Responsibility of the Individual
By DR. SAMUEL G. DIXON
Commissioner of Health of Pennsylvania.
When we talk about a representative form of government and the
health of our people, we rarely stop to think of our individual part in the
responsibility and efficiency of our government and its every act.
We are all highly critical of the way in which our municipalities and
our state and federal departments are conducted, without a blush at our
own want of individual responsibility in governmental affairs when it ia
time to direct them as they should go.
The large majority of us, from the time we get up in the morning

Sometimes we’re apt to stand and

When a little push instead

And we would so be led
To see things as they really are

From one of shallow prejudice,
And find some work to do.
The pushing is what really counts
To help us on, my friend.
While no amount of knocking here
Will help us gain our end.

Post Office in Early Days.
How letters were mailed before
postage stamps came into existence is
shown by an exhibit of old letters that
were sent to Wisconsin towns In the
territorial days, now preserved in the
state historical museum at Madison,
according to the Milwaukee Sentinel.
The old letters had no envelopes,
but consisted of sheets folded and
sealed. The postage was 3 cents a
sheet and an extra charge was made
for an envelope. Postage was paid to
the postmaster and he marked the
letter paid.
It was possible to have an account
at the post office, for which the post-
master sent a statement every month.
The postage was based on distance
sent, as well as the number of sheets.
Although stamps made their appear
ance in 1847, some letters sent to Blue
Mounds, Ore., and Madison as late as
1854 bore no stamps, and were simply
marked paid by the postmaster.
New Kind of “Bootlegger.
A clever smuggler was recently
caught by the Bavarian police. For
two months a man had come three
times a week into a small town In
Bavaria obviously from the country,
stumping along in a wooden leg and
going always In the same direction.
This aroused the suspicion of the po
liceman, who eventually arrested him.
On examination, the police found the
man's hollow wooden leg cleverly
packed with 11 pound packets of 'love
joy, fragrant, golden-yellow butter.'
The man confessed that for three
months he had smuggled this quantity
of butter to a dozen or so households,
ignoring the butter ticket system.
Needless to say there was a dozen or
so heavy fines to pay.

“THE SHOE THAT HOLDS ITS SHAPE”
The Best Known Shoes in the World.
Fielder Jones, manager of the St.
Louis Browns, expresses the opinion
that George Staler is the best first
baseman in the American league.
Jones also declares that Sisler is in
the same class with Tyrus Cobb and
that at the end of the season the
Brown's crack first sacker will have
a batting average that will compare
favorably with the record of both
Cobb and Speaker.
Sisler played 140 games at first base

Jones' contention that Sisler’s value
to the Browns equals that of Cobb and
Speaker of the Tigers and Clevelands,
respectively, Is based on the fact that
the St. Louis star can play every po
sition on the field, except behind the
bat. Slsler is a first-class left-handed
pitcher. In fact, Jones had an idea
of using him regularly in the box until
he discovered that Boston, an experi
mental first baseman, was weak at the
bat.
Sisler has covered second, third and
short acceptably and also has done
splendid work in the outfield, but his
best position is the first corner and
he will be stationed there permanently.

SUDDEN DEATH
Caused by Disease of the
Kidneys.
The close connection which exists
between the heart and the kidneys in
well known nowadays. As soon as
kidneys are diseased, arterial tension ia
increased and the heart functions are
attacked. When the kidneys no longer
pour forth waste, uremic poisoning
occurs and the person dies, and the
cause ia often given as heart disease, or
disease of brain or lungs.
It is a good insurance against such a
risk to send 10 cents for a sample

covery of Dr. Pierce. Also send a
sample of your water. This will be

chemists at Dr. Pierce’s Invalids’ Hotel,
