Everybody Satisfied.
"A sweeping victory for the miners!"
exclaims one commentator upon the
report of the President's commission
on the Anthracite Coal Strike. "A
boomb in labor circles!" declares an
other with equal assurance. Both are
wrong. The report gives victory to
one of the parties to the controversy.
But it is not the miners, nor is it the
operators. It is rather the third party
whose interests are paramount, though
too often overlooked by both the
others and their hot champions—the
public. So far as the two parties first
named are concerned, each has partly
won and partly lost, as was to be ex
pected. The public, whose demands
were simply that justice to all should
prevail, seems to have won on every
point.—N. Y. Tribune.
The Sweeping Skirt.
From an article in American Medi
cine entitled "Problems of Preventa
tive Medicine" we c6py the following:
"Women of the upper classes, who
set the fashion for all other women,
should also do much for the cause of
preventative medicine by making cer
tain changes in their manner of dress
ing, particularly in regard to the
length of the skirt worn out of doors.
To see a well dressed and attractive
woman trailing a long skirt over a
muddy side walk and sweeping up the
filthy droppings of animals and the
still more filthy human expec.
toration which always lies there, is
certainly a disgusting Bight, and when
that same woman goes home and
shakes and brushes her skirt, the my
riads of micro-organisms which she
has collected daring the afternoon's
shopping are freely scattered about the
house to be later perhaps inhaled by
herself, her husband and her children.
It can hardly be doubted that the
germs of disease are thus frequently
introduced into the home, and this
danger would be lessened if women
would never wear long skirts while
walking out of doors The educated
and thoughtful women of our commu
nities may in various ways be ofim
mense service to the cause of preven
tative medicine, but they must first be
made to realize the importance of the
subject and how by a little intelligent
and concerted action on their part
they can assist in bringing about the
various sanitary reforms which have
been discussed in this essay."
Danger of Colds and Grip.
The greatest danger for colds and grip
is their resulting in pneumonia. If
reasonable care bo used, however, and
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy taken, all
danger will be avoided. Among the tens
of thousands who have used this remedy
for these diseases we have yet to learn of
a single case having resulted in pneu
monia. which shows conclusively that it
is a certain preventive of that dangerous
disease. It will cure a cold oi an attack
of the grip in less time than any other
treatment. It is plcasaut and safe to
take. For sale by L. Taggart.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, APRIL 2, 1903.
A Twenty Billion Dollar Country.
When about a dozen years ago the ap
propriationH by a single Congress for
two years amounsed to a billion of dol
lars there was much criticism by the
minority of such lavishness, and the
reply was that this was a billion dollar
conntry.says the Pbiladelphialnquirer.
Figures just brought to light show
that this estimate was forty times too
small, as the internal commerce of the
country as wholesale prices amounts to
twenty billions a year—a sum impos
sible to grasp, but the enormity of which
is undisputed. Last year the farmers
furnished produce worth at farm prices
five billions, the manufactures turned
out fourteen billion dollars' worth of
material and the miners another billion.
This product amounted to $250 for every
man, women or child in the country,
or about SI,OOO per head for each wage
earner.
It must bo remembered that this is 1
the gross amount and does not repre
sent profit, but the aggregate is large
and astounding. It is true that there
were many who did not come up to
this average and many wh > got a great
deal more, but it needs no figures to
demonstrate to everyone that we are in
the midst of a career of prosperity
never before reached by any nation in
the world and, fortunately, there is
nothing to indicate that it is on the
wane. The new Department of Com
merce will look after this immense busi
ness in a general way, and much good
is predicted from its workings. So
enormous is our trade and so wide
spread our development that it would
be posssibie to put a Chinese wall around
the country and still peremit ue all to
have practically every wish gratified.
The foreign demand, however, is great
and is becoming one of our chief factors
of prosperity, since we are constantly
producing a surplus
Another item of cognate interest
showing national development is fur
nished by the appropriations for the
Postoffloe Department which will spend
next year $153,000,000. Postofflce re
ceipts are always taken as an index of
prosperity. It is business that uses the
mails and the sum mentioned is more
than twice the sum appropriated in
1891. The sum for next year is greater
even than the pension roll, and it is ex
pected that all but ten millions of this
will be paid by the public for the ser
vice and there would be actual surplus
except for tha extension of the free
rural mails. In the year before the
Civil War the total expenses of the
government for all purposes was not
one half what the postofflce will use
next year. These things are important
and impressive.
An Interesting Fact.
A Canistco observer said to the
editor the other day: "lt is amusing
but it is true. Let a wide awake hus
tling merchant, who knows that adver
tising pays, put a list of low prices in
the paper, and his competitors who do
not believe in advertising will tumble
over themselves to post a lot of old box
covers in the widows of their stores on
which are daubed signs offering goods
at the same price. The merchant who
says it don't pay to advertise is not
oniy aback number, but his acts belie
his statements every day he attempts
to do business."—Times*Republican.

Dear Sir: You'd strike it rich if you
could find a way to shave your cus
tomers in less time, for less cost, and
make the shave last twice or three times
as long.
You wouldn't shave the same person
so many times, no get so much of his
money; but the whole town would be
talking about you, and everybody
would come to you for a shave.
Devoe lead and zinc is exactly that
in paints. It takes fewer gallons, and
it wears longer. Costs less for the job,
and you don't have to do it again for
years and years—six years at least.
"Fewer gallons; wears longer."
Takes fewer gallons to paint a house
with Devoe and Zinc than with
mixed paints; and it wears longer than
mixed paints or lead and oil.
Yours truly,
F. W. DEVOE, & Co.,

A Pitch lake.
Trinidad, an island in the south At
lantic opposite the mouth of the Ori
noco, Is famous for Its pitch. There
are districts where there is pitch ev
erywhere. The beach Is pitch, and so
are the "rocks," some of which have
been carried off to supply Paris nnd
New York with tar pavements. At La
Brea pineapples grow to perfection in
a brown soil which is half pitch. But
the wonder of the Isle is the pitch lake
a mile and a half In circumference.
As It lies slitterliiK in the sun It looks
like a vast bed of monstrous mush
rooms. all black and of all kinds of
shape and size, some measuring as
much us tlfty feet across. The space
between these unlovely objects Is lilleil
with oily water. In parts of the lake
the pitch Is quite liquid, and the ground
all round is full of pitch and coaly
stuff to a depth of hundreds of feet.
