Consider the Children.
The Children’s Seashore house at
Atlantic City for invalid children the
oldest and one of the largest institu-
tions of its kind in America, was
started in 1872 and incorporated in
1873. Since its incorporation it has
taken care of 74,806 children and 12,-
437 mothers, a total of 87,243 persons.
It was founded by Philadelphians
for the poor invalid children of that
city. Its field of usefulness has
spread with its augmented capacity
so that it has had little patients from
Virginia, Massachusetts, and from as
far west as Indiana. Twenty-three
Atlantic City children received all the
benefits it can bestow during the past
year.
The Seashore house co-operates with
the various hospital social service de-
partments, Red Cross stations, day
nurseries and child welfare bureaus. It
is the pioneer in its field and is not
affiliated with any other institution.
During the past year patients were
admitted through 142 such organiza-
tions. Its greatest field of usefulness
is that of caring for children suffering |
with bone and joint diseases.
This class of diseases progresses
very slowly. The period of convales-
cence is necessarily long. The aver-
age length of time of invalidism is
two years.. During the winter months
the institution is devoted entirely to
this ‘phase’ of work. At the present
time the winter capacity is 140 beds.
The fourth department of the insti-
tution is devoted to the summer out-
ing children. Children convalescing
from acute and chronic diseases whose
general health is below par are al-
lowed to regain their normal strength.
Delicate, underweight and under-
nourished children are included in
this class. :
1t is ‘interesting ‘In this connection
to note the remarkably low cost of the
maintenance of such a family. Last
year the percapita was $1.43 per day.
This figure included all expenses of’
every nature.
It is evident that the object of the
Institution is to help in every possi-
ble manner, poor invalid or crippled
children whose conditions are not a
matter of choice. They had no voice
in the matter. These conditions ex-
ist. It is truly a noble work to help
to alleviate suffering and in many in-
stances make self-supporting men
and women.
Miss Helen Overton, of this place,
gives her service. for two months in
the summer to this institution and
heartily endorses all of the above.
If any reader feels inclined to con-
tribute to so worthy a service, Miss
Overton will be delighted to deliver
such in the donor’s name, to the prop-
€r source.

Warden Stutsman Buys Bellefonte
Property.
J. O. Stutsman, who recently re-
signed as warden of the Rockview
penitentiary, will become a permanent
resident of Bellefonte. On Monday he
purchased the old Gordon property,
on Curtin street, from the Price fam-
ily and on Tuesday and Wednesday
moved his household furniture there
» from the warden’s residence at Rock-
view. For the present he will occupy
one of the apartments in the house
and the Price family will continue to
make that their home.
Up to yesterday the prison board
had made no appointment of a sue-
cessor to Mr. Stutsman, and the
warden’s residence will probably
stand idle until a new warden is ap-
pointed.
Expert on Pianos Coming.
Clarence F. Brey, the Philadelphia
piano expert, will spend one or two
weeks in Bellefonte doing special
work and tuning on a limited number
of pianos.
He has, for the past fourteen years,
spent his summers in this section of
the State and his reputation in Phila-
delphia for enduring, fine tuning and
exacting action work is well recog-
nized.
He served seven years with Stein-
way and Sons and six with Mason and
Hamlin as concert tuner to eminent
artists. ; '
Charges are reasonable on these
summer trips. Address requests for
appointments with him, care this
office. 71-27-3t.
SMITH.—John Calvin Smith died
very suddenly at his home at Union-
ville last Saturday night. He had
been in his usual health early in the
evening and retired about nine-
thirty. An hour and a half later he
called his daughter to tell her that he
was very ill. She resorted to such
home remedies as were at hand and
sent for a physician, but in twenty
minutes the end came from what is
supposed to have been an acute attack
of indigestion.
d was a son of William H. | the family were in the employ of one
Deceased W born in ! or the other of the Valentine families,
and Keziah Smith and was
Unionville on July 3, 1849. As a lad |
he took up carpentering with his
father and worked at the trade until
August, 1864, when he ran away to
enlist for service in the Civil war.
Though only one month over fifteen
years of age he was mustered into
service with the 200th Reg. Penna.
Vols., with which he served till the
end of the war; having received a
slight wound at the battle of Peters-
burg. An unusual circumstance In
this connection is that - when the
father learned that the son had run
away to go to war he went after him
and arriving at Harrisburg too late
enlisted himself with the hope of
being able to care for the lad. They
met only twice, however, while under
arms.
Returning from the war he took up
contracting and building in which he
was engaged for many years before
coming here in 1881 to work in the
mill of the Ardell Lumber Co. When
the, latter changed hands and was
reorganized by the late Edward Hoy
Mr. Smith was made superintendent
and remained in charge of operation
until 1921 when he retired and had
since been leading an inactive life at
his home in Unionvlle.
On June 19th, 1872, he marred Miss
Julia Geary who died twelve years
ago leaving him with the following
children: Misses Grace and Kate at
home; Mrs. Geo. W. Bullock and Mrs.
Winifred Peters, of Unionville. One
sister, Mrs. Frances Showman, of
Connellsville, and two brothers, Jacob
P. Smith, of this place, and Geo. L.
Smith, of Easton, also survive,
Mr. Smith was a member of the
Methodist church, the
lodge of Odd Fellows and a gentleman
of splendid character whose passing
will be greatly felt in the community
in which his life was spent.
Interment was made in Oak Ridge
cemetery, Wednesday afternoon, after
services had been held at his late
home by Rev. Lehman assisted by
Revs. Piper and Oakwood, of the
Presbyterian church. s

expectedly lapsed into. a state of
coma in which she continued without
regaining consciousness. :

Henry A. and Susan Lynn Snyder, of
Eagleville, and was born in that place
March 29th 1866, where she made her
home until she married Mr. Foster,
thereafter having continuously resid-
ed at State College. She was a
woman of charming personality, de-
voted to her home, her family and the
activities of the Presbyterian church

ist in New York State; Marshall, who
