BEWARE OF DOG DAYS"

Samuel G. Dixon, State commission
er of health sends ont the warning,
Beware of dog days. There is an
interesting story as to the whyfore of
the so.called dog days.
From the Heliacal rising of the star
Sirius or the Dog Star, the largest and
brightest of all the stars, visible in
the heavens during August, supersti-
tious reckoned their dog days forty in
number, twenty before and twenty aft
er the rising of the star. The rising of
the Dog Star was supposed to be the
occasion of the extreme heat and of
the disease incidental to these days,
because by mere accident the rising of
the star coincided with the hottest
season of the year in the countries of
the superstitious and ill-informed
astronomers.
However, the time of the Dog Stars
rising, the modern astronomers tell
us, depends upon the latitude and is
growing later each year so that in the
course of time the star will rise in
midwinter. What warning will the
old folks give to their venture

RUNAWAY AVERTED

What promised to be a thrilling run
away on Mill street yesterday after
noon, was averted by the level headed
ness of Leon Meyer, one of the prop
rietors of Meyer Bros grocery.
About j 30 O'Clock a carriage in
which were young lady and "a small
boy, drove up in front of Harris book
store and the youngster went in to
make a purchase. Scarcely had he left
than the horse took fright at some
thing and started down the street,
gaining speed with every bound. Mr..
Meyer was in the act of removing
some groceries from the delivery wag-
ON into the store when the runaway
passed. The young lady bravely saw
ing ON the reins in an attempt to STOP
the frightened beast, was powerless.
With a bound Mr.. Meyer took up the
chase. Before the other side of the
canal had been reached he had caught
up with the vehicle, and needless of
danger made dash for the buggy box.
He landed safely, grabbed the lines
from the young lady's hands and
brought the horse to stop in front of
Bernheimer's store.

THREE SQUARES PAVED

The paving is now laid ON three
squares of East Market street, between
Pine and Iron streets, while two of the
squares are thrown open to traffic.
Excavation is completed as far as
Railroad street. Gn the fourth square
between Iron and Railroad streets,
part of the way the course of crushed
stone and the sand are applied so that
the paving is likely to begin at any
day.
An enormous amount of excavating
was required on the fourth square,
especially, at the eastern end where
the cut was nearly two feet deep. A
good deal of work was involved in the
lowering of the switch that crosses the
street at the Structural Tubing works.
The trolley rails on that square are
blocked up ready for paving. Both the
trolley track and the switch are now
some nine inches lower than they were
before. The switch in the yards of
both the Structural works and the
Danville Foundry and Machine COM
pany has been lowered TO conform with
the new grade on the street, changing
appearance in that locality.
sOnly little eXcavating remains to
be done before Cooks court, the end
of the section to be paved, is reached.
Mr.. Lyons contract should be COM
pleted before the end of September.

