CONSUMPTIVE PERSONS
State Department of Health Solicits Aid
OF Ladies' Organi cations in Its F ght
Against tuberculosis.

The Department of Health OF the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Is de-
slrous of obtaining the cooperation OF
the members of the ladies organizations
OF the churches in its fight against
tuberculosis OF the lungs, usually known
as consumption. II Is now establishing
In each county in the state dispensary
for the treatment OF INDECENT persons
suffering from this disease, disease
which is responsible for the deaths of a
larger number OF our people than any
other. In jefferson county the dispen-
sary is located at Punxsutawney and
the County Medical Inspector who has
charge of IL is DR.. John CRUDE.
Any persons who suspect that their
lungs are becoming affected and whose
means do not permit them to go TO a
private sanatorlum or expert can, on
applying at the dispensary on the ad-
vertised days, obtain a reliable opinion
as to whether or not they have the
disease In its early stage. II they prove
to need the special care here given they
will receive exact instructions as to
their diet and mode OF living and in
cases where it seems desirable and prac-
ticable they will be furnished the milk
and eggs which should constitute the
greater part of their food, free OF ex-
pense. Medicines, If needed, will also
be furnished free.
Patients will, OF course, be treated in
any stage of the disease, but so far as
the work OF these dispensaries is to be
curative, it is matter OF the utmost
Importance that cases should be seen as
early as possible. 1t Is here especially
that the knowledge which members OF
these ladies' organizations possess OF
those needing aid can be of the greatest
possible assistance. The patients them
selves will BE missionaries and educa-
tors in their own family and circle of
acquaintances, disseminating the know
ledge of the precautions which are alb
solutely essential for the protection OF
those around them from acquiring the
disease. Nurses will also visit the
homes OF the patients in order to make
sure that the instructions OF the ply
sician are faithfully carried out, as we'll
as to detect insanitary conditions which
might retard the patients recovery.

VIM. Evans Stuck Head Out of Trolley
Car Window and Had Marrow
Escape.

William Evans, of Cienshaw. was
coming into Reynoldaville on the Sykes
vile trolley line Saturday night from
Soldier and when the car was running
at high speed he stuck his head out of
window and his forehead eollided with
trolley pole. His head was knocked
back against the window frame with
sufficient force to cut three inch cash
in back Of his head and spatter blood
over some other passengers in the car.
Mr. Evans was unconscious for a few
minutes, He was brought to Reynolds
vile and taken to DR.. Bowser's Office.
Beside the cash on back of head the
mans forehead was in a badly confused
condition. Mr.. Evans had a narrow
escape from instant death. 1t is not
likely that he will stick his head out OF
trolley car windows soon again while
travelling.
Notices are posted on trolley cars
warning people not to stick their heads
or arms out of windows, but the warn
ing is not needed by large number of
people who travel and the wonder is
that there are not more people injured

Police Nab Couple
of Slick ShopIifters
in the Local Stores
Visited Three Places During Noon
Hour and Almost Escaped
With their PIunder.
LODGED IN COUNTY JAIL.

Between 80 aud 1890 Monday,
when most OF the clerks were at dinner,
| only one or two In each store, two
Italian women from Wishaw were busy
shoplifting In the stores OF Gillespies,
Shick & Wagner and Bing-Stoke Co.,
and they stole about So 90 worth of
goods from each store. Each woman
wore shawl over her head and carried
basket on her arm. The two
thieves visited Gillespies store first,
then Shick & Wagner's and it was
at Bing-Stoke Co.'s where they were
detected and arrested. One of the
clerks at the latter place suspected
the women aud just before they left
the store Geo. w. Stoke, one of the
proprietors, returned from dinner and
the clerk told him of his suspicion.
Before they started out Mr. Stoke,
accidenty, on purpose, rubbed up close
enough to one Of the women to brush
her shawl off and the women had a
pair of shoes under each arm. The
other woman had one pair of shoes
under one arm. They were anxious
to pay for the shoes, but Policemen
Adelsperger, was called and he arrested
them When their baskets were ex-
amined the stolen goods from the other
stores we're found. The women
were put in the lookup and the pro-
prietors of the three stores identified
their goods under oath and made in
formation against the women before
Squire Neff
When brought into the 'Squire's
Office the women gave their names
as Mrs. Maria Passavante and Mrs.
Gunseppina Plago, OF Florence, and
said their husbands had gone back to
the old country fifteen days ago. 1t
was discovered that the women would
lie as well as steal as they did not
give their correct names, they reside at
Wishaw instead Of Florence and their
husbands were b)th working at
Wishaw mines Monday.
The shoplifters waived hearing and
being unable to give bail they were
taken to the county Jail Monday even
ing by Constable w. W. Higgins.
One of the .women is the mother
Of five children and the other the
mother OF one child. 1t seemed hard
to send them to Jail, but there is en-
tirely to much shoplifting being done
and the only way to stop it is to punish
the guilty persons. There are others,
beside Italian women, and they will
be caught some OF these days and will
be taken under the strong arm OF law.

