STEWART. London, Eng. What self-help and thrift can do for a nmn is strik ingly demonstrated by the tan.1 of John Morrison, a Yorkshire carpenter, who, although his wnes hail nev er exeeedi'd Sft.tH a week. liiu ilie Hulii-lmiliiil cum of $ I ",o( mi, cvcrv liuil Iv'iii h 1 1 1 li Imve lirliin Jieiinv il' h the fruit of .'living. When lit' married, a Utile over forty year, ngo, he looked around to Roe what economics he could effect. lie found that he had been spending ut least $1.25 a week ou beer and tobacco; thcie he could very well dis pense with. Thut meant a saving of $05 a year. And this was the nucleus of his fortune. A few weeks later his wages were raised from $7.50 a week to $8.75 weekly. He could rub along without the extra $1.25, and wus thus able to put by $130 a year. When his savings had amounted to $500, he bought two cottages, borrowing throe-fourths of the purchase money and paying off the loan out of the rents. lie was a man of property now. The appetite for thrift took full possession of him. He was fond of gardening, and he decided to turn his hobby and his spare time into money. He rented half an acre of land; his wife opened a shop for the sale of the produce, and the first year he was able to increase his savings to $5 a week, with which, in two years' time, he was able to buy two more houses. And thus simply his fortune grew. House was added to house, each paying for its own purchase with its rent, until at sixty-nine he was able to retire on $750 a year, almost twice his highest wages as workman, and when he died to leave a good $15,000 behind him. And what John Morrison could do, and did, others have done. Only a few weeks ago. a workingman confessed in a court of law thut he had already saved $3,000 out of wages which had never exceeded $7.50 a week. "How did you do it?" asked the magistrate, "ily a little self-denial, your worship," the man answered, und then proudly added: "And I've brought up four children, too; and now there's only me and the wife. I'm going to buy an annuity with it, which, they say, will come to more tluin $350 a year." q Bachelor ShouldWear Tag of Some Kind By Do rut Gallienoe, San Franciico Bachelors ought to be tagged, because there never was a woman between the ages of sixteen and sixty who at some stage of the game did not sigh and say inwardly : "I wonder if he's " , And why should n't she? 'Women all have the same ideal! You may raise your voice loud and strong for "votes for women." I may coo in dulcet tones of "art for art's sake," but you know as well as I know that we are all dying to stay at home and be a slave for Ihe "right man." and shower all the tenderness of our souls upon the little one. But because youth is fleeting and Cupid a drone we get panicky the first pop into wohanhood. We don't know who is who and we blunder along dreaming dreama. Then nine times out of ten we get shoved into the jam jar with the news of: "Why, he's married and has six children." At this crisis some of us fall for the "first chance." Others of us wait around in moody cynicism until the "last call for the altar" rouses us into action, and worst of all, there are some of us who never hear even the faintest echo of ihi "masculine want." I am imiling as my pen runs along. I'm thinking of a nice fat old maid of my acquaintance who stands A No. 1 in "medicine." Incidentally she is frozen to the core: I can hear her say: "Drat the men!!! And you, you hussy, you ought to be ashamed of yourself." But nevertheless I know that we women are "the female of the spe cies" first, last and always, and if we could be sure that (individually speaking) tho man that "bikes our eye" is a bachelor and that we are not treading on the private lawns of our sisters, we might arrive at the proxT ways and means of turning "our ideal" into tho right pasture where he could be kept corralled mid happy for the rest of his three score and ten Improving Health by Taking Exercise By E. R. R1CKARD, Boston. Mm Nature is such a natural and. unpresumptuous won der worker that we hardly seem impressed by the mir acles that she performs right under our eyes. I have in mind especially now the remarkable results that have been obtained and are being obtained through nature's own methods in relieving men of their physical ailments and weaknesses. Within a few months I have put on ten pounds in weight This result in Fpite of the fact that for the past six years I have been under weight and never put on a pound, although I dieted and slept sufficiently at all times. My late increase in weight and improvement in health were obtained through deep breathing, full relaxation and full contraction exercise, under competent direction, which is really the natural way for the body to get these things, and was the everyday way, before we were perverted through our sedentary habiU and tense, fast living. But my improvements were insignificant when compared to other men who were in worse condition than myself to start 'with. I know of a large number of men who have, through these same methods, been relieved of their nervousness, insomnia, obesity, constipation, hendaches, rheuma tism, anemia and almost every aflliction in materia medica. I have often seen men who were run down to the verge of nervous prostration built up to robust health and strength. If some physician were to procure such results by his prescription the achievement would be the talk of the town, but when nature works these wondrous results we accept them as a matter of fact and think nothing of it. Helpful Little Facts About Catching Cold By George F. Bulla, A.M.,M.D.,C3iicago At the risk of destroying one of our dearest medical idols, I am bound to say that taking cold is largely a bugbear, made much of, but plays an unimportant part in the causation of catarrh. Taking cold is frequently the result of taking too much food. It is another name for foul air, an overloaded stomach and a disordered liver. Lack tf proper nourishment, indigestion, improper oxygenation and mental depression are by for the more direct and important causes fhan mere exposure. The proper care of the skin is the best preventive of catarrh. The daily sponge bath with friction brush or with exposure of the body to sun and air is Bimple and helps to prevent and cure catarrh and other diseases. Every now and then John Warj ner, or uettysburg, inserts an advertisement in the local papers advising that he will call on a certain day for any surplus cat3 the residents of the town may have. The feline3 are then tak en to the biological department of the Gettysburg College where they are painlessly put to death. Rev. G. R. Bernhard, of the Biddle Memorial church, Carlisle, preached in the Presbyterian church in this place last Sunday morning and evening, much to the pleasure and edification of the congregations that heard him. Mr. Bernhard is a gifted pulpit orator, and will find a warm wel come at any time it may be con venient for him to visit McConnellsburg.

We've been thinking we've been thinking, what a county this would be; if we could tele phone for news, from Wells to Buck Vallee. We sit and chew our pencil, thinking what to print to please, our readers out in Tay tor, or down on Bethel's lees. Plum Run to death, we toss in bed; and hope that Emma, will send Dott Gem, we Need more still, to ease our Akering head. Warfordsburg, I do declare, is almost off our map; we cannot even Hir'em, to hit the wire a tap. Wells Tannery's good for kids, it cures 'em of some ills. In Union there is strength they say but she can't touch Sipes Mills. Crystal Springs has sparkling eyes, as any little lady; but she's farther away by phone I vow, than we are from Grenady. From Dickeys icy Mountain, to Enid's moral strand, there's many a press-day item, we fail by phone to land.
