"Hidden Causes of Diseases in our
Homes" by Geo. G.. Croft M. d., of
Bucknell University, Pa, member Of
the State Board of Health. Health is
correct running of healthy body.
Butter making in a diseased household
may SOW the seeds of disease. A milk
man supplied sixty families There
was typhoid fever in his family and As
casesappeared soon after in the families
of his patrons.
Our personal cause of sickness is
overwork. Often work too long and
not sleep enough. We must have rec
reation. Many worry themselves to
death. Improperly cooked food is
fruitful of disease. Fruit is not on the
table as often as it should be. Many
can not obtain sufficient food. If one
kind of food is eaten without change
for length Of time craving for some
thing else is created: many seek to
satisfy it by the use of strong driuk.
Exposure, lack of proper clothing,
unCleanness, stimulants, incorporate
habits, irregular eating, are all causes.
Damp houses, underground cellars
and cellar kitchens are fruitful of dis
ease. Cellars should be at least hall
out of the ground and have large win

Hazleton is a City.
SALOON KEEPERS MUST PAY A LICENSE
FEE OF FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS.


Judges Woodward and Lynch have
handed down an opinion on which the
question is decided as to whether the
saloon keepers of the new city of Haz.
Teton are to pay $500 as a city or $I5o
as a borough. The court decides that
Hazleton became a city when the let
tiers patent were granted and that con-
sequently all saloon and hotel keepers
must pay $500 per year into the coun-
ty treasury. Exceptions have been
filed by the attorneys for the liquor
men who claim that Hazleton is not a
city under the law until the officers
elected last February are installed
The case will be taken to the supreme
court.

a solitary figure was seated; upon his
head was high hat, beneath which
came the intermittent glow of a pipe in

where we have exceptionally pretty ankles

and were any of US to venture on the
beach at any of the popular seaside re-
sorts with our limbs bare from the knee
downwards, an outcry would be raised
against us on the score OF injured NOR

of grave improperly, and expose our
selves to be held up, not alone in con-
versation, but also in print, as persons
who have offended public decency end
conventionahty. People with whom
have recently been discussing the subject,
claim that the strict ideas which prevail
here with regard TO bare ankles and feet.
constitute q remnant Of the old sump-
tuary laws and notions of our puritanical
forefathers. That is all very well. But

If it were something hideous and improper,

all the more timely, as the sea- bathing
season is in full swing just now, not only
in the United States. but also in every
maritime country of Europe. In France,
Great Britain, at San Sebastian in
Spain, on the Italian seashore, on the
coasts of Germany, Scandinavia. Holland
and Belgium, even the most prudish
women, as well as those who have
the greatest pretensions to elegance,
invariably battle in the sea in costumes
that leave the limbs bare from the knee
downwards. No one ever dreams of dom

although there are many, especially in
the northern portions of Europe, who
might do so with advantage, and were a
woman to appear on the beach of Trou-
vile thus arrayed, she would Immediately
be set down as afflicted with some malady
of the skin. In the shrimping and
prawning parties which are all the vogue
from Deauville and Dieppe all along the
northern coast of Eqrope to the German
seaside resort of Norderney, the ladies,
both young and old, show no hesitation
in removing their shoes and stockings and
barring their legs to the knee, in order to
tramp along in the water, exploring the
various corners and crevices of the rocks
in search of the tiny crawfsh. 1t is con-
sidered perfectly natural and proper; there
is not the slightest suspicion of indecency,
