Conservation vs. Destruc ion.
The involyement of the larger por-
tion of the civilized world in warfare,
the frightful destruction of human
life due to modern arms and the]
vastness of the operaiions has focused
the attention of our entire nation
upon the events occurring across
the seas and has cast a gloom over
the minds of all thinking men.
Within a generation phenomenal
strides have been made toward the
conservation of mankind throughout
the world. We haye begun to learn
how to preserve the weak and pro-
tect the strong from disease. Already
the efforts along these lines have re-
sultedsn enormous economic sayings
and have made possivle gigantic
monuments so the constructive abil-
ity of mankind such as the Panama
Canal.
When the- great Nations of the
world are sending the flower of their
manhood to destruction it is almost
natural to feel that efforts to con-
serve life are ephemeral. However,
when the work of destruction has
ceased the work of re-building must
begin. The economic struggle for
existence will be keener than eyer
before in the history of the world
and the conservation of the health of
the peoples struggling to recuperete
will be a still greater factor in their
efforts to regain their physical and
economic equlibrinm. ys |
As a nation we are inj a unique
and Simportant position to; maintain
which we will deed sound bodies
and sane minds. al
Let us coutinue with redoubled
vigor the work of improving individ-
ual and public health.

Reading in Bed Made Easy.
There is a great deal of pleasure ia
reading in bed. Mark Twain not only
read while stretched out in bed but
did most of his creative literary work
in the same position.
Reading while prooped up in bed is
no more harmful than reading beside
the library table provided a good
light is obtainable. An electric lamp
of twenty candle-power farnishes an
excellent light for this purpose if it is
arranged so it can be affixed in a
proper position on the head of the
bed.
A portable lamp for this purpose
consists of a long silk-covered cord,
to oné end. of which is affixed the
necessary screw plug for connecting
with the wall socket. At the other
endjis the lamp and shade and a suit-
ableiclasp for fastening the lamp to
the head of the bed.

When Children First Speak.
The average child begins with the
words “mamma” or “papa” by eleven
months. By the ending of the second
year he is able to put words together
in short sentences of two or three
words. From this time on the progress
in speech is very rapid, each few weeks
showing great improvement. Names of
persons, as a rule, are first acquired,
then the names of objects. Next to this
the verbs are learned and then adverbs
follow in order, and last of all the per- |
sonal pronouns.
If a child of two years makes no at-
tempt to speak some mental defect
may usually be suspected or that the
child is a deaf mute.—Philadelphia Rec-
ord.

man Steamer.
New York.—A riot aboard the Ger
man steamer Bleucher, at anchor in
the harbor of Pernambuco, Brazil, in
which three of the Bleucher’s crew
and 50 of her 800 steerage passengers
were killed, was described by pas-
sengers aboard the Brazilian steamer
Sao Paulo upon her arrival here.
The Bleucher was bound from
Buenos Ayres for Hamburg, under
the German flag, when Germany and
England went to war. Upon learning
that war had been declared the Bleu-
cher put back to Pernambuco. She
had aboard, the Sao Paulo's passen-
gers asserted, several million dollars
for London. When Pernambuco was
reached the steerage passengers in-
sisted that the ship proceed to her
destination, and, upon the refusal of
the Bleucher's officers to do so, a riot
was started. The bodies of the steer-
age passengers who were killed were
thrown overboard, according to the
Sao Paulo’s passengers,

