Rostand, in our opinion, might have
cade a more accurate comparison be-
tween men and animals. He has, for.
tunatelyi done something more i'm.
portant than comparing animals and
men in his play. He has put into 1t
beautiful lines expressing fine ideas.
And among them all'there Is one idea
that stands out y W"
Chanteler, the boastful rooster,
struts on the wall, welcoming the ris.
ing sun. He believes that the sun
rises when he commands It, and sa-
lutes the rising god Of light in an ad.
dress in which he describes the sun.

which means entering each flower
and humble home, divided and yet re.
naming entire, like the love of a
mother"
TlHRE is beautiful thought, and
a beautiful comparison. There is but
one sun; millions Of creatures and
millions of homes depend upon the
sun, and each has ALL OF THE
SUMS BEAUTY AND ALL OF THE
SUMS E1HGT TO ITSELF!
All of the suns force is poured upon
the humble cottage, flooding the
rooms, cheering hearts with warmth
and light and beauty.
And the same sunlight, divided YET
ENTIRE, is the possession of the
birds out of doors, Of the distant lake
and sea, of each flower, each living
thing!
This thought that the beauty and
the light Of the sun, infinitely divided
is the complete and UNDIVIDED pos,
session Of each creature, is beautiful
and inspiring,
But still more beautiful is the com.
comparison of the sunlight to the love
of a mother, divided among her chill.
dren, yet the complete and undivided
possession of each individual child.
Give the good mother one child, or
ten. or twenty, and ALL OF HER
LOVE belongs to every one of her
children.
1t is not lessened BY division. 1t Is
all for eah child, whether the number
of the children be great or few!
Those lines, it seems to us, are the
best in Rostands play, and among the
best that have been written in any
play by anybody.
There Is much selfshrass along
human beings, SO much useless grasp
ing for exclusive possession, that 1t is
well to have real poet remind us
that thing may be divided and still
entire"
No man would be foolish enough to
ask to have all Of the sunlight for
himself, for he knows that he can
have it all, and yet leave all Of It for
every other living creature.
And no sane brother Or sister would
ask to have all of a mothers love.
Eah knows that the love Of the mother
is the property of all, divided yet en-.
tire, and enough for all; ,...,..
Some day let us hope, It win be.
possible for a poet of the future To-
speak Of happiness on earth as Ros:
tand speaks 81 ths Night ot the sun and
the love Of the mother.

ARBITRATION LAW

II believe that the next legislature
will pass a bill establishing an arbit-
ration board similar TO that in effect
in Canada" says Senator J. p. Nc
Nichol.
"The time has come when an act
should be on the statute books which
would at least make it impossible for
strikes to occur until all possible
means have been exhausted to settle
the dispute through arbitration. Aft
er reading what has been accomplish
ed in Canada to lessen strikes by amic-
able arbitration participated i'll by
employer, employee and an impartial
third member, l think that Pennsyl-
plan.
1.-THE full effect IF strikes cannot be
estimated The whole community
suffers because of disagreement be-
tween a body of men :and corpora
tion. Philadelphia has lost millions
and it will take years to regain the
losses. A bitter feeling has been en-
gendered between labor and capital
which may show itself in another
form at any time Any law which
would prevent strikes so effectively,
such as the Canadian act, should be
welcomed by labor and the entire COM
munity."

LAW ON BRIDGES

There has been some discussion in
the country lately as to just when the
county commissioners have the right
to build bridges. In the way of in
formation for the public The American
below reprints the law relating to
the subject:
Section 1. BE it enacted &c, That
whenever it shall appear to the COM
missioners of any county that any
county bridge, heretofore, or hereafter
to be, erected or constructed, is not
sufficient for any cause to accommod-
ate the public travel, it shall be law
full for the said commissioners to erect
and construct a new and sufficient
bridge to take the place of the then
existing bridge Provided, however,
That said commissioners first have the
approval of the court of quarter ses-
sions and of the grand jury of the pro-
per county. The said new bridge when
constructed shall be a county bridge.
Approved-The l4th day of Feb
ruary, A. D., 1907.

delegates are expected.
\ strong program of addresses by
leaders of the movement in the Re-
formed church, and other denomina-
tions as we'll, has been prepared, and
the list of speakers includes w. W.
Irvine, George Leslie Omwake, Paul
A. Kunkle, William E. Lampe and the
Rev. @. J. Musser.
Great interest in the gathering is
being manifested by the churches of
Sunbury and throughout this sect VI
of the State. 1t is the first gathering
of the kind held by the Reformed
churches of the district.
The Reformed church first gave
official sanction to the laymen's mis-
sionary movement at the meeting of
the General Synod at York in 1908. At
meeting held at Harrisburg last
year, at which thirty-four districts
were represented, an executive COM
mittee was appointed that authorized
and arranged the gathering to be held
at Sunbury this month.

