JUST HOW TO VOTE.
If You are in Doubt, Clip These Di-
rections—They Guide you Setp by
Step and Show How Simple
the Process Really is.
By T. F. Healy
The actual business of VOTING is
relatively a simple matter.
The voter goes to her division poll-
ing place on November 2, between the
hours of 7 a. m. and 7 p. m.
Upon entering the polling place the
judge of election will inquire the name
and address of the prospective voter
and then will instruct the election
clerks to verify by the assessors’ and
registrars’ books.
If duly assessed and registered, the
elector is handed a ballot, which she
takes into the booth, which has been
set aside for perfect privacy in the
marking of the ballot.
There a table or desk or shelf upon
which the ballot may be marked will
be found. Crayon pencils also are
provided.
The elector marks the ballot in the
booth and then folds it, carrying it
to the outer room, where she personal-
ly deposits it in the ballot box.
The matter of marking the ballot
is of peculiar importance to the wom-
en who have never investigated it.
Each new elector should thorough-
ly familiarize herself with sample bal-
lots before going to the polling place
in order to avoid a danger of nullify-
ing her vote.
On the upper left corner of each
ballot squares are printed, opposite
the name of the respective parties.
A cross mark placed in one of these
party squares signifies a vote for
each candidate of that party whose
name is printed on the balot.
For example: A cross in the Re-
publican party square is counted as a
vote for every Republican party can-
didate whose name is printed on ‘the
ballot. A cross in the Democratic
party square is counted as a vote for
every Democratic party candidate
thereon.
If a voter desires to vote for all the
candidates of one party she should
make a single cross in the party
square and stop there. Any other
cross mark placed upon the ballot
nullifies it and it will be thrown out
by the judge of election.
» If a voter does not desire to vote
in the party square, she should care-
fully read the names of the candi-
dates on the ballot and put a cross
beside the name of each candidate
for whom it is desired to vote.
In the case of presidential electors,
if the voter does not mark in the party
square, it will be necessary for her to
put a cross mark beside the names of
each one of the thirty-six presidential
electors of the party of her choice.
_ A voter may split her ballot—that
is she may vote for a Republican
candidate for President and a Demo-
¢ atic candidate for the United States
Senate, or vice versa.
But a voter cannot vote for a Re-
publican candidate for President and
a Democratic candidate for President
or a Democratic candidate for United
States Senator, and a Republican
candidate for United States Senator.
If a ballot is marked in the Republi-
can and Democratic columns for can-
didates for the same office, no matter
what office it may be, that ballot is
void and will be thrown out when the
count is made. Having marked and
deposited the ballot, the business of
the voter at the polling place ends.
The law provides that “assistance”
may be given voters who are incaj-
able themselves of marking the bal-
lot. In order to obtain assistance i:
voting the voter must make affidavit
that she is unable to mark the ballot
because of disability. At a general
clection it is not necessary to specify
che specific form of disability.
Voters should not request “assist-
ance” unless they are absolutely and
totally unable to mark a ballot unas-
sisted.
Voters should also remember that
it is not necessary for them !o speci-
ty their party affiliations to any one in
or about the election booth at a gen-
eral election. This is necessary only
at a primary election, when candi-
dates of the various parties are nomi-
nated.
Law Without Lawyers.
The State of Washington recently
enacted a law that provides for a
court trial without lawyers. This is
certainly a step toward lowering the
cost of living unléss one has the mis-
fortune to be a lawyer. The new
court is to be opened at Spokane and
both parties to any action must ap-
pear in person and may summon wit-
nesses. No assigned claims may be
tried in the “small claims” court and
no attorney nor any person other
than the parties directly concerned
with the suit may “concern himself
or in any other manner interfere with
the prosecution or defense of the liti-
gation without the consent of the
Justice.”
The court is to be presided over by
S. C. Hyde, a justice of the peace. He !
may enter a judgment for payment of
claims in any manner he sees fit and,
in case of refusal to satisfy such a
judgment on the part of the losing
party, he may make an affidavit to
that effect, whereupon the claims may
be collected through justice of super-
ior court procedure, with consequent
increases in cost to the losing party.
Total court fees, under privisions
of the act, will be $1.50. One dol-
lar will be charged for an appearance
by plaintiff having a claim not to ex-
ceed $20, and 50 cents, additional, to
the constable or deputy sheriff serv-
ing a summons on the defendent.
The Discerning Reader.
“Yes, dearest,” he gushed softly,
“in your face I find strength and
character, nobility and devotion, all
that is finest in a woman’s soul.”
(“You only say that,” she teased;
“how do you know?”
And like a flash of genius he spark-
led, “I read between the lines, my
dear, between the lines.”—Judge.

