CLEAN HANDS.

Disease germs lead hand to mouth
existence If the human race would
learn to keep the unwashed hand away
from the mouth many human diseases
would be greatly diminished. We
handle infectious matter more or less
constantly and we continually carry
the hands to the mouth. If the hand
has recently been in contact with IN
fectious matter the germs of disease
may in this way be introduced into
the body. Many persons wet their
fingers with saliva before counting
money, turning the pages OF book.
or performing similar acts. In this
case the process is reversed, the infec-
ton being carried to the object han
died, there to await carriage to the
mouth of some other careless person.
In view of these facts the United
States public health service has
formulated the following simple rules
of personal hygiene and recommends
their adoption by every person IN the
United States.
Wash the hands immediately
Before eating,
Before handling, preparing or serv-
ing food,
After using the toilet,
After attending the sick, and
After handling anything dirty.

The chamber of commerce has
launched a movement for "Pay-Up
Week. in Pine Bluff to be observed
from October 2 to 9, which has been
designated as National Pay-Up
Week" The idea is to have you pay
Jones that S. you've owed for several
months, that he may pay Brown, and
Brown pay Smith. This will enable
Smith to return to you that Give
spot" he borrowed several moons
since. The result will be to square"
a lot of accounts and leave everybody
with just as much cash as they had
before. The purpose Of "Pay-Up
Week" is to secure that cooperation
that will tend to avert the catastro-
phe of having the S. stop circulating
before it reaches an owner. For a
person in debt does not own the money
he may have in his possession.

Everyone in the United States
realized that Ex-J ustioe Charles E
Hughes would find it difficult to adj
vance reasons why he should be fay-
ored by the voters over President Will
son, but few believed that the former
supreme court member would resort
to misrepresentation and falsifica-
ton. His descent to such tactics was
promptly given attention, and the
charges shown 10 be absolutely with
out foundation. Mr.. Hughes is per-
uniting the "blg interests" to make of
him pitiable spectacle.

Hughes is in one helluvafix: He
criticises President Wilson'S foreign
policy and Mexican policy, and yet he
dares not say he would have acted
otherwise. He may criticise President
Wilson for keeping the country out of
war, but he's afraid to say that had
he been president he would have pur-
sued a different course and plunged
the United States into the world con-
flict or guerilla warfare with Mexico.

ANTHRACITE OPERATORS i. TURN DOWN DEMANDS OF
 MINERS FOR INCREASES

New York, Feb. 4-The Anthracite Coal Co. yesterday rejected the de- mands of the miners for 20 per cent. advance in wages, recognition of the United Mine Workers of America, a two-yeAr agreement, and an eight hour day. The answer was at a meeting at 143 Liberty street, attend ed by the heads of>19 anthracite coal companies, all of whom signed the statement.
 Pending the outcome of the joint conferences between the operators and the representatives of the mine work CTS however beginning, Feb. 21 at the McA1pin hotel, there will be no cessa- tlon Of work by mem bers of the union This is in keeping with the promise made the miners at their recent con Vention in Indianapolis.
 The anthracite operators assert in their reply to the United Mine Work CTS that to grant the wage increase would mean an advance to thel con- sumer of 60 cents a ton for domestic sizes of anthracite. They. declare that the industry already is being. conduct ed on as low a margin of profit as possible, and that to take. on addition al burdens would result in a cores bonding 5hardship on the public.
 The demands of the anthracite min CTS were formulated at their tri-dis- triet convention at wiIkes-Barre, Penn, Sept 7 to 1os 1915, and reaf- Hr1ned and indorsed at the convention recently held in Indianapolis
 They demanded that the two-year contract with the operators Commence on April 1, 1916, and that the making Of individual agreements and con tracts be prohibited; that in addition to an eight hour day they be paid time and a half for over tzne and double time for Sundays and holidays that a more speedy means be devised for adjusting grievances; that mining sup plies be sold to the miners on a more equitable basiss and that the arrange ments of detailed wage scales and the settlement of internal questions, both as regards pricgs and conditions, be referred to the representatives of the

POLICE TO TAKE CARE OF INSANE
 CASES AT NIGHT
Dispute of Long Standing Apparently Settled By
 Commissioners.

