Gen'l Mauairer TIE WHITE PLAGUE CAUSED MANY DEATHS Seven diseases that are actually pre ventable were responsible for 20,987 deaths in Pennsylvania during the year 1906, according to the records of the State department of health's bureau of vital statistics. As there were souie 115,000 deaths exclusive of still births iu the State during that period, the records show tiiat over one sixth of the total were from diseases that are known to be preventable. Tuberculosis heads the list with 10,- 632 victims. There were 4.039 deaths from typhoid fever, 2,484 from diph theria, 1,638 from whooping cough, 1,583 from measles, 525 from scarlet fever, and 85 from malarial fever. "When we consider," said State Health Commissioner Dixon Satur day, "that during the oue year 1906 our State lost 10,632 lives from tuber culosis. it will be seeu how great a boon the legislators aud our states manlike governor have rendered hum anity iu grautiug the splendid ap propriation totalling $1,000,000 to the department of health for its fight against the ' iVhite Plague.' "Not a single county in t!ie State but what had its death roll from ty phoid during the past year, and ttie total of 4,039 is appalliug. The depart ment's statistics show that the great est number of deaths from typhoid oc curred between the ages of 20 and 40. "Mothers of children are apt to treat measles and whooping cough too light ly, forgetting that these diseases often times appear iu epidemics of au ag gravated type of the disease aud are very often fatal,as the statistics show, for the deaths iu Pennsylvania from measles and whooping cough during 1906 both exceeded bv three times the deaths from scarlet fever. In the year 1906 the records of the department show that 2,336 people in Pennsylvania lost their lives by rail way accidents, there were 870 suicides and 351 homicides. "Cholerainfautuiu claimed its usual harvest Duriug the hot months of the year, 8 901 deaths occurred from this cause in children under two years of age, a striking illustration of the necessity for more thought iu the hygieuo and feeding of infants '' ' A Twentieth Century Necessity A good fountain peu is a twentieth century necessity.

Cum miags, employed in a paper mill at Haven last fall she wrote her name and address on one of the large rolls of paper as it was reeled off. The roll was shipped to Brooklyn wher« it fell into possession of Andre ff J. Pruey, foreman of the Mayer press. Many weeks elapsed before he reach ed that part of the paper containing the scribble. When he did so in the •tame spirit of fun that had prompted Mi»s CnuMiiiii; but who felt the heat a good deal. Fat men, usually the first to suffer i from the heat, were seen collirless, with big fan* in their hands searching for comfort, while lean men looked as I though they had just come from out n , bake oven. Everybody sweltered, and the soda fountains did the biggest business of the season. The straw hat man, for once, took that lengthy sorrowful smile from his lace, and got busy telling 'em "That's just your fit," or "Yes, that straw hat is very becoming to your bov." And there you are, those who are kicking for the warm weath er have it and have it for keeps, but we're all glad of it. Who wouldn't be? It means thousands of dollars to the : business meu and the farmers, and, well, it's a poor soldier who cannot stand a little of the heat. W. R.

GDI CROP IS MUCH AFFECTED General conditions of the weather this spring are making matters very bad for farmers and gardeners. Near ly every crop will suffer from the cool ness that has prevailed in this section with possibly the exception of the rye, potato, pea and several smaller garden products. The lack of sunshine aud the prevalence of sufficient mois ture has caused most of the lorn to rot before sprouting and as a result many farmers have been obliged to replant their entire crop. Wheat is consider ably shorter than usual, although a bright remaining season may render the product fairly good. Potatoes are growing well, but the prolific growth of all sorts of weeds is making the work of the farm aud garden unusual ly cumbersome. CORN CROP SUFFERS MOST. The corn crop is the principal suffer er from the condition of the weather. Only in a few fiolds where the slope of the land and the condition of the ground have caused the water to drain off will the original seed produce a crop. A late fall is very necessary if i this section is to produce even a fair crop of corn. The second planting will , not get a start until time for the first j crop to have reached a height of six | inches or more. The usual time for planting corn is between May 10 aud 1 20. This season only the corn planted early in June will amount to any thing. An advance in the price of this product this fall may therefore be 1 expected. Farmers are complaining of weather conditions not only be- j cause of their corn crops, but also of ! their wheat, barley, oats, hay aud garden products WEED CROP PROLIFIC. Nature provides that all plants aud foilage, classed by botanists as species of the weed family, grow abundantly no matter what the conditions of the weather are. The crops this season are being crowded out by the weeds ex cept where the farmers and gardeners are working diligently to keep tlieni down. Especially the potato crop is suffering from weeds and constant care is necessary. Even wheat and similar products are affected to some ! extent. Wheat is from six to twelve j inches high at present. It should be I at least three feet to correspond to its < height at this time on previous sea sons. Frank J. Cheney makes oath that he is senior partner of the firm of F. J.

