A few minutes later she turned the
key of her apartment door with the
satisfied feeling that she had outwit-

She did not give her jewelry an

days later when she and Brentwood
were dressing to go out.

Brentwood smiled as he adjusted
his tie.
"Tom," she cried, returning in a
moment with tragic face. where are
your tan shoes that were in the shoe
bag in the hall closet?"
"The man with the shoe-blacking

SEEKING
SAFETY

Adelaide" said Brentwood to his
wife with Just suspicion OF reproof
In his voice, II should think you'd
be afraid to leave your jowelry lying
around 30 carelessly" He was idling
at his wife's dressing table and he
picked up two diamond rings and a
pearl brooch as he spoks. Some Of
your handsomest ornaments are lying
here in plain sight on this silver
tray"
That's where l always keep them,
Tom" casually answered Mrs. Brent
wood, who was intent on some Christ
mas embroidery.
We'll, l don't consider the top OF
dressing table a safe place at all"
I've never lost anything of value
yet" said Mrs. Brentwood, sooth-
ingly.
There always has to be first time,
you know. II you take my advice you
will put your rings and pins away
little more carefully. to say the
least. I'm afraid diamonds and pearls
won't grow on our Christmas tree
this year, so you'd better take care
Of those you have"
Very we'll, Tom" agreed Mrs.
Brentwood good nsturedly.

Self Control.

There is really no law like the
law of self control. 1t is beyond
all dispute that the very first
lesson to be taught a boy Is
self mastery, says the Lancaster
News. There IS no sight calcula.
ted to awaken such contempt as a
kicking two-year old whose wild
anger, as he pounds the floor
with his heels, is allowed to go
unspanked by the coddllng par
ent. Tell that little, sweet bar
barlan that this world is so put
together that he had better die
young than attempt the world
with such a temper. If those
who love him most fail to get IN
this idea, it will be got in by a
later surgical operation perform
ed by society for it's own pre-
lection. Frequently this later
surgery proves fatal.
Soberly stated. an ungovern
able temper is without excuse, is
curse to it's owner and all his
KIN, and is simply lntolerable to
everybody else. There never was
child, probably, who did not
start to try the thing few times.
1t 5is a universal inheritance.
There never was a chlld-unless
unnatural-whose bad temper
could not be wholly cured by
wise, patient, affectlonate, con.
slant and firm parental teaching.
The adult mind should place It's
own strong will at the disposal
of the small chap, till he gets
hold of his strong will.
llThat Is the whole story. Re
volvers and knives are not the
fault. 1t Is the rotten self-con-
troll that IS at fault. And not only
as regard homlcides, but word
of other passionate and quick Of
fenses.
1t is unbearable when one has
schooled himself to be a master,
often with the most exhausting
and constant struggle, to have
some wild man let fly, and then
creep back to "Beg your pardon;
| have quick temper. "Have
you? So have l. Saw yours off.
/ am saving mine off, painfully,
every day. No, l Will not pardon
you, IN what / would not pardon
myself.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they can

the ear. There is only one way
to cure deafness, and that is by

Transportation lines are pre-.

cations point to a great circus
event.
The Forepaugh & Sells Broth
ers' organization this season is
remarkably attractive, more so
than ever before IN its fifty years
of travel. The performance is
being given by the worlds 400
best artists, the menagerie has
been newly reorganized and the
forenoon parade is masterwork
of pageantry. The tbrillers of
the show are the double somer.

sensation wild riding of the Pa
jara family of Gypsles.
Capt Webb's two troupes of
riding and juggling seals, Tay-
lor's wonderful monkey and dog
circus, the Hines. Kim ball troupe
of acrobats, the Alvo, the Alpine
and the La Fayette families of
aerialist and the fifty funniest
clowns on earth are a few of the
more prominent features. There
are over 100 big acts, all novelties
and the entire show Is newly
equipped and costumed. Over
100000 has been spent in
building the new outfit and the
result is dazzling.
For many years the Forepaugh

been the pattern of excellence.
This year 1t is vastly improved

employment to l,124 men, women
and children. In the menagerle

OF animal lite and in the canvas
stables are $50 of the finest
horses IN the world. The parade
equipment was all built last win

the show near Liverpool. The
work was done by the best art
lists, designers, sculptors and
spectacle builders of France and
Italy.

PERSONAL TAXES.

Joining Mayor Gaynor, of New
York City, in his opposition to
the personal property tax, F. w.
Upham, member of Chicagos
Board of Review, declares the
law as enforced in his city is a
farce. my opinion is that only tangi-
BILE property should be taxed" says
Mr.. Upham. ut is absolutely out of
the question to make every man in
Chicago declare the value of his per-
sonal wares. And at the same time
this works great hardship on hon
est men. When we took hold Of the
board we found that only S21,000,000
worth of personal property was list
ed. Now we have $50O,O00,000 worth,
and think we are cheating the peo-
pie at that. If we were able, or If 1t
were human possibility, to collect
all of the personal taxes, Chicago
would be so rich that it wouldn't
know what to do with the money"

Pennsylvania Demonstration Orchards.

