WALKING.
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene by
Samuel G. Dixon, NJ. D., IL. D.,
Commissioner OF Health.

Nature intended the human an
imal to walk. From the dawn of
history until a century ago this
was the chief method Of locomo-
tion for the majority of mankind.
Among the multifarious inven-
tons of the last century were in
cIuded more new methods for the
transportation of men than had
been known in the previous his
tory of the human race.
The speed with which we can
be whisked about on train and
trolley is a thing which has
made possible our great cities.
To their perfection we owe mnch>
that is beneficial and some things
which are not. Among the lat
ter is the fact that we are forget
ting how to walk. How many
times have you heard people say,
our new house is most conven,
ient-just half a block from the
trolley" or you know we are
right at the elevated station"
Office and apartment buildings
with elevator service are most in
demand.
Walking has come to be looked
upon as a burdensome waste of
time by the majority of people.
A European traveller when asked
what most impressed him in this
country said, "the fact that your
laborers ride to and from work"
No one seems to walk if it is
possible to ride. The trolley,
railway and auto serve the ma
Jorlty OF us In the place of legs.
What is the result?
Thousands of business men and
women go day in and day out
with but fraction of the physi-
cal exercise which Nature in
tended that every human being
should have during his or her
waking hours. The easiest and
most natural Of all exercises is
neglected and often looked upon
as a positive hardship. Is itsur-
prising that our statistics show
remarkable increase in the num-
ber of deaths from Bright's dis
ease and kindred ailments which
result from over-eating and un-
der-eXercise.
Walk to and from work when
ever possible, and save doctor
bills as well as car fare. This is
rational exercise which you
need not fear over doing, and its
steady practice will improve your
digestion and insure more rest
full sleep and aid in increasing
your resistance to disease.

Sow Some Alfalfa.

If you have not sown your clo-
yer seed, by all means get a few
pounds of alfalfa seed and mix a
pound with the clover seed to
each acre. If your land is not
too sour from want of lime, a lit
tie of the seed will grow and de-
velop the bacteria so necessary
to a good stand of that plant.
Keep this up from year to year
and your land will eventually be-
come inoculated with healthy bac-
terra, so that when you wish to
sow field of alfalfa you will
stand ten times the chance of
getting a catch" There is lit
tie or no use in trying to grow al
falfa until your land is thorough
ly infected with the bacteria that
is known to be necessary for its
growth, and the plan of gradu-
ally injecting the land by the
foregoing method is cheap and
sure. The bacteria cultivated in
this manner becomes in a sense
natural to the soil and climate of
your farm. Try few pounds
this spring, and each year, and
by and by you will have the con-
ditions that make this grand feed
success.

TAKE CARE OF SNAKES.
None in Pennsylvania Should be War
tonIy Killed Except tlle Cop
perhead and Rather.

Deep-rooted as human preju-
dice against snakes has been ever
since the Divine curse was laid
on the serpent in the Garden of
Eden, it is not strange that most
| persons are slow to realize that
snakes actually have a position of
importance in the economic
scheme of nature, although teach
ings of science in recent years
have done much toward over
coming the prejudice. Three
men in Southeastern Pennsylva-
MIA, who figured in newspapers
with a large kill" Of harmless
snakes, attracted the attention of
Professor H. A. Surface, State
Economic Zoologist, and he
promptly wrote to the leader of
the group, offering copies of his
famous Snake bulletin" issued
several years ago, and making
the following suggestions:
81 believe that you have elfec-
ted considerable economic de-
struction in killing so many SER
pents of beneficial species. Our
native snakes certainly have their
important place in nature, and
one is not justified in slaughter
ing them wholesale. There are
but two species in this State that
are in any way venomous, and
these are the only ones of which
| recommend the killing. They
are the copperhead and rattle
snake, both of which are rare.
"The snake skin shows in the
picture that was published as
having been killed by you three
gentlemen are all of nonpoison-
Gus species, and, consequently,
all of beneficial species. | ear
nestly hope that after reading
the Serpent Bulletin you will feel
like devoting your attention tow
ard studying the habits Of these
creatures that are so little known
and making notes upon them that
will add to the knowledge and
welfare of mankind, rather than
merely blindly killing them, and,
consequently, adding to the mis-
cry of mankind by eXterminating
the creatures that help to hold in |
check some of our worst pests.
Il am aware that the tendency
of nearly all persons, as soon as
they see a snake, is either to be-
come so unreasonably frightened
at it as to stampede it in wild
haste, or become almost frantic
in their efforts to grasp a club
and kill it. This is due to natur-
al prejudice, and shows a lack of
knowledge of the fundamental
principles of natural history, and
especially Of that branch known
as economic zoology"

