"It Is because feather beds are highly hygroscopic a rather for midable word, hut one meaning sim ply that feathers readily absorb and condense moisture The body Is con stantly throwing off waste matter through the skin and Ihe lungs. The feathers In the bed will absorb this waste matter as readily as it will simple atmospheric moisture The feathers retain the waste matter dur ing the day when the bed Is cold, even when It.

Hooper, chairman of the Good Roads Board of the American Automobile Association, was one of the speakers at the automobile con vention at Springfield, Mass. Mr. Hooper was appointed by the direct ors as one of the A. A. A. delegates, nnd he told what Is being done under automobile influence throughout the country for Improved highways. The A. A. A. Good Roads' Committee in the paBt have usually been so only In name. This season, however, has been characterized by genuine work, and the national board has been en abled to organize several hard-working committees in a number of States. Mr. Hooper told the directors of an important move recently started in the South, a plan which, if success fully carried out. will be exactly In line with the practical results that the Springfield convention hopes to accomplish that Is, uniformity In tho building and maintenance of Slate roads. Mr. Hooper takes a very sanguine outlook of the work that farmers are going to do and the influence they will exert for better roads In the fu ture. Reports lately received by hlin from Wisconsin. Missouri, Minnesota, Indiana, Ohio, and other States show hat a far. more favorable view for good roads is being taken in the rural districts than was the case a year or two ago. "I wish to emphasize ono thing which Is becoming mero apparent every day," said Mr. Hooper, "and I that Is that farmers all over the coun I try are at least realizing that there I Is a good side to the automobllist, i and with very little work on our part I we can secure their co-oneratlon. " In Missouri an active campaign has recently been started to build a State highway from 8t. Louis to Kansas City. At the State Fair in Milwaukee the State Geologist was requested to I construct a piece of good roads on j tho grounds as nn object lesson of tho I benefits to be gained by Improved I highways. That the subject of improved high ways in America Is still In its infancy Is amply demonstrated by the first exhaustive report recently Issued by the United States Government Office of Public Roads. Statistics have been secured from every State and county in the country showing the respective road conditions for 1904. This shows that there were In use at that time 2,151,570 miles of public roads, of which only a fraction over seven pev cent., 153,664 miles, could be termed Improved roads. Indiana has the largest mileage of improved roads, 23,877, Ohio coming next with 23, 460, Wisconsin third, 10,633, and Kentucky fourth, 9486. Illinois, Michigan and Massachusetts have about 7000 milts each. The fact that these Western States excel in their extent of good roads may be a surprise to many Easterners who have regarded Massachusetts, New Jersey and other States as be ing the leaders in good roads work. In proportion, however, to Its total road area, Massachusetts It ads with about forty-six per cent., Rhode Isl and being second with forty-three per cent. Of this total of improved roads only a small proportion is mac adam, 108,232 miles being surfaced with gravel, 38,622 miles with stone, and C810 miles of special materials as shells, sand, clay, oil and brick. Misdemeanor of Bad Roads. It is heard that twenty-four town ship commissioners, or supervisors, have been Indicted In Venango Coun ty for permitting the roads under their charge to become bad. The ac tion Is unusual; but Its theory is evi dent. Road supervisors are consti tuted to keep the roads in good re pair. No man Is forced to accept a public ofl!c3, but if he does take it he is bound to discharge the duty. If a road supervisor takes the office and lets the roads become impassable ho falls to do what he is under obllpa 1 do, and Is guilty of a ralsde maanor. The doctrine is tart and far-reaching. For there are other offices In the State of Pennsylvania to which this principle of law might well be applied. Not to bother over local and petty examples, consider the In surance commissioners who through two administrations have confined their activities to periodical vUlts o the office for the purpose of drawing their exceedingly plump political In come. If the Venango County prin ciple spreads, and all officeholders who loaf on their jobs are to be in dicted, there will be a woeful stirring of the dry bones among tho Pennsyl vania politicians. Tho innove'.ion can be welcomed. The idea of indicting gentlemen who regard political office aB the suste nance of a leisure class Is alluring and promises liveliness. But If put Into universr'. practice It involves one Inconvenience, It all officeholders who neglect their duties, and espe cially all supervisors ,who let the roads become impassable, are to be sent to prison there must be u general provision for the enlargement of tho Jails of Pennsylvania.

