MONDAY, JUNE 27, 1919. BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TODAY.

If we speak of strength, Io He is strong Job 9:19. TheNationToday Br HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. THE average individual seems to be fully persuaded that you're not "doing anything" for a cold or sore throat nnless you attack it locally. He gets a great deal of mental satisfaction, ifotBnichof a cure, from kainything in the way of drops, sprays, gargles, vapors, er medicated salves which can be applied directly to the tissues.

As a matter of fact, local treatment Is often of value in disorders of the nose and throat, but in just as many other cases It only serves to make the condition worse, if Improperly employed. Penicillin and Sulfonamide Nowadays, many nose and throat Infections are treated with penicillin and the sulfonamide drugs. When used locally, in sufficient amounts, thesi preparations may be of some help if they are brought into contact with the germs producing the trouble. However, when the germs are lodged deep within the tissues and the tissues are iwollen and congested, local treatment with penicillin and the sulfonamide drugs is often found by the doctor to be useless. In such cases, the sulfonamide drugs may be given by mouth, and penicillin given by injection into a muscle, as well as by mouth.

But these should only be used under the doctor's direction. Mnt nil infections of the nasal sinuses need treatment with penicillin and the sulfonamide drugs. Sometimes, just as much good may be done by irrigating or washing out the infected areas with a salt solution. 200 Lewisburg Bicycles Given Scotch Lite Tape Scotch lite tape applications have been made to approximately 200 bicycles in Lewisburg in the program being cooperatively carried out by the Royal Stationary Store and the Susquehanna Motor Club. Boys and girls of the Linntown sector of East Buffalo township are requested to be present with their wheels at the consolidated school at 9 o'clock Tuesday morning, where the work will be continued.

Another Lewisburg session will be held at the North Ward school at the same hour on Wednesday morning. Lewisburg work Friday was carried out by Martin J. Nolan, of the store; Robert D. Gift, executive secretary of the Motor Club, and Denver R. Dyer, director of the summer recreation program.

Lewisburg borough police assisted in inspection of the bicycles and the instruction of safety means. Each bicycle owner is given a pamphlet, published, by the American Automobile Association, that shows regulations governing operation of bicycles and traffic rules. Boys and girls must acquaint themselves with these and then sign a safety pledge before their wheels will be taped. Mr. Nolan stated today that effort will be made to complete the work this week.

In event of rain, Tuesday and Wednesday, new dates will be announced. Bicycles presented for taping should be clean. Earl A. Gill, director of the East Candidacies in Bloom, Once again the time is atnand for candidates to circulate petitions in order to havtheir names placed on the ballot for the September primary Thus begins one of the processes of democracy that will have its. climax in the November election.

It is hardly necessary to point out-that unless there is an acceptable list of strong candidate's the voters will have no real opportunity to make desirable selections. And this means simply that the fundamental principles of the free and open primary must be safeguarded. It cannot be too strongly emphasized that the lists are open to all who aspire to office, so long as they qualify under the simple requirements of citizenship. The purpose of the primary is to permit the rank and file of voters to choose from all those willing to serve the men and women they prefer to represent them and to handle their business. In the townships, supervisors, school directors, es of the peace and other officials will be named.

Some boroughs and cities will fill the offices of chief burgess and mayor along with councilmen, school directors, tax collectors and magistrates. Courfty offices will be at stake throughout Pennsylvania along with one of the appellate court judgeships. In each instance, the selection will determine in some degree the kind of government the people may anticipate. Next year another list of offices will be filled, the following year still another group and so on. The task' of selecting capable and conscientious officials, therefore, begins now, in the circulation of candidates' petitions.

Those citizens who have the notion that anything less than a presidential or a gubernatorial election is unworthy of their consideration need to awaken to the fact that democracy demands constant interest in government and careful attention to such details as representative primaries. And making certain that there will be an acceptable list of names from which to choose on primary election day is of the utmost importance. Reducing Death 8 Swath. Time was when the principal concern of the community at this season of the year centered about providing adequate life guard service at bathing spots, along with resuscitation equipment for use in drownings, and search lights and grappling hooks to be used in the recovery of bodies. In recent years the emphasis has been more heavily upon swimming and life-saving instruction in a program originated and developed by the Red Cross.

