NIGHT NURSE
Kept In Perfect Trim by Right Food

Nursing the sick Is often very bur-
densome to the nurse.
Night nursing is liable to be even
more exhausting from the fact that
the demands of the system for sleep
are more urgent during the night
hours
A Va lady, called on to act as night
nurse In the family, found the great
est support from the use of Grape
Nuts food, She says:
Our acquaintance with Grape
Nuts began eight years ago We
bought the first package sold in this
place. and although we began as
skeptics. we became converts to its
striking food value.
Il used Grape-Nuts first, to sustain
me when doing night nursing for a

May Result in Murder.
Centralia Man Stabbed Eleven Times.

With eleven stab wounds in his
body, Lewis Castro, of Centralia,
was taken to the Fountain Springs
hospital, on Wednesday evening of
last week, where he is lying in a
precarious condition, while the
man who committed tie deed,
Michael Lovovert was brought to
the Columbia county Jail at Blooms
burg by Constables Condy Langdon
and Owen Cain.
Castro is the proprietor of a
boarding house in Centralia, and
Lovovert, who is an uncle of Cas-
tro, boards with him. Wednesday
evening at the supper table, dis
pute arose between the two men in
regard to a mine certificate. The
quarrel resulted in fight in which
Lovovert stabbed his nephew eleven
times with long bladed knife.
Castro was given medical treat
ment in Centralia, and then taken
to the hospital at Fountain Springs.
He is now in very serious condi-
ton and little hopes are entertained
for his recovery.

BICYCLES.

Just about this time every year
we are told that there is to be a re-
vival of bicycling. No one gets
excited about it. The bicycle man.
ufacturers killed the goose that was
laying the golden eggs when they
got the big head and quit advertis-
ing. Nearly every newspaper man
and magazine man in the United
States had been induced to pur-
chase a wheel, and was being paid
for some mighty effective advertis-
ing. Wheels were being sold faster
than they could be built. Then,
the manufacturers combined. I"
They discovered that about twenty
million dollars a year were being
spent for advertising, and they de-
cided to save that money and pay
it in dividends. They stopped adj
vertising. The newspapers and
magazines stopped talking about
the pleasures OF bicycling, and the
public stopped buying wheels, and
then the business went to smash.
We don't believe that it can ever
be revived to anything like its old
proportions. If it is it will be by
a liberal use OF printers ink. .-Es.

War on Disease Germs.
State Health Commissioner Urges Disiniec.
tion as the Sure Preventive.

War on germs as the source of
disease is the keynote of circulars
that State Health Commissioner
Dixon has sent to more than 700
township health officers all over the
State. Disinfection is commended
as the only sure means of destroy
ing the root of the trouble in all
cases of communicable malady. In
the boroughs and cities and in the
townships of the first class the local
Boards of Health have their own
regulations in reference to disinfec-
ton and, encouraged to more vigor-
Gus effort by the State Department
of Health, their health officers as
rule are also carrying on a lively
campaign against disease-breeding
germs.
The Department of Health issues
circulars setting forth the necessity
of disinfection during the existence
of disease, as, for instance, in
typhoid fever. Only by unceasing
educational work, however, can the
people be taught to heed instruc-
tions, and SO the Health Commits
sioner declares he will keep peg
ging away" These circulars set
ting forth the proper precautions to
be taken in every case of communi-
cable disease are left at the house
by the health officer when he goes
to placard the premises Immediately
upon receiving the report of the
case from the physician.
Upward of so rules to be observed
as precautionary measures are then
given.

THE POULTRY YARD.

If you have sheltered place,
not only to set the hens but also to
rear the young, March hatcnes will
be profitable. Barrels laid on their
sides under a shed or some out
building, make ideal nests at this
time of the year.
Do not make the common error
of setting hens in the regular lay
ing houses, and never be guilty of
shutting up hen on the nest. The
barrel method is far better, and if a
small lath run Is built in front of
the nest, the hen can get off and on
her eggs as she deems best.
Some hens sit too closely to the
nest, and others not close enough.
But it is not in the province of man
to know just how long biddy should
remain Oh or off her eggs. Her
judgment is best in such matters.
1t is not advisable at this time of
the year to place more than eleven
eggs under hen, as those on the
outer edge are apt to become chilled.
Do not disturb her while she is
Matching ; and leave the young in
the nest for at least twenty four
hours. The youngsters need the
warmth more than they do food.
For the first two weeks it is best
to keep the hen and her young in
large house or coop, so that they
can exercise and at the same time
be protected from the weather.
After that time they can be allowed
outdoors during the middle of nice
days.
The egg crop is increasing in
bulk and decreasing in price.
All pens should be mated by now,
if intended for breeding purposes.
Be sure that the new male bird
you are using for breeding is no
relative of the hens. You can not
expect strong, rugged stock where
there is close relationship between
sire and dams.
If it is intended to purchase eggs
for Matching this season, the order
had better be placed now, so that
there will be no disappointment in
not getting the eggs when wanted.
For strong fertility, try alterna-
ting male birds in the pens. Have
either two males for each pen, or
three males for two pens, using
only one male at time in pen,
and changing about twice week.
Eggs from two-year-old hens are
apt to hatch best at this time, and
the chicks will be more thrifty than
those from pullet eggs.
AS rule the eggs from hens that
did heavy laying during the winter
will not be SO fertile as eggs from
hens that made but fair showing.