Questions,
1. What are Koplik spots?
2. What do they signify?
3. How may the spread of
measles be prevented?
MEASLES
Six more cases of measles are
reported today. The School Board
is considering the advisibility of
closing the schools.
Mrs. English laid down the newspa-
per and rubbed her glasses.
“The idea,” she said, “close the
schools for measles. Measles is na-
tural for children, nnd the sooner they
have ’em and be over with ’em, the
better. I tell mothers to take their
youngsters where measles is, so they |
can ketch ‘em.”
Was Mrs, English right?
She did not know that during the
past five years 3870 Pennsylvania
children died from measles; an annual
average of 774.
During the same
fever claimed less than half this
number. !
Mrs. English knew measles when |
she saw or smelled it; fever, headache,
red watery eyes, sneezing, dry cough,
later followed by the measles rash of
irregularly shaped bright red spots,
which disappear by the seventh or
eighth day; that was all.
She also knew measles was “ketch-
in »
One day when she “just dropped in”
at the Carson’s, she saw Dr. Johnson |
examining the inside of little Freddie's |
cheek. Dr. Johnson was her
in Blacksburg. This was in the old-
time days, before January 17, when
all good mince pies had a ting, so he
said: “Come here, Mrs. English, I
want to show you somefhing. This
can be seen only in strong daylight.”
Then the Doctor proceeded to press
his finger into Freddie's cheek until
he had turned the inner side of it into
plain view. “Look closely at the
bright rod spots on the lining of the
cheek and you will see in the center |
of each a tiny Dbluish-white, glisten-
ing dot. These
spots. Whenever you find them you
may be sure that measles will develop
in from one to three days.”
They were hard to see, but Mrs.
anglish had good spectacles and she
made them out quite plainly.
When Mrs. English came home that
day she found her little grandson,
Edgar, dull, feverish, with running
nose and red eyes.
Edgar, in Grandma's lap, before the
strong light at the front window, was
making vigorous protest as his cheek
was turned wrong side out.
tle shiny Koplik spots were there,
Edgar was not getting well at the
end of a week. Bronchopneumonia, a
eommon complication, set in,
He was not well at the end of one,
of two, of three months. He stayed
thin and weak.
The Doctor came one day and, 28
the little patient sat propped up in the
big chair on the front porch, he tapped
his chest and listened with the stethe-
scope. He told dgar funny stories
and laughed, but there was no laugh-
ter in the Doctor's heart.
Tuberculosis, a common sequel of
measles, was present and rapidly pro-
gressing.
Mrs. English no longer advises moth:
ers “to take their children where
‘measles is.”
There were 34,009 cases of measles
reported in Pennsylvania in 1917;
there were many unreported cases.
Out of every 65 cases reported one
died; mostly those under two years.
Measles is most transmissible in the
beginning period before the rash
comes out, when the eyes are red, the
nose running and the child is fever-
ish and coughs. It is carried by
coughing in a close room, by the
hands, possibly by handkerchiefs, pen-
cils, towels, drinking cups, ete. It's
spread can be lessened by early recog-
nition and prompt quarantine.
The law requires that measles be
reported. When no doctor is called
those responsible for the care of chil-
dren are required to report all cases
of sore throat, rash or persistent
cough; the law further requires that
school children suffering from fever
or sore throat be sent home. When
measles is reported it is quarantined
for a minimum period of sixteen days.
No child is allowed to come to schoo!
from a measles home till the quar-
antine is lifted.
Quarantine means that no one but
the Doctor or the Nurse shall enter
a room occupied by a measles patient,
or touch anything which such a pa-
tient has touched till it has been
sterilized.
When a measles child is sent home
the school is dismissed only for such
period as is needful to accomplish a
thorough cleaning and airing of the
room. The children’s parents are cau-
tioned not to send them to school if
they are droopy; and every child is
each morning, carefully inspected for
red eyes, running noses, sore throat,
cough, or better still, lack of pep,
which usually precedes the more pro-
nounced symptoms which denote that
the contagious stage has been reached.
Consumption is a common sequel of
measles, it occurs only in children who
have already had the seeds of it im-
planted in their systems, or who have
been exposed to infection while still
weakened.

Profitable to Have Hogs Harvest Corn
in Field.
Hogging off corn is no longer in
the experimental stage in the hog
raising sections of Pennsylvania. In
twenty-four demonstrations last year
which composed one of the projects in
eighteen counties, the price received
for a bushel of corn in the field was
$1.88. This was the price returned
by 100 to 125 shoats when turned into
the corn field and allowed to harvest
the crop at their leisure, with all
items of expense charged against the
value of gain in pork. 2
The shortage of labor coupled with
he rapid and profitable gain made by
porkers in the corn field will stimulate
a very general practice of hogging off.
corn this fall, say specialists at the
to Clayton S. Musser, tract in Potter.
Pennsylvania State College. It is ad-
visable to feed a quarter pound of di-
gester tankage per shoat daily in ad-
dition to the entire corn. Dwarf
Essex rape can be advantageously
sown at the last cultivation of corn.
This will furnish green succulent feed
throughout the period the shoats are
in the field.

As to Brevity.
Of course brevity can be carried too
far, may be awkward and inarticulate
and incomplete. We may be brief and
tedious at the same time. Some one
brought Voltaire, the master of brevity.
an epigram in two lines. “Ah!” said
Voltaire. “Very good, but it drags in
spots.” The old comic dramatist said
of a dull oaf: “The laconic ass makes
brevity ridiculous.” We do not want
to make brevity ridiculous or let it
make us so.
Nevertheless, we should all do weli
to cultivate and practice brevity, and
we may be sure that we should be
much more listened to if we spoke less.
