Governor Reticent as Palmer
Visits Him Over the
Week End
Chester dispatches to the Phila
delphia Inquirer say that while Gov
ernor William C. Sproul continued
to be reticent when the subject of
the presidency of the United States
was broached to him, all his friends
here expect the Governor's name to
go before the next Republican Na
tional Convention.
The Philadelphia Press says: "Two
friendly rivals of the United States
Presidency, A. Mitchell Palmer,
Democrat, and Governor William C.
Sproul, Republican, arrived to-day
at Mr. Sproul's country home near
Chester. Mr. Palmer is under the
care of a physician and will spend
a few days here recuperating. 'When
'Mitch' leaves here to go to Atlan
tic City next week to get a breath
of fresh air, I will go to Hot Springs
to get a rest,' said Governor Sproul.
"The chances of both men winning
the Presidential nomination of theii
respective parties loomed brighter
this week than any preceding week.
Palmer feels that President Wilson'?
proclamation vesting upon him th<
executive powers formerly held b>
Herbert C. Hoover, clinches a greatei
grip on the nomination. In tlu
meantime Governor Sproul received
greater encouragement this week.
Appeals from political chieftain?
throughout the county have reached
him. The Governor this week re
ceived a batch of telegrams and let
ters representing virtually every sec
tion of the country. Some letter:
urge him' in the sincerest terms to
become an out and out candidate.
Governor Sproul let it be known to
day that he is highly appreciative
of the many requests he is receiv
ing and is weighing all of them with
due consideration. Mr. Sproul would
not commit himself as to whether
he and Mr. Tuft discussed the sub
ject of one or both of their names
going before the convention."
The Chester Times, an afternoon
daily, of which Governor Sproul Is
president, broke its silence Saturday
on the coming 1920 campaign. The
Times commented on the prospect of
Governor Sproul being a candidate
of the Republican party.
Sadler and Bond
Issue to Front
Scranton newspapers say there
was reference to possibility of Lewis
S. Sadler, State Highway Commis
sioner, as a candidate for Governor
of Pennsylvania to succeed Governor
Sproul was launched hero at a ban
quet held by the Lackawanna Motor
Club, and at which Mr. Sadler was
one of the speakers.
A dispatch says: "The first sug
gestion of his candidacy came in the
address of State Senator E. E. Jones,
of Susquehanna county, who said
Mr. Sadler would be elected on a
platform of J 100,000,000 for State
highways. Col. L. A. Waters, former
Lieutenant Governor of this State,
joined in Mr. Jones' suggestion, at
the same time saying Pennsylvania
just now has the best Highway
Commissioner in this country."
Call in a Doctor,
Says Colonel Martin
Col. Edward .uartin, the State
Commissioner of Health, is com
mencing to get right after the peo
ple because of the increase of diph
theria in Pennsylvania and to ex
press his ideas rather forcitVy.
"Deaths that have occurred from
diphtheria are due in most instances
to neglect," says he.
The Commissioner of Health is
instructing his county medical di
rectors to arrange to appear before
county medical societies and present
the plea asking for co-operation of
physicians. Sixty per cent of diph
theria occurs in children of school
age; therefore, about 40 per cent of
all diphtheria cases do not come un
der the observation of school physi
cians, hence the co-operation of pri
vate physicians is essential.
The general public is urged to call
in a physician whenever a person in
a household is taken ill with a sore
throat or with a discharging nose or
symptoms of croup. Deaths that
have occurred from diphtheria are
due in most instances to neglect on
the part of parents. The preva
lence of diphtheria would be enor
mously reduced if every one exposed

Dermatologist Gives
Complexion Secret
"The great secret of keeping the
face young is to keep off the dead
cuticle," says Dr. J. Mortimer Mitch
ell. "It Is well known that the sur
face skin is constantly dying, fall
ing off in imperceptible- particles, ex
cept in some diseased conditions, when
the same appear like dandruff. But
the particles do not all drop off im
mediately they die, being held for a
while by the live skin.
"To have the dermatological sur
geon peel off the entire outer skin
at one time is a painful and expensive
operation. The same result is obtained
by applying ordinary mercolized
wax, as you would cold cream, allow
ing this to remain on over night then
taking it off with warm water. One
ounce usually suffices. The process
is both painless and Incxpensiver-Thc
wax, which is procurable at your
drug store, hastens the natural shed
ding process. It gradually absorbs
the dtad and half-dead akin, reveal
ing the new, healthy, youthful-look
ing skin underneath."

