GALE OF ELECTRIC POWER
in COUNTY AUTHORIZED
Two Cases Involving YOughiO-
gheny HydrO-Electric Cor
pOratiOn Are Settled

Hearings in six cases were held on
Tuesday before the Public Service
Commission of Maryland at its offices
in Baltimore.
Two cases involving the Youghio-
gheny ydro-Electric Corporation of
Garrett county were settled when the
Commission approved the exercise by
this company of franchises to supply
electricity to the community of
Friendsville, Garrett county.
Franchises to supply electricity to
the communities of Mountain Lake
Park and Deer Park, by the West
Maryland Power Company (Penn Sys-
tem) also were approved by the Com
mission.
The two cases originating with re-
gard to Friendsville was the applica-
tion of the Youghiogheny Hydro
Electric Corporation to purchase the
privately owned plant now supplying
electricity to the town, the former
owner, Mr.. Leslie E. Friend, having
sold the same some time ago to the
corporation, and the exercise of the
frachise granted the Youghiogheny
corporation to operate within the linn
its Of the town.
Hearing was also held on the ap-
plication of the Southern Gas and
Power Company for approval of its
purchase of a power plant at Mar
tinsburg, West Va, for approximate
ly S150,000.
"The commission recognizes that
its power does not extend across the
State line into West Virginia" Mr..
West, of the commission is quoted as
saying.
GAS this company conducts a bust
ness in Western Maryland and West
Virginia and we felt acquisition of
the Martinsburg plant would affect
its business in Maryland, we under
fNeok to approve the purchase by this
bmpany of the Martinsburg plant"

Wednesday, January 7th, was the
occasion of little Miss Mary Moore
Hinebaugh's fourth birthday and her
first party. She had twenty little
folks invited for the afternoon, all of
whom brought beautiful little pres
ents consisting in part of six pairs of
socks, two rings, candy boxes, combs,
handkerchiefs and 500 in money. The
children sang songs, played games
and then were invited into the dining
room where a two-course luncheon
was served. The table was covered
with a cloth that was brought from
Belfast, Ireland, and was decorated
with blooming potted plants, while
the birthday cake was trimmed with
pink candles and white roses. At
each plate there was a little yellow
roll containing a fancy paper cap to
be worn during the luncheon. Each
child was given a favor containing
candy. Mary Moore blew out the
candles and refreshments were then
served to the entire company, which
in addition to the children, included
the little girls mother, Mrs. Nor
gan Hniebaugh, all four of her grand

Sodium Fluorid Useful
in Treating Poultry

Sodium duorid is an insecticide used
in treating poultry for lice by plac-
ing just Il small BIT Of it at different
points in the feathers of the fowl
where lice are usually found AL
though ii Is Il poisonous substance, the
poultry DO not seem t. 2et enough Of
It into their digestive system to- cause
trouble. II used on cattle there would
be more danger Of poisoning because
cattle would be more likely to get it
into their digestive system by licking
themselves.
For cattle mixture of one-halt
powdered sabadila seed and one-half
sulphur is favored. This can be spread
along the backs and necks Of cattle
where the lice are most likely to be,
and will be found quite effective in
keeping them in check so that they
will cause very little trouble to the
cattle.

FORCES UNITE TO
FIGHT FAKE CURES

A dispatch has reached the State
Department of Health asking West
Virginia to join in the nationwide
fight against "quack" advertising and
patent medicines Thousands of peo-
pie are fooled each year by deceptive
advertising of fake cures and medl-
cines, and the National Health Coun
Gil, together with the Associated Adj
vertising Clubs of she World met in
special conference May ;, to adopt
resolutions against this practice.
tuberculosis, syphilis, gonorrhea
and cancer are four diseases which
are most dangerous to the lives Of
the American people today. Adyer-
Using Of so-called cures for these
grave diseases is great menace 10
the individual as well as to the com
mcnity health, it was pointed out At
the conference.
Patent medicines do not relieve or
cure the illness for which they are
offered In most instances they are
comparatively harmless, containing
only a simple MIXTURE OF herbs and
roots bu their greatest danger lies
in tie facl that they keep the person
afflicted from receltins the proper
treatment from competent, skilled
ply sician.
Venereal diseases cannot be cured
in a few weeks. Treatment must be
gival III the first stages uf the dis
care ma must be continued yor years
by a doctor who knows his business,
if a cure is to be effected. Many Of
the terrible cases of insanity, para
lysis and idiocy, resulting from syphi-
lis, could have been prevented had
fake advertising been abolished years
ago.
A reader who has been deceived
once by fraudulent advertising soon
loses complete confidence in all forms
OF advertising and this becomes a
decided economic waste.
This recent conference of health,
social and business groups, has urged
West Virginia to join in stamping
out the methods ''quack" advertising
is employing TO deceive unsuspecting
people

POULTRY
FATS
POULTRY DAMAGED
BY DISINFECTANTS


prepared by the United states Department
of Aericulture.l
As result OF the widespread use
Of cheap coal tar products with
strong carholic acid odor for disinfect-
ing poultry houses and coops, large
quantities of poultry contaminated
with the odor have been received at
some Of the big markets. The bureau
of animal industry, United States De
partment of Agriculture, has received
complaints from handlers of market
poultry who have suffered heavy losses
because of the instability of tainted
fowl, one large firm reporting loss
of $4,000 on four cars.
Because of the appearance of Euro
pean fowl pests in certain parts Of
the country, farmers throughout the
East and Middle West. through fear
of this disease. have been doing much
more dsinfecting than usual. In many
instances chemicals with strong and
offensive odors have he"n used, many
Of them not in the list approved by
the department. and in some cases the
results have been aggravated by the
failure to dilute the product. Birds
kept in houses so treated, or shipped
in crates reeking with the odors, alb
sorb them into their bodies where
they remain after the birds have been
killed and dressed. Ii is thought that
another source of the contamination
in dressed birds may have been feed
on which the chemicals have been
sprayed. When such penetrating odors
are present in the dsinfectant used
the birds should not be marketed With
in less than two weeks of the time IL
was used and then not in crates re-
Gently so treated
Coops and poultry houses should al
ways he thoroughly eleansed before
disinfecting. A good plan is where
possible to scrub the interior with hot
I've solution or scalding hot water.
Such cleaning solutions are themselves
good dsinfectants. If scalding hot
water is not available, the coops may
be disinfeeted with a per cent solu-
ton of formadehyde. While this dis

able smell, the odor soon disappears.
II the poultry are marketed for sew
eral weeks thlee per cent solution OF
compound solution of ereosol or a
product of similar composition may be
employed Any cosl tar dsinfectant
is apt to leave an odor which win
gradually disappear.
Many cheap products are now being
sold in response to the unusual de-
mand which has arisen since tie ap7
pearance Of the fowl pest, lI certain
sections peddlers are taking advantage
Of the situation and are going to tie
farms with great variety Of cheap
disinfeetants. sometimes doing the
work for tile farmer Some of them
are selling strong smelling by-products
from local gas plants
The department wishes TO encourage
efforts nj disease prevention eten
though much Of this work is being
done in regions far removed from any
point where fowl pest has been found,
but urges farmers to use the above
mentioned methods which will not
leave d faint in tile fowls when offered
to the consumer.
