l am afraid there is considerable
truth in this accusation.N l have
often noticed how very few English
girls can manage to hold their heads
up without looking self-assertive,
keep their shoulders fiat without
looking stiff, or hold the chest well
forward. And very, very few have
thoroughbred action about the
knees. 1t is delightful when one
comes across a girl who sails along
with absolute grace, holding her
shoulders back, her chin up but not
out, and her elbows in their natural
positions; not squared back in the
queer fashion of the hour. Look at
the fashion plates There you will
see the elbow position that makes

The deft-fngered woman who
evolves smart creations in her own

the fact that a big bow or chou OF

little corsage coats sent out with the

Regardless of Age.

The kidneys are responsible for more
sickness, suffering, and deaths than amy
other organs of the body.
A majority Of the ills affecting people
to day is traceabe to kidney trouble. 1t
prevades all classes of society, in all eli
mates, regardless of age, sex or condi-
ton.
The symptoms of kidney trouble are
unmistakable, such as rheumatism. neu-
ralgia, sleeplessness, pain or dull ache in
the back, desire to urinate often day or
night, profuse or scauty supply.
Uric acid, or brick-dust deposit in ur-
inc are signs Of clogged kidneys, causing
poisoned and germ-filled blood. Some
times the heart acts badly, and tube
casts (wasting of the kidneys) are found
in the urine, which if neglected will re-
suit in Bright's Disease, the most dan
gerous form of kidney trouble.
All these symptoms and conditions are
promptly removed under the influence of
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. 1t has q
worldwide reputation for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
No one need be long without it as it is
so easy to get at any drug store at fifty
cents or one dollar. You can have a
sample bottle of this wonderful discov-
cry, Swamp-Root. and book telling all
about it, both sent to you absolutely free

Truant Officers Troubles.

These pleasant days are causing lots
of trouble for the truant officer. Young
America would rather roam about the
woods or shoot marbles than apply him
self to his studies and cases of hockey
are extremely prevalent.
William f. Young, who was lately elect
ed as the Tiuant Officer by the School
Board, reports that it is just about i'm
possible to get the children to school
for frequently when he discovers a case
of non-attendance the parents resent
any exercise authority on his part and
influence the young ones so that they do
not heed any warnings or threats.
In the Second ward the non-attend-
ance of children is said to exceed any
other district, During last week some
of the industries of the town were visit
ed and in several instances childran were
found at work who were two wears un-
der the age of thirteen, at which time
the school laws allow them to quit school
to accept employment.
The question of enforcing the school
laws is hard one for the School Board
to solve and will no doubt result in that
body having finally to resort to string
ant measures.

Ninety eight Per Cent.

There is fascination about big pro
fits to a business man. But the conser-
vative and cautious trader prefers to
have the lesser per cent. of interest and
the larger per cent. of safety in his in
vestments. There is no business man
who would not consider it sound pro-
position to invest in an enterprise in
which absolute loss was impossible and
which offered ninety-eight chances in a
hundred of a rich profit. The statistics
Of cures effected by DR.. Pierce 5 Golden
Medical Discovery show that ninety
eight per cent. of cases of weak lungs"
can be absolutely cured. Almost if not
all forms of physical weakness may be
traced to starvation. Starvation saps
the strength. The body is just as much
starved when the stomach cannot ex-
tract nutrition from the food it receives
as when there is no food. Weak
lungs, bronchial affections, obstinate
coughs, call for nourishment Golden
Medical Discovery supplies that nour-
ishment III its most condensed and as
similable form. 1t makes weak lungs
strong by strengthening the stomach
and organs of digestion which diges
and distribute the food, and by increas
ing the supply of pure blood.

Funeral of Thomas E. Deem.

The funeral of the late Thomas f.
Deem Esq, which was held from the
family residence on Fast Market street
NJ Monday afternoon was one of the sad
dest and most impressive occasions
known in this city in many years.
Death is a heavy cross at all times, but
when one so young, so ambitious and sc
full of life is taken from our midst, the
blow seems to fall much harder on a
community and we are harshly remind
ed of the frailty of mankind. That Mr..
Deem was man highly respected in this
city and widely and favorably known, is
shown by the large attendance at the
last sad rites Monday.
The beautiful burial services of the
Episcopal church were conducted by
the Rev. Erskine Wright at the house
and also at the grave after which the
Masonic fraternity concluded the OBJ
sequies. The beautiful floral tributes
were prettily arranged at the cemetery.
A magnificent "Gates Aiar" surmounted
by white dove, sent by the Penn Social
club, handsome pillow sent by the
Masons, and many cut flowers, express
ed the sympathy of many friends to the
bereaved.
