Getting Up at Five.

Getting UP at Five.
o, when you go to bed at night at ten,
It seems so easy to get up at five!
You are so wide awake and active then,
And every nerve and fiber is alive.
But, o, when five o'clock a. IN. has come,
How different the undertaking seems!
OF firm resolve it takes maximum
To get you separated from your dreams,
The birds are chirping noisily outside,
The morning sunshine through the win,
dow streams:
You're sorry now to throw the shutters
wide,
All, O, how downy and how soft your
mattress seems!
Upon your pillow drowsily you turn,
To shield your eyes from the awakening
light.
For one more hour of lethal rest you
yearn,
Although you've slumbered sweetly all
the night.
Your eyelids are so heavy that they fall
Whene'er you take sleepy look around;
You do not want to wake yourself at all,
Or you would leave the mattress at a
bound.
You struggle feebly with your conscience
then,
Till overcome by sleep, you cease to
strive
And yet, when you are going to bed at
1t seems so easy to get up at FIVE!

Ashes for Cabbage Plants.

The cabbage is plant which requires
lime, and the lime. which most ashes
contain is therefore an important ben
eft when they are applied to this crop.
The very best place to SOW cabbage

buried over a few weeks CT months
before. The ashes have by this time

mixed with it. Such places Will be free
from weeds, as the fire will destroy

most cases the rule for making the
household healthful. We all get far
too little sunlight. The healthiest peo-
pie are not merely those who are most
in the open air, but who are on the
water in summer, and their faces are
painted the color nearly of boiled lob
ster from the reflection of the sunlight
Into them. A few weeks trial by the
seashore will satisfy any one of this
fact. It is well enough to have some
trees little distance from the house,
where the family can retire at midday
during the hot weather, eating the fam
lily dinner from tabdes spread under
the trees. In this way the house may
be kept dark and cool during the heat
of the day without injury to health
American Cultivator.
Broad Leaf in Grain.
No good farmer wants to see young
small grain such as oats or barley start
out with unusually broad and dark
green leaves. A somewhat lighter shade
pleases him better, for there will be
less danger that the straw or grain will
break down from overweight of straw,
in whidh case it is almost sure to rust.
Nature in part provides against this by
drawing heavily from water in the
soil, so that towards the time of ripen-
ing the plant will be pinched by lack of
moisture. A dry time for week or
two before harvesting, as well as at
harvesting, is therefore an advantage
to Ill small grain crops. After the
grain heads out it is rarely injured by
lack of water.-EXchange

ed a mild sensation. The mental pic

to say the least, a little startling, and
the comments called forth were pro-
vocative of much mirth. 1t is needless
to state that the proposition was de-
clined, although the management was
assured that such SHOW" would pack
the theater and reap precious dollars
for worthy object, so whatever may
be the character of the entertainment
which, it is hoped, will be given, it will
not be minstrel show.

WOMAN'S COMING JUBILEE.
Semi.Centenniai Anniversary of the
Woman Suffrage Movement.

A notable semi-centennial anniver-
sary is to be held in Washington, d.
c., Feb. IA to 20, by the National Wo-
man Suffrage association. Fifty years
ago when a meeting was called at
Seneca Falls. n. Y, TO discuss "Wo-
mems Rights" the world was startled.
The name "Women's Rights was quite
the proper term to use in this early
time, as really women then had al
most no rights, or opportunities. The
advocates of this reform by their con-
stant agitation and protests against
the semi-slavery reform by their con-
slant agitation and protests against
the semi. slavery of women have ac-
comrlished SO much that today the
terms "Womens Rights" and Equal
Suffrage" which is the direct issue at
present. AS Pennsylvania women let
us be jubilant over our many acquired
rights and privileges.
Since 1913 we have gained the con-
troll of our own property, the power to
collect our own wages. to keep bank
account, and to make a will; the own
ership of the shoes on our feet, the bon
nets on our heads and the clothes we
wear, the joint custody and services of
our children, the privilege to attend
high schools, colleges and universities,
to act as notary publics, to serve as
school directors, trustees or corpora
tors, and perhaps the greatest privilege
o; all is the freedom to embark in any
occupation we choose from preacher,
doctor, lawyer, and teacher, to mer-
chant, blacksmith, cook and dressmak-
er.
Notwithstanding all the melancholy
predictions made by persons opposed
to a larger liberty for women, the trade
of home making has not been deserted,
as homes still exist, and the mother
love is as true as ever. Through this
| wider opportunity for work and study,
women have become more intelligent,
| independent and cOmpanionable, better
| fitted to make the home attractive, and
wiser in the care of their children.
While joyous over our gains we must
not be mindful that the state consti-
tuition and laws still discriminate
| against us. our work is not ended un-
til women enjoy all the rights and
privileges of full citizenship. All are
| invited to join in this jubilee, either
at home or in Washington.

