{ 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.

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. .

CRUSADE BEGUN
Thirteen Offices In Western
Pennsylvania Raided
TICKER WIRES ARE GUT
8ix Offices Raided In Pittsburgh.
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:

A dispatch from Harrisburg,
stated the Dauphin county court had
granted a writ in quo warranto on
the Consolidated Stock and Produce
Exchange, eturnable March 27, re-
quiring it to show cause why its
charter should not be annulled.
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.
An inquiry into the bituminous coal
industry of the United States is about
to be undertaken by the federal trad=
commission. Officials state that the
object of the inquiry is to elimina.e
evils that adversely affect miners, tc
pave the way for laws that may b-
helpful to operations and to effect
changes that may result in benefits to
consumers.
Joseph E. Davies, chairman of the
and Commissioner W. H.
committee,
Parry have been chosen to arrange
for the inquiry and fix dates for tha
public hearings. Special attention
will be paid to the gffect of the fed-
| eral anti-trust laws on the soft coal

BRIEF BUT SUFFICIENT
The Rev. 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.

SHE WAS MISTAKEN
The other day when it was sizzling
hot and there was a rush for soda
fountains, a little old man, wearing a
long linen duster and a straw hat
that was seeing its third season, push-
ed his way thru-the crowd - in the
drug store and said to the young man
who commanded the soda fountain:
“Can I speak to. you a moment sir?®
“You will have to wait; I am very
busy just now.” ~
“But it is very
important.” \
“You will have to wait until this
crowd thins out,” answered the young
man,
“But my life may hang upon your
answer,” persisted the other.
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.

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.
HIS UNPREJUDICED OPINION
“Which side of the house do you
think the baby resembles most?®
proudly asked young Popjoy.
«Well—h'm!” answered Smith. “I
can’t see that he looks very much Uke
