DID YOU EVER!
Think what It cost to manufacture Baking
Powder f Did you ever think how baking pow
der is sold? Did you ever think there must bo
a large profit in it somewhere? The manufac
turer of a certain baking powder pay out nearly
a million dollars or more a year advertising
their powder, trying to mako people believe it
is the best made. Their baking powder is sold
at 50c per pound. The retailer makes his profit,
the jobber makes his profit, tho manufacturer
makes his profit, and the consumer pays for all
these and tho newspaper advertising also.
What does it cost to manufacture tho powder?
Other manufacturers give away 25 or 30 cents
worth of china, glassware, toys, hardware,
books, etc., with every pound of baking pow
der. Again the query, what does it cost to
manufacture tho powder can you think it out?
You don't need to. GIrvin, Duncan & Waid
ley have a few words on tho baking powder
question. Until September 1 wo will sell Penn
sylvania Halting Powder at TEN CENTS per
pound. It doesn't concern you whether wo
make or lose on it wo want to get it Intro
duced. On and after September 1st our prico
will not exceed 15c per pound.
Wo aro not going to pay a million dollars to
advertise It; w6 are not going to give away any
premiums with it we are going to sell it, every
pound guaranteed, to our customers. If it does
not give satisfaction, bring it back and receive
your money.
Why do we say this? Wo oxpect it will pleaso
you. Why should you pay 35 or 40o proflt on
every pound of powder you buy?
Don't forget wo strive to givo our customers
tho advantage of inside prices at which we buy
all sorts of goods.

GHILDRENS' DAY
IN THEM. E, CHURCH
THE EDIFICE WAS ELABOR
ATELY DECORATED.
PLANTS AND FLOWERS ABUNDANT
Tho Pastor of tho Church Delivers
a Very Appropriate Sermon
to tho Children "To Aro
tho Light."
UNDAY was observed
as Children's day at
too Methodist Epis
copal church. The
decorations wero olab
orate yot chasto and
reflected great credit
upon tho committoo in
charge of the work. In tho background of
tho pulpit roce-s wb3 a ligbthouso to repro
sont tho light of tho world. On either side
was an anchor and n cross euiblomatic oi
the christian's hopo and its foundation,
B tweon thorn, and lurmounting a rockery,
was a beautiful pillar of roses and lilies
upon which a dove with outstretched wings
was perched bearing tho olivo branch of
peace, tjpical of reconciliation with God
and the purity which follows. Those were
supplemented with blooming planls, banks
of roses and daisies, boquets, etc., tastefully
arranged to present tho most pleasing effoct.
At tbe morning service tho pastor de
livered an appropriate sermon to tho chil
dren from tho text: ' Ye are the light of
the world." Tho lighthouse was usod as an
object lesson to enforce tho teaching of tho
hour. Light means talk. Jesus himself is
tho light of the world, and we, liko the
moon, shino in borrowed rays. In our
sphere wo are to bo miniature Christ's
moral lighthouses God's truth bearers
and life givers. Upon our dangerous
coasts are lighthouses exhibiting different
kinds of lights which are striking reminders
of dlfferont kinds of Christians. There are
singlo and double lights, white and colored,
fixed, flash and revolving so in tho chris
tian worm, mo most uselul people aro
those whoso light shines steadily. Light
ning is very vivid but it is not best for 11
lumlnating tho storm tossed traveler, it
rends the heavens and for an instant the
glory of God seems to flash through tho
rent only to mako tho darkness moro in
tense So some people shine with dazzling
splendor for a little while and then they
aro no more. Thoy may attract moro at'
tontion but thoy aro lets useful than the
humble child of God whoso light ehinos
less brilliantly but moro constantly.
In tho evening an original programmo
was well rendered in tho presence of an
overflowing assemblage. There were reci
tations by Misso3 Ilolon Prico, Emma
Gunter and Mastor Eugono Titman; a
reading by Miss Birdio Wasloy; duets by
Misses Birdie Newhouserand LuluWators,
Bella Brown and Mary Hooks, Gorlio
Wmgg and Sadie Lingbam; quartoltos by
Messrs. Hughes, Morgan, Crobaugh and
Price, and by Messrs. Pr:ca, Crobaugh and
Misses Morgan and Williams. Selections
were aHo rendered by tho different de
partments of tho Bchool and an address was
delivered by the pastor.
IN THE P. M. CHURCH.
Children's Day Was Appropriately Ob
served There Yesterday.
Children's day was appropriately ob
served in tho Primitive Methodist church
yesterday by the rendering of a service of
song entitlod, "Little Crusaders," by the
scholars, assisted by the choir. Several
recitations were given by tho scholars with
good effect and tho choir sang some very
pretty anthems. Pastor Proude gave a
short but excellent address on the important
part that, children take In life and
the necessity of training them with care.
