Norrlstown, December 18, 1901
We are all Christmas crazy over this
way and the town for the past several
days has been the land of the sweet
ouy and buy. In the early part of the
holiday shopping season, the smallpox
scare kept hundreds of country folks
away. The threatened epidemic hav-ing
been successfully conquered, shop-ping
has been congested into the last
five days before the great Christian
festival. Our smallpox scare is over
and half the patients in the Municipal
Hospital have been discharged, cured.
The remainder are convalescing. Some
of them will he discharged In tim. ,,,

nomes and all will be sure to be happy

The rush of shopping and gratitude
over the deliverance from a threatened
epidemic have drowned aught else from
the public mind. Politics has taken
an awful slump. The only thing in
the nature of a pleasant digression |„
the way of politics was a visit here on
Saturday of Consul to liawson. Henry
D. Saylor. He was as pleasant and
buoyant as ever. He reads all the crit-icisms
on his official career with good
grace considering them as a part of an
active strenuous public life. He (8

these until Saturday I was Ignorant of

Years ago. before he came into the pub-lic
eye. 1 heard him talk Pennsylvania
Dutch with ease and fluency. I re-marked
to him at one time when he
was acting as interpreter "all yon
Pottstowners talk Dutch." What was
my surprise when he told me he had
never learned the language until he left
school and only took It up as help to
afd him In his father's store when he
was clerking.

Igents. This feat following close upon
his acting as an Interpreter when he
was a young lawyer. I congratulated
him upon his accomplishments, at the
time. He laughed the matter off by
saying "I only take these thingslip in

the appreciation of a man who has
energy and a purpose In life and has
the greatest power of all—ability to

FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS.

company may operate the Con-shohocken
lines as far as they are
within the borough limits.
The Roxborough, Chestnut Hill and
Norristown Company under Its agree-ment
with the Schuylkill Valley Trac-tion
Company Is not operating its cars
within the Borough of Conshohocken.
The undisputed evidence Is that the
cars are under the control and man-agement
of the Traction Company, and
they run on the Traction Company's
line. The name of the car Is Immater-ial
so long as the fact remains that It Is
operated by the Traction Company's

that the Roxboroegb Company oper-ates
a road In Conoahohocken borough.
A Reading Railway car may be carried

Railroad, hut In such passage It 1B not
operated by the Reading Company.
"And now. December 2.1rd., 1901 the
bill now will be dismissed If the Con-shohocken
Railway or Its leases will
within forty five days from the date of
tiling of this opinion erect the guard
wires provided for In the ordlnan.II of
January 10. 1894. otherwise an Injunc-tion
will be awarded as prayed for In
the first prayer of the bill."

HER COLLAR AIDS THE DOCTOR
"Yes, I know. Another cold," said
the doctor. "I do not know what med-ical
men would do if it were not for
you women."
And he turned to the creature of furs
and wraps, smiled one of his apprec-iative
smiles and continued:
"Remove your boa. please. Do you
realize that the high collars that wom-en
wear around their necks are respon-sible
for nearly all the colds that your
sex gets? It Is so.
"Winter and summer alike you will
insist upon wrapping up your delicate
necks in high silk, velvet, linen, or
chiffon covering. If It be not this, why
It is a yard or more of ribbon tightly
drawn about the neck and naturally
the neck gets tender and over sensi-
..ve from the fancy bandages and
swathing that are forever about It
With the first draught there la o
cough.
"My advice to you as friend and phy-sician
Is to go straight home and win-.
you cure this cold throw away your
ribbons and other neck traps. Leavi
the neck bare. Never mind what the
other woman does.
"You will find your health much im
proved If you give your neck a chan.
to get acquainted with the natural or-der
of things. My advice docs not ap-ply
to you alone.
"It Is Intended for all women Who
wear chokey neck stuff and endanger
their health by forever catching cold.
You may not like my frankness now
but If you follow my advice you will
bless me Inside six months and your
coida will be few and far between
the bargain."
Beef Is not regarded as fresh unless
the lean when freshly cut Is bright red,
easily compressed, elastic and of fine
grain. The fat must be yellowish
white and firm. If the lean is coarse,
tough, elastic and of a dull purplish
color, the fat scanty, yellow and moist,
beef Is looked upon with suspicion.
The same tests apply to mutton, ex-cept
that In good mutton the fat is
white and not yellowish. In unwhole-some
mutton the fat Is decidedly yel-low.
