The Heat the Cause

There is much complaint among all
classes of citizens as to feeling bad with
aching bones.'' said a physician.
This is the result of the sudden turn
in the weather from plenty of moisture
and comparatively cool temperature, to
extreme dry heat and warm nights. The
nervous system is feeling this last condi-
ton. Not every one thus affected is suf-
fering from malaria The best course to
pursue is to drink plenty of good water,
eat good fruit, avoid over-ripe vegetables,
and especially melons. Good healthful ex-
ercise and mental diversion are excellent
antidotes If one avoids the heat-of-the-
day exposure.
Yes; the mosquitoes are getting in
much work with their hypodermic bills
dishing out malaria, but one can counter
act even that poison"

The time people think they know
all about managing children is before
they are married.

enough about it.

A Non-smoker Asks Fnir Play

"All the appointments and the staff
for the public's comfort and convenience
are SO complete that 1t may seem out of
place to register kick" said a man
who likes to see a good game of base
ball, but I am forced to make a re-
quest 1t is this: Let there be portion
of the grand stand set apart under
rigid rule Of no smoking before or during
the game.
There are many persons, including
some men, who do not smoke, but who do
not object to a good, fresh cigar. How
ever, those who smoke are not all dis
criminatory users of the weed. At the Sat-
urday game at Fleetwood Field I had a
seat in the grand stand. On my right
was man nursing very poor cigar
with just enough Whit to keep 1t alive for
seven inningsl. Ever and anon he would
belch forth a cloud of smoke from his
stogie and 1t all drifted my way. He
would drop. his hand and wait while
before another emission, which was not
Favored as though it had passed through
the Valley Of Cashmere And then the
cigarette smokers were all about, wrap
ping and blowing gusts over ladies, and
over some smokers who do not like the
odor of cigarettes.

one section where there would be no
smoking, no small boys allowed to beat
tattoos on the floor rchairs with Coca
Cola bottles, some persons 1 know would
patronize the game who now hesitate,
or will refuse to go. because with them
1t is recreation of the quiet kind without
smoke and bedlam. There is plenty of
room for these things / object to in the
spacious seating capacity of the park
and then to give to the other baseball
lovers comfort and pleasure

YANKEE CON. WILL
PUSH DEVELOPMENT
Directors Go Over Plans for Future
Blackbird Company Elects Its
Officers for Year.

AT meeting of the directors OF the
Yankee Consolidated Mining company
In the Newhouse building last night it
was decided that development work
during the next year shall be pushed
In earnest Greater depth will be Sc
cured ut the mine and the equipment
throughout is to be changed and en-
larged.
The directors pasgd a resolution
calling for an assessment OF three cents

the present indebtedness, put In a new
hoist capable of use in sinking the
shaft TO the $500 foot level and electric
ally equipping the mine
The shaft at present Is at the 900-foot
level Sinking In this Will begin as
soon as the equipment is installed This
three or four months.
BESIDES this the company has a
number of other plans in view and
one In particular which should yield
revenue to push the work much further
ahead than the assessment could.
The annual meeting OF the Black
oiru Coppcr-Gold Mining company,
limited, which is owned by practically
the same people as arc Interested in
the Yankee Consolidated, was held yes
terday. The old board OF directors
was reelected. The officers and di-
rcctors are: John +. Du Bois, of
Dubois. Pa. president. Charles J.

Ing the property In Beaver county by
means of core drills. One hole was
completed last fall and another was
started. The first hole was sent down
to the north of the contact In hope that
the dip was in that direction and the
ore could be caught. The second hole
Is being driven TO the south of the
