SCHOOL DAYS IN
THE STATE BEGIN
Bells Ring Today For Approximate
a Third of a Million Pub
lie School Pupils

School bells ring to-day for a third
of a million public school pupils in
Pennsylvania, It being the opening day
of the fall term in most of the bor-
oughs and in many of the township
school districts of the state. The
schools of the cities will begin their
term on Tuesday of next week the
smaller districts commencing a week
ahead of the more populous COM
munities. II is expected that within q
fortnight not very far from 1,4O0. 900
pupils will be enrolled in the 1850
districts comprising the states public
school system.
The state school report shows that
there were close to 1,350,00O pupils
enrolled in the schools of the state a
year ago and there has been a consid-
erable increase. There are over 1880
schoolhouses and $1,000 schools.
In speaking about the opening of
the school term State Commissioner
of Health Samuel G.. Dixon gives these
interesting thoughts:
Hundreds of thousands of children
will go trotting back to school within
the next few days. Immediately fol-
lowing their return, measles, diphth-
eria, scarlet fever and certain other
communicable diseases which reach
their lowest ebb during their vacation
period. will increase by leaps and
bounds.
The result will be disease and
death for the children and more or
less disorganization in the schools.
The responsibility for the spread
of much of the contagion rests with
the parents. Unfortunately in many
homes cold or sore throat is not con-
sidered sufficient excuse for keep
ing a child at home yet these are the
preliminary symptoms of a number OF
diseases of childhood. When Johnny
of Jane has a cold or sore throat
they should remain at home and have
1t cared for. If. as often proves to
be the case, 1t is the first stage of
scarlet fever or diphtheria this may
be of vital Importance.
Even If it is a more simple malady
days care may prevent a weeks
illness. The child with a cold or sore
throat who comes in contact with a
source of infection is in an ideal con-
dition to contarct disease. So primar-
lily for their own protection and well
fare and secondarily for the protec-
ton of the other children they should
be kept at home.
Many Misguided parents apparent
ey feel that they are doing their chill
dren great wrong in permitting
them to stay out of school on account
of what they consider minor ailments

Congress Takes Up War
Emergency Legislation
BY Associntad Rrcts

Washington, Aug. 31.-Congress to-
day presented a substantial quorum
to dispose of additional war emer-
gency legislation. A definite program
will be determined upon at a Demo-
cratic conference. The scope of the
war revenue measure to offset the de-
crease in customs receipts will be de-
cided and some phases of the situa-
ton in the Far East growing out of
hostilities between Japan and Ger
many also may be considered.
President Wilson upon his return
from Cornish probably will address
Congress upon the proposal for the
special internal revenue tax. Indica-
tions to-day were that beer domes-
tic wines and patent medicines would
be subjected to increased taxation. A
committee at work upon the revenue
bill to-day was completing an outline
for submission to the senate confer
ence
Phases of the situation in the Far
East that probably will be discussed
by the conference include a plan to
halt exports from the Philippines to
all points except the United States.

Troops Being Placed in
Position About Paris
BY Associated Prcss

Paris. Aug. 81, 1908 p. m.-All
night long troops from the south and
west of France have been arriving at
the Capital and passing by rail around
the city to the locations In the en-
circling fortifications to which they
have been assigned.
There is great activity on the part
of the municipal military administra-
ton in completing the details of the
defense of Paris.
No official information regarding
the military situation on the frontiers
had been made public up to noon to-
day.
The unusual animation to be noticed
on the streets of Paris to-day was
caused chiefly by the thousands of
persons who are preparing to leave
the capital. Persons are departing
and taking their families with them
as a matter of prudence. 1t is felt
here that the fewer the number of
non combants in the city the better.
Tickets for trains leaving Paris to-
day to the west and south were all
sold out last night.

EMPLOYEES MUST PAY
FOR PRODUCE BOXES
Order in Effect on Middle Division
Tomorrow Cuts Out Free
Shipments

In effect tomorrow on the Middle
Division of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
will be an order prohibiting baggage
men from carrying packages free Tor
railroad employees. This order hits d.
rectlv at the men who have been re-
ducing the high cost of living by buy
ing country produce from farmers
along the division and having it ship
ped free to their home towns.
These packages will now be car
rted by the Adams Express Company
at regular rates. 1t will mean an
hundreds of employees. The practice
of buying country produce from
farmers has been carried on for many
years. Officials at Altoona and Har-
risburg, as we'll as many trainmen,
shop foremen and superintendents,
have had special boxes made for ship
ping the produce. These boxes are
sent to the farmers early in the week,
and returned two days later filled
with butter. eggs fruit, etc.
Baggagemen have handled the
boxes going and coming without any
charges. Occasionally, it is said a
basket of peaches or apples would be
sent to the home of the baggageman.
Sometimes he too had box that went
the regular trip each week. Now, this
free privilege will be stopped. Boxes
sent along the middle division to-day,
will have to be returned tonight, or
the owner must pay express charges
tomorrow. Needless to say rail-
road employees are not pleased with
the order.
Grangers' Week Is On.-Prepara-
tions have been made for a busy week
on the Cumberland Valley railroad.
1t is Grangers picnic week at Will
liams Grove, and the big rush started

We're run to the grove. Beginning to-

ments have been made.

The great Russian Doctor
Metchnikoff years ago declared
that the lower bowel was re-
sponsible not only for most fail
ures and unhappiness, but prema-
ture deaths" The thought of car
trying around lot of decomposed
matter in the lower bowel for
hours, and in some instances for
days, is suicidal. When food has
passed through the stomach and
intestines all nourishing and life
giving qualities have been ex-
tracted. Wher it passes into the
lower bowel it is then ready to be
evacuated, and unless it is, the in
testines become clogged, which in
turn creates indigestion, paralyzes
the iiver, poisons the blood and
sets up all manner of ailments.
Until Tu-Bo-Lax was discov-
cred, people treated Constipation,
through the stomach. The medi-
cine had to go through the stom-
ach and intestines in order to
reach little clog that was block
ing the outlet of the lower bowel.
Tu-Bo-Lax avoids all this injuri-
Gus, unpleasant and uncertain
method-by evacuating the lower
bowel, making it clean and sweet
a. any other part of the body. The
constipated man is an irritable
man the constipated woman
soon fades and becomes unpre-
possessing, if not positively peev-
ish. Should the sewer pipes of
Harrisburg become blocked-the
streets would soon be flooded
with putrid matter, which would
breed Malaria, Yellow Fever and
other killing disease. If a sewer
pipe can create such Disaster
what effect will a clogged bowel,
which is the human sewer pipe,
do to the general health of the
community? Two-thirds of the
ailments peculiar to women are
caused by straining and consti-
pated condition of the bowels.
We want the whole world to
become aroused to the Importance
of keeping the lower bowel as
clean as any part Of the body, and
by so doing, happiness will be
secured. Life can be prolonged
and the possibilities of men can be
fully developed.
