P - MI A LETTER FROM THOS. A, EDISON Borough Electrician Newton Smith yesterday received a communication from Thomas A. Edison,which stirred up a great deal of interest about town. It is no secret that the great inventor for years past has been working on a special storage battery for automo biles. That important and far-reach ing results depend upon the success of his labors is apparent to all. THE INVENTION That Mr. Edison has perfected his invention is evident from his letter, which is self-explanatory. Danville should feel honored that it lies in the route that the great inventor has sel ected for trying out his new battery, and of being permitted to assist iu an experiment to which such general and widespread interest attaches. The let ter follows: "From Laboratory of Thomas A. Edison, Orange, N. J., Aug. 20, I'.UO. "Mr. Newton Smith, Municipal Electrician, Danville, Pa. "Dear Sir : lam about to make a number of touring tests with several electric automobiles equipped with our new type of battery. \ "I shall consider it a personal favor \ if you will advise me at your earliest \ convenience as to charging facilities on your system. "Will require from 70 to 110 volts, direct current, and would be pleased to know the exact location of the plant, the hours at which a charge may be had and the type of apparatus —whether direct current generator, a rotary mercury arc rectifier or alter nating current, field exciter. "Information as to tours will be published and widely distributed, and I consider it will ultimately benefit the electrical industry. Yours truly THOMAS A. EDISON." FAVORABLE REPLY Electrician Newton Smith yesterday stated that the municipal plant is of a type—alternating current,field exciter —that will lend itself without difficu lty to the recharging of Mr. Edison's batteries. The reply to the inventor's inquiry, therefore, will be favorable. That Danville shall figure in the touring tests seems a foregone conclu sion under the circumstances, and about all that remains is to wait until further information concerning the tour is published.

General Passenger Agen HOUSE GLEANERS IE THROUGH The repairing and renovating of the school buildings of the borough aie now under way. In several of the wards the cleaning is practically com pleted. The hall ways, the rooms witli all their furniture have been thorough ly scrubbed. In many of the wards walls have been calcimined. The rooms clean and fresh in appear ance, together with the extensive re pairs put upon the buildings, reveal how much each year is being done to promote the mere physical welfare of the pupils. For years past iu caring for the school children Danville has stood for all that was humane and progressing. The present school board is particular ly alert to heed the warnings sent out bv science, adopting every reasonable precaution to prevent disease. Now that the commodious and well ventilated school buildings are render ed clean and salubrious but one pro- j hlem relating to the physical wellfare of the pupils remains to be solved. This is the question of pure water. For several years past the school board to be on the safe side, at the outlay of considerable money, has fur nished sterilized or pure spring water to the pupils, in all instances dis couraging the use of water directly from the faucets for drinking pur poses. The boiled water, however, is found to be unpalatable, if removed from other objections,while the spring water, no matter how pure, after a few hours is found to be warm and insipid. The pupils care little for the water in either form. Iu this connection it is proper to re late that a proposition has been ad vanced relating to the water question, which may eventually find favor with the school board. The plan proposed is to boro a well on each of the school properties going down in the rocks to the depth of a hundred feet or more securing water free from pollution and iu quantity sufficient to supply tiie schools. The well recently bored by \V. G. Pursel.it is urged,demonstrates both that the scheme is practicable and that a comparatively small outlay of money is required. CURED TO STAY CURED i How a Danville Citizen Found Complete Freedom From Kidney Troubles. If you suffer from taekache—]|' From urinary disorders— From any disease of the kidneys, lie cured to stay cured. Doau's Kidney Pills make lasting cures. Danville people testify. Here's one case of it: Mrs. Charles Whispell. 1:27 W. Mah oning Street, Danville, Pn .says: "My experience with Doau's Kidney Pills justifies me iu saying that they are a remedy of merit. 1 had sharp twinges in loins and at times my back was so painful that I could hardly straighten I did not sleep well and in the morn I iug when I got up, the backache wa !as distressing as ever. It was difficult | for me to change my position when lv i ing down and the stiffness across my ; loins made it a task for me to arise ; after sitting. A tired, languid feeling clung to me and 1 was all out of sorts, j Heading about Doau's Kidney Pills I and hearing them highly spoken of by local people, I was induced to give them a trial. A supply was procured ; for me from Hint's Drug Store and the use of one I \ made a decided im ■ ) rovement. The iiain and soreness was elieved and I regained luv strength :iud energy. " (statement given Jan uary H'-i'S l OONMKMED PHtJOF On January .4, 1910, when Mrs. Whispell was interviewed, she said: "I am glad to say that Doau's Kidney Pills completely cured me of kidney complaint.

