VACCINATION DATES FOR CEN-
TRE COUNTY.
Dr. J. L. Seibert, county medical di-
rector, has been notified by the State
Secretary of Health, Dr. Charles H.
Miner, that the following county phy-
sicians have been apointed as official
deputies to re-vaccinate, free of
charge, school children who have un-
dergone two or more unsuccessful at-
tempts at vaccination against small-
0X:
P Dr. George H. Woods, Pine Grove
Mills.
Dr. G. S. Frank, Millheim,
Dr. H. S. Braucht, Soring Mills.
Dr. E. H. Harris, Snow Shoe.
Dr. L. E. Kidder, State College.
Dr. W. J. Kurtz, Howard.
Dr. David Dale, Bellefonte.
Dr. Robert Jackson, Osceola Mills.
School children living in the rural
districts who have been twice unsuc-
cessfully vaccinated, or those who had
been admitted to school last term on
an official temporary certificate must
be re-vaccinated by the county medical
director, or one of these official depu-
ties, who will grant a temporary cer-
tificate which will admit them to
school for the current school year. In
cities, boroughs, or townships of the
first class having organized boards of
health, this official re-vaccination
must be performed by the board of
health physician. :
Teachers or school principals are
not allowed to admit children to school
unless they present, or have already
filed a certificate of successful vac-
cination, or in the case of unsuccess-
ful results the official temporary cer-
tificate, which must have been issued
after July 1st, of the present year, on
which date temporary certificates is-
sued during the previous school term
became void.
The county medical director has
pointed out the fact that school teach-
ers must be careful in demanding
proper vaccination certificates. A cer-
tificate stating that a child has been
vaccinated is not sufficient. The vac-
cination physician must certify that
an examination of the child made not
less than eight days after vaccina-
tion disclosed a vaccination scar, or
cicatrix indicating a successful vac-
cination. If this vaccination _cicatrix
is not in evidence, the physician can-
not legally certify, and the child must
be re-vaccinated.
LANDSCAPE GARDENER
ON COLLEGE STAFF.
Centre county rural folks are to
have the benefit of the services of a
“home beautification” specialist who
has been added to the agricultural ex-
tension staff of The Pennsylvania
State College, according to an an-
nouncement by county agent R. C.
Blaney.
The College extension specialist serv-
ice has received so many requests
from farm communities, Granges,
Women’s clubs, Parent Teacher asso-
ciations and individual farmers for
advice on making the home, school
and picnic grounds more attractive,
that it has been found advisable to
engage a landscape gardener to meet
the demand.
John R. Bracken, who was graduat-
ed from the landscape gardening
course at State College in 1914, and
who has been actively engaged in work
for the past ten years in Philadelphia
and vicinity, has been appointed to
the position and has started his activ-
ities. He will come to Centre county
to aid with home and grounds beauti-
fication projects when legitimate re-
quests for his services are taken to
the office of the county agent R. C.
Blaney, at Bellefonte. As is the case
with all State College agricultural ex-
tension service, the advice and consul-
tation from Mr. Bracken will be free.
The landscape gardening service of
the college is not commercial service
in any sense. Mr. Bracken will be
traveling over the State helping farm
people and rural communities with
their grounds decorating problems. He
will soon start a number of demon-
strations that will show farmers that
they can: improve the appearance of
their homes at a low expense and’
within the means of the average far-
mer. The aim of the service will be
to assist in the improvement for the
appearance of farm homes throughout
Pennsylvania, a step that will not only
give visitors a better impression, but
will add much to the value of the
farm properties which are improved.

Disease
-
The beginning of a movement to
lessen the spread of diseases among
public school children of Pennsylvania
may be said to be centered in a group
of about 75 young women school
teachers receiving special hygiene and
first aid instruction at the summer
Session of The Pennsylvania State
College.
Barly symptoms of communicable
diseases are stressed in lectures given
to the teachers by Dr. J. P. Ritenour,
the college physician. The teachers
are learning to know the type of ill-
ness that should be barred from the
class room until the school nurse or
physician can be reached. These dis-
eases include scarlet fever, diphtheria,
measles, chicken pox and the like.
The signs and symptoms of diseases
of childhood are also of prime import-
ance in the instruction, particularly of
malnutrition, rickets, tuberculosis
topsilar and adenoid diseases.
