Distressing Accident.

A most distressing accident
occurred last Thursday afternoon
at the home of w. H. Horton,
Turtle Creek, Pa. In some un-
accountable way, Mrs. Horizons
dress caught fire from an open
coal CRATE, and she ran scream
ing into the yard, where her
daughter, Miss Bess, succeeded
in extinguishing the flames, but
not until her mother had been
painfully burned. The unfortu-
nate woman was taken to the
hospital at once, where she had
every attention possible, but at
10 O'Clock that evening she pass
ed away. The funeral took place
at South Fork, Pa, on Saturday.
Mrs. Horton was a native of
Wells Valley, being a sister of
ex-County Commissioner William
L. Sprowl.

Nice Promotion.

This office had a pleasant call
yesterday morning from Norris
E. Hoover, who came to spend a
few days with his home folks.
Mr.. Hoover has been with the
Westinghouse anu f acturing
Company, Pittsburgh, for two
years. Of course, he started on
the ground floor; there's where
they all start, The difference is,
that some fellows. quit on the
ground floor. while others keep
climbing up and up, until they
plant their feet on the ball at the
top of the cupola. 1t was a
principle with Mr.. Hoover from
the beginning to make himself
as. useful as possible.to his en-
ployers. His faithfulness was
recognized and he was promoted
from one step to another, until
now, he has just received an ap-
pointment as representative in
spector, and will put in his time
travelling from one manufactur-
ing plant to another to see that
they are filling their orders for
his Company according to speci-
fication. Beginning with next
Monday, he will spend two
in a plant at Attica, N.
Y, after which he will be sent
to Eau Claire. Wis.

Just 0ae Brood Sow.

Robert W. Mellott, of Ayr town.
ship is interesting for the infor-
nation it contains both to farm
ers and to those who consume
pork. The pigs produced by this

1911, 8 pigs; lost l.
April 2, 1912, 8 pigs;
Sept. a, 1912, 10 pigs;
Feb. 26, 1918, 13 pigs;

Dec. II, 1915, 10 pigs; lost2
May 81, 1916, pigs;
Nov, Is, 1916, a pigs.
Thus, it will be seen that in
five years, that brooder gave Mr..
Mellott 120 pigs, 9 of which were
lost, leaving a net gain of Ill
pigs. Pigs now at 8 weeks,
bring $3.50 apiece. This is an
age that they may be marketed
when feed may not be a matter of
special consideration. One hun
dred eleven pigs at $4.5 each
are worth just fifty cents less
than $500.00. This means, that
the sow made a return of one
hundred dollars a year for her
feed and care; for, at the end of
this period, Mr.. Mellott still had
the sow, and when he butchered
her on the goth of last month,
she dressed a little over 400 lbs.

NUMBER 20
DIGESTION AND HEALTH.
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene by
Samuel G. Dixon, N. D., IL. D.,
X Commissioner Of Health.

Upon the health of every man,
woman and child depends our
national defense. Let US, there
fore, stop to realize the necessity
of laying the foundation for the
temple of peace.
This structure must be made
up of individual units strong and
resistful to invasion. This
strength depends largely upon
the assimilation of proper food
stuffs.
Last weeks letter was a warm
ing to our fellow citizens against
the over-eatipg of potatoes-anN
indigenous tuber of America
sometimes called the Irish po-
tato." Today attention is called
to the fact that starchy foods are
more quickly and thoroughly d.
gested in the secretions of the
glands of the mouth than in any
other part of the digestive sys-
tenn. The digestion of starch al
ways begins with the saliva.
The proper mastication of starchy
foods depends upon their being
held in the mouth long enough
to permeate them thoroughly
with ptyalin. If the starch is
swallowed without being satur-
ated in the mouth it passes on
through the stomach proper into
what might be called the second
stomach, where its digestion is
again taken up, but there is no
substance like the secretions of
the mouth.
The expert chemists are con-
stantly testing the commercial
substances sold as digestive
agents, yet never heard of any
of them that would compare in
digestive strength with the sa-
liva of the mouth.
The important lesson to main-
tain health in youth and old age
is the proper digestion of the
starchy foods by mixing them up
with the saliva in the mouth and
not swallowing them down until
that takes place. This will pro-
duce the chemical condition nec-
essary for it to be taken up and
circulated through the body and
give strength to it along with
that given by meats, beans and
fats.
The following represent some
of the starches to be we'll masti-
Gated and mixed with the saliva
before swallowing: Potatoes,
corn, rye, hominy, rice, white
bread, toast, macaroni, bananas,
crackers, all cereal breakfast
foods, tapioca, arrow root, sago,
buckwheat, barley and parsnips.

