SCHWABEN SICK BENEFIT
 SOCIETY CELEBRATES ITS
 25TH YEAR OF1 SUCCESS

Twenty-Five years of splendid work, topped off by prosperity and success occasioned a fitting celebration Satur- day. night and yesterday by the Schwaben Sick Benefit society. Wis., and New Haven and were fittingly entertained.
 Fhe reports of the society's treasur- CT show that the association has a balance of $7,85262 on hand, or $55 go Der capita, showing to be equalled by few, if any, associations of the kind
 Saturday night the visitors were en- tertained at the Schwabischer Maen- nerchor hall. As a great surprise to the local society came the presenta tion of three very handsome gifts. One a solid silver loving cup, with Stag's horns for handles, was presented by President c. N. Scheirr of the New Britain society, in behalf of his so- ciety. The cup bears the name of the society which presented it, the name of it's recipient, and the coat of arms which province all the members of the society hail, either directly or through their ancestors.
 Then President John Bitzer of the New Haven society presented an inn mense stein, holding about a gallon. A third presentation was made by Mrs. William Bantle in behalf of the women of the society Their selection was a very handsome solid silver wreath.

HOPPY AND FLOPPY.

Pauline Frances Camp in Sunday
 School Times.) Next door there lives a little boy, With cheeks just like a poppy; I do not know his truly name, And so I call him Hoppy. When mother calls him from his play He hops up in a minute; If she has work for him to do, He's eager to begin it. If there's an errand to be run, He hurries off to do it; If there's a hard thing to be done, He hops his way right through it. There also lives a little girl In this same house with Hoppy, And her name too do not know, But I have dubbed her Floppy. Does mother call, straightaway she
 f1ops
 Down on a chair or sofa; Or creeps into a hiding-place
 Just like a little gopher At sight of work, she Hops right down Wherever she is standing; "A1l tired out! and only moves At mothers stern commanding Now, which of these two children Would you youngsters like to copy :? If you lived in my neighborhood, I hope it won't be Floppy!

to devote any considera ble portion of their time to questions relating to the public health. They did, however, in- augurate investigations which after more than twenty years led to dem onstration of the method by which yellow fever is transmitted from man to man, and as result of this knowl- edge we have learned how to control this pestilential malady.
 The Department of Health measure, which has had the endorsement of the Committee of One Hundred. has also had endorsements from governors of States and from leading scientific, thropic organizations. The measure is not, however, without opposition. Ex- President Eliot of Harvard says in regard to the opponents-''They also, as a rule oppose medical research, vac- cination, and the use of antitoxins of all sorts. They are opposed to the use of the collective forces of the com suits of ignorance. superstition and deceit. Unfortunately, disease, like ignorance and superstition, cannot be successfully resisted on the principle of respecting each individuals right to suffer, be sick and die. Possibly there is such right, but it cannot be exercised without grave danger to many other individuals. Contagious diseases take effect on masses of peo- pie and they can only be successfully resisted by collective action"
 The committee which maintains an office at Room 51, 105 East P nd St., N. Y. city asks for cooperation from all who are interested in reducing the mortality rate and in preventing dis ease. Letters to Congressman and ar ticles and lectures on the subject are ways in which citizens may co-op- crate to establish the much needed National Department of Health.

THE CROW, THE
 FARMERS FRIEND

If were to say that the crow is d helping hand about the farm, many farmers might think I lived in the city, writes William l.. Finley in Success Magazine" Many might prefer to be without such help. The crow has ~eputation as black as his coat. He has been. charged with causing great injury to the corn crops, stealing fruit, robbing nests of poul- try, and eating young birds.
 To determine the real economic status of the crow, the scientists of the Biological Survey examined near ly thousand stomachs of crows kill ed in every month of the year, and throughout the country. The crow was proved guilty of these charges, but it was also shown that most of the corn that he destroyed while growing was only three per cent. of the total food The destruction of fruit and eggs was only trivial, while on the other hand the amount of harmful insects and mice eaten rend- cred the final verdict in favor of the crow. It was proved beyond doubt that he was of more real economic value than harm.