G., has been in this vicinity during a week past conducting an investigation as to the adaptation of Pennsylvania soils to orcharding. That the investigation may be attended with the best results the United States Department of Agri culture this year is working in co operation with the State Experiment i station. Mr. Wilder was interviewed at the Montour house last evening, when some very interesting facts were learn ed concerning the different varieties of soil and the opportunities that pre sent themselves to fruit growers of this and neighboring counties. Mr. Wilder, who has been connected with the United States Agricultural Depart- ' ment for nine years is a soil expert. | Witli Danville as a center he drives) over the country within a radius of | several miles investigating the soil j conditions for the purpose of ascer-1 taining the relative merits of the dif- j ferent kinds of soils for apple grow- j iug. It has already been ascertained j that some soils are much better adapt ed to orcharding than others. This; is especially true iu the growing of apples. The fruit industry has been much j better developed in the southern and i central parts of Pennsylvania than in other parts. It is the object of the de- j partuieut to determine whether fruit growing might not be much extended with profit iu other sections of the State. The markets of the anthracite coal region are especially good anil require for their consumption enormous quan tities of fruit. At the present time the greater part of the fruit handled is shipped from a distance. Mr. Wilder's investigations have brought out the fact that there are many locations within ami near this district which are well adapted to I fruit growing. As a result of the in | vestigation it is intended to bring out | a soil map and a report,which will be | available for free distribution. It will I also be arranged to have the subjects discussed at the State fruit meetings and at "Farmers' Week" at State College, etc. Mr. Wilder iu very decided terms expressed his opinion that farmers in general should nor go extensively into fruit growing. The report when ed will not urge any to embark in j fruit growing that have not a special liking for it. It is a highly specialized business capable of bringing high returns per acre, if properly followed. CRUELTY TO ANIMALS Several very flagrant cases of cruelty to animals have occurred iu this city during a week or so past. Whether these cases have occurred through mere thoughtlessness or downright cruelty on the part of the owners mat ters hut little so far as the animals I are concerned, as the misery they are I forced to endure is the same in either J case. "In a couple of cases it was much Ito be regretted that the Society for j the Prevention of Cruelty to animals ! has not an agent at this place. An ap j plication of the remedy provided by ■ ,the law might have had a salutary ef fect. ! It is not an uncommon spectacle to see lame horses or horses obviously sick and half-starved driven about the town and country. The acme of heart- I lessness wa- witnessed a few days ago when a horse suffering from the effects of an accident, was tied on the street 1 for a couple of hours. On one of the hind legs was a gash some seven inches long. The pain that the liorseendured was such that he could not keep his leg quiet but held it in many differ ent positions, while the flies clustered about the partially healed sore,adding to the torment. The present is a time of the year when horses need especial attention. Even fly nets do not afford full protec tion from insects and, although pro tected in this way, horses should not be obliged to stand in the open very long at a time. |The common instincts of humanity should dictate that a horse lame from any cause is unfit to drive. It is equally important that a horse be well fed and properly shelter ed in fly time. They Have a Definite Purpose. Foley Kidney Pills give quick relief in cases of kidney and bladder ail ments. Mrs. Rose Glaser.Terre Haute, lud., tells the result in her case. "Af ter suffering for many years from a serious case of kidney trouble and spending much money for so called cures, I found Foley Kidney Pills the only medicine that gave me a perman ent cure. I am again able to be np and attend to my work. I shall never hes itate to recommend them." For sale by Paules & Co., Pharmacy. Danville People at Philadelphia Party. Mrs. Geo.

