\ Period of Large Opportunities.
There never has been a period in
the history OF our country when there
were larger opportunities for achieve
ment in the public service than now.
Questions that affect the stability of
our civilization are being considered
and problems of vital concern to man
kind are pressing for solution. Twelve
years ago on the 4th of next March
William Mckinley was inaugurated
president OF the United States. Think
of the conditions then and now What
marvellous and unexpected changes
have occurred Who ever dreamed that
within two years from the hour Nc
kinney took the oath of Office, a war
" OUtQ nave occurred resulting in the
extension of the physical boundaries of
our country more than q. 600 miles; q
war that gave US Porto Rico and the
Philippine islands; that made the con-
strucuon Of the Panama canal a ne
cessity, and brought about a moral up-
hrtlng OF the country which has re-
suited in the conviction and imprison-
ment of many United States officers of
nigh position for crimes and misde-
meanors that in other years would
have passed unnoticed- Men would
have been amazed If 1t had been pre-
dicted that within dozen years from
the inauguration Of Mckinley. the ex-
pehseS OF the government would grow
10 the fabulous sum of a billion dollars
per annum, and such expense be met by
the American people without protest.
1et- all this has occurred and We are
today enjoying a pros perity in our ag-

life heretofore unknown to any of the
peoples of the earth What the next
L years will bring forth. no man can
foretell, but it is not reasonable for us
to believe that the prosperity that we
are now enjoying is to continue without
interruption, and believe the time has
come for the closest scrutiny of legiS-

PHILADELPHIA STUDIES
EXPRESS COMPANY RATES

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. 2.-An in
vestigation of the rates and service of
the express companies has been begun by
the United Business Mems Association
with an idea of supporting a Parcels Post
Bill not only for rural communities but
also for cities. In order to ascertain
whether conditions warrant such a move,
a set OF ten questions has been sent each
of the 5000 members Of the association
asking for their experience in dealing with
express companies and their opinion Of the
Parcels Post. The questions follow:
Do you think express company rates ex-
cessive?
Are you overcharged?
Can you adjust breakage claims prompt
ly?
Can you adjust "lost package" claims
promptly?
Can you adjust overcharges promptly
Have you had occasion TO make any OF
the above claims and how long did il take
the company TO adjust?
DO you favor lower rates?
DO you understand that employees arc
held responsible for shortages in colloc-
ton?
Can you suggest any improvements in
express service?
The questions asked apply TO local cx-
press companies as well as to the Adams
and United states. Kindly enter here any
criticism or suggestions that would tcnc
toward improvement Of local express de-
livery.

sales for this year are reported to
have nearly doubled. one merchant
who makes specially Of serving
cream and soda and selling cream in

been about doubled. Such is the con-

Weather.

weather,
DO not drink water or other
LIQUIDS when you have food in
YOUR mouth. for one part Of the
danger Of drinking at meals is
that the fluid may wash down
into the stomach particles OF
food which have not been thor
ouchly masticated and impreg-
mated by the digestive juices in
the mouth.
The second danger, especially
in summer, is that your drink
may be too cold, like ice water,
which so many foolish persons
indulge in too much.
When you swallow ice water
at mealtimes the water simply
paralyzes the walls Of the stom-
ach for a time and stops the flow
of gastric juices until the body
warmth has overcome the chill
and allows the juices to fiow
once more. But If you chew
your food well and DO NOT
DRINK VERY COLD FLUIDS
{ there is no danger.

BREED HEATER.
Her Dramatic Career, Sensational
 French Picture.

Undoubtedly one of the most strenu- GUS bits of acting seen here this season occurs at the Breed theater in the big motion picture entitled Her Dramatic Career
 The particularly strong scene occurs when, upon the eve of her debut, which has been successfully made, one of her old time admirers makes a call upon her in the green room of the theater where sh is appearing and demands the jewels she is wearing, and in the stubborn resistance which she offers she displays some of the most violent temper, which eliminates in the strong est scene of the picture. She is thrown heavily upon the floor, where, still struggling and fighting for the posses sion of her jewels, she still enacts the tremendously difficult part to perfec- tion. Many of the opening scenes are taken during a hard snowstorm, and are a great novelty in the motion pie ture line, and are of great beauty.
 The splendid story of Chicago's board of trade. entitled The Game, is along the lines of the famous story, The Pit, and shows some of the exciting mo- ments in the stock exchange, as well as a very pretty romance.
 All the large audience was humming the pretty song, Lady Love, with Miss Wolcott, she making a decided hit with it, as we'll as with her splendid con- cert song.
