MANY SEEDLINGS
PLANTED IN STATE.
Figures compiled by the Pennsyl-
vania Department of Forests and Wa-
ters show that 9,882,310 forest trees
from the State forest nurseries were
set out by 2,254 planters in all parts
of the Commonwealth in 1928. Plan-
tations established during the year
average 33 to the county and num-
‘ber of trees supplied each planter was
on the average, 4,400. Every coun-
ty is represented.
Berks county led the field both in
number of trees planted and planta-
tions established, with 579,541 trees
and 124 planters. Elk county was
second in place with 575,025 trees and
40 planters, Clearfield third with
567,921 trees and 66 planters.
In the number of individual plant-
ings, York and Westmoreland coun-
ties ranked second and third, with 91
and 82 planters, respectively.
Elk county led in the size of the
average planting with 14,375 trees
per planter. In Lackawanna coun-
ty the average planter set out 12,643
trees and in Cambria county 11,233
trees.
The three counties which reflected
leadership in tree planting last year
in Pennsylvania illustrate significant-
ly the diversity of interest which is be-
ing shown in Pennsylvania's refores-
tation program, Department officials
said. Berks county, essentially agri-
cultural, reflects the interest of the
farmers, who have been active in tree
planting and the improvement of
their woodlots ever since trees for
reforestation have been supplied by
tke Department. Lackawanna coun-
ity is in the heart of the anthracite
region where the acute shortage of
timber for the mining industry has
long been. felt. Elk county, on the
other hand, is still one of the best
timbered in the Commonwealth.
It is pointed out by the Department
that if all plantings had equalled the
individual rate of planting in Elk
county, 32,400,000 trees would have
been planted, and nearly 40,000,000
trees would have been set out if oth-
er counties had matched the combin-
ed efforts of Berks county planters.
Cambria county had 50 planters
and planted 561,650 trees.
“IN PRAISE OF LAZINESS.”
I make no bones of it, but here
confess and set down that I am lazy.
1 was born lazy and it has grown on
me. I would never move at all if it
did not hurt me to remain in one
position. The only reason I take ex-
ercise is in order to relax afterward.
Furthermore, I raise my voice in
defense of the army of lazy ones.
They are the salt of the earth.
A lazy person does better work
than an industrious body. He puts a
fiery energy into his task because
he wants to finish it as soon as pos-
sible.
A lazy boy will saw wood so that
he can get through and rest. A lazy
girl sweeps the room with whirlwind
activity, while the girl- who loves
work will fiddle about all morning.
It is laziness . that is the spring of
human progress.
Because a lazy man wanted to get
out of the job of currying a horse,
he thought out a plan for putting a |
bucket of gasoline under the buggy
Seat, whereby we ride like the wind.
Because lazy folks hated to climb
stairs, elevators were invented. .Be-
‘cause people were too lazy to get off
the train and go to the lunch counter
they devised dining cars: and being
too lazy to ride on the rail
night sitting up,
ing cars.
Being too lazy to dip his pen in
the ink every few seconds, some gen-
ius invented the fountain pen. And
being too lazy to even use that, he
proceeded to build a typewriter. Also
too lazy to run the typewriter him-
self he started the fashion of having
girl typists.
It was a lazy genius that thought
of making a patent cigar lighter out
of a flint stone and benzine, because
he was too tired to strike matches.
Likewise, who would have conceived
the idea of a fireless cooker, some
‘woman tco lazy to stand over the
«<00k stove?
The eight-day clock is due to the
unwillingness of men to wind the
thing up every evening; and now they
have clocks that will run a year.
It is to almighty laziness we owe
‘the ocean liner, the electric telegraph,
‘the baby wagon, the buggy spring,
‘the shoe-horn and the works of Mark
“Twain.
It is told of the last named that
when he worked in a newspaper of-
fice he would pay the office boy a
‘nickel to sweep round him so that he
‘would not have to take his" feet off
the table. :
If everybody was an earnest and
toiling little Willie that just ate up
work and loved to employ every mo-
ment into useful energy, we should
lapse into barbarism.
It is because the race is so blamed
trifling and shiftless that it forges
ahead.