The matter was brought up at the last meeting of council and pretty vigorously discuss ed in its various relations. The fact that the borough ordinance does not include whooping cough among communicable and dangerous diseases was adverted to, but this was regarded as immaterial in the light of the provisions of the act of May 14, 1909, which abrogates or overrides the borough ordinance. Upou request herewith is set forth the provisions of the late act that all may see to what extent they are liable who are negligent in the matter of whooping cough. The act of May 14, 1909, includes whooping cough among the communicable and dangerous dis eases and provides that whether exist ing in township, city, or borough, it must he reported by the attending ! physician. As soon as the health anth | urities receive a report of communic able diseases including whooping i cough they must proceed to quarantine I the premises in which such disease ex ! ists, placarding the house as provided !by the rules and regulations of the | health authorities. ! Section 7of the act provides that no ; child or other persons suffering from ! whooping cough or erysipelas shall be i permitted to attend any public, priv j ate, parochial or Sunday school. The j teachers and superintendents are re- J quired to exclude any and all such | children or persons from the schools for thirty days. Penalty is imposed for j neglecting to comply, i Section 13 is especially illuminat j ing. as it shows that children having | the whooping cough must not be per i mitted to he upon the street or away ' from the premises ou which they re side. This section provides that no person suffering from communicable diseases,among which whooping cough is enumerated, "shall wilfully expose j himself or herself in any street or pub* i ilc place or public conveyance, nor j shall any person in charge of anyone j so suffering thus expose the sufferer. " Section 'il provides that any person i who shall violate the quarantine re | strictions imposed by this act shall for ' every suchToffense be sentenced to pay j a fine of not less than SSO nor more than SIOO or be imprisoned in the county jail for a period of not less j than 10 nor more than 30 days or both | at the discretion of the court.

Oglesby, Esq., and Curtis | Lore, delegates, who attended the sixth International Congiess of Esper antists at Washington,D. C.,last week I are greatly impressed not only with ) the importance of the world language and the practical uses to which it cau j be applied but also with the hold that I it has upon t! e nations of the civiliz j ed world. | In the congress were 457 persons,em i bracing 23 nationalities. Fifteen gov ernments were officially represented, , among them being the United States, ; Russia, Spain, Brazil, Germany and j China. Several countries of South America were represented unofficially. All the countries of Europe were rep resented in the same way. The con gress was made up of all classes, rich and poor,professional men, mechanics and farmers. All the business of the cougress was conducted in Esperanto. Not only were all the widely scattered nations equally at home in the new tongue, but there was nothing in the language as spoken, no peculiarity of accent, to betray the nationality of the person on the floor. It was brought out during the pro ceeding that Esperanto is being taught in the public schools of F'rance and England. In Maryland it is being em braced in the curiculum of the Normal schools. In that state it may even be taught in the public 'schools at the option of the local authorities. The next international congress will meet at Antwert. ORDERLY TIMES The next regular term of court will not take place until the third Monday in October. The last term of court took place in June. Notwithstanding the long interval, if present conditions may be taken as a criterion,there will be only a limited amount of business ou hand at the next term. It has prob ably never occurred before in a period of corresponding length that things have been so orderly and uneventful throughout the county. Very rarely, indeed, have our justices been called upon to perform their legal functions, ami the number of cases thus far re turned are small. Unless things take a sudden change between the present and opening of court the next grand jury will not be detained many days. A session of argument court will be held Saturday, SeptemberMOth.

