INDUSTRIES HEAVY TOLL.
o1,241 Pennsylvania Workers Dead or
 Injured In Five Months. <


 Sixty-one regiments of workers were wounded in the industries of Pennsyl- vania during the first five months of 1916, and more men than would con- plete one half the enrolment of a war strength regiment were killed during the same period.
 This declaration was made by Com missioner John Price Jackson of the department of labor, who presented data indicating that 954 workers had been killed in Pennsylvania industries between Jan. and June 1, 1916, and 1O0,2S7 others injured. The total of killed and wounded reaches 101,241.
 Counting approximately 1900 men to a regiment, on war strength foot ing in the United States army, one can realize that the same number of fatali- ties as occurred in Pennsylvania s mines and factories during the first five months of this year would annihi- late more than half a regiment" said Commissioner Jackson.

HOW TO AID FIGHT ON
 INFANTILE PARALYSIS.

Here is advice by healthH bhori- ties on how parents and otDsks can aid in preventing the spread of in fantile paralysis:
 Keep away from houses placard- ed for infantile paralysis.
 Refrain from kissing or caressing children until complete personal cleanliness has been effected. A further routine precaution can be taken by using a simple mouth wash of salt borax or 1 per cent peroxide of hydrogen.
 Watch the health of your child.
 An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
 Do not lightly regard ip children seeming unimportant complaints of headache, cramps or pains in the limbs.
 Summon a physician whenever you are in doubt.

 Congress begins another week with slender prospects of an early adjourn ment ahead. Four of the administra- tion's most important legislative meas ures remain to be put through, and Democratic leaders see chances of a session lasting into the fall.

The Daybreak slipped out of muddy Albemarle canal in tow of her polished mahogany launch just as an omni- vorous fog sifted in from Hampton roads. Commodore Keelson's trim schooner yacht was on the way via the inside route from his leafy winter home at Ortona, Fla, to his cool sum mer retreat at Rivermouth, on the Maine coast.
 Needless to say the owner was not aboard.

 He tore open his ample blue coat and sanked a fragrant wad of pink envel. opes from a tight breast pocket. A faint perfume filled the smoky cabin While a pudgy fist guarded the pre- cious documents Sponson was allowed to gaze for brief instant at the magic words:

 As Sponson was ostensibly only go ing out to the grounds again to dog the mackerel theEe seemed no reason why her crew should have got her under way so stealthily when the silvery moon rays leaked through the first riff in the clouds about midnight.
 And as Gale was avowedly going home leisurely through the canals there seemed no excuse why he should have followed the Gloucester man tC sea so feverishly when the anchor watch routed him out and apprise6 him of her departure.