BARGAIN HUNTERS ARE THE SENSIBLE WOMEN The Woman Who Boca NOT Hunt Bar. gains MISSES Opportunities, By Arthur llrlslmne Some foolish friend has asked us: "Why do you not denounco the bargain-counter mania? Is It because you are delighted to have the adver tising that the bargain counters brlngT" We are delighted to have the ad vertising thBt the bargain counters bring, or any othor honest advertis ing. We believe that the newspapers are Important to a community and that, they do good. And we know thnt a newspaper like this, which costs a good many millions a year to produce, and which is loM to the buyer for a good deal loss than It costs, could not. possible live except for tho energy of merchants and other advertising men. At the same time, advertising does not influence our opinions. Business men know that, and others can find out by experimenting. We do not oblige our correspondent by denouncing the bargain counter, "for instance, because we believe and we know that the wise woman ac tually profits by bargain advertise ments Invariably we assume that she does not buy what she does not want because It Is cheap. Bargains are published sometimes In order to bring women to (he store. A merchant Is willing to sell them one or two things at a very low price, even for less than the actual cost, trusting that while buying the bargain they will be attracted by something else on which he makes a reasonable profit. Ono department store always sells and delivers sugar, one of life's sta ples, for less than It actually costp the merchant to buy It wholesale. Another merchant sells another staple, a necessity of everyday life, for less than it actually costs him always with the idea of bringing women to the store. Often merchants have extraordi nary opportunities of purchasing be low the usual market rate. They give their customers the advantage of these opportunities, nnd while they, tho storekeepers, make a profit on the transaction, the customer gets valuable supplies for mcuh less than the ordinary cost. In other cases merchants compet ing with one another cut prices re gardless of actual cost, In the effort to show more staying power or com mercial courage than a rival. The intelligent woman is able to Identify the various bargains offered for these reasons and others, In good stores, and she combines with all the Joys of the chase the excitement of a stopping trip and the eiercise of judgment, the pleasure of getting something for a very reasonable price or for less than it Is actually worth. The woman who does not study the bargains, compare prices and seize opportunities, especially If she has a family to provide for with a limited Income, Is neglecting one of the duties and one of the amusements of a wo man's life in America in the twentieth century.

COAST DEFENSES LACK TEN THOUSAND MEN etter Opportunities In Civil Life Have Drawn Thousands From Army -Commissions Not Taken--Graduates of Technical Schools Ignore Proffer of Seoond Lieutenancies-- Many Vacancies. Washington, rj. C. The coast defenses of the United States are facing the most serious condition of recent years. Reports received by the War Department show that with an authorized force of 19,321 men the Coast Artillery on October 15 was able to muster only 9628. Ten thousand re cruits are needed to fill the ranks, and tbe question is whore to get them. An official report prepared last year in connection with the Aritllery Increase bill showed that the actual strength of the Coast Artillery waa 11,450 on October 16, 1906. Congress passed a bill authorizing the addi tion of 5000 men. but not only have the officials of tho army failed to get these extra men, but they have lost 2000 of those they had. Every month reports are received of men quitting the Coast Artillery to accept more lucrative places In civil life. Men of five, ten, fifteen years' service privates, sergeants, first sergeants, non-commissioned staff officers are leaving by the hundreds. Their electrical and mechanical training In the Coast Artillery especially fit them for good Jobs in civil life. Common civilian laborers at military posts ure making more money thnn the highest grade technical non-commissioned officers under whom they are employed. Teamsters, plumbers, firemen, engineers and elec tricians get rations, quarters, fuel, medical nttention, etc., practically all of the allowances of soldiers except uniforms, nnd In addition they get from $45 to $ 1 2 ", a month for eight hourB' work a day. SoldlerB performing the same duties at the same posts get from one third to one-half of the corresponding pay, are subjoct to all the rigors of military discipline, nnd are frequently on duty all day and all night. More remarkable is the difficulty of getting officers. For the first time In the history of the army vacancies in the grade of second lieutenant are going begging. The urtlllery bill of last year authorized the appointment In the Coast Artillery each year for five years of sixty second lieutenants. The appointments wero to be made: First, from graduates of West Point; secopd. from qualified enlisted men, and third, from civil life grad uate of technical colleges and schools. Invitations were sent to tho presi dents of 125 of the principal technical schools and colleges requesting them to send in the names of graduates who desired to be appointed. In six months no names