Think Of It, Merchant We get our authority,, from a reliable exchange that the sales of Sears Roebuck company have now reached the million dollar a day mark. This is simply stup endous for.it means at the low margin of ten percent a profit of one hundred thousand dollars every twentyfour hours. Their goods are no better than those of the country merchant, their prices are not much if any lower, taking into consideration the cost of transportation and order ing. How did they get this vast trade? It was simply the liberal use of printer's ink. They saw the value of advertising and they put it to use with great success. In other words they invited the public to trade with them and the public accepted the invitation. The way is open to the country merchant if he chooses to use it. There are Others. t As may be noticed elsewhere in this paper, Local Newsdealer Shimer announces that beginning with next Monday, the price of all daily papers will be two cents a copy to regular subscribers.

Among other papers that have recently advanced their subscription price is the Semi Weekly News, Huntingdon, and Times-Star, Newville. The price of plain newspaper is now 7 cents a pound and freight used to be two. SALUVIA SUMMARIZINGS. The 1910-17 winter here among the mountains is quite freakish. On Sunday last snow and bleet fell until it bad attained a depth of about six itches, auguring tine and continued sledding and sleighing, and affording tine pro tection to the grain and grass But, in the afternoon rain set in and continued fulling througout the greater part of the night, thus causing the melting of the snow and the rise in the streams on Monday were all overflowing their banks. The sledding and sleighing was badly spoild, and many of the hillsides were baro. Monday night blew up cold with the result that the roads in many places were very icy. Tuesday was clear aud milder, the mer cury at noon was up to 48; then it dropped gradually until 8 o'clock Tuesday morning it had reached 8 (above), when it turned upward again. MissTbelma Metzter, teacher of Uarrisonville s.hool, was taken by me isles on the 12tb inst, since which time her school has been closed. She is now pretty 6afely over them aud in a fair way to recovery. Since writing the above, we have learned that Miss Metzler placed a substitute in her school Monday morning.

