LIFE

Life is only a delicate line
The filing out is ours
The lattice round which clings the vine
That bears the lowly flowers
Nothing but pure, white line,
We make it what we will
The thoughts that round our soul entwine
Are either good or i'll.
Only a tiny, faultless line,
When it leaves the masters hand
II guided by his love divine
Twill gloriously expand
To nobly enfull the fair, white line,
Should be the work of each
So that our lives may ever shine
And Gods love daily teach.
Today is ours The fair, pure line
Tonight, what will It show9
What is the record2 Yours and mine,
Oh badly soiled, trow.
To follow close the pure white line,
Is often hard know.
When everything seems TO combine
Your faith to overthrow.
But he who gave the pure, white line
His aid viii ever lend.
just go TO him. He'll not decline
70 help you to the end.
Hen help YOU keep the pure, white line
So pure and fresh and fair
Twill be so easy to define
Without a thought OF care.
Then take and keep the pure, white line
Your sins shall be forgiven.
Endure what comes, today is thine
And leave the rest with heaven.

FOREST RESERVATIONS
Win Make Excellent Homes foi
Sufferers With Puimo-
nary Disease

In the May number OF Public
Health, a monthly journal of sani.
tation, Or. j. I. Rothrock, commis-
sioner Of forestry, publishes an
article on the Highlands Of Penn
sylvania in Relation to Pulmonary
Tuberculosis. " He shows the great
benefit invalids suffering from that
disease may derive by living in the
open air both summer and winter
on some Of the hish lands of the
"Statee Forest Reservations. He
has tested the out door treatment
in the Monroe and Pike county
regions and in the Adams and
Franklin county region of the South
Mountain and in both places the
experiments have been eminently
satisfactory. He cites a case a man
who weighed in July only lis
pounds and was far gone with con-
sumption. He lived in the open air,
subsisted on milk, eggs and fresh
meat, in winter slept in a room open
on all sides, in all kinds of weather,
often shoveling snow from the floor
of the room, and in the spring
weighed 140 pounds and had taken
almost no medicine. The treatment
has been continued and he is now
practically a sound man. The genial
doctor is quite enthusiastic over the
matter and thinks that a wonderful
healing power lies in these eleva-
tions and they may prove of inesti-
mable benefit to sufferers from pull
monary troubles.

1t is Of great Importance that the
public as well as those of the pro
fession should be made aware that
"next to scarlet fever, measles is
the most serious Of the diseases of
childhood in its after effects. Deaf
ness is a not uncommon result and
consumption is another. Gonzales
cence from measels Is the most
important stage, hence the need Of
watchfulness. Again, If possible a
child should be protected from this
disease, as the older it is when It Is
attacked the better able is it to resist
the disease. After fourth year the
mortality is much less, hence the
advantage of preventing such at.
tacks."

Floods and Fire. psvn.tats

up into several million dollars.
Thousands of animals were drowned
and tons ana tons of freight and
express matter which had been ao.
cumulating at the stations for sew
eral days on account OF the foods
were destroyed. Fires broke out
and could not be fought and all
along the Kansas river the destruc-

number Of lives lost will likely never
be known. People were forced into
tree tops and to roofs Of houses and
many starved and finally fell into
the raging waters or were burned.

The Kind to Grow

For some years a potato, semi
aquatic, and originally grown IN
Uruguay, has been cultivated in the
neighborhood Of Marseilles. NJ.
Heokel, director OF the Colonial
Institute, of that city, has made a
report to the French minister Of
agriculture on the subject, in which
he says that the growing of the
potato in question, which he calls
the "commersoD, is a most prom
ising industry. 1t has gradually
become sweet, large and mealy un-
der cltivation, defies frost and has
eatabls foliage, the cutting of which
does not diminish the number of
tubers. Moreover, the CONNER
son" keeps well, it does not rot, rats
90 not eat it, and the plant is not
subject to potato disease. But what
IS most wonderful of all is that the
common potato bug quickly dies
after feeding off its foliage.

The clearing Of the political situa-
tion the acquiescence Of Senator
Hanna to the inevitable, following
the presidents bold and characteristic
announcement that he who is not
with me is against me, have all
combined to constitute an incident
which is the occasion of the greatest
satisfaction to the presidents friends
as it has demonstrated his wide
spread popularity beyond all question.
The reluctance of shrewd democratic
politicians to permit the use Of their
names as presidential possibilities is
also regarded as a most encouraging
sign, as it clearly indicates that the
next democratic candidate will, in
their opinion, be but a vicariOus
sacrifice on the altar of democratic
harmony.

The most startling and sensational
development in the postofiice scandal
has occurred within the past week.
August w. Machen, general superin-
tendent Of free delivery, has been
dismissed for malfeasaDce in Office,
has been arrested, charged with
accepting a bribe estimated at S22, 900
and has been released on bail to the
amount Of $4,000. The arrest Of
Machen breaks the ring which has
long looted the government through
postofice channels, believing them
selves secure because Of the political
influence which they had created by
a lavish use of the federal funds.
Other and almost as sensational
arrests are promised in the near
future and il is believed the end is
now in sight. The detection OF
Machen'ser eriminality was accomplish
ed by what Postmaster General
Payne describes as the clevere5t piece
Of detective work in his experience.
No word was breathed to any Official
by Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General Brisiow, regarding the tFai
which the Inspectors had struck, until
the chain Of evidence was conplets
and Machen had virtually broken
down under The searching e6techisine
10 which re had been subjected BY
Brisiow and his assistants. The facts
were then laid before the postmaster
general who signed the required
request for q warrant for Machen'.