have been submitted. Elghty-flvo vacancies in tho grade of second lieutenant of Coast Artillery exist to-day. SMALL GUNS WON JAPAN'S NAVAL VICTORY French Admiral Says Huge Artillory Was Not Effective-- Dreadnoughts a Mistake--Light Calibre Guns With Deadly Explosives Won Togo's Suscass on Fleet Ships of th6 Line. Paris, France. Admiral Germinet, the newly appointed commander of the Mediterranean squadron, totally disagrees with the naval experts of England, America nnd other countries who advocate the heaviest battleships and the heaviest guns M most serviceable In future naval warfare. He ar gues for not larger ships and bigger guns, but smaller, fleeter vessels capa ble of great mobility and armed with guns of smaller calibre capable of more rapid fire. This, he contends, Is tho real lesson of the Russo-Japanese war. The English admiralty, he says, built the Dreadnought on a misap prehension of the reasons of the Japanese successes. "Before obtaining complete Information," cays the Admiral, "the Eng lish attributed the Russian disaster to Togo's tactics and the big guns with which his ships wero armed. It was not true. I have recently obtained the proof from official documents. I do not question Togo's ability. I say only that the big artillery did not produce the effect, expected. At the beginning the Japauese used projectiles loaded with a comparatively small quantity of explosive. They soon realized their mistake and commenced the manu facture of shells capable of holding an enormous amount of explosive. All their ships carried that ammunition at the battle of Tsushima. To that tltcy owe their victory. The projectiles exploding on contact gave off a pro digious amount of iieat, which melted the hardest steel and produced a vol ume of gases which asphyxiated all who breathed it. The gases penetrated the interior of the Russlun ships and suffocated men even In tho hold. "In tho reports from which I obtained this information a case is cited where the ammunition hoist suddenly ceased working. Upon examination It was found Intact, but every mini at the bottom of the hoist was dead, without a vislblo wound; in other words, asphyxiated. Upon the same ship the electricity suddenly went out. The (Ires wero found uninjured, but the dynamo crew was doad, nuftocated to a man. Projectiles exploding against the ship's armor outside had Introduced gnses which put two big guns out of action and plunged tho ship in darkness. It was not Unit the Japanese shooting was marvelous. It was good. But the efficacy of the projectiles, many of which, by tho way, exploded in their flight, was the real secret of the Japanese victory." Profiting by this experience, Admiral Germinet contends that the French navy Bhould arm the ships with a good gun capable of firing shells carrying the maximum quantity of explosive. The 305-niilllmetro gun o( the Dreadnought class, he says, cannot do this, as the pressure of the dis charging load would create too much danger of tiling the explosive. Must Stop Wasting if Prosperity is to Continue. Washington, D. C. After an extensive investigation of the country'? natural resources, conducted in the West at tho instance of the Government, Professor J. A. Holmes, Chief of the Technologic Bureau of the Geological Survey, who has Just returned, has mado an official statement warning the American people that the present prodigious waste of these resources must stop at once If the country is to continue to proster. Professor Holmas made tho Investigation to determine how serious the situation Is. He declares that In the mining operations of the present time nearly one-half of the total coal supply Is being left under ground; that water as a Bourca of power is being wasted day after day and year after year to the extent o millions of horse power, and that forest fires have burned ni'oro lumber than has been used In the building of homes or In the industries. Professor Holmes says that the waBto of coal Is appalling. Every possible means should be adopted, he declares, for reducing this waste to an absolute minimum, In order that the country's fuel resources may suffice for tho future, as for tho piasent needs of the nation. "At the present rate of Increase Hi consumption," says Mr. Holmes, "the better part of the fuel supply of the country will be gone by tho end of the present century, unless the proper steps are taken." Would Hang Promoters of White-Slave Traffic. Washington, D. 0. That tho laws should be altered ao aa to make the Importation of women for immoral purposes a capital offense was emphati cally declared by Secretary StrauB. A national crusade against the white slave traffic has been inaugurated by the Federal Government. "Many innocent women and girls are brought to the United States un der promise of bettering their conditions," said Mr. Straus, but they are deceived and are mndo to lead lives of Bhame. This is ono of the worst crimes known to man. and any one guilty of it should be hanged. "In the past It his been im possible to break up the practice of bring ing women here for Unmoral purposes, owing to tho claim that tboy had been here so long that they could not be dopcrted and they were allowed to remain. Under the new rule of assuming they have not been here three years and requiring them to produce proof, the department will be able to send many of them back to their homes."
