Discredits Health Department.

Either thesPasteur treatment is
grand success, or the citizens OF Reyn-
oldsville were unduly excited when the
killing of dozen valuable dogs, and
the quarantining of a number of others
was ordered following the caperings of
cur supposedly mad.
Austin Shannon, the boy who was
bitten by the dog has been taken to
his home in Reynoldsyille, after under
going a six weeks Pasteur treatment
at Pittsburgh.
One week after he had been bitten
by the canine the State Department
of Health pronounced as having been
suffering from rabies, young Shannon
was taken to Pittsburgh for the
Pasteur treatment.
With the rabies germs running ram
pant In his system for seven days be-
fore treatment was started 1t is highly
improbable that the boys life could
have been saved by treatment Of any
kind, and the natural conclusion Is
that the dog which bit him was lot
suffering from rabies.-Punxsutawney

The Spirit, evidently, does not believe
the Health Department Of the State
knows anything about rabies, and dis
credits the statement that the dog
which raised the excitement in Reyn-
oldsvllle was mad.

In the last five years the state of

President Roosevelt 1t believes that
the preservation of the peoples nat

preservation of the people themselves.
The public cannot conscientiously per
nit the wasteful sacrifice of its forests
and its other forms of natural wealth,

In maintaining a fully equipped

against disease, Pennsylvania has talk.
en- a foremost stand for real modern
civilization. The creation of govern.
mental agencies for the preservation
Of the public health marks a new con-
ception Of governmental responsible
ity. The work thus far marks only
the beginning-merely suggests the
good which this department, under
the direction of DR.. Samuel G. Dixon,
the commissioner, has in view.
In the last thirty years the atti-
tude Of the public towards i'll health
has radically changed Until the re-
searches of that resourceful genius
Louis Pasteur, disclosed the real
cause Of contagious diseases, the aver
age mans conception was practically
that which had prevailed in the mid
die ages. The infections were merely
manifestations Of the inscrutable
wisdom of Providence, expressions of
divine wrath; punishments for sinful
human kind. Even the scientist re-
garded them as fundamental facts of
nature, like death itself, which every
one must uncomplainingly accept. Pas
teur, however. in few mastery ex-
periments. brushed aside all this ig-
norance and superstition. He showed
that all contagious diseases had
clearly defined and obvious origin.
They were not mysterious visitations,
without tangible cause and insuscep-
tible to tangible control. They were
caused by an infinitely large universe
Of infinitely small forms of vegetable
and animal life. He demonstrated
that the connection between these
malevolent micro-organisms and the
ensuing disease was as close as that
between sunlight and heat. And he
also Immediately drew the inevitable
conclusion. If the world were once
rid of these organisms, he declared,
1t would be rid Of contagious diseases.
ut is now within the power of the
world"-such was the deduction
which he drew from his experiments,
ito rid itself of all contagious dis
cases."
Setting Pace In Health Work.
This was the goal at which Pasteur
aimed; that has been the goal at
which all movements for improving
the peoples health have necessarily
aimed since. And this was the ulti-
mate ambition which led, FIVE years
ago. to the organization of the Penn
sylvania State Department of Health,
Pennsylvania in which there shall
be no young men and women Ian
gushing away with tuberculosis; a
Pennsylvania in which no children
shall die Of diphtheria; a Pennsylva-

no meningitis, no dysentery, no ma

which the State Department of Health
hopes ultimately to create. It does

History unfolded itself for solid hour

seventy children from several practice
schools depicted, in little homemade
plays, quite a goodly Bit of the things
that went on in the old days when the
world looked as if it had gone to a cos

The plays were all written by the
teachers of the practice schools. The

hands of Normal School girls.
The theater chosen for the presentation
of these stage stories was the assembly

"Story of Sigurd."
The first play The Story of
Sgurd," written by Miss Mary Darrah.
and presented by able actors and actresses
from grade A of the Thompson School.
1t was in the nature of a prologue to the
colonial scenes which followed.
The idea was that the story of Sigurd
and his marvellous, all-devouring sword
added q dash of the true Scandinavian
Viking Valhallan blood which later per-
colated into the fair-shnned conquerors
of the western world.
This playlet was seven minutes in
length by actual count. but had two
scenes and plenty of Wagnerian music
to help along the grandeur. AS teacher
explained. there was the Sword motif,
there was also the Regin motif. when the
little dwarf came on the scene with the
sword that conquered evil the Sigurd
motif and several other assorted motifs,
all purely Wagnerian.
Byron Judge, aged eleven, was an ex
celent Sigurd. He was fair-skinned, and
when he dressed up in long Wagnerian
opera cloak and carried a tinsel shield he
looked exactly like the skeleton in armor
must have looked when i'm the flesh.
The dwarf Regin gives Sigurd sword
early in the play.
What is this. Reagan asked Sigurd.
ITS a sooowar-r-r-d, Sea Grit, spoke
the dwarf out from his wealth of cotton
batting whiskers. From that moment ST.
gurd was all for conquering the evil
genius. {
The second act, that found Brunhiid
fast asleep on a rock, was SO pretty and
the youngsters did it so unconsciously
that 1t is shame it lasted only three
minutes. Brunhld was Scandinavian
goddess and no mistake. Also Elizabeth

the part. is an actress.

Need More Dollar Bills.

Washington, Dec. 9.-Congress will
soon be asked to permit the issue OF
dollar bills in largely increased guam
titles over the present output. Many
complaints have come to the treas
ury department, especially from the
west, as to the scarcity of dollar
bills, and this year, in an attempt to
supply the demand, the treasury has
been issuing 81 greenbacks for the
first time since 1885. While dollar
bills are plentiful in the east, and
silver dollars almost unknown, it is
almost impossible to secure currency
of this denomination in the western
states and the people have to content
themselves with the bulky silver
pieces. While the complainants do
not allege that this sort of money
is undesirable, collectors and others
who get large quantities of the silver
cartwheels find themselves at the end
of day tired with the weight of their
load.
