THEY SHY Bill to Add 116 Prepared For Presentation to the House Dur ing This Week The addition of four corporals and twenty-five troopers to each of the four troops of the Pennsylvania State Police force is contemplated by a bill which is to be presented to the House to-morrow and which will be backed by many members from rural districts because of the facilities it will offer for extension of rural patrols. The bill has been recommended l.v the Economy and Efficiency Commis sion and numerous conservation, agri cultural and other organizations have called for more rural patrol work and will get support from many members from interior counties. Under the demands of the State government the State Police are doing things never contemplated by the framers of the law establishing the fprce, and their work has attracted the attention of a dozen States. They have been called upon to serve at old home weeks, county fairs, campmeetings. farmers' picnics, athletic meets, celebrations of all kinds and even for parades where there are crowds to handle, as well as to help the Department of Health enforce quarantines, aid the State Livestock Sanitary Board when neces sary to kill cattle because of disease, to break up illegal fishing, assist game wardens in their work against the game law violators and to light forest (ires. Thirty-two substations are or dinarily provided, but the strike cer vice at Erie and the Gettysburg re union expenses used up much of the appropriation and the troopers have been confined to barracks, except in a j few counties. If the increase is voted I and enough appropriation is made, substations will be established in I rural districts, farmhouses being' headquarters in many cases, and the countryside given the advantage of men at regular places and covering thirty-mile districts. In the last vear almost every district attorney used State polce, and requests for details have been made in the last two months that the department cannot fill. NORTHERN TIER IN | GAMEDISCUSSION What Suits Southern Counties Not; Well Received in the Upper Part of State Hunters living in the northern coun ties of Pennnsylvania and the counties in the northeastern tier where F»>all game Is to be found in abundance and where deer hunting has been a favor ite pastime for years will send repre sentatives here within the next few days to task for a public hearing on the Phillips bill, which calls for many MONDAY EVENING, RECESS COMES Al END OFTHtS WEEK Legislators Will Face Big Calen dars When They Meet For Tonight's Sessions The Legislature will adjourn until .March 1 at the conclusion of .his week's work. It is-the program for both houses to meet to-night and to hold daily sessions and numerous committee hearings until Wednesday or Thursday, and then take a recess to allow bills to be prepared, inspections to be made and other preliminary work to be accomplished. The Senate may adjourn on Wednesday. The House will adjourn on Thursday. It is expected that when the law makers reconvene that the workmen's compensation act will be ready for their consideration. It will be sub mitted to the Governor and mem bers of the platform bill committee at a conference to be held to-morrow, and be printed, together with state ments for and against administra tive and other features. In the re cess the Governor will give his at tention to the bills relative to high ways, education, the Department of Agriculture and the proposed Depart ment of Conservation and also con tinue his study of the State finances. Both branches have long calendars for to-night. The Senate has thirty bills, fifteen on third reading, five on second reading and ten on first. On final passage are several Allegheny county bills, and on second the meas ure carrying half a million dollars to pay expenses of the foot and mouth disease campaign, the third House bill to be reported out in the upper chamber. The House has eighteen bills, all but one on second reading. The final passage bill would lower the minimum school tax levy in first class school districts; second reading bills include those providing for an addi tional judge in Dauphin county, mak ing the mountain laurel the State flower, carrying $46,000 to pay for advertising of constitutional amend ments and a number of borough and township acts. One bill is in the Governor's hands. It is the deficiency bill, carrying about 1640,000. changes in the recent seasons for hunt ing small and large game. The northern hunters contend that while conditions in the southern coun ties may warrant such a departure from the present laws, the enactment of the Phillips bill as now drafted would practically kill the sport in the upper tier of counties. This is dMe to the fact that winter begins there much earlier than in the counties along and near the southern border. There is some talk of trying to please everybody by having the stale opportioned into hunting districts with different seasons in each district so as to meet, local conditions, but this is not considered practicable. The State Game Commission finds itself handicapped