14 WOMEN'S INTERESTS BEING ON THE LEVEL "Does it pay to be good?" walls | Mabel. "I'm honest with people and I always do what seems the right thing. I'm dignified and loyal. And all I get for my pains is the proud privilege of poking around at home when girls who haven't half as high standards as 1 I have are being taken out and given a good time and are being advanced right over my head." To a practical question like "Does 1 it pay to be good?" there is only one answer. "No—if you are looking for definite returns on your investment. ' Yes—if you have any ideals you wish to cherish and any inherent sense of what you owe yourself." Of course, every once in a while j some woman who has broken all the rules of society and morality marries j a millionaire and is exploited as a ten days' wonder. And then dozens of women find their convictions of moral- , Ity tottering at their foundations. | Now. if they thought about it sen- | sibly they would reflect that marrj ing 1 a millionaire carries with it no guar antee of peace of mind or happiness or even of wealth and assured position for all time to come. The mills of the gods in tl ir grind ing are pretty likely to bruise out the chaff from the wheat—and the unde serving woman who seems to have i managed her life efficiently according to her own likes may not have achiev- I ed her ends any more than temporarily. Froru the practical point of view, no- ! body's success or failure can be judged till the end of the story—remember i that. The WrotiK Point of View But that is not the point of viewt 17-YEAR LOCUSTS SCHEDULED TO COME NEXT SUMMER C. H. Hadley, Jr., in charge of entomology extension at the Penn-, svlvania State College, calls attention to the fact that brood eight of the "Seventeen-year Locust," appeared in Pennsylvania in 1900, and is due to appear again in 1917. This is one of the largest insect broods to occur In this State. While locusts are usually of importance mainly because of the popular interest aroused, it is quite possible that considerable damage may he caused in those places where the insects appear in unusual abundance.

The thing that matters is that a girl who has the instincts of fineness in her nature simply can not root them up without tearing the most vital* thing out of her life. | A hard, cold, unprincipled man or j woman may break and defy the laws |of society and perhaps "get away with it"—temporarily. I But one has to pay for one's per i ceptions. Any human being who has ' within him or herself a feeling that ' certain things are fine and certain ignoble must either live up to his own ! vision of right or suffer tortures. You can compromise with anything jin this world but your own nature, j That admits of no half measures. To do things of which you are go ing to be ashamed, things which you i know will bring sorrow to those you | love, things for which the real penalty lies in your own miserable sense of I not having lived up to the best in your ( self is to twist and warp your life out lof all semblance of beauty, j In the final analysis, there is no j happiness where there is no peace of mind. You can't disapprove of your self and be contented. ! There lies the real answer to the 'question, "Does it pay to be good?" To the man or woman who has a standard of what s good, the price he must pay for deviation from that j standard is extortionate. | You simply dare not do evil if you j know good; for however the world | judges you, you will have to go about i with the acid of your own judgment ; of yourself eating into and corroding j everything in your nature. I It simply doesn't pay to be any thing but good. swarms of the 1917 brood are due to occur, according to past records are as follows: Armstrong, Beaver. But \ ler. Cambria, Clarion, Indiana, Law rence, Mercer, Venango, and Wash ington. Smaller, more or less scatter ing swarms may be expected in Alle gheny, Crawford, Fayette, Forest, Huntingdon, Jefferson. Snyder, and Westmoreland counties. This brood also occurs in Ohio, Maryland. Massachusetts. New Jer sey and West Virginia although much less widely distributed within those States than in Pennsylvania. The State College authorities will call attention to the insect more specifically in future bulletins or I press notices.

