POSTAL RULES
ON POST CARDS

half dozen post cards recently
placed on the bulletin board of the
local post office are attracting much
attention and great deal of amuse-
ment by reason of the noudescript and
wholly unintelligible writing. All
were evidently mailed by the same
person because, to quote one of the
clerks, cit is hardly possible that any
two persons exist that could make such
good job of poor writing"
Not one of the cards is guilty of
having either stamp or address. The
portion of the card reserved for the
address as we'll as that reserved for the
correspondence, is covered with the
hieroglyphical writing.
In view of the number of post cards
being mailed daily, many of which
never reach their destination because
of improper mailing, the following
rules furnished by the postal depart
ment relative to the mailing of post
cards will be of interest

ABOUT SELLING
THE Home FARM

So many farmers in middle life are
selling out and retiring that word Of
caution seems necessary. The chief
reasons for this great movement seems
to be a scarcity of suitable farm lab
or, the lack of son who has liking
for agriculture, longing for liveli
er life on the part of the farmer or his
wife, and family or just common lazi-
ness. OF course. there are reasons
which would seem to justify the farm
er in parting with his land, but even
though he may be tired OF milking
COWS, blowing, reaping. sowing, in
short, tired of farming as an occupa-
tion, he should be very careful lest he
make mistake in parting with his
farm to retire or engage in some nero
antile business in his home town, says
Practical Farming. The man who
said that success seldom comes to a
man after middle life if he has faile
at something else gave us some advice
which the would-be retired farmer
should consider. AS matter of fact,
we seldom hear of farmer retiring
who has been successful. He doesn t
want to sell his land is happier ther
than he could be elsewhere; is more
independent and contented than he
could ever hope to be in some city or
town, and as he has been successful,
is looked up to and respected in his
community. Every section of the
country and every samll town can lay
claim to a few financial and agri-
cultural wrecks who have sold their
farms after middle life, expecting to
live lives of ease the remainder OF
their days. This dissipation of the
hard earnings and savings of more
than % years is often a sure road to
the poorhose. To retire needs capital f;
to conduct a mercantile business needs
capital and skill with a satisfied pat
ronage 1t is the sincere hope of The
Morning News that those who are
contemplating this step will read this
article and act upon it's advice. If any
of our readers are dissatisfied with
farm life for any cause it would be
better to give the farm in trust to
some reliable party who Will take
good care of it as long as they live.
Farm values are sure to increase and
farm produce, meats. grains, foodstuffs
and the like must advance with tn
increase in population.

PATIENTS TAUGHT
NOT TO COUGH

The report of the tuberculosis dis
pensary for the month ending August
goth shows that there are twelve patti
ents receiving treatment, the largest
number yet enrolled. Aided by the
painstaking and detailed reports sent
in by Dr. Stock, chief Of the dispens-
ary, DR.. Dixon is closely in touch
with the work, which is now moving
on with a momentum that assures the
Accomplishment of much good.
Two new patients have been added
during the month. OF the entire num-
ber receiving treatment only eight are
in active attendance at the dispensary.
Others are bedridden. One Of the patti
ents is mere child.
Miss Geddes. the trained nurse, made
thirty-two visits during the last
month. She is grstified with the sp.
probation shown by the patients Of
what she is able to do for them in the
capacity of nurse, which, OF course, is
a part of the free treatment given by
the State AS general thing the rigid
rules laid down by DR.. Dixon for OBJ
servance are followed implicitly by
the patients and the families in which
he latter reside.
During the last month six patients
showed combined gain Of ia pounds
one patient gaining as much as Az
pounds. One patient, the worst case
under treatment at the dispensary,
showed slight loss in weight. In
one, the weight remained stationary.
During the month orders were issued
for ~ dozen eggs and 1876 quarts of
milk.
The dispensary gives out or prescri
bes very little medicine. The treat
ment rather consists of the application
of rules and regulations to prevent re-
infection on the part of the patient.
During the past month the dispensary
has been supplied with some medicine
which, however, is TO be used only in
case of necessity where intervening
symptoms complioate
A feature OF the treatment is to
bring patients to the point where they
are able to resist the inclination to
cough incessantly, which is regarded
largely as a matter of habit and which
tends to aggravate the disease. The
success of the treatment along that
line is we'll demonstrated, as several
patients, according to their own state
ments. cough but little more than half
as much as formerly.
The physician and the nurse con-
nected with tho Iispensary following
the personal directions of DR.. Dixon,
lay especial emphasis upon the matter
of promisouous splitting by tuberculos-
is patients, while travelling in rail
way or trolley cars or while upon the
streets. No pains are spared to i'm
press upon the patient that this prao.
tice is not only disgusting, but that
1t is dangerous to the health and lives
OF Others.

ALL VOTERS
SHOULD REGISTER

Wednesday. September 2nd, is the
last day on which you can register in
order to be eligible to vote at the COM
ing November election.
This registration is not the personal
registration applicable to third. .oIass
cities, but it is the general require
ment and applies to every voter in
Montour county. These registry lists
are the ones made up by the assessors
and are posted by them at the polling
places of their respective election dis
tricts.
Make personal examination of your
district list, and .be sure that your
name is upon tiff it is not see to 1t
at once that the assessor places the
name thereon, else your vote may be
lost. Young men who voted on age
last fall must be registered or they
cannot vote under any circumstances
Others who have paid a state or coun-
ty tax within two years may be able
to swear in their votes, if they are not
upon the registry, but the voter who
cast his first ballot in 1907 has no pos.
sible chance to do this. He is not up
on any duplicate, has no tax assessed
against him, and consequently cannot
qualify to having paid tax. as is
necessary where voters are left off the
registry. By failing to register he
practically and effectually disfranoh-
ises himself
