ad suffered a sad bereavement. "1

"Indeed 1 have, sir." was the confl- j
int though fearful reply. \
"That's grand, sister," was the svm- j

Study at Tubercular School
THEY ENDURE ZERO WEATHER
Some of Them Are Cured, and All Are
Made Sturdier—Successful Experi
ment With Open Air Teach
ing at Hazleton.
j Hazleton. —This city has come for
j ward with the new idea in school
j work —a school for children afflicted
i with tuberculosis in the first stages—
j the real open-air school, where while
the children are at work, a stranger
j passing along and seeing them in their
| strange garb, might mistake them for
a band of Eskimos, just arrived from
the Arctic regions. Their garb is so
comfortable that they can endure the
worst sort of winter weather, and
would be fair competitors to the Eski
mos were they suddenly taken to the
frigid regions. In 1910 Hazleton
branclied out, through the glad hand
of annexation, and welcomed into the
city proper territory formerly embrac
ed by the Hazle township school dis
trict. This added 23 schools to the
city proper, and increased the instruc
tors' force to upward of 100 teachers.
| But after that 60 teachers had to look
| after 2200 children, and a new $50,000
I high school building took the place of
| the annexed district's old one,
and thus the latter was destined
jto become the real first air
school. As a rule tuberculosis is pre
valent among miners to a larger per
i cent, than among other industrial
| workers. This was on© reason why
| there was a need for the, local State
j Tuberculosis Dispensary in this city,
! in charge of Dr. William C. Gayley.
: Coming in contact with hundreds of
families during a year Dr. Gayley soon
■ saw the need of some kind of a school
; for a great number of children afflict
ied with this disease. For many
! months he gave the problem careful
! study, and when he finally arrived at
a plan he unfolded it to the school
authorities, and Superintendent David
I A. Harman was the first one to come
to his assistance, and then they were
reinforced by the Ladies' Auxiliary of
the Hazleton Tuberculosis Society, an
energetic brnnch of the United Chari
ties of the city.
What is the result, after this school 1
has about completed its second term,
with 37 pupils enrolled? Half a dozen
children have been cured of the dread
disease, which might soon have rap
ped away their lives. These are now
back in the regular schools in their !
districts and do'".g ?ood work. Others, i
weak and feeble when they entered,
have greatly changed in weight and ap
pearance and are stronger children,
physically and mentally.
Saving the Orchards.
llarrisburg.—Final instructions for
the commencement ot the spring ser
ies of demonstrations of methods of
destroying San Jose scale and other
fruit tree pests and of pruning trees
were given to 30 of the men who will
he in charge of this branch of the
State's practical horticultural work.
The men have been here all week for
instruction and will begin demonstra- !
♦ ions in 32 counties, the demonstra
tions continuing throughout the re
mainder of the month. Dr. H. A. Sur
face, State Zoologist, director of the
work, says that demonstrations will
be held in orchards placed at the dis
posal of the State as models, and that
in April orchards put under State su
pervision will be inspected.
Whitehead On Licenses.
Williamsport.—"lt is as much the j
duty of the court to grant a license |
for the sale of liquor, upon proper pe- j
tition ,as it is to grant a marriage li
cense, when the proper requirements j
of law have been complied with," said j
Judge Whitehead, in defining his posi- j
tion on the liquor question at his first j
session of License Court He made it I
clear, however, that the necessity for j
a leading requirement, and gave warn- I
a hotel with bar attached was to be j
ing that in his opinion, no more hotels j
are necessary in Williamsport, unless i
it should be a large modern hotel in !
the central part of the city.
Punishes Thieving Banker.
Pittsburgh.—lsadore Klein, former
foreign banker of Braddock, convicted
recently of embezzlement, was fined
$9500 in Criminal Court by Judge L. I.
Davis, beside an indeterminate sen
tence of not over three years in the
penitentiary. The fine is double the
amount embezzled from depositors,
mostly foreign mill workers. It is the
heaviest sentence in Criminal Court
in a long while. Klein pleaded guilty
to lt> additional counts.
Jail Board Up Seven Cents.
New Castle.—Judge William D. Por
ter has made an order increasing the
allowance of the Sheriff of Lawrence
county for boarding prisoners from 30
to 37 cents a day.
The Judge points out that a Sheriff
is not supposed to make anything on
boarding prisoners, but should bo al
lowed something for looking after
them. Allowing $5 a week for such
