apples from the trees and in a few in

c Commissioner of Health Gives
Some Timely Hints Regarding
ProlOnging Our Lives

DIR. Samuel G. Dixon. State Commits
of his weekly talks on health and hap
piness urges that people slow up, es-
pecially in summer time. The COM
missioner says in part:
More haste, less speed is a ven
cradle warning against misapplied en-
ergy. The summer season gives adj
ditional reason to consider the value
of rational, well-directed activity as
opposed to spurts of action.
The average city dweller, regard
less Of years, is apt to scurry about as
1t life depended upon his catching a
particular train or trolley. Rushing to
and fro with small consideration for
those who impede his progress, he will
risk life and limb to cross a street
thirty seconds sooner and then gaze in
show window for ten minutes.
"All this is extremely wearing on
the nervous system and physically ex-
hausting. 1t easily becomes a habit
and if continued leads to loss of per-
sonal efficiency. certain degree of
deliberation usually insures more
thoughtful and effective action and is
better from the health standpoint.
To progress at moderate speed with
due consideration for other peoples

of no small value. Your physical ma
chinery is far more likely to success
fully meet emergencies IL it is not con-
tinually running on high gear.
Then, too, there is much in our
daily round which he who runs may
not read. If we are to live nationally
and think broadly, 1t is we'll to make
ones progress through life at a mod
crate pace. Your scurrying busybody
is selfish even though it be uninten-
tional. To have an eye for other
peoples desires and ambitions and a
consideration for their ideals may help
us to achieve our own.

MiRlin County Farmer
Holds Up Travel on State
Highway While Threshing
Special to The Telegraph

Lewistown, Pa, Aug. 20.-Some peo-
pie were fooled when they had come
to the conclusion that John II. Miller,
had tired of his controversy with the
State. The fight is still on. Mr.. Miller
owns a farm a short distance east of
Lewistown through which the State
road passes, and the barn is located
just few feet off the State highway
Miller has been threshing his oats and
wheat crop and the belt that operates
the thresher is stretched across the
highway, completely blocking 1t.
Miller opposed the operations of the
State in constructing the highway
through his farm and after a fight
against the State in the courts of
Mifflin county he was awarded a sum
of damages which he would not ac-
cept. Then he erected a large sign
along the road at his farm bearing the
words Christians of Lewistown stole
this right of way"
and the State was reached when the
highway was obstructed by the thresh-
ing outfit. Miller it is said instructed
the engineer to order all autoists and
other vehicles to stop going by the
Miller barn while the threshing was
going on.
Drivers of autos were told to go
back and take the hill road. A Mifiin-
town man starting on a long trip was
the first one to be held up and he paid
the engineer one dollar to have the
belt removed until he could get by. All
day autoists had to stop and parley
with the engineer about getting by.

"THE CHALICE OF COURAGE, AT
THE COLONIAL,

With the blue ribbon Vitagraph fea-
cyrus Townsend Brady. the Colonial
Theater will be opened Monday morn
ing. at II o'clock
Right at the opening of the story
the hero is placed in an extraordinary
position: the horse being ridden by his
wife makes misstep and rolls down
steep cliff. The woman is mortally in
jured and he does the only human
thing under the circumstances. Later
the man becomes a recluse in the noun
tains. A young girl comes out of the
East years later and meets the noun
tain man. After a long winter, in
which the two are immured in a noun
tain hut, unable to get to civilization
because of the impossible SHOWS, the
villain of the story appears on the
scene-the man who was indirectly re-
sponsible for the death of the noun
tain mans wife and who now attempts
to take away the girl who has given
him her heart. A fight results. which
clears the atmosphere, and all turns
out the right way. The acting is so
vividly done that there is time for
nothing but admiration while the
photoplay is "on."
Another feature OF the opening will
be pipeorgan concerts at and o'clock
