GOOD KVUNlXGt (In Tlio City). When we left our hotel after a "bang-up" brenUfiist, to go down to business, Tuesday morning, the tlicrinonicter registered forty de grees above zero. Wo passed scores of men and women, on the street, hurrying to their places of employ ment, with tho "fear" look on their faces. . . "Tho Seelyvlllo Kxprcss," with her engine pufllng and blowing llko a porpoise, was just pulling out of tho Union Station. There was a weird, uncanny feeling in tho air. Lights vero few and far between, and it was dark as pitch. "When you look at his appear ance," remarked n friend to us yes terday, in describing tho personal appearance of a prominent citizen. "You'd think ho was a rough 'buck.' But he's a gentleman everyway." Just another way of saying that "beauty is only skin deep," and that "handsome is, as handsome docs," wasn't it? Sleet me at the Lecture in tho High School to-night, Neighbor! GOOD JIOHNING! (On Tho Farm). "You've got everything now for your trip to Ucrmudn, Mary, haven't you?" Inquired her mother tho morning after her return from Honesdale, where her daughter had purchased a set of mink furs. "Oh dear No, Mother," said Mary. "I need1 a suit tho worst way." "What are they wearing now?" "Everything is very, very plain. "Hip" coats nro fashionable. Every thing is dark; no light colors. Illnck velvet is very stylish. Tho waist is very long, to make you appear very long and slender. "Long lines" they call tho effect. Tho skirts arc made very narrow; semi-lioliblo effect; that's tho very latest. Everything is strictly tailor-made; no trimming. I want to get a Persian wulst, Gib son effect, you know what' that Is; one-piece wulst; and I want a Per sian belt to match." "3Iy, hut you know all about tho fashions. I guess when you go to llcrmiula the other girls won't bo ablo to hold a candle with you," said her mother admiringly. "Oh, Mather! AVcll, Pa said he'd get mc a suit next week, when Silas Snodgrass pays him tho Interest on his mortgage. They make altera tions free of charge In Honcsdule, too. Hut I must write a letter to Jack Itundolph, now. lie's going to take mc to a dance to-night." "FRIDAY THE THIRTEENTH." Once again tho fatal combination of the thirteenth month, the thir teenth day, and Friday, occurs. 15y millions of people the advent of this duy is dreaded. And there is abund ant reason for the superstitious fears entertained on this score. Terrible events have taken place on Friday. On Friday Jesus, the Jinn of Galilee, tho only perfect man that ever lived, and whose teachings have turned the world up side down, was crucified. "Muck Friday" in Wall street will never ho forgotten. Tom Lnwson has iniiportiilized the panic that shook the country's financial strong hold from centre to circumference on "Friday Tho Thirteenth," some years ago. Capitalists hewiiro of engaging In uny new enterprise on tlint day! Sick folks, and well, ho especially careful of your health on this inau spicious Friday! Saint and sinner do not full to "go to church" on tho morrow! Employees bo faithful in tho performance, of your duties, lest somo slight infraction of the rules may neiid you shivering, out in the cold, cold street! Beware of Friday Tho Thirteenth! Governor-elect Tener has tho good wishes of tho people of this State, regardless of party ulllllatlous. Tho murderous attacks on his integrity, in tho recent political campaign, by tho "yellow press" and "yellow clergy," have only served to increase tho confidence and respect in which ho is held by all right-minded in dividuals. "If you see it in THE CITIZEN you know it's so." Tho people's favorite semi-weekly with its largo and efficient corps of staff correspond ents, located in Washington, ). C., Harrlsburg, New York, and nil parts of Wuyno county, is abundantly equipped to give its readers ull tho news, and give it to them first.

Tlicro's going to be the timo of your life In Wayne county politics this year over the county otlices. liOST: One Keystone Party. He ward offered for safo return, to headquarters in Philadelphia, in time for uso in the Fall primaries. Crime seem to be increasing in Wayne County. Even tho "Presi dent's English" Is being murdered by somo of our esteemed contempor aries. It remnincd for tho "Gideons," an association of Christian drummers, to arrange to put 0,000 lllblcs In the hotel bedrooms of "Christless" Chi cago. Score one for the morality of tho traveling men. The citizen, whether living along tho lloulevnrd, or in Park Row, or on tho Numbered streets, who waits patiently for ice from his pavement, never falls to growl when It rains. Hut who can expect such citizens to be consistent? Dear Reader, wo aro willing to make an honest confession. We've already broken all our New Year's resolutions hut one, and that one is, that we'll make no aeroplane (lights this year. Wo have fallen from grace, almost entirely, but this one thing wo won't do! Thero is no doubt whatever that the people of Pennsylvania general ly have great conlldcnco in tho sin cerity of tho new Chief Executive. His promise that ho will give a busi ness administration, governing more from tho standpoint of practical utility, than from that of theoretical experiment, will not bo unpleasant to tho average voter. Economy, if carried into honest and actual effect, will go a great ways towards lightening tho burdens of tho people. LESS ADULTERATION OF FOOD SHOWN. Commissioner Foust Reports Ter mination of 0121 State Prosecu tions in Year. Harrlsburg, Pa. The work of tho State Dairy and Food Bureau for the calendar year 1910 has in some re spects been unprecedented in volume, according to Commissioner Foust. .The special agents purchased and the chemists analyzed during the year 5594 samples, Including 1848 milks, 13G1 general foods, 938 butters, 499 creams, 288 Ice creams, 283 oleomar garine, 278 non-alcoholic drinks and 99 samples of other classes. Prosecution for adulteration, mis branding, departure below standard and other Infractions of food laws were terminated In G21 cases, affect ing almost 