BOX SUPPER AT JONCA S. H.

Jonca school is located on the old
Plank road II miles northeast of
Pennington and within 100 yards of
the large steel bridge that spans Big
Jonca creek, and within so yards of
as fine a spring as ever flowed from
the hills.
This writer, in company with his
two children that are yet at home, at
tended the box supper and entertain
ment at that school house on last Sat
urday night, and to say that the pro-
gram was excellent is only to give it
justice. Every piece was rendered in
a most satisfactory way, and was
highly pleasing to the large audience
which filled the large church house to
it's utmost.
After the program was over, James
E. Horton sold "a boxes to the highest
bidder and they went like hot cakes
at from 60 cents to 1925 each, and
brought the snug sum of $27.65.
Then a large and most beautiful cake
(which Mrs. Frank Brown baked)
was offered for the most popular
young lady present, and was, after
long contest, voted to Miss Pearl
Thomas of the Jonca school and
brought S16.55. Next came the fun.
A fine pipe was offered for the ugliest
man and was knocked off" to John
Edwards, who does not smoke, and
brought $1.60, but he refused to ac-
cept it because he didn't need it. The
handsome sum of $3.50 which will
be used to finish paying for their fine
new school house. Thus ended an
other successful school at that place.
Several of the students graduated
from the 9Th grade, which speaks
we'll for Miss Genevieve logger of
River Aux Vase as teacher.

day night in celebration of Wilson'S
reelection, the return home of Ma
tional Chairman Mccormick and in
endorsement of the Presidents call to
the people to forget the campaign and
unite for the country. 1t was the big
gest parade the Democrats have had
for long time and the marchers had
all kinds of fun with their opponents,
numerous banners being displayed and
considerable ''joshing" INDUCED in.
The Harrisburg, West End and
other Republican clubs burned dozens
of redfire in honor of their victorious
opponents and quite a few men who
are not Democrats cheered in honor
of the. President and his sentiment
to forget the election. Mccormick got
cheers from admirers along the line
and Ramsey Black, legislator elect,
was given a great reception while
many people cheered for Samuel
Kunkel. the treasurer of the State
committee.
The parade lasted most of the eve-
ming and was seen by thousands, many
of whom were as noisy as the
paraders. Several times the eXuber-
ant Democrats sang Hail. Hail, the
Gangs All Here" The rest of the
time they cheered for Wilson until
their throats were hoarse.

clean and no garbage, ash piles or
manure was allowed to collect. The
streets and alleys were made clean
in each town and infantile par
alysis rapidly disappeared. The
cleaning up of the municipalities SEEM
ed to run parallel with the subsiding
Of the disease.
THE fact that the disease spreads
at times beyond the boundary lines of
these dirty breeding places is no argu-
ment against the theory of cleanliness
as preventative of infantile paralysis.
At present it Is well to look upon filth
and insect life as factors taking a
large part in permitting the so-called
plague to invade our homes.
There has been much said upon the
possibility of an epidemic next year:
This will not necessarily follow. 1t
might, however, and certainly it will,
come back some day.
Cleanliness regarding our chill
dren, homes, stables, yards and towns
as well as guarding our houses from
all kinds of insect life must be insist
ed upon by each individual citizen and
by those in charge of the health and
cleanliness of our towns, country, viii
lagos and homes"

, wagon, before it is neutralized with
soda ash, whitewash or Dominion
Cleanser, through the strainer in or
der to extract from it the visible
manure which it contains.
DIR. E. C. Schroeder of the Bureau
of Animal Industry, United States
Department of Agriculture, says con-
cerning this manure:
| From all our investigation we
know that the commonest way for
tubercle bacilli to pass from the bod
les of tubercular cows is with their
! feces (manure)
This fact, together with the COM
mon presence of tuberculosis among
dairy cows and the frequency with
which dung is found in the milk that
reaches the consumer is clear evil
dence that n considerable proportion
of our dairy products is infected with
tubercle bacilli.
LAS long as the use of tubercular
cows is permitted by the State the
manner in which dairy products are
distributed will insure that practic-
ally every member of the human fam
lily is exposed to tuberculosis.
Tuberculosis is so common among
dairy cows that milk producers fire.
tquently assert that a milk famine
would be one of the results if the
tuberculin test were applied to all
dairy cattle and if all those reacting
were condemned for dairy purposes"
The butter industry knows we'll that
one of the prolific sources of bovine
tuberculosis in the human family is
| butter.
At enormous expense public insti-
tutions, some of them privately en-
dowed and some of them supported
by the public treasury, are collecting
70 &c tIN,e
question, tabulating them and dis
missing them.
While the United States Public
Health Service was finding that
among 172 samples of city milk ex-
amined, 121 samples, or 70 per cent.
contained sediment after standing
few hours in the original container.
which sediment consisted in part of
manure, the dairy school OF the Uni
versity of Wisconsin was engaged in
taking this manure out of the cream
churned by its students into butter
without pasteurizing the cream be-
forehand.
Among 444 samples of centrifuge
slime extracted from butter Drs. Herr
and Behinde, as reported by the
United States Government, found go
samples which contained tubercle
bacilli.
In refusing to apply the safeguard
to their product which pasteurization
affords the butter makers, who know
only too we'll the dreadful conditions
to be found among the dairy herds
of New York, Wisconsin, Iowa. Min
| nesota and Illinois, are deaf to this
statement published by the United
States Government over the signature
of DR.. Schroeder:
Tuberculosis among dairy cows is
one of the greatest dangers to which
public health is exposed and every
| effort should be made by those who
have the welfare of humanity at heart
to correct this great evil'
The voice of DR.. Schroeder will be
heard again in these chapters. and as
the sins of the butter making industry
are one by one laid bare perhaps the
public, through it's REPRESENTATIVE
will at last be moved to action in its
| own behalf.

