MAXIMS FOR
HOUSEHOLDERS
The time for the annual Spring clean
up of one's home surroundings is at
hand. In some places one of the weeks
of the present month has been fixed on
as the time when the whole city or
town will be gone over and all rub
bish and garbage disposed of iu a way
that will make for generally healthful
conditions. Danville should have its
clean-up, too, for there is much ac
cumulation that will cause unhealth
ful conditions if allowed to remain.
In every yard there is a certain ac
cumulation of discarded things that
make for unpleasantness of surround
ings and for unhealthful conditions.
It. is well that these should be gotten
rid of at once, ami where the city reg
ulations do not provide for their re
moval it becomes uecessary that the
householder and home-owner arrange
for its disposal through other means.
In Philadelphia they are going to
have a "clean-up" week the last of
the mouth, and Director Neff, of the
Department of Health, has expressed
himself on the matter in a way that
will fit any other city or town in the
State. Hero are some of his thoughts
—they are called
"MAXIMS FOR HOUSEHOLDERS.''
"Lot every one do his and her share,
in order that all may profit. You owe
it to yourself; you owe it to your
neighbor; your neighbor owes it to
you.
"There is no happiness without
health. There is uo dirt without dis
ease.
"The child can help in cleaning up
paper scraps and light material, and
so have inculcated in its young mind
the importance of cleanliness by a
practical object lesson which will be
of more value than lectures and text
books.
"Remove all rubbish from the cellar
and place it in the proper receptacles
for collection by the ash wagons.
"Do not forget the dirt and dried
leaves in the drain pipes and roof gut
tors, which will prevent the free pass
age of water, thereby forming small
pools in which millions of mosquitoes
will be bred.
"Pour a strong solution of lye wat
er or kerosene into all waste pipes
from sinks, baths aud water closets.
"Do not forget to remove carpets
aud rugs and have them thoroughly
beaten aud cleand.
"Torn wallpaper is unsightly and
accumulates dust.
"Scrub the dark corners; here it
would be well to use some disinfect
ant iu the scrub bucket.
"Bedding and clothing should be ex
posed for some time iu the open ail
and sunshine.
"Drain all stagnant pools of water
from the yards and alleys.
"Screen the entire house, if possi
ble; if not, screen the kitchen and
rooms where food is handled. If any
are too poor to do this, they should
buy a few cents worth of mosquito
netting and improvise a cover at least
for tho sick—especially the baby—giv
ing them the opportunity of securing
rest and sleep, ofttimes uecessary to
turn the scale from death to life and
to prevent the spread of disease from
the sick to well members of the fami
ly."
Beware of Ointments For Catarrh That
Contain Mercury.
as mercury will surely destroy the
senses of smell and completely derange
the whole system when entering it

Examination of School Children.

amined by State medical inspectors in
the rural districts of Dauphin, Cum
berland and Lancaster oounties, 2,439
have been found to have physical de
fects. Those showing defoctive vision

tuberculosis, fifty five.

DIFFERENT
KINDSJF EGGS
2 The fact that George B. Markle, the
millionaire coal operator who is about
to opeu a mammoth chicken farm at
Espy, having studied the tastes of New
York and Philadelphia egg eaters and
users,proposes now to send five differ
ent varieties of eggs to the consumers,
will arouse interest among the farm
ers, who have heen taught to believe
that, as far as eating is concerned,one
kind of an egg is as good as another,
so long as it is fresh.
A perfectly white egg of uniform
size is to be sent to New York and
Philadelphia, where it is popular in
the restaurants and club houses, the
restaurants and hotel keepers believ
ing that when they are served in the
shell it looks better to have eggs of
the same color and size than an as
sortment of sizes and colors.
A dull white egg is to be sent to the
dealers iu New York and Philadel
phia. They also demand a white egg,
but the dealers are not as particular as
the hotel and restaurant men, and a
! dull white egg suits them well enough.
1 A third grade of egg, of mixed or
mottled color, some partly white and
others partly brown, will goto the
general commercial trade in both
' cities. An egg with a very white yolk,
; laid by a special breed of chickens, is
in great demand in both cities by the
makers of ice cream.
Another egg, with an unusually yel
low yolk, is desired by the bakers of
both cities and is in much demand, as
it aids in giving the cakes the yellow,
eggy color which makes them look
1 like home-made cakes.
Why Boston should like a very
brown egg best is not known, but it
' does; and from the Markle farm all of
' the deep,rich brown-colored eggs will
he picked out for the Boston market.
1 Perhaps Boston likes them because
they match in shade the Boston bean.
' But whatever it is, the brown eggs are
' the ones that Boston housewives ask
for when they buy.
The grounds at the farm are now be
! iug drained, the roads macadamized,
and the completion of the various
buildings is in sight.
One Conductor Who Was Cured.
i Mr. Wilford Adams is his name,and
• he writes about it.—"Some time ago I
t was confined to my bed with chronic
rheumatism. I used two bottles of
Foley's Kidney Remedy with good
effect, and the third bottle put me on
my feet and I resumed work as con
ductor on the Lexington, Ky., Street
Railway. It gave me more relief than
any medicine I had ever used and it will
do all vou claim in cases of rheuma
tism." Foley's Kidney Remedy cures
rheumatism by eliminating the uric

