w THE SCRANTON TJUBUJS13-THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1902. ? The News of Cab6ncf'ale IN THE PUBLIC BYE. That the Cuibondnle Metal Working rdmpuny Is going to curry on Us op erations on a broad scale and Is going to be a biff factor In the Industrial world In evidenced more and morn every day In numerous ways. Perhaps the i most convincing evidence of this Is the enterprise It has shown In securing for the heads of departments the most skilled and elllcleiit men procurable regardless of the effort It may cause to place these men on the pay roll. Following the selection of former Master Mechanic William Johnson, of the Delaware nnd Hudson company, as general manager of the company, comes the choice of Grant Nicholson, of this city, as chief machinist. Like Mr. Johnson, he Is an old Delaware and Hudson employee, bavins bad the re sponsible position of foreman of the air brake shop of this corporation. Ills v ell-founded knowledge of mechanics nd above all bis wealth of practical Mens made him a valuable man for the Delaware and Hudson, but doubly valuable to the Metal Working com pany, which Is Just In Its Infancy and needs the best of materials. Accord ingly an offer came from the new company, which Mr. Nicholson could hardly put aside and now he Is dell gently'iit 'w'ork with his ifeW duties. As Cleneral Manager Johnson has n true appreciation of Mr. .Nicholson s worth, the desired and necessary har mony exists between them from the very' start which will go a long way to wards bringing about good results. It can therefore lie safe to predict that the career or Chief Machinist Nicholson will be successful. An appointment that is being favor ably discussed among the men most Concerned Is Unit of William Hubbard, of Garfield avenue, who like Mr. Nich olson, goes from the Delaware and Hudson company to an advanced posi tion. Mr. Hubbard leaves the position of foreman of the Delaware and Hudson locomotive shop to become foreman of tbe Ontario and Western shops at May Held yard, under the new superintend ent of motive power, William H. Ken ney. lie has an expert knowledge of mechanics which has been satisfactor ily tested as an overseer under Master Mechanics Itettew, Johnson and Jtem iio of the Delaware and Hudson com pany. He has the requisites therefore, for a successful career In his new Held and there Is no doubt that time will amply justify the wisdom of his selec tion for the responsible position to which he has been called. Carbondale from the time It became u city has had abundant reason to feel liroud of the manner In which her sons have acquitted themselves abroad. It is always goods news, therefore, to learn of the good fortune of a Cnrbon dallan who saw better .opportunities awny from home, The latest news of this kind tells of the son of one of the, oldest and most respected families of Carbondale. The young man Is Frank I. Kelly, son of the late Hon. John Kelly, and In other of H. A. and Joseph Kelly, two of Calbondale's leading druggists. COULDN'T DO IT. Milk Diet Failed. Food that will actually lift one out of u Hlek bed is worth know lug of. A Chicago lady writes "I want to tell of ti positive cure Grape-Nuts Food has made in a case that was considered al most hopeless. "I know you do not buds upon Grupe 'jiuts as a medicine but. Inasmuch as the food certainly does build up worn nut systems, it seems to me It is close ly allied to a tonie. Now about the i ure. "Last Spring a dear girl friend fell ill and win taken to one of the hospital.-', but weeks before entering the hospital she had been able to take nothing but milk to nourish her, all .other foods distressed the stomach so Much Unit she tried to live on the milk alone. - The doctor In the hospital endeavored to keep her alive, with broth, and other load, but her stomach refused to re tain anything but milk, and very little of that tit n time. "I worked away at the resident phy sician until he consented to my taking lier home to see what the change would do for her. The poor ( hlu; was so very weak and nervous and so .frail that 1 felt quite dubious about the oulinme, nevertheless I knew enough about .'.rape-Nuts Food, which I Intended to ilve her. to feel that It would bring her .-ut. Affer she had rested a little while I warmed some mill; and poured it over a tablespoonful of Ornpe-Nuts and per suaded her in take It. She did so with fear and trembling, for she did not ex pect to keep the food down. After giv ing hr til" food I started to read her a story, and ultbough u was an Inter esting one, she fell. asleep, When she ilnnlly awoke her llrst words were, 'Did Jl'S'SVX keep the Grape-Nut'." "She had kept them but could scarce ly believe It. After two or three hours 1 gave her n. little more with the same good result. Gradually find cautiously 1 Incremseil the amount until after a few days she wiir able to eat a saucer full vltU no bad effects. "She lived on drape-Nuts entirely nnd galpvd strength so rapidly that Fbo soon recovered, and now recom mends CJrape-Nuts to all her friends. Rho says she would be glad to have anyone who Is Buffering rroni stomach trouble write her, and she will tell what Orape-Nuts Food has done for her, and how grateful she la to the man who Had the forethought to manufacture u food already digested so that weak stomachs, can take it. Her name Is Utile) .M., Gestabt, HH! AVnbusli Ave., Chjcagq. ''A.'! d'ergyman of our acquaintance rutH"i dish of Orape-Nuts before pre paring his sermon, 1 asked him once If ho got Inspiration from tho food. ie said, 'Not only Unit, but It seems to clear my mind and. make my 'thirdlvs' and 'fourthlys' come mum more quick ly. Just think about one's Htomoch not having to think about digesting Grape-Nuts at all, they have done the .digesting themselves, and nil we huve to do 'Is to tickle the palate by swallow Ing them.' This same gentleman as sured me that he would rather dispense, ,ev!th any article of food on the table than Grape-Nuts, t "Wo eat the food regularly with frometlmea a little fresh or canned fruit pdded, Wo call It our 'tonic' My bus fcarnl Joins In thanking you heartily jfor la manufacture.''

