SERIOUS OUTBREAK
In LYCOMING

A new outbreak of the foot and
mouth disease has occurred in the ex.
treme southern part of Lyooming coun-
ty, among the herd of Foresman Bro
thers, OF Alvira. The Foresmans are
large cattle dealers and the outbreak
OF the disease among their stock has
caused much excitement in that viein-
ity among the farmers and dairymen
OF both Lycoming and Union coun
ties. Their farm has been quarantin-
ed and is now in charge of State and
federal inspectors, several of whom
went there yesterday Immediately up
on receiving notice of evidences of the
disease among the herd

Mr. Foresman said yesterday that
his cattle had been quarantined and
that inspectors were there, but said
tho disease hadsnot been fully dag
nosed yet, although it had much the
appearance Of sphthous fever. He has

YOUNG Skaters
NARROW escape

But for the timely presence and
heroic efforts of Tarring Seidel, Aug
ustus carp, ten-year-old boy of
Gulick's addition, would have lost his
life by drowning while skating on the
canal near the Brake Beam works on
Tuesday afternoon.
AS is we'll known the water in the
canal at that point is damned up so
that it's depth is quite considerable.
The water is covered W ith very thin
ice.
On Tuesday Master carp. with sew
eral other little fellows, was skating
on the canal and broke through. His
companions were too much frightened
to act intelligently and while they
were looking on he sank out of sight
Tarring Seidel, who was at some
distance, was attracted by the noise
and hurried to the spot. He arrived
just in time to see the boys head re-
appear above the water. He tried to
get hold of the boys hair, but did not
succeed and the lad sank for the sec
ond time.
Mr.. Seidel waited until the boy
came up again, when he succeeded i'll
getting a good hold of him. The drown
ing boy, however, in his desire tn be
saved, clutched his rescuer in such a
way as to cause him to lose his bal
ance and tumble into the canal. As
the boy sank for the third time he
dragged Mr.. Seidel along down.
For awhile it looked as though both
might drown but the young man at.
tempting the rescue was equal to the
emergency and after desperate strug.
gle he succeeded in crawling out Oh
the bank dragging the boy with him.

One Whit of Pure Prussie Acid Is
Sufficient to Kill.
The discoverer of prussic acid was
instantly killed by inhaling one Whit
of his own handiwork.
Pure prussic acid is never sold or
handled. The smell of 1t is always
fatal. 1t kills not in three minutes or
half an hour, but the instant 1t enters
the lungs as gas. The mixture or
dinarily sold as prussic acid is 9S parts
water to two parts of the drug. Even
in this form 1t is very deadly. A 20
per cent mixture of the acid would kill
nearly as quickly as If pure.
Atropine, though it has no harmful
odor. is so deadly that as much OF 1t as
would adhere to the end of a moistened
forefingcr would instantly cause death
Cyanide of potassium has a pleasant
smell which is not injurious, but Il
small quantity swallowed kills at once
Pure ammonia If inhaled would
cause death almost as quickly as prus
sic acid.
When a carboy of nitric acid is bro.
ken some one has to suffer. 1t will
burn wood, eat through iron plates and
destroy whatever it touches. Such ar
accident once happened in an acid fac
tory. Every one ran away, leaving
the acid to amuse itself by setting
fire to things. Soon it was seen tina;
the building would be destroyed and
hundreds of people thrown out OF
work, and four men volunteered to pu
out the fire In the acid room. They
succeeded and came out all right. Five

KISSES ABOUND
IN DEADLY GERMS
Kissing ia dangerous and a menace.

Kissing is dangerous and menace.
Iu the paternal kiss, in the cousiniS
kiss, in the "bsst girl kiss ana ID
the woman to woman kiss, germs
abound, practically all INFECTIOUS dls-

in some this is the most prolific cause
of infection. Kissing the cheek may
not be satisfactory. but 1t is safe.
Look out for the strsngerskiss or you
may be sorry.
These danger signals on kissing have
been flashed in an editorial by DR.. ).
V, Shoemaker, Of Philadelphia, in the
"Monthly Cyclopedia and Medical
Bulletin"
DR., Shoemaker, who wrote the artl-
Gle in question, gives his motives as
follows;
AFTER seeing whole family wiped
ont by a loathsome disease contracted
by kissing, l resolved to do what lit
tie lay in my power to protest against
this needless exposure that threatens US
all Next to tiIe in1iscriminate klss-
ing of persons the kissing of pet amin
ais is almost as dangerous. Although
il is nos generally known, oil pet
animals Can have most human infec-
tious diseases, and these maladies can
and are transmitted from tho animal
TO the owner or the owners friends
through kissing.
Typhoid faver can be transmitted
through the mouth. and ! had a case
not long ago that proved it. In stud
ents' boarding house in West Philadel-
phia an epidemic OF typhoid fever ap'
peared which in short time put %
students on the sick list. The water
was all right. so ! tried the milk.
This is what I discovered. On the
farm where the milking was done one
of the hands had walking typhoid.
The milk was siphoned into BEETLES,
and this man would start the flow by
sucking On the pipe. After he had
done this took a bottle, carefully
wrapped it up and carried it hoane fol
examination. found typhoid germs
present N great quantities. ="
In the editorial in the Medical Bull
ietin Dr Shoemaker referred to
number of instances where kissing
was the means Of transmitting disease.

young Russian officer wished to be
transferred to another regiment and
took his request In person to one of

That powerful officer shook his head
and declared the matter very difficult
to arrange-almost impossible. Then
his glance fell suddenly upon the shoes
of the lieutenant. To the amazement
of his visitor. the senior officer said
that the lieutenant's shoes were not
nearly good enough for an officer and
that he would strongly advise him to
buy new shoes of a shoemaker whose
address he gave. Then, telling his vis-

enough to realize that he could not re-
turn without the new shoes. 80 he hur-
ried to the shoemaker. On hearing
who had sent him the shoemaker said
that the lieutenant could have the
shoes in five days for the sum of $3.50.
Much astonished, the officer went to a
comrade for advice. He was told to
pay half OF this sum at once and the
rest when his shoes were finished.
This the officer did, and wearing his
new boots, he duly kept his appoint

tended by pupils from the infected
family to be dismissed at once.
In short time Borough Superin-

ordered the rooms thoroughly disin-

yesterday afternoon and during last