At a regular meeting Saturday morn ing the county commissioners ordered that bids for the retaining wall be in vited. Sealed proposals for both stone aud concrete will be received The bids will be opened on Saturday, Sep tember 10th. On the same day in all J probability the contract will be award ed. The wall is to be completed dur- j ing autumn. BOROUGH TAKES ACTION. At the adjourned meeting of council Saturday night it was ordered that the | borough extend its retaining wall at the water works thirteen feet further j ] eastward embracing the strip of land ! | unprotected that belongs to the bor- ■' |ough;it was ordered that this irn- j j proveiiieut be taken up in conjunction j i with the building of the retaining ■ j walFby the county on the tract ad- ! | joining and that the borough bear its 1 proportionate share of the cost.

FfflM IKttS FOR BORERS A York conuty.Pennslvania, merch ant, who owns a large orchard, wrote to State Zoologist Surface, asking: "Will white lead and raw linseed oil be good to paint peach trees around the trees down to the root to keep the borers away, and how long will it be effeotive? Will it kill them if there are auy in the tree? Also would it be too late to use arsenate of lead and j j Bordeaux mixture the latter part of j May for the Codling moth? Would this j have a poisonous effect on the fruit?" , The Professor replied: "A paint of ! pure white lead and raw linseed oil is : 1 all right on apple, pear anil Quince, or ; what are known as the " pome" fruits; 1 ; but 1 do not recommend it on the i "stone fruits," or peach, plum and \ \ apricot, although I have used it suc- I cessfully and without any injury whatever to the trees in my own peach i orchard. It is necessary that_it be raw i oil and pure whitelead. Ordinary paint i ! will not serve the purpose. Paint, with 1 drier in it will be especially liable to kill the trees. 1 have never recom mended it for use on peach trees, uot -1 withstanding the impression tiiat has got out to this effect. It will not kill i the borers that are in the apple, pear and quince trees, but it will be elfec [ tive during this summer or this season jin preventing the borors from enter ! iug. Some of our practical growers j claim that it will be effective during • two seasons, and they certainly find it J efficient in piotecting trees from rab | bits and mice for two seasons. I have | seen large orchards painted [with it j without the trees being injured, but I have recently received a report of darn ! age to peach trees from its use. My | own peach trees, thus painted thor oughly three years ago this year, are 1 j in as good condition as any others in i the entire orchard. Nearly one hun dred were so treated aud were not in jured in the least. It was effective in i preventing injury by borers 011 all my trees there applied. "If you have not yet sprayed for the Codling moth, I would recommend the application of arsenate of lead aud I Bordeaux mixture of which you make inquiry, even at this late date. This is about the time for the second spiay ing for this pest, and spraying now will certainly do much good. It would ; have been better to have sprayed be fore the green tips at the calyx closed over the fruit. No harm will be done in spraying now. There is 110 danger | of poisoning the fruit. "Instead of painting the stone fruit with oil paint,apply linn-sulfur wash, made the same as for San Jose scale, i with either brush or spray puuip, I abundantly 011 the base of the trunk I of the trees.

News that comes from the burning forests of Idaho, Montana and Wash i ington increases the seriousness of the situation so far as the destruction of j the magnificent trees is concerned,but reduces the estimate of loss of life. | Only fifty-four persons aie known to have perished. The hundreds of na tional forest rangers, who yesterday . were reported missing and probably dead, have not all turned up safe, but , many of them have. The fire-swept , country contains many lakes and , streams of water and bv taking refuge in these, the skillful rangers probably , saved their lives. Everywhere, except near the towns, the fires are still spreading. Many , companies of United States and State , troops are 011 the way to the burning . districts. The best hope of the threat ened forests, however, is in the sky. Rain and snow have fallen in Montana and light rains in Idaho, and the sea son of the fall rains is near at hand. Storie> of the blinding and burning of fire fighters have made it difficult to obtain men togo into the blazing woods Report from the forest fires on the Middle Fork and in the Elk City re gion state that the wind blew a gale all Tuesday and the ground gained by " the rangers and volunteers in the lull in the tempest Monday night has been - lost. Major Penu, who is in command - of five hundred men, considers the 1 situation desperate, and although the i almost exhausted tire fighters are 1 working with renewed energy, he has i little hope of making auy headway. 1 i However the wind has fallen and the 1 flames are advancing less rapidly.
