independence Hall.

Indepe ndence Hall. PHILADELPHIA
most treasured relic and the patriotic
shrine to which hundreds of thousands
of American pilgrims havesjourneyad,
is to have new caretakers.
This historic edi6ce has been placed
IN the hands of a commission, which
has promised. not only to keep it in
hetter repair. but to restore and beau
tify 80 that it shall become attractive
outwardly as it is in itms associations.
1t is also promised that certain prac.
tices thot have been going for years,
according to common report. will be
stopped.
In many homes throughout the coun.
try "relics" from Independence Hall
are numbered among the owners
proudest possessions. Some uf them
are bits of woods, some fragments of
brick. othes nails. scews. and even door
hinges. If all of them were genuine
Independence Hall would have disap-
peared long ago. In fact these alleged
''relics." surreptiously secured by
visitors possessing only q faint appre-
citation Of the distinction between pa
triotism and vandalism. are believed
to be so numerous that if all Of them
were collected they would more than
fill the old building. leaving not even
room for the Liberty Bell.
The suppression of this kind of graft
which sells at exorbitant prices these
fake relics to visitors. who are them
selves not over scrupulous. is one of
the tasks to which the new caretak ers
will address themselves. 1t is to be
sincerely hoped that they succeed.
Graft of any kind should not be asso.
ciated with the building that saw the
birth of the nation. Commercializing
patriotism and turning patriotic i'm
pulses to profit form trade too con.
tsmptible to be tolel ated.

A Happy New Year.

saBefore the News appears to its read
ers again we will be launched we'll
into the New Year. With midnight
tonight we will bid adieu to the Fold
year and welcome the coming of 1913.
With the New Year will come the
many resolutions; resolutions to be-
come better men and women, to ele-
vate the high standard of morals and
Christianity, to change for the better
the modes of business and to step into
paths hitherto untrodden in the COM
mercial and social senses.
There are many resolutions that
could be made, many which if strictly
adhered TO would benefit the commu
nifty in most respects. uplifting to all
classes and further the cause of hap
piness and contentment.
We should all be happy and content
ed. We have much to live for and be-
fore US is much good we can do in the
wofld. not only in helping ourselves
but assisting our fellowmen. No mat
ter what good we should attain the
price will be small and the result
worth hundred times more.
Prosperity is marked by the course
in which we begin. We are sll con.
tent to prosper be it large or small.
The little may be to some as the large
is to others. But the field of prosper.
| ity is large enough for all to have q
share. be it's apportionment large ol
small. Prosperity comes not to the
man but he who seeks should 60 for.
ward omeet it with the best wishes
and kindliest spirits of This neighEors,
be they either friends or enemies.
This will serve to elevate him both
in the social and Christian realms
make of the lowly a man of exultant
spirits, pride and self respect; make
of him man who will enjoy the es-
TEEN of everyone and who in turn will
hold in esteem those who sent him out
into the world with kind word and
sincere grip of the hand. All men are
equal and let man seek to perpetuate
| this righteous cause.
The element of friendhip is great
factor in the success of man. and this
element should find no better time for
! expression than at the present, when
the New Year is dawning upon the
horizon and when time is fading in the
darkness Of the passing year.
To everyone we extend our most sim
cere wish for happy and prosperous
New Year. May JOY come in abund-
ance and sorrows be so few that the
year of 1913 and years to come may be
evergreeens IN the forest of life.

Before Man Could Speak.

The now famous human re lie dug up
in Eng land and known as the "Sussex
skull" has proved nu mber of things
Of interest to scientists.
For one thing is discovery has prov
led that human beings existed on this
earth mi llion years ago, for this old
est of human relics was found in a
stratum of rock of the pIiocene age.
1t also has proven, incidentally, that if
We are to ever find trace of that ape
man. popularity termed the missing
link, we must 60 still farther back,
which is discouraging to those who
are endeavoring to secure positive ev-
idence of the truth tof the theory of
evolution.
But the most remarkable thing about
this skull is that it shows that in the
pre-glacial ave mankind was speech
l.ss. although the race possessed brain
power and presumably could reason.
The Sussex skull. (which is that of a
woman shows the entire absence from
the jaw of the ridge in which the ton
que rests and to which its muscles are
attached. This is accepted as conclu-
sive evidences that the Sussex woman
could not speak and lit stands to reason
that If the woman could not speak
neither could the man.
All of which is inte resting. As a
race We thought some centuries before
we began to speak. 1t is only as in
dividuals that some of us speak first
and think later-if at all.

After Sickness

nothing so rapidly restores health
and vigor as SCOTS EMULSION.
It is the essence of natural body
nourishment, so medically perfect
that nature Immediately appropri-
ates and distributes it to every
organ, every tissue-feeding,
nourishing and restoring them to
normal activity.
ScOTT'S EMULSION is not a
patent medicine, but is natures
body-nourishment with curative,
upbuilding properties and without
drop of drug or alcohol. It con-
tains superior cod liver oil, the
hypophosphites of lime and soda
with glycerine, and is so delicately
emulsifed that it enters the system
without digestive effort builds,
tones and sustains.
After Group, whooping cough,
measles and other child ailments it
is natures ally in restoring health.
After grippe or pneumonia it
imparts strength and health, and
for colds, coughs, sore, tight chests
and throat troubles ScOTT'S
EMULSION gives the greatest relief
known.

eamss in Thread Mill Lssnus.

Saturdays games in the American Thread Mill league were more largely attended than ever, evidence that in- terest is being aroused in the various hines. Each nine has its coterie of supporters that rooted lustily for their faYorites. The games were all reason ably close and exciting in every in- stance save one and that was the game between the dyehouse and the office and dressing department, which re- suited in a victory for the dyeheuss by the score of 11-9, the high total for ths day. This still leaves ths dyehouse bunch at the top of the ladder as the nine representing that department of the American Thread company has not suffered a single defeat yet and are waxing more confident than ever that they will be able to maintain their fine lead. The other games resulted as fol- lows
 Packing and shipping were defeated by the printing department, 4-7; No. 2 mill and inspecting room f, spooling department 5-a good fast game and a deserved win for the winners. No. 8 mill and mechanical department put one over on No. mill by a score of 4-3
 The games next Saturday will be spirited as the teams in most instances are well punched, and all striving for place toward the top of the percent age ladder.
