Get Paid for BATHING.

To promote health and comfort
among their 700 employees, Harrison
Bros. & Co. of this city have offered
to give every man employed at their
plant Is cents. each time he takes a
bath.
There are no strings to the offer. All
that is necessary is that the bath be
taken in the deliberately fitted bath
rooms of the concern. AS soon as a
workman finishes bathing he will re-
ceive a check from an attendant, and
on pay day he may have the checks
cashed at the rate of Is cents apiece.
The idea was suggested by DR.. Fran
els D. Patterson, fromer chief police
surgeon of this city, whom the com
pany has secured to look after the well
fare of the men. Or. Patterson is an
old University of Pennsylvania foot
bali player and oarsman.-Phllldet

There is scarcely any violation of
the Decalogue that is more sinful
than where one gets angry at another
for simply disagreeing with him on
some matter CT doctrine or opinion. 1t
IS sinful. because in the first place
there is no just reason for it. One
man has as good right TO his opinion
as another man has, for in neither
case can either be certain that his doc
trine is true. There are no truths eX-
cept what are automatic, self-evident,
or what God says, and any man who
declares something different and is
mad at another because he does not
&gree with him is worse than the 9th
er, even if that man was wrong in his
opinion. This doctrine teaches the
lesson of patience. equanimity and
kindness: and if it was well learned
and acted upon the world would grow
brighter and happier. and the truth
would have great deal better chance.
