"Itad" Children.
HSa^L A large amount of so-called naughtlMBH^Biess
among children may be accounted
HH^Vor upon grounds which quite exclude
^^^Hthe desirability of punishment for its
|99^Hcorrection, says a writer in the Lon^^^Hdon
Lancet. It may be due to the
HSHfact that the child has had insuf- '
IjSHBflcient sleep or is overtired after a ,
Bg^Hlong day's excitement.
HMMra Children may be restless or restive as !
the direct result of being under-tired: |
they may h*ve been contined at home !
for the whole day owing to the in- |
Hgfl clemency of the weather, and as a I
HHH consequence the only apparent outlet
H for their restrained physical energy is ;
NH found by annoying those who have :
charge of them.
K|k| There are also some cases in which (
an incipient physical or mental disor- j
M der may manifest itself by smyptoms Hjftjl

The Farmer and the Auto.
' Some years ago, soon after auto- '
mobiles began to be used throughout j
the United States, an agent for a New ;
York house turned up at a village in j
Central New York. He expatiated to j
an old farmer upon the virtues of the :
new macnine, dwelling upon what a
*' time saver it was, and withal how
fashionable it would be for the farmer
to be able to ride down to the village
on one of the new-fangled machiues J
whenever he wanted to.
"Why," said the salesman, "when- j

| at Farmer Wilson, and pretty soon ;
I you'll be the most talked of man in t
I the whole country."
I The farmer thought he needed a cow
B more than an auto, but finally agreed
jj to let the agent bring over one of his
f machines. When the agent returned j
I with it some days later the farmer |
I took him in charge and carried him out
i to the lot and showed him a fine Jersey j
I tow. |
I. "That's what I bought with the j
money I saved up for you," said the j
farmer. And without waiting for the
jr agent 10 recover from his surprise he
went on: "I 'lowed I needed the cow j
mo'n I did the machine, an' there {
*he is. Ain't she a beaut?"
Whon the agent recovered his breath :
he said:
"You'll look funny r.'ding that cow to
town, won't you?"
"Ya-as," drawled out the old farmer:

REPAIRING BRAIN.
A Certain Way By Food.
Every minister, lawyer, journalist, '
physician, author or business man is j
forced under pressure of modern conditions
to the active and sometimes i
i over-active use of the brain.
\'i Analysis of the excreta thrown out 1
by the pores shows that brain work
breaks down the phosphate of potash,
ieparating it from its heavier compau- |
ion, albumen, and plain common sense '
teaches that this elemental principle j
must be introduced into the body anew \
each day, if we would replace the loss |
and rebuild tne urain ussue.
We know that the pho?phate of pot- ;

that is the only way gvay matter in J
the brain can be built. It will not an- !

