THE GRIP

"Before we can sympathize with others, we must have suffered our selves" No one can realize the suffer ing attendant upon an attack of the grip, unless he has had the actual eX- perience. There is probably no disease that causes so much physical and men, tai agony, or which so successfully de fies medical aid. All danger from the grip, however, may be avoided by the prompt use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Among the tens ofthousands who have used this remedy, not one case has ever been reported that has resulted in pneumonia or that has rot recovered. For sale by J. Heubner.

MEASURES WE CARRY WITH US

If a mining man was called upon to judge of a distance on the surface of mining claim he would form close estimate by pacing it off. Yet, when one has had experience with numbers of estimates made in this way, he will be surprised at the difference in re- suits. Most men will pace off the ground, calling each step a yard. 1t may, or it may not be. If one takes such step as he would ordinarily, it is more likely to be 28 or 30 inches. Knowing that his step is less than yard, he is apt to make longer step when measuring; and, almost invaria- bly,, he will make steps of more than yard in length.
 There are many measures we are accustomed to make by one part or another of the body. Thus we say of horse he is so many hands high-a hand measuring in this sense 4 inches. But many palms are not so wide. It is probable more would measure 3l1 than 4. Then we have the cubit-the meas ure handed down from the pyramids of GiZeh, $500 B. C., 20G4 English inches, and the Roman cubit of 17.4 English inches. The cubit is the measure from the elbow to the end of the middle finger and it's variation in the past was due to the variation in its length in different individuals.
 1t is oftentimes of very great conven- fence to make measurementswithvari- ous parts of the body and with a little intelligent forethought one may make these with accuracy. One should con sider those he might have occasion to use. find out what they are on his body and commit them to memory. First of all we take the pace. This is prefer ably made in the step one usually makes. Let one pace off number of steps, measure the distance and strike an average.
 Then one may wish to know how far he may reach with his arm outward from the body, how great the distance when his arms are outstretched their full length. One should know his height and it is often we'll to know the height from the ground to the level of ones eyes. One should make a table similar to the following and commit it

WOODMEN PAY THE
HONORED TRIBUTE

Monuments In cOmmemOratlOn o.
the memories of departed sovereigns
Paul Gray, Thomas Condor, E. H,
Ham and Eugene F. Cartledge were
unveiled by the members Of the local
camp of Woodmep of the World at St
Johns cemetery Sunday afternoon.
The services were witnessed by a
large crowd, among whom were the
families Of the departed ones.
The poem 20, Why Should the Spirit
of Mortal be Proud" was recited by
G. r. Burgoyne in an impressive ard
feeling manner.
Addresses commemorative of the
sad occasion were delivered by r.
Pope Reese and j. r. Landrum. The
speakers paii high tribute to the
dead sovereigns and extOlled the vir-
tues of the order in eloquent terms.
Sacred songs were rendered by a
Quartette composed of male and fe-

At this moment the knife penetrated
the upper portion of the ducks breast
and an avalanche Of whole corn ratified

tragic that Lizzie began to tremble and
turn pale. He said finally:

napkin to her eyes. II did. now"
Saying this she handed her mortified
husband the drawing she had made
She still sobbed disconsolately, while
Alfred handed the drawing to Jim, and
each let out a roar of laughter that
could have been heard a block.
Poor Lizzie continued to weep.
"Oh, Mrs. Lawton, don't. There is
plenty else, and, besides, Alf, it was
the butchers business to do this" Jim
said consolingly.

But when Lizzie was alone the

her, and so many tears fell that she
was half blinded, but the omelet felt
sorry for her and came out Of the pan

saved the day, and the fee cream and
cakes were good.
Despite its beginning the dinner was
a very enjoyable affair, and the next
day the duck got another cooking.
Lizzie made. surrepitious efforts to
get that picture away from her hus-
band, but he put it under lock and key.
1t was a proof that she did actually
draw the duck.

BOARD OF HEALTH
HOLDS A MEEEING
CITY HEALTH OFFICER PIER.
POINT STATES THAT CITY Is
IN HEALTHY CONDITION.

