One is that the boy was not murdered, that he wandered away and in delirium, tore off his clothes and died alone. An other is that the body is not that of Billy, and that the boy is still alive. The funeral had been set for this morning. Immediately alter the services the remains were to have been placed aboard an express train for shipment to Pittsburgh for burial.

VARNISH TREE OF CHINA Varnish is produced in China Horn a tree commonly spoken of as the varnish tree, but known botanicully as rhus verniciferu, which is found in abundance in the mountains of Hupeh, Kwe'.chew and Szei hwiin. The varnish is taken from the tree after it is about six inches in di ameter by tapping at intervals of from five to seven years, until the tree is fifty or- sixty years old. A erood-sized tree will yield from five to seven potinds of varnish. The natural color of the crude varnish im applied is black. It i considered the most Indestructible varnish known. n ne peculiarity is that it hardens only in a moist at mosphere. In China It is erroneously known amonft the foreign communities as "Ninsrpo varnish." probably because it first came Into contact with for eign trade there. Many persons are poisoned when thev come Into even atmospheric contact with this varnish, which fact, unfortunately, reduces its trade pos silvlltles enormously. As yet no method has been discovered whereby I this po'conouc quality can bo counteracted. —Detroit News. J HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH URGES SUPPORT OF SEAL SALES State Health Commissioner Calls For Aid in Tuber culosis Fight County health councils, dispen sary physicians, school medical in spectors, county medical directors and all other agencies coming under the State Department of Health to day were called upon by Dr. Ed ward Martin, State Commissioner of Health, to aid in the Christmas Seal Campaign. Colonel Martin declares a successful fight on the white plague is dependent upon "com plete, cordial and intelligent co-ordi nation" of State and civic agencies. Dr. Karl Scliaffie, director of the tuberculosis division of the State De partment of Health, has already sent a letter to the doctors under his di rection urging them to help the seal campaign. Dr. John D. McLean, Deputy Commissioner of Health, at the direction of Colonel Martin, is also sending a letter to doctors un der the State Department of Health ashing active aid in the seal sale. Colonel Martin enumerates several very practical methods that can be employed to combat tuberculosis. His statement follows: "The fight against tuberculosis is so large and is of such vital impor tance to the State that it can only be successfully accomplished by a complete, cordial and intelligent co ordination of both State and private agencies. The Christmas Seal Cam paign is the most potential means of bringing about this co-ordination. "Education as based on theory and practice. The theory regarding con sumption and the avoidance of it implies the maintenance of health at its highest standard, since thus the invasion of all bacterial diseases ia best combatted. A second point, of np less importance, is the avoid ance* of direct and intimate contact with the carriers of the tuberculosis germs and this is particularly im portant during infancy and child hood. "Thc> practical application lies in securing in each municipality of this State housing such as allows of full physical development and this is a problem for each municipality to take up itself, and one which it is perfectly competent to settle. This should be done and will be done by the local health committees. "The second practical point is pro viding proper nutrition; this also can be managed by the local health com mittee, but it implies—indeed re quires, a study of the environment of each child so placed that the com munity is not assured it has either adequate or proper food. "The third practical point is the listing of all cases of consumption and an assurance on the part of local health committees that these cases are not a menace to others. The sufferers can be so trained that the menace is reduced to a minimum as far as the public is concerned; they cannot be so trained that the menace is not an ever threatening one in so far as children living in tlie same house are concerned, if this housing be only just adequate, or, as is too often the case, entirely inadequate. Under such circum stances the community is deliberate ly breeding future consumptives. "Another practical point lies in the fact that those with enlarged tonsils, adenoids, and defective teeth have their resistance to infection (hereby lessened and are easy vic tims to any infection, the tubercu losis form among the rest, Hence it. again becomes incumbent on these local committees to see that every child thus handicapped for life re ceives treatment to render him more resistant during childhood, so that later in life he may be able to throw off these infections. "As a part of the practical work of the campaign there must be clinics and meetings especially de voted to the study of tuberculosis and to the carrying out of the plan previously outlined above; this through the medium of social work ers, of nurses, of doctors, and of co operation of the various civic agen cies." EXPERIENCED "Have you ever had any exper ence in handling high class ware?" asked a deuler in bric-a-brac of an applicant for work. "No, sir," was the reply, "but I think I can do it." "Suppose," said the dealer, "you accidentally broke a very valuable porcelain vase, what would you do?" "I should put it cnrefullv to gether,' replied the man, "and set it where a wealthy customer would be sure to knock It over ngn'n." "Consider yourself engaged." said the denier. "Now, tell me where you learned that trick of the trade." "A few years ago," answered the other, "T was one of the 'wealthy customer' class." —Pittsburgh Chron icle-Telegraph.

Americans are living in "a jazz age." the Rev. Dr. John Allan Blair told a congregation here at the centenial exercises in the Tabernacle Presbyterian Church. The clergyman intimated that the church was meeting with difficulties owing to the ragtime proclivities of the present generation, but, lie said, can use even a jazz age to work out the salvation of mankind. "Someone has said that Americans axe worshipers of the great god Jazz," Dr. Blair told hi 3 congregation, which included many University of Pennsylvania students. "It may be true that we are living in a jazz age. We are living in an age where every thing goes. We are impatient under restraints. There is a moral loose ness, a lack of steadiness. "In Bolshevism we have in extreme form the thing which affects all of us. "Jazz empitomizes the spirit of the age. Jazz is the most popular dance and jazz is the most popular music." With jazz in the atmosphere, and even the moral structure jazzing. Dr. Blair said, the question confronting the church was whether it should "quit or go on." The clergyman did not take a pessimistic view of the situation: on the contrary, he said the church has its greatest task be fore it.
