new ARMY BILL
Continued from Page u

list on Oahu, with the bonus jingling
in his pocket. If his regiment was
then ordered back to New York, he
would get travel pay from there back
to Oahu, at the expiration of his sec
Ond enlistment.
This looks like easy money" bat
these are extreme cases. and in the
main the plan worked fairly for both
sides. Now the travel money is cut
in two, but the soldier, if he so de-
sires, will be taken home free of
charge by the government.
New Staff Corps. =.
BY far the most important prOvi-
sion of the bill, from the standpoint
of the whole army, is the consolida-
ton of the quartermaster, subsis-
tence and pay departments into, one
body, to be known as the quartermas-
ter corps. This hits every officer in
the service, for it means that there
will be less officers needed to run one
department combining the offices Of
three, than to run three, and that
consequently there will be fewer de-
tails from the line, and fewer Vacan-
ging of promotion.
The permanent officers in the three
departments will get advancement just
as though the consolidation had not
occurred for, until all permanent staff
+ officers are wiped out by death or re-
tirement, three separate lists will be
maintained for promotion purposes.
At present three brigadier generals,
Aleshire, Sharpe and Whipple, are at
the head of the quartermaSterS, sub
SiStance and pay departments reSpec-
! lively The plan, as understood here,
is to make the senior of these three,
Sharpe, a major general and give him
the title of quartermaster general, as
head of the quartermaster corps, with
the other two brigadiers as deputy
quartermasters general. On the retire
ment of these general officers, the
head of the corps would again become
a brigadier general, and his deputies
hold the rank of colonel.
Major Cheatham Approves.
Il believe that the consolidation is
good thing and for the best interests
of the service" said Major B. Frank
Cheatham, chief quartermaSter of this
department. AT the present time the
quartermasters and cOmmissary de-
partments are duplicating many OF
their purchases, and there is endless
red tape to unravel. Captain Case
buys a sack of beans and he has to
come to us to get it shipped to Scho-
field Barracks. And so it goes. Every
one in Washington was in favor Of the
change when ! left a few months ago.
OF course it will take a long time t"
straighten the plan out, and get all
three departments merged into one.
but certainly the experiment is worth
trying"
Major Cheatham said that the APP
preparation bill. SO far as he knew,
contained no direction mention OF
SchOfield Barracks, but that his de-
partment hoped to get slice OF the
general allotment for barracks ana
quarters, to finish work on the First
Infantry most

Alaskan Reindeer.

In casting about for stock suit
ed to the climate of Alaska, rein
deer were selected by the United
States, and in 1902, l, ,2S0 of these
hardy little animals were import
ed and placed on grazing lands
in that country. The deer were
distributed among the natives
who were paid for attending
them, and the herd now num-
bers about $4,000. The native
attendants receive a few deer
each year as part pay for their
work. The deer are broken to
draw sleds with a load of $50
pounds, or man of that weight
and can travel forty of fifty miles
in a day. The flesh furnishes
food, and the skins most excel
lent clothing, soft, pliable, and
very warm. 1t is estimated that
the territory adapted to raising
reindeer will support 10000, 900
deer.
When dressed, the deer will
average $50 pounds in weight,
and meat sells wholesale in the
local markets Of that country at
about % cents per pound. 1t is
thought that reindeer meat will
eventually find its way into the
markets of this country at prices
very little if any higher than
beef will cost by that time, since
each year sees advances in the
price of that article in the Unit
ed States.

Mann--.PaImer.

