Mothers who have young daughters Of
school age should watch their health more
carefully than their studies. The proper
development of their body is Of the first i'm
portance. After the confinement OF the
school room, plenty of out-ofdoor exercise
should be taken. 1t is better that their
children never learn their n, b, c's, than fha,
by Learning them they lose their health.
But all this is sef-evidsni. Everyone
admits it-everyone knows il, but everyone

MAJOR PENMAN HOME.
Triennial Encampment at Pittsburg
Was a Brilliant Affair.

Major T. +. Penman returned Satur-
day night from Pittsburg. He says
that In all the history OF Knight Tem-
plar encampments in this country
nothing has been attempted on so mag
niiicent scale as the great event in the
big city of Western Pennsylvania. The
amount of entertaining" done by the
Pittsburg people was simply bewild-
ering. In fact there was too much OF
it. Great difficulty will be experienced
in approaching the elaboration Of de-
tail, not to mention SURPRISING it in
any city where the triennial encamp-
ment may hereafter be held.
In fact so dismayed were those who
came to Pittsburg intending to urge
the claims of their respective cities that
they We're not utterly inconsolable
when Louieville. Ky, secured the hon
or. In fact that city and Milwaukee,
Wis, We're practically the real con-
testants. 1t is probable that Pitts
burg's surprising royalty OF entertain
ment will result I'm future encamp-
ments being held i'm Washington after
the one at Louisville. The capitol city
Will have enough attractions to secure
a good attendance.
BlttsDurg has felt that she has been
underestimated throughout the coun-
try and she determined to show up her
advantages. To say that she has sue
ceeded keyond her widest expectations
is to express the facts but tamely if
one is to judge by the verdict of last
weeks visitors. Her splendid parks,
her beautiful homes and fine public
buildings are, through the courtesies
of citizens, given an equal place with
her mighty industries.
Major Penman had. by virtue of his
office as captain general of the Grand
Commandery of Pennsylvania, a place
in the National Grand encampment.
He was also, to his surprise. made a
member of the executive committee
composed chiefly of Pittsburg knights
and was presented with a beautiful
jewel in gold and enamels conveying
the symbols of Knighthood and the
emblem of his office. At the triennla'
encampment in Louisville he will be
grand commander of the state OF
Pennsylvania, which will be a notable
distinction for Scranton.
