HEALTHY CHILDREN.
Iluild up your child's vitality if
you wish him to become a healthy
man. Frequently, Illness in after
life can bo traced to a sickly Infancy.
Tho worst cases of tuberculosis are
bolieved by many to bo those con
tracted In childhood.
Thereforo don't handicap your
child's career by exposing him to
disease. Never tako tho baby to tho
theatre, to moving pictures shows, to
funerals or anywhoro crowds gath
er. Colds, pneumonia, bronchitis
and tuborculosls aro to bo found In
such places. Crowds are responsible
for tho spread of epidemics or
grippe and similar diseases, which
aro moro dangerous to tho lnrant
than to tho adult.
Keep tho child out of doors at
overy opportunity. In wlntor when
tho sun shines and In summer as
much as posslblo both day and night.
Most peoplo dress children too
warmly. In summer, of course, tho
loss a child wears tho bettor off ho
Is.
Tho Idea that tho street child Is

child to play In alloys or near dump

Por Loss of Hor.so Sustained by Mrs.
IjOvcIcsh on .Inly II) Iiast Jury
Holds Township Liable. .
On 'Wednesday afternoon tho caso
of Angelino Loveless vs. Township
of Damascus was brought to trial.
Tho plaintiff claimed that on July
10, 1011, while driving along tho
public highway between Mllanvillo
and Uoyds Mills her horse stepped
on a stone, broke Its leg and had to
bo shot. The action was brought to
recover $200, tho value of the
horse. Tho jurors drawn In this
i caso were: 'William (D. Carlton.

fayetto Denlo, Manchester; 'Harvey'
Fuller, Dyberry: 'Eben Keen. Hones

Voigt, Hawley; F. Watrous, Salem.
P. 'P. Kimble represented the
plaintiff and In his remarks to the
Jury was very brief and to tho point.
.Mrs. lAngelino Loveless sworn:
She testified as to the accident as
follows: il llvo in Damascus town -
ship and am acquainted with the
condition of the road between Milan -
villo and Uoyds Mills. I havo driv-
en over that road many times. On
July 19, 1911, I was at Boyds Mills
with a runabout and single horse
and along towards evening I started
for home accompanied by Mrs. B. S.
Shannon. When we were about a
mile from Boyds Mills we came upon
a bad place in the road where a lot
of loose stones of all sizes were scat
tered about, making travel difficult.
On crossing over this spot the horso
stopped on a round stone and broke
Its leg. The horse fell over against
the shaft and backed up. I got out
of the buggy and examined the leg.
Mrs. Shannon got out and went up
to the Georgo Reynolds homo for
help.
Dr. Lldstone was called and said
that the horso might just as well be
shot. I kept the buggy in the beat
en track of tho road and the horse
was on a fast walk down the hill
curred on the other side of the j
l.rlHtrn frnm ,rinv,lu Mllla nn,I .nl
the horse backed It
pushed the
buggy on the bridge where It was
when the Reynolds party came up.
It was just about dusk and couldn't
see the stone that the horse stepped
upon.
Cross-examined: I did not stop the
horse on opposite sldo of bridge. Am
positive horse had accident on this
sldo of Geo. Reynolds' home, about
a mile from Boyds Mills. My horse
was walking fast. I measured some
of the stones. One was 10 inches
in diameter. Tho horse never had
been kicked previous. Had a nail
wound on left front leg above the
joint. It was nothing but a straight
scratch. Horse was not lamo In
right hind leg when started out.
Dr. Lldstone sworn. He testified
that he was a veterinary surgeon and
was a graduate of tho University of
Pennsylvania. On July 19, I was
called to attend a horse for Mrs.
Lovelass and got there some time
after thp accident. Horse was
standing a little off the road. Hind
loft leg was swinging, couldn't sup
port the weight of tho body. Two
bones brolien about six Inches apart.
I recommended killing the horse
which was done.
Cross-examined: There was anoth
er abrasion on insldo of samo leg
llttlo below fracture. That horse
had been kicked. It is possible for
a horso to bo kicked and have leg
splintered and walk and do work for
a week or ten days sometimes before
tho bono breaks entirely. 1 didn't
notice any defects on horse.
Questioned by Attorney Kimble:
Mark on leg was not old; looked as
if hair had been scraped off.

by stepping on a stone. It might be
possible.
