3 po 3 aA I fn mere———— { TIMELY HINTS ON BATHING. Little Talks on Health and Hygiene by State Com. Dixon. i When Adam first fell into the wat | er ‘the human race took a step for- ward. Civilization and bath tubs now | go hand in hand. | Authorities may vary in discussng the merits of the hot bath, the tepid bath and the cold bath, but they all a- gree in the abstract that bathing is a necessity to good health and a prime promoter of self respect. The yemoval from the skin of the accun- ulation of refuse matter is the primary reason for the bath. It is essential to good health that the skin be kept in proper condition as it automatically regulates the heat of the body, permitting it to cool off when it becomes too warm and keep- ing in heat when it becomes too coid. It assists the lungs and kidneys in the disposal of refuse matter. When the skin sweats it assists the kidneys. When not too heavily clothed it re- gpires and helps the lungs. A bath should not be taken too near meal time. There is a normal attract- fon of the blood toward the stomach after eating; any interference with this and the attraction of the blood toward the surface of the body is apt to arrest digestion. Warm baths have a soothing effect avd are often prescribed for nervous- ness. The tepid bath can do no harm. igld baths are stimulating but are apt to be injurious if the heart action 1s mot strong enough to permit of a ready veaction. To some individuals the shock to the nervous system is so gieat they cannot accustom them- s£lves to cold baths. GOOD ADVICE TO BOYS. Because the boy of twelve to eigh- teen years is inexperienced, he does does not welcome advice and if he knew who I am, he would probably form his opinion of me at once—that I am an old fossil, “butting’ into oth- er people's business. However, I am going to give him some advice in this article. If he accepts it, sometime perhaps, he will remember this pa- per and thank me for it If he does not accept it, the loss is his. The boy wno is noisy and impolite on the streets is making a misitake in being so. He may work himself up to a position of high-standing among his companions—he may become the “bully of the bunch,” but that posi- tion is not worth striving for. In fact it is one to be avoided. The business men of the town are ‘watching you, young man and it is to your interest, more by far, to ¢ourt their esteem than that of your pals. You are growing into manhood. rapidly. Soon you will be wanting em ployment. Your conduct today deter- mines your chances of the future. If we could read their minds there are no doubt several business men in town this very day who are need- ing a boy and who are wondering what boy in town is worthy of his ¢#ust. You may be too young for the position, now, but such opportunities always will be open. It remains only for you to guard your character and reputation that men may have con- fidence in you when your time comes. Men like a gentlemanly boy. You don’t need to be a “sissy,” but you must not be rude. Have all the fun you want, but make sure that your ideas of fun are not offensive to someone else. Try to keep always in mind that you are a boy and that. older people really do know what is best. Respect their desires, acquire all the educa- ticn vou can get, and your opportun- ity will come.—EX. VICINITY OF MEYERSDALE. Urias Hook is working for Owen Baer at present. Mr. Hook likes Greenville O. K. and can raise as heavy a beard as any man in Green- ville. Homer Fritz, a progressive young farmer of near Friedens, was trans- acting business in Meyersdale Satur- #%y. Mr. Fritz intends to move near Garrett about the first of April.

Miss Grace is a daugh- ter of Dennis Baker of Summit. marl Schrock has hired to J. P. Saylor for the summer. SAFETY FROM FIRE. Safeguards for the prevention of fires in stores, factories and other es- tablishments are outlined by Com- missioner John Price Jackson of the Department of Labor and Industry in a pamphlet issued Monday giving | “Timely Hints on Safety from Fire.” “There should be at least two ways of escape, for employes from every work room in a factory,” says the Commissioner. “Inadequate means of escape has caused most of the loss of life from fires. The number and size of exits and stairways should always be ample to permit egress of workers from every room without crowding. “Fire drills should be held at irre- gular intervals, at least once every month without any previous notice being given to the employes. Workers should never know whether a fire drill is for practice or for escape from an actual blaze. “Locked doors or doors that open inward should be entirely eliminated. in many instances they have delayed escape just long enough to allow smoke and flame to accomplish dead- ly work. EL “The first few minutes at the begin- ning of a fire are the vital ones and the time when escape can be made. Occupants on the upper floors of a factory filled with working machinery or of large buildings or institutions cannot hear or know immediately of a fire occurring on a lower floor unless there is a proper fire alarm signal. A delay until they smell smoke will no doubt mean smoke filled exits and the death of these persons. “The time to put out a fire is when it begins. Fire extinguishers should be plentifully supplied and prominently 18cated. “Every factory or assemblage hall should have fire walls and fireproof doors that close without fail. The au- tomatic sprinkler has proven very ef- fective. . ROCKWOOD . Mrs. Herman Enos, of Upper Tur- keyfoot township, has purchased the home of James E. Douglas, in Rock- wood for $1.900.

