HAVE YOU HAD the GRIP

The debility and depression follow

condition and its seriousness is recog-

One authority says: Broadly
speaking, every victim of the grip will
suffer from post-grippal neurasthenia
also. Lowering of nervous tone, with

WHERE CARE COUNTS

THE three most serious accidents
in the anthracite coal field last
4 year appear, from the advance
reports of the State Department
of Mines for 1914, to have been the re-
suit of lack of care. They took toll of
twenty-seven lives. In one instance a
cage was allowed to be overwound,
and in another a defect dropped Il
cage into the depths of a mine.
The summary of the district reports
shows a decrease in the number of
fatalities and gratifying increase in
the tonnage per life lost. 1t sounds
rather cold blooded to make such a
statement. but it is only by demon
strating what it costs in human life
that people can be brought to a
realization of the necessity of precau-
tions and the State upheld in its eXer-
else of supervisory power
Every additional precaution, every
new safeguard in a coal mine means
protection to the workers Safety is
the slogan of the hour in all industry.
But appliances are of little use with
out care. 1t would seem that educa-
tion and discipline are now the great .
est need.

JIAISIY's HAIR CUT

Jimmys had a hair cut!
How the folks all stare,
It's so short you see his skin
Showing through his hair.
'Twasn't what he had before,
Cut all round a bowl;
1t was in that barber store
BY the candy pole.
Jimmy's had a hair cut!
We were there to see,
Looking through the window-pa
All the boys with me.
He was worried there alone,
Trying hard to grin,
On a kind of great big throne,
Wrapped up to his chin.
Jimmys had a hair cut
Course 1t scared him some,
All those shears and cups and things
Sort of struck him dumb.
Jimmy'S mother saved a curl
She feels bad, I know.
That he wasn't born a girl
And could let them grow.
Jimmys had a hair cut
My. 1t made him proud,
Walking out while all of us
Followed in n crowd.
He got pretty rich that day,
Fore he went to bed.
He made every fellow pay
Just to smell his head.

OPTINUSTS

~ CSINESS in general ought to take
X a lesson from the automobile
H. dealers of Harrisburg, who on
Saturday bought nearly twelve
pages of advertising space in the Tele-
graph to express their confidence in
the prosperity of the coming season
and to set forth for readers the merits
of the machines they are offering for
sale. They have declined to agree
with men in some other lines of trade
that the war can long hold back busi-
ness in this country or that even the
handicap of the tariff under present
conditions is sufficient to prolong the
dun period of the past year. So they
are spending their money in publicity
on an unprecedented scale, and reports
from the two automobile shows now in
progress in Harrisburg indicate that
their judgment has been good. for
many sales are being made right on
the floor, while the crowds are bigger
than ever before.

MONDAY EVENING. MARCH is
DOOM OF THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC

a NYONE who can read the signs
"A of the times in legislative bills
4 y must be struck by the provisions
of those which have been max
ing their appearance in the Pennsyl-
vania General Assembly 1t would
seem that men all over the State are
anxious to take n whack at the liquor
traffic.
Not only has the Legislature before
it the Williams local option bill, spon-
sored by Governor Brumbaugh, and
Offering a fair and square way of OH
tanning the will of the people of coun-
" on the licensing of places for the
sale of intoxicants. but it has a pro-
posed prohibition amendment, 4 bill
for local prohibition, measures to pro-
hibit the shipment or carrying of
liquor into dry territory, an anti
treating bill with the burden put on
the seller. bills to restrict amounts that
may be sold; to make more stringen,
provisions against supplying liquor
to minors and TO forbid what arc
known in other parts of the State as
wagon sales
In addition there may be mentioned
the Evans bill, which makes II o'clock
the closing hour. This is the first anti
liquor bill to come out of committee
md is now before the House on sec
Dnd reading. 1t illustrates better than
anything else the changed conditions.
Whoever heard of an early closing"
bill getting out of committee of the
House. For years the temperance
forces besought the committee in
charge of law and order bills to per-
NIT local option to come out on the
floor and be given a fair test. Now the
liquor people are asking that the same
he done with local option, fearing the
effect of the rising tide of public opin-
ion which is backing Governor Brum-
bauEh's stand.
Things have indeed changed in the
Pennsylvania Legislature. The peo-
pie are making their wants known,
and one of them is the passage of To-
cal option. The men and women of
the Keystone State have set their faces
against the liquor traffic and its end is
bound to come before long in Penn

