May Ship Poultry.

When the state of Pennsylva-
MIA, along with others, was put
under quarantine for hoof and
mouth disease, the shipment OF
poultry to other states was for
hidden. Since parts of the state
including Fulton county have
been released from quarantine,
poultry may be shipped to New
York and to other places in which
our readers have been accustom-
ed to sell turkeys, &c.
Some time ago we wrote the
State Livestock Sanitary Board
asking if there were any restric-
tions applicable to Fulton county,
and if so, what were they? The
Board referred our letter to the
United States Department of Ag-
riculture, and we received the
following reply: with refer.
ence to the shipment of poultry
from Fulton County, Pa, to New
York, would advise that under
the present quarantine there is
no embargo against the inter.
state movement of poultry except
those from infected premises"
This is the best answer we can
give our readers who have in
quired at this office for informa-
ton.

PREVENTION vs.. CURE.
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene by
Samuel G. Dixon, N. D., IL. D.,
Commissioner Health.

The well worn adage to the eff
feet that IAN ounce of preven-
tion's worth a pound of cure
has long been accepted as one of
the wisest of saws.
We are all willing to admit that
prevention is the thing, but too
often we stick at the price, and
then are obliged to pay roundly
when the necessity for cure is
forced upon US. A day at home
in bed when one is threatened
with a hard cold, seems, to many
people, an extravagant waste of
time; and yet it would be diff
cult to estimate how much really
serious illness might be prevent
ed by rest and care in the early
stages.
How many parents have suffer-
ed the agonies of regret for fail
ing to seek medical advice when
theirchildren were suffering from
sore throat" and which even
tually proved to be diphtheria
with terrifying rapidity.
How frequently, in severe win
ter weather, we see women sac
rificing comfort, and defying
common sense in their dress, for
the sake of what they consider
appearances. How many men
working under strain and physi-
cally exhausted, try to buck
up" with a few drinks.
These are but a few common
examples of the people who will
not pay the price for their ounce
of prevention. They may partly
escape once, twice, a dozen times
but in the long run they foot a
heavy bill. The physicians best
patients are the men and women
who boast of never having a doc
tor until they are really sick.
Much of the greatest work
which has been accomplished in
medicine during the past genera
ton has been preventive work.
The great future of the art lies
in prevention and the time is rap
idly approaching when to suffer
from many of the now common
ailments, will be looked upon by
all intelligent people as evidence
that the sufferer has been mex
cusably neglectful of his own
welfare.
Do not hesitate to pay cheer
fully the cost of prevention when
health is at stake, for no invest
ment offers a higher premium
than your physical well-being.

PIONEER STORIES.
Interesting "reminiscences Related By
Daniel I. Fore, Esq.,, Of His Ex-
perienceS in the Far West.

The third installment of Mr..
Fore's stories for the NEWS read
ers is an illustration of an Indi-
ans sense of humor. In all his
travels he hever had any serious
trouble with the Red Men. On
the contrary, he had many per-
sonal friends among them. AT
the time of our story, there were
many wandering bands of Indi-
ans in Iowa, bent chiefly on look
ing for and fighting members of
rival tribes. Mr.. Fore became
acquainted with several of the
leaders, and while he could not
talk Indian, nor they English,
the universal sign language of
dividing grub" always paved the
way for friendly intercourse.
On one of his trips alone he
met a chief who at once recog-
nized him and who greeted him
with about all the English he
knew, namely, he patted Mr.. Fore
on the back and repeated the
words good man, good man. "
While talking" with Mr.. Fore
the chief became sick on some
berries that Mr.. Fore had given
him. Mr.. Fore made the man a
bed of pine twigs and built a fire
when night came, and was in the
act Of broiling piece of meat
when another Indian, not known
to be in the neighborhood, slip
ped up behind him, grabbed him
by the hair and began saving at
it with his long knife exactly as
though he intended to scalp him.
Mr.. Fore said that since he felt
no pain, he concluded that being
scalped was not so bad after all,
so he never flinched. At this the
visitor laughed aloud and called
out mo scare, no scare!" AS
soon as Mr.. Fore got a view of the
mans face he recognized the In
dian as one of the wanderers
whom he had met six months be-
fore. The visitor then gave three
loud whoops, and seven more
Red Men came into camp, and to-
gether they spent the evening
telling each other, as best they
could, what had occurred to each
since they last met.

