ZI FAREWELL, SHERLOCK HOLMES
: Sherlock Holmes is dead. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has again announced
that he will never revive this world-famous character.
4 But not only is he dead in fiction—the Sherlock Holmes type of detective
s now seen as doomed in fact.

Before the National Conference of Weights and Measures at ‘Washington,”|
William ‘Siuder of the Bureau of Standards, some weeks ago made predictions
may eventually take all the romance out of criminal hunting.
A He showed how the most cunning criminal of the future will be dis-
overed through super-miscroscopes that will tear his identity from a type-
itten document, a pistol ball, a cartridge shell or a signature.
The ciming cut and dried methods may take some of the thrill out of the
rccounts of the exploits of detectives on the trail. But they may eventually
reduce crime to a minimum by making discovery virtually certain.

Preaching is one thing; good business policy is another. Men find things

There is absolutely no excuse for doing wrong—for it is the poorest business

Take intoxicating drink, for instance. Over indulgance, or, for that matter,
taking it under any circumstances save under advice of a good doctor for ill-

legion.
If cheating, defrauding and falsifying were not wrong morally, it would
emain one of the worst business policies. Such as operator may apparently

County Political Appointments
With the action of Governor Fisher
in approving the recommendation of
certain county political leaders in the
appointment of Wm. Henderson of For-
ty Fort as Clerk of the Courts and
Atty. John Bonin of Hazleton as Pro-
| thonotary, it was at first thought that
| these two appointments would meet:
| with universal approval.
The appointment of Dr. Henderson
[was the recognition of Senator Sor-
| doni by State Leaders. Dr. Henderson
{is fully capable and qualified for the |
| position and his appointment by the |
Governor, on Sordoni's recommenda-
| tion, is in payment of a well deserved
[tribute to Dr. Henderson's ability. Also
as Dr. Henderson is considered a res-
(ident of Plymouth, although lately
| moving to Forty Fort, Senator Sordoni
| paid for the fine vote he received from
| Plymouth at his election three years
ago.
With the appointment of Atty. John
Bonin, considerable resentment has
been heard throughout the county, es-
pecially by the people of the greater
West Side and throughout this section.
Atty. Bonin was appointed to fill the
vacancy created by Dr. Turpin resig-
nation.
As Dr. Turpin was a resident of the
West Side it was felt that the local
state leaders would listen to reason
and appoint a West Sider to fill the
vacancy.
Atty. Bonin is a resident of Hazle-
ton and comes from one of the newer
nationalaties. At first thought his ap-
pointment was made to please the so-
called foreign element, at this writing
we do not know who was instrumen-
tal’ in his appointment but the papers
from the valley credit the appointment
to Judge Fine. X

Ralph H. Rood For Council
We just heard around the corner
that our fellow. townsman, Ralph H.
Rood will run for council. Ralph has
been one of the most active citizens
of Dallas for many years, prominent
in church work, a former school direc-
tor and is generally highly thought of.
‘We hear that Harry Garrahan and
Ralph Eipper, present members of
council will also file for the office.
Pagel A Burgess Candidate
With the announcement of some
candidates for School Director and
others for the office of council, we
still are in the dark of any real active
candidate for the position of chief
magistrate. Burgess Anderson stated
some time ago that he did not care to
run, and we do not hear much of Har-
old of late. I.et some one start the
purchased, and it will be equipped with all modern conveniences, especially | ball rolling.

Considerable surprise, and the most
favorable comment was heard about
town the last few days when it was
heard that Pr. J. C. Fleming, our
popular physician and specialist, con-
sented to allow his friends to put his
nomination papers for the office of
School Director in circulation, yester-
day.
Dr. Fleming has been prevailed upon
by many citizens of the fown to allow
the use of his name for the office of
School Director, the six year term,
and only the past week has he given
it any serious consideration. Although
at the present time the genial doctor
feels that he should not aspire for the
office, he is willing to leave the ques-
tion in the hands of his friends and
the people of Dallas borough.
A resident of Dallas for many years,
its physician after the death of Dr.
Laing, Dr. Fleming is one of the most
well thought of residents in this section.
Some few years ago Dr. Fleming gave
up general practise and specializes in
eye, ear, nose and throat treatment.
With the placing in nomination of
Dr. Fleming, it is rumored that Dir-
ector Morris and Director Space will
both aspire for the two year term, and
allpw the field in the six year term to
Dr. Fleming.

By a wrinkled old maid with la rusty

Would taste as good when I am

I wish I could laugh as heartily now
As queer Calithumpian ways.

For the joys of those long-vanished

Happines
By Bernarr Macfadden
What Is Wrong With Physical Culture?
“There is something all wrong with the idea of physical culture,” a man of
fifty said to me one day. “Why should it make the young man healthy and
strong and the older man uncomfortable and sick? If it's so fine, why isn’t
it universally beneficial? Take me, for example. Every time I eat something
that is supposed to be good for me it upsets my digestion. Tennis and swimm-=
ing are out of the question—my heart won't stand it, long walk exhausts
me. Physical culture is a young man’s game all right.” :
Many middle-aged people will agree with this man, They have experienced
the same trouble. They feel “better” when going along in the same old rut
and taking no unaccustomed exercise. Therefore “something is all wrong with
physical culture.” :
Something IS all wrong—but not with physical culture. Ignorance and. in-
difference are the real culprits. In the last fifteen years physical culture has
taken tremendous strides, but the biggest stride of all is yet to be taken. .
Tlat is the educating of people to the real meaning and purpose of physical
culture.
In its truest sense it means to begin from the moment of birth to live as we
were intended by nature to live. Eating bone and tissue building foods. Reg-
ular elimination. Sufficient rest and sleep. Wholesome play. A happy healthful
frame of mind. And a worshipful reverence of the human form—the earthly
temple of the soul during the span of life. y
Too many people think that physical culture means streunous and unpleasent
exercises, and denying oneself things that the appetite craves. They point with
pride to the high standard of athletics in our schools and colleges and call
that physical culture. To, prudes it is synonymous with immodesty and sex
But those fallacies tare gradually being destroyed.
Athletics is not the definition of physical culture; it ts merely a part of the .:
whole. In schools and colleges too much attention is paid to training chiefly
the bedies of those who are already in good physical condition by making
available to them special apparatus that is not available in everyday life, The
weaklings are shoved into the background and forgotten.
Physical culture is not a young man's game. It is not a game at all. It is
the free and glorious privilege of every imdividual of any age. The cureall for
sickness of mind and body. The preventive of disease and unhapiness, when
begun early.
It is only necessary guidepost to health and happiness on our journey
through life.
