WORK RESUMED
lat the Various Coal Mines
Located in the sTygart's
Valley.

BBL1NGTON, Nov. 6.-The coal
mines along the Tygarts Valley are
beginning to show signs Of great i'm.
lprovement. Plenty Of work in sight
and the miners who have been on the
I"watchful waiting list are now Sc.
lecting. their places. The railroad
companies are repairing cars, but this
has been put OF so long that car
shortage will be the next and greater
thing to hinder.
The Davis Colliery Company has
started to open up the Junior mines
which have been closed for some
months. The cost Of starting these
mines alone cost nearly $4,000, so Il
is estimated that it will run for sew
eral months. This means good bus
mess for this section.
Preparations are under way at the
Meriden mines for large tonnage.
Century, Lillian, Arden and Gage
are working daily.
Dartmoor and Weaver are working
better than for many months and
within a few weeks will be working
full.
Other small mines are running right
up to their capacity and by December
i all the amines and ovens In this ter
ritory viii be under full blast.

.SHO D
OBSERVE CAUTION
Remember All T.safety First
Slogans in Order to Re-
duce Accidents.

To eliminate hunting accidents en-
courage consideration by hunters Of
the land owners rights 1t would be
well for would-be hunters to observe
the following advice:
First, If you intend hunting on
lands other than your own, be sure
to have the owners permission before
entering any premises.
Don't Shoot Near Houses.
Don't shoot while hunting near
houses, barns Or other buildings near
stock CT where teams are at work.
Look out for the man husking corn
or otherwise at work in the fields. Do
not cut or injure wire or other fences
or property Of any kind; remember
you are greatly favored when permit
ted to hunt and make certain that the
person extended the courtesy has no
occasion to complain Of reckless OF
|unsportsmanlike shooting.
Remember your license merely au-
thorizes you to hunt lie you are COM
plying with every law relating to the
subject. It does not permit you to
enter any premises without the own
ers permission. The absence OF mo
hunting does not change the situation.
sSafety First
Remember all the safety first
slogans and recommendations. Don't
load the gun until you are in the
fields or woods where game might be
expected. Never permit the loaded
gun to be pointed toward any person
within range. When going through
|briars, high weeds or underbrush,
keep the muzzle well elevated.
1.-THE safest plan when going over
fences is to withdraw the shells. When
going through fields or woods where
no opportunity for an Immediate shot
is expected. it is a good plan to carry
the gun broke
above all things do not place a
loaded gun in an automobile or buggy.
Rabbits are plentiful and most
land owners want them thinned out.
Respect Trespass Laws.
"If only hunters carefully respect
the trespass and other laws relating
to this subject, hunting can be con-
itinued and regarded as a Legitimate
and healthful form Of recreation.
There has been wonderful improve
ment In this respect during the last
few years with the result that the at
titude Of land owners toward the hunt
er, has changed correspondingly.s

Use Of Face Ponder is
Condemned BY Jeps0n
Declares That 1t is Actually an
Evil as Great as the yell
low Peril. .s5

ssThe Peril Of Face Powder" Is
hailed as great an evil as the yellow
peril by DR.. s. L. Jepson, Of the state
public health council.
Dr.. Jepson, in the Public Health
Council Bulletin, issues sweeping
warning Of the danger that turks be-
hind, the fancily painted lids on the
average powder box of milady.
Or. Jepson says. Some prepare
lions Of face powder are the cause of
Inflammation of the eyes. This form
OF Inflammation occurs from obvious
reasons; almost exclusively in women.
They will complain that the vision
- blurred;;s that they cannot read or
few for any length of time, that the
lids burn and itch, sometimes intol-
efably and that rubbing the lids only
aggraEates the itching.
The reason for that is that many
Of these toilet powders commonly
known as rice powders, contain, in
ADDITION to the rice powder, other In
gradients which irritate the delicate
membranes Of the eye. Sixteen sam
pels of the SO called rice powder were
recently analysed and Of this number
only two consisted entirely of rice and
only six contained any rice at ali.
Women who are accustomed to us
ing face powder should be careful %
select only .hoss r.-tpar:tiens which
are pure and free from harmful sub
stitntes. In applying powder to the
face 1t IS much safer to use cloth
ana rub the powder on the skin ram
er dian to apply 1t with a pun. as by
the latter method the cowder Is driv-
en- upward and lodges on the moist
eye bnli.
'sIhe tears then change It into q mus
cilage which lodges behind the eye
lids and produces untold danger and

Says Magazine.