Tho decorations were really beautitul and
consisted of a pair of Golden Gates Ajar,
revealing a splendid collection of plants in
tho back ground. On the top ot tho gates
was the toxt "Suffer tho Little Children to
Come Unto Me" and tho massive sido walls
wore represented by screens covered with
laurel leaves. In front of the gales woro
two beautiful ships, and over all was tho
motto, "Wolcomo." Sovoral canarlos
added to the music of tho ovoning. Groat
praise is due to Marshall Baugh and corps
of workers for tboir labors to mako the day
a success, and judging by tho congregation
that filled the church afternoon and ovon
ing thoy sucoedod.

CURRENT EVENTS
COMMENTED UPON
MORE OHANOES IK THE RUN
NING OF TRAINS.
THEY KEEP TO THE RIGHT NOW
Many of tho Railroad Tracks
Destroyed by tho Mahanoy
City Flood Ropalr.ed All
Trains Running.
AILKOAD changes
under the now Blad
ing system are ttill
going on. The latest
went into effect on the
lecal branch of tho
Lohigh Valley divis
ion this morning.
Heretofore all trains
of that division bo-
twoon Quakako and Grten Itldeo have
b.'on taking tho loft hand tracks, whilo tho
trains on all other branches, includine all
lines of tho Reading. Lihigh Vallov and
Jersoy Central, have takon tho right hand
tracks. The system is now uniform
throughout and all trains keep to tho right.
Under this change west bound trains take
on passengers at tho local dopot from tho
platform, whilo passongors east bound must
cros3 the tracks to get on tho trainB. Thero
was somo confusion at the depot this morn
ing on account of the unexpected change,
but tho public will become acquainted with
the reversed order of things in a day or
two.
...
All the east bound trains on the local di
vision of the Lehigh Valley road aro now
running on regular schedule time, the
tracks that were dostroy ed on the Mahanoy-
Delano branch by tho bursting of the dam
having been repaired. Tho upper tracks
are not yet in condition and consequently
all passenger, freight and coal trains run
between this town and Delano via the
Mahanoy City route.
...
A well known resident of Mahanoy City
was in town to-day and, in conversation
rolativo to tho flood, said that he thought
tho people who are speculating upon re
covering heavy damagos from tho wator
company that owns tho dam that caused
tho flood will "slip up on it." Ho com
pares tho bursting of tho Mahanoy City
dam with tho Concmaugh disastor. "In
tho Conemaugh case," said ho, "it was
shown that tho dam was not properly
built, but no ono eucceodod in recovering a
cent of damages from tho owners. Sup
poso tho other dam was not properly con
structed, what bettor claim have the Mah
anoy City pooplo to damages than tho
Conemaugh peoplo had ? Another thing,
tho peoplo who aro complaining and cry
ing out for damages aro not tho real suf
forors, Most of them aro people who do
not own even chickon coops and aro mak
log claims to satisfy a feeling of prejudice
thoy havo against tho water company."
V
Speaking about homo investors reminds
mo of tho expressions of a town gentloman
Saturday night. He said: "This brewery
boom makes mo eick. why if the ostah
lishment of such a thing is dependent upon
the establishment of public water works wo
havo plenty timo to consider over the mat
ter before we enthuse. The contracts for
water works bave not boen advertised tor
and a year must certainly elapse betwoen
tho commencement and completion of the
works, hence tho brewers who are now sup
plying the town will havo amplo oppor
tunity to arrange a prico for the beverage
that will cause the browory boomors to put
on ihoir thinking capj, I believe in home
industries and am prepared to give them all
encouragement, but thoy must have a bona
fide appearance. If these brewery peoplo
were sincere tboy could have put tbo pre
lect on foot years ago, b?foro tho Mahanoy
City pooplo thought of having a brew
ery." .
The Stato Board of Health issuos a
timely circular on precautions against
cholora Infantum. Tho circular statos con
tinued high temperature, niht and day,
appears to bo the eesontial causo ol tho
disease, It is important, therefore, first:
To keop tho child cool, and, secondly, to
koep its food (milk) cool. To accomplish
tho first object, allow the baby to drink
freely of cool (not excossively cold) water:
bathe It frequontly In cool or lukewarm
water, two or throo times a day if the
thormomoter is abovo 00, keop it in tho
open air in the shade; tako it into tho
country or out on the water as olton as
possible. Lot it wear a very thin undor
shirt, or if not this, a flannol belly-band.
To accomplish the second got pure milk.
koep as little on hand as possible and
keep It on Ico If possible. As soon as you
get it, boll it for a few minutes and thon
add a tablespoonful of lime water to every
pint. If the child is seized suddonly with
diarihoea stop Its milk at once, and feed it
on raw white of ogg, gelatine, barley water,
and meat orchicken broth; and do not give It
milk again until the diarrhoea has itopped.
If possible go awav with tho nhllil in tho
country at onco, or, if you llvo in the
country, go to the mountains. Change of
air has saved thousands of chilirons' lives
in this disease Nevor try to treat looseness
of tho bowels in a baby in hot weather
yourself, but send at onco for a doctor.
All precautious as to thu
cloaning up the houo, cellars and yards in
exoectation of cholora, are equally Im
portant as regards cholera Infantum.
