there are hardly any conditions in
life that make for peace. We do, of
course, instil into the minds of our,
children the great doctrine of peace
and do we send them out into the
world endued with the true spirit of
peace and contentment; to take such
a share of the fruits of earth as will
satisfy their most ardent desires and
needs; to seek only a modest COM
potency? Not at all! We send them
cut to fight; to fight for home: to
fight, maybe, for a wife, for riches,
for honor and distinction. It's our
most fervid desire to see them get on
in the world. The ambition of the law

but as you did not know this 1t mean
nothing to you.
Nevertheless there is one thing that
YOU should remember and that is the
State Board of Health would rather
prevent disease without your knowl-
edge of its work than to cure a case
after it has occurred.
The State has just passed through
great epidemic of influenza and II
we may Judge by previous outbreaks
of this disease there will be many left
with a cough; if you are one OF these
you should submit specimen Of your
sputum to laboratory through your
physician, for this is too serious to be
neglected, for many cases Of tuber-
culosis that have been quiescent have
always followed such an outbreak.
The laboratories have not, in the
past been asked to examine one
fourth of the number Of sputa that
should be submitted, for the earlier
in the disease that the fact is known,
the better the chance for recovery.
In fact, the diagnosis that is made
before the ,ubercular bacill can be
demonstrated in the sputum, offers
the best prospect for cure. This is
one reason why the laboratories do
not report the results Of sputum ex
animation to the patient for in this
way much harm might be done as an
individual receiving a negative report
might consider that this meant no in
lection, while a careful physical ex
aminatin of the patient might reveal
an early lesion, and by it's discover.
enable the individual to overcome the
infection in a comparatively short
time.
On the other hand If they waited
until there was a breaking down of
tissues and discharge Of the organ
isms into the air passages, which -
the earliest period they can be found
by the laboratory, it will require a
much longer time to effect a cure, and |
this not only makes it more expensive
in point Of time and money, but it al
so exposes others to the infection.
The laboratories are yours--use them.

PEACE
lRy r. A. Ward.l

(By r. A. Ward.)
All hail, thou dawn of peace,
For wars alarms shall cease
Throughout the earth.
Long have we sought the light,
In darkness of the night,
For triumph of the right
Ger allied wrongs.
Thy light has dawned at last,
The darkest hours are past
In every land.
God grant our noble dead,
Whose blood they freely she'd
Cause freedoms joy to spread
From pole to pole.
No more shall wars alarms
Call peaceful men to arms
BY mans decree.
May thrones return to dust
And crowns consume with rust,
While monarchs, proud, unjust,
Yield up their power.
With joyous notes we'll sing
OF our triumphant King,
Enthroned on high.
His praise shall never cease.
But evermore increase,
For He is prince of Peace
And Lord of life.

But in General Epidemic Is on
Wane All Over the
State

According to reports received from
various sections of the state the ept-
demie of influenza is showing general
signs of abatement but there are
many fresh and serious outbreaks in
certain districts.
Probably the worst sections at the
present time arc Eastern Washington
and Fayette counties and the south
ern section of Westmoreland county.
The townships of Lilly. Cassandra and
Portage in Cambria county also re-
port serious outbreaks and a large
number of cases are reported from
the Tower Hill coal mining sections
near Uniontown
The town of Pennsburg in Mont
Eomery county has many new cases
Rnd Traumbauersville and Spinners-
town in Bucks county are i'm the grip
cases also at Powder Valley in Lehigh
county.
During the last two days many
new cases have developed in the city
of Scranton and its outlying districts
and the city health authorities are Sc
riously considering the enforcing OF
new closing orders i'm order to pre-
vent the spread of the disease. The
health authorities are confident .hat
the increased number of cases in
Scranton is due to the premature
opening of saloons and public places
and to the recent peace celebrations

SIX HUNDRED
COLLEGE YOUTH
TAKE THE TOWN
Lads Here From Gettysburg
and Lewisburg For Foot
ball Game

Six hundred military students from
Bucknell and Gettysburg hit Harris
burg with jolt to-day, arriving for
the game on the island at $50 and
fairly took possession of the mu-
nicipality. The Bucknell squad, led
by Coach Wingart, student of Glenn
Warmers in old Carlisle days, put up
at the Columbus; the Battlefield
bunch moored to the Hotel Bolton.
Coach Leathers, of Gettysburg, had
about three hundred in his retinue
and the Bucknellers numbered about
the same. The ranks were marked
by many a red-cheeked country boy,
who looked uncomfortable in his
khaki uniform, but nevertheless was
full of pep.
The two brigades had a brief
walk-around when they arrived and
at l o'clock both swung into reel
ing, quivering snake lines and polish
ed up the main streets with their
merriment. Rivalry was high, each
team having won a game, with one
tie.
Hundreds of motorists whizzed
over the bridge and were somewhat
startled to find that the Park De-
partment allowed none on the field.
The order was responsible for filing
up the grandstand, behind which the
empty cars were parked.
Cheer leaders made the welkin
ring. Gettysburg rooters lined up on
one side and Bucknell on the other.
Many athletes from Tech witnessed
the battle, signing that their magnifi-
cent football machine was not a con-
tender