DR.. Dixon Points Out the Way
Future Outbreaks of Disease
Can Be Avoided

State Commissioner of Health Dixon
in a statement regarding health is
sued on Saturday urges people to
clean all the year round. The health
chiefs remarks are notable because OF
the prevalence of infantile paralysis
this year.
DR.. Dixon says:
1T used to be the custom for house
wives to cleanse their homes twice a
year and now advanced sanitation re-
quires that the home must be kept
clean at all times.
"rhe benefit of cleanliness about the
home reflects both upon the physical
health and the morality of our people
The necessity of cleanliness in our
homes has become so manifest that 1t
is not worth while to dwell further
upon it.
During the recent battle against in
fantile paralysis, we took two small
towns which were badly infected with
the disease and had the homes cleans
ed, insect life destroyed food kept

CHAPTER 1870.
The Very Things That Cold Storage
Fails to Do in Protecting the Con-
sumer of Infected Butter From the
Dangers of tuberculosis, Septic
Sore Throat, Scarlet Fever, Typhoid
Fever, Diphtheria, and Other But
ter-BoTne Diseases Have Been
Used by the Butter Industry as
Arguments to Account for Its Neg
Icct to Heed the Warnings of Of
ficials Who Have Been Afraid to
Go Further Than Warnings.
AS 1900 Borden wagons began the
delivery. on the morning of Oct. A,
1915, of thousands of pounds Of pas
teurized butter, safe for children to
eat. the owners of millions of pounds
of raw butter, snugly stored in the re-
frigerator warehouses of the country
waiting better prices, began telling
themselves that the fad for honestly
pasteurized butter was all nonsense.
I have carefully preserved a record
CT the astonishing statements made
on this subject in the trade papers
devoted to the butter industry.
Even If the cows are tubercular,"
they argued. "or If the butter-m makers
or the employees of the print rooms
should be diseased, cold storage kills
all the germs and raw butter is there
fore just as safe as pasteurized but
ter although pasteurized butter costs
from a fourth to q half cent a pound
more"
This statement is characteristic of
the persistence with which butter
makers have ignored all the truths
that painstaking research has devel-
oped for their guidance in connection
with the easily controllable and easily
preventable dangers of the production
and distribution of raw butter.
The important thing in the butter
industry is the interest of the gam
bier and speculator, whose job it is
to buy in June, July and August as
much butter as they can for as little
money as possible, and then to shove
their stuff, which they never see, into
storage for high winter prices.
Cold storage. contrary to their argu-
ment, does not kill the tubercle
bacilli.
Cold storage does not kill the germs
of diphtheria. septic sore throat, scar
let fever typhoid fever. measles, or
any other butter-borne disease.
The United States Department of
Agriculture has gone to the trouble
of establishing this fact. 1t has been
proved conclusively that even after a
year of freezing in cold storage viru-
lent tubercle bacilli are recoverable
from tubs of raw dairy butter.
OF course butter men owning mil
lions of pounds of raw butter in stor-
age are not prepared to accept the
revelation of science until driven by
law to do so.
These millions of pounds of cold
storage raw butter are responsible for
the repression of all efforts to enact
Statewide pasteurization laws
throughout the country.
Cold storage means everything and
pasteurization means nothing to the
centralzlng plants, renovating plants.
and creameries of Wisconsin, Iowa.
Minnesota, and Illinois, of the inde-
cencies of which l have been an eye
witness.
One of these indecencies is SYM
bolized by the strainer found in the
receiving room of all such butter
making institutions.
1t is the custom in these places to
pass the cream delivered by rail or