BOARD OF HEALTH
TAKES ACTION

The local board of health has adopt
ed radical measures in its efforts to
cope with the unfortunate conditions
relative to the prevalence of whooping
cough in Danville. aiming to bring all
the infected families under quarantine
between the present and the opening
of the schools next week.
During Friday DR.. Bouse visited
different sections of the borough and
satisfied himself that the reports rela-
tive to whooping cough were not eX-
aggerated. What he actually saw was
we'll described in his report to the
board of health Friday evening. He
saw children, he declared, that had
whooping cough playing on the street,
and when seized with an attack of
coughing would cease playing and
cling to post or other support until
the paroxysm was over. Under such
conditions, he said, the disease would
continue to spread until the epidemic
is spent.
He strongly emphasized the gravity
of the situation. Statistics show, he
said, that more children each year die
of measles and whooping cough than
of the supposedly more dangerous dis
easees, ,diphtheria and scarlet fever. The
State board of health he said, does
not assume control in an epidemic
such as this. 1t devolves upon the
local board of health to act in the
premises, the State department of
health sustaining merely the relation
of an advisor.
DR.. Newbaker, president of the local
board of health, explained how it has
occurred that whooping cough has
gained such foothold in Danville.
Most people, he said, believe that the
disease is comparatively harmless and
rather than suffer the inconveniences
that might arise from having their
houses placared, they declined to en-
ploy physician and undertook to
treat the cases themselves. Thus it
happened that only small proportion
of cases were reported.
In this connection Health Officer B.
B. Brown explained that only seven
houses, embracing some eighteen cases,
are placarded in Danville
DR.. Bouse then explained that the
law requires every householder to re-
POI to the health authorities whoop-
ing cough or any other communicable
disease and for failure to do so house
holders are liable TO the same penalty
neglects to report communicable dis
eases. In Danville at present where
whooping cough exists and physicians
are not employed, the hOuseholders
who have failed to report the disease
stand in very great danger of being
convicted in a summary proceeding be-
fore any justice of the peace.
On motion a resolution was passed
by the board of health deciding to ad-
opt the act of May II, 1909, as its
code. 1t was also decided to proceed
to enforce its provisions relating to
whooping cough Immediately.
That no one might plead ignorance
of the law nor of action taken by the
local board of health in the premises
it was ordered that two thousand
copies of the act together with the
above resolution of the board of health
be printed in circular form and that a
copy be delivered personally into the
hands of every house holder in town.

AT WATER WORKS

At the water works the pump that
supplies the tanks has no difficulty in
keeping the four big tubs full of wat
er, which implies that the process of
filtration is going on as fast as practic-
able. To place another pump in COM
mission. raising water from the river,
under the present conditions, would
relieve the situation only by giving
the borough unfiltered water-direct
from the river-which is a measure
not to be contemplated at the present
season. Neither is it practicable to
hasten the process of filtration, as the
result would be to impair the purity
of the water.
The predicament that the borough is
in is due solely to the fact that the de-
mand during the dry season is greater
than the supply that can be produced
by the water plant at its present tub
capacity. 1t frequently happens that
for hours at time there are only a
couple of feet of water in the reser-
volr, while the pressure maintained is
as low as 40 pounds, which is not suffi.
cient to give the more elevated por-
tions of the town water, The pressure
was up to sixty pounds for a while
yesterday afternoon, which is still
some twenty pounds below what is
normal. What the result should be if
fire were to break out when the pres
sure is unavoidably down so low it
does not require avery luminous fancy
to picture.

SUP'T kEEFER EXPLAINS

Water Superintendent P. J. Keefer
was interviewed yesterday. The un-
fortunate condition, he said, has been
brought about by the unprecedented
demand for water caused by the dry
weather Few people have an adequate
idea of the enormous quantity of wat
er used in sprinkling the streets and
lawns. Nor is the legitimate use of
water alone TO be reckoned with; the
waste must also be taken into account.
In dry weather few people seem to
think of economizing in the use of
water; it is simply poured away.
Then, again, our manufacturing in
dustries, Mr. Keefer explained, are
drawing upon the borough very heav-
lily for water. rs in every instance
their own supply, where they have
one, is running very low The conf
bined effect is to produce such a drain
upon the borough water supply AS
probably seldom or never occurred be-
fore. He agreed that the situation is

USE WATER GPARINGLY

He regards it as unfortunate, that
residents in some parts of town should
be without water while people in 9th
er parts are using it lavishly or even
wasting it. The fact most to be de-
ploIed, he said, is that we should be
without adequate fire protection. To
cut off the supply of the industrial
plants would be TO cause them to shut
down, throwing our working popula-
tion out of employment.
He urged that the present article en-
body an appeal directly from him,
urging all water takers to abstain from
sprinkling both streets and lawns for
the present and to be just as economic.

If this request be needed it may be
found possible TO keep safe margin
of water in the reservoir to be used in
case of fire. If it is not needed then
the present conditions must continue.

THE WATER

Danville is facing a water famine.
Indeed, as relates to some parts of
town the famine is already on. Dur
