Dennis. the eminent skin specialist OF
Chicago.
DR. Dennis, in his own Office prac-
tice, discovered that pure vegetable
oil of wintergreen, properly mixed
with other simple remedies, was
practically sure specific for Eczema,
PSORIASIS, barber's itch, salt rheum,
and other itching skin diseases. But
the oil of wintergreen alone was found
ineffective. It required other mild
ingredients such as glycerine and
thy mol compounded with the winter
green to produce the real eczema
cure.
This compounded D. D. D. Prescrip-
ton positively takes away the itch at
once-the instant it is applied to the
skin. This vegetable liquid does
away with deleterious drugs SO long
used in an attempt to doctor the
blood, whereas modern science has
determined that eczema is first and
all the time skin disease.

Schools CLOSED
ON Thursday

The school board held SPECIAL meet
ing Monday to take action OH num-
erously signed petition presented by
pupils of the high school,, asking that
the public schools of the borough be
closed on next Thursday in order to
enable teachers and pupils to attend
the Bloomsburg fair on that day. 1t
was decided to grant the request.
The following members of the board
we're present: Pursel, Orth, Barber,
Swarts, Redding, Fish, Fischer, Seoh-
ler, Lloyd. Heiss. President Pursel
announced the object of meeting.
The petition addressed to the board
was signed by 155 pupils. To bring
the matter before the board Mr. Sech-
Ter moved that the schools of the bor-
ough be closed on Thursday. The mo-
tion was duly seconded.
The matter was discussed at length,
the board at first appearing nearly
evenly divided on the question.
DR.. Barber said with him it was a
grave question whether or not it was
right to close the schools for such a
purpose. He ventured the prediction
that not more than 200 pupils would
get to the fair, which would leave O
thousand children loose on the streets.
Besides, if it were desirable to give
the pupils a day for attending the
fair. he favored Friday. as that day
would be less likely to demoralize the
weeks work. He said in this matter
he was merely voicing the sentiments
that had been expressed by patrons of
the schools with whom he had con-
versed,
Mr.. Swarts explained that the day
would not be lost to the pupils, as in
case the schools were closed the time
would be made up at the end of the
term. 1t was desirable, he said, that
Thursday be selected for attending the
fair, as on that day school children
will be admitted free.
A vote was taken when the motion
carried unanimously and the president
declared that the schools would be
closed on Thursday to enable teachers
and pupils to attend the fair.

A LITTLE BOY
AND A BIG FISH

A very large salmon and very small
boy came within an ace of figuring in
dire calamity in deep water" down
the river the other day.
The small boy was Master Frank
Cummings, four years old, who went
fishing with his grandfather, Frank
Ross, last Saturday, while he big sal
mon-well more of it anon.
E The popular method of fishing for
wall-eyed pike or Susquehanna sal
mon is by trolling, by which it is un-
derstood that the boat is kept moving
and the baited hook is drawn along
through the water at the rear.
Mr.. Ross was manipulating the oars
and Master Cummings was seated in
the stern with the line clutched tight
ly in his:hand. All went we'll until a
20-pound salmon spied the baited hook
and decided to make a meal of it.
When the monster fish seized the bait
with a quick and sudden jerk and
pulled in the opposite direction what
happened to the little boy in the stern
OF the boat can easily be imagined.
His heels flew up and he was on the
point of being pulled out into the riv
er backwards, when Mr.. Ross flew to
his rescue and succeeded not only in
saving the boy but also in pulling in
the fish.
The big salmon was brought to town
and exhibited as trophy. Master
Cummings is very proud of his catch,
although it must be admitted that but
for timely assistance in wrestling with
the fish the contest would have been
an unequal one with odds in favor of
the fish.

In explanation of the above it should
be stated that the bacteria which are
found in varying quantities are micro

the presence of the bacteria in our riv-

The bacilli coli are more to be dread

ed by the report bacilli coli are found
in only one sample. that taken in the

BALL AND CHAIN
FOR TRAMPS

The insoient tramp that was caught
in the act of begging Monday evening
and was waltzed off to the lookup by
Chief Mincemoyer was arraigned be-
fore Justice of the Peace Oglesby
Tuesday morning.
The hobo gave his name as James
Doran and made no attempt to conceal
the fact that he was tramp true to
all the traditions of his tribe, That
he would rather lie in dark cell and
subsist on bread and water than work
for even few days became quite evid-
ent before the hearing was over.
The tramps have become a dreadful
nuisance about town. They have
learned the trick of donning overalls
and otherwise dressing to resemble
working men, so that they are not
likely to be detected as buns until
caught in the act of begging A large
number. it is true, adopt no disguise
but bear all the ear marks of the vag-
rant and these probably form the most
insolent class.
In order TO cope with the buns the
police decided to drag out the ball and
chain and put the vagrants to work.
Accordingly at the hearing yesterday,
when it was established that the hobo
could not pay his fine and costs, which
amounted to five dollars, he was given
the alternative of going to the lock.
up for five days, ,subsisting during i'm
prisonment on bread and water, or of
working upon the streets for five days
Should the fellow choose work, it was
understood, he would be entitled to
good substantial food. Nevertheless,
it took the hobo only the fraction of a
second to decide that he would go to
the lock- Evidently "bread and
water" had no terrors for him that
could compare with the dread in
which he held five days work.
The hobo was remanded to the bor-
ough bastile where he will remain un-
til the church bells ring next Sunday
morning. Meanwhile Chief Mince-
moyer insists that he will adhere to
the bread and water diet.
Let other tramps take warning from
the fate of James Doran.

TEN CASES Of
SCARLET fever

The report of the local registrar to
the bureau of vital statistics for the
month Of September reveals fairly
good state of public health in Dan
Vile.
During the month there were 90
deaths, four of these occurring at the
hospital for the insane. The death
rate, which was very low during the
summer is gradually increasing. The
number of deaths dropped from 25-in
June-to Is, in July. In August the
death rate rose to II. Meanwhile the
birth rate was uniformly higher than
the death rate.
Among the infectious diseases scar
let fever seems to be in the ascend
ency and is on the increase. During
the month ten cases of scarlet fever
were reported. The disease appears in
various forms, some cases being so
light as almost to battle detection.
Under the circumstances it is the be-
lief of the doctors that many cases are
not treated by physicians and consequ-
emily are not reported TO the local reg
istrar. Unfortunately the mild cases
prove a more dangerous factor in the
spreading Of the disease than the more
serious ones, as in the mild cases the
more common precautions are apt to
be omitted. Scarlet fever made its ap-
pearance in June. In August eight
cases of the disease were reported.
Only one case of typhoid fever was
reported during September, which is
a gratifying showing considering the
condition of the river. from which we
obtain our water supply.
One case of pulmonary tuberculosis
was reported during September.
