THE CHRONICLE There was another uproar here on May 23d, but I escaped it not only because it happened in another part of town but because I hitched up and went to see the new dam above Mainsville, Sunday afternoon and consequetnly was not here. Decoration Day, May 30, passed off quietly owing partly to the rain.

This has been the wettest May here since 1889, the year of the Johnstown flood. Corn in the low ground is drowned and garden vegetables nipped by the frost. Cherries are very scarce here much scarcer than at first supposed. Mrs. Jane Miller passed her 81st milestone on the 31st.

She is now the oldest resident of this vicinity. Pasturing stock along the roads which had been nearly abandoned for some time, has been resumed; it does not pay people who own land to keep stock, so it cannot pay persons to herd stock on the roads as the season of pasture is short at best but then it can annoy others and destroy trees growing along the roadside and that something to such as want to destroy and disturb and encroach on someone else's eyesight.

Some of the prominent men enjoyed themselves fishing at Big Pond on Tuesday afternoon, but did not hear of many fish being brought home. One of the party said he was very lucky. Only threw his line in once and succeeded in landing a fine fish. So they all concluded to give Paul Snoke the fish making a very fine string amounting to the number of ten, averaging in length from 3 to 6 inches. We have been taught that the tooth brush should be as indispensable from youth to old age as a man's shadow.

Indeed the latter might be dispensed with without jeopardizing one's position in polite society. The primary purpose of the tooth brush is excellent, but it is well remembered that it is intended to clean, the instrument itself should be beyond suspicion in this regard. The majority of disease germs find their way into the human system through the mucous mmbrane of the nose and mouth. If the teeth are not frequently and properly cleansed these germs or bacteria will multiply in cavities or where particles of food have become lodged between the teeth. These minute germ breeding centers should be removed by vigorous brushing but when the desired result is accomplishnot in turn lodge in the intricacies of ed care should be taken that they the tooth brush.

If they remain there they are later retransferred to the mouth. To guard against this the brush should be thoroughly cleansed before and after using in scalding water if this is obtainable. If not, in some nonpoisonous antiseptic wash. At least wash the brush with soap and water and rinse thoroughly. Care should be taken not to keep a brush where it is exposed to dust and dirt.

If there are several members of the family the same receptacle should not be used for the brushes as the germs of disease may readily be trans mitted from one brush to another ins this manner. It is well to make use of white thread or dental floss to remove particles from between the teeth which are difficult to remove with the brush. It is from fragments of food that lodge between the teeth that decay often starts. When you visit the dentist you expect and demand exceptional cleanliness in the care of his instruments. See that your own dental utensils are immaculate.

CHILD KILLED BY AUTO Edna Sprow, 7-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Sprow, was run over and killed by an automobile on the Gettysburg pike in front of her home near the Mt. Union toll gate. The little girl was playing and in trying to escape being hit by an automobile coming toward her, ran in front of the car owned by Geo.

W. Shetter, of Harrisburg, going in the opposite direction. When the chauffeur saw the child he tried to stop the car but the distance was too short and the machine struck the child, knocked her down and ran over her head causing instant death. Coroner Maclay, of Chambersburg, held an inquest over the child's body and the jury rendered a verdict exhonorating the chauffeur from blame for the accident. Initial steps for the celebration of the four hundredth anniversary of the Reformation in 1917 were taken at the biennial convention of the General Synod of the Lutheran church, IN session in Akron, Ohio, last week.
