Do You Open Your Mouth

Like young bird and gulp down what
ever food or medicine may be offered you
Or, do you want to know something Of the
composition and character OF that which
you take into your stomach whether as
food or medicine?
Most intelligent and sensible people
nowadays insist on knowing what they
employ whether as food or as medicine.
DR.. Pierce believes they have a perfect
right to insist upon such knowledge. So he

PART OF HIS
BRAIN OOZED OUT

A most remarkable case is that Of
John Dietrich, the employe of David
Foust, OH the Baldy farm in Lime
stone township, who was injured Sun
day evening when horse stepped on
his head.
When Dietrich was found he was lg-
ing between the animals front legs
and the .manger and was unconscious.
Later when the physicians arrived it
was discovered that the whole right
side of his head had been crushed and
the brain substance was oozing out.
1t was the wonder of the doctors
that the man was still living, and they
gave out but slight hope that he would
survive throughout the night. Yester-
day morning, however. he seemed to
have rallied somewhat and even ap-
peared to understand questions that
were addressed to him and would mum
BILE reply.
1t was decided Monday morning to
remove the man TO bD6 W llIlAI0spOrt
hospital. Monday afternoon. at that
institution. an operation was perform
ed and several pieces of bone were re-
moved.
Word from the hospital Monday eve
was to the effect that while Dietrich S
condition was very slightly improved,
they would extend no hopes for his
recovery. They said it was problem
with the hospital physicians how he
has survived the injury at all, as some
of the brain substance had been lost
and the brain itself was injured.
The theory of the accident now is
that Dietrich was elm bing over the
manger when he fell in front of the
horse, frightening the animal, which
stepped on his head before he could
arise. One heel of the shoe took effect
at the right cheek bone, the Other
back of the ear and the toe of the shoe
came over the ear. The horse weighs
about 400 pounds.

Death 70 Flies, Now the Slogan.


"Death to flies" is the slogan of
boards Of health in many of the larger
cities and States. In many places com
mittees are now at work and it is
hoped that by taking vigorous preveu-
tive measures early in the season that
the heavy mortality from typhoid and
other intestinal diseases due to the
filth devouring, germ carrying habits
of the fly may be materially diminish
ed. In New York City alone the ex-
perts of the Merchants association
charge 1850 deaths from these diseases
to the common house fly.
From now on the energies Of this
associations committee will be direct.
ed to the correction of conditions
which make it possible for flies to
multiply. Its inspectors regular and
volunteer, will report before the hot
weather sets in all the hiding places
Of filth which are favorable to the
breeding flies.
"Of course, the danger to health is
greatest, says Edward Hatch, Jr.. a
member of the New York merchants
association, ''in all parts of the city
where sanitary precautions are most
neglected, But even il you live in a
comparatively we'll cared for part of
town, ssdon't receive the fly into your
home as harmless visitor, for he may
come in a carriage or on horseback
from the filthiest part of the river
front. All places in which filth may
accumulate and flies breed should be
carefully cleansed now and kept clean.
Large sums of money are spent every
year on screens, fly traps, fly poison
and fly paper, most of which would
really be better spent on labor to keep
streets, stables and houses clean and
on simple disinfectants where absolute
cleanliness is impossible. -

EXCURSIONIST
CAME TO GRIEF

Among the hundreds of excursionists
who wended their way to Shamokin
on Tuesday to attend the great con-
vention OF Odd Fellows, there was at
least one whose desire to see the gath
ering was greater than his means to
pay his way, with the result that he
spent the night in the lookup at Sun
bury and will spend the next twenty
days in the Northumberland county
prison.
Fred Stutzman is a resident of Will
Transport, and his chief occupation
consists in lodging work and in visit
ing all great functions in the vicinity
that may be graced by his presence.
He has bad reputation among police
circles, and enjoys the distinction OF
being the LATEST man in that town.
When the large excursion train left
Williamsport for Shamokin, he went
with it, arriving safely latter manag-
ing 10 elude the trainmen. After spend
ing an enjoyable day at the conven-
tion he started TO return with the
train. beating his way by riding blind
baggage. At Reed 5 station he came to
grief and was captured by Special
Officer J. @. White. He was taken to
Sunbury and lodged in the lookup
where he spent the night. Yesterday
morning he was taken before Justice
of the Peace Shipman, where he was
given hearing, after which he was
sent to prison for twenty days.

TO SUCCEED
FATHER O'REILLY

The Rev. Father Arthur j. McCsnn
of Locust Gap has been removed to
Danville to fill the vacancy in st. JOS
eph's Catholic church caused by the
death of the Rev. NJ. l. O'Rielly.
Announcement as above was made
by the Rev. Father McCann at the
morning service of st. Joseph's Oath
ollie church at Locust Gap on Sunday.
He explained that he had received
word from Bishop Shanahan announc-
ing his removal to DanviIle.
Father McCanu is a hardworking
conscientious priest and during his
pastorate at st. Joseph's church he
endesred himself to the people of
Locust Gap. The announcement of
his removal Sunday caused profound
sorrow among his parishioners and,
after hearing his farewell address,
mary persons left the church with
tear-stained faces.
In this city Tuesday nothing de-
fl lite concerning Father McCann's ap-
pointment was known. Among the
members of st. Joseph's Catholic
church it was well understood that
there was to be general transfer OF
pastors in the diocese, that in line
with the changes Father McCann was
to leave Locust Gap; but beyond the
latter's own announcement there was
no official information that he was
coming to Danville.
Today the congregation expects to
be fully informed. Father McCann's S
appointment as a successor of the late
Father O'Reilly was confidently ex-
pected by good many members OF
the congregation here.