Consolidated Stock and Produce Ex- change Cited to Defend Charter. Simultaneously, thirteen alleged bucket shops were raided by state police in western Pennsylvania, mark- ing the beginning of the crusade against these places promised by Gov- ernor Brumbaugh soon after his in- auguration. Six of the places were in Pittsburgh. Thirty-one arrests of stockholders and their employees were made in Pittsburgh and one arrest was made in each of the following towns: New Castle, Sharon, Oil City, Indiana, Butler, Washington and Youngstown, Pa. Forty members of Troop A, state police, under command of Captain Linn G. Adams and acting under the direction of Deputy Attorney General Horace W. Davis, spread the net that gathered in the stock traders. Agents of the New York Stock Ex- change and the Chicago Board of Trade assisted in the raids; they have been helping the state to gather the evidence. Those arrested in the raids were: Consolidated Exchange, Pittsburgh —Alexander D. Munn, secretary and treasurer; Louis Heilig, C. C. Ilgen- fritz, G. S. Walker, W. R. Adams, F. X. Heilig, J. S..Smyth and John Davies, employees. Harry C. Schauble’s Brokerage Of- fice—R. H. Mason, W. H. Fox and G. Vanderhoover, employees. : A. J. Cummings & Co.—Herman Reynolds, H. W. White, Otto Drager.

Evidence that at least one of the concerns raided was violating the fed- eral statutes by using the mails its alleged bucket shop transactions was found, it is’ said, and will be turned over to government postal au- thorities. : DYNAMITE ATTEMPT FAILS Frozen Sticks Fail to Explode; Third Titre In Few Months. For the third time within the past few months dynamiters attempted t2 wreck the Hotel Trees, owned by J. F. Trees, in Brackenridge, Pa. The fact that the dynamite was frozen and failed to explode, although the fuse and*cap both did their work, probably saved the hotel and part of that section of the borough from de- struction. Trees, the proprietor of the hotel, and his wife, were sleeping directly over a window sill upon which the dynamite bomb had been placed. Frank Thompson, a watchman, em- as the resu't of the two previous a* tempts to dynamite it, found tI bomb just a few seconds after he had seen the flickering of the fuse and heard the cap explode. The bomb fell from the window sill to the sidewalk immediately after the cap exploded. PROBE OF COAL INDUSTRY Federal Commission’s Object Is to Eliminate Evils Affecting Miners.

R. B. Dodge is a mission- ary of Maui, one of the Hawaiian group of islands. He is a most re- sourceful man in his dealings with his charges, as his part in the follow- ing incident serves to show. Recently a Japanese couple came to Mr. Dodge with a request in sign Janguage that he make them man and wife. They could not talk English un- derstandingly, and Mr. Dodge could not talk Japanese, so he conducted the ceremony as follows: “You like this wahine?” “Yes,” “Bimeby no kickout?” “No.” “You like this kane?” (To the wo man.) “Yes.” “Bimeby no kickout?” “No.” “Pule.” “Pau.” And the ceremony ended. “Wahine” is Hawaiian for woman, “kane” for man, “pule” for pray, and “pau” for enough.

Three or four minutes later when important—most cooling drinks and departed, the young man bent over the counter and asked the old man: “Now, then, what is it?” “I told my wife that I was coming out for a drink of soda,” was answer ed in a whisper. “Yes.” “She said that one drink of soda water might cause an internal explos- ion and that I would be blown to bits, Is there any danger, sir?” “Not in the least—not if you drink a whole barrel full.” “But my wife said 3 “Your wife is utterly mistaken sir.* “I thought so—I thought s0,” chue- kled the old man. “I will go home and tell her that she was mistaken. six glasses of soda water with pine apple syrup in each one of them.” With that he went out, but he did not return. IT MEANT THE SAME THING MOTHER RESCUES CHILDREN Carries Three to Safety and Suffers ‘From Severe Burns. Mrs. Fred Thompson of Deerlick, near Waynesburg, Pa., was seriously burned when she rescued her three children, Charles, an infant; Paul, a. 1 five, and Leona, seven, from flames which destroyed the Thompson residence. Mrs. Thompson was taken to the Waynesburg hospital and is said to be in a serious condition. The three children were im one room when Mrs. Thompson, at the barn, milking, saw flames shooting around the windows. She hurried to the house, found her entry to the room, where her children were im- prisoned, cut off by a wall of flame, but rushed through the flame to res- cue the children. She made a sep- arate trip for each child and on the final trip, exhausted and almost over- come by smoke, the mother staggered against a blazing wall and her cloth- ing ignited.