Sunbury, Se-linsgrove, Lewisburg, Milton and other nearby towns have shared in the benefits of this effort, and this year Northumberland has been added. One of the results has been a sharp reduction in the number of water fatalities that at one time were considered more or less inevitable. The unmistakably gratifying aspect of this changed situation is the sparing of lives. The need continues for lifeguards, resuscitators and so on, for the reason that accidents are at times unavoidable. It is well, however, to underscore the wisdom of that ounce of prevention which the Red Cross has employed to end a senseless loss of lives, and to express the hope that similar wisdom might be applied to the elimination of other hazards.

The Inevitable Payer. A proposal whereby appropriations would be made from the national treasury to finance the presidential campaigns of the major parties has been discussed with interest in Congress during recent weeks. The sum of $400,000 to each party has bee.ij suggested, the intent being to end the raising of funds among business interests, recipients of government favors and the macing of jobholders on the public payroll. Such a plan is, at first blush, a bit disconcerting. The reaction i3 likely to be: With government subsidies for nearly everything else, must there also be one for The soundness of the intent involved is, however, unmistakable, and the plan seems to have some merit.

The truth is that the people, in one way or another, SCHOOL Professor Outside the Classroom BY JAMES MAROVV Washington, June 27. (AP) Worry about Communism has crept into the schools and colleges and a number of top educators say a Communist shouldn't be hired to teach. That doesn't deprive him of intellectual freedom, they argue, for such a man surrendered that freedom when he became a member of the Communist party. Dr. James B.

Conant, president of Harvard, was one of 20 outstanding educators who made that statement. But immediately they faced this next, obvious question: What of the after-school, out-side-the-classroom activities of some professor who, although not a proven communist, may have taken part in something where the Communists had a hand, such as a meeting? What should be done about him? That question was raised this week about a couple of Harvard professors. Dr. Conant took a stand on that by citing as a model a statement made in 1947 by a former Harvard president, A. Lawrence Lowell.

It's on the "professor outside the classroom." Lowell made the statement in his annual report for that World War I year, taking note that the war had raised questions of academic freedom and freedom of speech by professors. "The gravest questions, and the strongest feelings, arise from action beyond his chosen field and outside of his classroom. Here he speaks only as a citizen," Lowell wrote. "By appointment to a professorship he acquires no rights that he did not possess before; but there is a real difference of opinion today on the question whether he loses any rights that he would otherwise enjoy. "The argument in favor of a restraining power on the part of the governing boards of universities and colleges is based upon the fact that by extreme, or injudicious, remarks that shock public sentiment, a professor can do great harm to the institution with which he is connected.

"That is true, and sometimes a professor thoughtlessly does an injury that is without justification "In spite of the risk of injury to restraint upon what professors the institution, the objections to may say as citizens seems to me far greater than the harm done by leaving them free. In the first place, to impose upon the teacher in a university restrictions to which the members of other professions, lawyers, physicians, engineers, and so forth, are not subjected, would produce a sense of irritation and humiliation. In accepting a chair under such conditions a man would surrender a part of his liberty; what he might say would be submitted to the censorship of a board of trustees, and he would cease to be a free citizen "Either the university assumes full responsibility for permitting its professors to express certain opinions in public, or it assumes no responsibility whatever, and leaves them to be dealt with like other citizens by the public authorities according to the laws of the land." 9 Take Examination For Dornsife Mail Carrier Nine applicants took the Civil Service examination for the position of rural mail carrier at the Dornsife post offk-e Saturday morning in the Civil Service room at the Sunbury post olVice building.

HEALTH TPnrmerlv manv -nosa DreDara- Hons were administered in oily solutions, but this has been discontinued to a great extent because of the danger that some pi the oil may get into the lungs to produce a form of pneumonia. Preparations of silver salts also have some danger when used in the nose. Their long use may lead to absorption of the preparation and permanent discoloration of the skin. Contract Blood Vessels Nose conditions are often treated with substances which contract tha blood vessels, thus relieving eon-rentinn and nnenintr the nasal Das- sages.

Such preparations, if used for too long a period of time, not only lose their effectiveness Dut aiso may produce enough irritation to make the condition worse instead oi better. These symptom can be re lieved by stopping the medication completely, at least lor a period oi time. It is seldom necessary or wisa to use nose drops. Insofar as the throat is concerned, the sulfonamides taken by mouth, nr npnirilltn nronerlv administered, are often helpful. Washing the throat with a salt solution, and rest in bed may be helpful in the treatment.

