CLEANLINESS THE KEY
In Great Measure Mastery
of Premature Death is
In Our Hands.

Great things have small beginnings.
A spectacle maker, Jan Leippersheim
by name, living in Holland, invented a
crude magnifying glass in 1908. An
ton Won Leuwenhoek, born in Delft,
this day 1882, improved this clumsy
toy and evolved compound micro
scope which has become the most
valuable sanitary tool yet devised by
man. That first microscope was as
far removed from the highpowered in
strumenu of today as is the modern
American from the original caveman.
Yet by this faulty means, Leuwenhoek,
naturalist, physician and botanist, dis
covered certain minute bodies which
he called "little animals" He made
drawings of these and today we know
them for those useful friends and ma
lignant enemies of man-baeteria.
We spend our days surrounded by
another world, a living world of count
less billions, invisible to the naked eye
silent, tireless, destroying the living
consuming the dead, useful in the
sciences and arts, yet often followed
by train of sickness, suffering and
death. A curious paradox this, yet
bacteria are at once the greatest
friends and the fiercest foes of every
living thing. Not animals, as Leu
wenhoek thought, but vegetables, bac
terra consist of two classes, those
which prey on living things and those
which reduce to their original miner.

which they attack. They are of va

in clusters, chains, and in pairs. They
are ubiquitous. The dusty air, the

animals and plants all contain them
They cause the fermentation of foods
they make cheese, they produce dis

and injected into an animal protect i
against the verv disease which they

PERS|MMON RECIPES.
Many Ways in Which This
y Highly Nutritious Yet
Greatly Neglected Fruit
May be FUSED.

The only fruit, says a new publlca-
tion of the department, Farmers Bull
letin No. 6S5, which equals the per-
.immon in its value as a food is the
date. Nevertheless many persons
with fine persimmon trees in their pos
session are allowing the fruit to go to
waste either through ignorance of the
many uses to which it may be put or
through prejudice. There is a say
ing in the persimmon country that
persinmons are "good for dogs, hogs,
and 'possums." This, however, is
declared to be gross injustice to
very valuable product.
One reason for the neglect of this
fruit is the mistaken idea that persin
mons are unfit to eat until they have
been touched by frost. AS a matter
of fact much of the best fruit is lost
each year because it ripens and falls
to the ground, where, not being touch
! ed by frost, it is left to rot. Sucn
persimmons as are not edible before
FROST comes are late variety of the
fruit. and the reason that they pucker
fine mouth is because they have not
vat ripened. In general the best fruit
ripens lust before the leaves fall.
At the present time the most COM
mon use for the fruit in the perslm-
mon belt. which extends from Mary
land. Virginia, and the Carolinas west
ward through Missouri and Arkansas
is as food for hogs. 1t can, however:

It is we'll to add a half teaspoon1ul

When a mother is Awakened from

These men say that for the last few

have been coming into the big houses,

for the new steel trust"
According to rumor the new COM

smaller concerns and a big eastern

Men with a knowledge of stock
markets say the formation of the
proposed new trust reveals the secret
of the upward movement in the Sc
curities of the companies mentioned,
especially Bethlehem and Crucible
The genius of the new enterprise,
of course, is Charles NJ. Schwab. pres
ident of the Bethlehem Steel Corpora
ton, all of whose plants would be
] included. and its backbone is the
I Chilean iron ore enterprise of Mr.
Sehwab. That money enough can be
raised to swing it is plain from the
association with the deal of the Rookie
fellers through Colorado Fuel and
Iron.
That local officials of the Bethlehem
Steel Company might know little OF
nothing about It. is quite plausible
since the planning would not be done
here. but in New York and It would
be quite in keeping with the way
Mr.. Schwab has of doing things to
send an expert to HARRISBURG and
other plants to take inventories tc
ascertain the amount of stock in the
new combine that ought to be ap-
/ portioned TO the present owners.
The Chilean ore enterprise is in
good shape, and rapid progress is be
ing made on the docks near New York
where the ore is to be unloaded after
being transported from the west coasi
of South America via the Panama
Canal.
Il is declared that neither Mr.
