Always have Kennedy's Laxa

nearly as good as maple sugar.
It cures the clod by gently mov.
ing the bowels through its laxa

time it is soothing for throat ir

County Superintendent, J. G.
Dell of Huntingdon county is
sending to the teachers of his
county notices like this: "The
14th of February, 1909, will be
the one hnndreth anniversary of
the birth of our first martyred
president The Great American
Washington was an Englishman,
who became the "Father of his
Country." You are asked to
make the day memorable to every
pupil in your schools, by having a
special program for the occasion.
The teacher who may not be suf
ficiently patriotic to hold a speci
al Lincoln service on that day is
to be pitied. We have none. Let
every pupil study his life,-that
life which was great because of
its simplicity. Have Patriotic
selections recited and national
songs sung. The program should
includo Lincoln's Gettysburg
Speech, O Captain! My Captain,
and Lincoln's favorite poem, O
Why Should the Spirit of Mortal
be Proud?" .. V
FRESH AIR IN THE HOUSfc.
Matter of Much Importance That is Tee Pre
quently Nejlected.
During cold weather, when
houses must necessarily be kept
closed most of the time, extia
precautions should be taken to
keep the air pure.
No matter how low the temper
ature, the windows and doors on
the first floor should be opened
for at least 15 minutes the first
thing in the morning. If the
cook or maid be instructed to do
this as soon as Bbe arises, the
house will be nicely warmed
again by the time the family is
down.
After each meal there should
be another thorough airing of the
lower floor. No matter how per
fect the system of ventilation, it
is impossible to prevent cooking
odors. This airing is doubly neo
essary should there be smokers
in the family.
Each bedroom should have the
windows flung wide open until
after breakfast. If this is not
done for the sake of daintiness,
it should never be forgotten in
the interest of health. '
In a family sitting-room there
Bhould be some arrangements
made by which there is aeon
stant change of air without draft.
If it can be managed in no other
way, the window should be rais
ed a few inches and a screen
placed in front of it
There is no surer sign of bad
housekeeping than ahouse which
bas an odor of any kind, and the
custom of some women to burn
Boentrd wafers In their rooms in
lieu of fresh air, is not to be cop-

Needs Revision.
The divorce statistics of this
country are not pleasant reading
and reveal a deplorable amount
of domestic infelicity. Admit
ting as all do, that in some in
stances divorces are necessary
and make for better domestic
conditions, yet it cannot be denied
that divorce is far too frequent
and that some reform is needed.
Probably what is most needed is
a higher conception of the mar
riage state and fewer injudicious
marriages. Many people enter
upon the marriage relation who
are altogether unfitted or unpre
pared for it. Then, too, many
people seem to look upon mar
riage as almost a ioke or a piece
of fun, and they learn by sad ex
perience in most cases the truth
of the old adage that ' those who
marry in haste repent at leisure."
If the sacredness of the institu
tion were more fully recognized
and better judgment shown in
forming ties there would soon be
a falling off in divorce statistics.
The Miolster'a Wife.
The minister's wife ought to
be selected by a committee of the
church. She should be warrant
ed never to have headache or
neuralgia; she should have nerves
of wire and sinews of jron, she
should never be tiredshe should
be cheerful and intellectual, pious
and domesticated; she should be
able to keep her husband's house
darn his stockings make his
shirts, cook his dinner and copy
his sermons." She should keen
up the style of a lady on wages
of a day laborer, and be always
at leisure for "good works," and
ready to receive morning calls.
She should be secretary of the
Band of Hope "and presidant of
the Missionary Society ; she
should conduct Bible classes and
mothers' meetings; should make
clothing for the poor and gruel
for the sick; and finally, she
should be pleased with everybody
and everything and uever desire
any reward beyond the satisfac
tion of having done her own duty
v and other people'! too. Ex.

Make another of their great and unusual Piano sales on a new
plan. Read how it is done :
By reason of the fact that a large number of the biggest
and most reliable piano manutacturers of the United States
have, for this year, concentrated their advertising efforts in one
direction, and, after due consideration, have adopted The As
sociate Advertising Company plan of direct dealing for cash
(or its equivalent), instead of immenss sums pf money spent in
very expensive magazine advertising. The Associate Advertis
ing Company diverts so much money on the purchase price of
each piano, and the coupon issued by them will be honored by
the Reliable Troup Bros. Piano Stores on presentation, wheth
er a cash or time purchase, if presented on or before February
1,1909. . 7
This plan of the Great Chicago Advertising Company is only
given to large and reliable dealers who can guarantee so many
sales and Troup Bros', was the firm selected for this territory.
How well they will carry out their part of the contract you are
all informed.

Carrying Deadly Weapons.
Among the various proposi
tions for breaking up the habit
of carrying concealed deadly
weapons is one that a person who
carries a pistol shall be made to
pay a license fee of $100 for the
privilege. It comes from Pitts
burg. This is just as good a remedy
as most that are advanced. Very
few persons would care to pay
that amount of money just for
the permission to carry a gun
The difficulty with the sugges
tion is, however, that it could not
be enforced even as a law. Near
ly if not quite all the States now
have laws making it a misde
meanor to carry a concealed
deadly weapon and yet many
thousands do carry such weapons
unknown to the authorities. It
is only when such persons get
into trouble with their guns
troubles which the law is intend
ed to prevent that the fact is re
vealed. People who carry deadly weap
ons must expect to have some
use for them or they would not
carry them. With some they
are an incentive to crime and are
brought into use without much
provocation, but in a majority of
cases the fact that they are car
ried is never known. No doubt
there would be less of that sort
of thing if there were more fear
of the law.-- There would be more
fear of the law if it provided a
severer penalty. In most in
stances dot it is a fino of no
great amount; if a term is prison
were imposed it would mean
more
But the main thing is to catch
those who carry guus without
the right to do so. None of the
suggestions for abating the evil
tell how that can be done and for
that reason none is wholly effective.
