Rev. and Mrs. Peterman Leave.

On June l, 1912, Rev. and Mrs
r. E. Peterman. of Gettysburg,
came to McConnellsburg to re.
side, after Mr.. Peterman had ac.
cepted a call to the pastorate Of
the McConnellsburg and BIZ
Cove Tannery Lutheran churches
Mr.. and Mrs. Peterman at once
entered heartily into the work OF
the churches, as we'll as taking
active part in other social and
religious matters in Big Cove.
Among the first public work of
Mr.. Peterman was the Boy Scout
organization. In this he labored
faithfully against many discour-
aging features, chief of which,
as we understand, was the lack
of sufficient funds to make the
work as efficient as the earnest
leader would have liked to wit
ness.
Showing great earnestness in
the work of the temperance cause
and making conscience his guide
in the work, he was accepted as
leader in the work in this coun-
ty, and through his untiring eff
forts, a great change Of senti-
ment was made in favor of clean
err living. He made both ene-
mics and friends by his faithful
adherence to principle.
Some time during this summer
Mr.. Peterman received a call to
a church in Hicksville, Long Is
land, which he at once accepted.
To a NEWS reporter, Mr.. Peter
man said that he regretted to
leave his first charge after he
had labored so hard to bind the
two congregations into effective
working units, but he believed
the time had arrived when an
other could take up the work and
carry it forward more efficiently.
Mrs. Peterman, by her kindly
disposition, and by her literary
accomplishments, endeared her.
self to people of the County. We
would not forget little Bobby Ad-
ans, their son, who smiled his
way into the heart of friends of
the parents. All three left for
their new home last Monday fol-
lowed by best wishes possible for
their continued happiness and
usefulness.

A STITCH IN TINE.
Little Talks Oh Health and HJglere by
Samuel G. Dixon, N. D., IL. D.,
Commissioner Of Hsalih.

The combination Of green ap-
pies and small boy usually makes
work for the doctors about this
season Of the year.
The temptation Of unripe fruit
is not the only danger which wise
parents must guard their youngs-
ters against at this time of the
year. Owing to the extreme
heat and the variety Of diet, it is
not at all unusual for children to
develop serious digestive disturb
ances.
These are among the first
symptoms of infantile paralysis
as well as numerous other diseas-
es Of childhood. The exact re-
lation Of this condition to. the dis
ease has not as yet been deter
mined. The unnatural fermen-
tation might help the germ of
infantile paralysis to multiply.
For this reason it is especially
important that intelligent super
vision should be exercised over
the diet of children.
All food should be cooked.
They should not be permitted to
eat white bread in excessive
amounts and sour bread should
never be fed to children. Too
many sweets are apt to upset the
digestion at this season of the
year.
With bottle-fed infants, care
should be taken to keep the milk
at temperature of from forty
to sixty degrees until it is pre-
pared for feeding. The nipples
of the nursing bottle should be
sterilized before they are used
and the water which babies, in
common with all Of US require in
unusual amounts during the hot
weather, should be sterilized by
boiling.
By following these simple pre-
cautions it may be possible to
spare children from digestive
disturbances which may lead to
serious complications, even to the
preparation of the way for infan-
tile paralysis if the germ comes
along.

TRENCH EXPERIENCE.
How II Feels TO Be Where Death Stalks
Abroad. Scout Work Demands
Nerve and Cool Heads.

Many Americans are in the
trenches in Europe. Through
their letters to home folks we Of
ten get seemingly closer views Of
individual experience in this aw-
ful war. The following extracts
are from a letter to Thomas +.
Carson, of Baltimore, from his
nephew, Thornton M. Carson,
who is fighting with the Allies.
The Carsons are we'll known to
many Big Cove people. Hon. d.
Hunter Patterson, Of Webster
Mills, is a brother of Mrs. Thom-
as E. Carson.
Scout Carson has been wound
ed three times, the first being on
April "a, 1915, at the battle of
Ypres. February of this year he
received his third slight wound.
He says the'sensation of having
army surgeons press your skull
to determine if it is cracked"
makes one feel queer.
Il don't think Ineed explain, "
he continues, that the scouts
are sent out at night to investi-
gate and report on the condition
Of the enemy's barbed-wire en-
tanglements, any movement of
troops that can be detected, or
working parties out in front. If
any are discovered it is reported
to the company commanders, and
almost as soon as it takes to tell
it the artillery and the machine
guns are directing a torrent of
fire at the approximate position
reported.
Sometimes when the COM
manders are in doubt as to the
identity Of the enemy troops in
the opposite trenches we are sent
out to capture one Of their list
ening posts and bring back some
evidence to show who they are.
In such a time the command is to
go out and get Fritzy,' but it
sounds a whole lot easier than it
really is."
Cigarettes, Carson says, are
about the greatest thing a man
could have under bombardment.
Without Them" he says, the
avarage fellow is not nearly as
cool and unperturbed; they seem
to quiet your nerves as nothing
else will, and they are the first
thing a wounded Tommy asks
for. l have seen a fellow with
his head so bandaged up that
only his mouth could be seen, his
arms useless at his side, putting
away at a cigarette held for him
by a comrade, perfectly content
ed. Previously that same man
had been unable to lie quiet from
the pain of the wounds. The
boys also appreciate chocolates
and cakes"

The Averaue Price of Conner

We have received a letter which has been unfor- tunately mslad. from a reader Hayden making inquiry concerning the difference between daily price taken from the Mining Engineering Journal. It stated in the letter that while the prices quoted in The Republican for a long time had been in the neighborhood of 2S cents a pound the average of the Mining and Engineering Journal had been 26 cents pound. It appears that the wage the of the Mining and Engineering Journal and that therefore, the residents copper towns and camps are more vitally interested in the copper erages than they in the baseball averages
 We only know that there processes. at least three, employed variousy, by the Mining and Mining World of Chicago, for arriving at the average price of copper. The processes said to be very intricate and involve several factors but the re- suits practically the It is claimed that the price is based refined bullion in New York which has been subjected a process eastern smelters leaves the smeters of the west, and that there is loss shrnkage of about cents q pound That would account for the difference of which the cor respondent writes, between the Mining Engineer ing Journals and the daily published report

 The object of Mir. Breen the thoughts of citizens toward investigation of the country's conditions they exist and have merely taken it for granted that they exist. As Mir Breen says: There should be day when the real inside truth of national condition should be told the people straight from the shoulder That will be beneficial than parades and fireworks.
 If Patriotic Week" generally observed throughout the country the advocates of national preparedness would have easier than has been set for them.
