WALHALLA, d. q. )
WEDNESDAY,. SEPT. 81. 1904.
KEEP THE GOOD WORK GOING.

We are glad indeed to note the fact
that the town of Walhalla has taken a
decided step forward in the matter of
municipal Improvement, and we take
this early opportunity to commend the
spirit that has prompted our Mayor and
City Council, our business men and G.
III. Mayhem in working to get improved
streets and sidewalks. The proposed
work is to be of substantial and perma-
nent form, and its cost will not be more
than 10 per cent of its worth to the town
tered the agreement to bear equally the
expcnse of Improvement. Every outlay
of money in such manner represents q
paying investment, and we would like to
see each year sections of permanent paw
ing put down. To be sure it comes high
at first, but it is the cheapest in the end
Enough money has been spent on our
streets for "patch work" during the
past twenty years to have put them in
excellent and substantial shape, 80 that
now the cost of keeping them in repair
would have been mere nothing. We
are glad to see this beginning at perma-
nent work. 1t is the beginning of the
use of true economy in municipal affairs
We think it would be n wise plan for the
present municipal authorities and their
successors to put in sectio.. Of perma-
nent work each year on the streets and do
as little repairing as possible consistent
with good streets of the old type. Wal
halla is growing and it is but simple
justice that she should be given such
municipal improvement as will keep her
well up in the lead with the best towns
of the State.
There is also need Of individual effort
for public enterprises We have made a
fair beginning in securing the establish
ment of the knitting mill with local capi-
tai, and there should DO other enterprises
started. Each adds to the business of
tho town, and each increases tile popula-
ton Of the place or gives employment to
those who would otherwise be idle.
Every one helps the town.
There is no question as to Walhalla's s
greatest need just at present and that is
a new hotel building, equipped with
modern conveniences, built on a twen-
tieth century plan and calculated to
draw patronage. Walhalla is naturally a
good hotel point, summer and winter, and
with the proper kind of building the
hotel business could easily be doubled in
a very short while. Get your heads and
your purses together, business men, and
look into the matter of securing good,
modern hotel building for Walhalla. You
will find it will pay both directly and in
directly.

Emergency Medicines.

1t is a great convenience to have at
hand reliable remedies for use in cases
of accident and for slight injuries and
ailments. A good liniment and one that
is fast becoming favorite, if not a
household necessity, is Chamberlain's s
Pain Balm. BY applying it promptly to
one. third the time usually required, and
as it is an antiseptic, it prevents any
danger of blood poisoning. When Pain
Balm is kept at hand sprain may be
treated before Inflammation sets in,
which insures quick recovery. For
sale by j.. w. Bell, Walhalla; Seneca
Pharmacy and w. j. Lunney, Seneca.

THE ACTION OF VINEGAR.
It Renders Them More Digestible.

Good vinegar contains acetic acid This acid has the effect of softening muscular fibers and rendering hard boiled GEES more digestible, says Med ical Talk for the Home.
 A small quantity of vinegar added to meat, such as corned beef or boiled beef, salmon, lobster or vegetables with hard fiber, such as cabbage and turnips, renders these foods more digestible.
 People have generally added vinegar to these foods purely as matter of taste. It was with no thought that it rendered the food more digestible.
 This is another case where the nat ural appetite of the people have led them in the right direction. Long, long before the chemist had discovered that it was good thing to add vinegar to this sort of food the people were. doing it. Not because they Thew anything about the chemistry of ths subject, but because following their natural appetite they were led in the right direction.
 If nature were allowed little more opportunity in suggesting what is good for food and what the patient should have in times of sickness, a great deal of human suffering would be averted.

The Lobster,s Claws

If you take the trouble when you save up money enough and purchase a lob ster, to notice the claws you will observe that each is peculiar, anu quite materi- ally differs from the other One claw Is scissors, the other mill; one Is a cutter, the second cracker.
 Practically a lobster has ten legs, but of these only eight are used in walk ing. Of these ten legs the front pair, the claws, are employed in seizing and crush ing it's prey. Generally the right claw is the more slender and longer, and has sharp teeth on it's edges, while the other has no teeth but blunt tubercles, or ham, mers The left claw is operated by stronger muscles. Sometimes, however, the scissors claw is the left one and the hammer, or crusher, claw is the rxght.-- Kennebec (Me.l Journal ah.

THE MULE AS A KICKER.
There Are Those Who Profess to Be- heve the Animal Is Slan-
 dered.

It has become an everyday assertion that nothing, or hardly anything, is sacred in this generation, says the Phil adelphia Record. Traditions which have had the sanction of uncounted ages and which were never before questioned are now glibly and contemptuously de- nied by the confident present. Perhaps the most appalling instance of icono- clasm Is that of Col Jenkins, of the Nebraska national guard, who protests that the mule is the most maligned of all amiable creatures, and that it has never, in any circumstances, kicked q man.
 There could be no more striking proof of the incredulity, the rank agnosticism of the time than this attempt to set up the mule as a gentle, affectionate. and forbearing beast, which bears no malice and would allow a man to tack a placard on it's rump without kicking out. But it is not mainly because of its significance in this regard that tho denial of the mules kicking disposi- tion is mischievous, Should Col Jen- kins' estimate of the mule accepted. . vast amount of profanity which has been looked upon as excusable or neces- sary must be charged against mankind as both wanton and cruel. Even the army chaplainss were induced to con- cede the blamelessness of the passion ate language aimed at the army mule. The obstinacy or fnveterate wickedness of the mule, it has been universally be- lieved, required of it's driver-whether
  "a flow of vitriolic profanity which, If inexcusable and unnecessary, must con- sign the human race to torment. It may be amusing to light-minded per- sons to assail cherished traditions, but it is important that thoughtful men should consider the consequences of accepting the statement of the incred- ulous.
