what A Feather Bed Does.

Few people, even physicians
themselves. seem to know the prin-
cipal reason why medical science con-,
demns the use of feather beds in
winter as well as in summer said
a New York physician recently.
1T is because feather beds are
highly hygroscopic-a rather for
midable word, but one meaning sim
ply that feathers readily absorb and
condense moisture. The body is con-
stantly throwing on waste matter
through the skin and the lungs. The
feathers in the bed will absorb this
waste matter as readily as it will
simple atmospheric moisture. The
feathers retain the waste matter dur
ing the day when the bed Is cold,
even when it is aired, unless also
warmed by sunshine during the time
1t Is exposed to the air.
AT night when the body of the
sleeper warns the bed the feathers
renew their hygroscopic action and
throw off the waste matter absorbed
the night before. The susceptible
body of the sleeper is soon surround
ed by dense and highly poisonous
atmosphere. the accumulative effect
of which cannot help but be very
injurious. IN. Y. Times.

The crew of the Catherine have al

usually accompanies search for pi

threatened to send the fifteen-tor

for days becalmed on a sea as smooth

1t is heard that twenty-four town
ship commissioners, or supervisors,
have been indicted in Venango Coun-
ty for permitting the roads under
their charge to become bad. The ac-
tion is unusual; but its theory is evil
dent. Road supervisors are consti-
tuted to keep the roads in good re-
pair. No man is forced to accept a
public Office. but If he does take 1t he
is bound to discharge the duty. If
a road supervisor takes the Office and
lets the roads become impossible he
fails to do what he is under obllga-
ten to do, and is guilty OF a misde-
meanor.
The doctrine is tart and far-reach-
ing. For there are other Offices in
the State OF Pennsylvania TO which
this principle of law might well be
applied Not to bother over local
and petty examples, consider the in

1T isn't that we are so afraid OF

Roosevelt Hospital, but It has a
harmful effect on our patients Most
sick people have an unreasonable fear
OF lightning. In cases of extreme
weakness or nervousness a dozen
flashes of binding lightning reduces
the patient to such state of pros

BARGAIN HUNTERS ARE
THE SENSIBLE WOMEN
The Woman Who Does NOT Hunt Bar.
gains MISSES Opportunities.
BY Arthur brisbane,

Some foolish friend has asked us:
why do you not denounce the bar
gain-counter mania? Is II because
you are delighted to have the adver-
tising that the bargain counters
bring?"
We are delighted to have the ad-
vertising that the bargain counters
bring, or any other honest advertis-
ing. We believe that the newspapers
are important to community and
that they do good. And we know
that newspaper like this, which
costs good many millions a year to
produce, and which is cold to the
buyer for a good deal less than II
costs, could not possible live except
for the energy of merchants and
other advertising men.
At the same time, advertising does
not influence our opinions. Business
men know that, and others can find
out by experimenting.
We do not oblige our correspondent
by denouncing the bargain counter,
for instance, because we believe and
tually profits by bargain advertise
ments invariably-we assume that
she does not buy what she does not
want because 1t is cheap.
Bargains are published sometimes
in order to bring women to the store.
A merchant is willing to sell them
one or two things at a very low
rartn
cost. trusting that while buying the
bargain they will be attracted by
something else on which he makes O
reasonable profit.
One department store always sells
and delivers sugar, one of life's sta
pies, for less than 1t actually costs
the merchant to buy it wholesale.
Another merchant sells another
staple, necessity of everyday life,
for less than it actually costs him
always with the idea of bringing
women to the store.
Often merchants have extraordi-
nary opportunities of purchasing be-
low the usual market rate. They
give their customers the advantage of
IneSe opportunities, ana Wnlle tney,
the storekeepers, make a profit on
the transaction, the customer gets
valuable supplies for mcuh less than
the ordinary cost.
In other cases merchants compet-
ing with one another cut prices re-
gardless Of actual cost, in the effort
to show more staying power or COM
mercial courage than rival.
The intelligent woman is able to
identify the various bargains offered
for these reasons and others, in good
stores, and she combines with all the
joys of the chase the excitement of
shopping trip and the exercise of
Judgment, the pleasure of getting
something for very reasonable price
or for less than it is actually worth.
The woman who does not study the
bargains, compare prices and seize
opportunities, especially If she has
a family to provide for with limited
income, is neglecting one of the duties
and one of the amusements of wo-
mans life in America in the twentieth
century.-From an editorial in the
New York Journal.