to the disease were given an injec
tion of antitoxin.
There must be a rigid quarantine
of all cuses and all those who have
been directly in contact with per
sons ill of the disease, says Col. Mar
tin. Persons who have been exposed
to diphtheria must be given im
munizing doses of antitoxin or else be
held under observation quarantine.
There must be a wider distribution
of the State antitoxin so that physi
cians practicing in rural districts may
more readily secure it.
In the control of diphteria in the
schools It is proposed, upon the ap
pearance of a case of diphtheria in
a school room, to issue a notice to
the teacher and pupils that im
munizing doses of antitoxin will he
administered free of charge to each
pupil upon consent of the parent or
guardian. Pupils who fail to furnish
written consent for such administra
tion will be excluded from school
and placed under immediate obser
vation quarantine. A certificate
from a private physician certifying
that an immunizing dose of diph
theria antitoxin has been adminis
tered will be accepted in lieu of the
immunization offered by the health
authorities. The usual disinfection
of the school room will be carried
out but otherwise it is not intended
lo ijiterrupt the school sessions be
yond the time required for the dis
infection.
Approxinfately one-third of all
the cases of diphtheria occur in
hildren under school age. As a re
mit of this the school physician will
tot meet these cases unless he hap
pens also to be the family physician.
I'he department is appealing to all
private physicians to report their
•ases instantly, to isolate them
iromptly and have quarantine estab
ished immediately.

as far as receipts go will close with |
this week and it is estimated that
the receipts will be about $50,000,-

received from the sale of the State
road bond issue's first installment.
The revenue thus far have gone close
to $4 7,000,000 with a number of big
settlements scheduled to be made
during the week. The total revenue
last year was approximately $44,-
000,000. During October the receipts
of the Treasury were $5,061,422,
which Auditor General Charles A.
Snyder hopes to exceed this month.

State officials, who have been
endeavoring to work out some plan
for the control of sales of stocks j
and bonds of oil and other compa- ,
nies located in other states and
which have been having a great
vogue in Pennsylvania because of
recent developments, are of the ,
opinion that, the act of 1907 covers i
regulation. Under this act certain j
registrations are required with the ,
State Commissioner of Banking and
inquirers have been sent copies of j
the act by the State and other de- |
partments which have been asked J
as to what Pennsylvania statutes
provide in such matters. Drafting
of a new "Blue Sky' law to meet con- >
ditions coming after the war is being j
considered at the Capitol.
State Highway contractors arc'
running a race with King Winter in
a score of counties of the State. As
far as possible, the Highway De- ,
partment has urged contractors to
keep their work going until snow be
gins to fly or hard freezing weather
comes, and in the southern counties
things have been favorable for work
rather more than hoped. The State
has over 200 contracts in force for
road improvements and if men could
be obtained by contractors the year
would be the most remarkable In
State road building history.
Pennsylvania's new National
Guard is not going to be short on

has Already over 3,500 such rifles in
the hands of its Reserve Militia and
arrangements for quick delivery of
thousands more have been per
fected.
The tragic illness of Dr. Thomas
E. Flnegan occurring at the out
set of the State Educational
Congress which lie had intended
to be the start of an exten
sive movement for the improve
ment of the schools of Pennsylvania,
will retard working out of ideas de
veloped at the conference. It was
the hope of Dr. Finegan to have
prepared for submission to Governor
William C. Sproul when he returns
to Harrisburg from his vacation at
Hot Springs a digest of the thought
of the educators of the State in re
gard to changes, notably in rurai
education in xvhich he had special
ized in New York state and which
he had been studying since coming
to Pennsylvania. Dr. Finegan for
weeks has been preparing a dotinite
plan for practical Americanization
in this State, having made studies of
the diverse elements in the industrial
population of the Commonwealth
which he had already discussed with
the Governor and designed to be one
of the flrst steps to be taken next
year. It was the work for Ameri
canization in New York state that j
attracted National attention to Dr.
Finegan, he having originated the
system of zone enumeration and
building up of a plan adapted to
each district. The conclusions of
the congress are now being collected
by W. D. Lewis, the county super- ;
intendent in charge' of the meetings.