oversight, the cost of keeping Law
rence county's prisoners in January
was 37 cents, and Judge Portea 1 thinks
that is a fair sum.
MORE DEAD
IN COATESVILLE
Number of Fatalities in Typhoid
Epidemic is Twenty.
SAY COUNCIL IS RESPONSIBLE
Local Paper, Contending That It
Voices Public Opinion, Makes De
mand for Immediate Resignation
in a Body—Threats of Death.
(Special Harrisburg Correspondence.)
Harrisburg.—Following the occur
rence of three more deaths from the
typhoid epidemic, making a total of
20 fatalities traceable directly to the
pollution of the water supply system,
the resignation of the Borough Coun
cil in a body was demanded by the
Coatesville Record.
The article in the Record claims
to voice the sentiment of the citizens
of the stricken borough, and it scath
ingly arraigns the members of the
Council.
The editorial, demanding that the
members of the Council resign in a
body, is in part as follows:
"At noon today the awful toll from
typhoid stood at 20; of the more
than 200 persons ill with fever a doz
en were reported to be in a condition
J in which the scales of life and death
I were balancing. Practically every
I business house on Main street was
closed, while the town was burying
i its honored dead.
I"And all because some one had
I blundered.
"That Coatesville may rehabilitate
itself and come forth a clean, healthy
and prosperous town, against whose
[ public works and public improve
ments no shadow of suspicion can be
raised, some drastic action must be
taken.
"The State has laid the blame for
the typhoid epidemic directly at the
doors of the Council. Unless some
thing is done this same Council will
be in charge of improvements which,
j with the completion of a permanent
J water supply and a sewage disposal
I plant, will cost several hundred thou
; sand dollars.
| "Profiting by the lessons so dearly
I learned, burned into their brain by
! the hand of death, should this Coun
j oil take tip the work demanded by the
| State, build and manage these im
j provements with all the skill any
i group of men could possibly devise,
j the finger of doubt would still be
i pointed at them, because they had
been previously confronted with an
emergency and failed.
"When things have reached a con
dition that grief-stricken parents give
open expression to a wish to stand
up certain members of Council iu a
row and then shoot them down
through the heart, these Councilmen,
if they have any spark of humanity
left, should no longer desire to hold
office."
Beauty in Ice-Gorge Perils.
As a result of the continual flow cf
ice in tho Susquehanna River, a
' gorge, stretching from bank to bank,
extended from Duncan's Island, north
of McCall's Ferry, up to Wrightsville.
Two years ago, under similar condi
| tions, the ice crushed several build
ings along the York county shore and
flooded Safe Harbor. Over a great
extent of this enormous gorge the
crowding ice cakes have jammed solid
to the bottom, and a tremendous pres
sure of water will be required to car
ry the mass away. For many miles
the rugged ice presents a picture
nxore suggestive of the Arctic regions
suggestive of the Arctic regions.
Up to Ceiling Twenty Times.
Lebanon.—Samuel Brandt, of Rei
nohlsville, narrowly escaped death in
being whirled around a shafting at
the Lebanon Stove Works here.
Brandt's coat sleeve was caught, and
he was drawn into the whirling ma
chinery. He owes his escape from
instant death to the fact that he is
unusually small in stature, permitting
his body to pass between the shaft
and ceiling a score of times before !
the engine was slopped. On being
rescued from his perilous position it '
was found that his body had been I
stripped and he was suffering from |
severe internal injuries and several >
broken ribs.
Tourist in Agony on Car.
Shamokin. With blood oozing j
from a bullet wound in his thigh, and
almost dead from exhaustion, Charles |
Rocasky, a young man living here, j
was admitted to the local hospital.
He stated that he had been West, I
nnd, having no money, was stealing a j
ride on a freight train from Clearfield I
to this place, when somebody shot
him while he was on the top of a box
car. Enduring great agony and afraid I
to inform anybody of his condition en- ■
route for fear of being arrested for :
illegal car riding, he managed to
reach here, when he collapsed.
Noted Hotel Closed.
Harrisburg. The Lochiel Hotel, j
the headquarters of the late M. S. I
Quay during political conventions and j
the stopping place for Presidents and J
other notables who visited this city, j
served its last meal.
The hotel will be changed into a I
theatre and, while the upper and rear
portions of the old hostelry will be
used for sleeping rooms, the greater
part of the building will be utilized
for theatrical purposes. Mrs. E. V.

