TELEORAPH'S PERISCOPE

Have you noticed how very Chester
field-like the average politician has
been the last two weeks?
The elections board will be kept
busy pointing pencils tomorrow, judg-
ing by the length of the ballots.
Just few more days of this cleo
ton stuff and then the papers will be-
gin to fill their space with pictures of
pretty girls in tennis and bathing cos
tunes instead of mudslinging cartoons.
The reason so many young fellows
about town have so little leisure time
is that they are kept awfully busy roll
ing their own cigarets.
What does Washington mean, a
"gentlemans" agreement with the
Mexican Government?

way to eliminate fly.
The typhoid fever fly is to Harris
what the yellow fever mosquito was to
Havana, only worse in its way, for
while the mosquito carried yellow
fever alone. the fly carries all manner
of death-dealing germs. and any one
of dozen diseases may be traced TO
1t. Surely we as citizens can do for
Harrisburg what the army did for
Havana.

"The power of dress Is very
great In commanding respect"
Every man should take thought
of that proverbs every woman
will.
To dress badly is to mark ones
self down.
Foppishness is foolish, but in
between the extremes is the
happy mean.
Good clothes are rung in the
success ladder for man or wo-
man.
And the guide to good dress
ing, to sensible well made
clothes, sold at honest valuations
will he found in the advertising
of this newspaper. It's worth
reading.

The operation of the derrick and hoisting engine instead of the caisosn tower ana cable way will not seriously affect working conditions and for each scow approximately the same num- Der of men will be employed.
