WILL SPEND A MILLION IN

Pennsylvania Railroad Company Made Three Surveys Through Greenfield—Which Will Be

Used Not Known.

On account of the damage done by the spring flodds it is not known now how much work will be done by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company in the way of double tracking through Hancock county this year. Had it not been for the damage sustained by the company from the flood, no doubt many men would now be at work in the county. It is estimated that more than a million dollars will be expended by thfe company in Hancock county.

Only part of the right-of-way has been secured, and it is not know7n yet what the company will do about going through Greenfield. Three surveys have been made, one on the plan of elevating the. track, another on lowering it and bridging the streets over, and the third to allow the grade to remain very much as it is now.

It is probable that the citizens of Greenfield would much prefer that there be no change in present conditions of the grade. That

#would

disturb the 'improvements of private property less than either of the other plans. There are some very grave objections however to the double tracking on the present level grade, or the grade of the street, and that is the danger to citizens at the street crossings. As time passes the number of trains and the speed of said trains will of necessity increase. In fact, that is the reason double tracks are now7 required. Some divisions even now have four tracks, and the time will come when this division will have four tracks, and may have more trains than it now has. In such cases the number of injuries will also increase, if the present grade is maintained.

The best plan to avoid accidents and to allow7 the through trains to maintain their speed unchecked through this city, is to have the track level below the level of the streets.

Geogre Benjamin has accepted the position as forman on the Pennsylvania railroad at this place. He comes from Charlottesville. He takes the place of Eli Coon, recently pensioned. Howard Sullivan has been filling the place since Coon retired.

AND IS HAPPY MAN

Goes Deeply in Debt For Property Saves His Earnings and Has Paid Out.

John Crossley, the best humored man in town has just completed giving his house a fresh coat of paint. Some six years ago Mr. Crossley decided h.e wanted a home of his own, and after looking the real estate field over, found a piece of property on Sixth street which he thought would make a comfortable home, and he purchased it. But under financial conditions he was compelled to go in debt to the amount of something like $500. or $600. Others who bought property about the same time painted and made ^extensive improvements on their homes and hooted at John because he did not do the same, but he said it was a home he wanted and not merely to spend his money. Day by day with the earnings he carefully saved, he reduced the debt and now owns a comfortable little home where he can live happily and enjoy the pleasures of his home.

Mr. Crossley has been sweeping the streets of this city for several years, filling the vacancy made by the death of old Uncle Ben Porter, who for many years cleaned our streets. Mr. Crossley should be given credit for the cleanliness in which he keeps the streets.

Louis and William Seicrest., of Delta, Colorado, have been visiting friends in Greenfield. They formerly resided in this city. They left here about three or four years ago. After living at Indianapolis for a while, they moved to Colorado. Their sister, Lena, who formerly was an employe of the Goble Printing Company, is also located at Delta, Colo., where she went several years ago for her health. She enjoys excellent health there, and they all like the climate very much. William is connected with a dry goods firm and is an artistic window trimmer Louis is with a garage firm. The brothers are twins. They are nice boys and have many friends in Greenfield.

A FINE LECTURE -'i ON TUBERCULOSIS

Prof. Severance Burrage's Address At the Public Library Saturday Afternoon Practical and

Very Interesting.

The lecture at the Public library Saturday afternoon by Prof. Burrage was replete with facts of interest and very practail. Every person who heard it was delighted by the instructions imparted by Prof. Burrage who has been studying the subject of Tuberculosis for years. He has a national reputation as a bacteriologist, and he has moved to Irvington from Lafayette. He will have charge of the bacteriologist station of the Eli Lilly Company which is to be established in Hancock county, just west of this city. There is a possibility that he will finally locate in Greenfield.

HINTS to HOUSEKEEPERS •J. 3+ .J. •£. *2* *2* *^a aj*

So many young housekeepers pride themselves on their ability to "turn off work" after night that a warning note should be sounded. In the evening the house is quiet, the children in bed, and ther is a clear field for work, so the ambitious young women remain up until 10, 11 or even 12 o'clock, sewing, ironing, baking, cleaning and sometimes even washing after supper. The temptation is so strong, particularly when there is a fretful, peevish baby on hands, to work in the quiet hours that it is small wonder many perplexed housekeepers plan "big" jobs for after night. It is hard to stop and answer a dozen calls in a single hour, so when the children are safe in their little beds it loks so easy to hurry through the work that looms up so large in daylight.

But nature never allows her debts to go unpaid, and sooner or later what is gained at night work must be handed back in/the shape of quiet days and inactive hours. In other words, Nature never intended that anybody, not even the mother of a family of little children, should work sixteen or eighteen hours a day and then lose sleep looking after the children during the short period left for sleep. If the mother must work after night she should rest in the daytime, but this the ambitious ladies have no mind to do. They think to cheat a little by using up their energies doing double duty, but it can't be done. As well might a »aan who works hard all day try to be a watchman at night. The body must rest, and if it is not allowed time for repose some part of the machinery will wear out sooner or later.

The trouble lies in the fact that every ambitious young mother feels sure that though others have been broken jlown in health, they can not, so they proceed to waste the health, energy and strength Nature has given them for a whole lifetime in a few short years. Time and again it has happened that a woman who has worked night and day thinking she was a good wife and devoted mother, has laid down and died just when her boys and girls needed her most. She meant well, but she sapped her own vitality by night work, and when sickness came therfe was nothing on which to build. But, the mothers say, they simply can't keep things going if they do' not work after night! Well, then, things had better stop. A living mother who works all day with time for rest and recreation in short periods and then sensibly goes to bed with the family, is far better than one in a churchyard who worked herself to death from a false notion of duty.

And, besides all else, the woman who works at night can not work the next day as does the one who gets the proper amount of sleep. Fresh and vigorous the young matron arises who has gone to bed early, and the young mother should go to bed early, and she is able to accomplish almost twice, as much as her tired, dragged out sister who believes in working "when the house is quiet at night." People who burn their candles at both ends will soon find themselves with no candle to burn, and this has been demonstrated time and again. Better be a trifle slack and let some things go than to do them after night, for working night after night is one of the surest methods of furnishing undertakers with employment.
