BEL AIR SCHOOLS sED.-Several cases Of
scarlatina and dlphthera having occurred in
and around Bel Air, the Academy and the Grad
ed School have both been closed, as a precau
tionary measure, TO prevent the disease from
spreading This action was wisely taken by
the trustees OF these institutions, upon the ad-
vice of prominent physicians, and will no doubt
have the effect desired. No alarm, however,
need be felt by parents, as the cases reported
are few in number and of very light character

FAIRvILLE, Chester Co., Pa, Aug.
20.--Having read In your paper Of the
18th q very interesting article on the
benefits OF protection, thought you
might allow me 10 make some remarks
upon or rather inquiries concerning It.
You give the price Of wheat Quoted
from the Milling World In the year 1916
as at A cents per bushel. In 1886 at
so cents. In the year 1916 my father
came to this country from England land
soon after his arrival received the ap-
continent OF teacher Of the academy at
Smyrna In your State remem Der his
say Ing that -four either in that year or
In 1917 was sixteen dollars per barrel.
II You could obtain from the Milling
World or from any other source the
price OF -four at that time 1t would be
Interesting and throw some light upon
the question OF protection or q freer
trade. The truth of one side or the
other of that vexed question being as /
conceive OF the highest Importance to
the farmer. For II -four went down
while wheat went up 1t would show
that other elements entered into the
problem beside that Of the projection OF
industries outside of farmins.
Beside, in the prize Of butter, which
Is quoted at 20 cents per pound, 1t is 80
and 40 In other places, so that it is evil
dent that the question Of protection does
no: enter there. I remember also that
my father said that at the time spoken
of there was not q stove OF any kind in
the lower parts OF Delaware, and that
those who had advanced far enough to
want one had to come to Wilmington
to get ten plate (wood) stove, which
was the only kind make. Protection
has undoubtedly aided the development
Of work In iron, though the stimulation
has created 80 much competition az at
press Mt to render 1t improbable to the
maker of iron. Hoping that the oppo-
site claims of the two systems of tariff
protection aud tariff for revenue only
may be fairly investigated. l am re-
spectfully, ALEX PRIEsTLEY.
NoTE.-The price of wheat WAS very
high during the war which ended in
1915. but great depression followed
soon after the establishment OF peace
and prices Of all kinds OF produce and
other articles went down TO ruinoul
figures. We have not, however, AM
reliable data on hand at present in re
gard to the matter.

The Decay of Reverence.

A sign of the corruption of French
society (says Continental contemporary
is the absence OF that esteem which Ia
generally shown for the dead. In every
German humoristic paper which is pub
lshed in Paris, the announcement may
be seen that notices of deaths are exclud-
ed from the subjects on which contribu-
tions are received. This natural shrink
ing from tests on so solemn a matter as
death and burial seems 10 be entirely alb
sent in some classes OF Paris society, and
the Boulevard press is often full OF such
unseemly tests. Some time ago an artist
draped his studio in black, thus giving to
1t the appearance of mortuary chamber
dance was arranged in it, at which the
dan GERS, dressed in the deepest mourning,
took refreshments at a catafalque, and
supper was served on coffin. Again, az
dust cart was passing along the Boule
yard Haussman. which is situated in the
most elegant quarter of Paris, number
of young Partisan gentlemen appeared
suddenly at the door of one of the clubs
where they had probably been breakfast
ing and followed the dust cart in pro
cession, with their heads uncovered, as Il
is the custom at funerals. The eompari
son which this proceeding suggests is mo-
flattering to the esprit Parisien.

A Healthy Body and a Clear Head

II indigestion, constipation and bilious
ness torment the body, the head cannot
be clear. These disorders react upon the
brain most hurtfully. and produce cioudi-
ness in the organ Of thought not experienced
By healthy man. Happily these brain op.
pressing maladies may be entirely dispelled
by that peerless Alternative, Hoste,ter's Stom.
ach Bitters, which cheers, refreshes and in
vigorates the brain and nerves. while IL reg
ulates the organs of digestion, assimilation
and bilious secretion. 1t expels the morbid
humors which poison the system through the
bowels and urinary PASSAGES, and exerts
powerful invigorating influence as well. Its
cathartic action is never irritating, violent OF
pain ful, but even, natural and progressive
AS an appetizer and sleep promoter, the
Bitters is unrivalled; 1t mitigates the fntir
mites OF age, relieves the ailments peculiar
to the gentler sex, arrests premature decay
and builds up an enfeebled physique.

CHICAGO, Aug. 23.-J. B. Murphy,
master workman of District Assembly,
No "a, Knights of Labor, dropped dead
at his home at 10 30 last night.
Mr.. Murphy was one of the best known
Knights In the CITY and was especially in
the public mind Just now by reason of
his recent action in suspending two en-
tire assemblies of Knights, owing to their
communistic membership. 1t was after
the Hsymarket that the administrative
lodge in this city. No. "A, determined to
drive out Socialism from the ranks of
the Knights of Labor. The two assem-
blies most feared were the Coopers', No.
2309 and the Mixed Assembly, No. 1907.
The Coopers had leader In George A.
Schilling, a pronounced Socialist; No.
| 1907 had Parsons now under sentence of
death for murder, John Gruenhut and
| others. These men knew the advantage
of remaining allied with powerful and
respectable organization having the sym.
pathy of the reading public. When the
bomb exploded in Haymarket Square the
Knights of Labor everywhere demanded
that the name of the order be in some
way redeemed from the faint of dynamite
The result was the giving t. the public o.
the resolutions of July 2. Anarchy wal
denounced, and the order openly con-
demned the work of the Haymarkst as
sassins, and j. Murphy, the master
workman OF District "a, suspended thu
two assemblies and cut them off from all
benefits of membership in the order
The assemblies sppealed the case t.
the National Executive Board. Tha
body, it is stated, appointed Mr.. Carlton
their grand lecturer, to proceed to Chica
60 to take testimony in the case. H
, came ostensibly to to investigate the
Mccormick troubles and gave that mat
ter some attention. Mr.. Powderly, him
self, it is reported, came secretly to TIN
city and stopped with friends that h
might personally examine into the caus
of the trouble ar d the remedy.
. The result OF the investigation is no
| yet published, but an endorsement OF Mr.
! Murphy's action it expected would b
t given by the result of the election OF dele
:, gates to Richmond on Wednesday. MI
Murphy's death will be greatly lanented
