FRESH AIR AND ILL TEMPER.
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene by
S. G. Dixon, NJ. D., L. l.. D., Com.
missioner of Health.

Half the i'll temper in the world
is the result of poor ventilation.
Think of your own case. Let the
office or the house or the school
room become close and ''stuffy''
and Immediately there follows a
feeling of depression. The lungs
being robbed of fresh air, the
blood is deprived of oxygen, the
purifying agency, the nerve Gen.
ters are depressed in their turn
and all of a sudden we find our
selves in an irritable, peevish
humor without any apparent ex-
PLANTATION for it. Ask any teach
err which is the most trying time
of the day and she will tell you
the last hour. Which hours are
hardest at the office-the last
ones, of course. Not necessarily
because it means the elimination
of the days efforts but because
the windows have been kept
down and the steam on until the
air becomes hot, dry and parched
and then follows in due turn this
depression and with it irritability.
People whose occupations keep
them out of doors are as a class
more even tempered and genial
than shut-ins.
The conditions in our homes
are equally worth watching.
Many a housewife who feels
nervousely exhausted would
would find that a few minutes
exercise in fresh air would pre-
vent a nervous headache. A
temperature of 65 degrees fab
renheit where the air is fresh is
far healthier and more accepta-
BILE to the normal young or mid
die aged Individual than a tenn
temperature of 70 or more de-
grees in a vitiated atmosphere.
AS a preventive fresh air is of
the greatest value. Overheated,
ill-ventilated rooms, Offices, cars,
etc., are predisposing agencies to
both colds and pneumonia.

COnStableS Duty.

A subscriber called our atten-
ton to a late act Of our legisla-
ture making the duty Of local Of
ficers Of the law to keep tab on
how licensed hotels conduct bust
ness, and sends the following
clipping;
"A law of the state, act Of
1913, provides for still another
watcher. His services might be
said to be a half-way-between
work. He is to be paid for bis
services out Of the public crib.
He is none other than the ward
constable, whose duty under the
1913 statue is to visit all the IL
censed houses in his bailiwick,
once a month, take notice how
matters are being conducted, and
report the same to the courts. for
which the law provides that he
shall receive a fee of Is cents for
each and every hotel or saloon
visited. This information s
CLEANED for the information Of
the court, and is returned under
oath. The scheme was thought
by the members of the State Ho-
tel Mems Association to be good,
as it gave protection to the care
full hotel man, as well as terror
to the reckless one, who by the
good hotel men are regarded as
the worst foe to their own bust
ness"

Another FultOnian.

Horace w. Cromer has an
nounced himself as a dry can
didate for the state Legislature
from the fifth district of Ale
gheny county. Mr.. Cromer is a
son of the late George and Han
nah Richardson Cromer, and was
born at Fort Littleton, this coun.
ty. His wife, Mary Woodall, a
daughter of the late ex-County
Superintendent H. H. Woodall,
is a former McConnellsburg girl.
Horace started out to fight life's
battles single handed, and he's
been ''cuttin right and left" He
has not only been very success
full in business, but he stands
high in, at least, two of the lead
ing fraternal organizations in the
country, and is very popular in
his home county. Having learn
ed by experience that success
comes from standing on the right
side of all great moral questions,
Horace would make a very safe
legislator. and we hope he may
land the nomination and election
not so much that he may crafty
and ambition, but that Allegheny
county may have a dependable
representative.

To Better Conditions.

The high cost of food products
in the cities is not fully appre-
ciated in farming districts like
our little county where we get
it at first hands. After it leaves
our doors a profit is taken by the
huckster, the railroad, the COM
mission man, the jobber, and fl
nally by the retailer five profits
which, in many instances, brings
the price to the consumer to one
hundred and fifty per cent. more
that we received forit Wemen
ton this because we would have
our readers keep awake to the eff
forts being made to bring the
producer and the consumer into
closer touch in order to eliminate
some of the five profits, and give
the producer a little higher, and
the consumer a little lower price,
to their mutual benefit. Intelli-
gence will be needed by both, if
better conditions are to be had.
This is one of the reasons why
farm instructors are preaching
local unions of farmer, (coopera-
tom basket of eggs, or my pota-
toes cuts no figure in the market
unless combined with forty or ff-
ty of our neighbors, making a
quantity worth while. Keep a
breast of the times.
