Waverly— There was a large out- pouring of Republicans last Saturday night to attend the caucus at which the nominations were made for the coming village election Stone's hall was well filled Everything passed off in a harmonious manner, there being no contest for the higher of- fices.

Harrisburg—On account of the ap- proach of & murder irfal in which the whole county is interested Governor Stuart will be asked to lose no time in filling the vacancy caused by the death of George B. Danlels, District Attorney of Fulton County, which pays only $300 a yea) Blame for the wreck of the Pemn- sylvania flyer near Johnstown has been placed largely on the new steel ties with which the Pennsylvania Rallroad Is experimenting in the Pittsburg section, and the general feeling among raliroad men is that this latest method of joluing the tracks Is soon lo be given up as = bad proposition. Rumor had it that already an order had Deen issued by the man- agement of the rajlroad to have thee old-fashioned wooden ones sub- stituted, but at the offices of “the Pennsylvania it was anpounced that nothing official on the subject had been received from General Manager Atterbury. The break jn the croas- ties which led to the derailment of the train are being repaired by the laying of wooden tes, and this gave 1ise to the supposition that the Pennsylvania intends to refrain in future from using the steel ties which have proved so expensive an experiment. Reports submitted to the railroad by the committee of engineers sent to investigate the cause of the wreck bear out the assertions that the snapping of the clips which joined the ties and the rail led di- rectly to the spreading of the ralls which threw the train over the em- bankmeni Some foreign object, possibly the brake shoe on the ten- der, got between the flange of the wheel and the lower track. The momentum of the train which was going at a 50-mile rate, formed the substance into a sort of wedge, which clipped off the bolts connect- ing the ties with the rail as evenly as If they were made of paper and were cut by a pair of shears Had a similar wedge been formed at a point where the wooden cross- ties were used the railroad men say the effect would not have been nearly so disastrous, for the reason that the bolts which foin them to the tracks are 2 inches longer than those used In the steel ties, and the chances are that they would have been only partly draw from their sockéts and would not have interfered with the running of the train About four months ago cross-ties were put on a trackage between Johnstown as an experiment They worked fairly well until the ad- vent of the cold weather, when, with the temperature on several occa- sions below zero, it was seen they were llable to Ye snapped by an ap- parently slight jar. The swaying of the fiver as It rounded a curve near Johnstown caused the flange of the wheels to extend out probably half an Inch from the traek. thus leaving an opening into which was dropped, presumably, a bolt or a nut from the brake apparatus. This was carried along by the train, and each time it struck one of the clips of the steel ties, which joined them with the track, they snapped easily and thus allowed the rails to spread apart. . the steel mile of Pittsburg and HOSPITAL FOR INEBRIATES. Representative Hitchcock Fathers the Bill of Tioga Representative Hitchcock of Tioga county, has introduced a bill in the for the construction of a State insti- tution for treatment of Inebriates and giving the governor power to appoint a commission of five persons to han- dle the job. The measure recites that “Inebriety is the direct cause In a large percentage of our citizenship of mental detertioriation, which mani- fests Itself in disease, Insanity, paup- erism and crime,” resulting In great expense to the state. In another sec- tion of the measure it is recited that “inebriety is a condition which, under proper environment, providing for ap- propriate care and treatment, will in a large proportion of cases result in neat Mr. Hitchcock proposes to have the commission of five select a site of 500 acres, accessible by rall from the larger cities, and “well supplied with pure water,” and to erect thereon a bullding or group of bulldings for the care and treatment of inebriates from all parts of the state. The State Board of Charities shall prepare the pians for the proposed building, and that the Institution shall be in operation within three years The blll Introduced into the legisla- ture providing that no voter shall have assistance in marking his ballot unless he is blind or physically un- able to use a pencil, seems to strike the nall on the head. Such a law would not only shut out the purchas- ing voters who permit others to mark their ballots for them, but also those who have no desire to learn to read or write. [It would be no great loss if the latter were denled the privil- ege of voting. Advertise in The Record women, has become one of the most popular sayings, with well-supported evidence. Girls marry, become charm- ing young matrons, and for what is seemingly a few years pass through 1 sea of social admiration, until sud- denly a day comes when to thelr sur- prise the daughters are of an age to be introduced into their world Short- Iy after this function girls usually marry.

