T. .MtConvIll, Secretary Board of Health, Exhorts I 'incuts to Obey (Jitarniitliiv U-nv to Check Disease. In order that we may Intelligently apply preventive measures for tho suppression of disease It Is absolute ly essetlal that we havo tho hearty co-operation of the public. Without their eo-operatlon all health laws become a negligible quantity and might as well have never been writ ten. When our legislators at Har rlsburg caused to be passed upon our statttto books certain laws for the guidance of our health officers they did not intend to cause any unneces sary hardships to individual families even though at times obedience to these laws may greatly Inconvenience those that are unfortunate enough to have somo contagious or infectious disease within their household. Health laws are niado with the idea of tho greatest good to the greatest number. That Is why a certain per iod of quarantine is established for different diseases for during the time It Is posstblo for the patient to transmit tho dlseaso to others it is not only dangerous but criminal for the patient to come in contact with others. During the past eight weeks an epidemic of measles has been pre valent in Honesdale and vicinity, schools have bee nclosed, houses quarantined and many people put to a great deal of Inconvenience by the carelessness of their neighbors due to the fact that they utterly disre garded the quarantine law and help ed spread a contagious disease In stead of assisting the health authori ties to combat it. A chain is no stronger than its weakest link and though the state laws may be forged ever so strong if the connecting link between the health Inspector and the patient is only a flimsy pretext at compliance with the existing quarantine law, it is at once reduced to an absurdity and soon becomes a farce. There are some honest people who do not believe in quarantine, yet this does not excuse them from obedience to the law. There are others that think fumigation does no good. However, the law says it must be done wher ever contagious disease has been present. Some others believe they can fumigate themselves. But the law expressly says It must be done by the Board of Health. Then there are certain othors that refuse to pay for fumigation in the borough. Why they should do so has not been as certained as yet Ibut they should know the health officer pays him self, in the Board of Health, for the formaldehyde and as his time 13 worth something It Is supposed ho will be reimbursed by the tenant of, the property where a contagious dis ease exists. If every household where measles or any other contagious disease exists will live up to the law as laid down by the State Board of Health which tho Health Inspector Informs him of, we will soon be rid of measles and have within this beautiful borough of Honesdale a health resort Instead of a breeding place for disease. Most contagious aiseases are pre ventable today and If the public once become familiar with that scientific fact and know tho Important part each individual plays in the health of his community wo could get along with less doctoring and spend more time Increasing the wealth and hap piness of our common county.

GAME PLENTIFUL IN THE STATE Blight and Game Results Will lie Serious if Chestnut Trees Arc Destroyed, Says Secretary Kalhfus Other Harris burg Notes. In the opinion of Dr. Joseph Kalb fus, Secretary to tho Board of Game Commissioners of Pennsylvania, based upon peisonal observation and reports he has received, game birds wintered well In this State in spite of the severe weather, and, together with a favorable hatching spring, the outlook for shooting next fall Is most excellent. Dr. Kalbfus attrib uted this condition of affairs to feeding by the keepers of the game preserves and the systematic de struction of wildcat, fox, weasel, skunk and other animals that prey upon feathered life. Dr. Kalbfus believes that the good work In this direction should be carried further by tho passage of a bounty act, and he devotes consid erable space in the report he made recently to tho Game Commission to advocacy of it. Reference is also made In the report to the spread of the chestnut blight. It means if It is not checked, says Dr. Kalbfus, a decided reduction on the food supply for wild life, and when the supply rails oeiow the demand thero Is sure to be serious results. A fall Is taken out of "an or ganization that has been formed in Harrisburg for, as their printed dec laration states, the protection of sportsmen." The doctor is of the opinion that tho policies advocated by these Harrisburg hunters are at variance with the best Interests of tho State. Governor Tener of Pennsylvania and his staff of commissioners ar rived at San Francisco 'Wednesday to select a site for the Pennsylvania building at the Panama-Pacific Inter national exposition.

On Friday evening a young man of this place attempted to end his life by drinking chloroform In a Main street restaurant, but tho attompt failed and ho was rescued In tlmo by tho administrations of a local phy sician.
