Preliminary Educational Meeting.

The preliminary educational
meeting held at Nsedmore Sept
ember 5, opened with twenty
eight teachers present from the
districts of Belfast, Bethel, Un-
ion, Thompson and Ayr which
speaks we'll for the teachers.
The meeting was called to or
der by our county superintendent
Prof. j. Emery Thomas. Mr..
Orben Hebner was elected presi-
dent and Miss Alice Brewer sec
retary.
The first topic which was thor
oughly discussed was "The pro-
fessional teacher" In the dis
cussion scholarship was consider
ed first in Importance to become
a professional certificate teacher.
A teacher to be fully qualified
must possess other qualities than
scholarship alone, as our future
citizens depend to great extent
upon the training received in our
public schools.
Second Topic; How should a
teacher spend his evenings dur
ing the school term? This topic
was well discussed. Mr.. Scott
Alexander one Of Ayr townships
most successful teachers gave
some very good suggestions on
this important subject. During
the five school days the evenings
should be spent in the teachers
recreation and preparation for
the next days work.
Third topic: Conduct of a teach
er. |. In school. 2. On the play
ground. 8. In the community in
which he resides. The conduct
of a teacher should be worthy of
imitation.
Fourth topic: How can teach
ers secure cooperation of pa
rents? If we can secure suffi-
cient interest from our pupils, it
will not be difficult to secure CO.
operation of parents.
Prof. Thomas gave a very in
teresting and instructive talk on
each TOPIC which we feel will be
Of much benefit to the many
teachers present.

Read Your Policy.

On most insurance policies
there is printed in plain letters:
READ YOUR POLICY. The
reason one pays good money for
insurance is, that he wants pro-
lection.
The policy is a contract in
which the insurance company,
party of the first part, for a con-
sideration, agrees to do certain
things. The party of the second
part, agrees to do certain things.
1t takes a lot of fine print on in
surance policies to tell just what
the insured must do in order to
make the policy valid. This is
hard reading, but it pays to read
every word Of it, and then to
read it again.
There are very few agreements
that the average man will sign,
and know as little about what he
is signing as an insurance policy.
This is true of all forms ofinsur-
ance whether il be life. acci-
dent, or fire.
The average man feels the
need of protection. He consults
an agent-or maybe the agent
consults him. The agent tells
him how much it will cost, the
applicant pays the money, the
agent delivers the policy. The
insured takes the policy home,
put it carefully away. If a fire
occurs, he turns to his policy, and
for the first time READS it. 1t
is then, for the first time, he dis
covers that there are conditions
in the policy that he was not
aware of-conditions that practi-
cally annul the value of the poll
cy.
Do not misunderstood us. We
are not knocking insurance. We
believe in it. But we do want
that you shall read your policy
until you understand its provi-
sions. Then you will know on
what to depend if misfortune
come.

Old Coin.

Uncle" John Ham of Saluvia
and Chas. J,>Eagan, Of Midland,
Nd, called at this office last Sat-
urday. Mr.. Ham had in his pos
session a silver three-cent piece
which he found along the Lin
coin Highway last Thursday be-
tween Ed Hendershot's and j. A
Stewards. What makes the
finding Of the coin of especial in
terest to the finder is, that about
65 years ago he and his father
were going from Harrisonville to
Saluvia in company with the late
Samuel Sharpe. AT the point in
road where the coin was found,
Mr. Ham remembers that Mr..
Sharpe took ahandfulof change"
from his pocket, dropping some
at the side of the road. Mr.,
Ham believes that the piece he
found was a piece that Mr..
Sharpe had failed to recover that
day.

For the Sake Of the Babies.

Harrisburg, Pa, Sept. las
a part of their campaign to COM
bat infantile paralysis through
out the state, women physicians
identified with the suffrage or
ganization collaborating have is
sued a list of precautions in var
ious languages. To prevent in
fant diseases, the suffrage physi-
clans say it is necessary to OBJ
serve the following rules during
hot weather.
Clean bodies, clean finger nails
clean clothes, clean houses, clean
yards, clean food, clean water
and clean milk.
Finger nails short and clean.
Cut every second day. Dirty fin
ger nails are the greatest source
of sickness-even greater than
dirty milk. Cut finger nails-do
not bite them.
Two tepid tub baths day for
children of all sizes and ages.
Little clothing. A cotton shirt
sleeveless-diaper and very thin
dress. No shoes and stockings
or bands. Guard the baby from
sudden changes in the weather.
When it becomes suddenly cold
put on stockings and an extra
shirt. Keep the hair short.
Plenty of sleep. Out of door
sleeping is excellent. Afternoon
nap for the growing children.
Babies should be left alone as
much as possible-not handled or
carried about.
Screen houses and porches
against flies and mosquitoes.
Keep children out of the hot
sun. Do not take them down
town. Do not take them shop
ping.
Do not let the baby sleep on a
pillow, 1t is too hot.
Plenty of good food. Under
three years of age no raw fruit,
melons, ice cream, ice cream soda
and candy. Children of no age
tea or cofee-not even a taste.
Plentyof good milk and plenty
of good drinking water. Keep
milk cold and sweet.
A sick child should be kept
apart from others until the doc
tor has called.
Castor Oil is a good cure-all.

Fell From Motorcycle.

One day last week, while a mo-
torcycle carrying a man and a
woman from Johnstown was de-
scending east side of Sideling
Hill, the woman was in some
manner, thrown off. A passing
auto picked up the injured wo-
man and brought her to DR.. Mos
ser's Office in McConnellsburg.
In addition to the shock, she was
slightly cut on the head and one
arm had some of the skin knock
ed off near the elbow. The in
jured lady was taken back to
Johnstown in an automobile.