PENROSE DENIES MEN WORK
IN PHILADELPHIA TO HELP
iS CRY CF
City. Councils, Controlled by
Senator's Followers Refuse
to Authorize Public Works.
12,000,000 IN WAGES HELD UP
Approximately 15,000 Men could Be
Put to Work at Once If
Penrose Followers Did
Their Duty.
Philadelphia, Sept. 9.—In order te
help Senator Penrose’s campaign and
add force to the senator's cry of
“hard times” "the city council of
Philadelphia, controlled by Penrose,
has absolutely refused to authorize
millions of dollars’ worth of publie
works and has broken all records
by taking a summer vacation unti]
October.
This action throws back until after
election the expenditure of $17,825,000
of important public improvements
which are urgently needed and which
Mayor Blankenburg and his directors
have begged councils to allow them
to start work on.
It throws back until after election
the expenditure of approximately
$12,910,000 in wages.
Throws Men Out of Work.
The great bulk of the improvement
in Philadelphia would have given
work to laborers at $2 per day. The
action’ of the Penrose controlled coun-
cils means that approximately 10,000
unskilled workers will not have a
chance to work on city jobs and that
approximately 5,000 skilled workers
whose wages would amount to from
$3 to $7 per day have been deprived
of this chance for good jobs.
In order to make it absolutely cer-
tain that no public improvements
could be started until after election,
councils adjourned for the summer
until October 1, which is two weeks
longer than their customary time.
When councils meet in October it
will me impossible to draw up the
necessary ordinances and submit them
to the people in order to make the
$17,825,000 for public works available
until after election.
Wants to Create “Hard Times.”
With laborers and skilled me-
chanics walking the streets and look-
‘Ing for jobs because the municipal
improvements have been held up,
Penrose and lis henchmen expect to
point to the idle men as an indica-
tion of the awful effect of the Demo-
cratic tariff.
Penrcse’s whole campaign is based
on his cry of “hard times” and fear-
ful that the municipal improvements
which have been provided for in Phil-
gadelphia would give men work, the
‘senator through the control of coun-
cils by his Republican machine has
deliberately taken steps to throw men
out of work.
The extra long vacation of councils
and the refusal to authorize the pub-
lic work was insisted on by councils
after Mayor Blankenburg had per:
sorfally requested the presidents of
both chambers of council not to ad-
journ their bodies until the much
needed improvements could be put
through. When they disregarded the
mayor's request and adjourned coun-
cils, Blankenburg then personally
asked the presidents of both cham:
bers; to call a special session so that
the city would not suffer by delay.
This was also refused.
Last spring two city loans were
declared invalid by the courts be:
cause of technical defects. Mayor
‘ Blankenburg then immediately asked
that the defects be remedied.
councis has refused.
The work which is held purposely
by councils and which the mayor and
his directors have repeatedly asked
for is as follows:

THINK OF THIS!
July 22, 1811. Penross votsd for the
Canadian Reciprocity bill a free trade
measure aimed to put all farm pro
ducts on the free list.
Now, in 1914, He is trying to tell
the farmers of Pennsylvania that he
is for protection.
October 19, 1904. Standard Oil
gave Penrose a check for $25,000.
Now, in 1914. The liquor interests
and other special interests that Pen-
rose has helped are raising a great
“slush” fund to try to re-elect him.
May 6, 1912, in the Senate, Penrose
refused to vote for a Workmen's s com-
pensation bill.
June, 1913, in the State Legislature
of Pennsylvania, he defeated the
workmen’s compensation bill.
Now, in 1914. He is trying to fool
the workmen of the state by telling
them that he is for a workmen’s com-
pensation bill.
Tolstol’s Library.
Count Tolstoi’s secretary says that
the great writer's library numbered
10,000 volumes, in 32 languages. There
were almost as many books in Eng-
lish as in Russian—3,416 against 3,505.
An Actor in Spite of Himself.
President Arthur Twining Hadley,
of Yale, used to recall with zest his
one appearance, in his early days, as
an amateur actor. “They didn’t give
me any words to speak,” he said; “all
I had to do was to walk across the
stage, but it brought down the house.” |
—The World's Work.
Drama Followed the Dance.
In ancient times the dance was the
first mode of entertainment; then
came the drama, derived from a
Greek word, meaning “to act” In
Greece it was given in the open or
in buildings, known as theaters, after
a Greek word meaning “to see.”
Years Make a Difference.
At sixteen a romantic girl expects
to marry a prince who will drink
wine from her slipper; ten years later
she may grab a chap who drinks
suds from a can.
