Here's TO The Farmer.

How far VIII you have to run
your ancestry back before you
find your forbears working early
and late IN the woods, chopplng,
grubblng, and clearing up the
ground that became the home
stead in which your father or
mother was reared?
1t isn't very far from the native
born American, aud he should be
proud of the fact since the best
men of America have come from
American farms, or from near
by.
You have only to go back a
little beyond The scope of your
memory, perhaps, to discover
that the Ame.ic IN gentleman
was an American farmer George
Washington, Thomas Jefferson,
Patrick Henry and a large ma
jority of those who led in the es.
tabllshment of the nation were
farmers.
And, if you read history you
can hardly help knowing that
from the very beginning the men
who made, and who did most to
sustain the nation, were farmers,
and that those who now consti-
trte its most dependable support
are farmers.
All this every American citizen
knows, or should know, and APP
preciate, for ju' as the farmer Is
appreciated so will the country
prosper, Village Record.

Harrisburg, Jan. 26:-M Measles

ber alone, there we're reported to
the State Department of Health
2307 cases OF this disease which
annually kills about two and one
half times more children than

"How to make the public APP

observe precautions to prevent
the spread of the disease is about
the hardest problem IN educe

Com missioner Dixon today. He
added
"A scarlet fever case IN a
nelghborhood seems to strike
terror to every mothers heart.
If quarantine regulations are
broken by the mem bers of the
infected household our health
officers receive i'm mediate com.
plants from other parents IN the
vicinity who are fearful that the
disease may be transmitted to
their own Little ones. This is
natural and right for scarlet few
er is dangerous disease but if
we could only get mothers to be
equally concerned IN keeping
their children from the infection
of measles, we mighC save many
a home from the sorrow of an in
fant grave.

carelessly exposed to the disease,
escapes death too often terrible

seriously impaired hearing,

not possible that mothers will
wake up to these real dangers In

lifelong sorrow and regret is the
penalty of their carelessness?"
The seven hundred and fifty
township health officers of the
State Department of Health
when notified of a case of measles
in their district post on the In
fected premises placard stating
that "all persons are notified of
the presence of measles and are
warned of the danger of visiting
or coming in contact with the
occupants of his house" The
health officer also leaves at the
house a circular containing ex.
pliclt instructions for managing
the disease and preventing tie

WHEN TO WIND A WATCH.
The Morning, Not the Evening, the Best
Time, the Matchmaker Saws.

"Most people, " said the watch
maker, wind their watches at
night; but it would be better to
wind them IN the morning. You
see, we are liable to go to bed at
different hours, and so wind our
watch at irregular intervals; and
1T Is better to wind 1t regularly.
Then we are more liable to forget
to wind our watch at night than
IN the morning, and so n ay let 1T
run down. But we are pretty
sure to get up in the morning at
our regular hour, whatever the
hour at which we went to bed,
and so by winding it then we may
insure regularity of winding; and
the watch is brought to mind
then, when we put it on for use,
and we are less likely to forget to
wind it. So morning Is the best
tune to wind watch, if you can
get yourself into the habit of
winding it then.

Eczema Is Now Durable.

A st. Louis chemist, after many
years of careful experimenting and
Investigation, has discovered simple
remedy that has cured hundreds of
cases of eczema that had been pro-
nounced incurable. This chemist be-
lieved that eczema and all itching
skin diseases were of local origin
and were caused by germs which at
tackled and fed on the skin. He be-
gan to search for remedy that
would destroy these germs, and
found that by combining the active
principles of certain well known vege-
table drugs, and applying them local
ly, the first application stopped the
itching and burning. and II used per-
sistently would drive all germs and
their poisons to the surface of the
skin and destroy them, leaving a
nice, clear, healthy skin. He gave
this remarkable remedy the sugges-
tive name of ZemO, and since its in
PRODUCTION to the public Zemo has
proved a very popular remedy and
is today recognized the most success
full and meritorious remedy ever pro-
duced for the relief and cure Of &C.
zema and all diseases of the skin and
scalp.
Mr.. viii j. Gilbert, the druggist.
endorses and recommends ZemO and
says that he believes ZemO to be an
honest medicine and will do all that
