SCARLET FEVER.
A soourse of White Races In All Ages
and Countries.

and Countries.
Now that smallpox, thanks to COM
pulsory vaccination has become rar-
ity In civilized communities, scarlet
fever steps forward as the worst of
the eruptive diseases of childhood.
1t is malady of enormous antiquity.
Thucydides, writing nearly 500 years
before the beginning of our era, called
1t heritage from the remote past.
1t has scourged the white races In all
ages and all countries, and the ply
sicians of all schools have leveled
their heaviest artillery upon 1t. Yet
It remains a puzzle unsolved and an
enemy unconquered even today. We
are in doubt as to its cause, and there
is no drug or antitoxin that will cure
1t. But despite all this the death rate
from scarlet fever is steadily declin-
ing, and we may expect 1t to decline
more and more as the years go by.
the fact that the modern doctor is a
great deal more sparing with pills and
powders than his predecessor and a
great deal more lavish with water, air
and antlsertics. In the old days 1t
was customary to dose scarlet fever
patients with all sorts of violent RENE
dies In staggering quantities, and as a
result many of them died. Today
medicines are but minor auxliaries in
the sickroom, and both doctor and
nurse devote their main energies TO
preventing a spread of the Infection
Delineator.

Losing relates that in 1S4S he met
at Oswego N. Y, Major Cochran, then
nearly eighty years old, a son-in-law
of General Philip Schuyler, who told
the story of his election to congress
during the administration of the elder
Adams. A vessel was to be launched
on one of the lakes In interior New
York, and people came from afar to
see 1t. The young folks gathered
there, determined to have dance at
night. There was fiddle, but no
fiddler. Young Cochran was an anna
teur performer, and his services were
demanded. He gratified the joyous
company, and at the supper table one
of the gentlemen remarked, In com
mendation of his talents, that he was
eft for congress-" The matter was
talked up, and he was nominated and
elected representative in congress
for the district then comprising the
whole Of New York west of Schenec-
tady He always claimed to have
"fiddled himself into congress-"

signing the pledge" is no new thing,
as is proved by researches In Italy.
Interesting particulars Of what would
appear to be the earliest examples of
written pledges to abstain from gam
bling and excessive drinking are given
In the Turin Studi MEDIEVAL by Signor
Girolamo Biscaro, who has discovered
three such documents In the archives
Of Milan. The first of these records is
an oath sworn on the gospels by Gia-
como Pasquali and Armanino Duca
to the effect that for two years they
will abstain from gambling In Pavia
or within three miles thereof and will
likewise refrain from inducing others
to gamble on their behalf. The penal
ty for any breach of this oath is fixed
at 5 soldi, payable to Papio BovatoriO.
In the second document Perano de
Bono promises Uberto de Proto to
abstain from gambling for certain
period, exception being made on be-
half of the game Of bismentiro. ut
which, however, he was not to lose
more than denari on any one day
Further, he undertakes not to visit
any inn for drinking purposes before
the hour of vespers on Monday. A
breach of either clause of the pledge
involves the payment of 8 soldi TO De
Proto. BY the third document SiletO
Ferrario expressed his willingness TO
pay ~ denari to his brother Lamperio
should he be persuaded to play for
money in any place of public resort or
to spend more than 2 denari on intoxi-
cants in any one day.
The motive for these contracts is not
stated, but 1t is presumed that they
were entered into by employees whose
masters wished to keep their proclivi-
ties In check There is nothing in the
documents to suggest the existence of
any organization for the hnotion of
temperance. The honor of being first
in the field In this respect therefore
still rests with Germany, where two
temperance societies were founded In
the sixteenth century.
OF these the Order of st. Christie
pher was formed by Sigismund de
Diettrichstein on Jan. 1S, 1911. and the
Order of Temperance by the landgrave
Of Hesse on Dec. 25, 1900. The mem
bers of the one order were pledged to
abstain from toast drinking, and the
members of the other undertook not
to drink more than seven glasses of
liquor at time, and that not oftener
than twice n day.-Chicago News.

Fern Oil & Gas Co. Has Five
or Six Hundred Acres
Leased.
BUTLER PEOPLE INTERESTED

The Fern Oil & Gas Company, of But
Ter, has leased between five and six hun.
dred acres in Henderson and Winslow
townships-in Paradise Settlement
which this company will thoroughly
test for oil and gas. We have been in
formed that the entire scope OF country
from the Buhite farm, near Sykesville,
Kramer Station, and James London
farm above Big Run, to the Noah Sy-
phrit and Dougherty farms, on the
Reynoldsville side, is embraced in the
territory to be tested. The first drilling
outfit was taken to the Andy Pifer farm
last week. The Fern Oil & Gas Co.
has agreed to pay the farmers Sl.00 per
acre per year while the test for oil and
gas is in progress. The money is to be
paid quarterly, and the first payment
has been made.

Last of Well Known Family Has Expired

The death of Mrs. Elizabeth Pifer,
widow Of the late George Pifer, OF Hen
derson township, who was buried Thurs
day in the German Lutheran church
cemetery, in the Paradise Settlement,
removes the last OF we'll known fam
lily, that OF Jacob Zufall.
Mrs. Pifer, who was aged 70 years,
died Tuesday as the result of a paraly-
tic stroke. In recent years she had
made her home with her son, George
Pifer, who lives on the old homestead.
During the settlement and develop
ment OF the Paradise district no two
families played more important part
than did the Pliers and Zufalls. The
George Pifer home was in the center of
early developments and Mrs. Pifer pre-
sided over it with gracious and mother
ly care. She was one OF those estimable
women whose influence was felt through
out the entire scope of the early settle
ments and whose home in early days
was a haven tor the traveller, and de-
light to both young and old In the
neighbOrhood. She was a lifelong mem
ber of the German Lutheran Church.

Jones' Van Dyck.

People told Jones that his youth was
against him-he looked too young. If
he wanted to rise rapidly In his profes-
sion he would have to grow few hir-

He started Van Dyck. His wife
watched Its growth critically. She
didn't take to lt-said she married a
young man, not professor. The whisk-

more and more like pirate. Wifey

Insisted they were an actual necessity

One morning Jones woke up with his
chin feeling moist and sticky. He
rubbed his hand over his face foliage
and found 1t wet. Then he opened his
eyes and saw his wife standing over
him with a bottle of peroxide In her
hand Filled with alarm, he jumped
out Of bed and over to the mirror. Al
ready the stuff that makes blonds to
order had done Its work. That prime
val growth was red, yellow and maize,

wipe the dust off his razor and remove
the chin weeds.
