BRICK BUILDINGS
TO REPLACE RUINS
Recent Fire in Business Dis
trict Will Result in Big
Building Boom.
TOUR NEW BLOCKS PLANNED
Tbe fire on Main street on the Bight
of December 5th, which destroyed from
$25,000 '0 $30,000 worth of property,
with email amount of Insurance, was
a heavy loss to seven or eight individu
als, for whom everybody was sorry, yet
the fire will result In a decided Im
provement in the appearance of Main
street, as it is tbe intention of the
property owners to erect brick build
ings to take place of the frame struc
tures licked up in the conflagration
eighteen days ago. Vie understand the
work will be started as early as possible
in tbe spring ana that ureen & uonser,
.W, H. Moore, Peters & Butler and M.
M. Fisher will all build, making a solid
brick block from Imperial Hotel to
Prlester's furniture store,, which was
formerly frame buildings and some
of them looked very much out of place
-on our Main street. Tbe Individuals
. lost heavily by this fire, but as has
..been the case In several other large
fires In our town, it will mean a big
improvement in tbe appearance ol
Main street when the. burned district
is covered with new brick buildings.
Therefore, a few individuals lose and
lue town gains auuiuonai nanusome
and substantial buildings.

Agents of State Livestock

The State Livestock Sanitary Board
has issued a warning to farmers to bo
ware of men pretending to be agents of
the state charging for examination of
cattle under pretense of searching for
foot and mouth disease. They are also
warned that the Btate has sanctioned
no reduction of price for calves because
of the presence of the disease.

Effect of Tobacco
On School Students
A City Superintendent Blames
Failure of Students on Its
Influence.
City Superintendent W. H. Sprenkle
has b.'en giving much attention and In
vestigation to the use of tobacco among
tbe pupils of ourctty Bchools, and makes
the startling declaration that boys fail
ing to sustain themselves In their
grades or to win promotion, have been,
and are, addicted to the use of tobacoo
In some form. Every boy, he says, from
the fifth grade up, wboiias failed to be
promoted or has had to repeat his
grade, that is, who has had to remain
In the same grade more than one year,
has been a user of tobacco; every boy
demoted has been a user of tobacco, and
the superintendent does not recall a
single exception among the boys of the
high school who are not doing well but
who Is a user of tobacco. ' How can this
growing evil condition of affairs be
stopped. Should Superintendent Spren
kle Instruct his teaohers to keep out of
schoof all boys polluted with tobacco,
"personal liberty" would be the howl
right away, , Teachers really have no
right to endure such' unpleasant and
nauseating conditions, and yet, would
it be safe to join in a protest against
them to parents and tbe public? Doc
tors, directors, business men and above
all the public should be aroused to ef
fective action on this subjeot and steps
should be taken tocorreot this growing,
destructive evil which 1b sapping the
enorgy of the minds of the young and
crippling them for life, Insofar as the
measure of future usefulness is con"
cerned, at least. Clearfield Public
Spirit. -

school boys use tobacco. There are
others.

Joint Meeting Of
Medical Societies
Many Pertinent Topics Dis
cussed at DuBois Last
Friday.
Several Reynoldsville physicians at
tended tbe joint meeting of tbe Jeffer
son, Clearfield; and Elk county medical
societies in DuBoU last Friday after
noon. Some Interesting topics were
discussed. Dr. Ball, of Warren, and
Dr. Theodore Killer, of Pittsburgh,
members of the legislative oommlttee
of the State Association, were present.
Killer spoke at length on the subject
of establishing a hospital for the treat
ment of inebriates. At the present
time an inebriate can be sent for one
year to an Insane asylum for treatment,
but it is the aim of the medical profes
sion to get a bill passed establishing a
regular Institution for their treatment.
Another matter that was discussed is
the establishment of a new medical
board. At present tha. different
branches of tbe medical pMieselon have
boards, but It U planned to have one
board composed of members from all
of the branches and .have candidates
take but one examination. Another
pleoe of legislation 'that will be looked
after is tbe securing of a new practice
act, whereby a doctor can be prevented
from practicing because of drunken
ness, cocaine hablt""andorlminalab
ortlon. 1