The most important matter that de
manded the attention of the Board Of
Health at the regular meeting of the
body yesterday was the report of City
Health Off1cer PierDont and the re
port of the special committee named
to conduct the examination of appli.
cants for sanitary inspectorships. The
report of DR.. Pierpont covered several
vital health questions
Mayor Bliss presided with Health
Of1cer Pierpont, William Hays, Wal
ker Ingraham, Frank Reilly and H
Baars present.
The report of Or. PierpOnt was read
and it showed that during the month
Of March that 2,514 inspections were
made, of which 2,270 were found good,
and only PA in unsanitary condition !;
4,798 copies of the new screen oTdi-
nance distributed. The report stated
that 1,500 fresh water minnows were
caught and deposited in Butcher Pen
Pond for the purpose of destroying the
larva of mosquitoes. Other large
pools of stagnant water will be SINH
larly treated in the next few days,
says DR.. Pierpont. The health condi-
ton, the report states, Us excellent.
After dealing with minor matters
the report continues. "As complaints
are being repeatedly made that the
garbage contractor is not promptly re-
moving garbage, would recommend
that the. city force be used to remove
the garbage" The question was re-
ferred to the Board of Public Works.
A thirty days leave of absence was
granted Inspector Julian Maura and
Philip Sanchez was appointed to act
in his stead
Stringent rules concerning the duty
Of the Health Officer to investigate at
once, any and all cases reported to
him as suspicious. HIS diagnosis OF
the case must at once be reported to
the secretary of the State Board Of
Health. and he is to assist the secre.
tary ofsthe state board at all times.
The report of the committee on sani-
tary examinations showed that out OF
the total of eighteen examined only
six passed. Out. Of a possible $40 the
following percentages were made: z.
G. Humphreys, 299; B. R. Lawrence,
2s7; G. L. Fulton, 2S4; F. T. Martin,
2S2; w. H. Bfazier, 274; F. o. John-
son, 271. The first four having made
the highest average will be appointed,
consistent with the physical exami-
nation.
Several lively tits occurred during
the session but were all good natured.

Montgomery Band Wins $50
Prize Offered In a Band
Contest by That Place.

The celebration at Wellsville
Wednesday the 18th was quite a
success. People from all over
the county were there. A large
delegation from Montgomery
went up. The fifty dollars offered
as a prize in the band contest was
won by Montgomery. There were
three bands in the contest, Mont
gomery, Bellflower and Martins
burg. Each band was to play
three pieces of their own selection
in the contest, the band win
n ing the prize to stay and play
for the fire works at night. Mont
gomery received 80 points, Bell
flower SO and Martinsburg IS.
The judges were Misses Bernice
Underestimate, Lille Dutton and
Edith Lehnen, three music teach
ers of Wellsville. The Montgom-
cry boys are all feeling very jubi-
liant over winning this prize as
the band was only organized the
18th of February, not quite five
months ago, while Bellflower has
been playing three years and
Martinsburg about a year.
The band wishes to extend
thanks to the three young lady
judges for the fair and impartial
manner in which they decided the
contest.

Montgomery 3--Troy 1.

One of the best and fastest
games Of ball that was ever played
on this diamond was played here
Sunday between Montgomery and
Troy. st Vrain of Mexico was in
the box for Montgomery and
pitched fine game, in which he
used a lot of head work. Bud
Ham caught the gone and al
though it was the second game he
had caught for several years, he
could not have done better, only
having one pass ball and that was
q wild pitch. Elliott for Troy also
pitched fine game, and the game
was what you might call pitch
ers battle, but ST. Vrain had the
best off it striking out Ia men to
Elliott's 10 and he also used more
head work than Elliott. hits
were made off ST. Vrain and 4 off
Elliott. The first 4 innings the
Montgomery rooters began to get
little uneasy as Troy had made
one run in the first and were shut
ting Montgomery out right along,
but after that one run she never
got another one, although they
had man on third several times.
In the fifth inning the home boys
began to get on to Elliotts curves,
and were hitting them pretty Of
ten. Both team played gave their
pitchers good support.