Your Health,
The First Concern.
Pneumonia is one of the most dead-
ly diseases which affiicts our poor
humanity. Every year one hundred
thousand people die in this country
from this disease which is particu-
| larly fatal during the cold months of
the year. Elderly people and young
children constitute the great major-
ity of victims.
Pneumonia is an infection. It is
produced by various organisms, some
of which are much more deadly than
others. The disease is undoubtedly
communicable through contact. On
this account, contact of elderly peo-
ple and children with persons suffer-
ing from the disease should be care-
fully avoided.
It is not the purpose of this article
to describe pneumonia or to outline
a plan of treatment of the disease
since every case of pneumonia re-
quires the personal attention of a
competent physician. It is the writ-
er’s conviction that the lives of many
of those who die from this disease
might be saved if more effective
measures of treatment were employ-
ed, and the purpose of this article is
simply to call attention to some of
the measures known to have great
life-saving value in these cases and
which are by no means always made
use of.
The fever and many other symp-
toms of pneumonia are due to poi-
sons produced py the infecting or-
ganism. These poisons are removed
by the kidneys. The rapid elimina-
tion of the poisons is greatly aided
by copious water drinking. Every
adult pneumonia patient should take
a glassful of water every half hour
when awake. If a whole glassful of
water cannot be taken at once, the
dose may be divided and given every
fifteen minutes. The addition to the
water of fruit juices or of milk sugar
will sometimes enable the patient to
take it more easily and will aid by
supplying sugar in a form which aids
the body :in combating the disease.
The amount of urine passed by the
patient will show whether or not the
proper amount of water is being ad-
ministered. So long as the urine is
scanty the amount of water is insuf-
ficient.
In pneumonia, as in other fevers,
there is a tendency to acidosis, and
in this disease, in which the respira-
tion is interfered with, the tendency
is particularly marked. On this ac-
count acid ash foods such as beef tea
and eggs as well as meat in any form
should be carefully avoided. The
common practice of making cereal
gruels almost the exclusive diet in
such cases in highly detrimental.
Porridge prepared from lima beans,
| gruels or soups prepared from pota-
| toes, spinach and other vegetables
should be used instead of cereals.
Fruit juices purees should be very
{ freely used. . Nut emulsions prepared
| from almonds and malted nuts may
i be used in place of milk with advan-
| tage, but milk or cream may be add-
ed in moderate quantities to soups or
| porridges prepared from beans or po-
'tatoes. Pure of dates, figs, rasins
+ and other fruits are excellent because
of the large amount of alkaline food
salts which help to neutralize. the
| acids caused by the fever.
| A peculiar feature of this disease
i is the failure of the kidneys to elim-
| inate salt. The salt is retained in the
‘tissues. Exactly why has noi been
fully explained. It is, however, gen-
erally agreed by the ablest clinicians
that the use of salt should be avoid-
ed during this disease. On this ac-
count, it is well to make the diet con-
sist very largely of fruit juices and
purees and other
commonly taken without salt.
The old-fashioned water-cure meth-
ods which have been in use for cen-
turies are wonderfully effective in
this disease. This is particularly true
of the pack. When the patient’s tem-
perature is high and the skin hot and
dry the wet sheet pack affords won-
derful relief and exercises a control-
ling effect over the disease and pro-
duces beneficial effects which are of-
ten little short of marvelous. If the
‘ patient’s skin surface is cold, even
though the temperature may be high,
a hot blanket pack should be given
instead of a wet sheet pack. A hot
blanket pack is administered by
! wrapping the patient in thick woolen
blankets wrung out of water as hot
as can be borne. This brings the
blood to the surface and after a few
moments a cold wet sheet pack can
, be applied. The cold wet sheet pack
' consists in wrapping the patient in a
sheet wrung as dry as possible out
of cold water. The patient is quick-
ly wrapped in the wet sheet and then
with several woolen blankets. A
strong reaction occurs within a few
moments which brings the blood to
the surface and relieves the internal
congestion. The writer recalls sev-
eral cases in which the patient was
apparently almost in a dying state
but was rallied and brought to re-
ure.
Many years ago when babies were
dying rapidly of pneumonia in a New
York children’s hospital the doctor in

tected from the wind. Many babies
apparently in a dying state when
they were taken to the open air ward

