Old Fashioned Ideas.

There was a time when the wholesome
teachings oil our mothers had an influence,
when the home influence was felt after
the fledgings had left the nest, and there
are still some that are considered by
many as "old fashioned" who believe as
our revered parents did. Granting that a
woman has the same rights as a man,
that they can do the same things as man,
can smoke, take cocktail. ride horse
astride, and such things that were once
considered as purely in mans province,
yet the doing of these things have ten
dency to bring the good woman down to
the level of the company she is in, TO
make the telling of a rlsque story in mix
ed company common matter. We dis
cuss eugeniCs with our children; they are
allowed to read almost any novel they
can get their hands on, and are allowed
liberties former generations werestransers
to.
A return to the 'old-fashioned'' ideas
of our mothers. to the time when the con-
ventionalities were observed, might be
looked upon as step backward by the
fast set of today, but to the thinking man
or woman who still believes in the sane
titv of the home and home life it would
help to establish purity that is sadly
lacking IN MANY families in this the twen-
tieth century. Washington Herald.

Report of Meeting of tuberculosis
Society.

Regular meetings OF the Frederick
County Anti tuberculosis Society were
resumed Tuesday night, after rest OF
three months over the summer perod;;
The business was largely routine ana
Miss Nellie NJ. Casey, the nurse OF the
association, made her report for the three
months OF June, July and August.
The report for these months follows:
Number of cases, 662; visits to patients,
A5o; miscellaneous calls, 1872. OF the
calls AZ were new calls and as result IS
patients were added to the visiting list OF
Miss Casey. The visiting list on the last
day OF August stood at 267.
The amount of work which Miss Casey
is doing and the number of patients to be
seen again brought up the question OF an
assistant to Miss Casey. The county IS
also becoming acquainted with the deslr-
ability OF having nurse visit patients
there, and there have been numerous re-
quests for the assistance of a nurse from
practically every section OF the county.
The members of the society were OF the
opinion that an assistant must be secured
for Miss Casey and 1t is expected some
thing will be done in the matter within
the next month or two. Miss Casey VIII
leave on her vacation Saturday, and 1t
was deemed best to defer any action in
the matter until she returns.
About year ago an assistant was Sc
cured and rendered much aid to Miss
Casey She remained here several months
and resigned, and soon after announce
ments of her marriage were received by
friends she had made during her stay
here. Since then no move has been
taken looking to the employment of an
assistant

eyes opened, they rebelled against the
oppressive system and abolished it in all
particulars, except as to the land titles,
which it was found very difficult if not
impossible to do entirely. Even as to
the land titles and ownership, it was
largely underlined, so that the great mass
otthe people could buy and own their
own home and property.
The people Of England are now wag-
ing a contest, which they will win, and
which is to abolish the privileges OF the
aristocracy, tax their land and force it

In this free country the American peo-
pie have permitted the Republican party,
or more properly speaking those who
control the Republican party, to establish
a leudal system which is far more OPP
pressive, calling and degrading than the
old feudal system Of Europe. The Re
publican party has established a class of
special interests which control the gov
eminent and control it TO advance their
own personal and financial interests,
without regard to the welfare Of the peo-
pie and not only without regard to their
welfare but to actually Cypress and rob
the people.
This country-supposed to be a coun
try Of free people wherein all the peo-
pie enjoy equal rights and equal oppor-
tunities, is. and has been, for fifty years,
under business and financial feudalism
of the special interests.
1t is called big interests by those COM

TEN Of combinations and trusts, railroads,
