The report published by one of the largest insurance companies, as a part of its public health educa- tional! service, gives the following figures: AT ONE YEAR | Weight—Boys, 21.5 pounds; girls, | pounds. Height—Boys, 29,5 inches; girls, | 29 inches. Teeth—Should have cut six. Muscles—Growing rapidly. Speech—A few words. 20 | prospe POLITICAL PATRONAGE our political system is organ- at this time, it is just possible the patronage appended to elec- tive officers has now become danger- the welfare of the nation, as localities within them. 1 i { To these ladies and gentlemen on! the payroll the delinquent taxes filed in every county in the Common- wealth should tell a convincing story | to the evils in the system of tax-| ation and expenditures of the tax- payers money that should lead that payroll to join with the taxpayer in his efforts to bring the cost of gov- ernment within the ability of people to pay. Neither a government nor a man | can live beyond its income for any the | length of time without meeting with | financial disaster. The whole country, practically, has been living beyond its income during the last twelve years. It has really been living beyond its in- | YZ. “O" is not used as a letter but come for a longer period than that, | as the living cost during the war] was =uppiled by borrowed money from the moment we World War. In this situation the problem now seems to be, is the payroll strong enough to prevent the cost of gov- ernment, local, from returning to that pre-war bas- is, when real, solvent, peace-time rity blessed the land? It is entirely probable that the average citizen gives little thought to the power of the payroll in this country at each and every election. No one knows exactly the number of employees on the public payrolls, local, state and national, but we have seen it estimated at three mil- | lions. AT TWO YEARS Weight—Boys, 28.4 pounds; girls, | 27.8 pounds. Height—Boys, 33,1 inches; 32.7 inches. Teeth—Should have 16 cut. | Muscles—Growing rapidly. I Speech—Vocabulary ~f 100 to 500 | words; two-word sentences. AT THREE YEARS { Weight—Boys, 33.5 pounds; girls, | 31.5 pounds, | Height—Boys, 36 inches; girls, | 35.6 inches ‘gain of about three | inches over previous year.) Teeth—Completion of the first set of 20 teeth. i Muscles— Growing rapidly! likes to skip and jump. Speech—500 to 1,500 new words; | ‘begins to use pronouns. | AT FOUR YEARS i Weight—Boys, 36.4 pounds; girls, | 35.1 pounds. Height—Boys, 38.6 inches; girls, | 38.4 inches. Teeth—Full set of 20 milk teeth. Muscles—Growing rapidly with in- | .creasing co-ordination. Speech—500 new words and makes | complete sentences. AT FIVE YEARS Weight—Boys, 41.4 pounds; girls, girls, girls, 40,2 pounds. Height Boys, 41.7 inches; 41.3 inches. Teeth—Twenty teeth. Muscles—Same as third year. Speech—The articulation is now | nearly perfect, and an interest in| rhyming is developed. | AT SIX YEARS ! Weight—Boys, 45.1 pounds; girls, | 43.6 pounds. Height—Boys, 44 inches, girls, 43.4 inches. | Teeth—The child should have 24 teeth, four of which are permanent —especially important to preserve sixth-year molars. i Muscles—Rapidly growing; in- creasing correlation. —The articulation is now perfect; the inflection of nouns and | verbs nearly perfect. | Child is interested in nonsense words and likes to draw his ideas, Speech defects are reco, be- | fore six years; 80 per cent of stut-| tering occurs before six years. | Of course, it should be remember- | ed that all children are not normal- | ly the same size, The size and weight of parents should be taken into consideration in every case.

Letters are used singly or doubly on these types of vehicles, and in various combinations of num- erals. When five digits are used they may either be five numerals or a combination of letters and numerals, The letters used on pleasure car tags are ABCDEFGHJKLMNPRSUV as “Zero” or “Naught.” The letter “X" is used only to designate motor | vehicle dealers. In the case of passenger car tags, Pennsylvania can izsue iags rar in excess of the number that ever will be registered. By juggling letters and numerals millions of tags can be issued and in no case will the tags designation exceed five digits.

When all that force is mobilized and put into action, the unorganiz- ed taxpayers are at a distinct disad- tion, as, in following the leaders, vote for a continuance of the hi salaries that are slowly sapping the foundations of this government and bankrupting the taxpayers. It is that united action on the Each of the 20 letters is used alone such as “A". It continues to appear as the first digit until “A999” | is reached. The same applies to the other letters used. After that letters are used as the second digit, such as “9A09", as the third digit such as’ “99B9," as the fourth digit, such as P “99C9,” or as the fifth digit, such as “9999D."” The use of the double letter, such as “AA” is carried through to “AA-| or whatever letter is being used, The double letter is also used in various combinations with numer- | als.

The cover of the booklet is present- ed in the colors cf the camp, car- ' dinal and green, and shows the pic- | ture of an Indian, and represents a roll for the election of Presidents, Governors, and all other officials. Sometimes we hear protests against assessing the payrolls. These protests are based on the injustice of assessing one man for the pur- pose of electing another man to of- fice, The fact is that it is not the pay- roll at all that is assessed. It is the taxpayer that is assessed by those, who asses the payroll. The high salaries are paid to all officials in order to enable them to contribute to the campaigns of the political employees on the payroll, and thus the taxpayer pays the bills! of the politicians. The problem that now confronts the American people is the question, “Is the payroll stronger than the Is it impossible for the people compel the payroll to return peace-time salaries, ment to return to It certainly begins to way.

Occasion- ally there is an inquiry for a dairy farm. Many of the transfers involv- ed changes for city real estate. City unemployed, most with pre- vious farm experience, or people of foreign extraction with slack work | in the mines, constitute the bulk of the inquiries, but farmers are said to be usually the purchasers of the larger acreages. The only credit available, judging from reports, is that which the seller is willing to extend, and the terms are usually arranged to suit the purchaser. In some localities, mortgages at 5 per cent have been offered, | The March 1 reports from both farm land owners and realtors to the Federal State Crop Reporting | Service, indicate that farm real es-| tate in Pennsylvania suffered an average decline of 5 per cent in value during the past year. The price level at the present time is estimated to be 4 per cent below that prevailing during 1912-1914.| Low prices for farm products, high taxes and scarcity of credit are, | blamed for the situation.

The non-garbage feeder barring cholera, is relatively free from dis- ease but the garbage feeder is con- stantly exposed and should protect ted his swine at all times by the use of | ied life. But it remains a saluta- tion in which a greater or less de- degree of equality is claimed or con- ceded. simultaneous vaccination, Other | mixed infections and parasites are diseases such as necrotic enteritis, | also prevalent in uncooked garbage. | Likewise, coccidiosis is appearing | more frequently than heretofore, Pigs are especially susceptible. This | disease is easily introduced into swine herds fed on garbage because the te requires an acid medium | for development. i As evidence of the great risk in| volved in feeding uncooked garbage, the disease specialists point out to| he recent outbreak of foot-and-| mouth disease in a garbage-fed swine herd in California. Further- more, a previous outbreak of foot- and-mouth disease in California was traced to infected garbage which | had been received from a foreign ship in port, and removed to a gar- | bage feeding farm, | Swine raisers of Pennsylvania have been fortunate in escaping the rav- ages of the dreaded foot-and-mouth disease during recent but they are reminded that livestock | in this Commonwealth is continual- ly exposed to the possibly entry of the disease from other countries just as much as California, and possibly more so because of the many har- bors along the East coast where ves- sels from countries where foot-and mouth disease is prevalent, dock. —Many people think Irish pota- toes originated in Ireland, because of their name.