SCHUYLKILL CO. MURDERER
ELECTROCUTED ON MONDAY.
| Alvarez Miquel, of Schuykill coun-
ity, was electrocuted at Rockview
| penitentiary, on Monday morning,
! for the murder of his alleged sweet-
| heart, Louise Jacks, at her boarding
| house in Pottsville, on the evening of
January 8th, 1928. Miquel’'s body
was unclaimed and was buried in the
penitentiary cemetery.
From the time Miquel was brought
to the death house, on Saturday, until
the hour of his execution he slept but
little cad only ate one meal, that on
Sunday, declining breakfast Monday
morning. As evidence that he had
given up all hope is the fact that he
wade a will, on Sunday, in which he
disposed of two insurance policies, he
claimed he had, aggregating $3500,
and a sugar plantation he said he had
in the Isle of Pines, his home coun-
try. In his will be directed that
$1000 be paid to sheriff Gordon Nagel,
of Pottsville; $2,000 to Miss Margaret
Barket, of Pottsville, who he claimed
sugar plantation to his daughter,
Mary Regina Miquel, of the Isle of
Pines. No mention was made of his
wife, although he stated at Pottsville
that he had a wife living but refused
to state where she is.
On the evening of the murder Mi-
quel went to the girl’s home, called
her down stairs and shot her as they
stood talking in the hallway. As she
fell to the floor he fired another bullet
into her head. He made no effort to
escape and told officers he killed the
girl because she was trying to get
rid of him. 2
He was tried in the Schuylkill coun-
ty court in June, 1928, convicted and
condemned to death. At the time
Miquel claimed to be ths son of a
wealthy Cuban planter and intimated
that the Cuban government would
not permit him to be put to death.
His case was carried to the Supreme
court, which affirmed the verdict of
the lower court. In December Gov-
ernor Fisher set the date for his elec-
trocution as February 18th. Before
the time arrived Miquel wrote a let-
ter to the Governor asking that he be
either hanged or shot, as he did not
want to be roasted to death by elec-
trocution.
His attorneys finally made an ay-
peal for clemency to the Board of
Pardons which resulted in a respite
to March 25. On March 8th Miquel
made a daring escape from the Potts-
ville jail with the aid of a revolver
smuggled into him by a woman sym-
pathizer, shooting two men. He was
recaptured the same evening and the
Board of Pardons, last week, refused
to consider his application for clem-
ency.
When brought to the death house,
on Saturday, he stated that he was
born on the Isle of Pines twenty-
eight. years ago and said. his father
is a tobacco grower. His parents are
still living. Miquel played baseball
during the summer seasons and was
a hotel waiter in winter time. At
one time he made a try at breaking
into the big league through the Chi-
cago club but failed to make good.
AN ACADEMY BOXER
BESTED NAVY CHAMPION.
The only Navy boxer to win out
in the finals of the intercollegiate
{ boxing meet at State College, Satur-
day night, was Fitzgerald, in the 125
pound class, who got the decision over
Kolakoski, of Penn State. And this
calls to mind that last year Fitzger-
, and was a member of the Navy plebes
' boxing team and was defeated on his
home floor by Paul Buckley, of the
Bellefonte Academy, in the dual meet
between the Academy team and the
plebes. :
That was Buckley's first year with
lots of practice and those who have
seen him in action and also saw Fitz-
gerald at State College, Saturday
night, are of the opinion that were ,
the two matched this year Buckley
would again prove a winner.
In the five meets in which, the
Academy took part this year Buck-
ley won over every competitor in the
125 pound class, and in several meets
also took on the 135 pound entry and
defeated him. In fact he has not lost
a bout in which he has engaged in the
past two years, which included op-
ponents at the Navy and West Point.
In addition to his school sport he
made one trip to Shamokin and de-
feated his man in an amateur match.
Buckley is from Binghamton, N.
Y., and is 19 years old. He is a
quiet, unobtrusive young man, well
up in his studies, but a regular bear-
cat with his fists. He will have one
more year at the Academy.

BETTER SANITATION
FOR HEALTHY CHICKS.
Beginning yesterday and continu-

meetings will be held in various sec-
tions of Centre conuty, under the
auspices of the county Agricultural
Extension Association, in the interest
of poultry growing. Meetings were
held yesterday at Spring Mills and
Howard and the two booked for to-
day are at the Odd Fellows hall,
Port Matilda, at 2 p. m., and the
High school building, Rebersburg, at
8 p. m.
The speakers at these meetings will
be county agent R. C. Blaney and
John Vanderwort, poultry specialist
at State College. This is the season
of the year in which the greatest loss
occurs in the poultry flocks, said
county agent Blaney. This is due to
'the losing of chicks from various
i causes, chief among which is the
question of proper sanitation. Spec-
