RITER BOY STILL UNUONSOIUUS,
Distracted Parents of George Riter Pa.
tlencly Walting for Tarn Which They

dition,
It was a most distressing bit of news
which sent Edward Riter, accom-
panied by his father-in-law, George E.
Ginpgerich, to Pottsville, Schuylkill
county, last Thursday morning. The
message received wae that George Ri-
ter, eight years of age, and the older
of the two sons of Mr, and Mrs. Riter,
had been seriously injured in a fall
The gravity of the injury may be ap-
preciated when it is said that the lad
hae been in an uncenscious condition
for an entire week.
The circumstances surrounding the
mishap are these : Mrs. Riter and her
two sons had a week previous gone to
Pottsville to visit friends and early
last week the mo her left for Philadel-
to do some shopping. She returnea
to Potisville Wednesdry afternoon ana
on her way from the station to her
stopping place George ran to meet his
mother and upun approaching a ditcu
along the read stumbled and fell into
it. The fall resulted in a fracture ol
the skull and when the mother reach-
ed her boy she found bim unconscious.
A doctor’s examination revealed that
there was a concussion of the Lrain
and that the lad bad suffered a cere-
bral hemorrhage.
Anxious relatives and friends in
Centre Hall have been hoping for
some encouraging news but it has fali-
ed to arrive. Lr, H. H. Longwell, the
local puysiciap, has received ipforiu-
ation from the physician having ihe
lad in charge at Pottsville, regarding
the progress the boy is making, ano
the latest news was received Tuesday
afterncon, which contained Monday's
report of the hapless boy’s condition,
George was ** holding his own,” were
the puyesician’s worde, although still
unconscious,
As the Reporter goes to press ( Wea-
nesday noon) no farther word has
beeu received, so it may be presume
that no change, for better or for woree,
has taken place.

THINNING IN MEDICAL RANKS
Fewer College Men Take Up the Study
of Medicine, According to
the Statistica,
An official in one of Philadelphia's
big medical colleges sald to me, writes
a Philadelphia Public Ledger report
er: “The number of physicians grows
leas each year. There is already a
noticeable lack of them in some rural
districts.
“It is true also that the number of
medical students in our Philadelphia
colleges, as well as in the medical col
leges in other parts of the United
Btates, is smaller now than it was
formerly. In 1904 there were 20,000
medical students in the country, but
now there are only 18,000.”
“What Is the reason for this de
cline™ I asked the college professor.

New Use for Ozone.
Ozone generators have been found
to be of great value in refrigerating
plants, and several of the large estab
lishments of Europe have been thus
equipped. In the coldstorage rooms
attached to slaughter houses the tem-
perature of the alr is liable to be
raised to a serious extent when the
doors are left open for any reason;
for instance, when meat is being put
in or taken out. The micro-organisms
of putrefaction immediately become
active under such circumstances, and
the keeping quality of the meat is
diminished. Now it is well known
that ozone is a powerful germicide,
it the air of the cold-storage room is
ozonized, its temperature may be
raised without injury to the contents, |