more, on Thursday of last week
aged about 2l years. The funer-
al took place on Saturday and in
terment was made in the ceme-
terry at the German Baptist
church on Pleasant Ridge. Rev.
j. c. Garland, assisted by Rev.
Ritchie, officiating at the servi-
ces.
During the last fifteen months
David had been working for AS
sociate Judge William Mellott
near Webster Mills, and about
ten days ago, he went over to
visit his brother Charles, and
while there was stricken with
pneumonia. He was an excellent
young man, and the large num-
ber of persons attending his fu-
neral bore evidence of the esteem
in which he was held.
He is survived by his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. George Fittery, of
Ayr township, and by the follow
ing brothers and sisters, namely,
Charles, near Needmore; Anon
and George, Ayr township; Mrs.
Harry Carbaugh, Ayr township,
and two boys and two girls at
home.
GROVER G. MELLoTT.
Grover c. Mellott, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Reuben Mellott, of
Bethel township, died in a Phila-
delphia hospital on Saturday,
March 7, 1914. His remains were
received at the home of his pa
rents on the following Tuesday
evening, and the funeral took
place on Saturday, interment be-
ing made at the cemetery at
Cedar Grove church.
For several months Grover had
been afflicted with a peculiar all
ment, which caused the loss of
his sight and hearing, and about
three weeks prior to his death he
was taken to a hospital in Phila-
delphia for treatment. A surgi-
cal operation was performed, but
it seemed that his condition was
beyond the power of human
agency to effect a restoration of
health, and death resulted as
aforesaid.
The deceased had been married
about two years, and his almost
distracted widow survives. They
had no children. Grover was
aged about 27 years, was an eX-
cellent young man, and his widow
and other relatives have the sin
cere sympathyof a host of friends
in this sad hour of affliction. He
is also survived by two sisters,
Lettie, wife of j. H. Grubb,
Thurmond, w. Va, and Laura,
in Philadelphia.

 We feel it our duty to call sns at- tention of the public 70 what we con- sider the inadequate supply of hfe- saving appliances provided for on mod ern passenger steamships, and recom- mend that immediate steps be taken to compel passenger steamers to carp sufficient boats to accommodate the maximum number of people carried ou board. The following facts were ob- served and should be considered in this connection. The insuhiciency Of nfe- boats, rafts, etc., lack of trained sea- men to man same (stOkcrs, stewards. etc, are not efficient boat haudlersJ. not enough officers to carry out ensT- gency orders on the bridge and BIper- intend the launching and control of hfeboats absence of seaTchlighta.

New York, April 1S.-The following statement issued by a committee of the surviving passengers was given the press on the arrival of the Carpathia
 We, the undersigned. surviving passengers from the steamship Titanic. in order to forestaJl any sensational or exaggerated statements, deem it our duty to give to the press a statement of facts which have come to our know ledge and which we believe to be true. Iceberg Not Reported Soon Enough
 On Sunday. April 14, 1912, at about 11.40 D. m, on a cold starlight night, in a smooth sea, and with no moon, the ship struck an iceberg which had been reported to the bridge by look outs but not early enough to avoid collision Steps were taken to ascer- tain the damage and save passengers and ship. Orders were issued to put on llf9belt and the boats were lowered. The ship sank at about 2.20 a. m. Monday and the usual distress signals were sent out by wireless and rockets fired at intervals from the ship. For tunaetly, the wireless message was re- ceived by the Cunarder Carpathia at about F o'clock midnight and she ar rived on the scene of the disaster about a. m. Monday.
 We'll Treated on Carpathia.
 "The officers and crew of the steam ship Carpathia had been preparing all night for the rescue and comfort of the survivors, and the last mentioned were received on board witn the most touch ing care and kindness, every attention being given to all, irrespective of class. The passengers, officers and crew gave up gladly their staterooms, clothing and comforts for our benefit, all honor to them!
 Enough Life Preservers for All.
 'The English board of trade passeu gers certificate on board the Titanic allowed for a total of approximately $500. The same certificate called for lifeboat accommodation of approXi- mately 95O on the following boats:
 Fourteen large boats two smaller boats and four collapsible boats. Life preservers were accessible and appar- ently in sufficient number for all on board.
