THE TRUTH ABOUT GERMS.

After all, how much is there
in all this talk about germs? Is not
the street child healthier than the
child who is taught to be cleanly?"
Every now and then questions like
this are asked. Visit the slums if
you want the most convincing an
swers. Find out how many babies
die before they reach five years of
age. See how few rosy cheeks there
are. Ask sanatoria and hospitals
where most of their sickness origi-
mates. They will tell you from the
streets.
But the question is asked, How
about the farmers children? They
play in the dirt all day long. Are
they not healthy?"
They may be we'll, but the earth
they play in is not teeming with
germs as is street dust. They have
sunshine and fresh air unsoiled by
the germs of the city. They are not
crowded beside their neighbors. The
country boy is we'll and healthy not
because his hands and face may be
dirty, but in spite of this fact. Were
he exposed to as many germs as the
city boy, he would be just as sickly
Furthermore, if it is healthy to be
careless about germs, why are there
so many typhoid fever epidemics in
the country? Why is there so much
tuberculosis?

ARE PARCEL POST RATES
WRONG?
Charge Made That First Zone is
Only Thirty-Five Miles Instead
of Fifty.

Des Moines, Jan. 27.-An alleged
error in the parcel post map issued
by the government which gives the
first zone a radius of but thirty-five
miles when it should be fifty, has
been discovered, and experts say it
has lost thousands of dollars to
patrons of the government. The
case has been called to the attention
of the postmaster general with the
request that the map be corrected.
The discovery was made when a
Janesville, Wis, firm refused to ac-
cept parcel post maps designed for
commercial purposes prepared by a
local printer. The local firm COM
pared its zone map with authentic
maps and found it correct. If the
error applies to other localities, and
it is said it does, the patrons of the
parcel post have been overcharged a
large sum of money.

SCHWAB TO BUILD
PANAMA CANAL SHIPS.
Fleet to Garry Iron Ore From Chill
can Mines.

Charles M. Schwab has purchased
in conjunction with French bankers
and steel men iron ore property con-
tanning 100,000,000 tons of ore in
sight at Coquimbo, Chile, practically
on the sea coast near the Bay of
Cruz Grande, known as the Toto Iron
Mines. Mr.. Schwab describes the
ore as the richest he has discovered
in any part of the world and super
ior to the Swedish ore, which up to
this time he has considered the best
1t assays 67 per cent. of iron and
contains very little phosphorus aud
sulphur.
The addition of this Chilean ore
to the Bethlehem company will in
crease it's output, says Mr.. Schwab,
about 60 per cent, and to provide
for it a program of additional con-
struction to the plant involving &c.
100000 has already been drawn up.
A fleet of steamers for transporta-
tion of the ore to the Bethlehem
plant is to be built, with not less
than ten to start with of from 49,
600 to 10000 tons capacity. The
ships will use the Panama Canal.
''The Panama Canal is the key to
the whole situation" said Mr.. Sch
wab, "and has made possible the
acquisition OF this property by the
Bethlehem company. We hope ours
will be the first steamers to use the
canal. The possession of this Chill
can ore property puts the Bethlehem
Steel Company in a strong position
and will be much to its advantage
for years to come"
The property is under the jurisdic-
tion of the government of Chile, but
French capitalists held concessions
on the property with the consent of
the French government. Associated
in the purchase with Mr.. Schwab are
George S. Gandjean, president Of the
Banque Franchise; Marquis Chas-
seloup, Loubat, of the Rothschild;
A. Almond, director of the Creusot
Steel Company; Albert Enriquez, of
London and H. Grosdider, of Paris.

D. A. R. CHAPTER ORGANIZED
HERE
Twelve Ladies Met at Miss Rock
wells Thursday Evening and
Formal Organization Took Place
Officers Elected For

A Honesdale Chapter, Daughters
of the American Revolution, was or
ganized at the home of Miss Har-
riet Rockwell on Main street on
Thursday evening, when twelve Ia
dies who are members of the Ma
tional d. A. R. met there for that
purpose.
Miss Rockwell was appointed over
year ago by the state agent of the
society to work up chapter in
Honesdale, but only recently sue
ceeded in securing the required
twelve. In order to establish a
chapter it was necessary to have
twelve ladies who were members of
the National d. A. R.. Now that the
Honesdale chapter has been organiz-
ed any daughter may join who is ELI
gible. To be eligible person must
be a lineal descendant of a man or
woman who assisted in
establishing independence for this
country in the war with Great Brit
ain.
The officers elected at the meeting
Thursday evening are: Miss Harriet
Rockwell, regent; Mrs. f. B. Whit
ney vice-regent; Mrs. Harry Oday,
registrar; Mrs. Homer Greene, his
torian; Miss Charlotte Lane, record
ing secretary; Miss G. Lou Harden
bergh, corresponding secretary; Miss
Bertha Lane, treasurer. The officers
elected are to serve for one year
The chapter is to be known as the
Anthony Wayne chapter of the D.
A. r.
The object of the chapter is to per-
petuate the memory and spirit of the
men and women who achieved ma
tional independence and to encour-
age historical research. The board
of management are planning for a
very fourishing society here for re-
search work and also as social
function. The chapter now has
eighteen members.
A meeting has been called for
some evening this week by the board
of management to provide for the
bylaws of the organization.
