BILLY SUNDAY TO CONDUCT
MEETING IN WILKES-BARRE

The Ty Cobbs and Connie Macks
have nothing on Billy Sunday, the
ball player evangelist, when it comes
to drawing down big salaries. In
the baseball world Sunday worked
at a moderate salary, but in the
evangelical world he places a higher
value on his services.
Sunday has been engaged to con-
duct a revival service in Wilkes-Bar-
re in February. He will be there one
month, and in that period he expects
to convert sinners of Wyoming val
ley. For this single months work
he will get more money than many
star ball players get for an entire
season.
1t requires some effort to get the
ball player evangelist to come here.
He held out for salary and the
church people finally decided to meet
his wishes and will pay him $4,000
for his months work.

TYPHUS is TRACED TO THE
BODY LOUISE
Health Service Physicians Tell of
Finding Over Three Hundred
Cases of Disease

Washington, Sept. 25.-Dr. Jos.
Goldberger and DR.. John F. Ander-
son, of the Hygenic Laboratory,
United States Public Health Service,
to-day told the Fifteenth Interna-
tional Congress on Hygiene and
Demography they had traced typhoid
fever to the louise as a carrier and
that their Investigations had disclos-
ed nearly three hundred cases of the
disease in New York, as we'll as a
number in Chicago, Philadelphia,
Baltimore, and Washington, although
it was thought that typhus had not
visited America for many years.
The disease, however, was found
to be in mild form, but they said
| mild forms of disease become malig-
nant. Typhus fever is one of the six
diseases the United States considers
so dangerous that special quarantine
regulations have been issued against
it, The malady usually visits those
who live in crowded and insanitary
habitations and is a poor mans dis
| ease.
Why the louise should be the only
insect that carries typhus they have
been unable to determine. One of
| these insects which bites a patient
| during the fever period will be able
in about four days afterwards to give
the disease to any unfortunate vic
! tim he may chance to fasten upon.
| Experiments have shown also that
monkeys may contract the disease
| through the bites of lice.
Dr.. c. Adolphus Knopf, speaking
on the topic, Dental Hygiene for
the Pupils of Public Schools" de-
clared bad and decayed teeth were a
| disease of the masses as much as
tuberculosis, and as such must be
combatted, particularly in children
of school age.
After making an estimate that at
least three per cent. of all of the
children of school age of the United
States were tuberculous, and calling
attention to the last report of the
commissioner of education that there
were 20,000,000 children attending
public schools in the country, Dr.
Knopf declared there must be al
least 1000 tuberculous children
in urgent need of open air instruc,
ton" He quoted an estimate thai
the average life of the $4,000 chill
dren who die annually from tuber
culosis in the United States wai

Figuring the cost to the parents
and community at only $3.50 per an

A very pretty, early autumnal

church, Wednesday at high noon,
when Miss Blanche NJ, daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Nicholas Hessling, of
this place, and Edward j. McGinnis,

ingly attired in a gown of peach
colored messaline, trimmed with
cream silk lace and carried pink car
nations. The impressive ring cere-
mony was observed. AS the bridal
party entered the church, which was
profusely decorated with palms, yell

OPENING GAME IN WORLDS
SERIES.

New York, Sept. 25.-The world S
series baseball games are to begin
on Monday, October Z. This date is
said TO have been tentatively agreed
upon by the National Commission,
which meets here in a few days to
draft the plans for the games. The
data for the opening of the series
was based upon the assumption that
the New York Nationals and the
Boston Americans would win the
pennants in their respective leagues,
The Boston Club has already won
the pennant and the Giants expect
to win within the next ten days. The
playing season of the Boston Red
Sox and the New York Giants closes
on October 5, and one days rest be-
fore the big games is deemed suffi-
cient. An early start of the series
is desired, as the commission wants
to take advantage OF good weather

PROPOSED CHERRY RIDGE ROAD

The distance of the new Cherry
Ridge highway, which was recently
surveyed by Herbert L. Williams
and corps of surveyors, is only .63
of mile farther than the present
or old road. The new survey, ac-
cording to Mr.. Williams figures is
only AIS miles, while the road over
the hill is Alp miles. There is a
great advantage in the new survey
over the present road in that only a
little over a half-mile farther, it is
not as steep. 1t is the opinion of
several that the new survey would
be the ideal route to follow.

HIGH PRICES MEAN BUSINESS.
Reflect Trade Increases, Head of
Croker Wheeler Co. Saws,


DR.. Schuyler Skaats Wheeler, pres
ident of the Crocker-Wheeler Com
pany, thinks that the wonderful re-
cent increase in general business is
reflected in the tendency toward
higher prices, according to an inter-
view with him published in the Elec-
trical World.
=" The comparatively long dull
period just passed." says DR.. Wheel
er, has been utilized by the indus
tries in preparing plans for better
ments and expansions, but commit
ments have been avoided until re-
turning confidence and the approach
of better times were apparent. Then
followed a condition which can bet
ter be described as a stampede than
the normal accession of orders.
Therefore, at present we have
not only the worlds normal business
to take care of. but in addition we
have the orders resulting from all
the elaborate and wonderful plans
for better equipment with which the
managers of the country's industries
have been occupying their minds
through the three years of idleness.
The consequence is that prompt de-
liveries are being sought, but are
made with difficulty. Premiums for
the time element are the result"