Father Now In Second Place.
She was a prim miss of thirteen
who stood before the rector of a well
known New York Episcopal church
. and looked him squarely In the eye.
; "Please repeat that fifth command
ment again," he said, for he was cate
chising her with regard to her knowl
edge of the Scriptures apropos of the
coming confirmations. "Honor thy
mother and thy father, that thy days
may be long In the land which the
thy Qod giveth thee," was the
response. "Honor thy mother and
; thy father," mused the rector. "Who
; taught you that?" "Mother," was the
response. "These are certainly suf
fragist days upon which we have fall
en," remarked the minister. "Father
used to come first."
Counterfeiter Gets Stiff 6er»tence.
■William Fink, a Brooklyn, N. Y., dealer
fn drugs, was sentenced by the New York
Court of Special Sessions, to Imprison
ment In the penitentiary at hard labor,
for four months. The charge was coun
terfeiting the trade-mark for Carter's Llt
! tie Liver Pills, In violation of the penal
law.
The Carter Medicine Company detected
the counterfeit before any quantity of the
•purlous goods had been placed upon the
Karket. In sentencing Fink, Judge Douel
Id special stress upon the Injury done to
the public when a remedy so well known
as Carter's Little Liver Pills Is counter
felted and put on tha market. He im
' posed the sentence not only ns the prop
er punishment of Fink himself, but In or
der to deter others from the commission
of Ilk* trauds In the future.

Shot With a Knife.
Years ago In a stock performance of j
a famous old melodrama, the villain, j
Charles Wolcott, suddenly discovered
that he bad left his revolver In the
dressing room. In much confusion, he
fumbled in his pocket and found a
penknife which, he figured, would do
just as well for the bloody deed. Imag- |
ine his consternation when, after j
plunging the blade Into the hero's j
breast, that player failed to change j
his lines and screamed at the top of j
his voice: "Heaven forgive you! I'm
shot."
Humorous Thrust.
"How—"
The savage chief held a glittering
spear near the captive missionary.
" —do you like this?"
His tone was not facetious, but the ;
captive was undismayed.
"Well, If you ask me—"
He glanced at the weapon, the pro- |
pinquity of which was not comforting, j
" —it goes against my stomach!"
Unfortunately, however, the enp- j
tlve was in a locality where there is
no market for humor, and the end
came soon.

FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY
Where the Winters Are Cold and the
Snows Deep.
Writing front the vicinity David
Harum made famous, a man says that
he was an habitual coffee drinker, and,
although he knew it was doing hlra
harm, was too obstinate to give it up,
till all at once he went to pieces with j
nervousness and insomnia, loss of ap
petite, weakness, and a generally
used-up feeling, which practically un- !
fitted him for his arduous occupation, i
and kept him on a couch at home
when his duty did not call him out.
"While in this condition Grape-
Nuts food was suggested to me, and I
began to use it. Although it was in
the middle of winter, and the ther
mometer was often below zero, almost
my entire living for about six weeks
of severe exposure was on Grape-Nuts
food with a little bread and butter and
a cup of hot water, till I was wise
enough to make Postuiu my table bev- |
erage.
"After the first two weeks I began \
to feel better and during the whole
winter I never lost a trip on my mail
route, frequently being on the road 1
7 or 8 hours at a time.
"The constant marvel to me was
how a person could do tho amount of
work and endure the fatigue and hard
ship as I did, on so small an amount
of food. But I found my new rations
so perfectly satisfactory that I have
continued them —using both Postum j
and Grape-Nuts at every meal, and
often they comprise my entire meal.
"All my nervousness, Irritability and
insomnia have disappeared aud healthy,
natural sleep has come back to ma.
But what has been perhaps the great
est surprise to me Is the fact that
with the benefit to my general health i
has come a remarkable improvement \
In my eye-sight.
"If a good appetite, good digestion,
good eye-sight, strong nerves and an i
active brain are to be desired, I can
say from my own experience, use
Grape-Nuts and Postum." Name given