hold word. Every concertgoer is familiar with it's high standing, and not few of them have heard it in New York and Chicago.
 This excellent organization under the magnetic leadership of Modest Altschuler plays all the old classics with sympathy and scholarly dynamics and when it comes to Russian music, now so much in vogue, it is, or might be assumed in class to itself. Not even, the Boston Symphony or any of the other noted or chestras of America or Europe can equal it in the interpretation of Tsehaikowsky's works Tschaikowskys symphony, "Pathetique, will be one of the large numbers on the Birmingham programme.
 No music festival ever heid in this country has assembled so large number Of celebrities as this biennial will bring to Birmingham Artists of national fame will be here in profession and several of international distinction-Powell, Shat tuck Lada, the artist dancer; and Aida, the operatic star, among them.
 Only yesterday the programme commit tee received an acceptance from Arthur Harwell to an invitation to come and di1 ect the community singing in Capitol park on Sunday afternoon April To. There was great enthusiasm in biennial circles here over MT. Harwelrs letter He is young musician, but he made a splendid hit in New York last summer with his community chorus and his open air symphony concerts. He is practically the pioneer in community singing drec- tion. He wrote the music to the popular patriotic song, all the rage in New York now, March! March," That song will be sung here under his baton.
 There will be q rehearsal of the com munity chorus at Cable hall next Monday night at 8 o'clock under the direction of Robert Lawrence, who will train the sing CTS. MT. Harwell will arrive in time to have one or two rehearsals with the cho- rus and Memoli's concert band, which will accompany the chorus music.
 The biennial committee not only invites but urges every one who has had any experience in chorus or church choir work to be present at Cable hall. It is hoped to have a chorus of 400 or 500 voices. MT. Harwell is known to be an inspiration in himself, and it is believed that every member of the chorus will derive rare pleasure in singing to his beat. The concert in the park will begin at p. m.

Trades Council last Sunday with ref erence to military service in time of war.
 I cannot believe that the spirit that prompted such 8 resolution is shared by the majority of union men in our city but am satisfied that it was a spirit that has been fostered by a small band of labor agitators who live by their wits and sharp practices and exploit labor organizations under the guise of leaders.
 Members of the Birmingham Trades Council are among the highest paid mechanics in the United States. Their working and living conditions are good and l am sure the average man is well satisfied.
 The unfortunate part is that the right thinking, home loving, patriotic mem bers of the council should allow their politics to be shaped by such a dan gerous set of men.
 However, unless the different labor organizations take prompt action and repudiate the sentiments expressed in the resolutions they must stand in- ulCteu py PubAlC OplHlOu as SudTiHS them.
 The basis of their argument that the great part of the wealth of our country is owned by a few, is not the spirit that fosters happy homes, and con- tented, patriotic citizens.
 It is an insult to our great American institution, the home and family, to suggest that man. just because he has money should fight first to maintain the honor and freedom of our homes and country.
 It Is the same spirit that has prompt ed this small band of men to ignore the public in the settlement of labor disputes in our city, and insist on terms of settlement that were not the will of the majority of the working men. A great many union men are afraid to express their ideas on account of these overbearing leaders.
 The day must come when organized labor, if they wish to maintain the re- spect of the public will arise and assert themselves and repudiate such leaders, and affirm their devotion to their
