Onions in Danger.
Dr. H. A. Surface, the State's Zoolo
gist. has discovered that the onion
crop, along with some others, is in
danger of being damaged by a pest j
which flourishes because of the un- |
usual weather conditions prevailing in j
the State. Numerous reports have j
been received by Dr. Surface from j
farmers and truck gardeners that they j
are being annoyed for the first time j
in many years by an onion worm. The
methods of the worm are a puzzle to j
farmers many of whom did not know j
it was working until they saw their j
plants suddenly wilt and die. Dr. Sur
face says that the worm gets inside j
and bores around. It is the maggot
from the egg of an onion fly, which ;
has been rare thus far, and, once it
attacks a plant, there is no remedy.
The Zoologist says that a kerosene
spray should be used on the ground
around the onion bed when the small j
onions are set out after the "ouioD
snow."
Repairs of Highways.
Repair work on several of the high- !
ways in Perry county which have been j
taken over as State main highway j
routes will be started within the next ;
ten days by the force of men which j
Charles P. Walter, road superintend
ent for Dauphin and Perry counties, is I
organizing. It is probable that the j
first work will be done between Marys- j
ville and Duncannon, and then in the j
vicinity of Newport after which roads
near New Bloomtield will receive at- I
tention. Walter's corps is now work
ing on the repairs between Middle
town and Conewago and between
Rutherford and Hunimelstown. With
in a short time another force will be ,
put to work on the Lykens Valley j
roads. The Cumberland county york j
will be in charge of the new superin
tendent for that county, and will in- I
elude the road between Wormleys- j
burg and Marysville passing through
Enola.
Fined for Diseased Cattle.
Dr. C. J. Marshall, State Veterina
rian, said that the arrest and fining of
Aaron Schick, of Lancaster, on the
charge of shipping diseased cows from
Lancaster to Jersey City w r as an ex- |
ample of the manner in which the Uni- j
ted States government is co-operating
with the State Livestock Sanitary
Board in checking such actions on the
part of unscrupulous cattle dealers.
He expects more arrests to be made. I
Food Law Prosecutions.
Dairy and Food Commissioner Foust I
came home from Pittsburgh and is j
preparing some vigorous prosecutions
for failure to observe food laws in that
city.
Weights and Measures.
Lewistown borough officials have
made some inquiries of Chief Sweeney
of the State Bureau of Standards
about the methods of operating the
law governing weights and measures,
and it is possible that oflicials will be
named for the work. Thus far five
boroughs and ten cities have availed
themselves of the law.

SUPERVISOR FOR PRODUCTS
Speaker at Meeting of Pharmaceutical
Association Prophesied Death or
Ethical Pharmacy—Replaced
by Commercial Drug Store.
Buena Vista Springs.—The death
knell of the ethical pharmacy and its
replacement by the commercial drug
store was the announcement made by
Richard H. Lackey, of Philadelphia,
at the thirty-fifth annual meeting of
the Pennsylvania Pharmaceutical As
sociation here. In reviewing trade
conditions, Lackey said: "Our busi
ness has been revolutionized and is
noted for the necessity of putting in
side lines to compensate for the loss
of business partly due to dispensing
by physicians and in the keener com
petition arising from the desire to
maintain volume of sales. The trans
formation from the professional phar
\ macy to the commercial drug store
j means that the profits of the old time
! apothecary are a thing of the past,
j The solution, for us. is in the adoption
| of modern business methods and the
management ol' the store in a scien
i titic way."
| Equally disconcerting to the large
I number of pharmacists in attendance
I was the declaration by Dr. F. 10. Stew
j art, of Philadelphia, that the demand
I created by misleading advertising for
I worthless medicines was a menace to
| the public health. "The manufactur
| ers of such medicines," he declared.
| "have been using the physicians and
\ the pharmacists as catspaws to pull
i their chestnuts out of the fire. ' jring
; the last thirty years tens of tb usands
of new remedies have been utroduc
ed, not one-tenth of one < cent, of
: which have warranted ie claims
made for them. This mea a that thou
sands of useless exper nents have
been made in hospitals and private
j practice by physicians who have been
j misled." Dr. Stewart suggested that
1 there be a national board of control to
! censor the claims of manufacturers of
all new products and that sweeping
I changes be made in the existing pat
ent and trade mark laws.
Must Refund S9OO.
