"Honesdale people had better boll their water, In order to bo on the safe side," said County Medical In spector H. B. Ely to the newspaper men today. "All well water, spring water and city water should bo boil ed thoroughly." Dr. Ely said he had today report ed two more cases of typhoid on River street. They are: Mrs. Anna Wannacott, 3S years old, daughter of Mrs. Henrietta Walters. Mabel, eight-year-old daughter ot Abraham Palmer. "And there is a case under ob servation now on Mnin street," con tinued Dr. Ely, "which I have no doubt is typhoid. The patient has headaches and high temperature." There are now 14 typhoid cases In Honesdale. Three Water Samples Heported Had. Sixteen samples of Honesdale wa ter, taken from the ponds as well as from wells and springs used to sup ply drinking water to the borough, were sent to the state chemist to be analyzed. Reports have been re ceived by Dr. Ely on Ave samples of well water and five samples of tap water. ."Out of the 10, two wells and one tap go wrong," said Dr. Ely. "The tap Is the one located at the D. & H. depot. We have not heard yet from Cajaw, First and Bunnell's pond or from the cemetery spring or Kelsch's well. We may get some thing within a few days." Tho Vicinious well, from which the Everlings drank and from whose water Elizabeth Everllng, who died a fortnight ago, Is believed to have received her infection, was con demned this afternoon by N. B. Spencer, who has been assisting Dr. Ely and State Inspectors Irtfln and Shaughnessy In their' examinations of water and milk the past 10 or 12 days. Sensible people will take the coun ty medical Inspector's advice and commence at once to boll their en tire supply of drinking water, there by killing whatever typhoid germs exist and reducing to a minimum the chance of getting the fever. Fourteen of the 15 typhoid cases thus far reported in Honesdale aro being treated here. Edith Hartung was taken to a Scranton hospital a little more than a week ago. She is doing nicely. Dr. Ely called on Supt. McMullen of the Water company today and told him the result of the water analyses so far as he has received them. He told the superintendent that in his judgment an ounce of prevention Is a whole lot better than a pound of cure and that tho boiling of all drinking water was the safest course to pursue. Mr. McMullen agreed with him. To Prosecute- Health Hoards. Dr. Samuel G. Dixon, state health commissioner, has issued a state ment from Harrisburg to the effect that all boards of health that are not enforcing the laws of tho state in regard to their duties will be re ported to tho attorney general. It 13 believed the order of the state health commissioner may be the keynote of a crusade against the lax methods employed by many boards of health. The order is believed to have been brought about by tho re port of tho state officials now on the scene, who are said to be greatly dis satisfied with conditions in many municipalities. Laxity on the part of health offi cials has been evident for years in smaller towns and in at least one of the cities. The officials have found that in several smaller towns there aro no health boards. Dr. Dixon's order declares that these communities must immediately or ganize health boards to aid In the fight to safeguard health. The scope of the Investigation has been very broad and a marked shakeup Is expected by many to follow. It Is said it has brought to light many cases ot typhoid not reported by physicians. Fifteen members of the Skat club passed Sunday and Monday very congenially at the Skat tourna ment in Newark, N. J which is understood to have been a huge success. Most of the Honesdale Skats went to the Jersey metropolis on Erie trains from hero, but six of them Jonas Katz, Leopold Blum- enthal, Alex F. Volgt, F. W.

