James Resh at one time pastor on the Muncy Valley Charge, has just recovered from an operation at the Koser sanitarium at Williamsport. When the new high school build ing at Honestowti is completed, that village will he able to huast of one of the finest school buildings ill the county. The Tunkhannock Republican says: In the absense of Judge Ter ry at the Jamestown exposition this week we may remark that thus far in his judicial career thirteen of his decisions have been appealed from, but in all cases but one his judgment has been nfllrined by the higher courts. In that particular instance he followed what appeared to be a precedent lrom the Supreme court, and taking it as a guide other Com mon Pleas judges have ruled the same in similar cases. That is a rec ord of which no man need beasham ed. Rev. Charles Bikle, a Lutheran minister of Williamsport, before election wrote •• letter to each of the candidates for District Attorney «.f Lycoming county,Ja>king them what they would do, if elected, to prevent street walking and corner loafing. Me received answers to both letters and read them from the pulpit. Both candidates promised to all in their power to suppress the ob scene postcard evil, but in the mat ter of corner loafing and street walk ing they had no power to act. Other District Attorneys might do well to follow their example and try to put an end to the sale of postcards of such ch trader that are unfit to be displayed or to pass through the mails. Recent demands for heavy bounty payments in a number of counties have given ii,-e to the suspicion that hunters have not entirely forgotten the practices that prevailed under the old bounty law of lXHfi. In a number of instances payments for suspicious heads have been refused by county commissioners. It mav be worth remembering that when a splinter is driven det p into the hand it can be extracted by steam. Nearly fill a wide mouthed bottle with very hot water, place the injured part over the mouth and press it slightly. The suction thus produced will draw the flesh down and in a minute or two the steam will extract the splinter ami infla matiou together.

John Wootrier of Potter county, recently received a personal letter ,in which it was stated that there ! was a large quantity of the best. | grade of granulated sugar to be J found at 2] cent* per pound pro viding that the purchase was made in ton lots and also that payment, be made in advance The name signed to the offer was that of \V. Q. Wagner of Cumberland Md. Mr. llloomer thought he had a rare opportunity to make money so he mailed a check foi a ton shipment, in a week he had heart! nothing of the order and he wrote to Mr. Wagner. HP received a letter in which j the writer stated that ho was surprised to learn that the sugar had not been delivered ami that be would send a tracer after the lost car. lie also stated that he still had one ton lef , and if Mr. Hloomer wanted il he would ship it at once upon receipt of the necessary amount. The farmer still believed in the offer, and sent the money for the second lot. Nothing lias been heard of Wagner since. Mistaking a bear for a coon, John Creveliug of Columbia County climbed a tree Monday night with the full expectation of capturing his trophy, but changed his mind when he realized what he was up against. With several other young men Creveliug went coon hunting along Kitchen's Creek. Seeing tin animal which he t<iok for a coon el imbed up a tree, he volunteered to capture it and had almost placed* his hand upon it when he realized his mistake, lit! quickly defended, followed by the bear, but managed to reach his gun and kill the animal. The bear was a young one and weighed about 125 pounds. Isn't it queer how a whole nation can be the victim of a fad? Consider the craze for breakfast foods which held all the I'nited States in its clutches not so very long ago. Was there a town, a hamlet in the most remote section of this country that didn't have the advantages of pat ent breakfast foods thrust upon itj until in their liewildermeut, in be-j came added to the number of hyp notized places. Thousands of peo ple seriously consumed enormous j quantities of breakfast foods and j considered themselves greatly im- , proved in health, when probably they weren't getting one extra iota j of nourishment, except with the j milk or cream used with most vari-! eties. Yet they would loudly extol 1 | the remarkable points of their par- j tit ular breakfast footl and not know that they were affording a spectacle | for sardonic amusement. You used j a breakfast food because everybody else did, being suddenly convinced that it was what your system had crav.nl for counties-! years. You didn't realize that clever advertis ing had created a false appetite for this type of food, and that you were an "easy mark." Count over the list of breakfast foods and consider how many have stood the test of time. Only the few that genuinely contained nourishment. All the rest simply put money into the pockets of some clever men. When you "woke up" their products disappear ed from the counter, because the de mand ceased. Fruit or some stand ard cereal, such as hominy, rice or oatmeal, is as good a breakfast foun dation as can be found, without hav ing recourse to stuff resembling saw dust or shavings. Don't rush head long into fadish diets. Your stom ach will stand a certain amount of hartl usage, but it won't last forever so don't maltreat it. Kentucky, following the example of her progressive sister states of the north, has organized a grange with the charter list composed largely of the faculty and students of Its ag cultural college at Lexington. The ex periment station corps of experts Is also represented In the charter list of seventy-five. Grange visiting Is very popular among granges that are of easy access one to another. The visiting grunge goes prepared to furnish the literary programme, while the entertaining grange furnishes the refreshment fea j 'tires. I The most Important person to pro- I mote and perfect grange organization 1 Is a.thoroughly equipped and progress- I ive deputy. | . j There is a possibility that the na tional grange will meet In Buffalo In 1908. But Ohio may claim the honor. ADVEKTITKMENT. COM MISSI ON ERS' SA LE OF UK SKATED AND SEATED LANDS.

Tbere Is nothing that women camot do, but the work must be planned With a thoroughness that precludes failure and done with a modesty which la the Inherent charm of the superior sex, says the Woman's Home Companion. As 1 said, every community has Its 1 own problem. Most of these originate outside of the home. Pure water, pure food, pure air. clean streets, sanitary schools and tenements, district nurs ing, the education of the Ignorant In the care of babies, the question of pau pers, the public baths and traveling li braries, the trcatmeut of our women prisouers in prison and after, the lodg ing house problem—these are only a few of the civic puzzles crying for trained women to solve. A woman does probably her greatest share of her duty as a citizen when she makes a home a aafe and happy harbor of refuge from a stormy world, when she brings up her children Into noble manhood and womanhood and when she does uot destroy her husband and family by bad cooking and bad temper, but that same woman crowua her career us a citizen when she In terests herself In and becomes a vital part of some problem of government. A woman successful In home life la desperately needed in civic life.
