The Tuberculosis committee of the Woman’s club met last Friday night, for the first time this club year to dis- cuss plans for the county conference of tuberculosis workers scheduled to be held here, September twenty- eighth. With the exception of Miss Helen Overton, chairman, who is spending her vacation in Atlantic City, all the members of the committee were present: Miss Katherine Hoover, Miss Daise Keichline, Miss Mary Linn, Elizabeth Meek, Mrs. John Shugert, Mrs. Robert Walker and Miss Helene Williams. While the coming conference, at which Mr. Craze, field secretary of the Pennsylvania Tuberculosis society will be present, is primarily intended to unify and perfect plans for the annual Christmas Seal sale, there are two questions of importance to Centre county people to be threshed out—the re-opening of the state dispensary for tuberculosis patients and the care of advanced cases of tuberculosis. Two years ago last May the state dispensary was closed presumably be- cause there were not enough cases of tuberculosis in the county to warrant its continuance. Since that time, pa- tients on this side of the mountain must go to Lock Haven to be cared for at a state dispensary, an incon- venient arrangement, as it requires a day’s time and costs three dollars; as a consequence, patients will not avail themselves of even this inconvenient means of securing care. There is a state dispensary in Philipsburg but this is even more inconvenient to reach than the one at Lock Haven and the nurse there, Miss Carrie Hess, rarely does work in-this county out- side of Rush township. This situation leaves tuberculosis patients in the rest of the county practically uncared for except such as may come within the districts administered to by the Red Cross nurses, Mrs. Jones and Miss Royer. It is believed that, though our dispensary was closed because there were few patients, a survey of the county would reveal many more cases of tuberculosis than are gener- ally known. Di. Francine, head of the tuberculosis work of the State Health Department, will re-opén the dispensary in Bellefonte at any time a room is provided as, under the pres- ent arrangement, the State Health De- partment furnishes the physician, nurse and supplies while the communi- ty must provide the room, heat and janitor. An ideal arrangement is to have a health centre, to be used for all health activities—community, nurs- ing service, well-baby clinic, and tu- berculosis dispensary—each to have its separate day, of course, and the advisability of using the money de- rived from the sale of Christmas Seals to pay the rent of a room and thus as- sure proper care of tuberculosis pa- tients, is now under consideration by the tuberculosis committee of the Woman's club. The second problem agitating tu- berculosis workers and that should be of interest to every citizen of the county is “How shall advanced cases of tuberculosis be cared for?” There are three sanatoria supported by the State for the care of tuberculosis pa- tients—one at Mont Alto, one at Cres- son and one at Hamburg—and it is now the plan of the State Health De- partment to make these, in truth, what the name sanatorium indicates, “a health station,” and to leave to the community, itself, the care of advanc- ed cases of tuberculosis. The last Leg- islature passed a bill obliging each county to provide for the care of such patients, whether in a sanatorium, hos- pital, or other place, but provide we must, and it is now up te the county to decide by what means this shall be accomplished. Several of the larger counties in the State have already taken steps to build 2 county sanator- ium, but it is advised that smaller | counties, of about 40,000, combine and SPIGELMYER.—Mrs. Laura Eilert Spigelmyer, wife of G. R. Spigelmyer, passed away at her home on Howard street about nine o'clock on Tuesday morning. A year or so ago she suffer- ed a nervous collapse and had been an invalid ever since. Eight weeks ago she was stricken with paralysis and had been confined to her bed ever since. She was a daughter of John H. and Susanna Eilert and was born at Har- tleton, Union county, on March 26th, 1852, hence was in her seventieth year. In 1868 she was united in marriage at Hartleton to M1. Spigelmyer and the first year of their married life was spent at that place. Fifty-two years ago they came to Centre county and took up their residence at Spring ‘Mills where they lived until coming to Bellefonte thirty-two years ago. Mrs. Spigelmyer was a devout member of the Presbyterian church and a most lovable woman. During her residence in Bellefonte she made many warm friends who sincerely, mourn her death. She is survived by her husband and two daughters, Mrs. G. Willard Hall, of Harrisburg, and Mrs. Charles Kase, of Sunbury. Funeral services were: held at her late home at 7:30 o'clock last evening by Rev. Dr. Schmidt and this morning the remains were taken to Hartleton for interment. i2 1 STEWART.—Arthur W. Stewart passed away at the home of his grand- mother, Mrs. Miller Stewart, on west Linn street, as the result of a gener- al breakdown in health. He graduat- ed at Cornell last June after taking two years’ work in one and instead of taking a vacation promptly accepted a position in Cleveland, Ohio. His close application to his work resulted in a general breakdown and about a month ago he was brought to the home of his grandmother but he continued to grow worse and passed away at the time above stated. He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Wil- liam Stewart and was born in Seattle, Wash., on December 3rd, 1898, mak- ing his age 22 years, 9 months and 22 days. During most of his illness his father was up in Alaska where he is engaged in the salmon fishery busi- ness and it was with some difficulty that word was gotten to him, but he and the young man’s sister, Miss Mar- garet E., who are the only survivors, reached Bellefonte last Thursday. Funeral services will be held at the Stewart home at 10:30 o’clock tomor- row morning, interment private in the Union cemetery. hl Il I CADWALLADER.