MANY DOGS
NOT ASSESSED
Now that a crusade against rabies
lm -n been started the following bit of
static. *ical information showing the
number o. 112 dogs assessed iu the county
will possess to most people a peculiar
significance.
In each of; the .wards of Dauville
dogs are assessed as follows: First
ward, 73; second waru, 177; third ward,
28; fourtli ward, 37, maK i U! rn total of
215 (logs in the borough of Da. •jyille.
In Derry township 115 dogs . as _
sessed; in Anthony township 1 25 are
assessed, the total of the two town
ships being 210, which exceds tin , mun .
lier of dogs assessed in the boro' ag i, 0 f
Danville. The same thing occ nrs ; u
the townships of Liberty aud M Tahon
ing the former having 167 dogs on the
assessor's list and the latter 127, t...
total being 294. which exceeds. the
number of dogs assessed in Danville.
In the other townships dogs are as
sessed as follows : Cooper 54;
stoue 64; Mayberry 47; % alley 113,
* West Hemlock 37. In Washingtonville
borough 15 dogs are assessed.
That the 215 dogs assessed in the
borough of Dauville are only a frac
tion of the number that possessed the ,
freedom of the streets before the quar- ,
antiue was declared is a self-evident
fact. The act of June 1. 1907. the ob
ject of which was to compel the pay
ment of tax on dogs, does not seem to
have had the desired effect iu Dan
v, all dogs to
wear a collar together w*i
tached thereto showing the payment
of tax and providos for the killing of
dogs whose owners fail to comply with
the provisions of the act.
The county commissioners last year
purchased a lot of tags and a number
were given out on payment of tax. It
was learned Tuesday that few, if any
tags have been given out as yet the
present year.
The special ageut of the Live Stock
Sanitary board, who was in this city
last week stated that the law is being
enforced and is found to work very
satisfactorily. In his opinion there is
no donbt as to its validity, which in
some counties was questioned at first.
Every dog,which does not wear a tag,
he said,under the law is presumed not
to be assessed and must be shot by the
constable after the latter lias compli
ed with the proper procedure.
EASILY DECIDED.
This Question Should be Answer
ed Easily by Danville People.
Which is wiser—to have confidence
in the opinions of your fellow-citiz
ens, of people you know,or depend on
statements made by utter strangers
residing in far-away places? Read
the following :
Mrs. George Ricketts, living at 405
Church street, Danville, Pa., says:
'•lt is twelve years since Doan's Kid
ney Pills were first used in my family I
and;l recommend them just as highly
at this time. Mr Rioketts had been
more or less annoyed Jwith pains
through the small of his back which
were even more severe when lying
down than when at .work. There was
also a a dull, heavy aching across his
kidney regions accompanied by sharp,
shooting twinges through his loius.
Knowing that a kidney medicine was
what his system required, he procur
ed a box of Doan's Kidney Pills at
Hunt's drug store. A short use gave
him prompt and effective relief, re
moving the pain and lameness from |
his back and benefitting him iu every |
way. He lifts us?d Doan's Kidney Pills j
on occasions since and has never fail
ed to obtain satisfactory results."

The usual circular governing the an
j uual inspection, while in camp, is
now in the hands of the adjutant gen-
I eral, aud will doubtless be announced
Jiu a day or two. Owing to those
brigades arriving successively, on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, In
] spector General Sweeney has arranged
to liavo the inspection of personal ap
pearance on Friday for the Third
brigade ;on Saturday for the Second
briagde, and on Monday for the First
brigade. The field work will be in
spected in the same manner,the Third
brigade on Wednesday, Second brigade
! on Thursday and the First brigade on
1 Friday. In this portion of the inspec
tion work there will be no close order
business. The "Excendent Order,"
"Advance and Rear Guard" and "Out
post Duty," will comprise the pro
gram. Through such an arrangement
the briagde commandants will be able
to cut. loose, in between time, as it
were, for any manoeuvering they may
choose. The First briagde will be fav
ored iu having more ground to work
over towards the end of its tour, as
the other brigades will pull out ahead
of the First, which can utilize the
'ound the others vacate. It is said
t,ia t quite an innovation, and a most

Bar Mill Starts Up.
After two weeks' idleness the bar
mill of the Reading Iron works resum
ed Monday morning, along with the
two puddle mills, which have been
making nearly full time during the
entire depression. The resumption of
! the bar mill brings nearly the entire
i plant into operation.
All our industries are running on as
' nearly full time as possible. The stove
| works last week ran four days and the
j week previous five days. At no time
I during the business depression did the
latter plant fall below half time. It
i even did better, for while the time
was reduced, the number of moulders
j employed was greater than during the
same season last year when times were
i brisk.

