Marx 1,..in Heeded the voIco.

Mark Twair was quite at his best
as an after dinner speaker at the baI-
quet given i'll his honor some years
ago by the members of the Authors
club, Incidentally he told his amused
listeners the story of his first lapse
from the paths Of honesty. He was
very young at the time, he explained.
and the day was an exceedingly hot
once. AS he walked down the street OF
the village in which he was living he
saw a cart loaded with melons Of most
attractive appearance.

Curious Old leuend.

Here is a curious legend of Cologne.
Once upon a time there was burgo.
meister of the town whose wife died
and was buried. In the evening
thieves, seeking to take jewels from
the dead, opened the coffin. Now it
happened that the woman was not
dead. but in trance, and when the
thieves broke into her burial place she
awoke and went to her home. There
she called servant, who ran in fear
to his master and told him what had
happened. The scared burgomeister
replied to this. II would sooner believe
that my horses were looking out Of
the top floor window than believe that
such a thing could be-" Scarcely had
the words left his mouth than he
heard horses galoping up the stairs.
In memory of this and of the return
of his wife he had two horses heads
in stone set in top iloor window of
his house, where they remain to this
day.

Lawyers on a Strike.

Over 800 years ago one of the most
unusual strikes ever recorded took
place in Paris. when all the lawyers
walked out, so to speak. A law or
ordonnance was issued and promul-
gated by the French king Henry Ill.
ordering all lawyers to sign their
pleadings and to state the amount
they were charging their clients for
their services. This was done so thar
the lawyers could be properly and
sufficiently taxed on their income.
The lawyers objected. and the strike,
causing an entire stay of judicial pro
ceedings, followed. Peace was restor-
ed by the nonenforcement of the or
dominance, though it was not repealed.

HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY.
Breathing Through the Mouth.

Breathing Through the Mouth.
Breathing through the mouth
instead of through the nose. as
nature intended. is generally
caused by the swelling Of nor
NAL tissue in the nose or by
growths in the nose. such as
polypi. etc. and 10y the growth
In the throat of adenOids and
tonsils. The removal of these
Instructions by surgical means
is the only rational method to
secure natural breathing. This
is not dangerous. and injury to
the speech or singing voice new
er occurs. On the contrary,
through the presence Of these
Instructions in the nose and
throat the hearing and the in
tellectual and bodily develop
ment often become seriously i'm
paired.

with the life-saving serum. From
statistics it is gathered that without

And what of typhoid fever in view
of the work for pure water?
In 1906, out of every 100000 per
sons in Pennsylvania, Sos died of ty
phoid fever; in 1907, sos; in 1908
S4.4 in 1910, 245. There are now liv
ing more than 2400 persons who, hat
the death rate of 1906 prevailed il
1910, would have died from typhoid.
Results of Health Campaign.
Consider the economic value to tn,
state of such saving of life. The
most conservative economists place
the average value of such a life a
$4,000. This means that the reduction
in the death rate from typhoid fever
alone saved the commonwealth $1,000,
600. No account is taken in this esti
mate of the untold suffering and an
guish from which thousands of homes
were saved
Thousands of physicians throughout
Pennsylvania are being constantly
aided in diagnosing their cases by the
examinations of pathological speci
mems sent by them to the state depart
ment of health laboratories. Important
research work is being done by the
state in these laboratories, work that
Is adding to the worlds knowledge Of
preventative medicine.
More than once in the past few
years the federal government has held
up as model Pennsylvania system
for the collection of vital statistics
that phase of work that lies at the
foundation of all successful santa
ton.
All this has shown striking results
In 1906 the death rate in Pennsylva
mia per 1000 of population was 1876;
in 1908 ii had dropped to 15.7, and In
1910 to 1876. Bearing in mind Penn
sylvania's 7,655,000 population, this
decreased death rate, small as ii an
pears on its face, means in reality 2
tremendous saving of human lives
Had the death rate of 1906 prevailed ir
1908, the latter year would have wit
messed the death of 1914 more people
than died. Had this same rate ap
piled in 1910, instead of the decreased
percentage recorded by the depart
ment of health, 6S9S men, women and
children now living and presumably
in good health and spirits, would have
died.
Pennsylvania is reaping the benefits
of the state governments health cam
paign. This work will be continued
ans as more and more the people real
ize its blessings, will be attended by
even greater results.

A Retreat In Berks County.

Connecting the east and west wards
with the central building are corridors
that have enclosed Easements through
which the patients can walk to the
dining room in stormy weather, and a
first floor to be used for the open air
treatment. Here the patients may sit
in rest chairs and enjoy the sunshine,
and thus is overcome the necessity of
porches that would bar the sun from
the patients rooms. Into this sun cor
ridor also the patients bed csn be
wheeled. To economize by using the
same foundation and roof for as much
as possible, a second floor of each con
Meeting corridor will accommodate
twenty beds for hospital cases.
