Following campaigns against consumption that have beeii cnrriecl on in the churches of hundreds of and sermons on tuberculosis that have been washed before thousands of con gregations during th.j past year, movement has been starter 1 to establish a permanent tubex-culosis Sunday on which it is hoped that every oiu- of the 33,000,000 church-goers in United States will hear the gospel of health. It is planned to enlist the active co-operation of sis organizations, labor unions, fraternal organizations and other bodies, to gether with the churches in the movement. The aid of leading churchmen in many of the principal denominations has already been offered. All of the hirge inter-denominational bodies, such as the Young Men's Ciiis- tian Association, the King's and Sons, and the various young people's societies are also in syinpjv- rhy with the cim- paign. It is planned that on April 24th 11- berculosis sermons shall lie preached in all the churches of the country.

Literature will be distributed to members of the congregations and in every way an effort will be made to tearii that tuberculosis is a dangerous disease and that it can be prevented and cured. Clergymen who desire to obtain additional information in regard to tuberculosis will be able to secure literature from state and local anti-tu berculosis associations and boards of health, as well as from the National Association. How the Goat Did It. A girl graduate thus described the manner in which a goat butted a boy out of the yard. "He hurled the precious end of his anatomy against the boy's afterwards with an earnestness and velocity, which backed by tho ponderosity of the goat's avoirdupois imparted a momentum that was net relaxed until he had landed on terra flrma beyond the pale of the goafs Jurisdiction." ALMOST BURNED TO DEATH.

A Disastrous Fire in the Russell Horn on Pennsylvania Avenue. A fire that caused considerable excitement and narrowly escaped hav ing disastrous consequences occurred in Tyrone Wednesday, March 2 As it was, one was badly burned, another is in a state of collapse and there is quite a loss on prop erty and furniture. The accident which caused the fire occurred about seven o'clock last evening at the home of Emanuel Russell on Pennsylvania avenue and Fifteenth street. Mr. Russell resided in the Seeger block and was in line with a dozen other frame dwelling that would have been consumed had it not been for the prompt response of -the fire department.

Mrs. Russell is an invalid having been confined to her bed for a number of years. Their daughter, Mrs. Elizabeth Zimmerman was going down stairs, carrying a lighted kerosene lamp when some how she tripped and fell. The lamp fell from her hand and in falling exploded, setting fire to her clothing.

Badly frightened Mrs. Zimmerman rushed out of the house and when she reached the street, fell in a faint. Her father heard her screams, and took in the situation at a glance and Jollow- ed her with a rug. This he wrapped around her and smothered out the flames. Meanwhile, Mrs.

Russell hearing the fall and screams and seeing the flames in the hallway, coming rapidly nearer the bed on which she lay, made a desperate effort to get away from what she thought was sure death, She tried to get up, but as a result of her effort, fell from the edge of the bed to the floor and lapsed into unconsciousness. There her husband found her when after saving his daugh ter's life, he returned to look after his wife. Willing hands helped carry her across the street to a neighbor's nome and there cared for her. The fire next claimed attention, but it was beyond auj a bucket brigade could do, and an alarm brought the fire department to the scene, after they had been called from the Fourth ward where the alarm first seut them. 'me firemen worked like Trojans and their work was effective as well lapid.

Both the water and chemicals played an important part in confining the fire to the Russell home. Had it not been so the entire block would have gone up iu smoke and a number of families would have been homeless. But the firemen were conquerors ana in less than an hour had the fire out. The second floor of the Russell home was practically destroyed by fire and the water necessary to put out the fire ruined the fist floor. The furniture was a total loss.

Mr. Aussell carried an insurance of on th-! furnitnre and this will compensate him, at least partially, for his lo-ss. Mr. Seeger had insurance on the build ing. Medical attention was given Mrs.

Russel and Mrs. Zimmerman, the former was in a state of collapse, and the latter had a number of painful burns. Her hair and eye brows were singed and she had numecus burns on her body. She is not however dangerously burned. Later in the evening both were removed to the home! of Mrs.

Russell's son George, on I Eighteenth street. There they will recover from the accident that would undoubtedly have been a terrible tragedy had it not been for Mr. Russell's presence of mind and prompt action in the emergency.

company has been issued a new book of rules and signals with structions to learn every paragraph the two little black pages.

THE REBEKAH'S CELEBRATE. Twentieth Anniversary Held on Thurs day Evening. Many Present.

On Thursday evening the members of Lady Viola Rebekah lodge No. 213, I. O. O. F.

celebrated their twentieth anniversary. The entertainment was one of the most delightful affairs ever held by this organization and was a complete success in every particular. A splendid program of recitations, speeches and readings occupied the first hour and a half of the i.venh,£'s Lime, after which the members of the order and their guests enjoyed a luncheon! After all hid fully satisfied their hunger they returned to the lodge room where games of all kinds were indulged in and during the wee small hours of this morning the hapuy assemblage broke up and the merry makers departed for their homes declaring tliat the tweu- tieht anniversary was one of the most enjoyable affairs of the winter, The splendid music for this occasion was furnished by the Allegheny Gateway orchestra. Miss Gertrude Herzog was present and delighted the members of the order and their guests with several select readings. Her efforts on this occasion were appreciated by every one present.

