200 Pounds of Deadly

200 pounds OF dynamite was placed
on board q street car downtown ana
transported to the water main work
that is being done In the river near
Coldbrook street while the streets
were filled with shoppers and the car
was crowded? Well, thai is the truth"
This is the statement made by a
citizen which has been reported TO
the proper authorities to prevent a
repetition Ct the dangerous practice.
Il appears that the explosive was
needed quickly TO carry on the quarry

with the laying Of the 20-inch water
main that il being extended To the
west side OF the river To provide
against any emergency In case the
large main near the Wealthy-aye.
bridge becomes unserviceable. To
hasten the delivery the workmen
placed the dynamite on the car and
succeeded in safely transporting IL n
the work without the dangerous load
being set of.
The attention OF the officials has
neen called 10 the violation OF the city
laws and during the remainder OF the
work on the water main dynamite will
rot be transported on cars or trucks
where 1t Is liable 10 send many people

URGES V|G|LANCE
AGAINST DISEASE
DOCTOR SAYS INDIVIDUAL MUST
BE IN A HEALTHY STATE TO
RESIST WHITE PLAGUE.

HARRISBURG, Pa. Jan. las a
vital factor in the campaign against
all forms OF disease, and especially
against tuberculosis. being waged by
the state department OF health, Com
missioner Samuel G.. Dixon In an in-
terview, took occasion To emphasize
the necessity of the human body be-
ing in such condition as TO resist the
attacks OF the tubercle bacillus. Fail
ing In this, he indicates the necessity
Of so building up the body that ii will
be enabled TO throw off the germs al
ready present and to resist attacks
from new ones.
IF tuberculosis is TO be reduced in
the human family said Commission
er Dixon, the people must be taught
that. in civilized communities, the tu-
bercle bacillus is, as II were, ever
present, and. therefore. prevention
can only be accomplished by building
up or keeping up the resistance nat
urally found in the healthy human
economy.
ITO establish this. the mother must
begin with the infant. She should be
taught by her physician, who should
always be highly educated in medi.
cine, that the child must be fed with
that foodstuff which will supply all
the demands OF the blood. that II may,
in turn, iced its different tissues. The
child should be kept clean, that the
skin as well as the lungs can help
keep the blood pure
Fresh air and sunlight are essen
tial TO keep the blood In a condition
which will build up the fort of resist
ance against tuberculosis.
Physical exercise in moderation is
necessary for health and resistance.
Special attention must be paid TO the
development OF the chest or any other
part Of the body that may be defec-
tive. Excuses OF any kind should be
avoided. For instance, excuses in
physical exercise. overlooking the
stomach and overworking the brain.
Alcohol. excepting during some acute
disease, is always injurious to youth.
Excessive dancing, excessive high
speeding in automobiles, continuous
excessive excitement from music, par
ticularly with those who have musical
talent, necessarily exhaust the resis-
tive power of the animal economy. and
III the individual living In civilized
life has some weak spot. as it were,
IL will fall victim TO the tubercle
bacillus"

STATE WINS IN SUIT

ice OF America Land Co. The title to
Harsen's island, containing about s.
600 acres of land has been in litiga-
ton for 10 years. The state claimed
5000 acres Of the land. and the heirs
OF Jacob Harsen and the squatters at
the Flats claimed they owned the land
through a grant by the British gov.
eminent. Lincoln Avery. OF Port Hu.

represented the state. AS result OF
the decision the state will acquire title
to all the cottages and clubhouses
south OF the surveyed lands on the
island. The property is worth more
than $1,000, 900. Judge Erskine holds
there was never a British grant. The
case will probably be appealed to the
supreme court.
