How tuberculosis Spreads.

Just for instance: A young man
who had been clerking for years in
the basement of a urge department.
store developed coughl And he
was tired, so tired that his sister
suggested that he take vacation
in mid winter. She was a dress
maker, making good money, and
she thought he needed little rest.
So he got leave of absence and
changed from the unveptilated base
nent Of the store to the overheated
and equally unventilat:d fiat. To
be sure, he took an occasional walk
but most of the time he sat in the
back parlor reading, and when this
occupation palled, he went into the
work-room and chatted with the
women sewing on pretty frocks for
a score Of customers. And where
ever he went, he expectorated.
There was spittoon, dry spit
toon, i'll every room
But he got no better, the
cough-syrups did not cure and f.
nally he went to see doctor. The
doctor sent sample of this young
mans sputum to the laboratory
conducted by the board of health
and had it examined. When the
young man called again, he was
told that he had consumption. The
board of health was mortified of the
fact by the physician in charge OF
the case. The young man was sent
to a sanatorium for incipient cases,
the house was fumigated and the
dressmaker-mainstay Of the fam

plain truths about shipping out

Hope to Cure Cancer.
Scientists Find Disease and Trout
Area Coincide.

A strong hope of curing cancer,
or at least greatly ameliorating the
condition of cancer patients by
means of incubation, is held out in
the report of Harvey r. Gaylord,
director of the Cancer Laboratory
of the State Department of Health
at Buffalo, N. Y. This hope is
based on extended experiment ton
during tne past year i'll the ocula-
tion or vaccination Of various ami
mails, mainly rats, with the cancer
virus.
In considerable proportion Of
cases immunity was raised to a
point which cured i'll the proportion
of IS to 20 i'll rats. 1t might well
be applied to those cases of late
cancer i'll human beings, in which
surgery has nothing to offer and
the outlook is hopeless, the report
declares, adding:
The time has come when we
should begin experimentation with
human beings"
Other investigations Of import
ance conducted by the laboratory
have had to do with the prevalence
of many forms of cancer in fish and
the possibility of infection by hum
an beings. 1t has been found that
cancer of the thyroid, in particular,
is Of frequent occurrence i'll fish OF
the trout family.
'It is a very remarkable coinci-
dence," says the report, that the
area of the United States which in.
cludes the greatest concentration OF
human cancer cases is almost iden
teal with the area through which
the various members of the trout
family are distributed. "
Statistics are given to show that
cancer continues to increase. The
report says that in the United
States it has increased from 9 pei
100, 900 population in 1850 20 43 il
1900, an average of about 65 ii
1901, and an average CT more thar
70 i'll 1906.

Mitiln County Dry.

The Mifflin Court on Monday
refused all applicants for liquor
licenses, though the liquor element
proved, through the agent, Of the
Adams Express Company, that two
hundred gallons per day was fair
average cf the shipments into the
town during the period of no.
license, and another witness, testi-
fed that his experience showed
about so per cent. of the regular
shipments in the no-license period,
Following the regular argument
the Court announced that Associate
Judge Forest Swyers was in favor
of granting all licenses.
AT meeting of the hotel men
following the decision, they pledged
themselves to close their hotels to
the public, as under the present
existing high prices of the neces-
saries of life they say they cannot
afford to keep open and give the

Some Facts About HypnOtism.

mo competent exponent of hyp-
notism to-day believes that a per.
son is Inevitably obliged to execute
all hypnotic commands given him, "
says II. Arlington Bruce in the
Womaa'S Home Companion for
March. "And while some still cling
to the idea that hypnotic crimes
are possible, the consensus Of scien-
tjfc opinion is that no person who
would not i'll his normal state per-
petrate the crime suggested, would
perperate it if hypnotized.
1T is equally certain, though,
that under hypnotic inAu nee peo-
pie are liable to accuse the enselves
of crimes they have not committed
This is a real danger, which ough
to be carefully guarded against in
courts of justice.
There is reason to believe that
many police confessions eXtorted
from accused persons by the pro-
cesses of the so-called third degree
and alterward found to be untrue
are made in hyponotic State. The
persistent questioning Of the pris-
oner by the police, their pitiless in
sistence that he is guilty and
knows he is guilty. may develop
in him that peculiar hysterical con-
dition in which, as has already been
said, he may become spontaneously
hypnotized by an unexpected noise
or the sudden flashing of light"

Pink Hens Lay Rainbow Eggs.

