DEGENERATIVE DISEASES
Timely Talks by Commissioner Dix-
on on Health and Hygiene.
Benjamin Franklin said, “Nine men
in ten are suicides.”
The indifference of individuals to
their continued personal welfare
which inspired this remark one hun-
dred and sixty-nine years ago applies
equally to-day. Conditions have
changed in many ways and some of
them are less beneficial for the indi-
vidual.
Carefully - accumulated statistics
show that there has in all probabili-
been a steady increase in Bright's
disease and the degenerative dis-
eases incidental to advancing age,
within the past few years. Certainly
the number of deaths from this cause
is sufficiently high to warrant the se-
rious consideration of every individ-
ual advancing toward middle life. Of
course everyone now-a-days -is famil
iar with thesdoctrine of fresh air, ex-
ercise and simplicity of diet, etc,
which makes up the creed of the san-
itarian.
Few are willing to go to the fancied
discomfort, of denying themselves
the pleasures of eating, drinking or
indolent ease: They are perfectly
aware to be sure that indulgence is
unwise. They have been warned by
other people’s experience and not im-
probably have been admonished by
their medical adviser as to the evil
effects of certain favorite indulgen-
ces. But the fact that a single grat-
ification of their weakness is uot like-
ly to be accompanied by any of the
forecasted ill effects seems to lead
the majority of people on regardless
of the ultimate accounting which Na-
ture is certain to demand. The way
of least resistance seems to be the
popular path.
Probably every individual will ad-
mit to himself that he’ is running’ a
risk and that the uitimate outcome
will probably prove sérious. Neverthe-
less continue he will and so there is
more than a modicum of truth in
what Poor Richard said.
Self denial and temperance may
seem Spartan virtues to the self in-
dulgent but they are worth cultiva-
ting if one would challenge Father
Time and his grim companion.
MORE HASTE LESS SPEED.
“More haste less speed” is a ven-
erable warning against misapplied
energy. The summer season gives ad-
ditional reason to consider the value
of rational well directed activity as
opposed to spurts of action.
The average city dweller regard-
less of years is apt to scurry about
as if life depended upon his catching
a particular train or trolley. Rush-
ing to and fro with small considera-
tion for those who impede his prog-
ress, he will risk life and limb to
cross a street thirty seconds sooner
and then gaze in a show window for
ten minutes,
All this is extremely wearing on .
the nervous system and physically
exhausting. It easily becomes a hab-
it and if continued leads to loss of
of deliberation usually insures more
thoughtful and effective action and is
better from the health standpoint.
To progress at moderate speed with
due consideration for other people's
“rights of the road” results. in bene-
fits of no small value. Your physical
machinery is far more likely to suc-
cessfully meet emergencies if it is
not continually running on high gear.
Then too there is much in our dai-
ly round he who runs may not read.
If we are to live rationally and think
broadly it is well to make one’s pro-
gress through life at a moderate
pace. Your scurrying busybody is
selfish even though unintentional. To
have an eye for other people’s de-
sires and ambitions and a considera-
tion for their ideals may help us to:
achieve our own.
To live peacefully and to live hap-
pily materially aid in maintaining
our physical health and vice versa.
Progress is not necessarily measured
by rapidity of action; consider the
squirrel in the revolving cage.

STORING A MILLION
TONS OF COAL
Anticipating a boom in business
next Winter, as well as a shortage of
labor in the Cambria County flelds, .
from which section hundreds of fore-
igners are leaving for Europe to
participate in the war, the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company several days
ago began the erection of a side track
at Eldorado leading to a parcel of
ground near the Meyers Brothers
greenhouses on which 1,000,000 tons
of coal will be dumped. The first con-
signment of coal for the storage
plant arrived on tae ground last
week. It is also understood that al
similar dumping ground will be pro-
vided at the Hollidaysburg classifi- |
cation yards.

family wash, Mrs. W. H. Traup, of
Somerset had a finger severed in the
cogs of the machine. On the day pre-
vious she buried ner husband, who
was killed while handling a Spring-
field rifle, the property of the N. G. P.
« The comptroller of the currency

held at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
George Peterson near
last Saturday. The officers of the as-
sociation are : President, Wm. J. Ep-

ical secretary, Elmer G. Peterson. At
the reunion, the forenoon was given
over to amusements and sports. The
afternoon was more formal and
some excellent addresses were given,
Ralph Galluci, an Italian, who had
resided in Somerset county, decided
to return to his native country and
fight for native land, which is now in-
volved in war. So selling his possess-
ions and gathering together all the
money that he had, he went as far
as Altoona, having $170 with him.
That evening he fell in with several
of his countrymen and they sat down
to a little game of cards, at the close:
of which the prospective soldier
found that his money was gone but
$25, but later the thief was caught
and identified.
Three young men were injured,

Mrs. Joseph Quinn, 37 Broadway,

ago one of our family was troubled
by severe pains in the small of the
back. It was hard to stoop over or to
do any lifting. One box of Doan’s
Kidney Pills, procured at Thomas’s
Drug Store was all that was needed
stooping of
to show him that they are a wonder-

A. H. Glenn, aged 40 years, a West- |
ern Maryland railroad conductor, of |
| Elkns, W. Va., was drowned late Sat- '
, urday afernoon in the Potomac at
Cumberland. Glenn, who could not
swim, was under the impression that
he could wade out in the water, not
knowing its depth. He sank imme-
diately but came up frantically call-
ing for help. A companfon was power-
less to aid the drowning man.
Because the train was late, Pay-
master Fred Vinton, of the Green-
wich Coal & Coke Co., did not wait
Saturday morning to deliver to the
| express office the pouch containing
money to be paid their miners that
day. Instead, he threw the pouch into
his automobile and started for the
| the mines. And because he was tak-
| ing the money instead of it being
| hauled up in the express wagon, the
carefully laid scheme of five bandits
to get the $10,000 was foiled. The
State police was called upon, three
of the robbers caught, and a soldier
was shot by them but not seriously.
A clever scheme to defraud the B.
& O. railroad was nipped in the bud
recently. A car of supposed muni-
tions of war consigned from the vi-
cinity of Clarksburg, W. Va., to the
war zone for the use of the Allies,

was mysteriously burned in the Cur-
tis Bay yards at Pgaltimore. A claim
for $17,218.87 was made. Clerks who
broke into the car, however, found
that the cargo was chiefly cement and

that the fire had been of incendiary
origin.