!on Wednesday of last week. Given
! permission to hold a picinc in the j

the morning and had a gala time un- j
til a storm broke loose. Then they j
made a rush for the sacred edifice and
eftecting an entrance opened the wind
ows, plaved the organ and created a
general roughhouse. The noise at
tracted the attention of a devout lady !
member, who was horrified at the
spectacle presented. She gave the de- j
secrators a piece of her mind,but they j
retaliated by calling her,"old maid." !
They were finally ejected.

PURE FOOD LAWS
UNENFORCED
A remarkable statement concerning
efficiency of thejiure food; campaign
iu this state, was given oat Saturday
by Dairy and Food Commissioner
.Tames Fonst at Harrisburg, wiio said :
Some time ago we determined to
thoroughly investigate the quality of
various brands of canned goods, soups,
potted meats, etc., sold in the state.
We concluded to make a comprehen
sive job of it. Special agents of the
division were Bent into the following
counties: Mercer,Crawford, Erie War
ren, Veuaugo, Armstrong, Westmore
land, Indiana, Blair, Huntingdon,
Clearfield, Centre, Lycoming North
umberland, Dauphin, Lancaster and
Lebanon. The special agents of the
division gatiiered in all sorts of cau
ned goods. They collected corn, peas,
beans, tomatoes, asparagus, oysters,
perhaps some'other sorts. They ac
cumulated a large variety of the stand
ard soups. They purchased a collection
of potted meats,consisting of.chickeu,
haai, tongue, aud veal loaf. Nor did
they neglect weinerwurst aud pork
sausage. These commodities were put
up iu various states of the union. They
bore all sorts of trademarks and were
variously branded. Having collected
our samples we sent them to compet
ent'chemists for analysis. Not a single
one of all the 850 samples contaiued a
chemical preservative aud none was
artifically colored. Were we disap
pointed? Why, sure! but it was a
pleasant disappointment. For we
would far rather commend a manu
facturer for making and a dealer for
selling houest goods than detect him
in a fraud. One thing about these
goods, however, 1 think you ought to
tell the people. Tiie brands costing the
most money were invariably the best,
the caus containing less water or juice.
The corn was of the best grade and
well packed in tiie can, the tomatoes
were in many instances whole, and
were fine aud plump. The others were
not injurious to health but they were
not the equal of the better grades, aud
I am satisfied that the cheap ones were
the most costly, since they contained
far less substances than the others.
War Against Consumption.
All nations are endeavoring to chec
the ravages of consumption, th
"white plague" that claims so many
victims each year. Foley's Honev ai:d
Tar cures coughs and colds perfectly
and you are in no danger of consump
tion. Do not risk your health by tak
ing some unknown preparation when
Foley's Honey and Tur is safe and
certain in results. Sold by Paules &

Can't Spoon on the Beach,

ported that he has instructions from
1 the mayor to stop too promiscuous
"spooning" on the beach. His chief

SETTEES FOR
THE NEW PARK
Mrs. Johu K. Bennett of Castle
Grove has presented the borough with
three ornamental iron settees for tue
in the public park. They were deliver
ed at the grounds Monday.
The settees are of the finest work
manship and will each afford com
fortable space for five persons. They
were placed in position Monday aft
ernoon, each beneath a large tree oat
side the concrete sidewalk between
the park and Bloom street. There is
abundant space between the trunk of
tiie trees and the pavement to accom
modate the settees. Not only do the
seats,rustic in designs,impart a finish
ing touch to the park, but they fill a
long-felt want at that point, affording
an inviting place for persons to'rest
and refresh themselves while passing
backwards aud forwards between up
per Bloom street and the business
quarter of town. Already Monday
afternoon the seats were occupied by ]
persons who found pleasure iu view- }
iog the park
The Petrikin cemetery is now neat- j
ly graded and presents the same finish- j
ed appearance as the.park proper. Only j
a few touches remain to be applied,
after which the workmen will leave i
the park.
Tiie installing of flower beds, which j
is wholly iu the hnuds of the residents '
living near tiie park, just now is up- !
permost iu the mind of people. The
labor expended on this branch of the
work by the public well attests to the
general interest that is felt iu the park
improvements aud tiie desire to see
them carried to completion.
The large triangular flower bed at
the northern entrance, planted by
families living on Upper Mulberry
street, was described in a former is
sue. Since then a large circular bed
has been planted with geraniums near
the concrete sidewalk about midway
between the southern entrance aud the
P. <te R. railway. The geraniums, sev
eral hundred iu number, were present
ed by Florist LeDuc. The latter bed,
like the one planted at the Upper Mul
berry street entrance,presents a thrifty
appearance and the two add very much
to the beauty of the park.
Monday two other flower beds
were finished by the park workmen,
and that evening every thing was in
readiness for planting them. Each of
these beds is in the shape of a star aud
js large in size.
One of them is in the north-east sec
tion of the park and is i:i the hands of
the ladies of Upper Mulberry
For planting this bed Mrs. John R.
Bennett presented the borough with
300 coleus, which were delivered into
the hands of the Monday aft
ernoon.
Tiie other bed or star is located at
the lower end of the park within full
view of the station platform. Flowers

, raised by popular subscription among
| the people living near the park.

