GETTING READY FOR THE 4TH.
State Has Distributed Quantities Of Anti.
Tetanus Serum for Victims.
Free to the Poor.

Health Commissioner Dixon
plans to fight for the lives of
poor children of Pennsylvania
who may be in danger of tetanus,
by distributing anti-tetanus ser.
um free of charge to such needy
ones as may be injured by explos
ives on July 4.
The serum will be distributed
at forty-two points throughout
Pennsylvania, chosen by reason
OF their accessibility. The dan
ger of tetanus from explosive
wounds is very great, as the ap-
palllng sacrifice of lives in the
past shows. If, promptly after
the wound is received, the injured
one is treated with lmmunizing
doses of anti-tetanus serum, the
danger of lockjaw developing is
warded off, just as diphtherla an
I'll toxin is used to protect chill
dren who have been exposed to
that disease. That no poor child
in Pennsylvania shall die for want
of this preventive treatment, Is
the purpose of Health Commls.
sloner Dixon.
These tetanus anti toxin sta
tions will furnish the serum on
the application of a physician who
certlfies that it IS for the use of
an INDECENT case. The doctor al
so agrees to furnish the State De
partment of Health with a cllni-
cal report of the case for tabula-
ton and study.
The antl-tetanus serum will be
given out by the State from the
following nearby points: Leslie
w. Seylar, McConnells5urg; f.
w. Jordan, Bedford, and II. E.
Steel, Huntingdon.

Turn To the Right.

When approaching other We
hlcles you must turn to the right.
When the driver of a rapidly NOV
ing vehicle signals you from the
rear that he intends to pass you
you should turn to your right.
The right of the road is where
you belong under the law at all
times. Because 1T is customary
to drive IN the center does not
give you any legal right to be
there.
If an accident occurs and you
are not on the right side of the
road, that is If you arein the cen
ter or on the lett side, you are
likely to be held responsible.
Many make the mistake of turp-
ing to the left when an automobile
signals them from behind. This
is dangerous, as the automoblllst
Is likely to SWING to the left and
run into you. He and drivers of
ali other vehicles are compelled
to go to the left when passing any
vehicle from the rear. Many
boroughs and some first class
townships have ordinances re-
quirlng lights visible front and
rear on all vehicles State law re-
quires this on autos.) 1t would
be safer If there was State law
requiring this everywhere.

SUMMERING In SYRIA.
Rev. and Mrs. W. II. Reed Bertha Grove
Arc in the Robert West House In
the Lebanon Mountains.
EXTRACTS FROM A PRIVATE LETTER.

Rev. and Mrs. w. IL. Reed and
family and DR.. Askron and fam
ily-all of Mldinet ell Fayoum,
Egypt, are spending their sum-
mer rest IN the mountains of Leb
anon near Beirut, Syria. They
have rented, and are occupying,
the house of Mrs. West, widow
of the late Prof Robert FL. West,
son of our late DR.. West, so ia
miliarly and favorably known to
all in McConnellsburg. Mrs.
Reed, IN private letter to her
father, Rev. j. l., Grove, says;
"The house stands on a steep
ridge of Lebanon and overlooks
the country to Beirut and the
sea. The view is magnificent.
We never tire of it. Though l
had often heard that Syria was a
wild stony land, 1 had no idea
that 1t was really so wild as 1t is.
1t is wilder and rougher than the
toughest part of Fulton county
that | have ever seen.
"To reach our house, it requlr-
es about a ten-mlnutes cllm b
from the nearest carriage road.
The house Is very substantial
one of stone-plain. but very com
Portable. The little parlor has
an organ and a bookcase with a
few standard works and many
volumes of Century, Youths
Comps nion', st. Nicholas, Lit.
tie Folks, etc. Mary is charmed
to find so many nice stories.
There is a large clstern here
with good cool water. IL is such
a comfort just to pump the cool,
good water and drink 1t without
the trouble of filterlng and cool
ing as we must do in Egypt.
Frauline went to Jerusalem, and
just arrived yesterday, and the
children are starting in lessons
again. French is to be the spe-
clalty this summer. The money
here Is very puzzling, as the value
is not the same In different plac.
es, and the system is fractional
all the way through. So buying
and making accounts make a
great deal of figuring. There IS
no telegraph, telephone, nor post
here; so we feel well out of the
world. The postis brought from
Beirut, however, once day, and
left at some store or other, and
one Is permitted to go in and look
it all over and choose what is for
him, or take his fancy. But we
are told that when the season be-
gins, about July lst, there will
be regular post. The train re-
qulres as long to come from Bel
rut as carriage, but the former
is cheaper. must close and
hasten to mail"

All Roads Will be Free.
From Philadelphia Press,

From Philadelphia Press,
There are 713 miles of tollroads
IN the state of Pennsylvania, ac-
cordlng to the Pennsylvania Toll
road Commission. We doubt If
this can be matched IN all the rest
of the United States put together.
This is the only large State that
retains many tollroads. Mary
land, a much smaller State, is
probably second IN this unfavor-
able distinction of privately owned
highways.
Seventy five years ago all the
principal highways were toll
roads. AS the States have ad.
vanced In wealth and population
they have, one after another,
made their highways free. Penn.
sylvania has not kept up with
this movement and still retains
many tollroads. Now that the
Repu bllcan party In the State has
declared for their abolition, and
State Com mission has devised
way to do 1T, IL Is inevitable that
the tollgate will not be able to
linger and reproach US by it's
presence mutch longer.
The 713 miles of tollroads, If
strung together, would make two
highways clear across the State
owned by private parties, levylng
road taxes every few miles, and
not kept in frst-class condition,
as the MISSION reports and
common experience attests.
Some of the most frequently
Travelled tollroads in the country
around Philadelphia are kept IN
fairly good condition, but the cost
of using them Is excessive and
the great number of the tollgates
are source of great annoyance,
"The Press" long ago raised the
cry that these tollgates should go
and now they are going.
A rich and progressive State
like Pennsylvania should have
good highways running in every
direction, and all of them free.
The progress of the good roads
movement in this State has been
checked and limited by the fact
that the tollroads occupied the
nam highway route In large
section of the State, and State
road improvement could only be
accomplished on the subsidiary
and MINOR roads.
The good roads movement
should have begun by the acqulsi
ton of the tollroads iby the State
and the abolition Of the tollgates.
That was not done, but now 1t
will be. The Tcllroad Commls-
sion has prepared the way for
it, the Republican State Conyen-
tion has declared for it, and the
great highway emancipation for
which "Tne Press" has labored
so assiduously will soon be rea
llzed by the freeing OF the whole
718 miles Of toll turnpike in Penn
sylvanIa.