On February "a, Mr.. Charles
H. Mann, of Saluvia, this county
and Mrs. Madaline E. Palmer, of
'Vineland, N. j., were united in
marriage at the M. E. parsonage
Vineland, N. j., by the Rev. De-
Naris, pastor of the bride. Only
the immediate members of the
two families were in attendance,
the maids of honor being Mr..
Mann's two daughters, Misses
Anna and Marian, and the brides
sister, Miss Henrietta Conant.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mann then spent a
day in Philadelphia, came to this
place on the following Thursday,
and on Friday continued their
journey to their future home at
Saluvia, where Mr.. Mann enjoys
the confidence, respect and pat
ronage of a large circle of friends
at his store, in connection with
which he is postmaster, of the
Saluvia office.
The bride is a most estimable
lady, cultured, and has an init
mate acquaintance with many
parts of the United States, hav-
ing travelled much. Mr.. and
Mrs. Mann announced while here
that they would be at home at
Saluvia, to friends after March
first; and that at some period
during next summer, or next fall
they would remove to st. Cloud,
Florida, where Mr.. Mann owns
land which he will plant to semi
tropical fruits. We join with a
host of friends in wishing them
much happiness and prosperity.

Bought Land in Florida.

Mr.. C. H. Mann, merchant and
postmaster at Saluvia, this coun-
ty, returned to his home last Fri
day, after having spent a month
in Florida where he purchased
several lots in the growing town
of st. Cloud, and ten acres of fine
fruit land close by. st. Cloud is
only four years old, but has a
population of 1900. 1t is situa-
ted about IT'S miles south of Jack
sonville, on the Atlantic Coast
line railroad, and is twenty-five
miles inland from the Atlantic
ocean. Lying close to the town
is a beautiful freshwater lake,
six by eight miles in dimension,
and with beach and bottom of so
solid material that when Mr..
Mann and a friend drove their
horse and buggy into it they
found no mud or sediment of any
kind. Bathing in the lake is
therefore a favorite sport Of the
town people.
Unlike the western coast of
Florida, the soil is not too sandy
for profitable culture of almost
an endless variety of vegetables
and fruits, including not only
those of the temperate zone, but
those of the semi-tropical, and
many of the tropical plants. Mr..
Mann made several trips to Flo
rida before making his purchase,
and feels sure that he has select
ed one of the very finest spots in
that famous state.
We distinctly remember when
Mr.. Mann went through this
place a month ago, on his way
to Florida, that he mentioned
having a suit of clothes along in
which to pick oranges. Well, if
he calls the specimen he picked,
an orange" then we have no
fault to find; for his enthusiasm
for orange land is only exceeded
by his love for vine land.

RenOyating Old Orchards.

1t has been a surprise to many
that old orchards can, at little
expense, be made almost good
as new." If strictly scientific
methods are desired, write to AS
sistant Agriculturist, A. B. Ross,
Schellsburg, Pa, or the State
Agricultural Department at Har-
risburg, and full, and easily fol-
lowed directions will be sent free
of charge.
Briefly the method consists of
a system of top pruning, and the
enriching of the soil by methods
very similar to those given for
crops of other kinds; but to any
one not familiar with the selec-
tion of suitable materials, we rec
ommend that the advice of ex-
perts be asked and followed.

Advance in Cattle.

AS an illustration Of the ad-
vance in price Of cattle, the fol-
lowing from the Valley Spirit of
last week is good.
"Auctioneer Bender had a note
worthy experience at the Harry
Ross sale, near Fayetteville, on
Tuesday. A cow was offered
there that Mr.. Bender had sold
at the Adam Muterpaugh sale
September II, 1902. The COW
then had her eighth calf by her
side and was sold for $25. The
COW was sold Tuesday for $23
and is now bearing her twentieth
calf. The COW has a record of Is
pounds of butter per week. A
pair of mules was sold there for
$3.50 and cows sold from $29 to
1858. So"

State Forestry.

In a letter enclosing a dollar
for subscription to the News, Mr.
T. Roy Morton sent a map of the
State which shows the location
and extent of the lands purchas-
ed by the State for forestry pur-
poses. Mr.. Morton son of Judge
Morton of this place is a State
Forester, andis located at Peters
burg, six miles west of Hunting
don.
The map shows that the State
owns practically all of the Allie
gheny mountains from a point
near Altoona extending in a north
easterly direction to the Susque-
hama river at Williamsport, in ad
dition to many thousands of acres
in the mountainous parts of the
State, this county coming in for
a good sized slice off of the north
eastern corner.
The average cost per acre for
this land is 1925, and tits expect
ed that the State Forest lands
will become not only self sustain
ing eventually, but pay a hand
some return for money expended
in re-foresting and protecting
them from fires and wanton des-
truction by lumbermen.

