: Two Deaths from Infantile Paralysis.
‘the public generally who had counted
Twe children of Mr. and Mrs. Cy-
rus Powley, of Fairbrook, died last
week as the result of infantile paral-
vsis. They were Clarence Powley,
aged three years, who died at 8.45
o'clock on Friday morning and was
buried the same afternoon, and Sa-
rah Powley, aged 19 months, who
died at eleven o'clock Friday night
and was buried Saturday morning.
None of the other children in the
the family have so far contracted the
disease.
The disease first manifested itself
in that locality in the home of Joseph
Harpster, when his six year old
daughter Myrtle became ill about two
weeks ago. She was attacked in the
lower part of the body and as a result
has lest the use of both legs, unless
something can be done in the future
to restore their power and action. “So
far as known no other new cases have
appeared in the county.
The spread of the disease, however,
has eaused a State-wide scare and on
last Friday State Health Commission-
er Samuel G. Dixon issued a procla-
mation keeping all schools closed until
September 18th, at least. This also
includes the Sunday schools, and in
consequence there was no Sunday
school in Bellefonte last Sunday nor
will there be until permission is given
by Dr. Dixon. Moving picture man-
agers were also notified to exclude
children under the age of sixteen
years.
John Curtin, secretary of-the local
Board of Health, has also started a
general clean-up campaign as one of
the most effective ways of keeping
the disease out of Bellefonte. Every
property in the borough will be in-
spected by a competent person and
the resideni and property owner noti-
fied if a cleaning up is necessary;
and such cleaning must be done with-
in forty-eight hours. Every effort
will be put forth to keep the disease |
out of Bellefonte and if everybody |
observes the rules as laid down by the |

So Far Both Sides Stand Firm. P.
R. R. Gives Notice of Embargo.
Up until vesterday evering the sit-
uation on the thteatened railroad |
strike was unchanged. The strike or-
der has been sent out for next Mon-
day and all efforts of the President
and members of Congress to bring
about a compromise or postponement
have so far proven futile. What the
outcome will be no man can predict,
but in order to be on the safe side the
Pennsylvania railroad company yes-
go notice:
In veiw of the impending nation-
wide strike of the enginemen, conduc-
tors, firemen and trainmen in the
freight and vard services, the Penn-
sylvania Railroad company, the Phil-
adelphia, Baltimore & Washington
Railroad company, and the West Jer-
sey & Seashore Railroad company
have been compelled to issue the fol-
lowing embargo notices on freight,
to apply to shipments from all points
for all destinations:
Item . Effective at close of busi-
ness, Thursday, August 31, 1916, em-
bargo all shipments of explosives and
inflammables of every kind and de-
scription. :
Item 1. Effective at close of busi-
ness Friday, September 1, 1916, em-
bargo all shipments of perishable
freight, including livestock, dressed
beef, live and dressed poultry and
fresh fruits and vegetables.
Item 3. Effective at close of busi-
ness Saturday, September 2, 1916,
embargo all freight of all kinds from
all points for all destinations.
As soon as practicable on or after
September 4th, which is tke date set
for the strike to become effective,
these embargoes will be modified to
permit resumpticn of the movement
of food-stuffs and perishable freigats.
Other modifications will be made
promptly as circumstances will per--
mit. It will not be possible, however,
to give definite information on these
points until the railroad companies
can ascertain accurately, on next
Monday, what force of employees will
be available for the movement of
i traffic.

