CERTAINLY SOME VOICE

Here is a little story that was
told by Congressman John e. Baker,
of California, the other night. when
the talh topic in the lobby of a
hotel took a musical turn:
Some time ago the guests at a
reception were discussing the rela-
tive merits of several songsters. when
one of the party turned to man
named Brown.
"By the way. Brown" said he,
you are something of a singer, are
you not?"
"Not on your life!" was the en-
phatic response of Brown. "I never
sang note that somebody didn't
threaten to send in a riot call. You
are probably thinking of my brother"
Perhaps I am" was the thought
full rejoinder of the other. Has he
a heavy bass voice."

1t is always easy for the unthrifty to make
excuses, such as, 'Tf I got decent salary,
might save something. But the thrifty
person does not need to make excuses.

A watchman earning two dollars a

THE PATROL SYSTEM
MO more important move has be

n 10 more important move has been
! Y made in the history of the State
Highway Department than that
by which Commissioner CUNNINGHAM
this week put into effect the patrol
system Of road repairs in Pennsyl-
vania.
Heretofore all too many roads have
been rebuilt or otherwise put into first
class condition only to go to rack and
ruin because Of lack Of attention. One
has to go no farther than just across
the Susquehanna river from Harris
burg to find an example of such care
lessness. The highway from the river
to Camp Hill was reconstructed at
great expense to the property owners
ard the State. It was an excellent
piece Of road. But not a penny was
spent on repairs and to-day it is in
worse condition than ever, so far as
smoothness is concerned, although the
foundation is for the most part not
much damaged. Had Mr.. Cunning
hams patrol system been in effect this
road would still be as good as new.
The roads OF Maryland have been
the admiration of every Pennsylvania
who has ridden over them. It is in
teresting to note that most of them
were built by w. D. Uhler, now chief
engineer of the Pennsylvania State
Highway Department. Mr.. Uhler like
wise devised the patrol system by
which Maryland takes such splendid
care OF its highways and he also organ
lied the patrol system for Pennsyl-
vania. Henceforth there will be no
neglect of State highways. AS rapidly
as they are rebuilt they will be
patrolled as carefully as the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad patrols its right-of-
way, and the roadbed kept in first class
condition by men whose jobs will de-
pend on the efficiency of their work.
If the present highway administra-
ton had done no more than this 1t
would have left it's mark indelibly on
the history Of road-making in Penn
sylvania, but indications are that it is
merely a beginning.

SAFER TO RIDE THAN WALK
[From Phili

IFrom Philadelphia Ledger
The pennsylvania Railroad has made
1t safer to ride in one of its big steel
cars than TO walk. That company has
come through another fiscal year not
having killed one passenger on the en-
tire system, although it carried 1870, =
100000. The company operates 26, 600
miles of track in 13 different States
IT has been possible for the Pennsyl-
Vania to achieve this state of safety
only as a result of immense expendt-
ture OF money, This was the first rail-
road in the world to adopt the all
steel passenger coach, and to-day it
owns third of all such cars used in
the United States. 1t was also the
pioneer in laying the heaviest rails
upon rock-ballast roadway In ad-
dition to these betterments the PENN
sylVania has spent many millions for
stronger bridges, straighter and more
tracks. stouter locomotives and, above
all, an automatic electric block signal
system which protects passengers and
freight trains from the perils of col
lision. The result of all these vast
outlay5 and this wise expenditure of
capital is that nowhere else are SO
many safeguards flung around the
human life as when aboard one of
these fast-hying steel cars on our
greatest railroad. But the public
ought not to forget that to attain and
maintain such perfection costs the
railroad owners a larger share of each
dollar of revenue than was the case in
former times when passengers were
not so free from dangers.

LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT
By S. w. STRAUS
PreJidsEt AsHerie0H Sociey for Thrif

from one to three buildings each. Many
of them could get work only in the sum-
mer-time or in the busy seasons at the
factories. Thus their wages were un-
certain, but they saved little always and
acquired their property on the installment
plan.
One American, at least, took lesson
in thrift from our foreign-born citizens
few years ago. He was of Now England
ancestry and thought he had traditions to
keep up on his $50 week. Therefore he
had saved nothing when his thirty-eighth
birthday came around and he lost his posi-
ton. In trying to get another place he
found that from business point of view
he was considered an old man. So he and
his wife decided to start life on a new plan.
They sold their furniture for enough to pay
their debts, and rented fat for So week
in the italian quarter of large city. He
joined line of foreigners and got job
paying So a week. Out of this they saved
fifty cents-but they did not buy steak.
He studied his foreign co-laborers and
decided to become contractor himself.
He learned everything he could about
every detail of the business and about the
men themselves. He learned Italian from
friend and took course of masonry at
night trade school. He was next made
foreman at 81. 50 day.
The first year in the new life he and
his wife saved $500. BY the end of the
third year, having had other raises, they
with the help of their boy, had saved
81, 100 which was invested. The man
watched his opportunity and became an
independent contractor. After that the
family moved back to New England and
prospered.