Infections of the nose and throat, of course, should be treated under the directions of a physician, who will select the most effective measures for the individual case.

SOKOLSKY THE DOLLAR The British are annoyed that they have too few dollars, al-thought'they ought not to complain, as they get so many of them for nothing. Americans ought really to complain that they have too many dollars, for each dollar is worth too little and, therefore, more are required to make them serve. For instance, at the end of 1948, one United States dollar bought about 43 cents of raw materials as compared with 1935139 average. A similar dollar bought only about 46 cents of construction and less than 45 cents of labor. The consumer's dollar was worth about 61 cents on that base.

Nothing in these figures, collated by the National Industrial Conference Board, says anything about quality either for goods' or services. As the quality deteriorated, the consumer got less for his money. This managed currency of ours has a wide fluctuation, depending upon what anyone will take or give for it. For instance, using the same 1935-39 base, the last time labor was willing to sell its services for a dollar that equalled a dollar or more was in 1936. In 1937, the labor dollar fell to 95.9 cents and it has been going down steadily.

It now takes more than two dollars to buy a dollar's worth of labor. That reflects itself in all costs, including everything that the laborer's wife has to buy for her household. Naturally, the laborer asks for more dollars as his costs go up, but every time he does that, costs go up higher. If this process is not broken somewhere, the laborer might have to be given ten dollars for one dollar of work. In other words, the United States dollar will then be worth a dime, and that would show up all around, in every price.

At such a point, the printing press would have to be used to turn out dollar bills fast enough to meet the demand; Congress fusses over the question of building and wants' to poiir more billions into building public expense. Few politicians are willing to face or tejl -the truth, which is that neither private nor public capital can afford to do much building when the construction dollar and the labor dollar are worth less than 1 50 cents. That only means that it costs too much to build and whereas the government might take the loss and pass it on to the tax-payer, spreading it out thin over the whole people, building has been made unattractive for private capital because it is difficult, if not impossible, to make anything like an adequate return on investment. For this, government policy, particularly the Fabian Socialism of Chester Bowles, is responsible. In fact, the sensible investors will buy government bonds, which pay off so handsomely that they make all other investments unsound which is very bad for the national economy.

This constant sale of high-interest government bonds is a Socialist method for drying up reservoirs of private capital. Phil Murray, Dave Dubinsky and other labor philosophers would solve this problem, by what should be called the John L. Lewis dodge. Instead of demanding more dollars as wages, they demand dollars for social service. In any account of costs, it makes very little difference whether the amounts are cited as wages or social services, gifts or bonuses.

The amount has to be added to the cost of purchasing labor and, therefore, brings down the labor dollar in terms of what it nets in the final result. This dodge merely shifts payments from the individual worker to the labor union and makes the worker more dependent upon the ipse dixit of the union official. It also duplicates government social services; triplicates the process of the employer also provides some social services. And all these costs have to be loaded onto the purchasing value of the dollar in terms of labor, and effect the price. It is about time that we discarded Keynesian economics, which were based on the formula that two minus two equals four, and the fantastic notions of the New Deal economists, who are now led by Leon Keyserling, the author of the" so-called "Fair Deal," a linguistic Shenanigan.

IL Brothers Married 7 In Dual Ceremony In a double wedding ceremony Saturday evening at 6 o'clock in the Lutheran parsonage at Urban, Miss Cleo A. Keiffcr, Dalmatia, R. D. 1, became the bride of Stewart R. Leitzel, Herndon, R.

The Bureau of Business Research at the Pennsylvania State College said the decline is closely paralleling the national trend. It was the fourth straight drop in as many bureau said the Index for the state dropped to 177, which is 18 points or nine per cent below that of a year ago. Using the years 1935-39 as 100, the index is based on bituminous and anthracite coal production, employe hours in -manufacturing and industrial power sales. Building contracts in May were vary strong, the highest from 1936 to date when records were started, the bureau said. It also noted that industrial power saies were the second best on record.

Anthracite coal production, tow-ever, was the lowest for the period since 1945 and bituminous coal since 1946. Carioadings were the lowest in three years. Employe hours in manufacturing and factory employment was the lowest reported since 1940 with nearly all- manufacturing groups and manufacturing areas showing year-to-yeai losses. The bureau said employment now has fallen for five consecutive months, the net loss in that time being 127,000 workers oix 11 per cent. Steel production in the Pittsburgh district, the Bureau noted, was trie poorest since 1946 and the rate of capacity dropped 7.1 points from the April level.

