Be Careful of Milk.

The authorities are tracing the
spread of typhoid fever to infected
milk. In dealing with this subject the
Philadelphia Inquirer says: '"The facts
seem clear aud are in accordance with
the known fact that milk is the best
"host' in the world for the develop
ment of almost every sort of bacteria.
1t has been found that inside of day
under favorable conditions one million
bacteria will form in a drop of milk
the size ofa pin-head. 1t seems impos-
sible that such minute creatures should
be dangerous, but nothing is more
certain than that they are the authors
ofmuch of the disease which aff1icts
mankind. The purest milk is that
which Is direct from the COW. If the
milk is kept at about fifty degrees the
development of bacteria is slow and is
proportionately more rapid as the tenn
perature rises until 100 is reached,
when they are all killed"

Serious Wreck.

Last Monday morning about two
O'Clock, a serious wreck occurred at
the bridge west of the Borough. The
immediate cause of the accident is not
clear in the minds of the railroad men.
yet it is presumed that one of the air.
brake pipes bursted, which caused one
of the cars to 'kick" back, parting the
train. Just before entering the bridge
one of the cars changed its position
and attempted to cross the bridge
crosswise, three or four other cars pill
ing into it. The bridge was fearfully
torn up and fully hundred feet brok-
en- down, cars dumped down the en-
bankment and grain and hay scattered
to the four winds. All trains were de-
layed for several hours. The bridge
was repaired promptly and at 4:3o D.
M, same day trains were passing over
1t. Three wrec 'ews and about one
hundred men "omptly at work,
under the direcI.> ven Mccarthy
and bridge builder Youtz. Very for.
tunately no one was injured in the
wreck.

Labor o. ganizations.

The most fundamental mistake of
labor organization is in attempting to
place and keep all men who do the
same kind of work on the same level.
Two workmen side by side in the same
shop may be of different value. One
may be active, diligent, skillful and in
every way far superior to the average;
the other may be lazy, unreliable, un-
skillful, and the poorest man in the
shop, and worth less than half as much
as the best. To insist that these men
must have the same wages is to put
them on the level of machines. This
does more than anything and every
thing which the unions complain of to
take away the individuality, indepen-
dence, and valuable personality of
workman. 1t makes him merely one
of mass, no better than the poorest
1t is popular scheme with shiftless,
lazy, incompetent workmen, but it's
effect is to take away from them, as
we'll as from better men, an incentive
to excellence. This discourages the
best men, irritat tes them with sense of
injustice, destroys the manly ambition
for excellence which has hereto raised
the American workman far above the
level of similar service in other lands,
and degrade their service toward a
level of mediocrity This is a fatal
mistake. 1t lowers their value and
their manhood.
An unfortunate outgrowth of this
theory is the notion that workman is
guilty of a fault towards his associates
If he makes himself more valuable
than they are. 1t is hoped that ideas
of this kind are not very prevalent,
but they are certainly too common
among workmen, and they unquestion-
ably tend to the degradation of labor.
Hope for the improvement of the con-
dition of workmen can be fulfilled only
by increasing their value.
Criticisms of labor unions because of
such mistakes of doctrine or of man
agement frequently go to the extreme
of denouncing all such organizations.
This is unjust and unreasonable.
Labor unions are probably necessity.
They are at any rate, capable of very
great service. They have accomplish
ed already great amount of good in
spite of the mistakes they have made.
1t is the highest degree important,
therefore, that they be wisely managed
and based on true nciples.-Cur-
wensvile Mountaineer.

lucky man but never knew it.
He did not have to crease his trous-

There was no one to ask him "Is it
hot enough for you."
He didn't have to push lawn
mower when it was ninety in the
shade.
He had no relatives to visit him in
the summer.
Eve didu't have a new hat every
change of season.
He had no trolly cars or automobiles
to dodge.
He didn't have to join union to
hold his job.
He knew more animals than even
Ernest Thompson Seton.
His children was not always asking
for new shoes.
His wife never attended bargain
sales.
She never raised Cain when he came
home late at night, but always let him
| in herself when she was Abel.
He was perfectly contented with his
job until the walking delegate came
along and told him, he was not getting
all that was coming to him, and he
had better help himself to an apple.
which he did, and he discovered that
while one swallow did not make a
summer, one apple made a fall.-Ex-

from W. A. Irwin Esq, of Durham.
The order was for 5000 gallons of

on the large Irwin Mills and their cot

County.
Many of the leading paint manufac-

and it speaks volumes that the prefer
ence was given to Devoe lead and
zinc, which is undoubtedly the fore
most paint in this country to-day. -
