GEO. W. REMER & GO.
This Is what happened one day. Indeed, thta li what happens every day. Telephone booths, washrooms and
public conveniences In general are necessary attributes to our modern civilization.
In making use of them, however, we should be particularly careful to exercise reasonable precaution to
prevent running any risk of Infection from tuberculosis as might readily be possible under the conditions pic
tured above.
In the use of public telephones It is not necessary to place the mouth against the mouthpiece of the 'phone,
as one often sees people doing.
As a result of the lengthy campaign of education which has been carried on by Dr. Samuel Q. Dixon, Com
missioner of Health, the last General Assembly abolished by law the public drinking cup and the common
towel, two distinct menaces to the public health.
It is not uncommon to bear people say, "We used to get along without all these precautions." They forget,
among other things, that our modern civilization Is far more complex than formerly. The wonderful advances In
transportation facilities In particular have made It possible for communicable diseases to be spread broadcast
over the country If precautions are not observed.
A New County Atlas.
There has been compiled from
accurate data, a new and up-to-date
atlas of Fulton County. The
copy is now in the engraver's
hand, and it is hoped to have the
atlas ready for sale by March
20th. It has been nearly fifty
years since a complete map of
the county was made, and our
citizens are fortunate in being
able to get a new one in atlas
form.
The present generation has
very little knowledge of the geo
graphy of their own county, and
the coming book will give them
this much needed and very ' im
portant information. The price
of the atlas will be so small that
every family in the county can
easily afford to have one. A
more detailed description will be
given next week.
Abscess Causes Loss of Arm.
About two years ago Charles
Colledge, aged 26, living near
Mercersburg, suffered from an
abscess under the right arm. He
paid but little attention to the
sore and it appeared to heal; but
a week or two ago, it reappeared,
and became so painful that Mr.
College walked into Mercersburg
and consulted a physician. The
physician advised him to go at
once to a hospital. He took the
physician's advice and went to
Chambersburg hospital, where
he was told he had not come any
too soon, for there was great
danger in blood poison. The sur
geons amputated the arm at the
shoulder, and since the operation
he is improving and will soon be
able to return to his family.

Demolished Straw Stack.
The high winds . last Sunday
made a special drive on the big
straw stack at Mrs. Keziah John
ston's barn. The top being froz
en and heavy, it was hard to
get at," but, at last, the wind
got a hold, lifted the whole top
of straw and ice and plunged it
against the barn with a crash.
Then, a whirlwind just drew
about two wagon loads of straw
high into the air, carried it across
the farm, and dropped it into
the woods on the Sloan farm,
When the wind subsided, the
stack was entirely demolished.

Slightly Mixed.
After getting copy out, the ed
itor of a neighboring newspaper
went fishing and left the boys to
make up and run off' the paper.
The boys were awfully scared
when they pied a galley contain
ing a wedding write-up and a
public sale advertisement, but
they gathered up the type the
best they could, and this is the
way it read when the paper was
printed:
William Smith, the elder son of
Mr. and Mrs. Josiah Smith was