STATE WILL HELP
ME[GET WORK
Hereafter the State of Pennsylvania j
will receive applications from the un- j
employed and endeavor to put them to j
work. The scheme has been evolved j
by Johu L. Rockey, chief of the State |
bureau of industrial statistics. Penn- j
sylvauia has never had a bureau of j
employment aud although numerous j
inquiries about obtaining men have j
been received in recent years aud many j
requests for information which might i
lead to employment have lately been
reaching the bureau it has beeu un
able to care for them through lack of
aii appropriation.
Chief Rockey has decided after study
of the statutes that there is nothing
to prevent his bureau from engaging
iu such work aud lias opened com- j
munication witli organizations of the j
Young Men's Christian Association
and other bodies throughout the State, I
so that lists of those desiring men or
employment may be kept.
"At present there is a demand for
aid in the harvest,' said Chief
Rookey. "I know of counties where 1
men cau receive good wages aud sub- 1
stautial board and where unless hands
are obtained the gathering of the crops I
will be seriously interfered with. The
I plan 1 have adopted to assist the un
| employed iu the cities aud towns and
| bring them into communication with
j the farmers is to receive applications
at my office for work and for men.
• According to the district from which
I these applications come 1 will distrib
; ute the letters.l have established a
system by which the State Young
Men's Christian Association, with 70
organizations, will assist, and I am
hoping to still further extend it. I
think in this way the bureau can as
sist many worthy men and relieve the
! farming communities. 1 wish we
could do more,but we'are restricted."

vincingly explained the necessity of
au inebriate asylum. At the conclusion
of his address the subject was discuss
ed by Dr. Meredith and the clergymen
I present. In conclusion, on motion, it |
was ordered that the sentiment of
those present be recorded as heartily !
in sympathy with the State medical so- |
j ciety in its efforts to establish a hos-
I pital for inebriates.
Dr. G. E. Stock of Danville read a
paper entitled "Hydrophobia with Re- j
j port of a Case.''
After dwelling at length upon the
j description and history of the dread
malady Dr. Stock wound up with a
[ "few words to the skeptics." It is au
j undeniable fact, he said, that tl.ere is
a disease in man which kills and
j which is produced by a dog bite. The
I features of this disease are occasional
!ly simulated by other maladies and
; this fact has been made by certain lay
| writers the ground for denying the oc
currence of rabies in man; but such
! denial is only possible through lament
j able ignorance and its refutation is
needless (says Gower). Medical liter
ature is replete with cases of hydro
| phobia,published by eminently respect
I able authorities whose words aud
judgment ou auy other disease dare
j not be questioned. Some of these cases
reported leave no ground for supposing
that any mental element entered into
j the causation of the symptom, the
! victims even dying without any re
| cognition whatever of the true nature
i of their disease.
Hillions Worth of Vegetables,
| Pennsylvania produces over $15,000,-
j 000 worth of vegetables annually.
| Only one other state makes a better
showing in the value of garden pro
! ducts. Philadelphia county enjoys the
reputation of being the secoud county
!in the United States iu the average
value of garden produce per aire. mnd
Mlogheny county ranks fifth. These
figures show the importance of market
gardening in Pennsylvania.
Fearing the Potato Bug.
The farmers, who are large potato
: raisers, are fearing trouble from the
potato bug. Some years ago the bug
was destroyed by a parasite—a smaller
bug which ted on the big striped fel
lows. This season the little bug has
failed to appear, while the big fellows
in some sections are growing more
| numerous aud destructive.
New Plank on Bridge.
The county commissioners have in
serted a number of new planks on the
sidewalk of the river bridge where ti.e
original boards had become rotten
The improvement is a step in the right
direction,as the bridge should be kept
| in first class repair.

A Bold Step.
To overcome the well-grounded and

Bladder troubles most always result from
a derangement of the kidneys and a cure is
obtained quickest by a proper treatment of
the kidneys. If you are feeling badly you
can make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and
bladder remedy.
It corrects Inability to hold urine and scald
ing pain in passing it, and overcomes tha'
unpleasant necessity of being compelled to
go often during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and the
extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and sold
by all druggists in fifty-cent and or.e-dollar
