We like to meet that man each day
on the way to the office, who regard-
les of the weather conditions, wheth-
er agreeable or disagreeable, who |
from force of habit, cries out his sal-|
utation, “Good morning, Fine morn-
ing.” Some bit of philosophy in the re-
mark. Each morning ought to have
something “fine” in it. Try it.
GOVERNOR BRUMBAUGH.
The new state executive, Dr. Martin
G. Brumbaugh, previous to and imme-
diately following his inauguration, is
proving a gratificaton to some of those
who had supposed that he was linked
indissolubly with the bosses. Our
new governor is trying to let the peo-
ple know that he is for the public
good, and he may have been misjudg-
ed relative to his attitude in the elec-
tion campaign on the local option
question. He was wise enough not to
say much at that time. One of the pro-
nounced traits of Dr. Brumbaugh is
that of independence in thinking and |
acting. We believe that in some things
he will agree with Mr. Penrose be- |
cause of sincere belief and in otrer re- |
spects he will run counter to the so!
called bosses. In fact Dr, Brumbaugh |
is able to be a boss himself. We need
“posses” only so they are right.

SLEEP WITH YOUR WINDOWS
WIDE OPEN.
Sleeping with your windows wide
open the year around is a matter of
habit and of bedclothes. Nature in-
tended us to have fresh air to breathe
If you have any
lingering memories of the old wives’!
tale that night air is injurious, put it |
aside. This, like many another old say-
ing, has no foundation in fact.
The following is the good advice |
given by Dr. Samuel G. Dixon, state |
commissioner of Health in this week’s
on Health and Hygi-
Does your bedroom window drop
with mercury? Do the windw openings
which cannot be too wide in the sum-
mer time gradually fall to an inch
or two at this season of the year? Do
you think that your need for fresh
air diminishes with the arrival of the
first cold wave? If so, you are great-
ly mistaken.
If the thought of wide open windows
in zero weather is appalling, pluck up
courage and try a small dose first. You
will find it far better to spend
more money for blankets and com-
fortables than for doctor billh and
medicine, and eight hours’ sleep in
cool, fresh, invigorating air is a far
better stimulant than “anything that
comes in bottles, no matter what the
claims on the labels.
It may be that your daily business
demands your presence in stuffy, ov-
erheated work rooms or offices where
the regulation of temperature is not
within your individual control. It may
be that your fellow workers or employ-
ers are not wise enough to appreciate
the value from a business standpoint
of good ventilation in the workrooms.
If it is your misfortune to be so con-
yourself the maximum amount of ven-
tilation during the hours of sleep.

UNIQUe CHURCH PLAN.
FOR RAISING FUNDS.
A unique plan for the raising of mon-
ey for interest on the mortgage has
been organized by Rev. Matteson of
the Methodist church and is now being
put into active operation. It is simply
a plan by which a large sum of money
may be raised annually by the giving
of small amounts frequently and reg:
ularly. !
The plan is organized after the cal~
endar year and is called The Meyers-
dale Methodist Episcopal Church Cal-
endar. One person represents the year,
twelve persons, the months, fifty-two
persons the weeks and 365 people, the
the days; each person contributes ten
cents per month towards the ealendar
The weeks collect it for thy Hays,
put their own with it, and the nths
20llect it from the weeks put their own
with it and turn it over to. the year.
TLe extra days over the four wecks,
in eleven months are taken care of
by each month. The person is kept uc-
count of not by name but by the day
or week or month that she or he rep-
resents. For instance the person rep-
resenting January is known as Janu-
ary, the person representing the sec-
ond week in January is known as Jan.
2nd. Week; the first day of the second
week would, of course, be Jan. 8th, so
the person on the book is known as
Jan. 8th. ?
The plan is being carried out by
members of other churches of the

but there is no objection to outsid-
