12 WOMEN'S INTERESTS GIRLS AND GOOD TIMES By BEATRICE FAIRFAX A letter has come to mo from two high school girls who are very much puzzled as to the differing viewpoints of their own generation and their fathers. Their letter reads in part: "Sister and I think that it Is all right for a girl to go out every Satur day night with a different young fel low, no matter whether she cares for him or not. Girls who work hard ail •week can't afford to stay home Satur day evening and Sunday and are per fectly at liberty to get hold of any young man they know in a proper way and go out with him. Father, who, though not an edu cated man, is far from being ig norant, argues that it is all right to go out with an acquaintance or.ee in a while but once in a wbile only. He even claims that a girl had better pay out of her owr. few pennies for her enter tainment rather than let any but a real friend spend his money on her. Now, we respect father's opinion, but we remember that he Is twenty years older than we and hasn't the up-to-date ideas." Yes, Father is twenty years older! And those twenty years have given him poise and mental balance and experience and the ut in quiet talks in the peace of a home. What Father Knows Father knows that a girl who is seer, out each week with a different youth gets the reputation for being giddy and flighty and extravagant and that sensible young men WHO mean to work to get on in the world -will avoid her. He knows that such a girl wears out her youth in a feverish quest for pleasure and that she never catches tip with honest joy. Father is very ■wise. The girls of to-day are a rather discontented, excitable set of be ings. A brilliant and distinguished >ld physician said to me recently: W fern Examine fMnYourTEETH —after you clean them. You will find, in all probability, an accumulation of tartar on the enamel and bits of food deposit hiding between the crevices. YOUR DENTIFRICE does not FULLY CLEAN! Loss of teeth is caused usually by one of two conditions —Pyorrhea or decay, both of which develop, as a rule, only in the mouth where germ-laden tartar is present. SENRECO, the recently discovered formula of a dental specialist, is two-fold in its action. First, it REALLY CLEANS, embodying specially prepared, soluble granules unusually effective in cleaning away food deposits. Second, it ia particularly destructive to the germ of Pyorrhea. Yet it is per fectly safe, containing neither injurious chemicals nor hard grit. Avoid Pyorrhea and decay. Get Senreco from your dealer today. In large tubes, 25c.

McCANN CHAPTER 90 In spite of-the application of a hun dred and one public health achieve ments; in spite of extraordinary public health discoveries and dis closures; In spite of tlie activities of public health officials, many dis eases, scarcely known even under primitive conditions of disorder and unsanitary environment, are on the constant increase. In the old days man's food was not denatured. Con sidering all the influences now at work In Ills behalf, what would bo the effect upon his health If lus food were not denatured to-day? Occasionally in opposition to the facts concerning the high death rate and the statistics with regard to the physical defectives of the United States one hears some such argument as this: "Years ago we had a much higher mortality record than we now have." "Everybody knows that the death rate per 100,000 has dropped tremen dously," thay argue. "In the face of this constant decrease in the death rate it follows that men to-day are living longer than they ever lived be fore. It also follows that if there was anything wrong with their food supply they could not show such consistent increase in health and longevity. "The death rate for the city of New York for the week of September 4, 1915, as given out by the health de partment was only 11.56 per 1,000, whereas a half centur> ago it was at least twice that much. It follows, therefore, that the men living in New York city to-day are better fed than they were fifty years ago, and all the arguments, however strongly fortified they seem to be by facts, must be set a«ide when they attempt to show that there is something seriously at fault with present-day diet." I have confronted this surprising argument in various quarters a hun dred times. Those who advance it are honest in their convictions, but in the first place a half-century ago statistics were not kept as they are kept to-day, and in the second place the statistics kept to-day are not, in any manner, indicative of an improvement in the quality of the general food supply with one notable exception—milk. When people say that the death rate has dropped from 20 per 1,000 to 11.56 per 1,000 they simply do not know what they are talking about, because no such figures as 20 per 1,000 exist on which to base a comparison, and in the particular instance 11.56, the fig ures are meaningless, owing to the overzeal on the part of the officials to make a good showing, based on an error involving a difference of 800,000 creatures who do not exist except on paper. In 1910 the Federal census ascer tained that New York city had a popu lation of 4,766,883. Ir. 1915 the State count showed a population of 5,066,222, an nctual increase of 300,000. Notwithstanding the official enu merations the health department de liberately credited the city with 5,806,582, an increase of 1,100,000 in five years, whereas in reality there was an increase of only 300,000. Therefore, we have the health de partment figuring the death rate on a population of 5,906,000 where only 5,066,000 persons live. The result is, of course, that the rate given, 11.56, as it is worked out in fictitious figures, is entirely too low, notwithstanding the fact that it has inspired much vainglorious boasting, a vast assort ment of empty congratulations and some jubilee dinners. In an editorial comment on these facts the New York Sun, September 12, 1915, said: "The error due to over- NEW PRESIDENT CHANGES CHINA Whole Spirit of Public Life Altered; Democracy in Its Own (Correspondence Associated Press.) Peking, July 31.