Making Good.

There is no way of making L6sttuo
friends like Making Good" and Doctor
Pierce's medicines well eXemplify this,
and their friends, after more than two
decades of popularity, are numbered by
the hundreds of thousands. They have
made good and they have not made
drunkards
\ good, honest square deal medicine of
known composition is DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. 1t still enjoys an i'm
mense sale; while most of the prepara-
tons that have come into prominence in
the earlier period of its popularity have
gone by the board and are never more
heard OF. There must be some reason for
this longtime popularity and that is to
be found in its superior merits. When
once given fair trial for weak stomach,
or for liver and blood affections, its supe-
rlor curative qualities are soon manifest;
hence 1t has survived and grown in pop
ular favor, while scores of less meritorious
articles have suddenly flashed into favor
for brief period and then been as soon
forgotten.
For a torpid liver with its attendant
indigestion, dyspepsia, headache, per-
haps dizziness, foul breath, nasty coated
tongue, with bitter taste, loss of appetite.
with distress after eating, nervousness
and debility, nothing is so good as DIR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It's
an honest, square-deal medicine with all
= no secret, no hocus-pocus humbug,
therefore don't accept q substitute that
the dealer may possibly make little big
ger profit. Insist on your right to have
what you call for.

tion expecting it to prove rcure-all." 1t

FEATHERS AND EeesHELLs.

Cleanliness is the keyhoe to SUCCESS

1t has often been asked why the New
York poultrymen keep mostly White

AS the chicks dry off under the hen re-

COURT REVERSES
JUDGMENT
Continued from lst Page.


Judgment ought to be adopted by the
company for the protection of the pub
lie at street crossings. The power for
which it contends would be practical
ly unlimited. That the appellee is at
tempting to substitute municipal con-
troll for that Of the railroad company
itself at a particular point by declar-
ing just how the duty of the company
must be- performed is too plain for dis
cussion.
Among the express powers confer
red upon boroughs by the act of 1851
the one sought to be exercised here
does not appear. By the first clause
OF the second section OF that act bor-
ough authorities are empowered gener-
ally to make such laws, ordinances.
bylaws and regulations. not iucopsist-
ent with the laws of this Common
wealth, as they shall deem necessary
for the good order and government of
the borough. In the succeeding TWEEN
ty-tive clauses of the same section are
found the powers expressly conferred,
but the power to pass this ordinance
is not one of them. 1t is clear that
the good order and government of
! borough referred to in the first clause
are not involved in the ordinance. The
good order of a borough can be pre-
served and it can be properly govern
ed, no matter how many railroads
cross its streets, by Legislative permis-
sionsand no matter how fast cars may
run over them. We assume this is the
clause designated by the superior
court, as the general welfare clause
broad enough in the opinion of that
court. to cover the municipal legisla-
tion complained Of For the reason
just given we can not concur in this ("
In the Grafton borough case II Dist
Report 204, the borough council had
in November, 1906, enacted an ordin-
ance regulating the speed Of locomo-
tives and railroad trains within the
limits OF the borough of Grafton, the
ordinance forbidding the running of
locomotives or railroad trains over
any crossing in the borough at great
er speed than four miles an hour and
providing penalty for so doing.
Upon bill in equity for injunction
by the Pittsburg @. @. and St. L. Ry.
Co., the defendant borough was re-
strained from enforcing or attempting
to enforce the ordinance, deciding thal
no authority is lodged in a borough
under the act of April 3, 1851, to reg
ulate by ordinance the speed by which
the locomotives and trains of rail
road company shall approach the grade
crossings in the borough.
Borough authorities being unable to
enact valid ordinance regulating the
speed at which the locomotives
trains of railroad company shall ap-
proach grade crossings in a.borough it
follows that they cannot enact valid
ordinance regulating the speed Of rail
road trains through any portion Of
borough.
The seventh, eighth and ninth specifi-
cations of error are sustained and iudg-
ment reversed. BY the Court,

What proud pedigreed prince! Then
think of the big brown eggs from his
harem and the fluffy. bright eyed
chicks, instructed In wormology and
scratching stunts by his snow white
cackling queens! Then smack your lips
as you smell the savory odor of bast-
ed Wyandotte! Round, yellow. velvety,
smooth as silk, it IS the unsurpass-
ed epicurean bird. In dining on Dottes
hold yourself in check at least till the

single combs. or hybrids, by using
broad combed males.
For brassiness and cream in White
Wyandottes use no-corn cream cure.

PRIMARY LAW
HARRISBURG. April II

ii A Il h1Sb " NJ, 6Pl II iu'
Considerable dissatisfaction with
the return provisions of the uniform
primary law is heard in Dauphin
county, and it is possible that some
steps to amend it. so that early reports
can be had, will be made by some of
the representatives. Reports from
Cumberland, Perry and Lebanon coun-
ties are to the same effect, and the
difficulties which the clerks i'll the
office of the secretary of the common
wealth encountered when petitions
were filed bid fair to be repeated when
the counties make their returns.
Under the law every county must
send returns of the vote for candidates
for congress, national delegate. iegis-
lature and state officers to the capitol,
where returns will be computed by
districts and the aggregate results
certified. AS there are many hundreds
of nominations there will be more or
less confusion on Capitol Hill again,
and this feature may also be amended.
What is most objected to in this coun-
ty is the absence of any provision re-
quiring public returns. The law stipul-
ates that the election officers must
make sealed returns to the county
commissioners not later than the Tues
day following the primary.
There is nothing requiSing the post
ing of returns or the filing of dupli-
cate sheet for public information,
such as is done in the general cleo
tions. The result is that no one can
get at the returns in the sealed en-
velopes until WednesdayHnoon, when
the official count is commenced. a
number of candidates are in the dark
as to their vote, and there is much
comment heard.

DON'TS.

Don't set any kind of hen simply
because you are anxious for early
chicks.
Don't forget that feed gets higher as
it grows scarcer Better buy wheat for
the summer.
Don't write us about your chicks
having indigestion if you give them no
grit. That takes grit!
Don't forget to sow sunfower seed
this spring. They add to the appear
ance of your place and add to the ra-
tion.
Don't brag when hen lays Il double
yolk egg. It's Il sign of overfat, The
egg has one more yolk, but you may
have one less hen from apopleXy.
Don't put all the eggs into one bas-
ket. Sort them into sizes and see that
your good cash customers get the big
ones and bakers dozen occasionally.
Don't forget to place some straw in
protected corners for your turkey nests.
The old hen will be on the lookout for
home by the trick,
Don't forget that suntlower seeds
have much moisture and must be
spread well to dry. The chickens and
sparrows win save you the trouble If
they have half chance.
Don't send your breeding eggs to the
store If you have a surplus. Put them
up in water glass for family use in
winter Keep no males among your
market egg layers. Germless eggs
keep longer, and the fellow who buys
Matching eggs at the store to steal n
march on you will get left,
THE SIMPLE LIFE.
The simple life love to sing
Because it's musical
With bleating lambs and mooing cows
And barnyard jing- -a-ling.
We wear a bright red sunbonnet
And loosely fitting prints;
We never dress for ninuets
Nor put on beauty tints.
We have our COW and chickens, too.
A hog, mule, q churn;
We never could return to you
In city heat to burn.
We've done for aye with city strife.
Give us our hogs and chickens.
We're badly stuck on simple life;
For fun 1t beats the dickens.