President Pennsylvania State Woman

yesterday afternoon. About seventy
members were present. Arthur f. Bost-
wick, the librarian of the New York
free circulating library, and president
of the club presided.
In the discussion DR.. John s. Bill
ings, the director of the New York
public library, was the principal speak,
er. Dr. Billings said, in part;
"At an investigation made by the
state board in Iowa three years ago it
was found that six cases of scarlet
fever were undoubtedly communicated
through circulating library books.
Other diseases may be communicated
in the same way. There is not much
danger of this from the edges of cards.
although they are foul and filthy, and
undoubtedly filed with bacteria, more
especially with those of skin diseases.
In order to prevent any possibility Of
the diseases through books it is neces-
sary to destroy the bacteria.
I'VE cannot use the method of ap-
plying 210 degrees Fahrenheit of dry
heat. That would curl the leaves and
injure the bindings. Much less can We
apply 212 degrees Fahrenheit of wet
heat. We cannot apply a solution of
corrosive sublimate or zinc chloride.
The fumes of burning sulphur are both
inadequate and undesirable.
1.-TWO years ago when in Philadelphia
I suggested to one of the fellows I'm the
laboratory that it would be desirable to
seek a new method. FOrmalne was
known to be a destroyer of bacteria,
and he set to work on that, This can
be purchased in drug store, or can be
made by burning methyl alcohol. A
saucer of formaline, book which had
been infected with the bacteria of diph-
liberia, another with scarlet fever and
another with erysiples We're placed un-
der a bell jar. The experiment showed
that one cubic centimeter of forma-
line to 300 cubic centimeters of space
would thoroughly disinfect any book
in fifteen minutes"

Two years after, Mrs. Grinnell, sti1l
vigorous, writes another grateful LETT
ter in praise of this great remedy that
has done so much for her:
Dec. II, 1897.
Wells, Richardson Co.:
Gentlemen-Paine celery compound
still keeps me from weakness and sick
ness. 1 do not use it continually, but
take it occasionally, and as a cOnse-
quence have not been sick for a long,
long time. l recommend Paine's celery
compound to every one in need of a
remedy, and hope every old person will
use it and be saved sickness and suf-
fering. Yours very truly,
Mrs. Emyle Hyde Grinnell.
Paine's celery compound is especially
valuable for recruiting the strength
and spent energies of men and women
advanced in years. 1t is the one prep
aration considered worthy the name of
a true nerve food and blood remedy by
physicians throughout the country. 1t
is prescribed by them in every State in
the Union to tone up the system, regu-
late the nerves and restore health and
strength.
Nothing in the past has ever ap-

weakened nerve tissues and giving
strength to the tired body. In severe
cases of persistent headaches, dyspep-
sia, neuralgia and sleeplessness, due to
nervous feebleness, Paine's celery COM
pound has a record of rapid and last
ing cures that embrace every city and
town in the wide sweep of the United
States.
Its remarkable power over disease
lies in it's active replacing of worn-out
parts by new. healthy ones, and its
healing and purifying action among
the most minute tissues of the body.
1t searches out the weak parts at once
and sets to work to build them up. The
tired body feels the strengthening eff
fects of Paine's celery compound forth
with.
Give the nerves a chance to recover,
and the entire body will regain it's
health and strength. Take Paine's cell
cry compound.

Think of it! More than a century
old!
And her old age is not a calamity.
Mrs. Emyle Hyde Grinnell, who two
years ago at the age of SO, sent to the
proprietors of Paine's celery compound
an unexpected and unsolicited testi-
monial now two years afterward (when
she has lived in good health beyond a
century, again writes with her own
hand another hearty letter Of thank
fulness for the wonderful good this
great remedy has done her.
Mrs. Grinnell was born in Benning-
ton, VT. July 8. 1896, and is today living
with her daughter, the wife of Martin
Fowler. of Colchester VT, a beautiful
town near Fort Ethan Allen. Her
father was a farmer and hotelkeeper,
and she lived upon the farm until her
marriage.
Mrs. Grinnell rises at daylight, works
about the house, and when the weather
will permit walks out doors. Her eye
sight is good, and she spends many
hours crocheting and doing fancy work.
She keeps abreast of the times, and is
remarkably well informed. She de-
clares that she does not feel any older
than she has for years, and if people
half her age enjoyed such health as
she they would consider themselves for
turate. She has had seven children.
four boys and three girls, two of whom
are living today.
In 1895 she wrote to the proprietors
of Paine's celery compound:
Paines celery compound has been
my health preserver during the last
few years. Whenever l have an ache
or a pain a few doses of this remedy
gives me relief and strength. Few wo-
men even though much younger than
/. enjoy as good health, for my appe-
tite is natural, my sleep refreshing.
and I can walk quite a distance with
cut feeling tired. People are surprised
at my vigorous appearance and activ-
ity, which 1 believe is the result of my
using Paine's celery compound. 1t has
cured me of constipation, and is of
great help to me when over tired
Gratefully yours,
Mrs. Emyle Hyde Grinnell.
