New Ritual for Eagles.

With the beginning OF the year 1909,
the new ritual OF the Fraternal Order
OF Eagles will go into effect. This will
be the first change that has been mace
since the first aerie was formed In Seat
tie, Wash, over ten years ago, and Is
said to be decided Improvement over
the old, which members OF the order
have long admitted to be a masterpiece.
However, 1t is said the new one about
to be issued will exceed by far that Of
the first, which was the work OF men
still living, who helped to revise and
produce the new ritual. At the Grand
Aerie session held in Seattle In August,
1t was decided to hold the memorial
services either in the month OF January,
February or March, instead of during
the month OF May, as has been the GUS
tom.

Joint Meeting OF
Medical Societies
Many Pertinent Topics Dis
cussed at Dubois Last
Friday.

Several Reynoldsville physicians at
tended the joint meeting of the Jeffer-
son, Clearfield and Elk county medical
societies In Dubois last Friday after
noon. Some interesting topics were
discussed. DIR. Ball, OF Warren, and
DR.. Theodore Killer, Of Pittsburgh,
members OF the legislative committee
OF the State Association, we're present.
Killer spoke at length on the subject
of establishing hospital for the treat
ment OF inebriates. At the present
time an inebriate can be sent for one
year to an insane asylum for treatment,
but 1t is the aim of the medical profess
sion to get a bill passed establishing a
regular institution for their treatment.
Another matter that was discussed is
the establishment of a new medical
board. At present The different
branches OF the medical PROGRESSION have
boards, but 1t is planned to have one
board composed of members from all
OF the branches and have candidates
take but one examination. Another
piece of legislation that will be looked
after is the securing of new practice
act, whereby doctor can be prevented
from practicing because Of drunken
ness, cocaine habit and criminal alb
ortion.

SwindIers Trying
To Mhct Farmers
Falsely Represent Themselves
Agents of State Livestock
Board.

The State Livestock Sanitary Board
has issued warning to farmers to be-
ware of men pretending to be agents Of
the state charging for examination Of
cattle under pretense of searching for
foot and mouth disease. They are also
warned that the state has sanctioned
no reduction Of price for calves because
OF the presence of the disease.
In York county farmers were victim
lied by sharpers buying calves, claim
ing an official recommendation had been
issued that 81 be deducted from prices
because Of prevalence of disease. DR..
Pearson's Office stated that no agents
of the state or government are allowed
to ask or receive fees and that no regu-
'lations as to price has been even con-
templated.

Effect of Tobacco
On School Students
A City Superintendent B1ames
Failure Of Students on Its
Influence.

City Superintendent w. II. Sprenkle
has been giving much attention and in
vestigation to the use of tobacco among
the pupils of our city schools, and makes
the startling declaration that boys fail
ing to sustain themselves in their
grades or to win promotion, have been,
and are, addicted to the use of tobacco
in some form. Every boy, he says, from
the fifth grade up, who has failed to be
promoted or has had to repeat his
grade, that is, who has had to remain
In the same grade more than one year,
has been user of tobacco; every boy
denoted has been user OF tobacco and
the superintendent does not recall a
single exception among the boys Of the
high school who are not doing we'll but
who is user OF tobacco. How can this
growing evil condition of affairs be
stopped. Should Superintendent Spren-
kle instruct his teachers to keep out OF
school all boys polluted with tobacco,
personal liberty" would be the howl
right away. Teachers really have no
right to endure such unpleasant and
nauseating conditions, and yet would
it be safe to join in a protest against
them to parents and the public? Doc.
tors, directors, business men and above
all the public should be aroused to eff
fective action on this subject and steps
should be taken tocorrect this growing,
destructive evil which is sapping the
energy Of the minds OF the young and
crlppling them for life, insofar as the
measure OF future usefulness is con.
cerned, at least.-Clearfeld Public
Spirit.
Clearfield is not the only town where
school boys use tobacco. There are
others.

BRICK BUILDINGS

-FOUR NEW BLOCKS PLANNED

The fire on Main street on the night
OF December 9th, which destroyed from
1926, 900 % 100000 worth of property,
with small amount of insurance, was
a heavy loss to seven or eight individu-
ais, for whom every body was sorry, yet
the fire will result in a decided i'm
provement in the appearance OF Main

property owners to erect brick build
ings to take place OF the frame struc-
lures licked up In the conhagration
eighteen days ago. We understand the
work will be started as early as possible
in the spring and that Green & Conser,

M. Fisher will all build, making solid
brick block from Imperial Hotel to
Priester's furniture store,. which was
formerly frame buildings and some
OF them looked very much out of place
on our Main street. The individuals
lost heavily by this fire, but as has
been the case In several other large
fires in our town, it will mean big
improvement in the appearance oil
Main street when the burned district
is covered with new brick buildings.
Therefore, few individuals lose and
the town gains additional handsome
