? 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

''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,

frometlmea a little fresh or canned fruit

CARBONDALE AND THE PRINCE
His Personal Dispatch to President
Roosevelt Heard in This City Be
fore Washington.
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. In
Middletown, N. Y., is where the mes
sage was llrst heard while in transit.
Carbondale was the second town where
the instruments clicked off Prince
Henry's greetings. 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. Tenn.; Vlcksburg, Miss,: Bir
mingham, Ala.; Augusta, Fla., and
Richmond, Vn.i to Washington, The
message from President Roosevelt had
to return by the same route.

SALT LAKE SINKING.
For a Number of Years It Has Been
Going Down.
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

A CAUSE OF HEADACHE,
Ono Vory Common Cause, Gonorally
Ovor-Looked,
Henduche Is n symptom, an Itidlcn
lion of derangement or disease In soma
organ, mid the cause ot tho headache
Is dlillcitlt to locale because so many
diseases huvo headache as a' prominent
sympioni; derangement of the stomach
and liver, heart trouble, kidney dlscns;
lung trouble, eye strain or 111 llttlng
glasses, all produce headaches, and If
we could always locate tho organ which
Is at fault the cure ot obstlnnte hcad
nehpH would bo a much simpler matter.
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.
At any rate catarrh Is the most com
nion cause of such headaches and thf
cure of tho catarrh causes a promo
disappearance of tho headaches.
There Is nt present no treatment fot
Catarrh so convenient and effective id
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, a new Inter
mil remedy lu tablet form, composed
of antiseptics like ouealyptol, gunhicc'
and blood root w'hlch act upon tlu
blood and cause the elimination of the
catarrhal poison from the system
through the natural channels.
Miss Cora Ainsley, a prominent
school teacher In one of our normal
t-iiiools, speaks of her experience with
catarrhal headaches and eulogizes Stu
art's Catarrh Tablets as u cure for
them. She says: " suffered dally
from severe frontal headache and pain
In and back or the eyes, at times so In
tensely as to incapacitate me in my
daily duties. 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."
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are sold by
druggists at fifty cents per package,
under the guarantee of tho proprietors
that they contain absolutely no co
caine (found In so many catarrh cures),
no opium (so common In cheap cough
cures), nor any harmful drug. 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. The matter is
there considered of so much Import
ance that the X'nited States geologlcil'
survey has been asked to make an In
vestigation Into it. "