A Timely Protection. Everyone knows the after effects of La Grippe are often more dangerous than the disease. So often it leads to pneumonia, which a weakened heart action makes fatal. La Grippe coughs that strain and weaken the system yield quickly to the healing and strengthening qualities of Foley's Honey and Tar. gold by J.

A. Copen TYRONE NEEDS A HOSPITAL. The Sewing Club Will Contribute Five Hundred Dollars Toward a Fund. On Friday evening Mrs. J.

Howe Stevens delightfully entertained the Young Ladies' Sewing club at her home in Farmers' and National Bank building. During a little business session of the club, the ladies agreed to raise by gifts and organized effort the sum of five hundred dollars towards a fund for the estab lishment of a hospital in Tyrone. This s-plendid offer -allowing so closely upon the magnificent offer made by the venerable Samuel Berlin should be seriously considered by the citi- y.enfe' of Tyrone. Several others have agreed to join the movement and will contribute from twenty-five to five hundred dollars. Other towns not as large as Tyrone are supporting hospitals and are le- living much good from these institutions.

Belief on te, Lock Haven, Jersey Shore, Philipsburg aad Clearfleld all have a home where the sifk and injured can be given immediate medical attention. The Belief onle hospital was started with less money has already been oriered to start an insM- union of this kind in Tyrone and with the assistance given by the btate. this home for the sick has become one ol' the best in Central Pennsylvania. Recently the Lock Haven bcapital burned to the ground but in a shore ti.ut a magnificent structure was built on the site where the former hospital stood and today they cau accommodate a hundred patients. There are several excellent locations in Tyrone for a hospital that can be secured at a low figure and now since these splendid offers have tiein made by Mr.

Berlin, the Sewing Club and others, it is up to the people to grasp the opportunity and build a home for the sick and injured. Let the people express their sentiment by communicating with the Herald. At a recent meeting of the Neptune Steam Fire company No. a hearty vote of thanks was tendered the citizens who contributed toward the purchase of their new horse which completes the company team, a pair steeds which cannot be excelled, for match and merit in Tyrone, The citizens were prompt and generous in contributing and the company mem bers feel grateful to them, Public.

The Amateur Contest. The amateur contest at the Bijou 'ast week was not one of the best but positively the best contest ever presented at this theatre. Every act was a feature and deserviag of credit. The house was packed to the doors and the sale of seats closed long before the performance started. Space will not permit going into details, but Altoona carried away the laurels.

Billy McAteer is a wonder and wrought down the house. The Tyrone sextette also made a hit. Manager Schaibley had nine good acts on the bill and everybody went away saying it was the best they ever heard Another contest will be announced in the near future. A Night Alarm. Worse than an alarm of fire at night is the metallic cough of croup bringing dread to the household.

Since the beginning of the term little scraps have taken place between the principal and some of the largor male students when some of the lada took matters into their own hands and attempted to run the school. In this they were sadly mistaken, and when, occasion demanded the guilty parties were punished. The punishment seemed to have little effect, however, and for several months many battles have been fought in the High school room. Sometimes the teacher was victorius, but Tuesday's fight was disgraceful to say the least. The disturbance was the result of the suspension of several of the High school boys who took part in a pitched battle with the principal.

Two of the suspended pupils had called to determine the extent of their punishment and they were followed by two more. Mr. Houseworthy, the principal, thinking the boys contemplated some concerted action, as the lads were prepared for a' disturbanre, swooped down on them with a club and proceeded to drive them from the building. He had struck several blows when one of the boys succeeded in grasping the club and landed a blow on Mr. Houseworthy.

The principal relinguished his hold on the club and pulled a pistol from his hip pocket. All the pupils in sight beat a hasty retreat from the vicinity aud the street near the school was soon filled with hysterical girls and exclt ed boys. The High school took a holiday and the School Board took action on the affair at a special meeting on Thursday night. Professor Houseworthy the defendant with "carrying con- was arrested. The information charges cealed weapons with the intent therewith, unlawfully and maliciously to do injury to other persons." Mi'.

Houseworthy waived, a hearing and entered bail in the sum of $300 for his appearance at court. Mark Tnis Down As Fact. Every young lady should mark it down as a fact that if she flirts ami associates with "pick-ups" sho will soon have no others for associates. No matter how unjust it may be there will always be a suspicion that thost who are making acquaintances in this way are not as pure in heart and mind afe they ought to be. It would be unjust to say no pure minded girls flirt They do and many of them losa their purity by so doing.

Others, though not so unfortunate, subject themselves to suspicions which every woman should be above. Leonard Watson, of Snow Shoe, Intersection, was a visitor in Tyrone on Tuesday. Harvey Johnson, of Altoona, spent Tuesday afternoon with relatives in Tyrone.
