Inquire About the Water.

For persons who have not TAX
en- the anti-typhoid vaccination
as a protection during the sum-
mer vacation, the department of
health has issued a bulletin con-
tanning the following advice.
When investigating a vaca-
tion resort, ask especially about
the water supply and the meth
ods employed in disposing of sew
age and garbage. Avoid any
community in which typhoid fe-
yer is common.
While on your vacation make
sure of the water you drink.
Water which is clear and spark
ling is by no means always pure
or uncontaminated. Water from
shallow wells near outhouses or
stables is apt to be polluted. Wa
ter from lakes or streams into
which sewage flows is also quite
liable to be contaminated. The
safest plan is to use only boiled
water for drinking purposes.
Look into the milk supply,
too, a common source of danger.
Make sure that the milk is pure
clean and fresh.
DO not battle in lakes or
streams near the outlets of sew
ers.
Avoid boarding places that
swarm with fies.',.

Hot Weather Drink.

One Of the most refreshing
drinks within the reach of coun-
try people is egg-lemonade. II
is successfully used in case of ex-
haustion from heat. Keep a few
lemons on hand in a cool place in
a tight jar. Squeeze the juice of
a lemon into a Mason fruit jar;
add half a pint of the coldest wa
ter you can get. If ice water
cannot be had, cool the jar first
to help make the drink cool,
sweeten as for lemonade; break
a fresh, raw egg into the lemon
ade, put on the rubber jar ring
and the cap, but not too tight;
hold jar top end down over the
sink, and shake hard until egg is
beaten to a froth; pour through
a fine cheese cloth or strainer and
give to the patient to drink. The
lemon cooks" the egg and he
does not know that he is drink
ing raw egg the best nourish-
ment in the world.

THE FATAL FOURTH.
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene by
Samuel G. Dixon, NJ. D., IL. D.,
Commissioner of Health.

Thousands of small boys have
been practicing an unwonted
thrift for days past in order that
they may express their patriot
ism by prodigal expenditure of
their money on July 4th.
TheState Department of Health
is also making its preparations
by ordering a special supply of
tetanus antitoxin in the effort to
prevent cases Of lock- jaw among
these same small boys.
There are a great many grown
ups, who having been permitted
to run the risk of blowing them
selves up in their youth and not
having succeeded, believe that
their sons and their neighbors
should be given the same glorious
privilege. This excess of SYM
pathy should be reserved for
those children who are unfortun-
ate enough to lose their hands or
their eyes or life itself in their
celebration"
Last year Pennsylvania had
more accidents on the Fourth of
July than any other State in the
Union. Nine deaths and 4S2 ac-
cidents were reported for the day
in this Commonwealth. In the
entire United States there were
only 1853 accidents and 80 deaths,
so it is evident from the most
casual observation that Pennsyl-
vania had far more than her quo
ia in this distressing and unnec-
essary sacrifice.
Let the municipal authorities
do their part in preventing the
barbaric sacrifice by prohibiting
the sale and use of dangerous
fireworks by providing a sufIici-
ent amount of pleasurable enter
tainment to make the day a real
celebration for young and old.

Rare Opportunity,

Prof. W. F. Hughes, of Phila-
delphia, expects to be in town
next week for the purpose of Civ
ing a course of practical lessons
in botany. A class is now being
organized, and Prof. Hughes will
take the class out through field
and forest, and teach the names
and qualities of our native flora.
That there is a woeful ignorance
on the part of, even, many of our
otherwise intelligent people, o f
plant life and growth, is an un-
deniable fact. Only a compara-
lively few people can GO away
from home and take advantage
of instruction in this most fasci-
mating and useful O f studies.
To have a scholarly Instructor
like Professor Hughes come into
our community is an opportuni-
ty so rare, that scores of our
younger and older people, too,
should join the class. Professor
Hughes conducted a class here a
few years ago; and those who
were in the class then, are the
most enthusiastic now, and the
first to enroll their names in the
present class. Persons desiring
to join the class should leave
their names at the News office,
or give them to Robert Jackson.

Fire In SharpSburg.

