GEN. DOUGHERTY PRAISES
NATIONAL GUARD OF PENNA.

Wilkes es-Barre.-Major General G.
B. Dougherty, commanding the divis-
ion of the National Guard of Penn
sylvania, when asked his opinion of
the criticisms in the recent report of
Colonel Frank G. Sweeney, inspector
general of the National Guard of
Pennsylvania, on the inspections
made at the summer encampments in
July of this year, made the following
statement:
1t would be highly improper for
me to criticise the report of Colonel
Sweeney. Only the adverse criticisms
have been used by the newspapers.
The very favorable comments, espec-
tally those of the brigade inspectors,
have not been quoted at all. The in
specting officers usually point out
what they deem pertinent for criti-
cism.
The splendid progress and de-
velopment of the National Guard Of
Pennsylvania since its reorganization
in 1878 has been brought about by
the sharp criticisms. of the inspector
generals department. l will say
this, however, that never in the his
tory of the National Guard of Penn
sylvania has it been so well organiz-
ed, armed and equipped as 1t is to-
day.
officers of the regular army de-
tailed to instruct and inspect it have
marvelled at the high state of efti-
cheney.
There is a good deal of difference
of opinion, and 1t exists among Of
ficers in the army as we'll as among
officers in the National Guard, as to
whether the soldier of to-day, regu-
lar as we'll as National Guardsmen,
shall be taught and instructed in the
science and art of war, or just hay
foot and straw foot of the old train
ing days.

OPEN PRIMARY
FOR REPUBLICANS
Widest Latitude in EIeC-
tiOn Of Delegates
PREPARING THE CALL-REPUB-
LICAN GATHERINGS WILL BE
UNUSUALLY IN Il e r. ESTING
THIS YEAR.

The delegates to the Republican
State convention, who will elect the
States delegates at large to the next
Republican national convention, will
be chosen at the same time as the
national delegates are elected in the
various congressional districts. The
call for the election of such dele
gates is now being prepared at Re-
publican State headquarters and will
be issued soon.
Many letters have been received at
headquarters making inquiry as to
the probable attitude of the commit
tee regarding the election of ma
tional delegates. These communica-
tions came from the so-called pro-
gressives, who evidently feared that
an attempt would be made to block
a popular expression in the election
of such delegates as to favorites for
the Presidential nomination.
The resolution finally adopted by
the national committee provides that
in States where there are laws gov
erning the election of national dele
gates, the provisions of these laws
may be complied with or the State
committee can provide any other
means for the selection of the dele
gates. The Pennsylvania Republi-
can State leaders have decided that
the system of electing district dele
gates by popular vote at the uniform
primaries shall be continued and
that the delegates at large shall be
elected as heretofore by the Republi-
can State convention.
This policy, 1t is explained by
Senator Penrose and his associates,
will give the widest latitude for
every Republican in every congress
sional district in the State to indi-
cate his preference upon the Presi-
Dental issue and to vote for such
candidates for delegates to the Re-
publican national convention as will
carry out his wishes.
Under the primary election laws
of Pennsylvania, which are regard
ed by reformers as being framed
upon the most advanced lines, every
voter of any of the older parties can
pick his representative to national
conventions at the primaries. These
laws also permit candidates for dele
gates to have printed after their
names on the ballot the name of the
candidate for whom they are pledged
to vote for the Presidency in the
national convention.
In a large majority of the States
of the Union this is not possible.
Pennsylvania will be entitled to six
ty-four district delegates, two from
each congressional district, in addi-
tion to the eight delegates at large.

TEETH AND HEALTH.

Unless your teeth are in perfect
condition, you cannot consider your
self well. Uncared for teeth cause
more diseases than people dream of.
The combined surfaces of the teeth
have an area of twenty-five square
inches-enough space for a great
deal of dirt to accumulate, and large
enough to hold millions of germs.
AS a matter of fact, the teeth and
mouths of unhealthy persons are
covered with the greatest variety of
disease germs which often find
splendid hiding places in decayed
cavities and about unclean gums.
Here they stay until either they
are driven outside by a thorough
cleaning of the mouth or are taken
into the body with the food. Germs
of pneumonia and many other dis
eases are very often found in the
mouths of apparently healthy peo-
pie.
1t is most important, therefore,
that the mouth and teeth be kept
clean. The teeth should last to the
end of life. A we'll balanced diet, a
sane manner of living and the brush
ing of the teeth at least twice a day,
before breakfast and at bed time,
will enable you to preserve your
teeth as long as you need them. 1t
is a good plan to have dentist ex-
anime your teeth twice a year. Well
cared for teeth and a well cleaned
mouth help to preserve health and
thus prevent tuberculosis de

All melting and refining work
formerly done in Philadelphia is to
be removed to New York, and the
employees in that department, as
we'll as those in all other depart

do is to apply for transfer to New

Mr.. Blanque, of Hawley, had
