ow « _ Demo aca Bellefonte, Pa., January 28, 1916. MISS HURRY AND MISS STEADY, Little Miss Hurry, All bustle and flurry, Comes down to her breakfast ten minutes too lale; Her hair is a-rumple, Her gown is a-crumple, She’s no time to button and hook herself straight. She hunts and she rushes For needles and brushes, For books and for pencils flies upstairs and down; If ever you'd find her, Just follow behind her A trail of shoe buttons and shreds of her gown. But little Miss Steady By school time is ready, All smiling and shining, and neat in her place: With no need to worry, She pities Miss Hurry, Who but yesterday sat here with shame in her face. e Her heart beating lightly, With duty done rightly, She vows she will never again change her name: For though you’d not guess it, I’m bound to confess it~ These two little maidens are one and the same! — Wesleyan Christian Advocate. Women’s Christian Asssocia- tion. On January the seventh the first county organization of the Young Women’s Christian Association in Pennsylvania was organized in Centre county. For years this work has been conducted in the student and city associations, but it has only been recently that it has devel- oped in the rural districts. By means of the county plan of organization it is possible now, for every community to have a branch association or club. Fifty years ago the very first Y. W.C. A. in the United States was organized in Boston, Massachusetts. Since then the work has increased in its scope and ex- tent until now from the humble begin- ning of one organization it has grown to number 979 Associations with a member- ship of more than 370,000 women. Working with many different types of girls the Association has aimed in its purpose “to advance the physical, social, intellectual, moral and spiritual interests of young women. To bring them to such a knowledge of Jesus Christ as shall mean for the individual fullness of life and development of character, and shall make the organization as a whole an effec- tive agency in the bringing in of the kingdom of God.” Democratic in its principle the Association has attempted to reach not one class of girls but every class. As a result of the demands of women’s economic, social and religious freedom it has attempted by a flexible organization to deal with all phases of the woman’s life and to adapt it to the needs of every community. To give in full the general scope of the Y. W. C. A. would require too much The Young space and consequently only a very brief account of the work shall be given. At first the purpose of the organization was to provide a boarding home for the self supporting girls in the city. But soon, in order to meet the demands of | i RN 3 ! ally they have to “pay the piper.” the girls, employment bureaus were formed. Bible and educational classes started and physical exercises given. As a protection to the girls coming in to the cities in search of employment the Travellers Aid Society had its formation. Each year the work has been growing un- til now it is reaching out to the needs of girls in the city-the self supporting girl -the immigrant giri, the society girl and the home girl. The Association has meant “home, friends, fun, education and in fact everything” to many girls. To others it has meant a vision of ser- vice-a revelation of how to make life count for the most and to still others it has been “life itself.” The second phase of the work to be undertaken was that with the students. Because the college has already provided tite home, the educational and physical work for the young woman-the Y. W. C. A. It has acted as a guide to the girl in adjusting herself to her new surround- ingsand helped to develop her into well rounded citizenship. Last in the development in the eastern states has been the work in the rural dis- tricts. Entirely different in its plan of organization from the city and student work the County Association has been especially adapted to meet the needs of the country girl. No building is nec- essary in this work for thie need of the country is not for buildings but for lead- ership. The Association may simply mean creating in the young woman a greater appreciation and use of the resources of the buildings already in the community -school houses, grange halls, libraries, churches and homes. the county work is the trained Secretary who devotes her entire time to the or- ganizing of clubs in the communities, to the developing of the resources of the | county as they relate to young woman- hood, and to being a friend to girls. Do the country girls need to belong to the Y. W. C. A. was the question asked of a member of a County Association-But why say need to was the answer when the membership has come to be one of the essentials of the country girl’s life. Only the girls who have really belonged to such an organization know the pleas- ures and benefits derived from it. —=For high class Job Work come to the WATCHMAN Office.

They are all patients at the great State Tuberculosis sanatorium. There are more than two thousand men, women and children who are continually under treatment at the three sanatoria conducted by the State Department of Health. With the aid of rest, fresh air, good food, and the best of medical attention, they are waging a winning fight against mankind’s greatest enemy—tuberculosis. In addition to the patients who are receiving treatment at the sanatoria, there are more than ten thousand sufferers from this disease continually under treatment at the one hundred and fifteen dispensaries locat=d throughout the state, which are maintained by the department.

D., Commissioner of Health. There are times when everyone real- izes that they are on the verge of an ill- ness. The symptoms vary according to the individual case but whether it be a cold, grip, or exhaustion, nature usually has a way of sounding a warning which is not to be mistaken. When danger signals are thus display- ed for our benefit in this fashion there is one course of action which will often prove effective, even at the eleventh hour. A day in bed in a well ventilated room with an extremely light diet is fre- quently sufficient to save one from a severe illness. Rest is often one of nature’s simplest and most effective aids to healing and if taken in time may be warranted far superior in it’s therapeutic effect to any quantity of drugs taken after the damage is done. An extremely light diet or a fast for twenty-four hours serves the same pur- | pose in giving the digestive organs a i needed rest under such conditions. A ! day or so in bed adhering to the resolve | notto allow the ordinary annoyances and responsibilities of life to interfere with one’s complete relaxation would often be of more value than traveling long distances for a change of climate. There are some people who boast of their ability to keep going regardless of the warnings which Nature serves in times of danger. At times they may be successful in avoiding the penalty but su. et- ter a short voluntary rest now and then than one enforced by a profound disturb- ance of health as the result of disregard- ing Nature’s warning. Her Very Clear Thoughts. “Well, aunty, what are your thochts aboot marryin’?”’ asked a young wom- an in Scotland the other day of her aunt, a decent body who had reached the shady side of life without having committed matrimony. “'Deed, lassie,” frankly replied the ‘old lady, “I’ve had but three thochts to be the langest.

Dixon began his campaign against this disease, eight years ago, this force has been actively engaged in visiting the homes of the tubercular poor, nurs- ing the sick, instructing families in preventing the further spread of the in- fection, teaching hygiene, and bringing a new atmosphere of health and hope fnto thousands of families where one or more members had been stricken.
