Always Room At the Ton.

When it comes to a thirst for
knowledge a great many men, and
some women, are Prohibitionists.
How often we find a young man
in a position of some trust who ap-
pears to be so thoroughly satisfied
with his place that he never thinks
of fitting himself for something more
important and more remunerative.
Such a man is never ready when
opportunity knocks at his door.
When he finds some one else pro-
NOTED over him he is prone to lay
the blame upon luck or pull" He
rarely sees that he himself is respon-
sible for his stationary place in the
commercial or professional activities
of the world.
There is always room at the top,
but he or she who never looks up
invariably slips back in the long
run.
Learn what the man ahead of you
is doing. Learn to do that as WELL
If not a little better than he can,
and you will find the knowledge not
only a light burden but an enorm-
GUS advantage in the fight for sue
cess.

ness Magazine:

DIR. PALMERTON PRESENTED
A FINE AUTOMOBILE

DR.. R. X. Padmerton, Cannons-
ville's popular physician, is feeling
pretty good natured these days, he
being the possessor of a fine five
passenger Marmon touring car, pre-
sented him by Mrs. Anna Woerishof-
fer, mother of the unfortunate
young lady who was killed in an
automobile accident near Cannons-
vile last September. The car is
the one which Miss Woerishoffer
was driving at the time of the acci-
dent. 1t was shipped to New York,
where it was taken to a garage and
thoroughly overhauled and repaired.
The doctor received word from Mrs.
Woerishoffer few weeks ago that
she intended presenting him with
the car in consideration for his SER
vices and kindness at the time of
her daughters accident, and that
she would ship it to him as soon as
the repairs were made. The ma
chine arrived last Friday and is as
spick and span as new; in fact 1t is
practically a new car, being of the

No Joy Without Health.

Every man, woman and child are
interested in what kind of foods they
put into their stomachs. From
half to two-thirds of the sickness
and i'll feelings people encounter are
due to what they eat. A prominent
physician said the other day, How
can people expect to enjoy good
health while loading their systems
with all kind of mixtures, many of
them being poisonous?" The health
and well being of the body should
be among every Individuals first
considerations. 1t is impossible for
anyone to enjoy life without good
health. The writer believes, from
his own experience, that it is possible
for every person, by living as near
to nature as possible and eating with
regularity plainest kinds of foods
properly prepared and cooked, to
live in almost a perfect state of
health. All wild things enjoy per-
feet health, why can't we? People
contract colds and so-called attacks
of grip, not by living in the open air,
but in the foul and overheated and
oxygen-robbed atmospheres of their
homes, business places and shops.
Artificial heat that is minus moisture
and oxygen is positively a dangerous
heat.
Many people suffer almost con-
stantly from dull feelings and head
aches, ills that children so often
compalin of returning home from
school. The old-fashioned morning
and afternoon recess in schools has
been largely abandoned. This is a
great mistake. There should be two
brief recesses at every morning and
afternoon session of school in order
that the children might be able to
fill their lungs with some health
giving atmosphre and escape for at
least brief period the poisonous
and foul air of the schoolroom. Open
or outdoor schools are being held in
some OF the western cities.

FOOD COMMISSIONER FOUST
DECLARES MILK TO BE GOOD.
Exhaustive Tests Made by Depart
ment of Agriculture.


Exhaustive tests made by the Dairy
and Food division of the State De
partment of Agriculture are accept
ed by Dairy and Food Commissioners
James Foust as indicating that the
complaints against the milk stand
ard fixed by the recent act of as
sembly are not well founded.
Six thousand samples were collect
ed during three months by agents of
the division and tested by experts to
see whether they showed g. " per
cent. butter fat and IL per cent.
solids in milk and 18 per cent. but
ter fat in cream, as required by the
new law. The fact that the samples
taken in 20 cities and towns were up
to the standard convinces the state
officials that the standard is not too
high. AS a result any attempt to
induce the next legislature to modi-
fly the law will be vigorously oppos-
ed.
1T is a notorious fact" said Com
missioner Foust, that the people of
Pennsylvania have been buying and
paying for a very inferior quality of
milk during the recent years. 1t is
equally well known that much of the
milk has left the dairyman in good
condition. But some of the distrib-
utors, good many of them, have
made a practice of tampering with
the milk, to their own profit and the
disadvantage of the consumer. 1t
was for the purpose chiefly of get
ting at these dishonest middle men
that the law was enacted and it will
be rigidly enforced. knowledge of
this was already resulted in a mark
ed improvement in the quality of
milk on sale throughout the state,
but the average must be better yet"