—Li Yuan-hung's ac cession to the presidency has worked a wonderful change in Ctyna. The whole spirit of public life in Peking has been altered. Democracy seems to have come into Its own again. The new president lives informally at his palace outside the Forbidden City and drives about Peking in an automobile with only two soldiers to guard him. Chinese of all factions have a high personal regard for Li Yuan-hung and his life seems to be in no danger. He moves about at will, and conducts him self in a manner which would hav« been wholly impossible for Yuan Shih kai. i'he amented pesident seldom left the palace, and was believed to be in danger, even within its protecting walls. He was a man of iron, and had ruled by military power and by that alone. Consequently he had many bit ter enemies, apd few warm personal friends. Even his closest advisers ad mired him most for his power than for any personal charm. Li Yuan-hung is a Christian, a com municant of the Roman Catholic Church, and has always been strongly opposed to the connection of church and State. He has at different times openly opposed efforts to make Con fucianism the state religion of China, and stands for absolute religious free dom in the republic. Until 1911 LI Yuan-hung was little known in China. H* was born in Hu peh province in 1864, studied for six years at the Peiyang Naval College and served on a cruiser durfng the Chlno- Japanese war. After the war he en tered military service at Nanking, and later went to Wuchang, where he as sisted in the organization of modern troops under Viceroy Chang Chih-tung. For two years he stu died fortifications in Japan, and on his return became a major in the cavalry. His,service was chiefly at Wuchang, the capital of Hupeh province, which lies on the Yang-tse river immediately opposite the impotant commercial city in Hankow. Li Yuan-hung sprang Into national fame as commandant of the revoutlon ary forces at Wuchang in 1911. He was the chief leader In arranging for the Shanghai peace conference, and after the abduction of the Manchu, was elected vice-president of the republic. He was re-elected vice-president Oc tober 7, 1913. LI Yuan-hung's popularity with the masses was in no way diminished by his service under Yuan Shih Kal. At though he and the late president had ben Intimate friends for years, Li Yuan-hung absolutely refused to en dorse Yuan Shih Kai's monarchlal move ment. and declined all Imperial honors which Yuan Shih Kal attempted to heap upoh him. The late president Issued edicts making LI Yuan-hung a prince and conferring great wealth upon him. Li Yuan-hung absolutely declined to accept such honors, and repeatedly ex pressed his disapproval of all plans to abandon the republic. He was finally permitted to move without the For i bidden City. &nd tor months hfl « Uvad estimating the number of residents In the city runs through all the compu tations of the health department based thereon, and obviously renders the re sults of no value for the purposes for which they are used." The actual death rate in New York was approximately 13.4, not 11.56. The cheering figures when analyzed lose their comforting significance. Now let us see what the actual facts indicate, cate. , One does not have to go back fifty years to witness the typhoid epidemics that swept over the country, now a curse almost of the past. Yellow fever counted its victims by the thousands, while smallpox kept pace with this dread disease as a slaughterer of men. When appendicitis, most of the vic tims of which arc now saved through a better understanding of the nature of the disease and Its treatment, seized upon its victims those victims died, while all the deaths were recorded against the mysterious and meaning less but convenient phrase "inflamma tion of the bowels." Surgery knew little of the use of antiseptics, so when men were cut, wounded or bruised, gangrene, blood noisoning or tetanus fought for their lives. Convulsions of infants and cholera infantum destroyed hundreds of thou sands. Child-bed fever, clue to infec tion through ignorance of asepsis at birth, was a nightmare in every com munity. Skilled physicians and surgeons were not plentiful, nor were their services easily obtained Puerperal hemor rhage, other accidents of labor, and perperal septicemia were common. It was not so long ago when piles of garbage, filth and decay were to be seen lying in the camps, -hamlets, vil lages, towns and cities of the entire country. To-day every town has its health officer and every city its health depart ment. As much money is spent on health departments in the United States to-day as