b. f. Crossley of Dushore is in
Philadelphia where he is receiving
treatment for serious eye trouble.

The allegation that constable of
Tioga county had presented bills for
fighting forest fires to both the coun-
ties of rioga and Lycoming and had
been paid by both counties, because
he is said to have sworn he had
worked in both counties at the same
time, will likely be thoroughly in
vestigated by the state authorities.
This constable claimed to have
fought forest fires in the same day,
but the commissioners of Tioga coun-
ty say that this feat would be i'm
possible, The commissioners of the
two counties paid the bills under the
impression that they were legal and
that the constable had performed
the work, and the commissioners
are not to blame for the alleged
graft.
If the state authorities find that
this collected money for forest fire
fighting to which he was not entitl
ed it is likely that he will be hauled
over the Goals ana that the Goals
will be hotter than those he is alleg.
ed TO have found in the forests.
Constables are not as a rule given to
overworking themselves, but this
TiOga county constable seems to
have been in two distinct places
at once, according to his own
story, and his activity netted him a
quite tidy sum of money. If how
ever he shall have to dIsgorge some
of his reward for ubiquity he will
smile out Of the other side of his
mouth,

will result in the growers realizing a

Mr. Whitney stated that now was

China silk finely tucked was inset
with bands of heavy Cluny lace. The
sleeves were tucked long and trim
med with tucks and inset band of
lace.
Among the soft taffeta silks are
some attractive ones with a white
ground showing narrow black stripes.
The front was buttoned across and
fastened with two fanciful buttons of
crochet silk. The collar was of soft
white muslin inset with bands lace.
The sleeves were short and the cuffs
deep and fastened with two crochet
buttons.
Bands of dyed Cluny lace or en-
broidered finlet net made over White
and trimmed in self color satin make
comparatively inexpensive and smart
blouses, repeating the colors of the
frock with which they are to be worn
And blouses formed entirely of heavy
Cluny, dyed and made over white in
quite severe effects, save for big frogs
or fancy buttons.
For serviceable wear much can be
said for the blouse of Japanese and
Chinese crepe 1t has the quality of
laundering we'll and many modes are
made up in this material for dressier
wear The hand embroidered sorts are
much liked
While the waists for street and bust
ness wear are so strictly plain, those
intended for the deini- dress occasions
that will permit of blouse are most
beautifully ornamented. For wear on
the vacation, when one does not expect
to be too dressed up or for quiet little
affairs just among ones own particu-
lar friends, some very pretty models
are shown Batiste, lawn, linen and
cotton wash crepe are all suitable fab
RIGS for such waists. Embroidery as
a trimming has lost none Of it's popu-
larity, while lace and braiding is still
used as much as formerly.

1.-THE SERVANT IN THE HOUSE,"

The opinion of a play by lay

whole city could see and understand,
if only as faltsringly as l did, what
that piece is worth. Then everyone
would go and see for himself and the
great lesson that it sets forth. No

acted Charles Ram Kennedy's mas
terpiece. The Servant in the House,
can ever be quite the same again, can
ever look on life quite as indifferently
as before, can ever pass by his fellows
without a feeling of kinship. 1t is

ing with a power born of its very
simplicity, a living picture in which
one sees the working of infinite prin-
cipl:es and from the face of the master
servant can be read the true meaning

By Ruth Cameron

Did you ever commit the crime of

I'll answer for you.
If you are a woman with woman's

exercise it for good, you have
Influence seems to me one of the
most beautiful and at the same time
the most terrible things in the world.
It's like the X-ray and electricity.
rightly used a wonderful power for
good. misused, an equally great power
for harm.
The girl who longs with all her heart
to be popular should be reminded that
influence makes of popularity tre-
mendous responsibility For the girl
with many friends owes the commu-
nifty in good influence what she re-
ceives from it in love and admiration.
Few women realize what influence
they have upon men
Its strange thing man said to
me the other day, but the advice OF
girl he likes and respects, has more
weight with man than even that of
his mother. Somehow he feels that the
girl has more chance to know about
the conditions Of today and of his life
than an older woman, however good
and wise
When a girl goes wrong the world,
in its cheerfully inconsistent way,
while it socially ostracises the girl is
very apt to say. TT was probably the
mans fault"

WANT TUBERCULOSIS
CAMP IN new YORK
Brooklyn Central Labor Union Asks
for the Project Which Is Re-
ceived Favorably by State
Commissioner of Health

NEW YORK, June 11.--At Patchegue
L. l., today, Eugene Fl. Porter, state
commissioner of health, heard the APP
plication of the Brooklyn Central La
Dor Union. for the establishment of a
camp and hospital for tuberculosis pa
has been taken under advisement and
a favorable report is anticipated by
those promoting the plan for saving
tho innumerable caravan of white
plague victims now vending its way
toward the grave.
This is the first application for the
establishment of consumption hos
fact, any part of the state, under the
law passed at the last session of the
legislature, and which is known as
Chapter III of the Laws of 1909. I'm
der that law such applications must
be made to the state health commits
sioner, who, with the health officer of
the town wherein it is proposed to To-
cate the consumption hospital, are to
decide whether the application should
be granted.
Should the state and town health
officers fail to agree upon the applica-
ton before them within thirty days.
upon due notice to the persons inter-
ested, the matter must be referred to
a commission, Including the lieutenant
governor, the speaker of the assembly
and the state health commissioner for
their decision. In either case the de-

The site where the Brooklyn Cen
trail Labor Union hopes to establish
its tuberculosis hospital contains
about IS acres near Medford.
Two or three years ago, when the
Brooklyn c.. L. u, through DR.. Horace
Greeley, attempted to establish a tu-
berculosis camp on Long Island it was
met by strong opposition from the
residents of all the towns wherein ap
plication was made to establish the
hospital, and the town officials and
the Suffolk County Board of Supervi-
sors, to whom the application was al
so made, turned down the proposition
At that time it was necessary to OBJ
tain the sanction of the local and
county officials, which is not required
under the new law
There is some opposition to the To-
cation of a consumption camp on
Long Island, and while much sympa
thy is expressed for the unfortunates,
it is claimed that Long Island is not
the proper place for these sick ones,
by reason Of its damp climate at
times.
1t is believed that no matter what
opposition the local people place be-
fore the officials, the application will
eventually be granted. 1t is saio that
the reason the bill becomes law was
the reason of it's being sanctioned by
the state department of health.
1t is said that a number of Brook
lyn's clergymen and others we'll
known in that borough are interested !
in the establishment of the proposed
hospital at Medford.

1t seems to me that that's seldom
the case. Women make of men what

How often have you heard of a good

how many hundred times have you
heard of the reverse
Besides the specific active influence
a woman has upon the man who loves
her, every woman has also a subtle

friends, an influence that she exercises
simply by existing.
To keep that influence good means

Island Company. would be placed on
the ticket for the election for direc-

to Wall Street. where 1t has been
known for some time that Mr.. Moore
and Mr.. Reid had been heavy purch-
asers Of the Lehigh Valley stock.
Coincident with the absorption OF
Lehigh Valley there have been num-

Company would seek to connect the
Lehigh Valley and the Rock Island
Companies by taking over the Wa.
bash railroad. No confirmation OF
this report was obtainable today.