—Mrs. Lenthar- sia Cadwallader, wife of Oscar Cad- wallader, died at her home in Philips- burg on Sunday following ten week’s illness. She was a daughter of George W. and Sarah H. Wilson and was born at Beaver Mills, in Rush township, on March 11th, 1859, making her age 62 ‘years, 5 months and 24 days. She was | married to Mr. Cadwallader at Union- ville in 1876, and seven years later | they took up their residence in Philips- burg where they have lived ever since. Surviving her are her husband, a daughter and two sons, namely: Mrs. William Askey, of Creek Side, Pa.; George, of Palmyra, N. Y., and Frank, at home. She also leaves the follow- ing brothers and sisters: Mrs. GT. Jones, of Port Matilda; E. S. Wilson, of Clearfield; Mrs. J. P. Smith, of Bellefonte; William Wilson, of Phil- ipsburg, and Mrs. W. K. Kaup, of La- mar. Burial was made in the Phil- ipsburg cemetery on Wednesday after- noon. i '} CLARK.—Following an all sum- mer’s illness with sarcoma John Clark died at his home on Willowbank street on Saturday morning. He was born in County Caban, Ireland, on August 3rd, 1848, hence was 73 years and 1 month old. He came to this country when twelve years of age and had liv- ed in Bellefonte and vicinity ever since. Surviving are his wife and six children, Mrs. John Gordon, of Belle- fonte; Mrs. Frank Fry, of Zion; Wil- {liam Clark, of Akron, Ohio; Walter, in California; Mrs. Bella Brown, of Swissdale, and Mrs. Elizabeth Wy- land, of Akron. He also leaves one brother, Thomas Clark, of Altoona. Funeral services were held in the United Evangelical church at two o'clock on Tuesday afternoon by Rev. Reed O. Steely, pastor, after which ! burial was made in the Pleasant Gap cemetery. C. E. Rally at Valley View. The Bellefonte Christian Endeavor district of the United Brethren church held another worth-while rally last Thursday evening at Valley View. | After a song service and devotional TAXES MUST BE COLLECTED. Borough Solicitors Instructed to. Pro- ceed at Once Against Collector and Bondsmen. Delinquent taxpayers will have to pay up if they want to avoid trouble and costs, according to the action of council on Monday evening. A writ- ten communication was received from tax collector J. Kennedy Johnston giv- ing various reasons why he had not been successful in collecting the delin- quent taxes in accordance with a res- olution passed by council on June 16th requesting him to do so, his chief rea- son being, that it would not be right to distress any one. He further stated that he expected to get busy and as soon as he received his 1921 duplicate proceed to clean up all the duplicates and hoped to be able to do this before the 1922 duplicate was turned over to his successor. Mr. Fauble, of the Finance commit- tee, stated that Mi. Johnston had made a request for a flat five per cent. commission for collecting the 1921 duplicate. He now receives three per cent. for all taxes paid during. the re- bate period and five per cent. on the balance. But the committee at the present time would not recommend any change. Regarding his request for an extension of time in making collection of delinquent taxes Mr. Fau- ble stated that in the almost. three months since council passed the reso- lution demanding that he collect the back taxes he had collected and turned over only about $2,500 out of a total of almost $16,000; and if council al- lowed an extension of time it would simply result in an increase in delin- quent taxes from the 1921 duplicate. Such a condition is not fair to those tax payers who pay promptly, and in addition the borough needs the money. He therefore made a motion that the borough solicitors be instructed to proceed at once against the tax col- lector and his bondsmenito enforce the payment of all delinquent taxes. The motion carried without a dissenting vote. . Mr. ‘Cunningham stated to council that he had been misinformed as to a local justice of the peace putting the costs on the policeman who had re- turned an automobilist for violating the traffic ordinance. The justice dis- charged the defender but did not put the costs on the officer. Secretary Kelly stated that all bills for the construction of Bishop, Spring and Pine streets, totalling $8,148.16, had been made out against abutting property holders and turned over to the borough treasurer for collection, and the only one so far paid was by the Ammerman estate, $38.28. The Water committee reported the collection of $56.75 on the 1919 dupli-- cate and $2.00 from John N. Bauer for the 1920 tax on the Brant house sta- ible. The committee also recommend- {ed an exoneration of $3.25 in water { taxes against the James Haris estate | on account of error in duplicate: { The Finance committee presented | the treasurer’s request for the renew- ral of notes for $1000, $1000, $3400 and | $2000, and a new note for $5000 to | meet current expenses, all of which | were authorized. The committee also | reported the borough duplicate for 1 1921 completed and ready to turn over | to the collector. It shows a total of | $18,948.36 of borough tax, $18,948.36 | for street purposes and $9,479.08 for | interest purposes, a total of $47,375.- 80. A motion was passed suspending | policeman Yerger for a period of at ! least one month for “neglect of duty,” | and the Fire and Police committee | were instructed to arrange for anoth- | er policeman during his term of sus- | pension. Mr. Cunningham reported that a re- 1 quest had been made for an extension | of the water main on east Howard | street to Wilson street, to the lot re- | cently purchased by Mr. Rothrock, { who intends erecting a house thereon. i The cost of the pipe will be in the | neighborhood of five hundred dollars. ' The matter was referred to the Water | committee for further investigation ! and report. ; Mr. Fauble reported that Mr. { Hughes was now laying a sewer pipe { from his swimming pool to connect | with the borough sewer, and request- ! ed permission to cross east Bishop | street in order to tap the sewer on the | north side of the street. The Street | committee was of the opinion that the | sewer ought to be brought down on | the south side of the street, but the | distance is probably a thousand feet | greater. The matter was referred to | the Street committee to work out a i solution satisfactory to both sides.

Considering the nation- wide celebrity of “Bloody Breathitt” as a gun-toting community, the jail- er’s job might seem too much for a woman. But it appears that the coun- ty judges do not often insult promi- nent citizens by putting them in jail. Apt —Buy your own paper and read it. Political Announcements. TAX COLLECTOR.