HIGH COST OF BAGGAGE

T<HE vacation-bound tourist this
j year finds himself, for the first
time in his experience, held up
behind a line of his perspiring fellows,
in the baggage-room of the station,
while each in turn makes out dec
laration" of the true and full value of
his trunk and contents before the rail-
road company will check and carry
the trunk to his destination. The
weekend guest, going from city to
country, finds the extra charges on
the transportation OF her trunk a sum
much greater than the fare she pays
The commercial traveller, checking
and re-checking his sample trunks
several times each day, finds himself
facing a pleasant choice between a Jail
penalty for under-valuation and bag
gage charges in excess of commissions
and profits on orders taken, if he de-
clares each time the full value of his
5ewelry cases. for example.
The "Cummins amendment" which
went into effect last month, was in
form an amendment of the almost
equally famous Carmack amendment
to the Interstate Commerce Act in
1906. The CaEmack amendment had
required each carrier to give each
shipper a bill OF lading, and had
sought to prevent the carrier from
making any contract or ARRANGEMENT
with the shipper under which the car
lrier should be liable for less than the
full value of the goods, II lost or dam
aged. The United States Supreme
Court, however, in 1913, held that this
did not prevent differences in rate
based on the declared value of the
goods carried; and, in 1914, the same
court held, as to baggage, that IL the
carriers tariffs showed its ordinary
passenger rates to be based upon car
rying also not more than 500 worth
of baggage, and provided an additional
charge for the carriage of baggage in
excess of that value, a passenger who
paid only the ordinary fare and did
not declare value in excess of 800
and pay accordingly, could recover no
more than 500 for lost baggage. Some
of the States refused last year to fol-
low the Federal rule and held that the
passenger could recover the full value
unless the carrier had individually
asked him to state the value and he
failed then to state the full value.

THE GREATEST
CATARRH DOCTOR
in THE WORLD
MedIeated Air Kills The Germs Of
This Dangerous Disease.


Catarrh is a disease caused by a Catarrh
Germ. The sore, infamed membranes, the
blowing. hawking. splitting, choking and
other disagreeable symptoms are merely
conditions brought about by these germs
which have found lodgment In your nose
and throat.
It's relief, Of course, to find something
that stops the discharge, for a while, opens
up the air passages, let's you breathe easier
and soothes the swollen, infamed men,
branes. But such things do not drive out
catarrh germs because they do not reach
them and they do not cure catarrh.
There is. however, a preparation called
Hyomei. made from pure oil of Eucalyptus
combined with powerful m-destroying In
gradients, which does successfully treat and
cure Catarrh to stay cured. You neither
snuff it up your nose nor do you swallow it.
You just breathe its air through little
hard rubber inhaler which druggists furnish
with 1t.
The penetrating germ-killing air of Hy-
omei reaches where ointments, lotions,
stomach medicines, etc, cannot possibly
reach. Its odor rs pleasant, refreshing and
wholesome. You breathe great drafts Of It
far up in your nose. throat and lungs Its
air soothes and heals the infamed passages,
reiieyes the stnfYed.nn faei;nn sna 9fy rn.res
breathing easy. 1t does this as well or
better than anything you can use. But it
does more. Its powerful penetrating air is
positive, certain death to the catarrh germs
themselves. 1t seeks them ont wherever
they are hiding and breeding in your system
and destroys them utterly. When you have
destroyed the germs you have DESTROYED the
cause OF Catarrh and the disease leaves you
A complete Hyomei outfit includes both
bottle Of the Hyomei liquid whose air you
breathe and the rubber inhaler through
which you breathe 1t. Be sure to ask the
druggist from whom you buy for both, as the
inhaler Is quite necessary. 1t is packed
right in the box with the liquid. ODonnell's
Drug Store and other druggists in this vcin-
ity sell the Hyomei outfit this way on a
positive guarantee Of successful use or your
money back. Hyomei is without doubt the
greatest Catarrh doctor In the world.