Announcement has been made by Dr. T. T. Ellis of the board of chari- ties, that hereafter insane cases of emergency in the night time will be handled by the emergency hospital night corps, assisted by the police. It now appears that Investigator Alex ander F. Morrissey will no more be called out of bed to handle cases of this nature.
 According to statute of the state, insane cases must be handled by the department of charities. Policemen assert they are required to assist in such cases but the handling of insane patients is not compulsory upon their part.
 Commissioner Ellis said that it was unfair to call a, man out of bed at a late hour after completing a long day s work and. require him to handle in- sane patients. He said that the night surgeon at the emergency hospital Should he require physical help, he will be privileged to call upon the po- lice. 5s
 Should the patient be demented, but not reported as being violent, the emergency hospital surgeon must ham, de the case unaided by the police Only in eases of necessity shall he be privileged to call upon the police for aid.
 This statement of the commissioner is the means of settling a long stand ing dispute between the police and charities Employees. During. the day tigator Alexander F. Morrissey and should he need help he will be priv ileged to call upon the police for as- sistance.

I the fire was that made to save the lt- l brary building which is said to be one of the most beautiful on the contin- sent, and the fight was successful While the fire burned the passage from the reading room up to the walls of the library, it's progress was stayed there. No damage was done to the building but considerable loss to the books, particularly those which were in the basement, was. caused by water The fire was under control about 5 o'clock though several streams are still being played on t'ee inter for.
 Morning has not revealed any cas- ualties other than those reported last night, Madame Bray and Madame Morin, of Quebes, who were the guests of the speaker and who were caught and suffocated in a roon9s and the three men who are thought to be bur the list. They were caught when a turret at the north side of the build ing fell. MT. Ioggie, who was report ed missing is now believed to have es- capped through near exit with slight injuries.
 The fire started in the reading room of the House of Commons. Colonel Sherwood stated that. there is abso- lutely no ground for rumors that the fire was of incendiary origin.
 'sIt started right under the nose of a policeman,,' he shouted.
 The fire spread with amazing ra- pidity but this may be explained by the contents of the room-papers, light tables. etc
 The report of a warning from Prov idence two weeks ago is officially de- nied.
 The central part of the main build ing the chambers of both the com
 mons and senate, is destroyed, but the front and end walls are apparently in good shape though experts will have to determine the structural dam 1 age. Both the east and west ends of the buildings are but little dam aged with the exception of the roof and top floors. The towers were completely ruined, the superstructure falling, though the masonry still stands.

operators and miners of each district.
 Say Food Is 40 Per Cent. Higher
 The miners asserted in Justification of their demands5Jfor better pay that the cost of food in 12 years had in- creased 40 per cent. and wages 5 E per cent. The operators deny this presenting figures to show that the cost of living has gone up only IS per cent, as against an increase of 36 per cent. in the workers earning capacity. The increased prosperity of the anthracite miner. the operators assert is far in advance of other classes of labor.
 The demand for recognition of the union is met with the statement that this would subject the anthracite region to the politics of an organiza- ton absolutely controlled from the outside" because a majority of the members of the United Mine Workers are employed in the bituminous coal fields.
 ''The rights of organized labor are fully protected. by the open shop principle established by the Anthra-l cite Coal Strike Commission, the re- ply of the operators says.
 The miners asserted in making their demands that the contract provision8 between the union and the operators were antiquated, and the reply of the latter is that this is a 'smisleading statement, since the award of. the Anthracite Commission provided for a board of conciliation, through the operation of which strikes and lock- outs would become unnecessary
 This award was made in 1902, and the anthracite operators declare it has stood the test of l years, and that any. departure from the rules laid down by the commission would be a .'step backward and an encourage ment to labor troubles in the antra- cite field.
 Of the proposed tvvo-year agree ment the operators say: As a busi- ness agreement it is shown by actual experience in the bituminous field to- threaten a bfyearly disturbance of the peace and. prosperity of the miners, operators, and the general public.''

 miles to the Gulf of Cattaro.''
