If you want to witness an active
scene stand fer while in the western
mart of Welsh about the ware houses
and see the stream of wagons loaded
with rice pouring in, in almost unbrok
en- line. The last few days of fair
weather has worked marvellous changes
in this rice section. Things look good
now.

WHAT ARE BACTERIA?

DR.. Chas. E. North of New York has
presented a very clear and simple con-
ception of bacteria. All living things
are either plant or animal. Bacteria
belongs to the vegetable kingdom. Just
as most plants from large trees to
small moss plants are useful to man, so
are most bacteria. Just as there are a
very few poisonous plants, just so are
there a few poisonous bacteria amongst
the many useful ones. Bacteria are
the oldest plants and ancestors of all
vegetable life.
Before animals were created, there
was no tuberculosis or typhoid, or diph-
liberia, but after the animals and men
appeared, some of these tiny plants
accidentally took up their residence in
the noses and threats and intestines of
men.
Having once learned to grow in ami
mails many of them have entirely lost
their power of growing anywhere else
and cannot live at all without the
warmth and nourishment which they
receive in living persons.
This being so, the disease germs con-
tinue their existence only by being
passed from one individual to another.
Recent studies have discovered indi
viduals who have been called "carri-
ers'. Without being i'll themselves,
they keep bacteria alive in their own
systems and pass them along to vic
tins.
The most common diseases thus Gear
ried' are tuberculosis, typhoid and
diphtheria.
Sopher has reported the case of ''Ty-
phoid Mary cook, said to have in
tested 25 persons, living in six families,
residing in five localities in three states.
She, herself, had no symptoms of dis
ease in spite of harboring millions of
typhoid germs.
While the majority of infectious dis
eases are due to vegetable parasites, a
few are due to microscopic animal par
asites, called protocol These, for the
most part, inhabit the blood. The most
common diseases due to this class are
syphilis, malaria, dysentery and sleep
ing sickness. The three latter are I'M
common in northern climates.
1t has been with the greatest diff
Guilty that the disease germs carried
as described above could be killed. In
teresting work is being done by bac-
teriologists in "sicking on" friendly
germs to kill the germs of diphtheria
carriers. The process is called cover
riding. 1t is not unlike turning fer
rets loose in a rat infested building.

LANCASTER, Pa, Dec. 1, 1913.

LANCASTER, PA, Dec. l, 1913.
If the expressions of the tobacco
packers themselves are to be regarded
as an index to the situation, then the
local leaf market is very much on the
''blink. More plainly, demoralized,
and it is all the more pity because at
one time it looked as though business
was becoming really good.
The cigarmakers are blamed for the
change because of the uncertainty Gre
ated by their demand for raise of 81
per thousand cigars. A few manufac-
turers have granted the whole or par
tial increase, but it appears to be the
belief that the bulk of the manufacture
ers will refuse and then nobody can tell
what will happen.
Charles Eisenlohr, of Otto Eisenlohr
q Bros, assembled his people a few
days ago and told them that he would
be glad to grant the increase if bust
ness warranted, but it does not, and
| the firm, therefore, did not feel like
granting any increase until the present
business situation clears somewhat.
The sampling of the 1912 tobacco is
about over, and. taken as whole, the
trade is expected to find it desirable
goods. Some of the packers found
more black rot and must than was
healthy for their pockets. but these
lots are the exception not the rule. 1t
is probable that if the packers were to
! take the prices some outside parties
have offered, the packing would soon
be snapped up, but the packers do not
propose engaging in any sacrifice sales.
They say they have a good article for
the market and propose getting a fair
price for it. There is not less than
%, coo eases of the 1909 crop left.

NOT A CoL0RED BISHOP.

the White House by the donor. the Rev.

IBERIA. with a note explaining he had
carved it himself.
The simple inscription REV. G. c. Fen

that the donor has been a Bishop in

Property Owners Complain.

Meanwhile owners of property in the
squares under condemnation proceed
ings are complaining of delay. To some
OF them-especially those whose prop
critics carry maturing obligations-the
delay has been a cause of worry. The
following is a letter that has been sent
to the President by one property owner:
Il beg to bring to your notice the
fered by the owners of the properties
in the squares condemned by the gov
ernment some time back. for which ap-
preparation was made by Congress last
winter, embraced in the sundry civil
bill This bill failed in the last Con-
gress by reason Of your predecessors s
veto. thus delaying payment to owners
of these properties taken from them.
THE present Congress having passed
this bill. which you have signed, 1t now
only awaits your authorization and the
appointment of a master to receive the
titles to the property. the abstracts in
many cases being now in the hands OF
the Department of Justice and already
examined. The delay of further action
is working a serious hardship upon many
Of these property owners. Some of them
have become so embarrassed by reason
of the delay in payment that they have
been forced to sell their ownership at a
heavy discount. Others have had to
borrow money. paying commission. and
interest pending payment to them under
the appropriation in this bill.
There is stringency of money exist
ing at present here locally that would
be relieved Dy the release Of the moneys
proceeding from this appropriation.
I'm view Of the foregoing l would urge
upon you the earliest action possible in
this matter"
