You know the long and successful career of
this store. Every year yes, every season, it grows
larger. There must be a good reason for this ex
pansion for this continued favor of the people of
this city. There's only one reason we know of
that's the striving for that perfection which we never
reach. Every department shows our best efforts
this season. Our styles in Boys' Clothes were
never so attractive never embodied such cloth
qualities at the prices marked. Every mother will
admit that there's no economy in buying the common
quality in Boys' Clothes. We've never handled such
clothes and never will. When you consider our styles
and our qualities the price we mark them is considerably lower than you would expect.

GOOD WITNESS FOR
THE OPPOSITION
(Concluded from Page 3.)
tlio Inhalation of fine particles of i'oul
dust, which am fountain in Hants n
tho membranes, Post-mortem exami
nations havu frequently shown to lilm
tho lungs of miners as black as an
thracite, coal. Tho disease, though In
eurahlp, s fatal onl in very slight de
cree, but It has a tendency to kuiwi In
duce fatal diseases,
i
Affects the Herat.
The disease also atfects thu heart
nun Itlou and causes emaciation and
general loss of vitality, Very few mine
worker can escape at least a mild af
fectatton of this complaint. The In
halation of noxious gases also con
tributes to asthma. A man of forty
years affected with chronic asthma Is
ically as old and decrepit as a com
paratively healthy man would be at
seventy,
The sudden changes of temperature
experienced by miners Is conducive to
catarrh. Stomach tioubles among min
ers, the doctor ascribed to their being
compelled to drink water Impregnated
with deleterious nilucisal matter. Itheu-
mutism is supe; Induced by the dump-nes-s
uf the mines, Lumbago results
front the crouched position In which
the miner has to worK,' Tubeiculur
diseases uru common among miners and
are due to lack of nutrition resulting
from othor diseases, All these diseases
are decidedly more prevalent among
miners than among other classes of
the community,
On cross-oxumluatlon by Mr, Toney,
of counsel for the Delaware and Hud
son, Dr. O'Mulley udmltted he had
never made a comparison of paitlculnr
diseases of miners with particular dls
eases of other classes of woiknien. He
also admitted he had not examined the
records of the health bureau here, with
a vlaw of getting statistics. The wit
ness could recall the nuines of only two
miners he treated for asthma during
the past year and a half, although he
was sure there were many more than
thut.
Amount of Air,
Mr. Torrey brought an admission
from the witness that whooping cough
Is u form of asthma and thut whooping
cough patients nre frequently taken
Into the mines as a treatment for tho
disease. A dlmiuultion of the amount
of asthmatic diseases, the doctor ad
mitted, Is resulting from tho be.tter ven
tilation of the mines during tho past
ten or lit teen yeais.
The doctor would not admit that
asthma has a tendency to pi event con
sumption. He hesltnted to deny It.
Mr. Toney hi ought out that the law
requites H'.'.l cubic feet per minute pure
air and the witness admitted this to
be ample, though h qualified his an
swer by saying that many miners, In re
cesses, nwny from the gangways or
air eouises, do not get all the air the
law allows,
Chairman dray looking over the
packed room, with direct ventilation on
one side only, asked: "How many
cubic feet of fielt air Is In this jooin,
Doctor"
Mr. Toney asked If freedom finm
consumption was not peculiar to this
legion. Dr, O'Mulley admitted It was
not as prevalent as It Is In some places.
In answer to questions by Chairman
Gray as to health of Iron mill workers
who aie subjected to sudden and ex
treme changes of temperature, said
they have acquired a tolerance of these
changes and are In ti way immune,
About the Hospitals.
Dr. F. P. J.ennhan, of Wilkes. Ha ire,
was next culled for tho miners' side
and was examined by Attorney John
Shea. I testified that thu hospitals
of Luzcine county expended, last
year $77,090 for maintenance, and of
this amount the coal companies con
u Ibuled only $3,500.
In the last five years the Mercy hos
pital nt Wllkes-Bune, hit said, had re
ceived only $37fi dollurs from coal com
panies. Of this amount $110, all that
was solicited, was given by tho IMrrlsh
Coal company, which has been espec
ially liberal In donations to all the hos
pitals, Tho balance was donated by
the Susquehanna Coal company,
Mercy hospital, last year, had "al pa
tients and the Wllkes-Uarre city hospi
tal 'MO patients, and eighty per cent, of
these were miners and membeis of
in, nets' families.
Fully ninety-eight percent of the mine
workers, the doctor said, weie anaemlo
and ninety per cent, of them who am
fifty years of ago aro atlllcted with
rheutuutlsui. The ductor had heard of
asthmatic miners expectorating coal
dust twenty yeais after he leaves the
mines.
Humming up, the doctor said mining
Was a very unhealthy occupation.
Dr. l.euahuu was cross-examined by
Major Kveiett Warren, of this city, of
counsel for the Idle company. Major
Warren first brought out that the Lu
zerne county hospitals receive large ap
propriations fiom the state and that
the bulk of the state taxes are paid by
the coiporatlons,
The doctor fuither stated In answer
to Major Warren's questions that ho
has treated cases of asthma In men
thirty years of age and sixty-three
years of age; that few miners leave the
mines to go into some other employ
ment; that those who do go Into other
laborious occupations as a rule give
them up and go back to the mines, de
flating they prefer to woik under
ground. Dr. lilchard 11, Gibbous, of Sciuutou,
was called to the stand for the inlueis
a few minutes befor -I o'clock, anil was
being eioss-examlued by Attorney
James l.eiiahau at adjournment. Only
a few prelliulnaiy questions had been
asked the witness when the commis
sion rose.
Kurlhtr testimony fmui physicians
and the re-dlrect examination of Itev,
Dr. llobertH will occur today, It is
ptobable that Dlstilct President T. D.
Nlcltolls will bu culled to the stand be
fore the day Is over.
