" HE little ones are often fond OF
putting beads and stones up
their noses. If such thing
happens In the house or out
doors place finger on the opposite
nostril and blow very sharply into the
childs mouth, the stone will then drop
out. The habit Is a dangerous one. but
the remedy is fortunately simple and
effectual.

DR.. B. W. TruaY Hurt.

The Burr Oak, Kansas, Herald
of May 3 contained the following
account of an accident to DR.. B.
W. TruaX, of this place. The
Doctor is a brother-in-law of ex-
County Treasurer, Samuel A.
Hess, of this county.
DR.. B. w. Truax the veterina-
rian, and Clare Shupp, his driver,
had a serious auto accident Mon
day, several miles west of town.
Loose dirt at the side of a high
fill caused the machine to upset
into the ditch below, turning over
completely once, and halfway
over the second time. Clare was
caught under the wheel, with
the weight on his chest and suf
fered bad cut on his head. He
has since been in rather serious
conditions, but with hopes for
his recovery. The doctor was
temporarily stunned and con.
siderably bruised but not severe.

A single issue of a New York
Sunday paper is said to consume
the timber from fifteen acros OF
forest. If Pennsylvania's State
Forests were fully stocked, they
could furnish enough pulpwood
to keep forty Sunday papers 60
ing indefinitely.
Forest fires in tn e United
States have caused an average
annual loss of seventy human
lives and twenty-five to fifty
million dollars worth of timber.
The indirect losses run close 10
half a billion a year.
If the 25, 000 600 trees planted
on the Pennsylvania State For
ests were set four feet apart, as
they actually are in the woods,
and planted in a straight line,
they would cover almost $4,000
miles. PIantedtwenty feet apart
they would provide shade trees
on both sides of 10000 miles of
higl way.

lNFANTILE PARALYSIS OUTLOOK.
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene by
Samuel G. Dixon, N. D., IL. D.,
Commissioner of Health.

We are fast approaching the
warm months of the year that
favor Infantile Paralysis.
Last year the public lost its
nerve. This season it is hoped
that the epidemic will not reap
pear.
From the history of the dis
ease it would not be surprising if
we had comparatively little this
year, yet no man can perdict
what nature may do.
The health authorities are
alert and busy doing all those
things they believe can in any
way lessen the chances of having
another epidemic.
To contract the disease it may
require direct contact with the
sick. This, however, is far from
being a settled question.
The well must be kept from
the sick, however, in human life.
While the disease is lurking about,
no well child should be exposed
to one showing the least illness.
The sick should be quarantin-
ed, the State Health Department
has always held, for two weeks.
The discharges from the bow
els, throat or nose should be dis
infected. The nurse or the one
in care of t,a sick should wear
a gown and tee face and hands
should be washed or disinfected
before mingling with those out
side the sick room.
III the conditions Of home are
bad and the child cannot be iso-
lated or kept alone, the hospital
is the best place for it. This
should be done very early in the
sickness as quiet and rest are
essential to recovery. A doctor
experienced in treating the dis
ease and a nurse with like ex-
perienced in treating the disease
add much to the chances of re-
covery.
Travelling with children and
congregating them in groups
should be discouraged.

Our Apples in Favor.

gaining in favor over western
products. This, of course, in
cludes Fulton county apples, than
which, no finer can be grown in

section that a bill was recently
passed to regulate the packing of
apples in Pennsylvania. We
never saw finer samples of apples
than were shown in this office

as described by James Stewart
last week, and again by the

ought to be made by Fulton coun.
ty people this fall and winter.

Notice Of 5. 5. Convention.

Last weeks issue of the News
contained the program for the
Sunday school convention to be
held at Needmore, May "a ano
rs, 1917. A good program is be.
fore our people and it is earnest.
ly hoped that a full attendance
will greet our state and local
workers. The Importance of the
S. S. work cannot be over esti-
mated. When war rumors and
alarms are so numerous, ought
not Christian people to work with
their Great Leader towards peace
with victory? To neglect organi-
zation is to invite disaster. A
noble army of young people is
growing up in Fulton county.
Shall they not have the best pos
slble training for Christian SER
vice? Apparently, our failure of
the past has been in not sending
earnest young people to our
County Conventions. Every S.
S. superintendent in the County
is urged to send delegates, to-
gether with the yearly contribu-
tions. The benefits are for those
who contributed, as no salaries
are paid. Some of the schools
have, up to this time, failed to
send in their yearly statistical
report The secretaries will
please attend to this important
matter at once. Let all our
schools make the Convention a
subject of earnest prayer.

cares OF the two churches on ac-
count of his health which was
rapidly making it impossible for
him to meet all the responsible
ties of his charges. To this his
people sorrowfully agreed, and
at a recent meeting of Presby-
terry, Mr.. Groves application
was confirmed and he was au-

pulpits vacant.
On December 16, 1884, Rev.
Grove drove through a big snow

the scene of his former pastorate

place he served his first pastoral
charge for a period of twelve

in the spring of 1885 he bought
mis- present home and brought
his family to town and occupied
his own house where he has
lived ever since.
In the spring of 1912 Rev. S.
B. Houston resigned as pastor of
the Associate Presbyterian church
a few miles south of McConnells-
burg and Mr.. Grove was called
to preach for them quite frequent
ly until September Of that year
when that congregation made
application to be received into
the United Presbyterian Church
and by agreement Mr.. Grove be-
came pastor of both congrega-
tons. 1t will be seen that the
First Church in McConnellsburg
enjoyed the continued service of
their pastor for a period o f
almost thirty.three years. long
time for a man to preach to the
same people. The loving ties of
friendship will not be severed,
however, for Mr.. Grove and his
faitheful wife will continue their
residence here and after he takes
a much needed rest, he expects
to minister to the spiritual needs
of his people whenever they may
call upon him. Twice during his
pastorate here he received calls
to go here, both of which
he declined.
To those whose memories re-
call the stirring times of more
than fifty years ago, the reunion
of the two congregations last
Sabbath was pleasing indeed.