Convention Accepts Proposal of the
Anthracite Operators.
HARD COAL REGION REJOICES
Men Return to Work Under the
Old Award?Duration of Agreement
to Re Determined at Conference of '
Operators and Miners' Officials? j ,
Baer Says Mon Will Not Suffer.
'
Scranton, Pa.?There will be 110 min- i
crs' strike, and the inhabitants of the 1 <
anthracite valleys are jubilant. Soon 1
after the mine workers' convention assembled
the report of the Scale Com- ;
mittee was presented by John Mitchell 1
recommending that the men return to
1
work under the award of the Anthra-: ,
cite Strike Commission.
In urging the adoption of the report, ! 1
Mr. Mitchell said it "was better to rc- j
new the award of the commission j
than to accept the operators' restricted
plan of arbitration, under which he feared
the wage of the highest paid
men would be reduced for the purpose |
of giving it to the lowest paid men. .
"That might seem fair to the Board
of Arbitration,'' he added, "but it {
would not be fair to us. What we '
must do is to raise the lowest paid men
to the standard of the best paid. From
the information I have received from '
all parts of the region I am fearful
that our people are not in shape for a
strike.
"I know there are many among us .
who are not in sympathy Avith a strike
movement. We must retain what we
have, rather than lose what we gained ,
in the last two strikes. *
"In deciding this question, may I
ask you to do it without passion or
sentiment, but with due regard to .
what is best now. Whatever your de- '
cision, whether it be strike or whether 1
it be work, I ask you to remain to- ,
gether, accepting without reservation J
the conclusion of the majority."
Mr. Mitchell's remarks were heartily ,
applauded and there was not a dissenting
voice tp the report of the Scale ,
Committee, which is as follows:
"First?That we agree to work on the ,
basis of the award of the Anthracite
Coal Strike Commission for such period ,
of time as may be agreed, upon mutually
between the representatives of
the anthracite coal mining companies .
and our Scale Committee; provided,
that all men who suspended work on ^
April 1, or since tnat nine, or who .
have been dismissed because they
stated that they would refuse to work .
if a strike were declared, are rein- J
stated in their former positions and n
working places.
"Second?That the Scale Committee ,
proceed at once to meet the represen- ,
tatives of the coal companies with a ,
view to procuring an agreement upon 1
this basis. ,
"Third?That the convention shall re- j
main in session untiL Tuesday, and
the Scale Committee shall report to the
convention at that time.
"Fourth?That the suspension of .
work shall contin^ until an agree- ]
ment has been ma?kul its terms ap- (
proved by the coivIMtou."
This recommendation was signed by
the full Scale Committee, adopted (
mmnimnnciir hv tho convention and a
telegram sent to Mr. Baer asking for a :
conference. A favorable response was
received. - ]
A leading coal operator said: "Be
assured that there will be no discrimination
against the. men."
A telegram was received from Mr. ]
Baer to the same effect.
There is general rejoicing throughout
the anthracite region by mine ,
workers and business men over John ]
Mitchell's declaration for peace in the
mine workers' convention, and he is j
being praised for preventing the convention
from precipitating a strike
which would have been long and bitter
and caused widespread suffering.
In the opinion of many Mitchell has j
gained strength with the public by the ,
manner in which he has brought the '
crisis to such an outcome.

The result of the collapse will be a

which, it is estimated, will net the losers
there little more than two-thirds of ;
their claims. A score of smaller fire j

collided while running on the Pennsylvania
Railroad at full si>eed, eighteen
miles west of this city, at It
o'clock p. m. Ten persons were killed
und many were injured.
The collision was indirectly due to n
freight smash on the middle division
at S.24 o'clock, when twenty-seven
loaded cars of an eastbound fright
ivere wrecked at Union Furnace, about
twenty miles south of here, blocking
ill tracks.
In order to avoid detention of trains
passenger traffic was sent over the
Petersburg branch. The Pennsylvania
Special, the eighteen hour flyer, westbound,
was the first train to pass
iround and make the trip in safety.
Sro. 21, the St. Louis and Chicago Express,
was the next train to be sent
westbound over the branch. It colided
with No. IS, the Chicago Mail,
;oing in an opposite direction, on a
.ingle track, near Clover Creek Junc:ion.
Both locomotives were wrecked. Six
?ars on No. IS?five mail cars and a
:oach?were caught in the smashup.
The accident appears to have resulted
from a misunderstanding of orders
>n the part of the train crew of the
Chicago and St. Louis Express.
Physicians from Altoona, HuntingIon
and Williamsburg were sent to the
scene to render aid to the injured, who
were brought to the Altoona Hospital.

1109 Killed In Three Months.
Washington, D. C.?An almost unprecedented
number of casualties to
ailroad employes throughout the country
occurred during the last three
months of last year, according to the
iccident bulletin for that period issued
5y the Interstate Commerce Commission.
The number of persons killed in
:rain accidents during the quarter as
shown in reports made by the railroad
companies to the commission under the
Accident law was 320, and of injured
J797. Accidents of other kinds, including
those sustained by employes while i
it work and by passengers getting on j
ir off the cars, etc., bring tiie total
lumber of casualties up to 18,227?1109
dlled and 17,119 injured.
The reports deai only with passenjers
and employes on duty and take
10 account o? the hundreds killed and
naimed at crossings, etc.
There were 2077 collisions and 1043 j
lerailments, of which 207 collisions !
ind 133 derailments affected passenger j
trains. The dama/.e to cars, engines I
ind roadways by these accideuts j I
imounted to !?2,S17,294.
The Commerre Commission points
)Ut that tbn list of casualties for tbe
quarter is larger in nearly every item
than during the preceding quarter. It
ittributes this partly to the increase in
traffic, Lut largely to the fact that new
ind untried men were entrusted with
langerous duties, and that employes
if all classes were kept on duty for
many hours beyond a reasonable day.

