SERBIA TO MAKE SACRIFICES.

 tory.

Nish, Serbia, Aug. Recommending on the vote of confidence in the gov ernment blythe Serbian national as- semhly, the semi-offcial amourpra- va'' says in a leading article:
 ITO realize the sacred ideals of civilized humanity, still further sacri- fees must be made. These sacrifices will be agreed to and supported by all the allies, and consequently by Serbia, too.
 When it is sought by asking Ser bia, Greece and Rumania to sacrifice previous gains so that they may achieve in the main their national ideals by the extensive compensation which they will receive, it would be lack of foresight and a showing of in competence not to agree to such sac rifices.'

A Prized Souvenir.

Mrs. C. E. Little, of the Full
ton House, has a souvenir of the
European war that she prizes
much. 1t is a button from the
coat of a German soldier. Mrs.
Little's son is a Canadian soldier
in the English army fighting in
the trenches in France. AS told
by the NEWS some time ago, her
son was severely wounded, but
he has recovered from that and
is back in the ranks. A short
time ago in battle he helped to
capture a lot of Germans, and
from the uniform of one of the
captives he cut a button, which
he sent to his mother. He also
sent her two s-one picked
in France, the other in Belgium.
He says that in one engagement,
5000 of his Canadian comrades
were killed or severely wounded.

Ehalt will take possession of the
property in a few days. The
property was bought last fall
from the Rexroths by Calvin E.
Little of Chambersburg for $11,-

last fall. 1t is one of the most
popular hostleries between Phila-
delphia and Pittsburgh.

NUMBER Al
The MEDICINE HABIT.
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene by
Samuel G. Dixon, NJ. D., IL. D.,
Commissioner Of Health.

Many man who would resent
the efforts of a blacksmith to re-
pair his piano, will accept the ad-
vice of his next door neighbor,
regarding some favorite remedy
for an ailment, the nature Of
which is by no means certain.
He will consume innumerable bot
ties of medicine" which are ac-
companied by guarantees that no
reputable physician would think
of making.
The human body is so much
more delicate in its construction
than any mechanical device ever
invented, that to run the risk of
upsetting the functions of the va
rious organs by the use of prepa-
rations of which one has no accu-
rate knowledge, is not only alb
surd but in many instances ex-
tremely dangerous.
There is another drawback to
self medication. The diagnosis
of disease is a matter which re-
quires skill and training of the
highest kind. The symptoms Of
various disturbances in the hu-
man economy may manifest them
selves by causing distress in some
part of the body entirely separat-
ed from the seat of the difficulty.
AS an example indigestion is Of
ten the cause of headache. Such
symptoms can only be properly
related to the cause by one who
is skilled in diagnosis. Food it.
self, under certain conditions,
may produce disturbances as pro-
found as those caused by potent
drugs.
The tendency of modern medi-
cine is toward prevention, and
the present day physician makes
far less use of drugs than did his
predecessors. Despite this fact
it has been estimated that the
people of the United States spend
some $5OO,000,000, year for
medicine, most of which is not
prescribed by physicians. We
consume more drugs than any
other people in the world.
The individual who has any all
ment which seems to necessitate
the continued use of drugs should
for his own welfare and safety,
consult an able physician.

TETANUS, OR LOCKJAw.
Health Department Calls Attention TO
The Treatment Of this Most Seri-
GUS Of Ailments.

DR.. Dixon, of the Department
Of Health, Harrisburg, has sent
to the newspapers his annual
caution to guard against Tetanus,
commonly called Lockjaw, caused
by burns from firecrackers or toy
pistols on the fourth of July.
Cannon black powder burns are
not as dangerous as those from
firecrackers and toy pistol caps,
as the latter two contain a clay
that almost invariably contains
the germ of tetanus. Called a
physician at once. In the mean
time, wash the wound thorough
ly with boiled water-as hot as
patient can stand it. Then band
age with clean white cloths that
have been soaked in a pint of
boiled water containing a teas
poonful of salt.
1t would be we'll if all would
remember that boiled water with
a little salt dissolved in it is a
good disinfectant for all wounds,
such as those caused by nails,
splinters, cuts, &C.; but for fire.
cracker burns, always call the
Doctor, in addition to the salt
water treatment.
In order that such accidents as
occur may not be followed by
deaths from tetanus or lockjaw,
as it is commonly known, DIR.
Samuel G. Dixon, Commissioner
of Health, has made arrange
ments for the Statewide distri-
button OF tetanus antltoxin. This
will be finished without cost to
the poor.
1t is essential that tetanus anti
tox n be administered within
twenty-four hours after the
wound has been received. Any
physician can secure immunzing
doses of 1900 units upon applica-
tion if he will certify same is for
the treatment of persons too poor
to pay.
That there may be as little de-
lay as possible in securing anti
toxin, the State Department has
placed a supply with one drug
gist in each county. The supply
for Fulton county may be found
at L. W. Seylar's drug store, Nc
Connellsburg; Bedford, at Jor-
dams in Bedford; Franklin, at

LETTER FROM EGYPT.
Mrs. W. Il. Reed Personally Witnesses
Horrors Of European War.
Turks a Bad Lot.


