In the majority of cases, these oc-
cur in localities where it is difficult
to obtain the prompt aid of a physi-
clan and every minute is of vital i'm
portance when a drowned man is to
be resuscitated. Hence everybody
should be familiar with the methods
of reviving the drowned. They are
comparatively simple and can readily
be learned.
DR.. Dixon, Commissioner of
Health, has issued a Bulletin set
ting forth clearly and concisely the
methods of recovery and resuscita-
ton in cases of drowning. 1t is pro-
fusely illustrated with excellent
photographs. Everyone who loves to
swim should obtain a copy of this
valuable little pamphlet and add to
his store of practical knowledge, the
methods of reviving the drowned. 1t
should find it's way to every boat
club fishing and hunting camp in
the State. A postal card addressed
to the Commissioner Of Health,
Harrisburg, will bring a copy free OF
cost to anyone in Pennsylvania.

DIR. DIXON WORKING FOR THE
BOYS INTEREST.

The season is at hanu wnen low
whistle and a mysterious raising OF
the first two fingers of the right
hand will cause any small boy to
glide stealthily around the corner
and setand set forth in company with
his bare-footed tempter for the
nearest swimming hole.
"Oh the old swimmin'-hole! In the
long. hazy days
When the hum-dum of school made
so many runaway,
How pleasant was the journey down
the old dusty lane
Where the tracks of our bare feet
was all planted so plain
You could tell by the dents of the
heel and the sole
They was lots of fun on hands in the
old swimmin' hole"
The fashionable watering places
may be we'll enough for the socially
elect but the rivers and creeks must
serve for the majority and the OBJ
servant traveller can testify that the
old swimming holes have not been
deserted.
OF course every boy and girl
should learn to swim and most OF
them do but sometimes the less skill
full fall victims to their inexperience
Drowning accidents are all too com
mon at this season of the year and
there is scarcely community in
the state that does not have one OF
more to record during the summer
season. Last year there were near.
ly 500 fatal accidents of this char.
acter throughout the state.

Keep the flies away from the sick,
especially those i'll with contagious
diseases. Kill every fly that strays
into the sickroom. His body is COW
cred with disease germs.
DO not allow decaying material of
any sort to accumulate on or near
your premises.
Screen all food and insist that
your grocer, butcher, baker and
every one from whom you buy food
stuffs does the same.
Don't buy foodstuffs where flies
are tolerated.
Don't eat where flies have access
to food.
Keep all receptacles for garbage
carefully covered and the cans
cleaned or sprinkled with oil or
lime.
Keep all stable manure in vault or
pit, screened or sprinkled with lime,
oil or other cheap preparations, as
98 per cent. of the flies come from
stable manure and 2 per cent. from
garbage and other filth.
Keep the streets and alleys clean.
See that your sewage system is
in good order; that it does not leak,
is up to date and not exposed to
flies.
Pour kerosene into the drains.
The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1912-08-09
RULES FOR DEALING WITH THE FLY NUISANCE

Burn pyrethrum powder in the
house to kill the flies or use a mix
ture of formaldehyde and water, one
spoonful to quarter pint of water.
This exposed in the room will kill
all the flies.
Burn or bury all table refuse.
Screen all windows and doors, es-
pecially in the kitchen and dining
room.
If you see flies you may be sure
that their breeding place is in nearby
filth. II may be behind the door,
under the table or in the cuspidore.
Remove all refuse and filth from
house, yard and outhouses and thus
prevent flies from breeding on your
premises.
If there is no dirt and filth there
will be no flies.
IF THERE is A NUISANCE IN
THE NEIGHBORHOOD WRITE AT
ONCE TO THE HOMES d A L e
BOARD OF HEALTH.
" Health is wealth." and an
ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure"
There is more health in a house
we'll screened than in many a doc
tors visit.
The only safe way is to keep out
the flies.

II NEW VOTERS.

Nearly 5000, 900 new voters, accord.
ing to an estimate th a t appears high,
will present themselves at the polls
next November.
These new millions were girls and
boys in 1896. They have never known
the solemnity Of a crisis in government
and politics. The political experience
of 1896 to them seems ancient history,
says the Spokesman-Review
They will determine the outcome OF
the election. They possess the v an
tage of freedom from the influence OF
the dead Issues Of the dead past. But
they suffer from the handicap of In.
experience in politics through moi
having participated in the settlement
OF those issues. Their fathers though
themselves new voters 10 1896, were
not similarly handicapped by ~inexperi'
ence, because the political ideas o.
the country still ran in old channels
OF thought and and action aud these
forces helped in reaching q decision

But the political Issues OF today turf

than did those Of 1896 and party tie
sit lightly on voters. The factor
that assisted new voters then are ab

COLLEGE

Whether a man has a college
education or not matters very lit
tie. Information is the impor-
tant thing-indeed, the essential
thing. He may acquire it at
college or he may acquire it
somewhere else. If the college
professors are good instructors
college life ought to shorten the
process of acquiring information;
but, in my judgment, a teacher,
like a poet, is born, not made.
l value highly the benefits which
l derived from certain of my
college professors. Some Of
them were most excellent teach
ers and trainers Of youth, some
of them misfits. One Of the very
best and most serviceable Of all
my instructors was a drunken,
strolling Englishman, but he was
a born teacher. There is a great
deal of time wasted ut college
by studying things which can be
Of very little service to the av-
erage citizen. The average col
lege curriculum in the United
States needs overhauling. A
youth who has not the advan-
tages of a college education,
whatever they may be, and they
are many, can pursue his studies
with great success If he has an
acquaintance who can direct him
what to study. The college pro-
fessor who does not arouse in
his pupil a love of learning is not
worth his salt.-Champ Clark.