The greetings which Prince Heml.-, of Prussia, sent from the ocean linel by wireless telegraphy to President Rilise velt was' heard in Carbondale before they leached the president at Wash ington. This seems singular, but none tlm lessttrue. The storm which put tin wires out of service was what made It possible for the news to reach here on its way to Washington. When tho message from Prince Henry was re ceived in New York city through the New York's wireless telegraph station at Nantucket shoals, the direct line o the Postal company to Washington was out of order. One of the four lines of the company to Chicago bad to be em ployed. Carbondale Is on this line which conies up the Hudson and pass ing through this city goes through Diiu daff, following the old turnpike until the Ohio line Is reached when the Lake Shore road is followed to Chicago.

This was about 2.30 Sunday morning, President Roose velt's acknowledgment of the- prince's greetings also ticked Itself on the ma chines In the Postal ofilee In .this city. In order that these messages might go to Washington from New York and be returned, It was necessary to send thorn a distance of three thousand miles Instead of a couple of hundred, which is the length of the most direct lino between the two points. The message from Prince Henry took the roundabout route from New York to Middletown, N. Y.: Carbondale, Rlnghamton, F.lmlra, Salamanca, Olean, Jamestown, N, Y.; Corry and Mead ville. Pa.; Warren, Cleveland, Tlflln, Fostoria, Defiance, Ohio; Klkbart, AVestvlllo and Drew, Indiana; then from Chicago via St. Louis, Mo.; Mem phis.

The decline In tho surface of Great Salt Lake is causing apprehension among the people of TTtnh. Tills inter esting body of water has been steadily sinking for a number of years, but the causes of Its decline are not well under stood. It is thought by some that tbe lake Is subject to cycles of change which correspond to like cycles of years of heavy and light rainfall, and that it Is now undergoing ono of Its low-water periods from which It will soon revive, The movements in tbe waters have also been thought to be related to tbe de velopment of agricultural and grazing interests, which divert large quantities of water from the streifrns which feed tho lake for use upon the land. Dur ing past years the cutting of the timber on the neighboring mountains has been unusually heavy, practically destroy ing the forest protection ot the beud waters of a number of streams whose waters flow Into the lake. The cutting of these forests is supposed to have In jured the How of the streams and thus to have affected the hike level. Great Salt Lake Is the means of considerable resource to Ctuh and the value of property near the lake and certain lines When the young mother is allowed lo get up for her first meal, even though she takes it alone, it seems good to her to take thisouc step nearer the family circle, nnd she counts the days un til her strength will be fully restored. Hut very often strength does not come as expected, and she lingers lu Ian Utior and weakness, At such a time there is need of un invigo rating tonic, ami the very best tonic which a nursing niouier can use is in, Pierce's Favorite Prescription, It con tains no alcohol nor narcotics, It gives real strength. "Favorite Prescription" is a reliable woman's medicine. It establishes regu larity, dries weakening drains, heals in flammation and ulceration and cures female weakness.

However, for that form ot headache called frontal headache, pain back of the eyes and In forehead, the cause IB now known to bo catarrh ot tho head and throat; when tho headacho Is lo. cnted In back of head and neck It Id olten caused from catarrh ot the stom ach or liver.

I had suffered from ca tarrh, more or less for years, but never' thought It was the cause of my head aches, but finally became convinced that such was the case because the' headaches were always worse when ever I had a cold or fresh attack Of catarrh. "Stuart's Catarrh Tablets were high? ly recommended to me ns a safe and pleasant catarrh cure, and after using a few fifty-cent boxes which I pro cured from my druggists I was sur prised and delighted to find that both the catarrh and headaches had gone for good."

They contain simply the wholesome antisep tics necessary lo destroy and drive from the system the germs of catarrhal dis ease. of business nre said to be unfavorably affected by its decline.
