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 '' '

Romance in Writing Her Name.
When pretty Miss Bertha E. 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;<s,he wrote her a letter,
telling of his find.
Correspondence followed; the pair
met at Miss Camming*' home at Lock
Havon at Christmas time: it was a
case of love at sight, and yesterday
they were married at the home of the
bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. John
Camming*, of Lock Haven.

Children's Day Service.
The annual Children's day service
was held Sunday evening at the
Mooresburg M. E. church. A lar»e
congregation heard the carefully pre
pared program. The church was
beautifully decorated for the occasion.
A special feature of the event was the
singing, the accompaniment being fur
nishod by Miss Edna L. Stall 1. The
collection amounted to over four dol
lars.
! SEVEN YEARS
IMMIGRATION
la 1905, 1,036,499 immigrants were
admitted to the Uuited States, and
1906 surpassed this with 1,100,785. The
record up to June of this year exceeds
the first half of 1906 by many thou
sands. In all, since Jane 30, 1900, 6,-
000,000 Europeans have come to our
shores. Less than five percent, of this
number have reached or passed the age
of 45, while the ratio of men and boys
over women and girls, is two to one.
The illiteracy of the new comers is 28
per ceut. or four times that of Ameri
can. The United States was made
richer by some #25,000,000 brought by
the immigrants. There were debarred
during the year 12,432 aliens,of whom
2,49 d belonged to the Hebrew race, 2,-
121 to the Italian, 1,000 to the Polish
and 1,867 to the German.
Of great importance is the destina
tion of these new Americans. More
j than one-third of the entire number
•stated that they intended to stay in
j the State of New York, while one
sixth of them asserted that they were
1 going to Pennsylvania. Illinois secur
ed one-twelfth, Massachusetts about
an equal number and one-twentieth
were en route to Now Jersey. It will i
be noted that the drift is to the rnauu- j
factuiiug ceutres, whore an income is
a certainty the year round, and that
the farming districts do not seem to '
be popular with the new comers, al-
I though a great number of Italians are 1
going to the South, and are being eu
, couraged to do so.
Steamship companies centering in \
New York brought 880,036 of the iui- \
: migrants; 62,229 entered Boston, 54,- j
061 came through Baltimore, 23,186
were brought into Philadelphia, and
the southern ports of Galveston and j
New Orleans received 6,201 and 2,051,
respectively.
The figures of the countries furnish- i
ing the largest quotas are Austria, 1
111,598; Hungary, 153,540; Italy, 273,-
120; Russia 215,665; the United King
dom, 110,000 and Germany, 37,564, the
figures being for the fiscal year end
ing June 30, 1906. Far Australia fur
nished us 1,682 immigrants; Japan,
13,835; British North America, 5,063;
Greece, 19,489; Norway, 21,730; Swed
en, 23,310
The new immigrant law,which goes
into effect July 1. contains important
restrictions which will enable the im
migrant officials to debar imbeciles,
weak-minded and other undesirable
clashes with greater effectiveness than
in the past. It also contains a provi
sion preventing the eutrace of chil
dren under 14 years of age unless ac
companied by, or plainly intended for
the parent or guardian.

" Relief from the pains and actios of
a bad back is always welcome to
every backache sufferer; but to cure
a lame, weak or aching back is what's
wanted. Cure it so it will stay cured.
It can be done. Here's the strongest
evidence to prove it:
Thomas Lewis, retired, of 615 Mill
| St., says:"l caii only reiterate my
former statement made iu 1896 about
Doau's Kidney Pills. They cured me ,
; eight years ago and the euro then
made has been lasting and 1 have had
no return of my old trouble. Before '
1 using them I was troubled with back j
' ache I used everything recommended !
but got no relief. The lameness over
the kidneys and the terrible aching
continued in spite of everything that
I did and there seemed to be no relief
for me. I learned about Doau's Kidney
! Pills and read the statements made by
people who had used them anil oon
j eluded to try them. Thev not only re
! moved the lameuess and backache but [
they benefitted my health in general.
; They also relieved the headaches to
1 which I had beeii subject for a con
siderable length of time. I can rerom
s mend Doan's Kidney Pills as a reli
able backach and kidney cure."

I How Do You Like This Weather.
1 "Is it hot enough for yon?" was the
| expression the wise ones put to their
j friends all yesterday. "Well I guess
it is, it's blanked hot," was the gen-1
orally the reply, as one sweltering
| pedestrian greeted the other about the
1 streets. It was surely the hottest day
in the year and there wasn't a soul,
> 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. Ward, of Dyersburg, Tenn.,
writes: "This is to certify that I have

en, without a doubt,to be a thorough,

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.

Barn at Almedla Was Burned.
Fire, of unknown origin, destroyed
the big barn on the Ikeler estate farm
at Aimedii shortly after noon Mon
day. 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.

soon after :r slatted :uid went at once

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.

Threw Stuart's Picture in Fire.
Governor Stuart's ears must surely
have burned Friday evening when the
first meeting of Col. Eutpost.No. 250. j
G. A. li . of Bloomsburg, was held
following the governor's action in
vetoing the soldiers' pension bill. The
governor's action was bitterly de- j
nounced and several of the Republican
members of the post declared that they
would never again vote the Republi
can ticket by reason of the governor's
action. 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.
The following resolution iu which
the position of Eut post is clearly de- j
fined was unanimously passed at Fri- 112
day evening's meeting:
Whereas, Governor Stuart has seou I
fit to veto the bill offered by Senator j
i Cochran and passed by both branches !
| of our legislature almost unanimous-1
ly. giving to Pennsylvania veterans a !
' State pension,
Resolved,that this post hereby offers
protest against the governor's action, !
aud do uot consider the reasons given
i for his veto as valid.
| Resolved, that although the G. A. j
, R. is not a political /organization they j
cannot help but remember that when
they asked for bread they were given

| 40 years since they laid down their

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.

commended for babies and children,

Burglar Liked Raisin Pie.
A stealthy robber paid a visit to j
McClellan Diehl's store at Washing- \
touville Saturday night,and after ran
sacking the cellar pinched one raisin ;
pie, which he immediately sent down ,
the road that all good raisin pies go. ]
As near as Mr. Diehl can determine ,
the theft was perpetrated between 10 j
and 12 o'clock Saturday night, while ■
the proprietor was still in the store.
Nearly a box of burnt matches was
distributed about the cellar Sunday 1
morning and all the other contents
were untouched. In the cellar were
the choice edibles with which Mr.
Diehl's larder is always well stocked.

Trie State's New Highway Bill.
The Roberts highway departmen
bill, which has been signed by the gov
ernor, is designed to reorganize the
department so that it will have a reg
ular sufficient force to cope with the
increased work because of the demand
for new roads all over the State.
Most of the men provided for have
been employed out of the various funds
in the department and there will be
very few persons added.
The general amendments to the bill
are as follows: The highway commis
sioner is given full authority to de
termine the kinds of roads to be built,
thus removing the friction between
the department and the county com
missioners. 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. Monuments are to be
erected bearing the words State High
way and the year aud date. The com
missioner is given authority to plant
shade trees along all State highways.
The expenditure is to be included in
the cost of the road. The trees are to
remain the property of the State.

have only taken four doses of your
