LOOKING FOR A NEW SENATOR.

The Philadelphia newspapers are
casting about for a man to take the
place of Senator Penrose, that is,
OF course, provided he loses his job
when next he comes before the leg
islature for reelection. Several
men prominent in this section have
been mentioned for the honor.
The Philadelphia Reeord believes
that ex Senator Simon p. Wolver-
ton, or Hon. Grant Herring would
fill the ticket admirably, while the
NorM american believes James
Scarlet or Congressman Benjamin
K. Focht, of Lewisburg, would
render this State distinguished SER
vice i'll the senate.
The Record also names in the list
OF men whom it deems fully COM
petent to fill the position. Hon
John G. McHenry and Hon. w.

DR.. Dixon's Views.
Point on Which Patrons and School Author
lilies Often Differ.

The school authorities this year
find themselves confronted with the
same difficulty in getting the peo-
pie to fully understand the provis-
ions of the school law relating to
diptheria and other contagious dis
eases that has embarrassed them
year after year in the past.
In many cases it appears that
when diphtheria breaks out in the
family the children that are not i'll
are hustled off to another house
say, the residence of grandparents
or OF other relatives, the impression
being that living, as they then do,
apart from the infected household
they will be permitted to attend
school.
The patron is probably aware of
the provision of the school law,
which requires the authorities to
exclude child exposed to diphthe-
ria or other contagious disease from
school for thirty days after recov-
cry OF the person last afflicted i'll
the household. The law specifically
states that no child belonging to or
residing with the family of any per-
son or residing in the same house
III which any person may be located
who is suffering from diphtheria,
scarlet fever, diphtheretic Group,
membraneous Group, &C., shall be
permitted to attend any public, pri-
vate, parochial, Sunday or other
school and all school principals.
Sunday school superintendents or
other persons i'll charge of such
schools are required to exclude any
and all such children from sald
schools, such exclusion to continue
for period of thirty days follow
ing the discharge by recovery or
death Of the person last afflicted in
said house or family and the thor
ough disinfection of the premises.
While the above section of the |
law seems explicit enough it does
seem to leave SOME misunderstand-
ing in the minds of a few people |
whether child removed from the
parental home on the outbreak of |
communicable disease and kept aloof |
from the infected household may
not be permitted to attend school. |
That no mistake might be made
in interpreting the law in this rela.
tion last year the question involved
was submitted to State Health Gem
missioner DR.. Dixon, who in reply |
settled the disputed point for all
time.
DR.. Dixon made it clear that a
child exposed to contagion by liv-
ing in family in which case of
or other disease develops,
even though removed to another
household free from infection, I'M
der the law cannot be permitted to
attend school until the expiration
of thirty days after the child has
been removed.

Bogus Breakfast Foods.
Thirteen Samples We're Found TO be Mis-
branded.

DR.. William Frear, of Pennsylva.
MIA State College, was at Harris
burg, Saturday, in conference with
Dairy and Food Commissioner Foust
with reference to reports of exami-
nations made by him upon sixty
two different brands of breakfast
foods.
1t was decided to institute pro-
ceedings in the case of five different
brands bought in Berks, three in
Blair, two in Luzerne, one each in
Dauphin, Columbia and Erie coun-
ties, making a total of thirteen
cases. Action in these cases is taken
because of the violation of the Act
OF June /, 1907, on misbrandng,
which reads: "If the package con-
tanning it, or its label, shall bear
any statement, design or devise, re-
garding the ingredients or the sub.
stances contained therein, which
statement, design or devise shall be
false or misleading in any particu-
lar"
Notice will be served in due form
upon the dealers from whom these
breakfast foods were purchased. If
they possess proper guarantees from
guarantors, residents in Pennsylva-
mia. the latter will be proceeded
against, and if the guarantors are
residents in other States of the
Union information concerning the
facts in the case will be filed with
the United States Department OF
Agriculture for action under the
national food act.
In some of the samples condemn
ed the articles were misbranded by
extremely misleading claims, such
as the contents OF the package
which weighed few ounces, were
equal in food value to FIVE pounds
of beef, or a number of loaves OF
bread; that the starch in these
foods had been thoroughly convert.
ed into soluble sugar, whereas, in
point of fact, most of it had not
been so converted; that all the in.
digestible portions of the food had
been removed, when in fact all, OF
nearly all, of the bran still remain
ed therein; that the foods were su
perior as brain and nerve foods tc
all others, when in point of fac
they contained virtually what i.
present in graham bread.