Vntil the Public Appreciates the Magnitude ami the Seriousness ol Such Performances Diseased Animals, I.ost en Route to the Human Stoiuaeh Will Never Be Found. immediately following the govern ment seizure of a batch of thirty three diseased cows intended for slaughter, another group of fourteen milkers, which would also have gone to Brooklyn, were taken from the pens by the Bureau of Animal Indus try officials stationed at Jersey City. These "bolognas" were sent to Swift & Co., at Kearny. N. J., for slaughter. 1 was invited by Swift & Co., to wit ness tl.eir post-mortems, which were conducted by Dr. A. W. Combs and Dr. C. \V. Humphrey in the presence of Dr. Alfred S. Martins of the Bureau of Animal Industry at Newark, N. J., and Dr. J. C. Kingsland, a federal veterinarian. Seven of the fourteen animals were found to be so diseased that Dr. Martins marvelled over the tact that they had not died before they could be shipped from the dairy farm to the slaughterhouse. "It is a tragedy," he said, "that such cows should be permitted to produce milk for human consumption. Animals like these are being killed every day in the uninspected estab lishments of Newark. I am power less to interfere with this practice. In fact, 1 do not even possess the right to enter the establishments in which they are killed. The State ex ercises no control over their slaugh ter. and the people drink tl.eir milk and eat their f.esh without suspicion." 1 remained in the Jersey City stock yards. Within a week a hun dred cows had been seized. The cattle buyers who suffered the losses due to these seizures then began tele graphing country shippers, who made a business of gathering up "bologna" cows for the Brooklyn market, not to ship to Jersey City. A new route was arranged whereby the animals would not pass through interstate commerce at all. Instead of shipping over the Erie and West Shore to Jersey City from Rockland county. Orange county, Sullivan county, Ulster county and thirty other New York counties that supply New York City with tubercu lar animals, the diseased beasts were transferred upstate on the other side of the New Jersey line and were floated across the Hudson from New burgh to Fishkill, thus avoiding in terstate traffic. The cows were then sent to the West Sixtieth Street yards. New York City, from which point they contin ued their journey to the Johnson ave nue establishments in Brooklyn. "The worst feature of this rotten business." admitted Dr. Robert M. Mullings of the federal service, "lies HERE'S COMFORT | IN NIGHTDRAWERS Old Jack Frost Cannot Get In side of These Warm Sleep ing Garments By MA Y~M ANTON Q245 (With Basting Line and Added Seam Allowance) Child's Night j Drawers, 2 to 8 years.

Handcuffs His Bride at Altar Portland, Ore., Dec. 22.—A wedding ; ring is all right in a way, but it re | mained for Leo F. Jones to re-enforce ; the bonds of matrimony in a prac tical manner which left no doubts in , the mind of his wedding party that , he had taken Miss Esther Iouise Bye ! to have and to hold. When the preach er said the final words, Jones slipped a pair of handcuffs from his pocket, snapped one of the hands to the: bride's wrist, and the other to his' own. Jones and his wife are honey -1 mooning now without the handcufTs. ; Jones explained be had been warned ; that a number of his bachelor friends j planned to kidnap him after the cere- i I mony. lin the fact that even though the 1 Brooklyn establishments should be closed up there ure so many hun dreds of places scattered all over New York State and other States where old and diseased cows can be slaughtered without interference by the local authorities that they will set into the food supply just the same. "The only thing that can be done ! under present conditions is to stop : the procession of diseased meat to Brooklyn and scatter it all over the ! State, thus taking such food out of | the mouths of one set of people and handing it to another set. "All nearby States ship to each j other's cities and towns rejected dairy I cows. Although tuberculosis is wide spread among these cows no cow ever ■ dies of the disease. The farmer does ! not let her go that far. When he realizes that she is going bad on his hands he sends her to the butcher and the disease never gets a chance to finish its job. "Some ot the cows which we have seen killed lately could not havo lived sixty days. But the butcher got them in time to recover a little more sal vage from'the beasts than the farmer could get out of them if he fed them to his hogs after they had died on his farm." The facts, together with the state ments of Dr. Mailings, made Nov. 10, 1914, were published. They excited little comment. Nov. 24, forty-nine old bandboxes (dying cows) were paddled across the Hudson from Newburgh to Fish kill I,anding and shipped to the West Sixtieth street yards. When they arrived in New York ; City I notified the federal authorities and undertook to trace the animals to thetr last resting place. The fed eral authorities informed me that the cows had not passed through inter state commerce and it was purely a State matter in which the United States government had no concern. Again 1 appealed to Dr. Goldwater : and again an investigation was in stituted, the results of which onlv I further emphasled the pitiable farce of New York State's efforts to control the sale of tubercular animals for food purposes. Tho conditions in New York in this respect are exactly like those in all other States. The Health Depart ment's investigation of the disposi tion of these forty-nine tubercular; i cows resulted in the discovery that j j the animals had Ween divided into I two lots, twenty-one going to one j slaughterer and twenty-eight to an-' i other, after which all trace of tlieni : was lost, as usual. Where inefficient inspection is con ducted this is what happens. Where : no Inspection at all is conducted, as : is the. case In nearly every city and I ; town in the United States, the sltua- ! tlon Is even worse.