associated lines are at present filled

Odd Fellows Picnic Called Off.
Owing to the precautions now be-
ing taken threoughout the State

vsis, the Odd Fellows of Bellefonte

i Rumanians are but a Few Miles from |
}
Kronstadt.
Rumania’s invasion of Austro-Hun-
grian territory continues in the
mountainous region from Petrozeny, |
on the rzilway northeast of Orsovo,
to the Gyergyo mountains, 80 mlies
north of Kronstadt.
On the Danube from the Iron gate
to Giugevo, opposite Rustchuk, Bul-
garia, there have been reciprocal
bombardments at several points by
Austra-Hungarian warcraft and Ru-
manian shore batteries.
Austria’s acknowledgement of the |
retirement of her forces in the moun- |
tain region to previously prepared po- |
sitions in the rear has been followed !
terday sent out the following embar- | by claims by Rumania that the troops |
of King Ferdinand have arrived at a |
point within thre= miles of Kronstadt, !
the chief commercial city of Transyl-
vania. Vienna admits that the Ru-
manians are engaged with the Aus-
tro-Hungarians who have invaded
Transylvania some 25 miles northeast
of Kronstadt.
While Bulgaria has not entered in- |
to the hostilities against Rumania, a |
news agency dispatch says Rumania |
has decided to send an ultimatum to |
Bulgaria, demanding the evacuation |
of Serbia.
A dispatch from Constantinople re- |
ports that Turkey has declared war
on Rumania.
In the Macedonia theatre violent
fighting continues between the enten-
te allies and the Austra-Germans and
Bulgarians. Paris claims that to the |
west of the Vardar river the French |
have gained additional ground, and
that in the Lake Ostrovo region the
Serbs have repulsed attacks by the
Bulgarians. On the Struma front, !
near Lake Dolran, batteries of the!
entente powers have violently shelled
Bulgarian positicns. i
Drama, in northeastern Greece, has |
been seized by the Bulgarians after |
a fight with Greek trocps, according
to unofficial advices received in Paris. |
There have been no important
changes in the western front or on |
the front in Russia and Galicia. |

TZultry and Quail Eat Strychnine and
According to Observers They Ap- !
pear to Like It. |
Experts in universities and colleges |
of the state have been asked to inform |
the state department of agriculture :
why strychnine will kill crows and not
affect chickens when eaten.
The state live stock sanitary board
stirred up the question by sending out
a notice urging that crows be extermi-
nated and giving instructions as to use
of the poison. Some people wanted
to, know if chickens would not be
harmed by it, but the board officials
replied that they would not, and gave
the result of an experiment by one man
who had written to the department
that he had fed strychnine in corn to
brown Leghorn chickens and that they
had not minded it a bit.
When he threw it out for the crows
to eat he had to send out burial par-
ties. On the other hand quail did not
seem to mind it a particle.
A number of men versed in chemi
cals were asked the question why the
drug would kill crows and not chick-
ens, but they have passed it along to
the folks in colleges.—Harrisburg (Pa.)

“The Philadelphia Record” has hundreds of
regular readers whe live far beyond the
bounds of the wide territory which it particu-
larly aims to serve. Not long ago the man-
agement of “The Record” addressed an inqui-
ry to some of these distant readers asking
them why they prefer “The Record” to other
prominent newspapers published nearer to
their homes. Here is a typical reply:
“Because I regard your admirable journal
as a fit newspaper for all the members of the
home and ®domestic circle. It is comprehen-
sive in it’s scope, educational, non-sensation-
al, judicious, fair, and, what is most com-
mendable, clear and intelligible to the aver-
age as Well as the most cultured mind. More-
over, in it's arrangement of news topics, for-
eign, domestic, State and local, religious and
secular, every item or topic may be so easily
located. I have often observed in handing my
copy to a friend how quickly the attention of
the reader becomes fixed, showing that ‘The
Record” is not merely provincial or local in
it’s scope, but satisfying to the wants of the
general reader.””
The qualities which give “The Philadelphia
Record” precedence over other big city dai-
lies in their own fields make it doubly at-
tractive to readers in the territory to which
its news columns devote especial attention.
The intelligent public demands character and
backbone as well as enterprise and alertness
of journalism, and it finds these indispensa-
ble: in the daily and Sunday issues of Phila-
delphia’s leading newspaper.
The average Sunday newspaper consists of
about 10 per cent. of meat, and 90 per cent.
of fat, bone and gristle. “The Sunday Rec-
ord” is all meat—a fact which obviously ac-
counts for its enormous strides in circula-
tion.
