Superintendent REGISTRAR'S MONTHLY REPORT The local registrar's report to the bureau of vital stat.ißtios for February shows that the healthful conditions with low death rate whioh prevailed during last fall and midwinter still exist. During February there occurred twenty deaths, four of which were at the hospital for the insane. Iu January there were twenty-one deaths; in Dec ember, seventeen. In February the births exceeded the number of deaths by ten, there being thirty-one report ed. During February communicable dis eases were reported as follows: Pneu monia, one case; measles, four cases; scarlet fever, three cases ;*typhoid fev er, two cases; chiuken pox, five cases. One of the typhoid fever patients is receiving treatment at the Joseph Ratti hospital.Bloomsburg. The single case of pneumonia reported resulted fatally. The healthful conditions prevailing are somewhat unusual at tiiis season, especially as relate to communicable diseases. The local registrar yesterday explained that the school authorities are undoubtedly entitled to a good deal of credit for preventing the spread of diphtheria,scarlet fever,&c..among the pupils. It is trne that there are frequent outbreaks of these diseases in school, but owing to the practice of reporting each case promptly, fumig ating the rooms thoroughly and ex cluding pupils of the infected family us required by the school law, one sel dom hears ot the disease spreading be yond tho family in whioh the out break oocurs. Pneumonia, a dieaded disease and one prevalent at this season, is also much more successfully combatted since it has come to he regarded as a communicable disease. Grip, which assumes a couple of different forms,is quite prevalent just now and keeps the doctors more or less occupied. DURING 1!»08. During 1908 there were 216 cases of comuiuuicabla diseases wit'i 13 deaths in this district. Of pneumonia there were >'3 cases and 6 deaths; of diphth eria, 27 cases and 2 deaths; of tuber culosis 16 cases and 2 deaths; of ty phoid fever, 38 eases and I death; of whooping cough, 17 cases and 1 death. There were 55 oases of scarlet fever, the disease existing iu a mild form. There were also 13 cases of measleß and •' cases of erysipelas. No deaths occurred from the three last named diseases. There was one case of hydro phobia, which proved fatal. SO DECEPTIVE .lany Danville People Fall to Realize the Seriousness. Backache is so deceptive. It comes and goes—keeps you guess ing.

M'HENRY APPEALS FOE BULLETINS Ou Saturday Congressman McHenty made a vigorous speech before the house of representatives at Washing ton, in his attempt to have the ap propriation for the publication of farmers' bulletins increased. He di rected attention to the fa<)t that the effectiveness of the agricultural de partment is handicapped by lack of means to carry out its purposes. He said that the agricultural industry is the greatest wealth producer and of the total appropriation made by con gress less than one per cent, is applied to agrioulture. Seventy per cent, of the appropriations are for war pur poses, $10,000,000 go for Indians and to maintain schools for Indians, but we deny farmers free access to the agricultural bureau because of a lack 'of appropriations. The conservation ]of natural resources can be achieved | in the development of agriculture. [ Promote the fertility of the soil and you decrease the cost of living and j increase the prosperity of the work iugmen. Unless this is done we will i be importing wheat inside of twenty five years. Agriculture was the sole ] industry which saved the country from I absolute ruin during tne recent panic. Otiter industries fell into a 'state of lethargy but the farmer worked on and produced that which brought the necessary currency back into the chan nels of commerce. Our present foreign trade balances are due to agricultural products. The time is here when na tions must apply more thought and means to produoliou and less to de struction. If the nation is to get econ omic returns for the cost of maintain ing the argicultural department the six millions of farmers of the country sliould have the information gleaned by the department. They pay for this, have a right to it and propose to see that they get it. SIOO Reward, SIOO.

A PDDDLER'S INHERITANCE To be raised suddenly and withont the least hint from the humble oir oumstanoes of a wage earner to the lot of one removed beyoud the necessity of labor was the happy experience of a puddler at the Danville Rolling mill on Thursday. The fortuuate workman wag Peter Radinger, who receives an inherltanoe of fifty-thousand dollars. Radlnger was a puddler who oame to Danville from Lebanon a couple of weeks ago. He was not able to secure steady work but "stood turns" at the Danville Rolling mill. He had work only occasionally, while at Lebanon he had a family dependent upon him. In order to save a little money to send home lie obtained his food as cheaply aB possible and slept in the rolling mill. The man seemed like an industrious j willing sort of a fellow and he was ! well-liked by the workmen at the mill, HiH lot was hard enough, but during j the early part of the week his case was rendered still less enviable by the tiijws llmt-th?Ke was wckness in liis family. It was not with the lightest heart, therefore,that the poor fellow went to work at the big No. 6 paddle furnace, j Thursday morning. It was while tugging at the red hot iron that the news of his rare pood fortune came to him. He paused in his arduous labor to accept a letter that was handed to hira. He dashed the per spiration from his forehead and with a trembling hand tore the seal Then, as he perused its contents,his face was a stndy. Instead of conveying had news in any form, the letter apprised him that he had been bequeathed flflv thousand dollars by a person whom he had rend ered a service years before*. Naturally after perusing the letter the man was raised to the highest pitch of elntion and delight. Flinging aside his tools at the first opportunity he quit the mill and, on the first train, proceeded to his home. Before the story of the puddler's good fortune became generally known the man had left for home. The story as far as possible yesterday was con firmed at the Danville Rolling mill where Kadinger had shown the letter received to the other workmen and where the circumstances of the case were generally known.

Truancy No Longer a Factor, Attendance Officer Young, whose duties were strenuous enough a year or so ago. experiences little difficulty now in keeping the boys in school, thanks to the uniform support he has had from the school board in enforc ing the compulsory attendance act. Trnanoy. he says, is scarcely a factor to rerkon with any longer. The offic er makes his rouuds as usual but there are few absentees reported beyond those who are detained at home by Bickness or the lack of clothing. Pnpils Inclined towaid truancy have come to realize that in absenting themselves from school surreptitiously there is little hope of eluding the ever-vigil ant attendance officer and the penalty entailed when caught more than count erbalances the short-lived and doubt ful pleasure, not to say the discom forts experienced while skulking about the streets and alleys. It has become a habit with the boys to remain in school. Under the present school law the tricks and stDdied deception that enter into successful truancy promise to be relegated to the lost arts.

PART OF BIG PLAN. | The plan has b«en uuder considera ! tion for some months, and recently there was a move to secure the right of way from the supervisors of the var ious townships through which the road is to pass ou the route mapped ! out. These accessions were secured with little difficulty from East Buffalo ; and Union township supervisors, their j consent being necessary before a ; charter could be applied for. It is ! reliably reported the line is to be a I part of a truuk line that the promot | ers have in view, that is to coonect I VVilliamsport with the coal regions, orossing the river over the new bridge at Sunbury.

(lO TO FARMING SAYS STUART Here is an opinion—a bit of advice from Governor Stuart to the young iu«u of the State and nation; "I be lieve that the farm is one of the great er opportunities now presented to young men. Its sucoess depends upon application, energy and ability. If agriculture is pursued in the right manner, there is just a.- much oppor tunity for a niau to become prosper ous, in proportion to the amount of capital invested as in almost any oth er vocation. What is required Is for a man to study the soil aud know what he can raise most profitably aud, in addition, to study his immediate com munity and its needs. He must be more or less of a specialist and know why he raises this crop or that." How ran any person risk taking some unknown cough remedy when Foi»v's Honey aod Tar costs them no more?
