The great attraction for lovers Of
the game, however, consists In the
splendid tables. There are four for

the peerless Delaney cushion. Imita-

Experts in matches must always have
the Delaney. Billiard places having

Messrs. Howe and Lucas are not

CONCERNING THE BATH.
How to Bathe So ns to De BENEFITED.
Temperature of Water.

u
Few persons pay proper attention
to the rules which should govern the
BATH" said the doctor. MANY bathe
too much; others surrender themselves
to the saving influence of water too
seldom.
"One important rule which is most
often violated is that of rubbing down
after indulging in exercise. ThoU-
sands of persons go cycling every day,
Dr take other vigorous exercise, after
which they willfully or thoughtlcsslN
neglect to remove their undCrclOthcS
and cuergctically rub down with a
coarse towel and n trine of wood al
cohol. More than half the pleasure
In exercise is in the sensation OF rcvvi-
1ication obtained from this dry BATH,
for when damp underwear is replaced
with that which is dry one feels like a
new or newly made person, SO re-
freshed and invigorated has he become
Catching cold is frequently the result
of neglect to properly care for your
self after exercising.
From the ages of 10 to 10 years
children should not battle more than
twice week, although, of course, a
sponge bath should be taken daily. A
good, lingering plunge bath once week
Is sufficient for cleanliness, but less
than that certainly Is not The tenn
pcraturc of the water should be about
30 degrees Fahrenheit, and the best
time for the bath is just before tum.
bling into bed, although this Is not abSo-
lutcly essential. If taken at any other
time it should be subsequcnted by
cold or cool shower.
"From 16 to 21 years the baths for
cleanliness are the same. \ tub bath,
with the temperature of the water
varying between GO degrees and 20 de-
grees Fahrenheit, may be taken every
day on rising from bed. In place of it
n shower bath for about three minutes,
with the water at 60 degrees Fahren-
heit, may be substituted, but when this
shower bath is used the tub bath at
90 degrees Fahrenheit should never
be indUlged in more often than once u
week. TO all adults in good health
these rules apply until the first effects
of age are manifested.
Never take a bath within two hours
of hearty meal. The first effect of
immersion in either warm or cold
water is grave arrangement of the di-
gestive process. y subsequent physlO-
logical effect Is the arrangement of
the entire nervous system, something
which is extremely dangerous to the
bathcr. There are countless instances
of severe Illness and even of death
caused by bathing while the stomach
was full"

Good Roads Found to Pay,

Farmers of Camden, burlington and
Gloucester counties are finding out the
worth of good roads. They haul their
produce to Philadelphia and get better
prices than when they sold at the rail
road stations. More farmers wagons
cross the Camden ferries than ever be-
fore.
Warren county Is waking up to the
Importance of good roads. For long
time the citizens have pointed to the
fine highways in other counties and
complained of the lack of the progress
i've spirit in their own section, one of
the most delightful in the state.
Now citizen has offered to give
$1,000 toward building a macadam
road between HackettStOWn and Ala
muchy and to pay that part of the total
tax chargeable to the owners of abut.
ting property.
The board of freeholders has accept.
ed the offer and has saved the people
about $1,000 With the allowance made
by the state added the cost to the coun-
ty will be small.
This is believed to be the beginning
of an era of road building in Warren.

when Tea Was Dear,

The use of tea is said to have been
introduced into China itself from Ko-
rea about the fourth century of the
Christian era and to have extended to
Japan about the ninth century. Tea
first became known to Europeans about
1910. The first reference to it by ma
tive of Britain is in letter dated June
n, 1915. written by a Mr. Wickham,
which is in the records of the East In

How to Bnke Sweet Potatoes.

The real southern way of cooking
sweet potatoes is to bake them with
sugar. Boil the sweet potatoes until
they are slightly tender then remove
them from the fire, peel and cut them
into slices about quarter of an inch in
thickness. Lay them in a baking dish,
sprinkle with salt and sugar and add
little water. AS to the amount Of
sugar to use, that Is a matter upon
which the cook must use her own taste
and judgment. Add bits of butter on
top and bake slowly until the potatoes
have absorbed the water and have
Drowned.