FAKE CURES AND FOOLISH PEOPLE.
Little, Talks on Health and Hygiene by
Samuel G. Dixon, NJ. D., IL. D.,
Commissioner of Health.

We are continually reading of
the gullible individuals who in
vest their money in all manner of
get rich quick schemes. These
poor dupes are the laughing stock
of sensible men and women, who
wonder how they could be misled
by the exaggerated promises
of fake promoters. For every
individual who invests with these
unscrupulous financial h arks
there are a dozen equally gullible
people who throw away their
money and risk their health and
happiness by investing in fake
cures. A man may lose his mon
ey and be none the worse for it
in the long run if he profit by
his experience, but the use Of
consumption cures, soothing syr-
ups, spring tonics and cure alls
of every description is fraught
with genuine danger. Often
times these quack remedies con-
tain habit forming drugs, The
ailing men and women who trust
to these and delay consulting an
experienced physician are trifing
with their most precious possess
sion-health.
Physicians of profes sional
standing do not advertise. Any
man who elaine in print or else
where that he has an unfailing
cure for the ills of humanity
should be regarded with the ut
most suspicion. Travelling quacks
advertising under tn ir own
names or as medical Institutes"
should be strictly avoided. They
prey upon the weak and ailing.
The majority of their advertise
ments begin with extravagant
promises of free treatment, and
in the long run they usually sue
ceed in fleeing their patients out
of far more than a regular ply
sician would have charged to at
tend the case. Ninety-nine times
out of ahundred the poor patients
are worse off than they were in
the beginning. All too often
there is a tragic ending. Medi-
cal ethics require a physician to
give freely to the world all dis
coveries which may benefit hu-
manity. This is rigidly adhered
to by all physicians of any pro-
fessional standing. The estab-
lished physician like the estab-
lished merchant depends for his
livelihood upon his reputation for
fair dealing and his ability as a
practitioner.

Big Concern Bars Booze.

The American Tinplate Com
pany, a subsidiary of the United
States Steel Corporation, h a S
notified its many thousands of
employees that they must not
use Intoxicating beverages, must
sever their connection with any
club that maintain sideboards or
bars, and must not sign any ap-
plicant's petition for license.
Thus, one by one, are the big
employers throwing their weight
intosthe balance against an evil
that robs working men of their
power to earn a livelihood for
their families, and to lessen the
suffering of thousands of inno-
cent women and children who de-
pend upon their employees for
daily bread.

Home CannerieS

A few citizens have expressed
a desire to know more about the
cost of canning furnaces suitable
for the joint use of several fami.
lies who have a surplus of fruits,
berries, etc. We hope, in a few
days, to be able to give out in
formation that will be satisfacto-
ry.
There is no doubt whatever,
that the ladies of this county
could make tidy sums each sum-
mer if they had an outfit such as
can be had at a reasonable price,
and located at a point convenient
for each member of the club
owning it.
Cans of various sizes can be
had in largs quantities, at whole
sale prices, and a market found
through some local merchant in
terested in the welfare of his
community by calling to his aid
his city commission merchant.
Profitable enterprises frequent
ly grow from small beginnings
like the foregoing. All it needs
here is some community to make
the start.

Be on Safe Side.

Like learning the multiplica-

ton of facts fixes them in our
minds for future use. For this
reason the State Board of Health
is again calling attention to pa
rents to the danger to babies
when fed on milk from COWS that
are infected with tuberculosis,
and advises that parents keep on
the safe side by making sure that
the source of supply is free from
this disease, as well as free from
other troubles that arise from
the use of milk from filthy and
unsanitary stables.
