Women Who Wear Well.

1t Is astonishing how great a change q
few years of married life often make In
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brillance vanish like the bloom from IL
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only dim shadow, faint echo
OF the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, rot understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
of its freshness and the form of its
fairness.

Save Life Promote Health,

The committee of one hundred, rep
resenting the most prominent medical
associations, scientists and eminent
non professional citizens. has started
an earnest campaign for the saving of
life and the preservation of health
doubt that this subject is one of the
most important before the country.
While public authorities and human
itarians in general are engaged in
vigorous campaign of social uplifting,
every community having its benevol.
ent organizations, it is fact that
scarcely anything has yet been done
to stop the fearful ravages of the pre-
veutable diseases. The movement
against tuberculosis has been under
taken within the past few years in
some OF the cities and in few of the
States, and in some communities pri-
vate effort has set itself against the
appalling infant mortality due to ig
norance and neglect, but taking the
country as whole the general pre-
servation of life and health has COM
manded comparatively little public in
terest.
million and half people die
annually in the United States and
more than four million are constantly
sick. AS one eminent economist has
said, lover five million homes, con-
sisting of twenty-five million people,
will be made more or less wretohed
during the next year by mortality and
morbidity;' and this horrible night
mare of death and disease and misery
will increase as the population in
creases. The same authority says that
for nation TO permit such great
wastes to go unchecked is more than
a suicidal policy, for an evil more
destructive than race suicide is race
homicide When it is known that
hundreds of deaths annually, and many
more cases of illness are due TO pre-
ventable causes, the absence OF
pholotSi anu 6tCAllhbIS yam bll II NC
comesh national disgrace.
The idea is to induce congress to
establish separate cabinet office OF a
bureau under one of the present cab
met offices, to deal with these sub
Jects. 1t is argued, and with very
good reason, that the government
should take at least as much interest
in the preservation of life and health,
as III protecting farm animals from
disease and plant life from insect raw
ages. Every person stricken down with
typhoid fever, or tuberculosis, or dip
htheria, or who has contracted chr
onic disease by reason of ignorance or
neglect, is a living argument in favor
of au emphatic arousing of public in
terest in favor of thorough and sys-
tematic campaign.

HUNTERS unique
EXPERIENCE

William III. Treas and John Fl. Treas,
who were deer hunting at White deer
mountain. have returned to South DAN
Vile. Thesrest of the party consist
ing ofIDr. A. T. Dewitt. H. L. De-
Witt, Dr.sN. M. Smith and d. r. Eek
man expect to reach home in time to
spend Thank sgiving with their fami-
lies.
Under the present law. which makes
it unlawful to shoot any but male deer
with horns, the experience of the hunt
ers was wholly unique. The restric-
tion cuts down the hunters chances
one-half or7more. None of the Dan
Vile party at last accounts had run
across deer that might become legiti-
mate game.
The guide wounded big buck, but
that was the nearest the Danville
party came to getting taste of ven
ison. The buck escaped, but he was
easily tracked and. although pursued
by the entire party, he succeeded in
making his escape.
The does and the fawns as il realiz-
ing that~they are protected seem to
have lost much of their fear. A couple
of remarkable instances are related.
The other day J. II. Treas and his ia
ther came across a doe and two fawns.
Whether paralyzed by fright or due
to some other cause the animals, usual.
ly so timid. stood stalk still no more
than twenty-four feet from the two
men, maintaining their stolid position
for at least two minutes, after which
they gracefully bounded away.
D. r. Eckman had still more re-
markable experience. He found him
self face to face with beautiful fawn,
which stood its ground not more than
ten feet away calmly surveying the
man and the gun. OF course, under
the previous law each of these deer
would have fallen an easy victim of
the hunters musket.
None but "male deer with horns"
may be shot. This of course, gives the
male fawns, which have not yet grown
antlers, chance to escape. Hunters
have to be very careful that they do
not unwittingly shoot a female and
thus lay themselves open to prosecu-

Are a Husbands Pockets sacred7

There are many and varied excuses
for the granting of divorces, but the
latest reason for the separation of hus-
band and wife was given in case re-
ported in Massachusetts. In this case
the wife persisted in going through
the pockets of her husband at night
when the poor man was sleeping the
sleep of the just. When morning came
the husband discovered his loss and
demonstrated with his wife but to no
avail. The nightly plunder of the
trousers pocket of the slumbering
man continued until patience ceased
to be a virtue and he sought relief
from the divorce court.
Wives all over the country should

the eyes of the law. The desire of wo

they have no right to meddle has caus-

and the woman who has curiosity

band dropped all his change at the
poker game of the previous evening is
likely to get into trouble, if other
courts should follow sthe example of
the Massachusetts tribunal.
Wives should let their husbands
pockets alone. and if they are insneed
of money they should use some less
criminal manner of securing it,

Not His COMPLAINT,

A short while since a number OF
amateur musicians in country town
met for the purpose of organizing an
orchestra. They were successful in
procuring all the performers they de-
sired except an ophicleide player.
One of the number finally volun-
teered to take up the instrument and
try to learn to play it. He had no
ophicleide; but, hearing that he could
probably borrow one from a young
man in the place who was thought to
own one, he, happening to meet him in
the street one day, accosted him with:
How are you, Brown? / heard you
had an ophicleide."
Brown looked at him in utter amaze
ment, having probably never heard of
such an instrument before, and STAN
mered out:
"Well, IL was very i'll about two
weeks ago, but don't think had that,

Def le an Ideal Farmer.