On Sunday afternoon 18th inst.
the warehouse and stable of w.
j. Moore, in Sharpsburg, Pa, g.,
was almost totally destroyed by
fire.
The building was a two-story
frame structure and in part of
the second story much hay was
kept and this sent forth great
volumes of smoke which render
ed the work of the firemen diff
cult.
Mr.. Moore was able to get his
horse and wagon out before the
flames reached their department
of the building and some consid-
cradle plumbing supplies were
saved from the flames.
The damage done by the fire is
estimated at 81, 500 with no insu-
rance. Mr.. Moore is the husband
of Susie Hull, a sister of Mrs. D.
A. Nelson, Of the Cove.

Had Hard Fall.

On Friday morning of last week
Mrs. Rebecca Stenger, of Jug
town, climbed to the top of the
wash house to pick some cher
ries that overhung the roof. She
was on top of the chimney when
a stone broke loose and she fell
fifteen feet to the ground. For
tunately, the limbs of a pear tree
broke the force of the fall, and
she escaped with no more SER
ious injuries than painful bruises
and a severe shock.

Mode, Not Man, Changes.

George Finiff, who resides at
present with his daughter, Mrs.
John Helman, at the toll
gate west Of town, has voted the
democratic ticket for sixty-one
years. He says he has yet to be
ashamed of his party. Mr.. Fin
if is eighty-two years young,
and enjoys talking over events
that happened along the old pike
three quarters of a century ago
comparing the modes of travel in
those days with the swift autos
that have brought the pike once
more into much-used, trans
state highway. He is one of the
very few remaining citizens
whose memory can bridge the in
terval since the time before the
advent of railroads and that of
the still later vehicle of rapid
transit-the auto. Have people
in general changed much since
the day Of stage coaches? Thou
sands of years ago Solomon said,
The glory of young men is their
strength; but the beauty of old
men is their gray head" Modes
Of living have not changed hu-
man nature. Those of us who
may live to see the year 1876 will !
speak of the days before the ad-
vent of autos and flying machines
and the strength of youth and
he beauty of the wise old head
will still mark two chief periods

TIE CIGARETTE LAW.
Any Minor Caught Smoking May Be
Made Tell Where lie Got
the "COffin Nail"

letter from one Of our county
merchants asking us to publish
the law regulating the use and
sale of cigarettes. This merchant
handles tobacco, but he wants to
comply with the law. We gladly
publish the law as it was enacted
on the 18th day of May, 1913, and
repeals all other acts inconsistent
with this; and of course, it is the
law in effect now. 1t should be
read carefully-not only by deal
ers in tobacco, but by others as
well. The selling or the giving
Of a cigarette or cigarette paper
to any person under the age of
twenty-one years, renders the one
doing so liable to prosecution un-
der the law-this is true whether
it be boys youthful companion,
his father or mother, or his
preacher. No one is allowed to
furnish in any manner whatever
cigarettes or cigarette paper to
minors. And the boy who ap-
pears in public with a cigarette
in his mouth, must not forget
that he can be arrested and made
to tell where he obtained the
cigarette or cigarette paper, or
go to Jail. But here is the law:
read it for yourself. You may
also find it in the Pamphlet Laws
of 1913, page 1913; and boys, do
not forget that you are minors
until you are q years Of age.
Section l. Be it enacted, &C.,
That any person who shall fur
nish to any minor, by gift, sale,
or otherwise, any cigarette or
paper, shall be guilty Of |
a misdemeanor, and upon convic-
ton thereof shall be sentenced to
pay fine of not less than one
dollars ($100.0O), nor
more than three hundred dollars
($30O.OO).
Section 2. Any minor, being
in possession Of a cigarette or
cigarette paper, and being by
and police officer, constable, ju-
venile court officer, truant Off
,er, or teacher in any school,
asked where and from whom
such cigarette or cigarette pa
Der was obtained, who shall re-
use to furnish such information,
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor:
md upon conviction thereof, be-
ore any alderman, magistrate,
II justice of the peace, such mi
Tor, being of the age of sixteen
ears or upwards shall be SEN
enced to pay a fine of not ex-
.eeding five dollars or to under
70 an Imprisonment in the Jail of
he proper county not exceeding
i've days or both. If such minor
hall be under the age Of sixteen
ears, he or she shall be certified
" such alderman, magistrate, or
ustice to the juvenile court of
he county for such action as to
aid court shall seem proper"
1t will be noticed that teachers
n any school are classed with
onstables, and police officers,
nd it is not only their privilege
'ut their duty to apprehend any |
nd every minor seen violating
his law. S
