James ]. Harmon Gets
FOrtieth Revenue Stamp.

James j. Harmon proprietor OF
Harmon hotel in Overton, yester-
day came to Towanda to secure his
fortieth revenue license stamp.
For forty years Mr.. Harmon has
been proprietor of the Harmon Ho-
tel at Overton, Forty times he
has come to Towanda for his
annual revenue license; forty times
he has climbed the same steps
leading to the Office of the U. S.
Commissioner Mix in the Mercu1
block; forty times has he paid his
money to Revenue Collector Craw-
ford and forty times has he re-
ceived the stamp which makes
him solid with Uncle Sam. On
every one of these forty annual
trips for his revenue license he has
met q. S. Commissioner Mix, as
we'll as collector Crawford, and a
pleasant visit has been a part of
the deal. Mr.. Harmon has every
one of the forty stamps and says he
is going to keep on saving them.
He is unquestionably the most
original hotel man in the state.
He keeps an excellent country
hostelry, caters to the wants of
man and beast and never forgets
his duty toward his community.
Whenever there is celebration,
picnic or other special event, in
Overton or vicinity Mr.. Harmon
closes his barroom, puts the key in
his pocket and joins the crowd.
One would naturally suppose that
it would be big day in the bar
room, but instead there is "noth-
ing doing in the drink line.
Revenue Collector Crawford says
that in the entire country he does
not believe that there is a similar
case. e.-Towanda Review.

PNEUMONIA.
lie Best Friend 10 Bad Cold That Has
Been Neglected.

Been Neglected.
Pneumonia is not dreaded mere
ly for its power to seize and kill
quickly, but also for its apparent
power to select the most unlikely
victims. Most persons have lived
through the shock of hearing that
some friend had suddenly died of
pneumonia friend from whom
they had parted but few days or
even hours before, leaving him at
what seemed the highest notch of
physical well being and perhaps
protesting that he did not know
what illness meant.
This disease is most dangerous to
the apparently strong, robust peo-
pie of heavy weight and hearty ap-
petite, although it may attack any
one, for its germs are omnipresent.
The strong and full blooded indi-
vidual who is at the same time
something overweight is especially
in danger of pneumonia and should
take particular care to avoid it. If
his diet is too heavy--and that may
safely be assumed-it should be
ruthlessly cut down, especially as to
meat and the elimination of alcohol.
The weighing scale is a good
friend to such person and should
be consulted regularly. The scale
does not argue about that extra
pound or two-it proves it-and aft
er weight in accordance with age
and height has been determined it
can be maintained in most cases by
the exercise Of a little self control.
There are hosts of people who in
dolently permit themselves to get
heavy and even fat in the winter
months. They are the people who
should be constantly reminded,
"The pneumonia germ ii git yer if
yer don't watch out"
The condition of the man must
be recognized as more important
than the presence of the germ, as
proved by the fact that there is less
mortality among the thin and ap-
parently delicate than among the
stout and full blooded.
Some of the phrases used by the
laity on this subject have, after all,
more sense than nonsense in them.
1t is said that some one is "threat-
ened with pneumonia" or that
''bad cold ran into pneumonia" and
in sense it is true, for every one is
threatened" with pneumonia; that
is to say, the germ is always present
and ready and willing to begin its
work if one only gives it chance.
The most successful way to give
it chance is to neglect a bad cold
and thus break down the natural
defenses of the system. If every
bad cold were met with starvation,
physic and fresh air it would de-
part in disgust, and the lurking
pneumonia with it, for the large
burglar cannot get in through a
hole which has refused to admit the
smaller one.-Youth's Companion.
