A CAUTION TO WAR KNITTERS.
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene by
Samuel 6. Dixen, M. D., IL. D.,
Commissioner OF Health.

| NVbiiuISSlVuST vi IItalln.
The thousands of women and
girls one sees nowadays working
with their needles on socks and
stockings for the soldiers are do
ing a patriotic and necessary SER
vice, but some of them are doing
it wrong. The question of foot
covering in extreme winter
weather has always been a vexed
one with our people. Most of
them have seemed to think that
If you wore socks or stockings of
the heaviest weight wool obtain
able, it naturally followed that
you were making your feet as
comfortable as they could be
made in extreme weather. Many
of our knitters have the same
idea.
This is not so. If you clothe
the feet with too heavy covering
you are merely providing an
over-dressing which will cause
perspiration. This perspiration
will freeze in extreme tempera-
lures and will give the sensation
Of cold and discomfort. The
wearer will then be tempted to
add even more covering, which
will aggravate the condition.
Those who have not been ex-
posed to the severe weather of
our northernmost climate will
perhaps not be able to appreciate
this thoroughly. was a men,
Der of the Commodore Peary
Committee on his first explora.
tion in Arctic circles. Our idea
of the right thing to do was to
stock the kit with plenty of
heavy clothing. The result was
that many of the men had frozen
feet, and the cause was found to
be what | have described above.
The same thing occurred on our
relief expedition, as its members,
of course, had had no opportuni-
ty Of learning the experience of
the first party and profiting by
/ it.
The conditions which our own
soldiers and those of our allies
will have to face next winter will
be, judging by the history of the
present wars previous winter
campaigns, almost as taxing in
many instances as those arctic
parties have to face. Therefore
we must consider carefully what
is best for them.
do not mean to say that socks
and stockings and other clothing
must not be heavy enough to
provide theindispensable warmth,
but | believe a word of caution is
necessary to those who believe
that piling on weight of material
is all that is required.
The lesson is just as important
for those of us who are at home.
Experience has demonstrated
that the dressing of the feet and
limbs requires the incest adjust
ment which will provide warmth
but not induce perspiration.

The CHAUTAUQUA FESTIVAL.
Dsld Wednesday, Thursday aud Friday.
Our Third Year. Splendid Euter.
taiamGalS. Next Years Assured.

With the exception of the lee
lures and entertainments given
each year at the County Institute
our people have no opportunity
of hearing any Of the first class
lectures aud entertainments with
out making a trip to Chambers
burg, Harrisburg or Philadelphia.
In the latter case, the expense
attending the trip to one Of these
places exceeds the cost of admis-
sion to the show, even when it
is so, rs cents and a dollar or
more, single admission.
To provide for the bringing of
first-class entertainers and lee
turefs within the reach of every
body at a nominal cost, the Penn.
sylvania Chautauqua Association,
Of Swarthmore, Pa, was incor.
porated, by philanthropic men
whose only thought was the pro-
viding of elevating entertain
ment and instruction for the
masses. The corporation is nom
dividend paying; that is, if there
is a surplus in the treasury at the
close of this year after the pay
ment Of legitimate expenses, it
is used to provide a higher grade
Of talent for next year. Hence,
every community that supports a
Chautauqua festival, gets just
exactly what it pays for.
Before the Association will
agree to give McConnellsburg g
three days course, it must have
the guarantee backed by respon-
sible citizens, that it shall receive
$4,000 in cash at the opening of
the festival. Then, in addition,
the guarantors must arrange for
the payment Of $35 rent for the
auditorium, janitor service, etc.
This makes a total of $275. 90.
To raise this money, the Associa-
ton furnishes the guarantors
with $275 worth Of season tick
cts which they sell at $l.25
each. In case the guarantors
fail to market the $275 worth of
tickets, they go down into their
clothes and make good the short
age. To show that the Chautau-
qua is growing in popularity, it
may be stated that the season
Just closed is the first time that
the guarantors have come out
whole.
When it is considered that for
the $1,25 the holder is entitled to
a reserved seat in the auditorium
for the entire twelve entertain
ments and lectures, at a cost OF
a little more than ten cents each,
it is little wonder that people are
SO eager to secure tickets in time,
and that the auditorium is always
crowded. Persons who. do not
buy a season ticket pay 35 cents
for the afternoon, and so cents
admission for the evenings.
The auditorium seats a few
more than four hundred persons,
and already 1874 seasons tickets
for the season of 1918 have been
applies for. Buy q season ticket.
II you attend only the night ses-
sions you are in quarter; and if
you do not attend all the night
sessions, you should have no
trouble selling your ticket to
some one who does not have q
season ticket.

At o'clock last Friday after.
noon, the boys with near rela-
tives and hundreds of other
friends assembled at the Court
House-the boys to get their
final instructions and the friends
to give them a royal send-of.
On account of the chill in the at.
moshpere, the doors Of the big
Court Room we're thrown open
and soon every available space
vas filled. The boys under the
leadership Of Russell Stevens
who rad been appointed Captain
by thA local board and would
have CT rge of the men until
turned oN to the proper officers
at Camp Lee filed in, and took
their places o. chairs reserved
inside the rail. "
1t being the day for the Pietro
Mordelia Company to appear at
the Chautauqua, they very kind
ly came to the Court House, and
Pietro with his wonderful pi-
ano-accordion and Miss Buck
the famous violin artist, enter
tanned the audience mostroyally.
The time came all too soon for
the boys to take their leave so
they might be at Fort Loudon
for the 1913 train, and filling out
they boarded automobiles in
waiting to take them away.
Amid the changing of the bells
the long line Of automobiles was
preceded down the hill from the
Court House by the Boy Scouts
and Campfire Girls all in full
uniform, the sidewalks being
crowded by spectators. The lane
on Lincoln Way between Second
Street and First Street, was
fringed by these organizations.
1t was a grand sight, and as one
of the older citizens remarked,
This is the greatest day Nc
Connellsburg has ever seen."
But just then there was an
undue commotion, and a breath
less stiffness came over the crowd
as the word passed eXCitedly,
"A child has been run over!"
This was soon found to be only
too true.
Since the death of his mother
some five years age, little Bobbie
Cunningham had the tenderest
care of loving grandparents, Mr..
and Mrs. John A. Irwin. The
little fellow was standing on the
sidewalk in front of his grand

his aunt on the other side of the
street, and darted forward tow.