PUNXSY GAINS 1000 PEOPLE

The citizens of Punxsutawney are
rejoicing, and they have good reason
to, over the fact that by subscribing
for $60,000 of stock that town is to
give employment to hundreds of men,
increase the annual pay roll from
1926, 200 to S250,000 and will increase
the population Of Punxsutawney at
least 1000 within the next year. 1t
was through the untiring efforts of the
Chamber of Commerce that our neigh
boring town succeeded In securing these
new industries. The Spirit says
"Fuel, shipping facilities and raw
material the drawing card that brought
them"
We have the fuel, shipping facilities,
raw material, fine sites, &c, have
enterprising citizens and If everybody
would fall in line and work harmonious.
ly with the Business Mems Association
there is no reason why Reynoldsville
could not and should not secure one
or two large industries before the snow
flies. True, there seems to be a stag
nation in business and money is not
circulating freely, yet business is GER
tainly improving and we should get
in the procession. Two industries
started at Dubois last week and at
various other places industries are
being started. There is no doubt but
that our silk mill will be in operation
within few weeks, and with a little
effort it is possible to get the steel
plant in operation this year. There
never was a time in the history of
Reynoldsville when there was as much
cash on deposit in our banks as there
is to-day, and that is one of the reasons
that money is scarce. What is true
of Reynoldsville Of bunk deposits is
true of most every other town in the
country.
As stated above, we have an abund-
ance of fuel, raw material, excellent
sites, good railroad facilities, in many
respects have better advantages to
offer industries than any other town
in this section, and II we do not grow
and prosper as we should it is our fault
and not because we do not have good
inducements to offer industries. Action
by the business men in general, is what
we lack. A few hustlers cannot do
the work alone.

felt the game played with such per-
son on the team. Each town will pay

1t is located.
Why not have Reynoldsville team

There is material here for another
good homo team and the town no doubt
would pay the expense of team.

New Ritual For Odd Fellows.

John McMurray, of Brookville, has
issued the following announcement,
which will be of interest to all MEM
bers of the 1. o. o. F.:
During the present month new ritu-
ais for all subordinate lodges under the
jurisdiction Of the Sovereign Grand
Lodge will be distributed by the
various grand secretaries in their re-
spective jurisdictions.
The extent OF this work will be ap-
preciated when it is known that all
told there will be some $4,000 rituals
to distribute in this manner. The new
rituals are much larger and more COM
plete in every way than those now
in use, are spoken OF as being very
fine by Odd Fellows who have seen
them.
There are numerous changes in the
opening and closing Of the lodges and
also affecting the degree work. Some
Of the degree work will be, it is stated,
made decidedly more impressive than
at present. The new rituals develop
the work more comprehensively than
the old ones, giving explicit d.
rections in regard to the manner In
which certain parts Of the work is
to be carried through. This attention
to detail will have the effect Of Inn
proving the manner in which the de-
gree teams perform their duties.

Something About Boys.

There is comfort to boy in the
amount Of work he can get rid OF doing.
It is sometimes astonishing how slow he
can go on an errand; perhaps he could
, MT explain to himself why, when he
Ais sent to the neighbours for yeast, he
stops to stone frogs. He is not exactly
cruel, but he wants to see II he can't
hit em. 1t is curious fact about boys,
that two will be great deal slower
about doing anything than one. Boys
have a power OF helping each other
do nothing. But say what you will
about the general usefulness OF boys,
q farm without boy would soon come
to grief. He is always in demand. In
the first place he is to do all the err
rands, go to the store, postolfice and
Acarry all sorts Of messages. He would
hike to have as many legs as wheel
has spokes, and rotate in the same
way. This he sometimes tries to do,
and people who have seen him turn
ing cart wheels" along the side OF the
road have supposed he was amusing
himself and biding his time. He was
only trying to invent a new mode Of
locomotion, so he could economize his
legs, and do all his errands with great
er dispatch. Leap frog is one Of the
methods for getting over the ground
quickly. he has a natural genius for
combining pleasure with business