The bam was partly filled with hay. corn aud oats, aud the loss will be fully $3,000, with but little insur ance. A gray horse was also burned. The other live stock was successfully gotteu out. The farm is occupied by O. C. Hess and the family were sitting at dinner, when, looking out of 11 JO window, Mr. Hess noticed smoke issuing from if. He quickly spread the alarm and the neighbors responded at once. Every thing possible was done to save the structure, but it was soon seen that it was beyond control, and they devoted their time to saving the live stock, aud tin- surrounding buildings. A pair of mules, a pair of horses,all the cows aud hog?-, as well as the chickens were saved. A number of the wagons bjrned an i several hundred dollars worth of farm iiu piemen tsSvere destroyed. The chicken - en. corn crib, spring house, aml wagon shed were burned despite the effort- of the neighbors. Frank and Freil Ikeler.the executors , of the estate,were informed of the fire soon after :r slatted :uid went at once Ito the scene of the blaze.

MANY THOUSANDS OF DOLLAME LOST Business men are at a loss of thou sands of dollars as a result of the un usually cold weather being doled out to humans this summer. At first glanoe this may seem an exaggeration and as superficial observation is not convincing a few solid facts may tend to show our readers the truth of the statement. Clothing dealers, are, perhaps, the hardest hit by the inclemency of the weather. Anticipating a good sum- ; mer season, they stocked their stores with the habiliments for torrid at mospheric conditions, light colored, ; light weight suits, straw hats and many other things too numerous to mention but which, nevertheless, are essential to the enjoyment of a warm i day. And now, to use a street expres- ■ sion, "where are they at?" Some clothiers, in speaking to a reporter, < said they sold as high as three straw i hats this summer; others mournfully i declared that their stock is not notice ably depleted. As for light suits — well, the handlers of clothing simply refused to talk about them. This, then, is the situation. Even i though the weather does "open up" i in the near future—and from present indications it isn't likely to do so—the clothing dealeff will not be able to seli half of their stock. What they do : dispose of will iu all probability have togo at a sacrifice.Next year the goods ; on Hand will iu the natural order of , things at present, be "out of date." i Selling under these circumstances will be an exceedingly difficult task. The clothing men are, therefore, up against a proposition that rivals in toughnss a choice sirloin steak. They are going to lose money, and they re alize it. And as they see in prospec tive dollars with wings attached there to fiying, far from their grasp, they ! have just reason to rail against Old Sol, Boreas aud everything in general, j Ice cream and soda water dealers, j too, experience difficulty iu disposing j of their •' made under the provisions of the new pure food law concoctions." j Pretty maidens in peek-a-boos and j lingerie peculiar to the summer, are at a premium this year. Instead of wearing warm weather clothes they j sally forth from the parental domicile arttired in the garb of winter and thus ; clothed they shrink from the cool, re- j freshing, invigorating palace of the i god of summer drinks. Other lines of business suffer from j the wretched weather, but not in pro- f portion to the ones just mentioned, j Aud while we, who are uot clothiers, not ice cream dealers, find fauP with | the existing conditions, we should re member that we haven't much cause ; to complain and should derive consola tion therefrom.

Duo member of the post de ' clared that his wife as soon as she road 1 ] of the governor's veto burned Ins pic-' ; ture, aud he, a staunch Republican, t sanctioned her action.

DANVILLE SPARED ! JMBTO AX Governor Stuart on Saturday com pleted his work on the enormous mass i of appropriation bills left in his hand i by the legislature, and, after having 1 oat the 171,500,000 appropriated by the i lawmakers down to $52,000,000, so as to oome within the estimated revenue < for the next two years, he laid aside i the veto ax, looked np his desk and left for Philadelphia. I As was anticipated Oovernor Stuart | allowed the appropriation for the Dan- I ville hospital for the insane togo through intact, and the $429,300 set i aside by the legislature for the local i institution is now available, and will ; likely be put to immediate use. In wielding the terrible ax the gov- ] ernor hewed tremendously but with care. From the first to the last ho : withheld the blows from the children of the Commonwealth. The $15,000,- 000 appropriated was allowed in full, exceeding by $4,000,000 any school ap propriation ever allowed before. i $5,000,000 are cut from the sum ap propriated for good roads, but $1,000,- 000 is left, and this, added to the $3,- j i 000,000 already available, makes $4,- 000,000 that can be used for this pur- 1 pose during the next two years. The State and semi-State institu- j : tions saved their appropriations al- | i most intact, but the governor made a j level and almost pro rata cut in the ' i appropriations for private hospitals. | i Just as he refrained from cutting the appropriations for the benefit of the children of the State, so the governor ; 1 withheld his hand from the bills de- ; : singed for the care and aid of the helpless.

The provisions of tUo law are extended to incorporate boroughs. The construction of gas aud water lines along the roads is prohibited ex cept under regulations made by the department.