BRUSH YOUR TEETH,
AND ALSO YOUR TONGUE
Brush your teeth. By all means,
brush your teeth religiously and well
but for pity’s sake brush your tongue
too. Wield your brush backwards and
forward under and over, to the north,
the south, the east and the west;
scouring it with fervor for it is in
very truth a tiny forest of dense foli-
age wherein lurks the unseen enemy.
Every time you open your mouth a
whole regiment of little microbes
charge through the aperature and
take up quarters somewhere in the
confines of your chewing apparatus.
Seek them out and annihilate them
before sweet sleep enfolds you; for
fortified with an enormous capacity
for work; they rest not; nor do they
grow weary and you may awaken in
the morning to find whole companies
firmly intrenched in the very middle
of your tongue. If you can’t conceive
of your own particular organ being so
invaded take a micrscope and mirror
and get busy.

Death of English Officer in France Re-
calls Maleciction Pronounced
Centuries Ago.
as
The
Hon. Francis Geoffrey Pearson, Lord
Cowdray’s third son has recalled in
: England the violent end of other heirs
to Cowdray, the historic mansion near
Midhurst, and of the curse that was
proncunced in 1538, when Sir Ar-
thur Browne, father of the first Lord
Montagu, received Battle abbey as a
gift from Henry IIL
Sir Arthur destroyed the great
church at Battle and the cloisters, and
, converted the abbot’s lodging into a
I dwelling house. While he was holding
| a feast in the great hall one of the
| dispossessed monks entered and sol-
emnly cursed the family, declaring that
the Montagu line should “perish by
fire and water.” It was not till 1793,
two centuries later, that the curse was
fulfilled. In that year Cowdray house
was destroyed by fire, and a week
later the last Viscount Montagu was
drowned in the Rhine,
' After the death of the last Lord
Montagu the Cowdray property came
into the possession of the viscount’s
sister, Mrs. Stephen Poyntz, who soon
after receiving the estate lost her two
sons by drowning at Bagnor. ' On the
death of Mrs. Poyntz the property was
divided between her three daughters,
but was sold to the earl of Edgmont
in 1843. In 1909 it came into the
hands of Sir Weetman Pearson, and
when Sir Weetman, on being made a
peer in 1910, chose the title of Lord
Cowdray, an old Sussex woman spoke
of the curse, which, says a London let-
ter, is still remembered among the
Midhurst people.
PLAN LONG BRIDGE OVER SEA
British Engineers Contemplate Pro-
ject Successfully Carried
Through in America.
The project of connecting the island
nf Ceylon with the mainland of India
by a railroad bridge has been revived
again, though, like all such projects,
: It must wait till after the end of the
war. The distance is 22 miles, nu-
! merous rocky islets furnish natural
halting places, and the intervening wa-
‘ter is said to be shallow enough to
make pler-buflding easy for modern
engineers.
Even if this bridge is built, it will
‘not be the longest structure of the
sort in the world. The Florida East
Coast railway goes out to sea 46
, miles, from the tip of the Florida
peninsula to Key West. At one point,
It crosses nine miles of open water,

An Important Decision.
An important decision affecting the
banking law was made by the appel-
late division of the supreme court in
Wulff vs. Roseville Trust company, in
which the court vacates an attach-
ment in this state against the property
of a financial institution in New Jer
sey which has been closed by the
commissioner of banking and insur
ance. The court held that New Jer-
sey law relating to the closing of a
bank by the commissioner is similar
to the provisions of the New York
banking law and that the commission-
er “is deemed to have become vested
with the title to the assets of said in-
stitution as the trustee of an express
trust.” The court says that “in such
a case no creditor is permitted to ob-
tain a preference over others or to ob-
tain a lien upon the property of the
banking institution after the commis-
sioner has taken charge thereof.”
Sneezing as a Diagnosis.
A sneeze is responsible for the dis
covery by City Clerk Newton that he
had three broken ribs and a dislocated
shoulder, says a Hanford (Cal.) dis
patch to the Los Angeles Times. Sev-
sral days ago Newton and a number
of friends were returning from an
automobile ride when the machine
turned over. He was slightly injured,
but thought nothing of it.
Later he sneezed vigorously and
the pain increased; he sneezed again
and then hastened to see a doctor.
The physician, after an examination,
informed him that he had three bro
ken ribs and a shoulder out of joint
Since then Newton has been too ill to
work. His friends are now wondering
whether he would have felt the in
juries if he had not sneezed twice.
“Our Friends the Enemy.”
A zealous bobby captured a work:
ingman and haled him into court om
the charge of being an unregistered
German. The man swore he had a
Russian birth certificate, and pro-
duced it. Then said the magistrate
severely:
“But why then have you for ten
years been masquerading as a Ger-
man?”
“Because,” answered the man apolo-
getically, “when I came to England
ten years ago the feeling against Rus-
sia was so strong that I was obliged
to pass myself off for a German.” —
Molly Best in Harper's Weekly.
Rapid Changing.
“Well,” said the janitor of the city
hall in Dixmude, as he shoved another
bomb off the bed coverlets preparatory
to rising, “well, I wonder which flag
