Elevators Fatal 10 Engagements.


 Ever notice that men who are jumping off of high buildings are often leaving notes behind telling their friends that they arc unhappy? That's another symptom.
 stenographer far up in the Carter building has been engaged three times since she began riding on elevators. She isn't engaged now, because she recently discoy- cred she wasn't in love.
 Can you imagine the temperament of tho girls who work in the Singer building and the Metropolitan tower in New York, tho home of the skyscraper?
 Can you conceive the warmth of the well come for man in the upper recesses of tho Woolworth building when it begins tower ing above the clouds?
 Imagine if you can the idiocy of the man who would make love to a girl on the fifty. fifth floor.
 Yes, married men and women, too. may suffer from altitude, but their suffering is not so keen because at some time their loy. has not been unrequited
 Horace Greeley has told the young man to go west. Science tells him, and h tells the young woman, to go down to the first floor, where love kindles and flames and keeps ablaze.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-10-20

But she will not escape. Love is fckle on the twentieth floor, and before she has drawn her pay she will find herself in the clutches of Mir. High Altitude, and, more sad to re- late, she will not know it.
 Where do actors loves succeed? On ''tho top floor of the Commercial building" as the program says? No. Right in the library of the girls home, or in the garden Build. CTS of plays must know that to be consistent,
 How is it, you ask, that man can make love on the top floor of the Commercial building? Only foolish men do, but it is because they have just come from below. The balmy atmosphere that enshrouds Mother Earth still fans him.
 Only men who work q" far from earth re- moved :" fail in love. They don't know love. And if they continue to work on top floors of tall buildings their dreams of hap piness will shrivel and die
 Temperature, so science says falls one degree with every 300 feet. With every foot upward depression grows. Blood thins 1, the heart weakens; the nerve center is af. fected; the entire system, in fact, succumbs to the altitude

+ Progressive Nomination in
Pencader without AUTHORITY

1t became known definitly yes
I arday that the nominations of John
W. Suddard and Adelbert Peel for
senator and representative on the
Progressive ticket Of Pencader
Hundred We're made without their
knowledge or authority. Both of
the gentlemen mentioned are high
ly pleased with the Republican
candidate for these offices in Pen
cader Hundred and have expressed
their intention Of giving them their
loyal support and votes.
The headquarters of the Progress
sive Party have been notified not
to use these names on the ticket. 1t
is the general opinion that their
refusal to indirectly aid the Demo-
cratic party, assures the success Of
the Republican candidate.

The New Horse
Disease in Kansas

The new horse disease in Kan
Sas seems to be almost identical
with the forage poisoning or spin
al meningitis that is more or less
prevalent i'll Delaware. DR.. kuhns,
Secretary OF the Delaware Live
Stock Sanitary Board. recommends
giving Fowler S solution Of arsenic.
one tablespoon twice day to
horses when they are first taken, as
at least affording some relief to
the diseased animal, although it
cannot be depended upon as "a cure.
A conference Of officials at Topeka,
Kansas, recently sent ou the fol
lowing recommendations:
|. That all horses and mules be
taken off pasture until the disease
disappears from the state.
2. Feed these animals limited
quantity of clean, dry hay or straw,
and clean, sound grain. Where
straw is given, use liberal supply
Of bran
3. Avoid use Of hay cut from
low or overfowed land or land re
ceiving drainage from the pasture
or barnyard.
4. See that the horses have Il
pure. wholesome, water supply,
free from surface drainage, and
that they are excluded from all
stagnant or surface water.
5. Empty, clean and thorough
ly disinfect all water troughs and
tanks by scrubbing out with solu-
ton Of four ounces of carbolic acid
in one gallon Of water, once week.
6. This disease is one that can
be controlled by strictly observing
the above sanitary measures. Some
horses will die after being fed on
dry feed, but horse owners should
not become discouraged, but should
continue to keep them off pasture
and provide proper feed and water
as recommended.
7. In our opinion no vaccine
against this disease has been fully
tried out. Good results appear to
have followd the use Of the vaccine
developed by the Agricultural
College and the State Live Stock
Sanitary Commissioner, but it is
vet in it's experimental stage. 1t
is strictly urged that the farmers
do not use any Of the commercial
vaccine offered. Many of them are
known to be worthless and some
are positively harmful. In case OF
am outbreak cooperation with the
Agricultural College in further
testing this vaccine is greatly to be
desired.
s. In any event, whether using
vaccine or not, it is important tt
follow the above directions with re-
spect to food and water.
9 Thus far no curative meas
ures by use Of drugs or medicines
have proven successful.

Delaware and Leb-
anon Valley Tie

Delaware College football team
showed much improvement in the
game with Lebanon Valley last Sat
urday and consequently held the
Annville boys to a 0 to 0 score. 1t
was the opening game of the season
on the home grounds. The grounds
We're put in shape on Friday by
George Stewart, who played on the
old gold and blue team several
years ago and who has been assist
ing III coaching the eleven. Mr.
Stewart had a roller run all over
the field and it was i'll good condi-
ton.
- Coach McAvoy made several
changes in the lineup and this
seemed to be beneficial but it was
the opinion of many who saw the
game, however, that with better
team work Delaware should have
won. Their opponents, however,
are execeptioally strong this season
and held Gettysburg to one touch
down. Coach McAvoy has hard
work to mold team into shape and
considering all the handicaps that
he has had to overcome has done
well.
The game was featured by slug
ging. Both teams were guilty OF
this otfense and as a result Wander
grift and Schiller Of Delaware,
and Huff of Lebanon Valley were
removed for slugging. The teams
were about evenly matched and
gained about the same amount OF
ground. Captain Huston and
Hirshman played star game. The