A great deal of the usual spread of
diseases among school children could.
be avoided if teachers in charge are
able to identify the earlier stages in
time to get those afflicted out of con-
tact with other pupils, according to
Dr. Ritenour.
The young women teachers enrolled
in Dr. Ritenour’s first aid class are
rapidly developing expertness in pre-
paring all sorts of bandages and other
measures necessary for relief to pos-
sible school boy or girl injuries. Pre-
vention of accidents and first aid with
poison and drowning cases are also
emphasized.

It is said that whoever throws a
penny into the Fountain of Trevi will
return again to Rome; that whoever
drinks of the waters of the Chagres
will again visit Panama. To this
should be added that whoever eats
prunes for breakfast will again visit
New York. John Martin had eaten of
the famous breakfast prune of Manp-
hattan, and therefore, after an ab-
sence of fifteen years, Little Old New
York saw him again. He had left
the city vowing that never again
would he look upon the piers of Brook-
lyn bridge or the Statue of Liberty
enlightening the world. For New
York had taken his money, his youth
and his reputation, and in the city
of the skyscrapers the one girl in all
the world had refused to marry him.
He had been thirty when he left
New York; he was forty-five now.
Time and experience had given him
more sense than he had ever pos-
sessed in those days when, as a young
man, he “knew it all”; and hard work
—and luck—as a mining engineer in
South Africa had given him a fortune
equal, at least, to the one he had so
recklessly squandered. When he
“cleaned up” and left Cape Town to
return to “God's own country,” he re-
membered his vow never again to
tread the streets of New York, and
thought of London as a pleasant place
for a wealthy bachelor to live. Je
tried London. But the breakfast
prune had cast its spell upon him,
and here he was, back again, hunting
for familiar resorts and finding most
of them gone out of business.
Looking back on it now, John could
see that Clara Thompson had been
quite right in refusing him. He had
walked the primrose path at a rapid
pace; his name had, more than once,
been in the papers in connection with
rather disreputable affairs and one
shady stock transaction into which
he had been lured by evil companions.
A chorus girl—merely as an adver-
tisement for herself—had sued him
for breach of promise.
Yes, Clara had been quite right,
he thought, and yet—she might have
taken the chance. She would have
taken it if she had really loved him.
Meditating over his after-dinner cof-
fee one evening he heard the old
familiar sounds of the city; the old
familiar smells of the streets came
in at the open window—for it was
July when the spell of the breakfast
prune had finally brought him back.
A man who had just finished his
dinner and was going out glanced at
the meditative man, paused, looked
again, and came up, saying, “Well,
well, John Martin, eh? Haven't seen
you for a long time. Been out of
. town?”
“Been away fifteen years,” said
John. “Sit down, Mervyn, and tell
me all the news.” Mervyn said there
was not much news going, but John
threw questions at him in a perfect
fusillade. One thing which immedi-
ately struck John was that his “dead
past” had apparently “buried its
dead.” Mervyn appeared to have en-
tirely forgotten the details of that
meteoric career which had culminat-
ed in John’s departure from the city
in disgrace.
“Whatever became of Clara Thomp-
son?’ asked John at last. It had
been the first question he had wanted
to ask, but he had hesitated, eager
for and yet dreading the answer.
“Clara Thompson?” replied Mervyn.
“Old Silas Thompson's daughter? Oh,
she—let me see. Oh, I remember,
she married a man named Smythe and
went West years ago.”
John heaved a sigh, deep and long.
“What?” cried Mervyn. “Were you
smitten in that quarter?” And to
think that the wholé town had talked
of Clara’s refusal of John only fifteen
Fears ago! “Noy I come to think of
it,” went on Mervyn, “didn’t old
Thompson have two daughters? Come
to think of it, it was the other one,
Mand, who married the Smythe fel-
low. What became of Clara I don’t
know. Haven't heard of her for years.
I'll ask my wife. She'll know. Come
up to dinner tomorrow night.”
