Matthias w. Baldwin was the found

Matthias w. Baldwin was the found
err OF the business of constructing To-
comotives in this country He soon
eschewed jewelry and entered upon a
career OF successful enterprise which
has had few PAL ailels in this country.
His Office boy assisted in making the
designs for the first locomotive and
lives today at an advanced age in the
person OF George Burnham The life
OF this one man not only compasses
the whole OF the building OF locomo-
tives in this country, but he has had a
personal interest i'll about hall of all
that have been constructed in that
time.
The Baldwin Locomotive Works is
an institution in which the city has
peculiar pride. lie employs more men
than any other manufacturing plant
in the city, more than are to be found
in one series OF buildings in any other
place in the country. 1t has been

financial slump of 1907 railway man.
ayers have been chary in giving out
contracts, but the tide has turned.
The receipto t a single order for 100
locomotives this week is one of the
largest in the history of locomotive
building This means many millions
expended in this city for labor and
supplies, and that Philadelphia will
continue to be the dominant force in
this particular industry, since almost
one-half of the locomotives OF the
country are built at this one plant.
The sight-seer in Japan, the traveller

Philadelphia Locomotives

Just about eighty years ago a young
artisan of Frankford exhibited beau-
tiful model of locomotive which he
had constructed in his idle hours.
There was not much doing III his own
line and he had turned his attention
to steam engines few years previous
ly and had constructed one OF five
horse power, which was considered a
fine piece OF practical mechanism. He
had seen a locomotive imported into
this country and had made his model
on an improved mechanical idea 1t
was considered a notable affair and
all the wise men OF Philadelphia went
to see it. Soon afterward the Phila-
delphia, Germantown and Norristown
Railroad Company was organized and
to the young jeweler was given the
contract for constructing locomotive,
but not without some heartburning
and litigation on the part OF rivals.

One of the movements among school
circles which has bee ntried in various
parts Of our country with the most
pleasin gresults is that of the school
Republic. The teaching profession
has followed this idea with interest as
worked out in the elementary scho !.
The pan has worked splendidiy IN
city districts among little incoiri2ibes
who have been won by confidence
and trust; it has succeeded in the
widely different environment OF the
country town. have i'll mind school

where an organization has been ef-
fected. All citizens of this Republic

low an average OF seventy tive IN

preciated and the disgrace OF losing
it is avoided by all.
Thus means has been introduced
which at first demands study probably
only for the marks sake, but soon
has established habit which leads to
application from better cause. l
know OF no school which possesses an
amount OF spirit equal to the one to
which | refer.
In our present campaign for the
gaining OF piano for our schools, the
lack OF the spirit of school Republic
is our most serious handicap. The
pupils have put too little public spirit
into their campaign Rather they have
regarded it as private enterprise to
which there is attached too little per-
sonal gain to make their efforts wortl,
while.
The majority of the pupils are con-
tent to fling the idea over the Shout
der to the othel fellow and there let it
stay A short and spirited campaign
in which each one took all active part
would produce gratifying results. Can
we not stir the children to con-
seriousness of unselfishness in the plan;
to exhibit feeling o. loyalty to the
good of the school which is closely
akin to patriotism i'll the world at

In these days of adulteration, sub stitution and other forms of the art deceptive, it is, somewhat refreshing to find that the Earnsdale Worsted company of Clinton, Mass, not only produces absolutely all pure virgin worsteds,. but that they also have the courage to so stamp them so that there can possibly be no mistaking that fact. Each piece bears their seal of guarantee and those who will be particular to see that their clothier or tailor gives them clothes made of Earnsdale worsteds. will readily notice the rich effect. the smooth hang and the way the suit or overceat will re- tain it's original nicety of shape and long wear.

New Show Today at the Auditoriu

New Show Today at the Auditorturn.
 The programme for the first three days of the week at this popular house caught the public favor and and the management are following it right up with another first class bill.
 Much faveraSie comment was heard rugrrdfrs the rowing picture portion of the programme, and it is a noucea- h.e fact that this part of the show IS going ahead in leaps and bounds. As the republic of Mexico is very much in the limelizht of publicity at the pres ent time. the management have se- cured the scenes taken at the Mexi- can Centennial. which occurred short time ago. This picture should prove of especial interest at the present time film Is greater than all the textbooks in the worII. Other subjects are The Secret of the Palm, an Imp drama taken i'm Cuba; The Dream, also an Imp: and What Would You Do? a screaming farce comedy by the Pow err company.
 The vaudeville acts for Thursday are headed by Marcus and Gartelle, fin their equilibristic absurdity. entl- tied Skatorial Rollerism. This team fs recognized as star act on all ot the best circuits in the country. Billy Reno. The Man from the East, will present his character monologue in rcrSDcrsed with eccentric dancing and confortion work.
 Wood and Lawson are a pair that have graduated from the musical com edy field and their speciality consists of light comedy, catchy songs and neat dancing.

Not Salts, Oil or
 Pills But CaScarets
No odds how sick your Stomach; how hard your head aches or how Bilious --cascarets make you feel great.

=
 Cascarets act a bowel tonic. not as an irritant They are vegetable. Their action is natural. Theirs effect is the same as the effect of some foods. They are gentle; no griping- They are pleas ant; no threading. They are convent ei1t; noNwaiting.
 One old way was castor oil. The effect was to grease the bowels, and for a single day. Oil never causes the bowel muscles to act Other ways were pills. salts and cathartics.s The effect was the same as pepper in the nostri1s. They flooded the bowels with fluid. Those fluids were digestive uices. And the waste today means a lack tomorrow.
 We knew that the method was wrong. That the after-efrects only weakened the bowels But We had no gentle laxative in the old days. So we waited as long as we could, then took a big dose of physic. The method to- day is to take one Cascaret at time just as soon as you need it. Then the bowels are always clean. They cost only 10 cents per box at any durg store