Menu For Today: Mammoth Marrow By HAL BOYLE New (AP) Tirtd of eating the same old things? Want a new flavor thrill? Then why not try some tasty marrow from a wolly mammoth aged for 10,000 years in nature's northern icebox? You'll never forget it. Charles R. Knighl has remembered the sensation for 25 yeras. He is an artist famous for his pioneering paintings of pre-historic life. "About a quarter of a century ago the American Museum of Natural History got some bones and flesh from a woolly mammoth trapped in the Alaskan ice perhaps 10,000 years before," he recalled.

"We were curious as to what it would taste like, so we tried some of the marrow. It tasted exactly like rancid graase." Nobody asked for a second helping. Knight feels he was- luckier than some Russian scientists who dined on the flesh of another woolly mammoth caught long ago in the Siberian deep freeze. "They got awfully sick," he said. All the world's a graveyard to this 74-year-old artist who perhaps as much as any one man has helped the past come alive.

Since 1894 he has specialized in painting prehistoric men and animals, and he was the first to do scientifically based on reconstructed fossils. His large-scale murals hang in a dozen well known natural history museums across the country, and his work was collected by such nature lovers as the late J.P. Morgan, Governor Pinchot of Pennsylvania, and historian Charles A. Beard. His fifth book, Man," soon will be published.

His 55-year study of the earth as it was in the days of the dinosaurs has convinced hirn modern man doesn't nave much to nbrae about. dx "Ancestral man has perhaps a million Knight, "but he- didn't assume his present manlike shape until the cro-magnon man of iiuiope, some 30,000 years ago. "And cro-magnon was just as good a man as we are, mentally and physically. The cro-mag-nons averaged 5 feet, 9 inches tall, but some were 6 feet 3 or 4 inches. "You could bring a cro-magnon man to New York City today and after you had shown him a few wonders, he'd be able to get along all right." He'd be able to appreciate tele vision as well as the next cliff dweller.

i Knight is convinced that man-' kind's biggest defeat is his failure to develop spiritually. "With all our advances we. haven't advanced fpiritually, as we can and should and must," he said. "I don't think that spiritually we are better than cro-magnon. "Confucius, Christ, Mohammed i These and other messiahs have told us a thousand times what to do.

We know what to do but we don't do it. I don know what to make of modern man. He throws away his possibilitiese. He 's a deliberate folo the worst kind of a fool." But Knight thinks there is little use for man to trust thai nature-I will bail him out of the trouble he is getting himself into. "He will destroy himself unless he returns to more spiritual ways.

He's a goner. "Nature never helped any animal out of a hole. She won't help man out either. And he has problems like any other animal."

SewageTreatment Program Nears $350 Million Total Harrisburg, June 27 (AP) Pennsylvania communities will have to pay out $350,000,000 for construction of sewage treatment works under the states' clean streams program. The State Sanitary Water Board estimates this will be the cost of building new treatment plants and rehabilitation cf existing plants in communities throughout the commonwealth.

The board said about 300 sewage treatment works, serving persons, are now operating in the state. Another 500-municipalities ara under notice to prepare plans for treatment of sewage for the first time. They em brace a population oi some 5,000, 000 persons.

When misfortune strikes pay the cost of politics. Recent broad inferences that the farm program, involving an expenditure of unestimated billions, would be relied upon as the principal hope for electing a Democratic Congress next year is but one of many examples of this fact. If it is necessary to subsidize the political campaigns, so be it. Under such a setup the people would at least know what they are paying for. At the same time, however, there should be a vigorous demand that men in government cease using the public treasury in a subtle game of buying the people's votes with handouts.

Keep Going. Among the many practical philosophies which men have invented to ease the way through the world, none is more serviceable than the phrase, "Keep going." In a hundred different ways, it meets the need. It is astonishing ow much distance we can cover if we just keep going on. An example was the island-hopping strategy of the nation's armed forces in the battle of the Pacific. What in the beginning seemed a hopeless task paid off handsomely in the end.

Even so, many an advance in -fife is measured bv yards, feet and inches instead of miles. But the goal is finally reached. The biographies of great men and women, as well as the story behind many an institution tell us that. Whether it is a Pasteur, an Edison or a Curie, the account is the same to the point of monotony. These people had to meet ridicule, indifference, neglect, disappointment and defeat, but they kept goirrg on.