sloths ana Bats Suspend Themselves
Without ENCrtiou

There is one animal which lives Ell.
tircly in trees, but is able to maintain
Its position during slumbcr without the
least exercise of muscular force. This
is the Stoth, common in the forests Of
tropical America. Its long claws are So
bent that they hook over the branches
and allow the creature to hang upside
down like an animated hammock. Gu.
riouSly enough, the hammock appears
to be Il South American invention and
is universally employed by all the In
dian tribes of the AmazouS Perhaps
the primitive human dWcllorS in this
region took to sleeping in hammocks
after observing the habits of the sloth
The great ant eater, which is both Il
kinSman and fellow Countryman of the
sloth, has an enormous tail, which it
uses in very remarkable manner. |
recently saw two of these strange ami
mails lying together asleep, and they
had arranged their tails 50 clovcrly
that their whole bodies were hidden
from view. Moreover, it was evident
that this Caudal covering would afford
excellent protection from the weather.
for the central solid part of the tails
acted as kind of ridge pole over the
highest part of the slccpcrS bodies, SO
that the long fringcs of hair slopcd
downward on each side like the thatCh
upon Il roof.
Like the Sloths. many kinds of bats
sleep suspended by their hooked claws
without any muscular cXcrtiOn what
ever. Some of the large fruit eating
bats of the tropics, which do not sleep
in holes like the species common in
southern latitudcs. but which hang. sus.
pended to the branches of trccN&n the
open air, adopt a position which it
would be difficult to beat for economy
and comfort. Gould's fruit eating bat
common in the warmer parts of Aus
tralia, SuSpcnds itself upside down by
one hind foot and wraps its body in the
tcntlilc folds of its wing membranes,
which extend right down to the an
kleS. Its shoulders, to which the NOM
branc is attached, are bumped up so as
to act as caves to shoot off the rain,
and when asleep it draws its head un-
der their shelter and nCStlcs its nose
among the warm fur of its chest.

expenditure for worthless article is
also to be found in the fact that they
nre. more eager than formerly to have
the state build good roads and in the
further fact that every proposition to-
ward permanent system of such
roads is closely scrutinizcd by them in
their general gatherings and at their
fircSdpS
The Inquirer has not the slightest
hesitation in saying that when the
finances of the state warrant it Gov
ernor Stone will be found lending all
the aid in his power to the good road
movement, but pending that time the
work should not halt. Unless the town.
ships, counties and towns move in the
matter it must be many years before
there will be anything like system of
roads adequate to the needs or great
ness of the commonwealth.
Montgomery began the work of i'm.
provcmcnt some years ago, and quite
recently northampton also took it up,
their notion being that the roads here
after to be built ought to be perma-
ncnt. The usual repairs will be put
upon the unimproved roads in both Of
these counties, but as fast as the au-
thorities there are able they will re-
place the mud paths by the rock bed
roads, which, once being properly laid,
will ever after prove smooth, economic
and profitable.
1t is with this thought Of permanency
that the counties all ought to approach
this question. The first cost may be a
little large, but in the end it will sure
ly prove profitable.

WANT BETTER ROADS.
Pennsylvania State Commission
Seeking Information.

Seeking Information.
In accordance with instructions given
by the legislature the Pennsylvania
road commissioners are gathering in
formation throughout the state upon
which to base a road measure to be
submitted to the legislature of 1901.
The method adopted bids fair to place
in the hands of the commission valua-
bic data as to the condition of roads
throughout the state and the wishes
and needs of each section.
Circulars have been prepared and
copies have been sent to the State
Grange, the Farmers Alliance. cream
cries, county and local agricultural So
cleticS and others throughout the state.
These contain blank spaces to be filled
in with the desired information. The
commissioners want to know what
kind of road is desired for the country,
what numhcr of miles of good road
there is in each locality, opinions as to
the best means of obtaining good roads,
the system in use in each locality and
similar information. The effort will be
made to frame measure that will be
satisfactory to the masses of the pCo-
pie, and it is believed that the replies
as to present conditions and the other
questions asked will greatly aid the
commissioners.

Bin dinS Material.

Binding material to produce the best
results should be equal in hardness and
toughness with the road stone. The
best results are therefore obtained by
using screenings or spalls from the
broken stone used. Coarse sand or
gravel can sometimes be used with i'm
punity as binder, but the wisdom of
using loan or clay is very much ques-
toned. When the latter material is
used for binder the road is apt to be-
come very dusty in dry weather and
sticky, muddy and rutty IN wet wealth.
