MEN AND SHOES.
How much a man is like his shoes!
For instance, both a soul to lose;
Both have been tanned, both are
tight
By cobblers, both get left and right.
Both need a mate to be complete,
And both are made to go on feet.
They both need healing; oft are sold,
And both in time turn all to mold.
‘With shoes the last is first; with men
The first shall be the last, and when
The shoes wear out they're mended new,
And when men wear out they are men
dead, too.
They are both trod upon, and both
‘Will tread on others, nothing loath.
Both have their ties, and both incline,
‘When polished, in the world to shine.
And both peg out—now would you choose
To be a man, or be his shoes?

Potatoes at 12 Cents Per Bushel.
A spot in Pennsylvania where old
potatoes are really cheap with no
market for the tubers, has been locat-
ed. It is a little place on the map
called Good Spring, about fifteen
miles from Lykens, and the price is
twelve cents a bushel.
A local Pennsylvania railroad offi-
cial, who was at Good Spring on bus-
iness, discovered there a farmer who
has 8,000 bushels of potatoes on hand
that he is willing to sell for twelve
cents a bushel on the ground, but he
can’t find anyone to take them off his
hands even at that figure. A year ago
he got $3.50 a bushel! for his crop.—

NON-PARTISAN.
There was a vacancy on the bench,
in one of the counties of this State re-
cently, and the newspapers speculated
as to the man who would be appoint-
ed to fill this vacancy. One article on
the subject contains the following
statement: “Regardless of who gets
the appointment, and it is recognized
that this will be determined by the
Republican leaders of the county, a
half dozen lawyers have been men-
tioned as probable candidates for the
election.
“The election will be on the non-
partisan ticket, but politics will figure,
of course.”
The man who is said to head the list
of probable candidates fer election
next fall is described as “A powerful
organization man.” Nothing is said
as to his legal ability or attainments,
Of another probable candidate, it is
said, “It is not thought that he would
receive organization support.”
It seems to be taken for granted
that the Organization will be a con-
trolling factor, both in the appoint-
ment of a judge by the Governor, and
in the election of a judge, next fall,
presumably by the voters.
When a candidate was to be nomi-
nated for the Supreme bench, one man
was mentioned, from the beginning of
the campaign, as the choice of the
State Organization. In some counties,
at least, the county Organization sent
out sample ballots, before the primary
election, marked in favor of this can-
didate.
There are certain questions which
suggest themselves to the minds of
new voters:
. Why should the leaders of a polit-
ical party determine who should be
appointed, by the Governor, to a ju-
dicial position?
Why should a party organization
dictate to the voters in the matter of
the nomination or the election of a
judge?
Who delegated to the Organization
the power which it seems to exercise,
and why was it delegated ?
How did those who constitute the
Organization secure the position?
What is the numerical proportion of
the Organization to the electorate?
Why should serviceability to the
Organization, rather than legal abili-
ty, qualify a man to be a judge?
Does the appointment or the elec-
tion of a judge, by the leaders of a
political party tend to promote the im-
partial administration of justice?
Is a judge, appointed or elected by
grace of a party organization, under
any obligations which might tend to
bias judicial decisions?
. What is the meaning of “Non-par-
tisan,” on the ballot?
. Does it mean simply a party organ-
ization candidate under another
name? '
What did the law intend: it to mean?
Women were laboriously instructed,
before the last election, as to the
proper manner of marking a ballot,
which, after all, does not seem to be a
very mysterious or complicated per-
formance. But concerning some
points of the election laws they have
not been informed, the “Non-partisan”
part, for example.
A great deal has been said and writ-
ten, recently, on the “Education of
women for citizenship,” and kindred
topics. College presidents, as well as
those familiar with political matters,
have discussed these subjects. Per-
haps when women are more educated
along political lines, questions like the
them.

Lay Blame on Stray Dogs.
Fourteen known cases of “winter”
ports received at the State Depart-
ment of Agriculture from the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania, where the heads
of 18 dogs, suspected of having had
the disease, were examined. Four
heads gave negative tests.
In the last few weeks a number of
reports have been received at the de-
partment from various sections of the
State, where rabies were believed to
have made their appearance. Where
it was possible the dogs were killed
and the heads sent to the laboratories
for examination and tests. Most of
the cases which proved to be rabies
were in sections within 50 or 60 miles
of Philadelphia. The disease, it is be-
lieved by department experts, has
been spread by stray dogs. :

MRS. TURNER STUDYING BABY
HYGIENE.
She Asks the Physician.
“My dear Mrs. Turner” said the family
physician, “I can only repeat what I have
its foods, but, equally important, that the
waste products are properly eliminated.
Infant—or Child—hygiene plays an im-
mense part at this day. The proper feed-
ing of children is today an exact science
and it has brought with it the knowledge
of how to keep the child's alimentary tract
in the proper condition.
ed how many physicians now specialize in
children’s diseases? Those men have at
their command all the treatises on the
maladies of infancy and childhood. Nat-
urally they have the advantage over the
general practitioner.
the specialist has more success in treating
the children than has the physician who
brought them into the world; who day in
and day out sees them, watches them and
notices all their individual peculiarities?
The specialist comes in as an outsider and
has to learn of these things. The family
physician knows them.”
“One of the best known physicians in
this country puts the matter of sanitation
of the alimentary canal into a terse sen-
tence—‘Clean out, clean up, and keep clean.’
Surely what is true about the grown-ups
is still more so in regard to children. The
grown-ups can think for themselves. But
the baby? Ah! you get the point? Food
unfit for another, the ice cream cone, the
tempting watermelon, the ever to be de-
sired -green apple, these and many more
cause the woe, which may be soothed by
remedies that cannot be given to the in-
fant or small child, such as Castor Oil, a
most nauseating old fashioned remedy.
Now, to tell you the truth, I very rarely
give Castor Oil.
my own family as well as in outside prac-
tice, I give Fletcher's Castoria and I know
of scores of other physicians doing like-
wise. " You ask why? Well I have
nearly thirty years’ experience with it,
that is why. Experience teaches. You,
Mrs. Turner, are still young and have only
your first baby to worry over and beacuse
his little stomach is out of kilter you are
scared. Now, just do as I tell you. Give
him Fletcher's Castoria as directed
you will find that your boy will be
comfy.”
“But, Doctor,” broke in Mrs. Turner,
‘are you sure there’s nothing injurious in
Fletcher's Castoria ?”
Turner right on the wrapper of every bottle
vou will find the formula. And since you
are of such an inquiring turn of mind. if
you will some day come over to my office
I will read to you what the text-books say
about those ingredients and explain it to
you in everyday lingo.”
The doctor's candid talk convinced Mrs.
Turner that Fletcher's Castoria was the
remedy for her to keep in the house and
any other mother who takes the trouble to
ask her physician will receive the same
advice.