PARENT-TEACHER ASS N.
The'Parent-Teacher association held
a meeting in the high school auditor
ium Tuesday night,at which there was
a very good attendance. Mrs. I.
H. Jennings occupied the chair.
Dr. E. A. Curry gave a very inter
esting talk on the subject of adenoids,
a troublesome disease that frequently
afflicts children between the ages of
three anil fifteen years. It may be de
scribed as a soft fleshy mass that grows
iu the upper part of the throat back
of the nose It prevents natural
breathing,causing the child to breathe
through the month instead of through
the nose. Thus the child fails to get
a full supply of oxygen; nutrition is
imp: ired and the general health suffers.
The most prominent symptoms are a
dry persistent aud irritating cough and
a more or loss chronic discharge from
the nose. In all cases Dr. Curry rec
ommended prompt Ueatment embrac
ing the removal of the adenoids.
About 8 per cent, of children are af
fected with adenoids.
Dr. Curry also dwelt upon the sub
ject of enlarged tonsils, which like
adenoids yield to treatment if proper
ly applied.
Dr. Curry's address was followed j
with a discussion on the subject of a ,
curfew law. The Rev. James Wollas
ton Kirk, introduced the subject. He |
dwelt upon the beneficial effects of i
snch a law but stated that the Hist |
move should be to discover what the j
sentiment of the people of Danville are
on the subject.
Mis. Jennings read a letter which
she received from an ex-mayor of j
Wilkes-Barre, where the curfew law j
had beeu enacted. The mayor's ex- |
perience was not of a sort to enconr- j
age a belief that the law would be
wholly a success in Danville. Dr. [
•Stock and others spoke on the subject, j
Mrs. Meyers rendered a recitation. ;

DANVILLE H.S. LOST TO SHAMOKIN
Tho Danville high school lost the
first game of the season here ou Satur
day afternoon to the strong Shamokin
high School by a score of 11 to 1. A
large crowd witnessed the game.
The riper experience and general all
aronud superiority of Shamokin was
t responsible for the one sided score.
Dan Farley pitched a good game for
Danville, but his support was not at
| all what it should have been. He had
, 11 strike outs and registered two out
of Danville's three hits, besides cov
, ering nine assists.
It is altogether likely, too, that a
L little case of stage fright had some
. thing to do with Saturday's reverses,
> but the ice broken it is believed by
. those who have been watching the
work of the local high school boys that
, they will bo in good shape to give