say, Mrs. Reed Bertha Grove)
is a daughter of Rev. j. L. Grove,
pastor of the United Presbyterian
church, McConnellsburg, Pa. She
and her husband, are with other
United Presbyterian missionaries
in Egypt. In a recent letter to
her sister, Mrs. W. G. Patterson,
of Ayr township, she spoke of
having missed receiving accus-
toned letters from home folks,
and thinks that these letters went
down with the Lusitania, as her
mail from America goes by that
route. Extracts from the letter
follow:
"Sabb tn morning, May 18th,
just as | was ready for church,
Mr.. Thompson md Mr.. Bell, two
of our missionaries, brought the
word that there are 1000 British
soldiers (wounded at the Darda-
nelles) lying in boats in the AL
exandria harbor, without doctors
or nurses, and no place to put
them. All the hospitals in Alex
andria, Tanta and Cairo, are full.
Also, most of the school buildings
and hotels. Three hundred of
their Red Cross doctors were
killed in the landing, the Turks
having spotted them by their
badges and picked them off.
"Dr. Finny and Mr.. Bell had
met with missionaries from Cairo
and Tanta and Mr.. Bell was sent
on to Assiut to tell us about it
and to see what could be done.
So meeting of missionaries was
called and DIR. Henry and Mr..
Russell appointed to confer with
the committees from other places,
in Cairo, to-day.
Probably our central school in
Alexandria will be closed and
turned into a hospital. $50 beds
are offered by Assiut College, so
by Tanta hospital which is closed
on account of building operations
at present. Doctors Grant, Pol
lock, and Lambie will be asked to
form the medical staff, Sister
Dorcas and Misses Hassack and
Holland the trained nurses, and
then the rest of us as volunteer
nurses. The army officers who
talked to Mr.. Bell said they would
be everlastingly grateful to us if
we would just open, equip, and
man a hospital and take in the
poor men. 1t means feeding and
clothing them too. But the gov
ernment is ready to pay eXpens-
es. However, the missionaries
feel that if the missionaries dc
the work, the wealthy in Ameri-
ca ought to pay the bills and
make the thing a gift to the
British government in her time
of need. We all know, too, that
these men are fighting our bat
ties, and were it not for them,
Egypt would probably be in the
hands of the Turks and Germans
to-day. These men are from
Australia and New Zealand,
splendid fellows moreli like Amer.
leans than English. They are
very open to spiritual help just
now, and there will be a wide
field for work among them"
All the above missionaries, doc,
tors, nurses, and the institutions
that were pressed into service tc
care for the wounded, compose
the United Presbyterian branch
of the American Board of Mis-
sions. Egypt having been as
signed to that denomination. The
killing of Red Cross doctors by
Turks throws a different light
upon the character of the Turks
in. contrast with the reports o.
humane actionsattributed to then
by newspapers.

ROME FROM PHILIPPINES.
James K. Foreman Visits McCOuneIIS-
burg After an Absences Of Twenty
seven Years.

prised Monday morning by hav-
ing cali from his old teacher
friend James K. Foreman. Mr..
Foreman was reared on the farm
that Doc" Mellott now owns
near Knobsville, and taught the
McGovern school in Tod township
the last year that Harry Wood
al was County Superintendent
| (1886-7. The summer of 1888,
Mr.. Foreman went to Illinois, and
in 1898 when the United States
needed men for the Spanish
American war, he enlisted in the
Fourth Missouri State Volunteers
was modified at Jefferson Bar
racks, spent five months in Camp
Alger, Va, 5 months in Camp
Meade, Pa, 3 months in Green
vile, S. c., and was mustered
out February 10, 1899. In Sep
tember, 1899, he enlisted in the
22nd U. S. volunteers, sailed for
Manila in September, and disem-
barked in Manila Bay November
8, 1899. He served as a soldier
until May, 1901, when he was
honorably discharged.
AS a result of the Spanish
American war, the United States
became possessed of the Philip
pine Islands by the payment of
20 millions of dollars. The group
consists of more than 5000 is
lands having combined area of
about lis thousand square miles,
and about 8 million people. The
land area is about equal to that
of the six New England States
with the addition of New York
and New Jersey. Of the popu-
lation, about Z millions are more
or less civilized, while about a
million are practically barbarous
tribes.
The object of the United States
in taking under it's care these
people was to do them good-to
lift them out of a state of super
stition and ignorance, and let the
beams of civilization and enlight-
enment fall upon them. Hence,
one of the first things to do was
the establishing of schools, and
the placing of teachers at Gov
ernment expense. AS soon as
Mr.. Foreman was mustered out
of service in the army he went
into the service of the Gov
ernment as a teacher and served
in that capacity for u years.
The last eight years he has serv-
ed in the Quarter Master De-
partment as clerk and storekeep-
er.
Inasmuch as the Philippines lie
in a latitude south of that of Gu
ba, the climate is hot, and to a
northerner, more or less debili-
tating. Hence, upon the advice
of his physician, Mr.. Foreman is
taking this summer "off" and
visiting his old home in this coun-
ty. He left Jolo, Sulu, 600 miles
south of Manila, on the 22nd of
March, and coming by way of
Manila, Nagasaki, San Francisco
the Panama Canal and New York
he arrived in McConnellsburg on
the 22nd of June. He spent q
days crossing the Pacific, about
6,70O miles, and II days from
San Francisco by boat via Pana-
ma canal to New York. The
fare from San Francisco to New
York, which of course, includes
state room and board, is $75.
There is also a $50 rate, but this
means that you occupy a stuffy
room with four or five other pas
sengers at night.
Mr.. Foreman enjoyed the trip
home very much, and is receiv-
ing much physical benefit, hav-
ing gained 20 pounds in weight.
He is in love with his work in
those far islands, and ex-
poets to return to them Septem-