Last Sunday morning Mrs.
Virginia Brant, Mrs. Demaris
Davis, Mrs. Margaret Kesselring,
Chester and Edwin Brant-with
Edwin at the wheel-motored to
Loysburg to visit Mr.. and Mrs.
Harry Brant. The day was ideal
for such an outing, the scenery
grand, their appetites keen, and
the dinner-well, it was just
great They staid at Harry's
until $3.50 o'clock, when they re-
turned by way of Yellow Creek,
Hopewell, Wells Tannery, and
New Grenada, reaching their re-
spective homes by $50. The
ladies enjoyed the trip immense
ly and they are profuse in ex-

generosity in giving them such a
nice trip.

Fault Of Many Drivers.

Every automobile driver ought
to read the verdict of a Roches-
ter coroner on the death of a wo-
man who was killed by an auto
mobile while crossing a public
street. He said: THE evidence
in this case shows plainly the
fault of most drivers of motor
cars in blowing their horn when
close to persons crossing the
street and depending upon the
startled person to get out of the
way. If the motorists would use
better judgment and would think
about stopping their car when
there is any possibility of strik-
ing anyone, instead of sounding
their horn and putting the re-
sponsibility on the pedestrian, a
large percentage of these acci-
dents would be averted. "

SODA FOUNTAINS AND SOFT DRINKS.
Little Talks on Health and Hy giene by
Samael G. DiIon, N. D., IL. D.,
Commissioner Of Health.


The soda fountain has become
a National institution. The fact
that it is universally used is not
however, to be taken as a recon-
mendation. Naturally during
the warm months there is an un-
usual hankering for cool liquids.
What the system really Graves in
hot weather is water. Cool wa
ter not ice cold. There is a na-
tural demand and one that should
be supplied.
We have required a taste for
sweetened concoctions which mas
querade under the names of all
the fruits that were found in the
Garden of Eden and others nev-
er heard of except on soda foun-
tain advertisements. The bulk
Of these are chemical products in
which no actual fruit is used.
They are seldom nourishing.
In very hot weather a glass or
so of these sweetened liquids will
often interfere materially with
the digestion and their tendency
is to lessen the normal appetite
for nourishing food.
Palatable summer drinks can
be made with the pure fruit jul
ces to which cool water is added.
Sherbets made in this manner
are far more palatable and re-
freshing than the. sickly sweets
which are the common offering
of the soft drink emporiums. Ice
cold drinks irritate the stomach
and produce catarrh sooner or
later.
There is another factor con-
nected with the serving of drinks
soft or otherwise which is open
to the severest criticism. In
many places the provision for
the cleansing of the glasses is
inadequate. Too often a hasty
sousing in a tank Of water is the
only washing which they receive.
1t is a well known fact that
washing utensils in cold water
is not sufficient to proper y
cleanse them and destroy germ
life.
The evils of the public drink
ink cup have been thoroughly ex.
plotted and all too often the soda
glass comes within this category.

A steel roof is all that saved the

NccONNELLSDURG'S CHAUTAUQUA.
Tuesday, Wednesday, ard Thursday,
October 3, 4 and 5. The Great
Literary Event Of The Year.

J F'NHt " ~
The Chautauqua idea is not a
new one. More than a quarter
of a century ago, one of the most
prominent men in the country
conceived the plan Of bringing
the public together for period
of time longer or shorter-that
they might give themselves en-
tirely over to the enjoyment of
that which instructs and elevates
the mind.
Thousands of towns and cities
all over the country have availed
themselves Of the idea, but it
was not until one year ago that
McConnellsburg fell in with the
movement. OF course, it was
only necessary to fallin. To fall
in meant to stay in. 1t was then
found that we might have the
benefit of the best entertainers,
lecturers, and teachers at the
minimum of cost. 1t was found
that we could have at home en-
tertainers that we would have to
pay seventy-fve cents and a dol
lar for at Chambersburg, Harris
burg, or Philadelphia, for one
third of that sum.
So well pleased were the citi-
zens of McConnellsburg, that at
the close Of last years "Chau-
tauqua," twenty-five or more
persons signed a contractmaking
themselves responsible for the
expenses connected with having
one in 1916. Every arrangement
has now been perfected; the pro-
gram made; the time set, The
only thing remaining is to "whoop
it up" get everybody interested,
and make it a grand success.
Itisnota money-making scheme
No free tickets for the promoters.
Everybody in it is working for
the good of the community, and
the men who guarantee the sale
of the tickets, pay for their own,
same as other people.
What does it all mean? Simply
that it will be held afternoon and
evenings of each of the three
days, in the auditorium of the
High School Building. 1t means
that TWO first class lectures or
entertainments will be given at
each session, making in all twelve
lectures and entertainments. 1t
means that a ticket costing but
one dollar and twenty-five cents
will give you the privilege of the
entire twelve entertainments, a
little more than ten cents each,
by buying a season ticket.
The Chautauqua thus means
that you buy your entertainments
at wholesale prices. If you wish
to buy them singly, you will have
to pay retail prices, which is ne
cessarily higher.
The program for this years
Chautauqua is simply great.
Tickets will be on sale at Sey-
lars Drug Store, at l O'Clock,
Wednesday afternoon, Septem-
ber 2Oth, when purchasers will
have an opportunity to select
seats in the auditorium and hold
the same for the entire time,
without paying anything extra
for the reserved seat privilege,
Do not forget the time and place.
Get in early while getting is
good.
