The Gullible Public.

The average man or woman has "a
wonderful appetite for the marvellous
when 1t comes to believing impossible
things concerning the ability OF pbysi-
clans to cure disease. The best physi-
clans and the greatest specialists, be-
cause they do not resort to the methods
of the charlatan and make extravagant
assertions concerning their knowledge
and skill, and are honest with their
patients, are passed by UNDECIDED by the
hOrdes who flock to see the humbugs
and pretenders. A physician who could
really cure one of the many diseases
that the quack pretends to cure, might
locate In cavern on a lonely mountain
and have all the business he could at
tend to. People would flock to him
from far and near. He would not be
obliged to travel about in search OF
patients. AS a rule the itinerant ply
sician has a smooth way of imposing
upon the credulity of the people. He
tells them their symptoms. with
gllbness of tongue that fills them with
admiration and awe. He is a skilled
"hOt air" artist, but beyond that his
knowledge of physics is extremely linn
tied.
Occasionally these Cagliostros of the
medical profession have the luck to
give medicine to person who only i'm
agines he Is sick, or who is on the verge
of recovery through former treatment,
and he gets reputation on that. 1t
would be easy to secure bushel OF tes-
timonials from people who actually be-
lieve themselves to have been greatly
beneftted), testifying to the wonderful
medicinal virtues Of bread pills!
Your home physician is graduate Of
a first-class medical college and has had
experience In one of the great hospitals
OF the country. He reads all the new
treatises on the various diseases aud
keeps up with medical discoveries of
the time by careful perusal Of the
medical journals. But because he does
not proclaim himself from the house,
tops as great physician, you pin your
faith on the we'll advertised patent
medicine, or pass by his door on your
way to visit the travelling quack.

Cigarettes BY Gift or Otherwise.

II the cigarette law Of 1905 was en-.
forced there would not be so many boys
and young men under age seen on the
streets of Reynoldsville smoking cigar
cites. Why not enforce it? A person
who gives cigarette or cigarette paper
to a person under twenty.one years is
breaking the law and is liable for a
heavy fine. Here is the law:
"Be it enacted, &C., that, II any per.
son or persons shall furnish cigarettes
or cigarette paper, by gift, sale or other
,cise, to any person or persons under
the age of twenty.one years, he or she,
so offending, shall be guilty Of a mis-
demernor, and. upon conviction there
OF, shall be sentenced to pay a fine OF
not more than three hundred dollars,
and not less than one hundred dollars" {"
The law is certainly strict enough If
1t Is put In operation.

Vim. Jones Arrested at Flea

Brookville Jail. a-t,.
HIS WIFE THE. ALLEGED VICTIM
Information Made Against the
Man by His Daughter, Mrs.
4 B. vi. Kunselman.

William Jones, of near Knoxdale,
Jefferson county, was arrested last
We" ,sday near the home of his sister,
Mrs. Carrie Stahlman, at Eleanora, on
charge of numbering his wife in Octo-
ber, 1908. Elmer Minich, of Ringgold
township, made the arrest and took
Jones to BrJokville jail.
" :. B. M. Kunselman, of Porter
= >~nship, daughter of William Jones,
made the Information against her faith
er, who claims to have been an eyewit-
ness to the murder. The reason given
.or so long silence is that Jones threat
ened to kill his daughter il she made
information against him.
I IS stated that for some time Mr..
Kunselman noticed that his wife was
addicted to spells of weeping, apparant-
ly without cause, and he made inquiry
concerning the trouble, which he soon
found was of a mental nature, as his
wife appeared to be brooding over some
matter which bore heavily upon her.
AT last Mr.. Kunselman persuaded his
wife to tell him what worried her and
after getting her story he advised her
ITO make information against her father,
and before Squire Howard, of Ringgold
township, Mrs. Kunselman made the
information, which charges that on the
9Th day OF October, 1908, William Jones
struck his wife in the pit of the stom-
ach with his fist, while she was sick ip
bed with typhoid fever, and that the
blow caused her immediate death.
Jones had hearing before Squire
Howard Saturday and was held for
court on the murder charge. The case
will be tried at the January term.

The Helpless Girl.

The poorest girls in the world are
those not taught to work. There are
thousands OF them. Parents have
petted them, and they have been
taught to despise labor and depend
upon others for a living, and are
perfectly helpless. The most forlorn
women belong to this class. 1t Is the
duty OF parents to protect their daugh-
ters from this deplorable condition.
They do them great wrong If they
neglect to do it. Every daughter
should be taught to earn her own
living. The rich as we'll as the poor
require this training. The wheel Of
fortune rolls swiftly around; the rich
are likely to become poor, and the poor
rich. Skill /: added to labor is no
disadvantage to the rich, and is in
dispensable to the poor. Well.to.do
parents must educate their daughters
to work. No reform is more impera-
tive than this.
