Germans Say They Haze
Repulsed All Attacks in
Eastern Theater of War
"a Aftociated Prttf

London, Oct. 12.-It is officially an
nounced in Berlin that in the eastern
theater of war all attacks of the first
and tenth Russian armies have been
repulsed while the same fate was suf-
fered by the Russians when they at
tempted an outfanking movement by
way of Schirwindt, East Prussia.
In South Poland the Germans claim
their armies have reached the Vistula.
The assertion is also made that the
Russians have invented the stories
which have been given out regarding
great victories at Augustowo and Su-
walki.
Petrograd remained silent as to the
movements of the Russian armies but
hints that secrecy Is necessary for the
time being because impotant oper-
atoms are pending. Late reports indi-
cate that terrific lighting partaking of
the nature of siege operations, has
taken place during the last fortnight,
around Roye. Lassiny and Albert, the
last named place having been COM
pletely destroyed.
From Austria come reports by way
of Italy of the rapid spread of Asiatic
cholera and of the sufferings. being
endured by the Austrian troops. on ac-
count of the unusually cold weather.

PENBROOK TURNS OUT
To HEAR REPUBLICANS
Congressman Kreider and John c.
NissIey Speak at Saturday
Night Meeting

Congressman Aaron S. Kreider, can
didate for reelection, and John c.
Nissley, candidate for the Legislature
in the county district, addressed a
large number of the voters of Pen
brook aturday evening at an open air
meeting at which DIR. A. l.. Shope pre-
sided.
Mr.. Nissley, who has been getting
about the county a great deal during
the past month. told his hearers that
he was convinced that sentiment is
overwhelmingly Republican this Fall.
He found, he said, that a large num-
ber of voters who felt they had been
responsible in one way or another
for the elevation of the Democrats
to power in national affairs. now see
the mistake they made and are return
ing to the yold part.' by the hundred.
BY an odd coincidence this opening
speech of Mr.. Nissley in the present
campaign was made from the same
platform from which he made his first
political speech years ago in Penbrook
and he recalled to his audience many
of the old citizens who had been pres
ent at that time.
Congressman Kreider's address was
a ringing denunciation of the policies
that during the Wilson Administration
have brought the country we'll nigh 20
ruin and have made it necessary for
the Democrats to tax the common
people of the nation $105. 100000 in
time of peace to make up for the
deficiencies resulting from the opera
tions of the Underwood tariff.

employed and the results are summed
up in the following words
The department found among the
S02 plants that the minimum employees
between June. 1918, and June, 1914.
which in most of the plants occurred
toward the latter date, was 323, ALE O.,
while the maximum occurring in the
same plants between those dates
amounted TO 449.1SS This means that
about / 25, 900, or over quarter of all
employed either lost or left their po-
sitions in these S02 plants during the
year 1t will be understood that the
number of plants thus investigated is
only small proportion of the total in
the Commonwealth. The relative pro-
portion of those losing their positions
in the tens of thousands of smaller
undertakings not investigated Is un-
doubtedly larger. Even If the average
number of days is small during which
each one is idle of the enormous num-
ber of persons involuntarily out of
work, the economic loss is very great"
During the coming winter every in
dication is that there Will be much
unemployment and suffering. The es-
by our cities would prove a profitable
investment to the communities affect
ed and would do much to reduce the
hardship. The department will gladly
aid IN the establishment of such bu-
reaus."

PTOMA|NE POISON
CAN Be AVOIDED D
DR.. Dixon Discusses a Common
Form of Ailment in His Week
end Talk on Health

State Commissioner of Health Sam
uel G.. Dixon calls attention to the
dangers of ptomaine poisoning at this
season of the year in his weekend
talk and urges inspection of food as a
means of preventing it. The COM
missioner gives some timely hints in
his talk, in which he says:
"Ptomain poison causes a serious
disturbance of the digestive organs,
due to the products of germ life. Gen
orally speaking, ptomains are the re-
suit of decomposition of foodstuffs.
This is caused by bacteria. In the
process of their growth a poison is
produced which effects a violent dis
turbance if introduced into the digest
ive system.
Sausage, decomposed fish, cheese,
ice cream, milk. canned meats and
vegetables are the foodstuffs most
commonly responsible for ptomain
poisoning. Cooking will not always
destroy the ptomains in foodstuffs. 1t
kills the bacteria, but the poisonous
substances will remain.
Unfortunately, our sense of taste in
the majority of instances does not
warn us of the presence of these poi
sons. This is often due to the COM
mon practice of over-seasoning our
foodstuffs and the excessive use of
condiments. Also ii is the practice of
many NdHueiS u dou pI SSSi NdllN cS
which make IL possible for them to
use decomposed meats or vegetables.
If foods for canning are properly in
spected before their preparation and
the decayed portion eliminated, they
can be made to keep without the addi-
ton of injurious preservatives.
'Ptomain poisoning as a rule de-
velops a few hours after eating and
progresses rapidly.
I'm the treatment of ptomain poi
soning the first essential is to wash
out the stomach and empty the intes-
final canal OF as much of the decom.
posed food as possible. These things
may be done while awaiting the ar
rival of the physician"