SUNDAY IN CHURCH LAHGH CONGREGATION IN PRKS BVTEIUAN EDIFICE HEARS COMPREHENSIVE TALKS BY JUDGE SEARLE, LAWYER GREENE AND NATIONAL VICE PRESIDENT LOVELY OF BOOT AND SHOE WORKERS UNION. The union service in the Presby terian church Sunday night had an overflowing congregation and three interesting speakers. All tho labor bodies of Honesdale went In a solid column to the church and sat In the body of the house, Sonner's full or chestra playing "Onward, Christian Soldiers" as they entered and un til the last man was seated. Dr. Swift said he did not feel It was necessary for him to tell these men they were welcome. Ho said tlie "men "who worlc' are"" the" hack bone of any community. He then introduced Judge Alonzo T. Searle. The judge talked about 15 minu tes on the dignity of work. He said the shiftless and Idle man is a nuisance and a drag on the com munity, and that tho boy or girl who never has known what it is to work for a living Is in no way fitted to be the useful man or woman of to morrow. He urged the need of am bition, enthuslam, energy, punctu ality and patience as forces that enable a man to work to the best advantage. Homer Greene, the next speaker, talked entertainingly of the strength the worklngmen may exert for clean politics. He told them that they have the power to send the right men to Washington to make laws for the nation and to Harrisburg to make laws for the state, and they have the power, too, to de mand the enforcement of good laws and the repeal of bad laws. He said the subject of temperance was a subject on dangerous ground, but that tho habit of getting drunk wns a harmful practice for work lngmen and everybody else. He also said the workingman ought to know how ho stands with reference to the church, for the church is the force for good In the commun Ity and the champion of pure and wholesome, ideals in living. Mr Greene denied that the church is fdr the rich man and that church people look down on the poor and humble. The last and longest talker was Vice-president Thomas P. Lovely of tho National Boot and Shoe Work ers' union, who is a ready and forcible speaKfer and a man with considerable humor. He defended unions on tho ground that their members have to buy everything food, clothes, fuel, transportation and even professional services from men who are organized them selves. He, said the doctors have a fee table that is practically a scale, and so have tho lawyers. The doc tors charge more for work at night, and that is overtime. (Laughter.) Mr. Lovely told how worklngmen have been forced to organize to de fend themselves, and he declared a man who gets ?2 a day never will be a $2,50 a day customer. The big shoe strike in Marlboro, Mass., be said resulted In the destruction of the union, but the business of Marlboro, up to the strike time a fine, busy city of 1C.000, was de stroyed with It. He spent considerable time on the contempt cases of Samuel Gomp ers, John Mitchell and Frank Mor rlBon, the American Federation of ficers sentenced to Jail by Judge Wright of the District ot Columbia for printing the names of the Bucks- (Continued on Page Eight).

Herr has returned from an Inspec tion of orchards in Luzerne, Lacka wanna, Wyoming, Sullivan and Wayne counties, and reported the appearance in that section of two of the worst known apple tree pests, the seed chalcis and the leaf blister mite. Vigorous efforts will be made by the state authorities to eradicate the pests. Horticultural Inspector W. H. Bullock at his home In Dyberry Sunday said this report is erroneous so far as It touches Wayne county, for Mr. Herr has not yet been in Wayne. "He may be coming," said Mr. Bullock, "but he wouldn't go through here without my knowing it." He could not say Just when Mr. Herr is due in Wayne.

C. Schaeffer, superintendent of the state department of public instruction. The new course, which is optional with the schools, but is highly recommended by the department, is as follows: Agriculture, arithmetic, civics, drawing, English, geogra- phy, history, manual arts, moral education, physiology and hygiene, pictures. J he department recommends agriculture not only for the rural schools, but especially for the city children, who are declared to be ignorant of the phases of life on the farm which were familiar to their fathers. Atrricultum is rh- clared to be the fundamental industry of America, and it is asserted that a wider knowledge of its essentials would in- crease the trend of population toward the independent life of the country and increase the production by improved methods so as to reduce the cost of living to the people generally. Among the reasons assigned for the new departure of a course in agriculture in the elementary public schools of Pennsylvania, the department of public instruction has this to say: "The importance of this new subject is no longer disputed. It is needed in the rural school to arouse and retain an in- terest in the home environment, and to render a service in perfecting and making more common the methods now known and used by the few, and it is nccdssary to enlist an army of recruits in' the most fundamental industry in Am- erica. High cost of living can be jjeduqe'd by a'niorje inten- sive production and by the removal from the dependent town and city life to the more independent and self-sup- porting country life of many who1' areunfamiliar Vitj) its opportunities.

Labor day was all right weather wise. The sun at midday got up to 87, but It was fairly cool on the hill and the crowds thnt thronged Belle vue park didn't growl. The park was full of strollers and dancers and general pleasureseekers from noon to midnight, when the dancing, for which Sonner's orchestra played, came to an end. The parade started at 10.45. There were probably 700 men in line. Tho Flint Glassworkers turn ed out 400 In white caps and Ameri can flags, and the Shoemakers, who have 94 now in town, hau '90 men i In line. The American Federation I of Labor had 60. The floats were beautiful and unique in design and elicited a great deal of praise for their designers. The glass float carried a miniature glass shop, and Bert Daln, Sr., was "the man behind the frame." On the Shoemakers' float, which had the sign io more tuuwu iuuuy in hold red letters, there was a realls - tic cell with the convict peering through the bars. Louis Myers was the prisoner and Frank Ashby was the guard. Mr. Cooney was the very capable clown. The Federation float did good servlco by transporting the three oldest members Michael Weaver, John Fisher and Tom Whlt taker. The boys on board were Early Steinberg, Harry Mang, Ed. Mang, Francis HessIIng, Joe Hess Hng, Ed, Schtnuck and John Shields.