1.-The Flaming Arrow"

There are doubtless any number
of theatre-goers who will remember
the time about twenty years ago,
that Buffalo Bill came here with a
company composed of Texas Jack,
Buckskin Joe, and host of celeb
rites dear to American boys hearts.
1t was probably the first time that
the real Simon pure, Red Man had
ever been seen on a local stage.
That episode in our history is inev-
itably recalled,by the Indians who
will be seen at the Grand Opera
House Friday evening, February
aSth in the stirring melodrama,
"The Flaming Arrow" There are
more Indians in this production
than took part in Buffalo Bill, the
King of the Border" when a good
many of us were boys. To add in
terest and enthusiasm to the pro-
duction, a band OF sixteen full
blooded Indians is carried with the
company, forming an Indian brass
band.
The name of the play is signifi
cant of blood and thunder in a
superlative degree, and the fact
that it is produced by company
composed largely of real live
Indians, naturally strengthens the
impressions. But by the time the
curtain descends on the last act,
the audience begins to realize that
there isn't much i'll a name after all,
and that Indians under certain cir
cumstanceS can present another
phase of character other than that
usually lepicted in dime novel.
The show is clean and wholesome,
well staged and has some of the
best scenic effects Mr.. Carter has
as yet turned out. The play is
splendidly staged and has many
thrilling situations, such as four
frisky, bucking bronchos, ex. Uni
ted States soldiers, &c.
The story deals with a treacher-
Gus Mexican's attempt to force Col.
Freemont's daughter, Mary to
marry him. She is rescued by her
Indian lover and brought back to
the stockade in the last act when
all hope of her recovery has been
abandoned.

Want Change in Game Laws.

Northumberland county sports
men are being asked for their sig.
natures to petition which is to be
submitted to the next legislature
regulating and codifying the State
game laws. The petition has al
ready over 9,7oo names, it having
been circulated in several counties.
In Northumberland there will be
900 more names added. The fol-
lowing legislation is recommended
by the petition: To make the open
season for killing rabbits, squirrels,
pheasants, quail and woodcock
from November Ist to December
Ist; to prohibit the digging out of
rabbits from holes in the ground,
stone fences and stone walls; to
prohibit the hunting and killing by
all persons until they shall have
paid an annual tax of one dollar
for a license for that purpose to be
issued by the county treasurer,
this money to'be used for restock-
ing game preserves. no man to be
prevented from hunting en- his own
premises without such license dur
ing the open season. The petition
will be extensively circulated
through the county. The Legisla-
ture will, in all probability, pass
these amendments because the SEN
timent will be overwhelming among
sportsmen from all parts of the
State toward the above changes in
the game laws.

roads will not accept cattle unless

prosperity of the few? Is the av-

Notes on Spring Styles.

Fashion is marching on in her
usual way this spring, and to those
who know and see ahead she is
leading up to an entirely new type
of woman" says Grace Margaret
Gould, the fashion editor, in the
March, the Spring Fashion Num-
Der of the W0man'S Tome Com-
PaniOn.
The change is to be a gradual
one, however, but before long the
fashionable woman will have ban
ished for good and all the extrava-
gantly large hat, the huge pompa-
dour, the frills and the furbelows
of her bodice, and the full skirt.
The new tendency is all toward the
straight up-and-down type of figure
--sloping, slender hips. pulled
back, tight skirts trailing on the
ground, plain, fitted waists, and
sleeves of the old-fashioned tight
fitting sort which cling to the arm
from shoulder to wrist.
This is what we are coming to,
so the authorities who make the
fashions tell us, but as yet we have
taken only step or two on the
way. This spring many small hats
will be worn the new corset effect
gives unusual slenderness of line /;
cnt in-One dresses will be fashion
able mousquetaire sleeves which
show the outline of the arm will be
favored, and skirts will have lost
their full effect.'