SIGNING A TEAM.
| Manager Hoffman, of the Danville
1 j Susquehanna league team, says that
signing up a bunch of players is a job
that requires the leading of a pretty
strenuous life during the several weeks
. prior to tho opening of the season.
Enough men could be signed to fill
. up a dozen teams, aud the trick of the
I manager's job is to pick out the good
ones, not necessarily from those who
| apply, but from those he goes after,
j Few people realize the work that has
been done on the team and tho work
1 that still remains to be done before the
boys will trot out 011 the diamond 011
May 7th. Manager Hoffman for a
1 month has been making several trips a
week to towns far and near looking up
' likely players. In addition ho has a
mail budget that would do credit to a
j small sized mail order house.
| Every mail brings in offers that
range any where from tin; broken down
big leaguers to a 10 year old boy. One
; letter that Manager Hoffman is pre
-1 j serving is from a pitcher, who claims
j that if he is given a chance 011 the
, Danville team he will "stand the Sti.--
' quehanua leaguers 011 their heads."
NESCOPECK'S FIRST GAME
The first team in tho Susquehanna
league this season to get into tho game
is Nesoopeck and in its game of Sat
urday afternoon with a team from
Shamokin won by the one sided score
of 10 to 4. Manager Splain tried out
his whole bunch during the nine in
nings, and for tho first game they
showed up remarkable well.
Even taking into consideration that
Shamokin's playing was remarkably
weak,the showing of Nescopeck's two
pitchers in striking out nineteen men
between them is a very strong 0110.
Nescopeck's batting was heavy, Lang
don, a new man in right field, leading
with a home run and two two baggers.
SHICKSHINNY OPENS SEASON
Shickshinny also opened its prelimi
nary season 011 its home grounds Sat
urday by defeating Dunmore by a score
of it to 7.
The game was loosely played by
both sides and had all the marks of a i
raw opener. Harued/a left over, was
on tho mound for Shickshinny. He
J Vat ;> hit.?, but the errors oi'
his team mates were responsible for
most of Dunmore's scoring.

MISSED OPENING DAY
1 The Harrisburg Telegraph, in its
1 Evening Ghat column, says:
1"For the first time since he grew up
1 and was able to yield a rod, he missed
, the opening of the trout season. He
1 was in court Friday when the season
opened and the anglers began to angle
and on Saturday,instead of fishing for
trout, he was fishing for some points
in the Huston case. He is one of the
groat fishermen of the State, just as
he is oni\ of the great lawyers. He be
gan to fish when lie wore knee breeches
and lie has kept it up religiously ever
j since. He fishes whenever ho lias the
j chance and he has generally managed
1 | to make the chance fit This year the
Huston trial got 111 tho way and he
was not able to select some dozen flies
out of his collection of some hundreds
to throw in front of the noses of the
gamiest fish in Pennsylvania. James
Scarlet has probably the greatest col
lection of trout flies in the Susquehan
j 11a valley. He has all kinds, and the
j list of names sounds like the roster of
; a yacht club or the list of plays at a
j metropolitan theatrical agency. And
I to think that April 15 came, around
] and not one of the bunch was oven
dipped in water."
A FROST
There seems to bo very grave feaia
, that tho crop of early cherries may be
i a failure. Mercury yesterday morning
j dropped down to 35 degrees and there
j was a frost, which at some places in
! tho vicinity of Danville was quite
j heavy.
| A number of farmers were inter
viewed yesterday and there seemed to
i be a diversity of opinion as to what
damage had resulted from the frost.
I The early cherries seem to be the prin
cipal variety of fruit that have ad
j vanceil far enough to sustain injury.
Not a few persons seem fully of the
j opinion that the blossoms are killed.
Others think that tho crop is only!
i slightly damaged and assign as a rea
j son the fact that the sun did not shine
brightly, if at all,after the frost, dur
ing the morning hours.
STRICKEN AT FUNERAL

I Lutheran church at Middleburg, and .

PREVENT CROWS
POLLING CORN
A farjier of oue of the central coun
ties wrote to State Zoologist H. A.
Surface, Harrisburg, about soaking
corn in either coal tar or dilute car
bolic acid to keep crows from pulling
up newly-planted corn. He said that
ho suffered much damage in past years
through the depredations of crows,and
wants to get ahead of them this year.
Professor Surface's answer to this
! letter contained the following:
'lt is commonly reported that corn
should be soaked a few minutes in
' water containing a solution of coal
tar or gas tar, and then spread and al
-1 lowed to dry. This will make the corn
i so bitter that the crows will bo sus
picious of it and will not eat it for
fearjof being poisoned. I presume dil
ute carbolic acid would serve the same
> purpose, but I am not certain about
t this.
Different devices have been recom
' mended to keep the crows from pull
' lug corn, one of which is strings
1 stretched around and across the corn
field. It is also recommended to sow
corn on top of the ground about the
. time it commences to shoot through
J the soil, in order to |feed the crows at
' this time, so they will not pull the
1 grain that is planted. It is best for a
a person to try one or more methods and
■ make a practice of that which ho finds
» best.''
