At the big spring he met a man who accost- ed bim and after exbanging one or two commonplace remarks the stranger asked Shivery how he would like to take a bath. Of course at the proper time and under an- spicious conditions Andy would not have been averse to a little dip bat with zero weather and nothing hut she big spring in sight in whioh to take the plange he did not take to the idea very kindly. And in the lew seconds he spent in pondering for an answer he happened to glance at the man’s right band and there he saw a koife; ove that looked to be anywhere from eight inches to a foot in length.

He was not only a practical aud successful farmer bué always took an active interest in everything thas was for the interest of the community in which he lived. That he had the full confidence of all bis neighbors and fellowmen is shown in the fact that he was frequently eleoted to various offices of trust and responsibili- ty in the township in which he lived, not- withstanding the fact that he never court ed publicity nor sought public preferment.

The dispensary is open Tuesdays and Fridaye from 1.30 to 3 30 p. m., at the of- fices of Dr. Geo. F. Harris, who is the State Department of Health's efficient med- ical inspector for this county. Dr. Harris bas been tireless in his work to ges the dis- pevsary under way and so fer has had three patients for treatment. " The dispensary furnishes free medioal treatment and advice to the victims of ta- berouiosis among the poor of Centre coun- ty. Where necessary, indigens patients are supplied with fresh eggs and milk dai- ly. The dispensary officials, however, will guard against being imposed upon to for- nish provisions to other members of the family. Patients are also supplied with paper sputam oups and tissue paper nap- kins. The opening of the Centre county dis- pensary is in live with the work the State Health Commissioner is doing throughout the entire State, over forty such dispsnea. ries having already been opened in as many counties. There are many victims of tu- berounlosis who are not able to go to the State sauatoria, in many cases because they are the wage-earners of their families, and these people must he taken care of. They especially need instruction as to the pre- cautions they must take in their homes and in the work shop so that they may not spread the disease. To give such instruc- tion and follow it up aud see that the pre- cautionary measures are carried out is the great object of the dispensary work. For this reason is will be a mighty factor in stampiog out tuberculosis in this section. Patieaty visiting the dispensary are care- fully examined by the physicians in charge of she clinio. Soch medicine as is needed is given, but the piinoipal reliance will be upon drilling nto every tubercalosis sal- ferer the necessity of plenty of fresi air, proper dies and careful regulation of hab. ita of life. Every patient is urged, of course, to sleep with windows wide open— iv a bamwock swong out of doors if pos- sible. The wage-earner who is obliged to spend a number of hours each day in-doors is made to understand shat if it is impossible for him to chavge his occupation, life cau only be spared by spending all his leisure hours in the open air. Plenty of rest is also necessary for his recovery and so those in charge of the dispensary are helping the patient solve the problem of how to cuntin- ue to earn bis daily wages aud yet secure the necessary amount of rest and fresh air. The question of diet iv receiving especial attention. It is easy to tell a taberculosis patient to eat plenty of fresh eggs and drink a large amount of pure milk, bus to get the patient to do this is another thing, as few of them will consume sufficient egys without constant urging. Usually consumptives are too warmly olad—heavy flannel underwear sapple- mented by thick chest pads is very often worn even in warm sammer weather. The evil effects of this continual over-clothing are 80 often apparent that great care must be taken to give proper advice. Clothing should conform to the weatber. All thie is covered in the advice given to those pa- tients who visit the dispensary. As roon a8 the number of patients war- rant it a trained nuree will be appointed on the dispensary staff to visit the home of every tuberculosis patient who registers at the dispensary. Inside the home the visiting nurse will find out what seem to be the trifling precautions that are uanheed- ed bat the non-observance of which is the principal cause of the spread of she infeo- tion. Is she tooth brush used by the pa- tient kept by the side of the others in thas home ? Is a common towel used ? Does the consumptive use the same bed with any other person ? Is there any disinfection of clothing, bedding, eating utensils and of all other articles used by the patient ? All these things will be carefully investigated by the visising nurse who will also ascer- tain if the patient is using the sputom cups and paper napkins given out at the dispensary. The whole life of the house- hold will be carefuliy studied by the nurse and every member will receive shorough instruction as to what is necessary to pre- vent them from beisg infected by the con- sumptive patient. In many cases the nurse will find a brother or a sister in which tabercnlosis is suspected. The member of the family will be urged to come to the dispensary for examiuation, and many a case will thus be found and placed under treatment at a time that will insare re- covery if proper care is taken. Every effort is being made to bave the work of the dispensary known throughout the county of Centre so that as many as possible may take advantage of is. Re- member treatment will be given without one cents of cost to you, the only stipula- tion being that you follow the regulations closely. Sm A Worp 1p RURAL FREE DELIVERY PATRONS. — The postoffice department calls attention to the practice of some patrons of rural free delivery of placing loose coins in their boxes every Sime they wish to mail a letter instead of supplying them- selves with postage stamps in advance. This practice imposes undue bardship on rural carriers and delays them in she serv ice of their routes. The department, therefore, urgently requests that patrons of rasal delivery will provide themselves and keep on band a supply of stamps consistent with their needs. It is aleo very desirable that patrons place in their mail boxes a small detachable oup of wood or tin in which to place coins, when necessary, in purchasing stamps. —e- Trial List, Following is the trial list for the Febru- ary term of court : FIRST WEEK, FEBRUARY 2TH.

People here are talking of vrohibition, anything they say. to curb the drinking habit. The Evangelical congregation are indebted to Charles McCool for keeping the road open to the church. C. P. Long is able to be up and around during part of the day, but does not appear to mend very rapidly. C. A. Hennigh has purchased the milk route of W. O. Gramley, and delivers milk daily, here and at Penn Hall. Paul Leitzell and Harry Brown placed the flag at the school house at half mast on Mon- day. owing to the assassination of the King of Portugal. There will be considerable moving. and changes here on April 1st. Dwellings seem scarce and no doubt some families will be forced to double up. Messrs. Charles Leitzel and Robert Ken- nelly accompanied by Misses Grace Weaver and Lily Leitzel, attended Locust Grove church on Wednesday evening last. Miss Rosie Smith entertained the members of the A. B. C. club (an organization of young ladies) at her home on Thursday evening last. The occasion proved a most delightful one. Mrs. Jane Nofsker, a venerable lady ninety-one years of age and known by every man, woman and child for miles around as “Aunt Jaue,” is quite ill and bas been con- fined to her bed for several days. So the groundhog evidently saw his shad. ow on Sunday last as the sun shone quite brightly at times. and consequently he re- turned to his habitation to remain a month and a half longer. That means six weeks more of winter, does it? Semuel Stitzer will vacate the old Jerry Condo blacksmith shop en April 1st, having purchased the residence and shop of Floyd Bowersox, who goes to farming near Mifflin. burg. The vacant shop of Jerry Condo will be a good opening for a first-rate black ~ smith. 0. T. Corman, one of our active mer- chants has added frozen fish to his business, which be receives twice a week. As be is the only merchant here dealing in that line he is doing quite a lively business. By the way, Mr. Corman is the Democratic nominee for registration assessor, an excellent momi- nation. We had quite a heavy fall of snow in this valley on Friday night last, continuing until noon on Saturday, and in the afternoon were treated to a blinding blizzard drifting the snow everywhere completely blocking travel and scattering fences in all directions. The high wind continued all day Sunday making bad worse, not a team of any character was seen on the roads all day. It was without exception the worst storm we bave had for years.
