LIVES TURKEYS AT 25 CENTS,
DRESSED, 80, In MARKETS

The extensive display of Christmas
trees and other greens, constant "gob-
BILE, gobble" of the turkeys, the cluck-
ing of the chickens and the quacking
of the ducks made those who attended
market this morning aware that Christ
mas is almost here. The noise-produc-
ers, however, did not remain in the
markets very long. as the many people
who had delayed the purchasing of their
Christmas dinners until to-day soon had
the fowls in their baskets.
The farmers who brought turkeys to
market, as well as those who brought
Christmas trees, holly, crows foot, laur-
ell and various other green's, went home
well satisfied. Live turkeys sold in
some instances as low as % cents a
pound, although the standard price was
% cents. Dressed turkeys brought 80
cents. Near the close of market green's
were sold at very low prices, as the
farmers did not care to take them back
home to decorate their barnyards.
Around some stalls the smell of old
fashioned mince meat was very marked.
Big red cranberries were plentiful and
in most cases cheap. The oyster men
were on the job with barrels and bar
rels of oysters to be lsed in filing the
turkey on Christmas or for a regular
oyster dinner. One oyster man said:
"You can eat 'em any way, just so
you buy 'em.'
The regular market men say the
crowd to-day was one of the largest
and happiest that has been in market
this season.

USUAL GIFTS TO TEACHERS
TO GO TO POOR THIS YEAR

School teachers and officers and
teachers of Sunday schools and church
es of Middletown have united in a
movement to aid the poor of that bor-
ough, according to an announcement
made by the Directors of the Poor this
morning, by Prof. H. J. Wickey, super
intendent of the Middletown schools.
The superintendent frequently has aid
ed the Directors of the Poor in dispen-
sing aid to the poor in the lower end
of the county and his mission this
morning was along that line.
The school teachers in his district,
he said, have advised the pupils to buy
no presents for the teachers and that
if the pupils have any money to con
tribute it should be applied to fund,
which now is being raised, to bring
Christmas cheer to the homes of the
poor. The exchange of costly gifts in
the Sunday schools also is being dis
couraged, so Mr.. Wickey said, the plan
being to cut the cost Of the gifts down
to minimum so as to aid the more
needy.
A plan is now on foot, the superin-
tendent said, whereby the barber shop
apprentices will grant to the poor the
contributions received in their Christ.
mas boxes. Some of the apprentices
have agreed to follow the suggestion,
it is said.

Have you got "the sawdust cough 9''
Lots of good Harrisburg people have

"The sawdust cough" is the name
given by local physicians to mild dis
ease which has spread over Harrisburg
during the past few weeks. Hundreds
of persons have come to their offices,
say the doctors, and between spasmodic
coughs have asked for treatment for
their throats. The ailment in all such
cases is similar and the doctors have

During the Slough evangelistic
meetings in the big tabernacle, now
being torn down, the great crowds that
went in and out raised great deal
of dust from the sawdust aisles, and
during the services the air was always
noticeable misty with particles of saw
dust.
DR.. Slough, Himself, Had Cough
There was seldom meeting that DIR.
Slough did not feel called upon to re-
quest those in his audience to suppress
their coughing as much as possible, for
there was scarcely a minute during
services that several persons of the
thousands present were not coughing,
sometimes slightly and sometimes
violently. He advised persons compell-
ed to cough necessarily to purchase
cough drops, and the matter was at
that time passed off as joke.
DR.. Slough himself suffered from
throat irritation during the seven
weeks 3 campaign, and constantly took
medicine to overcome it. He at no time
from the platform attributed the
coughing epidemics in the audience to
the sawdust, but physicians who have

Clarence Beck, captain and star of

about the numerous offers of scholar
ships he has had, stated that he did not
intend to enter any college, regardless
of the many offers he has had.
Beck feels that the acceptance of a

to sports and necessitates the neglect
of his studies. He has not yet fully de-
cided what line of work he will follow
after leaving school.
