Self praise is no recommendation, but
there are times when one must permit
person to tell the truth about himself.
When what he says is supported by the
testimony of others no reasonable man will
doubt his word. Now, to say that Allcock's
Porous Plssters are the only genuine and
reliable porous plasters made is not self
praise in the slightest degree. They have
stood the test for over thirty years, and in
proof of their merits it is only necessary to
call attention to the cures they have effected
and to the voluntary testimonials Of those
who have used them.
Beware of limitations, and do not be
deceived by Misrepresentation. Ask for
Allcock's, and let no solicitation or ex-
plsnstion induce you to accept substitute.

The following letter from prominent

Mr. EDlroR;-From the fact that moth
ing has been done in the matter. ara we to
i1ter that the Philadelphia and Reading
Coal and Iron Company approves or en-
dorses the company store system, as carried
on under the boss family system ?
Whether it is fact that employees of the
company have been influenced by a boss
or superintendent to leave stores where
they have been dealing for years to buy at
stores owned by relatives or superinten-
dents; whether a BOSS or superintendent
can so use his influence without placing
himself under obligations to such emplove.
whether boss or superintendent can
faithfully, impartially and honestly do his
whole duty to the company when he
places himself under obligations to those
under him; whether inferior Workmen
have been kept in good jobs and at steady
work to the prejudice of the best interests
OF the company whether men have not
said that they deal at certain stores be-
cause they haYe good Jobs snd want to
keep them, can be ascertained by the
officials of the Coal and Iron Company if
it will appoint some one to investigate the
matter who is not in sympathy with or
under obligations to boss or superinten.

1t is reported that Baron Hirsch, the
great Jewish benelactor, will arrive in New
York some time next month. If this re-
port is true, and we have every reason to
believe that it is, every one Of our Jewish
citizens in this county will pay their re-
spects to this great philanthropist, Our
friend, Max Reese, the excursion agent,
would have no trouble to get up cheap
excursion on some day after the Baron ar
rives and it would pay him big, too.