The observation of tuberculos is week throughout Pennsylva niv brought vt,e following state ment from Commissioner of II allh, SjiiiuuI G. Dixou, wb has under his personal care more sufferers from this disease than any other individual in the world Doctor Dixou said: "Pennsylvania wi hes to call attention to what the State stands ready to do for her citizjuswbc are stricken with thin disease The Department of health main tains one hundred and fifteen dispensaries; ot.e or more in every county in Pennsylvania whicn are at the command of every citizen who fears that he may be suffering from tubeicu lo18. "These dispensaries are opei at convenient hours and anyone who through persistent loss ol weight, a prolonged heavy cold, slight daily rise in temperature, feels uncertain as to his condi tion should apply to the dispen sary for examination. "The law states that these dis pensaries should be established for the indigent sufferers from tuberculosis. As 1 consider IU phrase an indigent person is rot a pauper. 11) may be workirg steadily, may be sober and eco nomical but never have a dollar more than is required to nupporl his faurly. If his wife or one of his children develops tubercu losis, lie is therefore thiaiiciillv unable to give them the care re quired, consequently we help him. "There are many small farm ers, stru;lin hwors, p! oathors school teacheis, clerks aud phy sicians who are iu the indigent class as we interpret the word, then the members of their famil ies are entitled to receive the henehU of the treatment tho State offers and do receive it. "ilirougb tbu dispensaries ad mission is obtained to tho (i cat Sauatoru at M 'unt Alto, Cicsson and Hamburg where patients aro giVt-u the most advai-ced treat ment for tuboiculosis ui der highly favorable conditions, ab solutely without cost. "We should all remember that iu no disease is it more impor tant to begin treatment early than in tuberculosis If you are in any doubt do not wait, seek medical advice at once. It may save your life and prevent the in fection of those mar and dear." Feeding Cows for Profit Studies in the cost of produc ing milk have shown that feed cost is roughly fifty per cent, of the cost of production. The first essential, then, in feeding cows for profit is to keep down the feed cost per quart of milk as low as possible. Ttoe following rules are sug gested by F. S. Putney, of the Pennsylvania State College school of agriculture and experiment station as useful in feeding: (1) Feed the grain mixture in pro portion to the milk yield. The general rule is to feed one pound of grain per day for each three or four pounds of milk produced according to the quality of the milk. (2) Feed all the roughage that the cow will eat up clean. Some of the roughage should be succulent in character. (3 When ever the cow shows signs of be coming fat, reduce the amount of roughage or grain or even some of both. The one to be re duced should be i determined by relative cost. Why Worrv? When you are tempted to worry because your bank account is weak after the holiday strain or because you can't afford to buy an automobile this year or because you can't add another forty to the farm you'll have to leave some day, perhaps to dis tant relatives, take cheer and comfort to yourself in these words of wisdom from Uncle Sam's Public Health Service: So far as is known, no bird ever tried to build more nests than its neighbor. No fox ever fretted hecnuse he had only one hole in which to hide. No squir rel ever died of anxiety lest he should not lay by enough nuts for two winters instead of one, and no dog ever lost any Bleep because he did not have enough bones laid aside for his declining years. All of which is pleasing fancy though not particularly good economics. Domestic Science and Living Costs. This series of editorials will not deal such with household methods. The newspaper wo men's pages and women's maga zines have produced illimitable volumes on that subject already. The women are bewildered with multifarious and conflicting ad vice. A great many of such sugges tions are written by women who could not go into their own kitch ens and cook an egg. Or they may be done by black browed men smoking corn cob pipes in some newspaper office. In these editorials it is proposed merely to discuss the new point of view which many women appear to be getting, which is encouraged and promoted by the teaching of do mestic science and the widening influence of many schools of these arts. To the typical women of the older generation, housework was drudgery. It was hard, back breaking work, with many tire some and footsore steps. There was distasteful contact with dirt disorder and refuse. The women living on small incomes did it with superb fidelity, and a cer tain hopeless persistence. Fre quently they never taught their daughters the first principle of it. They had higher hopes for their girls, and looked forward when their daughters would be freed from the dominion of pots and pans by getting a job in some shop or office. Women of larger means felt the distaste for household tasks even more keenly. It was not so much that they felt any social social degradation in performing them. They merely regarded them as uninteresting, having nothing worth the attention of an intelligent person. Asking them to bake bread tend the coal fire was much like asking their husbands to go out and dig a ditch. So these women held themsel ves aloof from household tasks, not from any unworthy false, pride, but from their aspiration, most commendable under wise leadership, for larger and bigger interests outside their homes. So they turned over their housework to ignorant alien maids, who wasted and scattered while the mistress read Browning and Ten nyson and wrote papers on Rem brandt's art SIDELI.NQ HILL Mr. Frank Hill, of Warfords burg, R V. D , is quite ill with pneumonia. Miss Erma Gress, teacher of Primary school at Warfordsburg, spent Saturday afternoon and Sunday with her sister Miss Ver gie Gress.

Mr. Edward Sigel ol Buck Val ley was a visitor at the home of Oliver Divelbus Wednesday of last week. On to His Job A Kansas editor is. about as hard to get ahead of as a Kansas cyclone. O. W. Weaver, of the Sedgwick Pantagraph, recently raised the price of his paper from $1 to $1 50 a year and in replying to some complaint heard about 1 the change says: "You may be of the opinion that the paper isn't worth $1 50. Neither is a gallon of gasoline worth 27 cents, nor 10 pounds of sugar worth $1 nor a pound of veal worth 30 cents, nor a bushel of corn worth 80 cents but these are prices peo ple are paying. Potatoes are re tailed at $2 per bushel and 'sow bosom' at 23 cents a pound. So don't get mad at us. Goodness knows we didn't start the fuss in Europe." Sensitive Throats need careful treatment from within more than ihey need bundling wraps during changing seasons.

Opposite Post Office, Chambersburg, Pa. Admiral Dewey's House. One of the most curious inci dents of Admiral Dewey's career related to the gift of the house made to him by the American people. When the present was made, no one for years had been such a popular idol. In a mo ment he lost his popularity sim ply by giving his dwelling to his wife. No doubt his act showed a cer tain defect in taste. But even at its worst it was but a trifle in comparison with the matchless service rendered by the man who large and 1 1 zz:z broke the Spanish power. Ypt for a mere incident like this, our people rose in -their wrath and were ready for the time being to cut him off our list of heroe9. It goes to show what a tran sient possession popularity is. A man may render the most inesti mable services. Yet if in a thoughtless moment he somehow fails to conform to the popular code of manners, olf with his head. The American democracy takes itself very seriously, and it demands due deference even from its heroes.