DIVIDENDS
GROW LARGER

The total interest and dividend pay
ments for April l by railroad, indus.
trial and other corporations are esti-
mated by expert authority at $13S, 502,-
600, against $l23, 9l9, 900 in April
year ago. This very substantial gain
attests the general prosperity and the
increasing activity that have marked
business transactions in the United
States during the twelve months just
ending.
In recapitulation of the facts the
New York Journal of Commerce re-
marks: Like in the past, various rail
road and industrial corporations have
resumed or increased their dividends
as compared with last year, while 9th
ers have been enabled to declare initi-
al payments. At the same time var
ious companies are paying out funds
ON increased capitalization. 1t is also
interesting to note that the returns are
more complete than last year. Numer-
Gus new bond and note issues explain
the increase in interest disburse-
ments." All these things go to indi-
cate marked progress, generally health
full conditions in the commercial world
and the prevalence of confidence among
financiers, investors and the public at
large

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us Strong
and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of impure matter daily, when un-
healthy some part of this impure mat
ter is left in the blood. This brings ON
many diseases and symptoms-pain in
the back, headache, nervousness, hot,
dry skin, rheumatism, gout, gravel,
disorders of the eyesight and hearing,
dizziness, irregular heart, debility,
drowsiness, dropsy, deposits in the
urine, etc. But if you keep the filters
right you will have no trouble with
your kidneys.
Jacob W. Miller, lO6 Ferry street,
Danville, Pa, says: "In 1907 l took

panied by kidney weakness. know

INSPECTION Of
SCHOOL CHILDREN

The State department of health has
opened correspondence with DR.. G. A.
Stock, county medical inspector, reIa-
tive to the inspection of pupils of the
public schools, which, unless plans
miscarry, will go into effect next fall.
Heretofore the health officers of the
county have made inspection of the
schools under their charge to see
whether they came up to the requir-
ments as to arrangement of buildings
and sanitation. 1t is now planned by
the State department of health to est
ablish medical inspection to embrace
both an examination of the school
buildings and of the pupils attending.
In the future the buildings will have
to come up to certain requirements
concerning light, heat, ventilation,
water supply and disposal of sewage.
1t will be the duty of the county med
ical inspector to note wherein the
school buildings fall short in any re-
spect as we'll as to inspect the pupils
to determine the condition of their
teeth, eyes, ears and respiratory organs.
He will also be required to give a
short informal talk in each school ON
hygiene and the early recognition OF
contagious diseases.
1t is due to the change III the sys
tenn that the health officer of the coun
ty this spring have not been required
to make the usual inspection of the
schools in their respective districts.
The report of the county medical in
spector for three months ending Marcel
31st shows that, although nothing like
an epidemic has prevailed, yet the pre-
valence of contagious diseases through
out the county-exclusive of the Dor
oughs of Danville and Washington
vile, has been more general than dur
ing past years.
Following is the report of diseases
showing the number of cases of each
Diphtheria, two typhoid fever, eight
scarlet fever, sixteen; erysipelas
seven chickenpox, two; measles
seven; German measles, two wboop
ing cough, two.

GIG MILES OF ROAD

The State of Pennsylvania will add
this year between 20 and so miles of
improved highway to its list of roads
built under the supervision of the
State highway department The un-
usually early season has enabled the
contractors for road work to begin op-
ertions in over twenty counties and
every effort is being made to push the
construction as rapidly as possible.
The State has built 626 miles of road
since the creation of the highway de-
partment, the bulk of the work hav-
ing been done in the last two years.
In addition, the road building has
been along more connected lines than
heretofore. Under the provisions of
the law the construction is done en-
tirely by the State, but the townships
and boroughs have the choice of the
roads to be improved. Lately steps
have been taken to connect isolated
links of road and several stretches Of
ten or twelve miles will soon be ready
for traffic. More attention is also be-
ing given to the use of brick on the
roads.
The State has 90. 6 miles of road un-
der contract and about s675, 900 to
spend ON construction this year The
average cost per mile is between $S,-
900 and 80. 600

SLIGHT INJURY
CAUSES DEATH

William A. Young, we'll known
resident, died Saturday as the result
of virulent attack of blood poison
ing, which ran it's course in three
days, illustrating the deadly nature of
this ailment and the necessity of ex-
ercising precaution promptly in every
instance when wound is inflicted, no
matter how trifiing it may appear.
Mr.. Young first called ON his ply
sician for treatment Wednesday even
inS. He had injured his thumb while
working at the big mill. The wound
in itself was not serious, the flesh at
the end of the thumb being split open
Symptoms of blood poisoning al
ready were manifesting themselves,
the thumb and the back of the hand
being badly swollen. While the wound
was exposed after the accident poison
Gus or infective matter from without,
no doubt, was introduced into the
blood bringing about the morbid con.
dition indicated by the symptoms.
When the physician visited Mr..
Young Thursday he was alarmed al
the progress made by the disease BY
that time the entire arm and shoulder
were affected, and the mans suffering
was most intense. By Friday tn,
swelling had spread out over the chest
after which the disease speedily raj
its course. The patient died at AZ
Saturday afternoon following hours o
dreadful agony.
The deceased was sixty eight year
of age. He was native of Danville
He was brick moulder and for man,
years, followed that occupation. A
