The centenarlsn

Dr. Woods Hutchinson says that
when a man says he has lived hun
ired years, he merely means that it
seems like that long. Or perhaps he
has simply grown short of breath, and
So whon asked how old he is, re-
plies; "A hundred" which is brief, IN
stead of "eighty-seven," which is long
er This is especially true of French
nonagenarians. When a Frenchman
has reached ninety-seven he has to
say: "Four-score-seventeen," whereas
Cent" win come out much quicker.
DR., Hutchinson's Investigations show
that almost invariably your centenari-
an is too ignorant to know his age
or comes from place so remote that
nobody can verify the date of his
birth. The doctor claims that when
we hear it said that people don't livs
as long as they used to, the correct
answer Is They never did

tuberculosis Sunday

Next Sunday will be observed as
tuberculosis Sunday in this country.
In every state, in churches of nearly
all denominations, by clergymen in
the largest pulpits the gospel of
health will be preached, and the
same topic will be presented in Sum
lay schools by laymen and doctors.
When it is recalled that in 1908 in
this state over ten thousand people
died of that dread disease it will be
seen that popular teaching of the
dangers to be avoided in the fight
against it becomes imperative to pre-
serve the health of communities.
Had the funerals of these victims of
preventable disease been beld in
one day the oortege would have
stretched from one end of the state
and back again, and if they had been
held cOnsecutively the Observance
would have continued uninterrupted
, ly, night and day thruout the entire
year and for two years to come:
There are many little dangers which
may lead to the disease, and especial
y among the young. Parents should
see that their children have plain,
wholesome nOurishing food, they
should not have their digestion i'm.
paired by the use of candies and
dainties and eating at irregular
hours. Boys should not be allowed
10 use tobacco children should sleep
with open windows protected from
TRAITS, and they should spend at Last
three hours day IN the open air.
Children are being educated under
too high pressure, and often their
vitality is reduced by study until the
germ finds an easy lodgment. Tuber
cutosis may be transmitted by using
common drinking cups, by cake,
candy or apples into which a child
infected has bitten and in numerous
other simple ways. Constant care
and vigilance and sanitary precau-
tions are necessary to ward off possi-
BILE infection, and especially should
these precautions be- taken in fam-
lies where a member may be in
fected. Tho effort is TO stamp ont
the plague and to do that every one
must exercise care in every way 10
prevent the germs from being scat
tered an2 lodged in the systems OF
others.

For Free Bridges.

Governor Stuart has appointed
Hon. Alfred Marvin and Hon. NJ
c. Rowland as commissioners to act
with those from N. Y. and N. j. to
ascertain the probable cost of toll
bridges across the Delaware with
the view Of having the states buy
and make them free. While some of
the bridges may be good paying in
vestments, notably the one at Easlon
yet the tolls are to an extent a tax
and act in restraint Of interstate
trade. The toll bridge system, like
toll roads, is antiquated and should
be abrogated, and to further the at
tempt bridge companies should be
reasonable in their demands. Bridges
as rule are risky investments and
unless they pay very large dividends
stockholders can well afford to sell
for fair price. 1t is hoped the sf
fort win meet With success,

GUMPTION ON
THE FARM

- 4AA@ - AAANAAA
Cold wet May-barn full Of hay.
Don't slight the corn-corn is
King.
A field is not fenced when the bars
are down.
Don't put away steel tools wet;
dry them first, then oil them.
Lift up your eyes occasionally. All
good things aren't in the furrows.
The boy smokes cigarettes behind
the barn because dad smokes cigars
in the open.
Never lead q colt at the end of a
long strap. Men have been killed in
this way.
Wood ashes or lime should not be
applied mixed with, or in direct con
tact with, stable or hen manure.
Don't throw out apples, potatoes
or turnips where stock can get them.
After ell it is the producing power
of the farm that determines the boy
in his going or staying Show bim
that there's money in il, and he will
stick to the old farm hke a sand bur
to sleeps tail,
Don't let the back etep be insight
ly with swill pals, cat dishes aud
hen food, thus strewiDg food and at
tracting flies and disease. Cart
away all the old cans. broken dishes,
old coats and books, from hack places
and yards.
On some soils, it does not pay to
plow too deep. For instance, take
IL where the. plowpoint strikes hard
pan; no use too pull the horses to
death and tire ourselves all out to
briGg that to the surface. 1t is not
worth while after we have done it.
Here is the most approved method
Of treating seed potatoes to prevent a
scabby crop; Soak the whole seed for
two hours In mixture of one-half
piht Of iormalin (often called for
naldehyde) and fifteen gallons of
cold water; dry the seed. cut, and
plant In ground that has not recently
grown potatoes.
Probably not one farmer in thous
and ever took his moving machine
guards out and ground them on the
QUITTING edge. Look at them and see
how dull they are. Some day before
haying. when You have q little time,
just take them all out aAd sharpen
them. You have no idea how much
better they will work. The machine
will cut almost like a new one.
Tarring corn In coating seed corn
with coal tar as protection against
crows and .blackbirds. put the grain
iuto pail and pour on snough warm
water to cover It. Add a teaspoon
full OF tarto peck, and stir well.
Throw the corn ont on a sieve or in
basket 20 drain, and ther stir In
few handfuls of land plaster gyp-
cum Do not pour the tar on the
ry seed.
Sometimes folks get good many
irons in the fire at the same time in
spite of themselves Jobs come
thick and fast, some days The best
way to do, then, is to keep calm and
go straight ahead. doing all the lit
tie things that lie in one part of the
farm when you are in that locality,
and then go on TO sometAing else.
Finish what you have on hand.
Time brings all out right to the man
who works this way.