Mercersburg Men Hurt.

While John G.. Ely, the man
who brings gasoline to McCon.
nellsburg in the big automobile
truck, was making a trip last
Thursday in a bob-sled, the sled
overturned pinning Mr.. Ely be-
meath the machine. The accident
occurred near the home OF Wal
ter Fields, at Dickey's Station.
Soon after the accident Mr.. Ely
was taken to the Fields home.
Later he was removed to his
home in Mercersburg. An exam
ination showed that Mr.. Ely's
right leg was fractured.

Two Serious Accidents.

On Wednesday of last week a
son of Stanley Snyder, of Tod
township, took his hand-sled and
started to Zack Vallance's going
part of the way by coasting.
The long coast brought him close
to the Valance home, and at the
foot of the hill the boys head
struck a pear tree with such force
that he was rendered unconsci-
GUS for some time. No one wit
messed the accident, and the boy
might have frozen to death as
the weather was zero. Forum
ately, Mrs. Valance happened to
see the unconscious boy lying on
the snow, brought him into the
house, and sent for DR.. Mosser.
The boy was badly hurt, but nc
bones were broken, and he is
now going to school again.
Joseph Swisher, who lives be-
low Webster Mills, was kicked ir
the stomach by a horse on Mon
day about three o'clock in the
afternoon. Mr.. Mosser was call
ed, but he did not reach the in
iured man until nine O'Clock that
evening. The Doctor found Sc
we're bruises at the pit of the
stomach, and one broken rib.

Stay at Home, Boys.

troit Federation of Labor, that
body sent out a warning to labor
ers to stay away from that city,
as there was not enough common
laborers' work to go round. This
is true Of many other places. In
deed, it is true Of all placesall the
time. Rough foreigners by the
thousands are ever ready to do
the common laborers' work about
the mills and upon the construc-
ton work in our cities. w e
know whereof we speak when we
advise that farm labor right here
in Fulton county pays better than
crowded city workers earn. Why?
Because a dollar here will go
more than twice as far as in the
city toward buying real comforts.
Do not forget that we are
speaking to those who are not
skilled in some trade. By Skill
ed" we mean, in this instance,
men who can do some one thing
better than others can do il. For
instance the average country boy
who thinks he is a good driver,
and knows all about horses, will
find when he applies for a simi-
lar job in the city that he is up
against different proposition
from that to which he has been
accustomed. First, there is the
Drivers Union to which he must
belong, and pay heavy dues to
the organizations. tt en-, he
must be ready at all times to
obey the leader and go on strike
and maybe starve on hand outs
until the strike is over. He will
find that the simple act of driv-
ing a team in the country is by
no means the same as on crowd
ed streets where rules and traf-
fic laws must by scrupulously o.
beyed. We might go on down
through the whole list of work
that the unframed boy may think
he could do it he could only get
away" and go to the city.
On the other hand, boys of
education, who know that they
are fitted to compete for jobs
that common laborers cannot do,
are. very frequently, successful
because such boys are in very
small minority. To this class we
have word of warning, as well
as a word of encouragement,
namely, if you must leave the old
homestead farm, make applica-
ton to some extensive agricultur-
ist where you will have abundant
opportunity to become an expert.
Listen, boys, the present demand
for high salaried overseers on
big farm is greater than the sup
ply, and, according to Agricul-
tural College reports, the lowest
salary to competent young men
for these jobs, is $1,S00 a year,
Such men frequently have men
under them who can turn a bet
ter furrow than they can, and
yet, the man who turns that fur
row gets but common labor pay.
See the point?
If one must make his living by
labor, stay right where you are
on the farm and make it good
home, where there is no gruff
boss" Labor there can be
made pleasant, and dignifed and
you will be a somebody" in the
community, while the reverse is
true of the laborer and the cheap
clerk in the big city.