We have to ask ourselves some
searching questions in all sincerity.
II Germany seemed hard to deal with.
and II German public opinion seemed
embittered against us, was it not
largely due to the fact that we were
demanding that Germany observe
every jot and title of International
law. while we were submitting with
out complaint to an, unlimited inter-
ference with neutral rights at sea on
the part Of Great Britain? And at
the very same time were we not our
selves violating the spirit Of neutral-
Iity by greedily seeking immense prof

many's enemies with munitions or

established our moral position. We

with the cause Of the allies, says the
American Review Of Reviews for No

|of England and France who came
here recently on a successful mission
to secure financial credit and support
with which to carry on the war, were

TEN REASONS
WHY women
SHOULD VOTE
Humanity and Justice Demand
That They Be Giventhe
Ballot.
I vote for woman suffraesee

"A vote for woman suffrage is q
vote for
Justice, for # is fundamentally
and obviously unjust to grant to one
sex q monopoly Of the powers Of gov
ernment. while exacting from the
other its share Of the maintenance Of
government, says the New York Amer
lean. 4 II
2-Temperance: Whiskey has no
more unrelenting foe than woman.
( Humanity: Child labor, the sweat
shop, undue hours OF labors, the OPP
preston Of the weak, all arouse the
indignation OF. woman and will not
survive her possession Of the ballot.
Good morals: Neither white
slavery nor the economic conditions
which cause It, nor the laxity Of di-
vorce laws can Withstand woman's
opposition when she has the political
power to express It.
ECONOMY: Woman is the econ
omfst in the household. Given her
way, economy would be imposed on
city, state and nation.
6-The schools: No woman, will
ever submit to such starvation Of the
public school system as is being ef.
fected in Greater New York by. men
politicians OF the Prendergast and
Mitchell type. ]
Peace: When women hold the
balance OF power at the polls no adj
ministration will venture to rush the
nation to the brink Of war.
Social reform: Every agency for
the betterment Of humanity now fncs
its main support among women. With
the ballot they can help to enact into
law those sneedful reforms which now
they can advance only by agitation.
political Independence: No wo-
man will submit to the dictation OF
a political boss. That is why the
bosses, like Nugent in New Jersey.
are SO bitter against woman suffrage.
I 10-Progressive government: It is
characteristic Of women to demand
and get all she is entitled to In hotels,
shops, trains or other public places.
The government created and MAIN
tanned by women voters will have to
be serviceable, progressive govern
ment, giving good reason for its ex-l
and full ling its functions with
efficiency, or be voted out.
These are ten good reasons why
men should vote to give women the
same right to share in the conduct Of
the government as they now have to
share in the conduct Of the home.

HEALTH
Next to Mothert ood, 1t is svvo-
mans Greatest Power,
Says Dixon.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Nov. s,Prope,
cooking ts q necessity to good health
which is impressed upon every one BY
DR.. Samuel q. Dixon, the state com
missioner of health. in his Little Talk
on Health and Hygiene" this week.
The title is Cooking and he re-
marks upon the vast amount Of energy
which has been spent upon this art,
with q comparatively small amount OF
knowledge gained therefrom. Doctor
Dixon also makes the point that abil-
tty to cook well means that the house
hold table can be set much more eco
nomically. He says.
Since our primitive ancestors
squatted around the cookery pots az
ter hunts for odstuffs, an inconceiy-
able amount of effort has been ex-
pended In the practice Of the art Of
preparing food. Considering the en-
ergy spent in experimentation the ac-
cumulative knowledge has not been
extensive. : \. n
Every member Of the human race
from early childhood to the grave now
depends principally upon cooked food
to maintain life.
It is not without reason that cook
cry is called an art. There Is nothing
which does more to build up and main
tain good health than the proper prep
aration Of food. 1t may be considered
the first essential. It lis commonly
considered mental task, yet next to
motherhood It is one Of the most im-
portant. (
Thanks to modern methods Of
transportation and commercial enter
prise there has never been time in
the history Of mankind when SO vast a
selection OF foodstuffs was at the dis
posal Of all people. This should prove
q large asset to the race, for a variety
OF foods well prepared serves to give
a we'll balanced nourishment conduc-
i've to a proper growth and sustenance
OF body and brain. :,
Improperly cooked foods lead
quicker to distress of body and mind
than almost any other factor. Pow
erty, unhappinesss and dissipation can
in many instances be traced to poor
cooking. s
among the least expensive foods,
we may find. IL well prepared, those
which form nourishing and tasteful
diet. With the necessity for economy
becoming more pressing as the pop
ulation Of the world increases, there is
no one line Of effort better worthy Of
study and attention than the science
