The store and dwelling of County
Treasurer James K. Beish, at Yicks
burg, Union county, were burned
Tuesday and the agricultural Imple
ment store of P. A. Baker was partly
destroyed. The Vlcksbuig post-oftice
was in Belsh's store, and the stamps
anh documents are in the safe, which
lies in the ruins. The loss on the build
ing and stock is (8,000, covered by In
surance, The fire Is supposed to have
been the work of an Incendiary.
The borough council of Huntingdon
at its last regular meeting again voted
to enforce the "curfew ordinance," and
directed thai the whistle at the electric

evening as a signal for all children
under the age of 12 years to lie oil' the
streets, unless accompanied bv parents.
The chief H police and all extra police
men were notified to see that the or
dinance is rigidly enforced.
All Hallowe'en is not faraway on the
calendar, and the festivities Ibis season
bid fair to shine far beyond those of re
cent years. For more than six centu
ries fun and superstition have held high
carnival among young and old alike on
the last nlghl in October, and the gen
eral use of apples on tliis. occasion un
doubtedly descends from the Romans'
feast at Pomom, the goddess of fruit
and seeds, who had the apple under
her special care and whose feast was
held on November 1.
The POST has employed a city expert
to get out neat Job printing. The finest

This statement can be proven both by

the office. The Post's prices are as
low and even lower for neat artistic
printing than you paid for your un
sightly job. Give us your order. We
make it a rule to send away every cus

Butter as n Laxative for Children.
H. Doerfler, in the "Muencbener
Medicinische Wochcnsehrift," discuss
es the use of butter in the constipation
of infants and children. Acting upon
the theory that thi torpidity of the In
testine in such cases is caused by exces
sive feeding, and is not a disease, he
uses the butter as a mechanical lax
ative. He names as the advantages
that children never refuse it, and that
pallid cheeks grow rosy under its use.
It has little effect after six years of age.
From one-half to one teasioonful is
given to a child up to three months of
uge, and when regular ltowel action Is
established, It is then used only every
second or third day. A child of five
months to a year should have one to
three tablespoonfuls per day. The butr
ter must be sweet and fresh, and it Is
Important that It Is not melted, since
this changes its character.-Jtyjular Sci

Class Sci Immage,
Last Thursday morning, October 11,
occurred the first class liyht of the year
t between the Freshmen and Sophomores
of Susquehanua University, OnThurs
day morning between two ami three
o'clock, fearing to take down the
Sophomore pennon by dnvliirht, the
"Freshtes" quietly and unceremonious
ly took down the fiug of red and blue
that had been wtvillg all day Wednes
day, from a telephone wire lieneath
which the students hatl to pa in go
ing to and fr the University build.
int;s. I,, pi,.,,.,. ,,f . n, .lM, (,lue
pennon, that same early morning, the
Freshmen floated their own ami also
placed another in the topofthe tree be
tween Gustavus Adolphus Hall and the
Institute building.
After n short consultation tlio "Sophs"
decided 1 h u i the peiiuaiil is'tweeii
the liuildint;s would have tocoiuedowii
luuuediately. The Freshmen, of course,
were on the scene of action; according
ly, after an opening skirmish bet ween
1 he 1 wo classes in w hieli the "Froshies"
were worsted, one of tl Sophs"
climbed the tree ami sawed off the
Branch on w hleh the coveted pennon
hung. The linili had scarcely struck
the ground till In. Hi classes made a
rush for the pennant, A stalwart Soph
omore grabbed II first; 11 confusing
ami fierce scramble ensued, and not
until two men were disabled was the
struggle ceased. The class nf'lClctiiiie
oil' victorious Willi tlio Freshmen pen
nant. The class of 'ul having been r luted in
the first fray pi Ised the "Sophs"
that they themselves would remove the
ot her pennant il nil four n'.
lok in the afternoon. Foul o'clock
arrived, but noshrns of removal wen
wen; consequently the "Sophs" eagei
for another battle assembled on the
scene ami hauled dow n the emblem,
while the class of 'ui fearing to engage
them, looked on with dismay. Thus
another trophy was tidded to the So-
phoiuore Hut. A Sl'l PENT,

Waal Water Works.
Mllheim's tow n council met in extra
session Monday of last week and pass
ed resolutions to submit at the regular
election in November the proposition
of increasing the borough's Indebted
ness 110,000 to be used for waterworks.
The question is not a new one in Mil
helmforat asj ial election on Mon
day, September 12, lsns, it was defeat
ed by BbOUt fifteen votes. It is the in
tention of the advocates of the water
system to bring the water from Phillips
creek, When a good supply of excellent
mountain water can lie procured, and
where a reservoir can be built at a very
low cost. Heretofore that town de
pended entirely on the Weill and cis
terns for their supply, which often wan
a source for contagion.