is spent upon edu cation. In the year 1914 for the city of New York alone $3,534,240 was appro priated for such current expenses. There was a little army of 3,421 on the health department payroll watching over the sanitary conditions of floating baths,station-)ry pools, bathing beaches, tents, camps, bungalows and cases of infectious diseases, regulating the pro duction and sale of milk, looking after the handling, storing and sale of food in stores, factories, hotels and restau rants. promoting the progress of in dustrial hygiene, regulating public laundries, disinfecting passeViger cars and omnibuses, requiring the removal of harmful gases from workrooms, requiring the owners of marsh lands and sunken lots to fill in or drain them to prevent the breeding of mosquitoes, and providing for the sanitation, ven tilation and lighting of theaters, re quiring institutions and private phy sicians to report of venereal dis ease, requiring the report of occupa tional diseases and injuries, requiring physicians and superintendents of hos pitals to report groups of cases of sus pected food poisoning, prohibiting per sons suffering from communicable dis eases from working in their homes on articles intended for general consump tion, regulating the free distribution of vaccines, antitoxins, serums and cultures, supervising contagious dis ease hospitals, investigating tubercu losis clinics and discharged sanatorium cases, regulating the operation of slaughter houses and the disposal of their offal, preventing the use of the common drinking cup and the com mon towel, etc., etc. in a palace provided for him by the government in the best residential sec tions of Peking. It was his desire t return to his native province of Hupeh, but Yuan Kal refused to grant hi'm permission to do so and he lived in Peking practically as a prisoner, dur ing Yuan Shih Kai's last months. No other man in China is as univer sally beloved as Li Yuan-hung. He has always enjoyed the reputation of being absolutely honest and patriotic. Many other leaders are more force ful. more energetic and have a better grasp of pubic affairs. But Li Yuan hung is the one man who enjoys the complete confidence of the Chinese peo ple. southerners as well as northern ers. Farmer Says Hudson Six Solves Many Problems "When we kept a horse and outfit," says a Dauphin county farmer wjio owns a Hudson Super-Six, "the first cost of which exceeded the cost of our car, the expense of maintenance of the horse outfit was more than a dollar a day right here on the farm. "The horse had to be fed three times a day. It had to be groomed and exercised every day whether we wanted to use it or not. Trips to the blacksmith were frequent. Expense was never-ending. Added to this was our sympathy for the poor horse in very hot and very cold weather. Thought of our own comfort finally led us to purchase a Hudson Super-Six. "Immediately our eyes were opened to the greater economy of the motor driven vehicle. It did not have to be exercised. It cost nothing when not in use. The upkeep was far less for a vastly greater amount of work than that of the horse. The car was always ready to go anywhere at any time and get us back home again regardless of distance at fine speed. Where formerly a 20-mile drive was a hardship for the horse and ourselves, our Super-Six makes easy work of 100 miles, or even 200 miles, in a day. And we ride in perfect comfort." f DAUPHIN FACTORY CLOSED Special to the Telegraph Dauphin, Pa., July 31. The Blough Manufacturing company has closed for ten days.

FREE INSTRUCTION FOR ADULT BLIND Miss Olivia Reichert in Charge of Distribution of "Moon" Books The Pennsylvania Home Teaching Society and Free Circulating Library for the Blind is the pioneer home teaching society in the United States and has arranged for a course of in struction in Dauphin county. The society was established in 1882 by the late Dr. William Moon, the inventor of the "Moon" embossed type for the blind. It sends teachers to visit and teach the blind in their homes and public institutions. Lessons in all types are given free of charge, em bossed books are loaned free of charge and free of postage both ways from the Society's Library, which is deposited in the department for the blind of the Free Library of Phila delphia. In 1915, the circulation of em bossed books was 27,876, in all types of embossed print, 18,928 of these being in the "Moon" type, which is peculiarly adapted to the needs of the adult blind, to whom the services of the teacher are given. Miss Olivia Reichert, one of the new teachers, is in Dauphin county.' and will remain until ail the adult blind have had an opportunity to learn to read. About two-thirds of the adult blind are generally found to be over fifty years of age. The age limit for schools for the blind is usually twenty-one years, and it is only through Home Teaching that the adult blind can be reached and taught. Many learn the "Moon" type in one or two lessons. By sending the names of any blind persons in Dauphin county to Miss Olivia Reichert, 151 S. 18th St., Har risburg, Pa., you will be giving them an opportunity to once more enjoy the pleasure of reading. The officers of the Pennsylvania Home Teaching Society and Free Circulating Library for the Blind are: L. Webster Fox, M. D„ LL. D., presi dent; Ellis A. Gimber, vice-president; John J.