NOTES FROM
SANDYSTON


Hiram C. Shook is having a large
barn built on his farm better known
as the "McManus'' farm, and ue-
chan'cs are at work on the fonuda-
tion.
Ralph Vansickle, who ran one of
the big autos from Milford TO Port
Jervis last summer, has taken up
the job again and left on Thursday
last to commence his work.
He is thoroughly competent and
will give o good account of himself.
Miss Sallie Gumaer of this town
teaching in Hampton was home a
few days with the chicken pox and
few days after her sister Mary,
also teacher, came home with the
same ailment.
Our folks are not rushing gar.
den making, as our weather sharps
are predicting more snow and
frost If the weather of Sunday is
any criterion, we are likely 10 get
a touch Of the latter.
From the visit of strange cousta.
bles and the deputy sheriff in this
town the past week, l opine that is
not all Jurors they were after.
The trial at Hainesville between
Joshua Aber VS. Jerry Jaeger for
trespass resulted in a verdict of
s25.OO against the deft, with
costs.
Pretty costly driving across a
narrow strip of land, but the law
must be obeyed.
A MIR. Cram of Millbrook has
opened a blacksmith shop at Bev-
ans. just what was needed in that
community.
Sandyston is one of the healthi-
est towns in this county. There
has been very little sickness of a
serious nature, and only one death
in several months
The whooping cough epidemic
has passed and all are glad Cf
it.
Other towDships are hiring their
teachers for the coming school year
and why should this town wait un-
til other townships have engaged
the best teachers and we take our
pick of what is left. That our
schools need a change of teachers
is well known and for the good of
the schools make change.
Blanks were issued by the census
enumerator for filling, which would
materially assist him in his work,
but have yet to hear of one be
ing properly filled ou5.
We are glad to see the smiling
face Of Wallace McCracken on our
streets again as he has taken a posi-
tion in the shop of his fqther at
Layton. His wife will soon join him
here.
Clark Kyle of Bevans n. j. died
last Sunday of an attack of append.
otis. He had been sick for several
days and Sunday an operation was
decided on when it was found the
appendix was ruptured. His age
was about 81 years. His widowed
mother who has the heartfelt sym
pathy of the Community in her
great sorrow survives him.

Bless you, my little sentinel,
Watching day and night to tell
The hours as they're fitting by,
No truer friend on earth have
You do not tire, but onward trudge,
Your work is never, never done,
You do not murmur, nor complain,
Nor have you anything to gain.
Your honest face 70 e to see.
You tick the hours cheerfully.
And when I'm sad you cheer me on
With you pleasant little tick, took tongue.
4 understand just whit you say,
You speak TO rne in your own way,
And tell me life is passing fast,
There is no present time to last.
The future tin cannot see,
l can only count eternity
AS futures time TO everyone
When times ticking here is done.
I've had my joys and sorrows tco,
But now they re past; can't renew
A single one; pleasure Or pain
Lives but in me mory again.
Through it 1 see tie lorg past years
misty dim with clustering tears,
The faces that gave me delight
Now faded evermore frcm sight.
AS they have gone too must go
How soon or how l cannot know,
But when l am, you'll tick en- still
For some ere whom my place may fiji.

JACK D bR|EN HAS
CLOSE CALL IN
HIS SCRAP
Society Pugilist Comes
Close to Knockout From
Al Kaufman.

Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. 20.-Shifty
footwOrk and the brevity Of the bout
was all that saved Jack OBrien, the kid
glove pugilist. from an awful drubbing
and possibly an inglorious knockout
before HIS society friends last night
Al Kaufman, whom O'Brien whipped in
SanFrancisco, was thirsting for the
society fighters gore. At the close of
the fight both men were bleeding at
the mouth and nose and, had the fight
gone another lap. there would have
been knockout credited to Kaufman
All that saved O'Brien was his shift
ness and his ability to clinch at the
right time and save himself
Kaufman finished. the fight as fresh
as a flower while Dexter Biddle's friend
was all but all in when the sixth gong
rang.
The men rushed to a clinch when the
first round opened and in the break
away O'Brien sent two stiff straight
lefts to AIS nose. Kaufman went
after his former conQuerer but Jack
was so shifty that he would beat 1t
around the ring, stop, hand the Cali
fornian a punch and be on his way.
O'Brien was plainly not in condition
His rests between rounds would refresh
him a little but his steam was not up
enough to carry him through each
round. Kaufman WOuld. nave Deen
avenged in the fourth round if O'Brien
had not clinched. Kaufman drove home
a wicked right to the wind bag and a
left to the chin.
Jack went to his knees and when he
was on his feet again he rushed for
the protecting embrace of the clinch-
In the fifth and sixth, O'Brien would
not permit kaufman TO get his trip
hammer arms working. Before Kauf-
man, slow on his feet, could set him
self for death dealing blows, O'Brien
would swat him one in the nose, side
step and then rush for clinch. Once
AL caught him coming on for a clinch
and handed him bunch of knuckles
that almost took him off his feet.
O'Brien, the pet OF ehiladelphia's
upper crust, could not have lasted an
other round except by hanging on as
he was clearly outclassed and out
fought at the end of the bout