“You ninny,” said Mrs. Mervyn,
when her husband told her of his
meeting with John Martin and of his
asking after Clara Thompson. “Don’t
you remember that they nvere en-
gaged once and for some reason—I
have forgotten what—the engage-
ment was called off? Clara aban-
doned society and went in for settle-
ment work soon after. Was that
fifteen years ago? Dear me, how
time does fly. I'll try and get Clara
up to dinner tomorrow night to meet
her old flame. Is he married?”
“] forgot to ask,” confessed Mer-
vyn.
The dinner at the Mervyns was a
very pleasant affair. Clara and John
met like two old friends. After din-
ner Mrs. Mervyn managed to leave
the two alone together for quite a
little time, and alone together their
hearts spoke.
“So you never got my letter, John?”
said Clara at last. “I sent it to the
address given me by your lawyer at
Cape Town—saent it a week after you
had sailed.”
“Ah” replied John, “I did not go
direct to Cape Town as I had In-
-
trout which Mr. Lewis R. Freeman
‘low Yellowstone lake.
sh hc i ha
tended. It was nearly two years be-
fore I reached the Cape. What wa»
in that letter, Ciara?” ’
“Oh, I offered to take you—with
all your faults. I found, John—
after you had gone—that you had
become a part of my life. Ah, well,
that was long ago. We are middle-
aged people now and must forget
our early dreams. Fate seems to have
decided our lots for us.”
yes, cried John, “Fate has in
deed decided. Fate has brought me
back to New York; to a city whose
streets I had sworn never to tread
again. Back to New York and ww
you, Clara.”
“John,” said she, “it is too late."
“It never is too late,” replied Johr
And in this case he was right.
Trout by the Handful
in the Yellowstone
That was a wonderful pocket of
saw in the Yellowstone river just be-
In his book
“Down the Yellowstone” he describer
it thus: y
At the first rapid—an abrupt fall of
from three to six feet formed by a
ledge of bedrock that extended all the
way across the river—I found count-
less millions of trout bunched where
the obstacles blocked their upward
movement to the lake. I had seen
salmon jumping falls on many occa-
sions, but had never before seen trout.
They seemed to be getting in one an-
other’s way a good deal, but even so
they were clearing the barrier like a
flight of so many grasshoppers. Many
made a clean jump of it. Others strik-
ing near the top of the fall, still had
enough kick left in their tails to drive
on up through the bottle-green water.
But those that struck the middle were
carried back.
Immediately under the fall the fish
were so thick that thrusting your hand
into a pool near the bank was like
EQUIPMENT FOR
FOREST CAMPERS.
Clothing, equipment and rations
necessary for traveling or camping in
the Pennsylvania State forests have
been detailed by officials of the de-
partment of forests and waters as a
guide for persons expecting to visit
the forests this summer.
For clothing they advise a suit of
khaki, whipcord or overall material;
a mackinaw or sweater; medium
weight underwear; two pairs of med-
ium or one pair of heavy socks; light
or medium weight flannel or khaki
shirts; stout easy shoes or leather
boots with heavy soles with sneakers
or moccasins for camp; canvas or
leather leggings if shoes are worn;
buckskin gloves and a moderately
wide brimmed felt hat.
In the matter of bedding they sug-
gest an eiderdown or wool quilt with
an extra covering of denim. They
point out if blankets are chosen, that
two light ones are warmer than a
single heavy one; a seven by seven
foot ten ounce canvas can be used as
a ground cloth and also to cover camp
equipment in an automobile.
The cooking and mess equipment
should consist of table and butcher
knives; table and meat forks; tea,
table and stirring spoons; plates;
cups, milk, dishes, frying and stew-
ing pans, canvas water pail, can
opener, colander, coffee pot and Dutch
oven. Camp equpment should also
include a shovel, axe or hatchet, stout
knife, assorted nails, repe, flashlight,
lantern, folding camp stools and can
to carry sugar and other condiments.
As a guide for the rations needed
the list by the United States forest-
ry service is given. It includes fresh,
cured or canned meat, bread, crack-
ers, flour, baking powder, lard, sugar,
syrup, ground coffee, tea, canned
milk, butter, dried and canned fruits,
rice, beans, potatoes, onions, canned
tomatoes, macaroni, cheese, salt and
pepper.
An admonition not to forget twine,
towels, candles, soap and matches
also is given.