How to change the color of a
pure white hen to pink and how
pink, red or other colored eggs may
be produced was one of the demon
stratlons successfully carried out
at the State College of Agriculture
at Ithica, N. Y.
Experiments of feeding hens
with rhodameride dye proved sue
cessful. One fine looking hen was
fed with this dye, during the molt-
ing season, and her feathers gradu-
ally changed from white to delicate
pink. The same coloring was mark
ed in the albumen of ner eggs.
BY the use of another dye con-
centric rings of red appeared in the
yolk of the eggs, which also were
made entirely red, and the demon
strators said that it would be pos
sible to produce other colors.
The authorities of the college
are considering turning out eggs
with the yolk red and the albumen
white, the colors of Cornell Univer-
sity, and using them to advertise
the State College of Agriculture.

LIME-sULPHUR WILL NOT IMPAIR
IRON KETTLES.
In reply to a Perry County far
mer, who wrote to Professor II. A.

burg, iuqui,ing whether an iron
kettle will be injured, if the lime
sulphur solution is boiled in it,
Professor Surface sent the follow
ing answer:
You can boil lime and sulphur
in an iron kettle without damaging
it for other purposes. Wash it
with hot vinegar after you are
through boiling, using scrubbing
brush, and then wash it with clear
water and dry it. Before putting
it away permanently, it would be
we'll to apply coat of oil or grease
to prevent rusting.
Il am frequently asked if an or
dinary iron kettle can be used foi
this porpose without injury to it
and take this occasion to say that
the lime-sulphur wash will not Sc
riously affect any metal excepting
copper. Copper kettles should not
be used, as the copper will be dis
solved and the kettles ruined
Common iron kettles, such as are
used in butchering, or even ordina'
ry galvanized iron wash tubs Car
be used successfully in boiling lime
sulphur wash. 1t is not necessary
to boil the entire barrel full of this
mixture at one time. Eight OF ter
or mo. gallons of the material car
be prepared in the concentrated
form and then diluted TO fifty gal
Ions by adding water after boiling

SHAD WILL BE PLENTY.
That is What Somebody Sees in Pres
ent Indications.

According to present indications
shad will be plentiful when the reg.
uiar season arrives this spring. Al
ready large catches are reported
along the coast of the Carolinas,
while Charleston shad, secured in
rivers of partly fresh water, are an
noun:ed to arrive shortly. Shad
now coming from southern points
'are of exceedingly fine flavor, the
meat is solid and prices are not ex-
cessive. AS the storms of the win
ter decrease in severity shad grad
ually find their way to cold, fresh
northern waters, in which they
thrive wonderfully. Within six
weeks, with favorable weather,
these favorite fish will be more
plentiful in the wholesale markets
at much lower prices and an in
creased demand.

RANKIN Is DISAPPOINTED.
Canal Company Elects New Trustees
and Turns Down RanlSin's Propos-
ed Change in Bylaws.

Shareholders in the Selah- Mckee
canal company held prolonged
and heated meeting in the council
chambers of the court house Mon
day afternoon and elected new
board of trustees, all of them it Is
understood, being opposed to George
S. Rankin, who for number of
years has been a power in the hand
ling of the canals affairs. In the
meeting Monday Mr.. Rankin's rep
resentative endeavored to secure a
change in the bylaws of the organi-
cation which would permit of more
water being delivered to the land
above the ditch. than to that below.
The change was not made.
Today the new board of trustees
which consists of Messrs. E. r. Moore,
John Ham, and w. M. Carr will meet
in the office of Roberts & Udell for
organization. 1t is understood that
the fiume around the Mckee hill will
be repaired and such other improve
ments made as the coming season
shall necessitate.
The Rankin holdings in the Mckee
aggregate about $500 acres all of
which are dry. To get water for this
land, a pumping proposition is re-
quired but the water is not forth
coming at present according to the
decree of the stockholders.
