DEATH IN SCHOOL DRINGING

The greatest achievement of science
IN the opening decade of the twentieth
century is the awakening of the peo-
PIE TO the fact that most human dis
eases are preventable and large pro-
portion of early deaths avoidable. At
10000 Of the million and half deaths
occurring annually in the United States
result form the minute parasitic plants
ana animals gaining access to the body.

duclng bacteria in the mouth; 2, the

of them became ILL.,
A cup which had been in use nine
days In school was a clear thin glass.

be placed anywhere without touching
several of these bits of skin. The saliva
by running down on the inside of the
glass had carried cells and bacteria to
the bottom. Here. however, they were
less than one-third as abndant as at
the brim.
By counting the cells present only so
different areas on the glass as seen
under the microscope. it was estimated
that the cup contained over 10000 hui
man cells or bits of dead skin. AS
many as $50 germs were seen clinging
to a single cell, and very few cells
showed less than ten germs. Between
the cells were thousands of germs left
there by the smears of saliva deposited
by the drinkers. Not less than hun

on every square inch of the glass;

FRON OTHER PENS
ON BEING HOMELY.

It is all very well for a man an
handsome as was Lord Byron to talk
pathetically about 1.-The fatal gift Of
beauty" but we fancy that nearly ev-
cry man, and certainly all women.
would be willing to run the risk of
that fatality could they be given the
choice, and take beauty rather than
the very safe gift of ugliness. If all
that has ever been said or sung in
praise of beauty were collected to-
gether. no library would be large
enough to contain the volumes; but
what poet has ever been brave to
fchant a lay in praise of ugliness? And
yet it is happy provision of nature
that when one is really ugly he Is sell
dom conscious of the fact, or else his
personal appearance is so atoned for
by charms of manner and the gift of
intellect that he rarely appreciates its
extent, and he makes others forget
it, too.
Indeed, 1t is a question if it be not
rather unfortunate for a young man
to be too richly endowed with good
looks, since 1t Is not really required of
him, and is liable to make him con-
ceited and not worth much in the bat
tie of life. The fatal gift is more to
show its fatality with men than wo-
men, perhaps because the latter ac-
cept it as their rightful heritage
though sometimes cheated out of it.
1t seems strange that cruel time
should take such delight in marring
pretty faces with his defacing lines
and wrinkles, while ugly ones go COM
| paratively free: nor is it uncommon to
| see a face which has been almost re-
pulsive in it's ugliness in youth soften
| and become pleasing with advancing
years. Then. too, the action of the
mind has a wonderful effect In chang
| ing for the better face naturally un-
pleasing, and many countenance
| which has been rough-hewn by nature
grows by the indwe1ling of noble and
| loving thoughts into beauty far
more impressive than that bestowed
| by the witchery of youth alone

FOR PRESIDENTIAL, CONSIDERA-
TTCN.

Some of the questions put 70 Presi
dent Roosevelt by the Democratic
candidate for vice president are so
apt that they can hardly fail to pro-.
of party controversy. For example:
Where was his virtuous indignation
when Promoter Sheldon, by whose
Trust manipulations many an honest
man lost his investments, was made
treasurer of the Republican National
Committee? Was his wrath sup
pressed by the consideration that
Sheldon would be most useful in ex-
torting campaign contributions in
secrecy and silence from "malefac-
tors Of great wealth." Was he
shocked by the selection for member
ship of the Republican Executive
Committee of Charles F. Brooks, vice
president of the New York, New Ha-
ven and Hartford Railroad Company,
one of the corporations now under
prosecution for violating the laws?
Did he raise any objections when Du-
Pont, head of the Powder Trust, was
appropriately made chairman of the
bureau in Chicago to select Re-
publican campaign orators and pay
them in proportion to the nature and
character of the service?
These are samples of the questions
of Mr.. Kern to the occupant of the
White House and chief manager of
the Taft campaign When they are
satisfactorily answered others will
doubtless be propoInded to him in
the course of the campaign. Since he

Why Colds are Dangerous.