Mrs. CIancy's We'll Proves
 Big Blessing
Keeps Workers Supplied With Pure Water From ArteSian
 Source
Don't Judge Hastily When You See Big Pail Being Taken
 Into Her Saloon

While the W. c. T. U. is dispensing city water in tin cups from the Pen- field Memorial fountain at Fairfield avenue and Water street to thirsty wayfarers these hot summer days Mrs. Ann Clancy who conducts a saloon at Iranistan and Railroad avenue is supplying the employees of West End factories with clear cool water drawn from an artesian we'll in her backyard. And the water which is drawn from depth of POS feet is dispensed free of charge. So every time that one sees a great big bucket lugged into the Clancy saloon the idea must not be formed that the bucket is soon to be- come husky white foamed growler.
 If it were beer that all of the em- ployes of the nearby workshops were going after with their buckets Mrs. Clancy would keep anyone of the breweries running night and day. "The want,'' says Mrs. Clancy when a man presents himself after a fhalf mile from a, West End shop and rather sheepishly makes it known that it's
 water he wants instead of beer from the bartender.
 Often the man who comes from the factory buys glass of beer and for his nickel gets five gallons of the pur- est of drinking water thrown in with it. The water does not need icing and workmen like it better for drinking purposes than ice water and it is re- ported in the shops that there has
 been less sickness in the factories from overdrinking of water during the present summer than ever before. Lit
 tie did Mrs. Clancy think when she spent thousands of dollars three years ago to dig and equip the well that it was going to be a blessing to the workmen as we'll as herself.
 Mrs. Clancy dug the we'll rather than pay meter rates for water. At rates the Hydraulic Co. would have charg- ed the privately owned water works has paid for itself and the owner has water to give away
 May Mrs. Clancy's well never go dry is the toast that West End fac tory men drink to.

HERE AND THERE

Soon evidently there will be little use for our State Railroad Commis- sions. Communication or special subur- ban rates, even where interstate, have heretofore been held largely or alto gether beyond the scope of the Inter state Commerce Commissions activi- ties. But it now interferes with the Pennsylvania railroads rates between New Jersey and New York city, and evidences purpose to review the New York CentraPs communication charges which apply wholly within to assert jurisdiction in this case is not quite clear. But it is all en- phatic of the growing comprehensive ness of the national commissions reg ulative power over all railroad trans portation within the antional boun- daries.-CSpringfield Republican.)
 Some of Grover Cleveland's admir- CTS at Caldwell, N. J., urge that the town purchase the house in which he was born and hold it as a national Cleveland museum, but other citizens object on the ground. that he never showed or felt any interest in the place. Both parties to the controversy promise particulars, the one to show that MT. Cleveland cherished the high est regard for Caldwell, the other to prove that he disliked it, and the two sets of alleged facts will have an in teresting bearing on the question of the actual relations between small towns and native sons who have be- come famous.-(BoSton Transcript)
 In all times wool has had a great deal to do with the wars of England. According to a French historian (Mig- net) the wool question had no small share in the battles of Crecy and Poic-s tiers, and the English knights who fought there so bravely were commer- cial agents of the wool staplers of London and the weavers of Ghent both of whom wanted free markets if they had to battle for them. In our congress the wool question is go- ing to be settled in a pacific way Philadelphia Record.)

WATCH YOUR KIDNEYS.

Their action controls your health. Read what Foley Kidney Pills have
 done for your neighbor. Mrs. H. W. Allen, Quincy, H., says: About a year ago. my kidneys began bothering me- I had a swelling in my ankles and limbs, then headaches and nerv- ous dizzy spells, and later severe backaches. I was getting worse, when I began taking Foley Kidney Pills. I kept on taking them until I was once more freed of all kidney trouble and suffering. I have a great deal to thank Foley Kidney Pills for and shall always recommend them" E. B. Brill, Curtis Pharmacy. Y 3 5

FEMININE NOTES.

What is the proper amount of ex- ercise for girls of different ages and young women? Just how strenuous should it be for each age? This is a vital and difficult question. Our ex- ercise is to be stimulus to stir up all the vital organs to respond to a healthy growth and development
 A woman must use her heavy mus cles, but not too long or too strenu- ously at any one time. She may proftably take good deal of exer- else each day, provided it is taken in several small doses often repeated. Fresh air is the best tonic, and the exercise should be outdoors or in ex- cellently ventilated rooms.
 Every girl should form an inveter- ate and incurable habit of play She stops playing, ceases to be tomboy and often sinks into physical lethar- gy just when she most needs the ex- ercise
 We need special playgrounds for our girls, where they can be free and unrestrained by themselves. There is much truth in the saying that "play is food and gymnastics are medicines"
 So says Professor John M. Tyler of Amherst college.
 A most unusual heiress is fourteen year-old Catherine Barker of Michi- gan City, Ind, who has recently ap- piled to the courts for permission to contribute annually a large part of her income to church and charity work. Miss Barker inherited s30,OO0, GOO and her income is more than $1, 100000 a year.
 Miss Barker's guardians are empow- cred to control her income and allow only what, in their judgment, is nec- essary. This power is permanent, ev- en after marriage
