At a meeting of the Homeo pathic Medical Society in Phila delphia County, held in Hahne mann College, Philadelphia, last week, a warning against the use of tobacco was issued. This warning was embodied in a re port of the cancer Commission of the Society, of which Dr. Theo dore Gramm is chairman. Dr. Gramm reiterated the as sertion that irritation of the mouth, tongue and throat, caus ed by incessant pipe and cigar smoking, is a most favorable con dition for the breeding of cancer. "It is not believed, however, from what investigation has been made that cancer is a primary in fection, he said. It seem3 to be secondary, and depends for its development on some condi tion or irritation of uncleanliness preceding it" The excessive us of tobacco brought about the cancer that cost General Grant his life. Lovely Day for a far. Aunt Mary is the best old soul you'll meet in many a day. She's 'tended to her knitting in the good old-fashioned way. She never gabs nor gossips, she has no time to gad and she seldom reads the papers, 'cause, she says, they make her sad. She drove to town Monday afternoon to shop around a bit and Scott Runyan the grocery man, invited her to sit Says he "Aint this war awful?" and Aunt Mary says "My Land! Aint heard a word about it I aint even heard no band." And Scott says "Sure, old England and France and Rus sia, too, are a fighting with the Kaiser, why, it's worse than 'G2." Aunt Mary answered sweetly, as she started on her way, "Well they've got nice weather for it, 'cause it's jest a lovely day?" At least one Cumberland coun ty young farmer will have "sweet milk" for a while. He took home five pounds of sugar recent ly and while he was putting his horse in the stable, a cow wan dered around to where the buggy was standing and ate the sugar.

How Much Longer Will You Pay ? For four years in Pennsylvania, for two in New Jersey, the Full Crew Law has had the acid test of every-day experience. What has it accomplished ? Five and one-half million dollars have been wasted by the rail roads, and in no single instance has the Full Crew Law, that com pels this waste, contributed one jot to the safety of the traveling public. In proportion to the great body of railroad employes, the number of extra men forced on the railroads by the Full Crew bill is small. But their pay is high, higher, in fact, than the wages really earned by most other classes of employes. It costs the railroads $2566 in one year to pay the superfluous trainmen on one passenger train operating between New York and Pittsburgh. That's but a single item, taken at random from the tremendous bill which directly or indirectly each citizen has to pay. But the people are now determined to pay this needless bill no longer. If you have not yet voiced your personal demand that the waste of this money that should be spent for your better and safer service be stopped, a letter to your elected representative at Harrisburg and Trenton is your most effective method.