MAKE THE LAW UNIFORM

n TOW that the Legislative Com
IN mission to study the cold storage
situation has reported, little ex-
cuse remains for the General
Assembly delaying action on
Strengthening out the tangle that exists
in the State over regulation of the big
business which has grown up to meet
modern demands. Cold storage food
is an essential part of our supply. 1t
gives up various things when they are
out of season, and while food specula- =
tors have used the privilege to store
in times of plenty to exact more than
a fair profit, the fact remains that the
business as such is entitled to a square
deal in legislation.
The Legislature of 1913 enacted a
cold storage law that did not suit any
one. 1t was a composite affair, passed
because the people of all parties were
pledged to some regulation, and it was
recognized that il was a makeshift
when provision was made for an in
commission did just about enough in
vestigating to demonstrate the neces-
sity for laws on the subject and its
conclusions may be summed up in the
recommendation that Pennsylvania
should have a cold storage law in uni
fcrmity with those of other States. AS
few States have cold storage laws alike.
this recommendation does not amount
to much more than an expression OF
opinion. However, there is now in the
Legislature a bill drafted by men OF
authority on the subject which is pend
ing in other States and which is de-
signed to bring about uniformity. 1t
ought to be taken up promptly by the
committee in charge and acted upon.
And while this is going on no time
should be lost in consigning to oblivion
the repeal of the act of 1913, with
nothing to offer in its place, as is pro-
posed in a bill from Erie.
Cold storage. according to the COM
missions report, may be abused. IT is
better to have law uniform with
some other States that can be enforced
than none at all.

rope regard il great changes would
take place in the trade currents. Now
the European viewpoint is being thrust
upon Americans and it would be a ven
turesome man indeed who would un-
dertake to define the effect this new
condition will have on the business of
the world.
A beginning already has been made
in aniline dyes, in the manufacture of
which Germany had virtual mon
opoly. This will be followed into many
related lines. Even If the war were
to end tomorrow this development
would seem the closing of the Ameri-
can market to Er-ope and if the war
lasts long time the rest of the world
will learn to turn TO us, not only for
dyestuffs, but for other things that
it has been the habit to procure in
Europe.
For instance. the shipyards along
the Atlantic coast are exceedingly busy
building vessels that under ordinary
circumstances would have been laid
down on the Clyde or by one of the
great Irish or German shipbuilding
concerns. Is it too much TO expect
that with a general elevation of the
cost of labor and materials, which is
certain to occur in Europe and which
will have tendency to equalize prices
on both sides of the Atlantic. some of
this trade will become fixture in this
country" Indeed, is it not to be eX-
pected that there will be a general
movement of this character toward
the United States even if we do not
encourage it as Systematically as it
would be encouraged in Germany. to
mention the country that has most
aggressively and intelligently reached
for overseas commerce during the
past two or three decades?

RESULTS OF THE WAR

"A of peace talk" there is not
1 \ much prospect that there will
he u cessation of hostilities in
Europe until after the forces in the
field have demonstrated the compare
tive value of the plans and prepara-
tions which have engaged the atten-
ton of the general staffs and board of
strategy in London, Berlin, Petrograd
and Vienna during the winter. In
spite of pressure at home to stop the
slaughter and the destruction of capi-
tai, the war lords of all the beIIiger-
en- nations will be anxious to have at
least one more throw with the fatal
dice-and they may want many more.
But even if the struggle could be
brought TO a stop before the Spring
campaigns open anything approaching
statu quo ante bellum is out of the
question, and it already is apparent
that no matter who wins or upon what
terms peace is restored what might be
called the incidental effect will far
outweigh in Importance the direct
cost. And this condition will be-
come more pronounced as the strug-
gle is prolonged. If the war lasts as
long as Lord Kitchener saws il will. il is
quite possible that some of the par

have been driven to the point OF dis
traction through the uncertainty OF
their fate. owing to the dislocation OF
the mail service. The desolation OF
these lands by the awful conflict that
las ragged around about them has
caused in numberless instances sepa-
ration OF parents from children, wives
from husbands. and sisters from
brothers. and has filed the hearts OF
hundreds OF thousands OF foreign-bor
Jews throughout this country with
terror. for among the two million
Jews now living in the United States
are found persons coming from every

Galicia and Poland in which Jews
dwell, and these are extremely anx-
