Cold Weather Care

1. Pack the lungs, breathe in
until they are full, hold on awhile
then exhale slowly Do it out doors.
Repeat it two or three times, and
several times a day.
2. Bathe in soft water if at night
in warm water followed by a dash
of cold and brisk rubbing if in the
morning, tepid water.
3 Eat moderately, watch the
effect, and if gummed up and slug
gish eat light food. More people
take cold" by eating immoderately
than by exposure to the atmosphere.
4 For sore throat gargle with
borax and water; for a cough a
small piece of borax in the mouth is
good.
5. Camphor tea will produce an
insensible perspiration if "eold" is
seated. Mix thoroughly a teaspoon

Better Pay for Teachers

A bill has been introduced in the
legislature by Representative Snyder
of Sehuylkill county to fix the mini
mum salary for public school teach
.ers. 1t provides that on and after
June 1, 1904, no teacher shall receive
less than $40 a month and any
district falling to comply with the
act shall forfeit its state appropriation.
School statistics show there are six
teen counties in the state that pay
their female teachers an average of
less than $50 month. There is but
one county in the state, Fulton,
which pays less average wages to
female teachers than Pike, and
strangely enough both these counties
are strongly democratic.
One township in Fulton county
receives from the state SI,0Os.14 and
pays its teachers 81 ,059.5O that is
apparently the people there only raise
S0l.36 to pay teachers.
The movement to increase the
wages has its inception in the fact
that competent teachers cannot be
procured for the wages paid. We
think, however, that the minimum
fixed by the bill is too high and that
it would bear too heavily on taxpay-
ers in small counties like Pike s35 a
month would be better and should
enable directors to secure good teach
ers. If the bill should pass it may
have the effect in some townships tc
compel directors to centralize the
schools. This would be an advant-
age to education and a benefit tc
taxpayers.

much alive and will have its annual
supper on Friday evening, Feb. 20.
1t is to be hoped that the weather
man will have pity on the boys and

evening. It would be a good plan
for the proprietor of the hall to send

piano 1octored up before the event.

Often we hear the question "where
does all the money come from for
the support of the four churhes in
this town." Three of the churches
at least need one thousand dollars
each, which looks like a large sum
in small community like ours.
The churches are all up to date and
still more improvements are con-
templated. Why not improve our
school buildings? A good school
is as much needed in a community
as a church.

Statehood Bill

Senator Quay's latest move in the
statehood fight is the introduction Of
the Omnibus bill, as amendments to
the agricultural and to the sundry
civil Appropriations bills. AS these
amendments have been referred to
the committee on organization, con-
duct and expenditures Of executive
departments, Of which Mr.. Quay is
chairman, the report will be favor
able. His idea Is that the opponents
ofstatehood win thus be compelled to
submit the question to a vote, or
allow these appropriation bills to fail.
In the latter event an extra session
would be inevitable.

ade at once has not msterialized.
President Castro's proposal to pledge
80 per cent. of the customs receipts of

the claims of all creditors is the
stumbling block. England and Ger
many take the stand that they should

debts due other nations to be paid
after the allies participating in the
blockade get their share. This is
supposed to be merely a subterfuge to
delay matters in order to give the
revolutionists time to overthrow the
government which is cut off from
supplies. AS the former are appar-
emily able to get war materials, de-
spite the blockade, the design of the

Rev. n. E. Foss on Woman Suffrage
Rev. Herbert E. Foss, Pastor of
Arch st. M. E. Church, Philadel
phia, Pa, when asked his views of
woman suffrage replied:
II know of no good reason why
women should not have the full
right Of suffrage. Woman's claim
is generally conceded to be a just
one but it is said that she does not
know enough about public affairs to
make her safe voter, but If her
success in other and most varied
fields of the worlds activity have
any meaning it would not be long
before she. would become amply
equipped for intelligent citizenship.
"With the most insinuating fat
terry her male protectors tell her
that her demand is entirely just and
that her intelligence and purity
WOhiu hOubDADo1 AAAb bllo SOuS VI pun
lie affairs, but that her womanly
qualities must not be menaced and
her pure instincts must not be
violated by the atmosphere with
which they have surrounded the
ballot box.
"The righteousness of this excuse
may be seen when We remember
that the very politicians who are so
careful of the womanly qualities,
and pure instincts of woman, are
often hand in hand with the men
and the institutions that seek for
moEey OF influence to debauch
young men, and pollute the very
springs of womanhood.
''It is q most significant fact, that
where woman have had the suffrage
for a considerable period Of time, it
is difficult TO find respectable ep-
position to its continuance.