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson has
been asked to define his idea OF the
essentials of the successful farmer,
and in answer he has set down these
specifications:
He keeps improved stock that re-
spond to their keeping and that put ON
the greatest per cent of meat on the
prime parts.
He puts all manure promptly on the
fields
He rotates his crops.
He tile-drains his lands.
He keeps up good fences.
He has good pastures.
He has good garden.
He breeds draft horses and does farm
work with brood mares and growing
colts.
He has library with periodicals
and standard works, aud musical in
strument.
He helps his wife in the house when
she needs it, has spring vehicle for
her to visit in and drives her to church
himself.
He keeps dairy COWS or mutton
sheep, or both.
OF course, the Secretary has been
compelled in this general summary of
the ideal farmer to avoid the consider
alton of strictly local conditions
which might impair the application
of some of the specifications, but in
the main it will probably be admitted
that he has painted a fairly accurate
composite picture of the successful
tiller of the soil today.
The idea that modern methods have
no place on the farm is being rapidly
dispelled, and as a result the noble
calling of agriculture is being restor-
ed to it's old-time position of honor
among men.
For this restoration the we'll direct
ed efforts of the National Department
of Agriculture and such State depart
ments as that of Pennsylvania are
largely responsible, through their sys-
tematc campaigns of observation and
education.

The last of thespreliminary crop re-
ports for the year having just been is
sued by the Department of Agricult-
ure at Washington, the country is
equipped to make close guess at the
volume of its leading farm products
for this season. We will have 2,554, :
600, 900 bushels of corn, 625, 567. 900
bushels of wheat. TAI, ,521 200 bushels
of oats, 147, 1872, 900 bushels of barley,
292, 427, 900 bushels of potatoes, and
10, Oil, 900 bushels of buckwheat. The
leading states rank in corn produc-
tion In this order. beginning with the
head of the list: Illinois, Iowa, Mis-
souri,. Nebraska, Indiana, Texas, Kan
sas, Ohio These states produced
more than two-thirds of the country s
corn crop for 1907 and more than
double the amount of the corn which
was grown i'll all the world outside of
the United States.
Usually when the farmers have
good times the country is prosperous.
The farmers are assured of good times
until the next harvest at least and
the chances are that 1908 will be more
favorable for them than 1907 has been,
for in backwardness of the planting
time 1907 broke all the recent records.
Prices of farm crops. like prices of
commodities of nearly every sort, will
come down, to some degree, as con-
sequence of the money scare and the
temporary shrinkage in the country $
volume of activities. but the farmer,
like every other wage Garner, will be
in good shape to meet this brief set
back. The agriculturist is in posi-
tion to look the future in the face
with confidence. Science is equip
ping him to overcome such drawbacks
as lateness of planting season and
droughts. and he can count on COM
manding henceforth good many of
the prizes of fortune.

Livingstone's Vanity,

The Victoria falls of the ZambezI
river, in southeastern Africa, form the
largest cataract in the world. They
were discovered in 1855 by DR.. Liv-
ngstone, the great missionary and ex-
plorer. and were found to be twice as
high and three times as broad as Mag
ara. Carved upon tree near by the
initials I'D. L." are still discernible.
and in his book the missionary con-
fesses that this was the one occasion
in his life when he was guilty of this
form of vanity. These initials are
carefully preserved by the officials of
the British South Africa company, to
whom they were pointed out by the
native who saw them carved.

ARTESIAN WELL
IS SUGGESTED

Several of our public spirited citi-
zens OF scientific turn of mind, who
fully appreciate the danger that arises
from the use of river water, in dealing
with the problem of a pure supply
have evolved plan which will no
doubt appeal to a large number of peo-
pie.
This is nothing less than the sink.
ing of artesian wells in the vicinity
of the water works, the theory being
that by boring down some hundred
feet reservoir of water would be
reached, cut off from all sources of
contamination, and as pure and spark
ling as it is possible to conceive wat
er to be. To what depth it might be
necessary to go is uncertain: probably
thousand feet would yield the right
results.
Not sew towns in this State are
supplied with water from artesian
wells. They are thoroughly practic-
able and Notwithstanding the first cost
where water can be obtained-prove
economical in the end. The enormous
pressure exerted on the internal reser-
voir forces the water through the bor-
ing to the surface spontaneously like
fountain. Thus is all expense of
pumping eliminated.
1t should be stated that those who
are agitating an artesian we'll for Dan
willie are not unprofessional and lily
informed people, but leading people
of the town, educated up to the needs
of the hour, who have witnessed fail
ure after failure of experiments that
had as their object the bringing about
of better conditions in the river here.
Still, it is the same old thing over and
the very best that can be said for our
water as pumped into the mains today
is that it virtually is mixture of
water. mud and sewage rendered re-
spectacle in appearance only by still
half primitive process of filtration.
From the ore miners that survive
much practical information has been
obtained relative to the structure of
the earth at this point, all indicating
that conditions are favorable for pro-
ducing an artesian we'll of the first
magnitude-a veritable "gusher, in
fact.
Those who have taken up the matter
are trying to determine whether
enough people can not be interested
to make an experiment. boring at least
one we'll and going down to the depth
required even if that should prove one
thousand feet. Council might be petit
toned to undertake the work at the
borough's expense. Should a refusal
be encountered from that source the
suggestion is made that the citizens
by popular subscription raise the mo-
ney needed. The expense would not
necessarily be heavy, while the ad-
vantages, should the experiment prove
successful, would be simply of in
calculable value to the town.
