On Monday morning she was taken to Chambersburg, and on Tuesday morning she was placed upon the operating table.

As is known to most readers of the News, the State has set apart a fund for needy widows who are trying to bring up their children in their own home. A communication from the State Supervisor of the Mothers' As sistance Fund, states that the sum of $585 has been apportion ed to the widowed families of this county. But the state acts upon the principle that it helps only those who help themselves, and if Fulton County wants this $385 the county must put up a like sum. In this case, the coun ty is represented by the County Commissioners. If an organiza tion be effected, and the Com missioners make the appropria tion, the widowed families of this county would get the benefit of $1170. This, however, must be done before the last day of May, otherwise, the State will take it for granted that Fulton does not need the money, and the State will give it to the other counties that comply with the conditions. Thirty-one counties of Pennsylvania have accepted the conditions of the law, and are receiving the aid, among which are our neighborsFranklin, Adams, Blair, and other nearby counties.

Are you one of the many per sons who, without being really ill, are never quite well? Do you grow tired very easily? Is your sleep often broken and your di gestion imperfect? When you give your hand to a friend does he sometimes say, "Oh, how cold your hand is"? Do you constantly wonder why your skin and hair do not seem to be in a perfectly healthy and vigorous condition?, Of course there are many pos sible causes for all these things, but before you v make up your mind that you are a pre-destined semi-invalid ask yourself one question: Do you breathe? You must certainly breathe enough to keep yourself going, because there you are; but what a pity it is, that when nature has given you a good set of lungs, and all the oxygen you need, you should not use a Jittle more of it, and see whether the physical draw backs that are so annoying do not disappear. We may all econ omize somewhat, but we ought not to begin with oxygen, when it is a free gift ours for the taking. The trouble is that we are too indolent We read a paper about proper breathing, or we listen to a lecture on the subject and it all sounds so simple and so easy that we determine at once to breathe deep and earn the deep breather's reward. All that day we breathe, and that night we even do some of the suggested exercises to ex pand our lungs; the next day or the dav after we forget the exer cises, habit grips her slave again, and we go back to live a life of self-imposed starvation in the midst of plenty. If shallow breathers would only give their lungs a fair chance to show what they can do, they would find the gains not only physical, but moral and mental. Much dull-mindedness and irrita bility is caused by the poison that poor breathers accumulate in their systems poisons that they could literally blow away by deep slow breathing. Do you feel de pressed and blue for no particu lar reason? Does the house "get on your nerves?" Then go out and breathe fresh life into your self in the open. If that is im possible at the moment, stand in an open window and do your breathing exercises for five min utes only. You will find the world a different place and your self a different person.
