have a serious time following their
avocation in Paris, where BARRIERS and
hair dressers are now obliged by the
police to take sanitary precautions in
carrying on their business. Elabor-
ate regulations have been sent out
requiring them to use only nickel
plated combs, to substitute pulverizers
for powder puffs, to cover the hair
cut off with sawdust and have it re-

THE Republicans of this county
---and the Democrats as well, for that
matter-have been considering the
advisability of adopting some other
method than that now in vogue in
making nominations. Under the
present delegate system it costs a
candidate a small fortune to secure
the nomination, and the nominee is
not always the choice of a majority
OF his party. At the Republican
convention of Lackawanna on Tues
day committee was appointed to
prepare a plan, to be submitted at
next years convention, for a system
Of making nominations by popular
vote. What is known as the Craw-
ford system is doubtless contemplated,
which is the only way of making
Nominations to which any political
party should consent. In Lancaster
county, where Republican nomina-
tions are made by popular vote, the
system is entirely satisfactory, and
when a man receives a nomination
there he is known to be the choice of
a majority, or at least of a plurality,
of his party. 1t is the only just and
fair way, and the plan cannot be
adopted too soon in Schuylllill county
for the good Of both political parties.

Postal Savings Bank.

The Chicago Record has prepared
bill providing for a Postal Savings
bank system, which will be presented
at the next session of Congress. The
purpose of the measure is to secure a
banking system that will be available
for all classes and in all towns of the
country where a post Office is located.
The bill authorizes depositors, over
12 years of age, also married women,
to keep an account that win not be
subject to attachment. No deposit
less than one dollar will be received
and two per cent will be paid in in
terest. The deposits are to be limited
to $500 per year. The advantages to
be derived from such a system are OBJ
vious and the bill should receive the
endorsement of every man and
woman in the country.
The scheme is not a new one.
Postal Savings banks exist in differ
ent countries of the world and in all
places they have been the means of
promoting thrift and industry, be
sides strengthening the stability Of
The national government which finds
in the reserve funds ready and ma
terial assistance when government
bonds are marketed. The system
furnishes absolute security against
loss, which in itself has been one OF
the most discouraging features to ac-
eumulatiOn of money by wage earners.
1t educates the masses in the bank
ing business and gives greater assur-
ance against want and poverty. II
discourages speculation, and reckless
expenditure of money, and educates
the young and unframed to a knowl-
edge OF the use and value Of money,
The bin further provides that each

Laymen to Insist on Equal Represents

Lnymen TO Insist on Equal Ropresent-
ution In the General Conference.
Chicago, Sept 1O.-The Times Herald
says. Rebellion has broken out in the
Methodist Episcopal church. The lay
men demand equal representation with
the ministers in the great quadren-
NAL legislature Of the church. Three
times have the ministers voted on the
question and defeated It, and the lay
mon have lost patience.
"The church win be brought face to
face next week with revolt that Will
probably overshadow the question of
women delegates in the general con-
ference Representatives of Pennsyl-
vonia and New Jersey conferences is
sued an address for the change Lead
ing laymen OF Indiana have called a
state convention to meet at Indlanap-
oils next wednesday to consider the
question. A lay convention, represent
ing the Cincinnati conference, sent
greeting last week to the Indiana con-
voutiau and urged the calling Of ma
tional convention.
"'The laymen Of the central Illinois
conference have called a convention to
meet at Canton Sept. II, and that meet
ing viii probably take action in the
matter Another big lay convention
viii be held in Baltimore next month,
and If not forestalled by the Indianap-
oils convention It is expected to issue
a call for a national convention Of
Methodist laymen, to make plans to
bring the ministers into line"