/
Are you aware of the fact thai
Pennsylvania is rapidly moving
toward the very front of fruit
producing states? To say that
this is true is making an import
ant statement, which is now be-
yond question. 1t has been dem
onstrated in every county OF
Pennsylvania, that there is not
one of the sixty-seven counties OF
this Commonwealth that is not
adapted to the successful and
profitable growing of fruits, es
peclally apples.
1t is true that the same varie
ties of apples will not grow profit.
ably in all of the Counties of
Pennsylvania, but the grower
who understands his business
can select those varieties suited
to proper local conditions IN each
and every county, and can by the
methods which are now being
demonstrated by the State Zoolo
glst, H. A. Surface, and his as
sistants, IN the Department Of
Agriculture, grow fruits as fine
in appearance, aud much better
in quality, than those grows IN
the Far West.
Recently IN conversation with
a member of the Pennsylvania
Senate, vino is much interested
in the possibilities of this State,
Doctor Surface SAID, 'For profit
able apple growing in Pennsylva
MIA, one point is the selection of
site or location, another is the
selection of proper varieties; and
eight points are IN the proper
care of the trees, to make up the
ten essential points for success.
'In the care of the trees we
must consider planting, pruning
spraying, fertillzing, cultivating,
thinning, picking, and packing.
Pests can be and must be abso-
lutely controlled. The fruits
must be not only first-class, but
fancy and must be gathered
and packed in not only an honest,
but in a very attractive and strict
ly business-llke manner.
"Pest control is the most i'm
portant of all these features, but
for complete success each is es.
sential, and it must be thoroughly
modern and correct. knowledge
is power only when practically
applied. Let our beginning as
well as our advanced fruit grow
ers keep their eyes on the 1900
Model Orchards established by
the division of Zoology of the De.
partment of Agriculture IN this
State, and.see what they can learn
that will benefit them.
"rhe dormant spraying for
scale insects has just been com.
pleted, and the spring spraying
for the Cooling moth, the Curulio,
canker, worm, and plant diseases
is now beng arranged"
Announcements will be made
later through the public press.

UEsanitary Methods.

"Only few days ago a gentleman
came into my Office to tell me he had
just witnessed his own milk man hand
a street cleaner drink of milk con.
tanned in the lid of his can and then
replace the lid.
81 have witnessed over and over
again milk men collect bottles from
their customers, poke the index finger
In the mouth of one and the thumb
In the other to carry the bottles to his
wagon. Trusting that they had been
properly cleansed by the housewife,
the bottles we're at once reflled, caps
taken out Of pocket which also con-
tanned a handkerchief and then these
bottles of milk were delivered to the
next customers. It is not worth while
to enumerate other instances to make
my point clear, that is, we must not
confne ourselves to the dairy farm
In looking for conditions that render
milk impure. Our municipalities
throughout the state will have to keep
their eyes open to the way in which
the dealers and others are handling
the milk after it has left the farmers
care"

DR.. DIXON DEFENDS
DAIRY FARMERS
Declares Milk Often Becomes Pol.
Iuted After Leaving Their
Hands on Way 10 Con-
Sumer.
SANITARY LAWS ARE BROKEN

Don't let's put too much blame on
the farmers" says State Health Com.
missioner Dixon, in discussing the
question of pure milk supply, a
problem that is troubling SO many
municipalities throughout Pennsylva-
MIA.
"As an old farmer myself who has
led the reapers around the wheat
field, swinging cradle and then In
the evening milking my share OF the
cows, | am naturally favorable to the
dairy farmer, but 1t is the close study
of actual conditions that convinces me
that the first disease germs often, per-
haps most frequently, get into the milk
after It has passed out Of the farmers
control.
THE farmer appreciates more today
than ever the necessity of keeping
milk clean. He knows that II 1t
reaches the market sweet and pure
the demand will be increased. He Is
up against a difficult task to make
money out of his milk dairy when he
has to constantly buy new cattle to
take the place of those that have
gone dry, become sick or died.
Dairyman's Problems.
"He must produce or purchase food
for them, keep up the stable, pay his
help, constantly replenlsn his supply
of pans, buckets, etc, and haul this
milk over all kinds of roads, through
all sorts of weather and then receive
for all this or Az cents a quart from
the dealer.
"The milk often begins to receive
pollution on the railroad, when an at
tendant takes off the lid of a milk can,
helps himself to a drink and then re.
places the lid, drippings of milk which
have reached his lips going back into
the can.
Does this sound like an exaggera-
ton? Let me cite you case. re-
member a baggagemaster who once
called upon me for medical advice.
found him suffering with pulmonary
tuberculosis. When | advised him to
drink plenty of milk he informed me
that he was drinking great deal Of
It. He said he hauled milk in his bag
gage car and that he was in the habit
of drinking out of the lids of the cans.
AT the stations and along the
streets the milk dealers often purchase
from each other. The purchaser sticks
his finger into the milk and then into
his mouth to determine the sweetness
and then into the second can until he
tests as many cans Of milk as he pro-
poses PURCHASING.