Government Begins Action Undei |
Anti-Trust Law.
Injunction Suit Inaugurated in Indi- 1
ana by Order of AttorneyGeneral
Moody.
Washington, D. C.?Practically every ! \
person in the United States will feel a j
lively interest in the anti-trust proceed- |
ings begun by the Attorney-General, 1
under direction of the President, !
against the tripartite combination of
druggists and drug manufacturers generally
known as the Drug Trust. The
petition is filed in the United States
Circuit Court in Indiana.
This suit is one more step in the com- I
prehensive program of the Administra- |
tion to bring within the law business
men who are steadily extending monopolistic
practices to every branch of
trade.
Attorney-General Moody gave out i
this statement:
"The Government to-day filed in the
Circuit Court of the United States for
the district of Indiana a petition for an
injunction against certain associations,
corporations and individuals comprising
what is commonly known as the
Drug Trust. The parties defendant j
have combined to control the prices at
which proprietary mediciues and drugs
shall be sold to the consumer through
the retail druggists in violation of the (
Sherman Anti-Trust law. The parties (
to the combination include the Pronrie- j
tary Association of America, the National
Wholesale Druggists' Association
and the National Association of
Druggists."
The Proprietary Association, the Attorney-General
explains, is composed
of ninety per cent, of all the manufacturers
of patent medicines and proprietary
articles, the National Wholesale
Druggists' Association is composed of
nearly all the wholesale druggists, and |
the National Association of Retail j
Druggists is composed of delegates
from affiliated local associations of retail
druggists, comprising nearly all the '
retailers in the country. The officers
of the associations are made parties de- '
fendant to the suit, as well ns certain
other individuals, firms and corporations
who are members of the respective
associations.
Tne Dili cnarges tnat tuesc associa- i
tions and their members have entered ,
into a conspiracy to arbitrarily fix and
regulate the price at which such commodities
shall be sold to the consumer, I
and that they have established rules |
and regulations to enforce such an unlawful
agreement by restricting, the
purchase and sale of such commodities
to members who live up to and observe
such rules and regulations.
No retail druggist can obtain goods
from a wholesale druggist or a manufacturer
of a proprietary medicirie-unless
such retail druggist becomes a
member of the National Association,
and in order to become such member 1
he must agree to observe the estab- ,
lishcd price at which such proprietary
medicine shall be sold to the consumer.
K he cuts prices he is immediately |
placed upon the list of what is known j
ac "n<ro-rosis!v<? rn(-tArs." .md thereafter ! '
Is unable to obtain goods.
The Department of Justice now has i
under way or in contemplation suits
against at least ten monopolies, or i
classes of monopolies, and out of them i
hundreds of suits may grow. Tliey are j
as follows:
Suit to enjoin Drug Trust.
Suit to enjoin Northwestern Paper
Trust. 1
Suit to enjoin Tobacco Trust.
Suit against rebate by private cars
from Pabst Brewing Company.
Suit to enjoin Elevator Trust. 1
Suit to aholish monopoly of St. Louis
Bridge and Terminal Company. ,
Suit to punish for rebates given to
Sugar Trust.
Contemplated suits against hard and 1
soft coal combinations.
Rebate suits contemplated against
Standard Oil Company and many rail- j
roads.
Indictment of persons in Fertilizer
Trust.
It promises to be a period of great j 1
Activity, not only for the law officers t
of the Government but for the legal
profession, to whom the accused will
look for their defense. The Administration
has evidently decided that the
time for tempoi'izing is past and that
a series cf heavy blows must be delivered