Because you have contracted or
binary colds and recovered from them
without treatment of any kind, do
not for IA moment imagine that colds
are not dangerous Every one knows
that pneumonia and chonic catarrh
have their origin in common cold.
Consumption is not caused by cold
but the cold prepares the system for
the reception and development of
the germs that would not otherwise
have found Judgment. 1t is the same
with all infectious diseases. Dlph-
iberia, scarlet fever, measles and
whooping cough are much more like
ly to be contracted when the child
has cold. You will see from this
that more real danger turks in a
cold than in any other of the COM
mon ailments. The easiest and quick
est way to cure cold is to take
Chamberlain Cough Remedy. The
many remarkable cures effected by
this preparation have made it staple
article of trade over a large part of
the world. For sale by Evans Drug

FOOTBALL RULES
NEED few CHANGES
Best College Coaches Think
Game is Good Enough
Now

That there will be few changes In the
football rules for next season is tho
opinion of many of the country's best
and most noted coaches. 1t is thoughI
that the intercollegiate rules COMMITTEES
at its nesting will act on a number or
minor changes which will probably tena
to make the game a little more open
but radical alterations are not expected
to develop. One point, however. which
will be consi lered. concerns a try at
goal from the field when the ball crosses
the goal line ON the fly. but misses ths
goal It is thought there should be
some compensation for team that gets
close enough to its opponents' goal to
try 10 place a drop kick, even If il is
missed
Some coaches claim a team should
be credicte1 with one point when the
oval crossed the goal line on the fly.
Others argue that the defending team
should be comuelled TO kick the bah
out from the 10-yard line instead OF
from the 25-yard line, as at present.
This point furnishes plenty of food
for thought. 1t hardly seems fair To
the attacking team after working the
ball down close to the goal. that whet
an attempted field goal fails, IL can
regain possession Of the ball only in
mdfield at best. and again has to try
TO work it down TO the goal line. The
point undoubtedly will be brought uD
at the next meeting. and some action
is liable TO be taken upon 1t.
Another point about which there Will
be considerable discussion is the rela.
tive value of the drop and the placs
kick. Many are Of the opinion that Il
goal from a place kick being easier
to execute than a drop kick. should
be reduced TO three points. and the drop
kick goal left the way it now is. There
are arguments on both sides of this
question The strongest one In favor
Of those who claim that the value cr
the place kick should not be changed
is that in attending the goal. the de-
fense is weakened. as three men are IN
volved in the play. while in the drop
kick only two are required.
Those who favor the drop kick being
of created value than the place argue
that it is harder to execute success
fully and should count more than tho
place kick in the scoring. However,
II is hardly likely that the value or
either kick will be changed this sea-
son. but if the field goal became TOO
common in the future their value will
be lessened. particularly the placo
kick

HECKERT TALKS
OF THE TRI-STATE
Says Wilmington is Likely to
Drop Out Because Of
Ground Question

YORK Pa, Dec. manager George
W. Heckert. of the Harrisburg Tristate
baseball team. says that the prospects
for York Tri-state team this season are
bright It is his opinion that the VIII
mington team OF the Tri-state will be
unable to obtain grounds and for this rea-
son viii drop out Of the organization. Tkis
will give York a chance to enter.
According to Mr. Heckert, a Tri-Siate
baseball team in this city next season
would pay, since conditions are now
different from what they were two years
ago, when the local team had to dis
band because Of financial embarrass-
ment
Since that time there have been many
changes in the Tri-State, the salary limit
being at a lower figure and the guar
antee that must be paid to visiting clubs
is $40 a game less.
Manager Heckert has already signed
seven men for the capital city team. He
IS about to close negotiations for Swa-
Gina, who played first base for Pittsburg
last year in the early part OF the season.
and later for Louisville. Swaclna was
one Of the heaviest sluggers I'm the league.
The Harrisburg manager says that he
will likely lose Huelsman, the heavy
hitting outfelder of last season. This
player led the Tri-State League in bat
ting, but has been drafted by Connie"
Mack, who it is said, viii use him next
year
Unless the Chicago Nationals draft
John Weimer within the next ten days,
he viii likely wear a Harrisburg uniform
during the coming season. Several weeks
ago the National Commission gave Wei
mer 20 HeclSert. but allowed President
Murphy ten days within which to draft
him.
Weimer had been drafted from the New
Castle team by the Chicago Nationals.
but at this time he belonged to the Har-
risburg manager, and It was here that
Chicago made its mistake having drafted
him from the wrong team
While on a visit recently 20 New York.