trying to propa gate wild game life in the state due to the setback In getting quail from Mexico and Cuba. The commission, however, has met with no dlfficultv in securing packrabblts. Thosands of "cottontails'" have been brought here from Virginia and other southern states and turned loose In the woods. BEIEIN Bill WOUIDJELP STATE Provides Way For Institutions | Under State Control to Discount Their Bills Provision that quarterly appropri ations to institutions owned anil op erated in whole or in part by the Commonwealth shall be paid to the officials in charge of such establish ments in advance of the quarter in stead of at the close is made bv a bill prepared for introduction in the Sen ate to-morrow night by Senator Ed ward E. Beidleman, of this city. The bill is designed to ease thp burdens of maintenance of such institutions and the State is to be safeguarded bv a bond to be given by the board ad ministering the hospital. Senator Beidleman is a member of the board of trustees of the State Hospital for the Chronic Insane at 1 South -Mountain and the bill is the result of his experience. He found that owing to the fact that State in stitutions were required to buv from bidders who were forced to wait months for settlements of their ac counts that the Commonwealth was at a disadvantage and firms which might ! but were opposed to carrying accounts, in this way buying has become re- ' stricted. But the terms of his bill the trustees or managers will have oppor tunity to pay snot cash and to discount bills, which they are unable to do now and will not be required to make loans if they need money. The Beidleman bill requires the heads of institutions to make requi sitions within fifteen days of the ad vance of any quarter for the total estimated amount of the total per capita cost of maintenance of the patients or Inmates "for said quarter shall be honored forthwith by the Anditor General." A quarterly report within twenty da\s after the ending of each quar ter is to be made under oath setting forth number of persons and anv changes which may have occurred anil to include "a specific itemized state- i ment" under oath or all receipts and ! expenditures, together with the cash i balance, which balance is to be de ducted from the amount charged for maintenance for the succeeding quar ter. The report is also to include all outstanding obligations, if any. A bond of So.ooo is to be given with cor porate security, to be paid for out of the funds for maintenance ~ THAT'S DIF tFERENT. thinks our cook makes things too Bobbie: That kiss she rave you tor one thing.

V DISEASE GERMS 111 HIDDEN 11TIICKS Commitiioner Dixon Calls Atten tion to Enemies That Lurk When We Do Not Know State Commissioner of Health deals with the dangers from disease germs In axi eminently practical manner In n statement on the part bacteria piay in our lives. He discusses how infection is carried as follows: There are many things in the world which our five senses unaided would never apprise us of. There are sounds too delicate for the ear to hear, odors which we cannot smell, flavors which we fail to recognize movements and vibrations to which our nerve centers do not respond and Innumerable ob jects in nature which we cannot see. Even the bravest man shrinks from danger which Is unseen. The deadliest enemies of mankind are absolutely invisible to the naked eye. Tubercu losis. cholera, typhoid fever, the plague, yellow fever and many other of the diseases which claim a greater number of lives than have ever been sacrificed in war are caused by those Invisible enemies which scientists call FEBRUARY 15, 191?. bacteria of micro-organisms. Com monly these are referred to as disease germs. Bacteria ore minute organisms the largest of which are only some ten or twelve thousandths of an inch in length. Not all bacteria are harmful but those which, are responsible for disease when introduced into the human or animal anatomy multiply with startling rapidity and give off poisons wtilch cause sickness and death. Mil lions of these organisms could be con tained in a single drop of water. There arc three very common ways In which disease germs are carried from person to person and Introduced Into the system—fingers, food and in sects. Foods which are eaten raw and milk and water are those most likely to transmit infection. Thorough cook iriK destroys the bacteria and unless the food is infected by being handled afterward. It Is safe. Our fingers are continually coming In contact with articles touched by others and may be so con taminated with human excre tions from those diseased. The intestinal discharges of those suffer ing from typhoid fever contain the germs and here uncleanllness is re sponsible for the transmission. Many epidemics of typhoid fever have b«en traced to a single case on a dairy farm where the housewife acted as nurse and milk-maid. insects alone are responsible for the transmission of the germs of certain diseases. Yellow fever and malaria for example are each carried hy n sin gle variety of mosquito from the sick to t-he welJ 3
