ers who have stolen public prop
perty worth many millions from

thirty cents or thirty dollars or
something like that in order to
break into Jail. Just where the

True, Bui-

Reading the other day of man
who grabbed a cent out of another
man hand and got sentence of
two years and a half in the peni-
Tertiary for his theft, the fancy
occurred that some curious con-
trasts would be afforded If a prison
sentence were a thing to be coveted
instead of Stunned, and if people
were engaged in trying to see who
could get the longest sentence by
the smallest offense.
In that event the man who got
two years and a half in prison for
a penny would be, probably, the
most famous bargainer of his day.
How he would be envied, for
instance, by the sugar trust,
which has lately stolen several
millions of dollars from the gov
eminent by cheating it's customs
collectors by weights, and hasn't
thus far even got day in Jail. for
any of it's officers. Of course the
trust itself couldn't so to Jail, but
the officers who direct it's affairs
could very easily. If the value OF
two years and a half in prison was
the theft of a single penny, what
terms would be distributed to the
officers of the sugar trust, who
stole seven million dollars?
How the penny.stealer's example
would be admired and envied by
the oil trust, which has stolen
the business existence of thousands
of men, which has conspired ny
secret rebates and other bludgeon-
ing methods to take the CONNER
cial existence of it's competitors,
and which hasn't yet been able to
buy a day in Jail for a single one
of it's officers or directors.
If prison sentences we're the
coveted SUBJECTS of shrewd bar.

declined to give former Mayor James
X. Mcclure of Syracuse an office in

that MCGUIRE had none OF the genteel

this story had precursor in Mr.. TIL

In the days when Uncle Sammy
was governor a delegation swooped
down upon him from Utica to urge
the claims of patriot from that pent.
up suburb.
He is one Of our best citizens,
said one in the delegation He is
singularly free from the infrmities Of
man. He uses alcohol in no form.
Yes chirped another of the dele
cation. he passes the hat regularly in
church, he is a model citizen, be
doesn't even smoke. He is a pillar OF
our little community.
Uncle Sammy listened in silence,
and when the last word was said be
gently stroked his chin and in his
accustomed whisper murmured: Don't
trust him. gentleman, don't trust him.
He evidently has no small vices. -

STRIVE TO KEEP IN HEALTH
Better That Than the Search for .
Cure After the Disease Has
Taken Hold.

We get sick because we are too lazy
to keep well. according to DR.. Woods
Hutchinson in Woman's Home Com
panion. We are always looking for
short cuts to health OF reputed cures
for coughs and colds, he says:
Their name is literally legion, for
hardly drug can be mentioned, hard
ly a substance discovered, which is
capable OF either being swallowed or
inhaled, that has not been recommend
ed as a cough remedy. Eight-tenths OF
all colds are mild infections, which run
their course until the body has time
10 produce an anti-toxin or anti-body
TO stop their further progress. AS
this process is reasonably healthy
individuals is usually carried out in
from four to six days, anything which
happens to be given in that time
stands fair chance Of getting a rep
utation as a cure.
The only sure cure for colds and
coughs is to avoid the infections and
the foul air Of ill-ventilated rooms and
building In which they breed; to
keep the body tuned up to fighting
pitch, by cold baths and an abundance
OF fresh air, especially in the bedroom,
and II the infeation does get foot
hold, to assist nature in her fight
against 1t by rest in the open air, and
promoting elimination through the
skin. bowels and kidneys.
In fine. don't tinker with symp-
toms; look for the cause. and remove
1t. Don't try to lock the stable door
after the horse is stolen, but train
your horse to bite strangers. Attack
Is the best defense. Keep your body
at good fighting weight and you can
defy disease. Sunlight. food, fresh air,
and exercise are the only cure-alls
known. Don't worry about disease
and what to take when you're sick
but work for health"
