AIR FAMINE AND ITS EFFECTS.
People Slow in Recognizing Import
ance of Pure Air.

As buildings are now constructed
and overheated, many people have to
spend at least part Of their waking
hours in a fetid atmosphere, says q
writer In The Delineator. But there
Is no excuse for sleeping In such an
atmosphere. We spend one-third of our
lives in sleep; we also breathe more
deeply when asleep than when awake,
and we should sleep in the open air,
or as near to it as possible. Walk
through a residence street at night
and look at the bedroom windows;
they are all tightly closed. Occasion
ally one is stingy three or four
inches down from the top. This is done
by some advanced individual to let out
the bad air. If all the bad air went out
OF that room there would be no air
left. There should be no bad air in q
bedroom. Every window and door o.
the bedroom should stand wide open
every night in the year. The air should
be the same inside as outside. While
asleep the lungs should be connected
with outside air just as they are when
we walk the street Sufficient covering
should be used to keep the body warm
at night just as we put on sufficient
clothing to keep it warm when we go
outside. Only the face is exposed under
both conditions.

All the people say they would not
do anything mean; still, there is a
great deal of meanness in the world.

People never fail to appreciate good
ness. But you can't fool them with
bogus goodness. = Atchison (Kan.)

MIR. E. L. Benton, civil engineer.
whites from Slstersville, W. Va, that
an offer has been made to local people
by the Pittsburg Construction Co. to
build railway between SistersviIle
and Middlebourne if local interests
will float a percentage of the bonds.
This offer is now being considered.
The proposed line will be about 123
miles long, with maximum grade of
4 per cent. and minimum curvature
of 10 degrees. There would be four
bridges of the plate girder type and
one tunnel 100 feet long.

But the poor little wife has become

Polo Stick Dancers.

Many a man is eager to fight re-
form until you hit him in the pocket.

Some men are too good to 60 to
Jail, and some are too rich.

English polo is far less dangerous
than it was, but nevertheless, there
have during the past season been far
too many accidents from blows by
polo sticks more or less serious. The
polo stick is very formidable
weapon, and requires considerable
skill and restraint in its use.-The
Field.

About all a man gets out of becom-

is to hear all the disagreeable things
which are said about him.

WARD BRINGS SUIT
AGAINST TREAKLE.

Wales Ward has drought suit in the
Circuit Court of Lancaster for $500
damage against DR.. Henry B. Treakle.
Last December DR.. Treakle, while labor
ing under fit of temporary insanity,
rode from his home at White Stone
early one morning to Wards house,
called him out, and shot him down, put
ting out one eye and disabling one arm.
DIR. Treak'e was tried in the Circuit
Court last March and acquitted on the
plea of temporary insanity. At the trial
Ward appeared as witness and ex-
pressed the hope that DR.. Treakle would
not be punished, saying that he had no
feeling against him.
The September term of Lancaster
county court will begin on the 2ist,
when great crowd of people will be
present. 1t is expected that Hon. w.
A. Jones, Congressman from this dis
trict; Hon. Boyd Sears, of Mathews;
Hon. Edgar Montague, of Hampton;
Democratic elector from this district;
Hon. Carter Glass, of Lynchburg,
and others, will make speeches. 1t is
not known whether there will be any one
present to champion the Republican
cause. -Times-Dispatch.

FOREST FIRES STILL RAGING.

Forest fires still prevail in Minnesota,
and the inhabitants along the lakes are
preparing to take refuge on the water.
should the fires invade the towns. No
rain has fallen in the region of Duluth.
Mich, since July 10th, and the condi-
lions for forest fires are such that no
one can tell where the flames may
spread, Many small towns along the
water front seem doomed to destruc-
tion.
The dense fog that prevailed here
several days the past week is believed
to have come from the forest fires in
the northwest. 1t seems strange that
smoke should drift so many thousands
OF miles, and this with easterly winds
prevailing with US, but the high upper
currents were doubtless from the west
or northwest, and drove the smoke
eastward.