West Chester.—The County Com
| mlssioners, following an Inquiry into
charges of graft in the office of Sand
ers M. Collins, late clerk of the courts,
decided that Collins must refund S9OO,
i the amount in excess of wages that he
| is alleged to have taken credit for pay
! ing to Deputy Hilborn 1). Ingram and
i Miss Lelah M. King, clerk, the past
year. The commissioners held that
; they could not go back more than one
year. Collins, who had been summon
| ed to appear before the commission
| ers. seemed pleased at the compara-
J tively small amount that he has to re
| fund, and upon leaving for home re
: marked that "It is now all over, and I
will return to my home in London
| grove and devote my time to my fine
| crops of corn and potatoes, and during
] my idle moments will read my book
iof poems by Robert Burns. 1 thank
\ my friends for the good will expressed,
1 and to those whose 'conscience' trou-
I bles them I have nothing but pity."
| Collins was lately a candidate for the
j Republican nomination for State Rep
j resentatlve and was a member of the
j old Courthouse Glee Club.
Jealousy Causes Tragedy.
Lancaster. —After publicly declaring
that his wife had been too attentive
to another man, David Brackbill, fifty
j years old, a constable of Manheim,
j Who has been separated from his
spouse of the past two weeks, went to
! Ephrata where his wife and daughter
! have been residing and after shooting
j the older woman dead, turned the wea
i pon on himself, inflicting a wound
I from which he died two hours luter.
| There has been trouble in the Brack-
J bill family for several weeks and a
| short tiem ago Mrs. Brackbill left her
' husband.
Bullets As Pay for Debt.
Pottsville. —Testimony from the lips
j of a man now in his grave, was used
\ to convict Stephen Fabley, on trial
| here for the murder of George Owens
! at Lincoln on May 7, as Owens' ante
' mortem statement was admitted in
| court. In his statement Owens assert
i ed that Kabley owed him sti and he
| went to collect the money. Fabley
I shot him. Officers who arrested Fab
! ley testified that the latter, not satis
fied with the slow manner in which
Owens was dying, struggled to get
loose so that he could kill him moro
quickly.
Drowns Herself In Barrel.
Honesdale. —Under the close scru
tiny of Coroner Peterson, the supposed
murder of .Miss Sophie Herman, 55
years old, on the Lackner Farm, near
Equinunk, and tlie assumed forcing of
the body into a half-filled barrel, has
simmered down to a plain case of sui
cide. The contorted features and dis
arranged clothing, which seemed to
point to foul play, were evidences of
the woman's death struggle when she
became wedged in the barrel with her
head submerged in two feet of Aate;
at the bottom.
Didn't Know What It Was.
Senator Duncan IT. Fletcher was
condemning at a dinner in Jackson
ville an orange grower who had failed.
"The man failed," he said, "through
ignorance. He lays the blame on other
things, but his ignorance alone is at
fault. He is as ignorant of orange
farming as the tramp was of industry.
"You've heard of that tramp, per
haps? He wore on his face a sneer of
derision and Bcorn.
"'Work?'he said. 'Work? What is
It —an herb?'"
DOCTOR PRESCRIBES
CUTICURA REMEDIES
"I wish to let you know of a couple
of recent cures which I have made by
the use of the Cutlcura Remedies.
Last August, Mr. of this city
came to my office, troubled 'with &
severe skin eruption. At first 1 could
not understand the nature of the caße
until 1 had made a careful examina
tion. I finally traced it to his occu
pation, as he was a painter and deco
rator. It was dermatitis in its ■worst
form. It started with a slight erup
tion and would affect most parts of
his body—thighs, elbows, chest, back
and abdomen —and would terminate in
little pustules. The Itching and burn
ing was dreadful and he would almost
tear his skin apart, trying to get re
lief. I recommended all the various
treatments I could think of and he
spent about fifteen dollars on prescrip
tions but nothing seemed to help him.
"In the meantime my wife who was
continually suffering with a Blight
skin trouble and who had been trying
different prescriptions and methods
with my assistance, told me she was
going to get some of the Cuticura
Remedies and give them a trial. Her
skin would thicken, break and bleed,
especially on the fingers, •wrists and
arms. I could do nothing to relieve
her permanently. When she first ap
plied the warm baths of Cuticura Soap
and applications of Cuticura Ointment
she saw a decided improvement and in
a few days she was completely cured.
"I lost no time in recommending the
Cuticura Remedies to Mr. , and
this was two months ago. I told him
to wash with warm baths of the Cuti
cura Soap and to apply the Cuticura
Ointment generously. Believe me,
from the very first day's use of the
Cuticura Remedies he was greatly
relieved and today he is completely
cured through their use. I have great
faith in the Cuticura Remedies and
shall always have a good word for
them' now that I am convinced of their
wonderful merits." (Signed) B. L.
Whitehead, M. D., 108 Dartmouth St.,
Boston, Mass., July 22. 1910. Although
Cuticura Soap and Ointment are sold
by druggists and dealers everywhere,
a sample of each, with 32-page book,
will be mailed free on application to

a Bible to the very man who had re
fused to purchase the day before. "1