Harry Thaw's Sanday in the Tombs It is most interesting to turn from the well-known ways to look other ing movement, now in its infancy. It has been adopted by the ultra-fash- ionable. For that reason it is bound to spread in some directions with good effect. The new fad is classic dancing, known to be the one perfect means of not only keeping the body in health, but of infusing grace and charm to every movement No woman is deriving so much benefit from it as the woman of 50 and upward. The many ailments that her sedentary life has encouraged are by this means banished A per- fect circulation is restored, vigor en- sues, her fine spirits return, she re- gains her old-time elasticity her en- thuglasms while her interests is re- vived in everything about her Her | complexion soon bears testimony b the color of cheek and lip and the brightness of her eyes, the gloss and | healthiness of her hair All this improvement has been proved to be the result of two lessons a week from a maltresse de danse, one whose intelligence supplies individual cases and for personal con- ditions. Here In truth, dowagers in society are finding the rebirth of their waning beauty, the rebirth of a phy- sigue which had been suffering from routine and inaction, as well as from the pampering processes of excessive case and good fortune. Now, it Is sald, they are possessed of the great blessing of good temper and a sane mentality, which In many cares is an endownment never possessed be- fore BEER DRINKING IS INCREASING. Statistics recently compiled show that the German people sull drink more beer than the people of any other nation, although the American thirst is increasing. Sweden and Denmark aiso have a larger beer consumption per capita than the United States. A noted German physi- cian has recently written a book deal- ing with the manufacture and drink- ing of the national beverage, in which he points out that the countries which consume the most beer are also the healthiest In his conslusions he as- serts that regular beer drinking is distinctly beneficial to human health. That Americans, In Increasing num- bers, are coming tw a similar view- point is shown by the Increased con- sumption of beer in the United States, which in 1906 was upward of 60,000. 000 barrels. This was an average of approximately three-quarters of a barrel, or 24 gallons, for each man, woman and child in the country In & booklet by Professor J. E Sibel of Chicago, on “Beer and its Place in Dietetics,” the author seeks to prove by chemical analysis and comparisons that beer is not only a healthy and refreshing beverage, but a valuable source of nourishment to the body. A vast majority of medi- cal practitioners now recommend It as a part of the daily diet, he asserts Statistics are given to prove that beer drinkers live longer, as a rule, persons who do not drink beer. Harry A. Poth, secretary and treas- urer of the corporation F. A. Poth & Sons, who controls the model hrew- ery erected by his father, the late Frederick A. Poth, expressed the opinion in a recent interview that an increasingly large class of the popu- lation recognize the nourishing qual- ities of beer. “The popular fallacy that beer is Ponsumed chiefly for its stimulating and narcotic qualities is rapidly disappearing,” he sald. “Such an opinion has never been held In Germany, where beer has from time immemorial been esteemed a health- fil and nourishing beverage. Scien- tific analysis proves it to contain in generous proportion the substances necessary for replenishing the waste of the hody, while the small amount of alcohol—three and a half per cent js only mildly stimulating. Even the alcohol in this small percentage, Is valuable aa a heat and force-pro- in carbohydrates. “From very viewpoint—the chemic- al, the pysiologital and the anatomic- al—the growing popularity of beer must be attributed to its dietary nd- vantages, and atl the same time its was aueventful.

Their Scarcity Due to Insuficient Salaries. Good teachers are getting scarce writes Ossian H. Lang in the Forum Cites which exact a high standing of qualification find their eligible lists depleted and no immediate sup- ply in sight. This state of things is in a measure accounted for by: the prevalling shabbiness in the remu- neration ol teachers. The rewards are not such to induce enough am- bitious young men to invest their tinie and strength in a thorough pre- paralory course. The Increase of money earning opportunities for working women has still further re- duced the Influx of desirable ma- terial. The situation is a serious one. Thousands of efficient teachers leave school work every year for more remunerative labor. They feel that they cannot afford the luxury of teaching. Meanwhile tthe number of inefficient ones must of necessity, in- and as a matter of fact is in- creasing. their inefficiency ranging all the way from lack of prolession- a! judgment down to rank illiteracy.
