Prosperity is within the reach
of everyone. But we must first
reach.

county, this state, killed a hog
last week, that weighed 1049
pounds.
Grounds for the State fair have
been purchased between Harris
burg and Middletown, near the

wearing breeches that beats his
wife. History tells us the same
pastime is in vogue with other
savage tribes.

The method de scribed may be
used for all small skins, such as
sheep, goat fox, wolf, rabbit and
any others when-an open skin
desired.
The skin should be removed
from the carcass before decompo
sition has advanced to a noticeable
extent freed from blood and dirt
by wiping with a damp rag, then
combed until quite dry. Apply
a good covering of salt rubbing
it into every part of the flesh
side. Roil the skin, flesh side in
and set aside in a place free from
rats, etc., for about ten hours,
or over night .
With a very sharp knife or ra
zor remove all lumps of fat and
flesh. Work the skin in gasoline
for an hour or two. (Caution
Away from all fires and outside
of a building. ) Then hang up in
the shade to dry. This will re
quire but a few minutes.
Stretch the skin, flesh side up,
on a nat suriace. Clamps are
good to hold the skin: tacks of
ten cause large holes. The
stretching should be done with
care and not enough to pull the
hair apart Excessive stretching
will develop thin spots, which
will wear rapidly.
Prepare an acid-salt solution
by dissolving two pounds of salt
in a gallon of boiling water, and
when this is cold, add a fluid
ounce of strong sulfuric acid.
Mix well.
Wet a rag with the solution
and apply it to the skin every
little while for three or four
days, Then allow the skin to be
come almost dry, remove it from
the drying board. Now work
the flesh side back and forth ov
er the edge of a smooth piece of
hardwood a good shovel handle
will do until the skin is soft
If the flesh side should be hard
or rough in spots it may be fin
ished with sandpaper. Dr. Char

Digest of Liquor Laws.
Scoville's Digest of the Liquor
Laws of Pennsylvania from 1700
to 1914 and Rutt's Statistical
Comparisons of the Liquor ques
tion for the United States and
Pennsylvania, indicates the con
tents of the Manual For Temper
ance Workers" just issued by
the Inter-County No-License Fed
eration of Pennsylvania, West
Chester, Pa,
This book, comprising twenty
four pages and cover, size 6x9,
is particularly interesting at this
time because of the movement a
gainst the Liquor Traffic in near
ly every county of the State
through their annual License
Courts. It gives the Brooks High
License Law, arranged topically
indexed, and in such shape that
a No-License man can be his own
lawyer, to some extent and en
tor his chosen warfare well in
formed and enlightened on the
fine points of the Liquor Laws o
Pennsylvania.
On the other hand a Liquor
man will find the book suited to
his needs in the information it
gives him for the conduct of his
business according to law and
the legal requirements of his li
cense.
Well classified, as it is, this
publication seems to meet a pres
ent demand. Price 25c by mail,

Many Goats Died.
Those who are familiar with
conditions in coal mining towns
know that many of the foreign
miners keep goats for the sake
of their rich and healthful milk,
and because of the ability of
these animals to forage for them
selves, at little cost to the owner.
The foot and mouth disease kill
ed about twenty of . Hazelton's
goats a short time ago. Many a
poor little "kid" will now be de
prived of its best nourishment
Since we are on the subject of
goats, let us say that goat's milk
is considered by physicians as a
better food for invalids than cow's
milk, and at some' hospitals ar
rangements have been made to
secure a regular Bupply. In
many places on the Pacific coast,
well-to-do American families keep
goata in preference to cows.
A Sad Comment.
Having learned a sad lesson
from observation, that a genera
tion of irresponsible parents brine:
forth a generation of irresponsi
ble offspring, the better class of
Jews of New York have started
a long chain of training schools
for both parents and children.' A
writer in Harpers Weekly makes
comment as follows: "All this
for Jews by Jews, but the Gen
tiles too have the same problem
both in kind and degree, and
may perhaps learn by this great
undertaking. For the need is
real and general, that somoliow,
reverence for parents, under
standing of growing boys and
girls, and standards of conduct
should be taught to all ; kinds of
uninstructed parents, and to all
kinds of undisciplined youth."