The Defenseless Position of the Re
publican Party.

The Republican national plat
form adopted at Chicago June %
1904, celebrates the beneficial effec'
OF Republican policies upon bust
ness in a tone the boastfulness OF
which now reads like bitter irony
We then (1S97) found the
country, after four years of Demo.
cratic rule, in evil plight, oppressed
with misfortune and doubtful OF
future. Labor was I'M
employed, business was sunk in the
depression which had succeeded
the panic of 1898, hope was faint
and confidence has gone.
Confidence returned to business,
and with confidence all unexampled
prosperity.
The confidence has been all but
wrecked and the unexampled pros
perity has been halted by one in
sistent and perpetual voice. The
Rough Bider has ridden down busi-
ness. What William Mckinley
built up his successor has torn
down.
1--WE have every right" the Re
publicans said in 1904, ''to con-
gratulate ourselves upon the work
since then (rS97) accomplished"
Can they congratulate themselves
upon the disaster spread over the
United States by Theodore Roose-
velt?
How will the Republican party,
so long the spoiled child of good
fortune, take up its new role of
for the calamities begotten
of an inaptitude and a blindness
hitherto supposed to be peculiarly
Democratic ?-Meao York Sun, REP.

until its surplus shall equal its cap
ital. If a guaranteed bank sustains
losses to an amount equal to its
surplus the Comptroller shall cause
the deficiency to be supplied, tax
ing the note of the bank, bearing
six per cent interest and such Sc
curities as the banks files affords,
and the note shall be paid out of
the first net earnings of the bank
The fund from which the Comp
troller draws for this purpose is OBJ.
tanned by tax of one-ffth of che
per cent. of the capital of the bank.
When a National or State bank
receives assistance from the gov
ernment the Secretary of the Treas
ury shall place government bank
expert in charge of the affairs of
the bank. The interest on the
notes given by the banks to the
Comptroller goes to the insurance
fund. Section forty-one of the Act
of 1864 which provides for a tax on
the circulation of National banks is
repealed as is also section thirteen
of the Act of 1900 of similar i'm
port. The act of 1864 provided for
tax OF one-half of one per cent.
upon the average amount of its
notes outstanding and the same
amount each on its deposits and
capital stock. The tax of one fifth
of one per cent. provided in this
bill will serve the purposes of all
the taxation of National banks TN
der previous laws and provide an
ample insurance fund to relieve
temporarily embarrassed banks.
Mr.. McHenry's other bill is ito
provide currency to meet conditions
of financial panic and commercial
and crop moving emergencies" 1t
provides for the issue of Treasury
notes to the limit of one thousand
million dollars. These notes are to
be distributed among national, state
and saving banks and trust compa-
nies in equal ratio to their capital
to the amount of sixty per cent. of
the total issue, the forty per cent.
to remain in the treasury as an
emergency fund. The banks shall
give as security first lien collateral
note and other property approved
by the Secretary of the Treasury OF
market value in excess of the
amount of currency drawn to the
extent of thirty per cent. and no
bank will be permitted to draw
more than an amount of these notes
to equal sixty per cent. of its capi-
tai stock aud surplus. For the use
of this currency the government
shall charge an interest rate of two
per cent. per annum for the first
eight months and two per cent. a
month for each succeeding month
thereafter.
Both these measures are in the
hands of the House Committee on
Banking and Currency where they
are receiving the most earnest con-
sideration. They are reckoned as
among the most carefully thought
out measures which have been in
troduced on the subject and it is
safe to say that if any measure
framed by a Democrat had chance,
one or both of them would be en-
acted. G.. d. H.