When getting lost i nthe mountains
persons are warned to “keep their
reaching into the bumper haul of a
freshly drawn seine. Closing a fist on |
the slippery creatures was quite an- |
other matter, however; I was all of |
twenty minutes throwing half a dozen
two-pounders and three-pounders out
upon the bank.—Youth’s Companion.
Tiny Sea Creatures
Form Layers of Roch
With respect to the marvelous ca-
pacities that even the lowest forms of
life possess, a scientist attached to one
of the government bureaus has de-
s-~ibed the wonderful shells that the
Jolarian organisms and their allies
make. Each of the animals is a minute
speck of colodial compound, or gelatin- |
ous slime, without visible structure of !
any kind, yet each constructs for itself
a tiny casket of exquisite beauty. The
material that they use is either lime
or silica and it is extracted from sea-
water.
The shells of Polycystina are so tiny
that a woman’s thimble would hold at
least a million of them. They were
made long ago in Barbados, where
they form the .chief part of a layer of
rock 1,100 feet thick.
Countless billions of similar rock-
builders still live in the sea and their
shells accumulate in the form of soft,
gray mud, or ooze, on the bottom of
the ocean. Eventually it becomes rock.
Phonograph Records
Phonograph records are made from
shellac, rotten stone, china, clay. car-
bon black and cotton fiber, mixed and
softened to the consistency of dough.
This compound is run though a blank-
ing machine and blanked out in sheets.
When ready for pressing these blanks
are softened on a steam table and
the sticky mass is placed in steam-
heated molds having the record
grooves or negatives on their surface.
The whole is then subjected to hy-
draulic pressure of 100 tons or more
and allowed to remain under pressure
until it has been chilled and set by
cold water running through the mold.
It is then removed and sent to an
edging machine, then inspected for
sweat marks from the hands of the
workmen, or blemishes caused by care-
lessness in softening or chilling.
ay Damsel oT
“Damsel,” with its obsolete form:
“damosel,” is familiar to many sol-
diers who returned from France as
the last part of the word frequently
used by them, “mademoiselle.”
Formerly, however, “mademoiselle*
nad a specific meaning. It was the
title given to tke oldest sister of the
king of France. Then it was given to
all unmarried women, provided they
were not of noble origin.
So that it required a good knowl
edge of familly trees, with all their
branches, to enable a Frenchman to
use the term ‘mademoiselle” correct
ly. In English the term “damsel” wag
applied to young unmarried women in-
discriminately.
In France itself the revolution mada
the term “mademoiselle” applicable to
all unmarried women.—Chicago Joar-
nal.
Soul and Body
Armed with an English walnut, the
Sunday school teacher explained to
her class the mystery of the separm-
tion of soul and body at death. After
the soul (the kernel) was liberated,
she proceeded to inter the body (the
soul) In a flower pot. The children
nodded their heads and looked intelli-
gent.
The following day one of the we.
tots ran to her mother holding up
bleeding finger and weeping pitifully.
“Oh, mamma! Mamma!” she walled.
“We'll have to bury me. My shell's
cracked and my soul is all running
heads” and fight a panicky feeling. It
is pointed out there is little danger of
getting lost in the Pennsylvania
mountains during the summer, but in
case this occurs it was declared, “thir-
ty minutes of calm thought will be
worth more than hours spent in aim-
less rushing.”
Campers are also advised they can
always reach the settlements by
traveling down stream.

“The Government Should Control Public Money”
Says a paragraph in the platform of the radical third party.
There is no such thing as public money.
Every dollar the government has was taken from the people in
the way of taxes, or by borrowing, and it spends the revenue thus re-
ceived as fast as it gets it.
Governments cannot make money. Time and again, all through
history, nations have tried the experiment. Germany recently tried
it, Russia tried it and their so called money proved worthless.
By public money is doubtless meant the deposits of the Federal
Reserve Banks. But every dollar of this money belongs to the people.
The government does not own, nor can it take one dollar of their re-
sources.
They belong to the banks that are members of the Federal Re-
serve System and the banks owe it to the millions of depositors. You
are probably one of these depositors.
Get it clearly in mind that the immense resources of this great
country are owned by individuals, that what we call government is
designed for the protection of society, and not to do business either
by making so called money or running railroads or any other form of
enterprise.
The less government interferes with business the more we
prosper.
