good Discipline as regards separation
of the sexes, ventilation of rooms, etc,
appears to be much improved.
improvements: The kitchen has been
painted and papered. The general ap-
pearance of the interior Of the house
is much better than a year ago.
One man, said to be suffering from
venereal disease, uses the same toilet
facilities as the other men. The odor
in his room is very offensive. If. as the
matron understands, his trouble is in
fictitious, he should be more careful
~ segregated at whatever cost.
PHIPPSBURG TOWN FARM.

supply from we'll; heating by stoves;
lighting by oil lamps; drainage from
earth closets may possibly affect wa
ter supply.

HOW TO FLY THE
STARS AND STRIPES

All persons should, but some appar-
entity have neglected to inform them
selves as to the correct treatment of
the Stars and Stripes when being
raised, while flying and on being low
cred. Several instances have been
called to the attention Of the authori-
ties where what is considered by mill
tary people disrespect has been shown
Old Glory. For that reason the fol-
lowing instructions, taken from the
United States Military Regulations,
will be worth reading and worth OBJ
serving:
Under no circumstances, either in
raising or lowering a flag, should it be
allowed TO touch the ground.
Flags should not be allowed to re-
main flying at night.
Care should always be taken that
the union IS at the top Of the flag.
In hanging a flag horizontally from a
building the union should be on the
side away from the building.
The national flag should be above
the state flag when both are displayed
from tho same staff.
When a flag is displayed at half
staff It should first be raised to the
top Of the staff and then lowered to
the proper position which is halfway
between the top and tho middle Of the
staff-literalIy at three.quarters- staff.
A flag displayed at half-staff as a
mark Of respect should be returned to
the top Of the staff at the conclusion
of funeral services Of the person thus
honored.
For Memorial Day flags should be
at half staff from sunrise until noon.
At noon they should be raised to the
top Of the staff and remain there un-
til sunset.
The union Of the national flag now
consists Of 4s stars, in six rows, eight
stars in each row.

Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks

New York, June 22.-Quoted values
experienced further irregular influence
and heavy selling of the preceding
days being renewed in consequence of
the more acute status Of the Mexican
situation. The movement was consist
ent in that it had its inception at the
opening of the days operations and
except for ftful rallies continued to
the end.
Mexicans were less affected as
group than other well-known special
ties, Petroleum losing only ~ at its
worst, with 1874 for Greene Cananea
while Mexican Smelling lost little or
no ground and Texas Co. made an
actual gain.
Metals were again the weakest fea-
lures. Butte and Superior losing 81
and American Zinc 2, making a total
of eight for the latter issue in the two
sessions. Coppers followed the trend
of allied stocks regardless Of the in
creases by dividend declared on in
spiration which appeared to have been
discounted by the trading element.
United States Industrial Alcohol
was the objective of a severe drive in
the last hour. recording an extreme
loss of ~ on rumors that it had been
decided to postpone a prospective ex-
ira dividend. Other stocks of the same
volatile description as well as NUM-
tions, were lower by to 8 points.
Shipping shares and some Of the lead
ing motors yielded their early gains,
most of them showing net declines.
Rock Island was again the most ac-
tive issue in the railway division, but
fell under realizing sales, losing the
greater part Of the preceding days
three-point advance. Union Pacific
was almost the sole important rail-
way stock to make actual Roadway.
though falling back at the feverish
close Total sales amounted to $4,000
shares.
Both the Bank Of England and the
Bank of France reported slight gains
in gold holdings over the previous
week and Canada's daily contribution
to this center were increased by $4,-
100000, bringing the total from across
the northern border on the present
movement up to above ST., 100000.

slight concessions in international is
sues. Total sales, par value, aggregat-
ed $3,37s,000. United States As adj
