THAT VACATION FUND


A BOUT the middle of July the
~ annual vacation epidemic will
4 \ be in full swing in its most vio-
lent form. About that time
the call of the mountain or the seaside
becomes we'll nigh irresistible So
strong will be the desire that many
of us will be willing to stake the price
of next Falls coal supply against the
risk of being able to pay back a loan
Of sufficient size to meet the very real
need of the moment.
This call from work to play is not
to be discouraged. 1t is only nature
voicing her demand for that change
of occupation which for most of us
constitutes all the rest we really need.
The evil lies not in cutting work.
but in mortgaging our income to pro-
vide the funds without which "vaca-
ton" is small fun.
There is a way to avoid this. Sys-
tematic saving, a trifie every day, will
accomplish the end. Nothing grows so
rapidly as money at interest and a
savings bank account from now until
the middle Of July, added to at the
end of every week, will be surprisingly
large. With such a foundation vaca-
tioning is real fun. But trip to for
est or beach made on borrowed money
is apt to leave a very bad taste in the
mouth and there is small amusement
in paying for dead horse"

AN INTERPRETED SPEECH

THE speeches Congressman A,

Gently are quite in keeping
with his reputation as friend OF
business and industry. Mr.. Palmers
only fault is that he is inclined at
times to be bit involved and for
that reason we supply here lib

pleasing advice he is handing out to
the voters.
Friends and fellow citizens, [ am
here to urge you to rise above sor-
did regard for the pay envelope. We
have higher and nobler duties to per-

that Mr.. Mccormick and L shall be

We hear an awful lot about the
tariff nowadays and some of you fel.

we were simply reciting cold facts
when we told you that the Underwood
law would bring down prices and put
fllet mignon and automobiles within
the reach of every pocketbook
Surely, you must understand thai
when politician is advocating an,
given measure, he has to lay it or

ATTENTION, HUSBANDS
BY Wing Dinger

A married couple asked me
To dine with them last week,
When hub got off good one,
Bout which I'd like to speak
Housecleaning was in order,
In the corner rugs were piled,
And hubby seeing them, to wife
Thus spoke in manner mild:
Those rugs were there this morning
When to work | went away.
Please tell me why you women
Didn't clean them up to-day?"
And wifey answered sharply,
why what is wrong with you.
Why don't you go and beat them?
It's work that you should do"
Then hubby said: Dear WHEY,
| think that you're quite right,
But / work daytime and rug
Should not be beat at night"
u don't see why" said wifey.
(And now's the time to clap
Because, my dear" said hubby.
You see it spoils the nap"

DEATH OF GEORGE f. BAER

w ITH modest services, as he
M would have desired, George F.
w Baer, president of the Reading
railroad system, was laid at
rest in his beloved Reading to-day.
One of the great pillars of Ameri-
can railroad development has fallen
and the life work of Mr.. Baer will be
more largely appreciated as his
achievements are better understood.
His courage and high sense of duty
were prominent characteristics of the
man. He never hesitated to do the
thing which he believed to be right
and all the scoffing and >sneering OF
his critics never once swerved him
from the path of duty which he had
marked out for himself. His death is
n distinct loss to the creative and con-
structive activities of Pennsylvania.

aNENT THE "sPRING TONIC"

ANIJNI lo4NiS
F the present trend keeps up the
drug store may have to go out of
business. Last week Harrisburg
physicians were told by DR.. j.
Madison Taylor, of Temple University,
that medicine is not necessary for the
cure of many diseases, and that he
accomplishes marvels by manipula-
ton and mechanical devices. Now
comes that conservative publication,
the Journal of the American Medical
Association, hitting in knockout fash
ion at our old friend, the Spring
tonic
THE best Spring tonics," says the
Journal '"are the gifts of beneficent
Nature. A full breath of fresh Spring
air, a brisk walk along a grass grown
road, plunge into the cool water of
the old swimming hole-if the water
is pure and cold-or the morning
shower if in the city, fresh green food,
or the pursuit after a bounding golf
ball over springy course-those are
real invigorators, true tonics."
But what's a fellow to do after he
has pulled the tacks and hammered
EN- in again, carried 1000 pounds of
carpet downstairs and up again,
beaten out 100 pounds of dust and
swallowed most of it, dined off the
kitchen sink for Il week on odds and
ends at which the family cat would
sniff in disdain, and tried to keep his
peace with a wife entertaining a
housecleaning temper? What, we re-
peat, would the Journal prescribe In a
case like this? A quick reply would
be appreciated. We are personally
interested.