70 kinds of food and non alcoholic drinks. Of these 231 were oleomargarine cases, 70 milk cases and G2 Ice cream cases. Among the less frequent, but highly interesting classes of cases, were those for the sale of rotten eggs, of cakes and crackers adul terated with boric acid, marshmal low confections, adulterated with sulphurous acid, sausage containing added starch .and water, pie filler with artificial color Imitating that of fruit, decomposed potatoes and wormy chestnuts. The commissioner adds that the lines and costs imposed by the courts In these cases amounted to $30,405.84, of which those for the violation of the oleomargarine law amounted to $15,450.92, or almost one-half. Tho total receipts of the uureau for the year, Including $79, G97.ll derived from oleomorgarino licen ses, amounted to $110,802.95, tho disbursements to S79,GG1.G5, leav ing a balance of $31,141.30 excess of receipts over expenditures. Tho public will, the commissioner believes, be gratified that the work of the year has been accomplished without any addition to tho tax bur den. It is, he says, more Important, however, that the annual record shall exhibit progressive decrease In the adulteration and misbranding I of the foods and beverages sold In the state. It Is a matter of congratulation for all concerned that In the case of many of tho chief food staples tho record marks a distinct decrease In these nefarious practices. SENATOR HUFFMAN HONORED. Will Assist in Arranging for tho In auguration of Governor-Elect Teuer Only Two Demo crats Chosen, Stroudsburg, Pa., January 9. Hon. Harvey Huffman, the State Senator from this district, was given a high honor tho first day of his entrance Into that body of lawmak ers, by being chosen one of the mem bers of the special committee that will have charge of tho arrange ments for tho inauguration of Governor-elect Tener. Tho appointment was made by President Crowe, of the Senate. The Senate committee is composed of seven members, two of whom are Democrats, Mr. Huffman and Sena tor Morgan, of Northampton. The many friends of the local Senator will take great pride In the fact that he has been singled out for tho honor. Mr. Huffman arrived home on Tuesday evening, the Legislature having taken a recess for the ap pointment of committees, etc. Hon. Eugene Kinney, tho Repre sentative from this county In tho House, had the honor of naming tho Democratic candidate for Speaker of the House. Have the CITIZEN sent to your home. Merccrsburs, Jan. 9. On Satur day was the seventy-fifth meeting of the Allen and East Pennsboro's So ciety For the Recovery of Stolen Horses and Mules and the Detection ' of Thieves. I This society was organized Octo I ber 22, 183G, dnd chartered Novem ber 14, 1870. i To Dr. J. F. Stadizer belongs the I credit of bringing together a num ! ber of the citizens of Allen and East Pennsboro's townships at tho public house of Frederick Kuster in Shlre- manstown on September 24, 1830. The stealing of horses having be--come frequent, and the ordinary pro tection found insufficient the com munity, Impressed with these facts met to form an association for the mutual defense and assistance. Daniel Sherban was appointed president and Levi Merkel, secretary of this meeting. A committee was appointed to draft a constitution and by-laws. On motion of Jacob Itupp, the organi zation was called The Allen ' and East Pennsboro's Township Society For tho Recovery of Stolen Horses and Detection of Thieves. This title has never been changed, except by leaving off tho word "township" and insertion of the word "mules" after horses. The first constitution had eighteen articles. The present one has' nine. The first president was William R. Gorgas. Tho financial part of this society is one of its most interesting feat ures. Until 1842 tho balance In the treasury was $299.80, In 1845, it was ?380; in 1855, JGG5.31; in 1865, ?1,097; in 1875, $2,388, and 1885, $2,987.94; 1908, $4,077.3C; in 1909, $4,248.29, and December 31, 1910, $4,253.14. During the last twenty-five years there have been few horses and mules stolen, and nearly all of them have been recovered, and the thieves convicted. The prompt and efficient efforts of the society In the appre hension and conviction of these criminals have taught them that Its territory Is dangerous ground for them to enter upon. LAXITY IN MORALS. Non-Catholic University Life De clared to bo Had. At a meeting of the western sec tion of the Northern Illinois. Teach ers' Association Dr. G. Stanley Hpll, president of Clark University, Massa chusetts, made the following state ment: "Reports from thirty of our oldest colleges indicate that the moral con ditions of the students in most ,of our universities is Indescribable. This condition exists more in ' the East than through this section." This is a fair arraignment of the sort of education given to thousands of young Americans. Instruction of the mind Is the end and all of non Catholtc colleges. The heart and soul aro rarely considered. Coming as the statement does from suqh 'an educator as Doctor Hall, It merits strong attention. There has always been more or less reason to believe that the life led by young men in the secular uni versities has not squared with Chris tian conduct. Removed from the restraining influences of home and answerable to the college authori ties for their conduct only during recitation time, It Is little wonder that young fellows find fertile op portunities to sow wild oats. And when wo take Into consideration that most of the youth who attend non Catholic colleges and universities have no settled form of religious be lief, tho wonder Is that any of them escape a life of license. The Catholic boy, therefore, who Is thrown into such an atmosphere cannot escape Its vitiating odor. Ills character must bo pretty strong ly developed, his moral sense the finest and his will power the firmest If ho would go through four years of college life In a non-Catholic in stitution and preserve his morals un tainted. Is It fair to ask young men, raw and untried, to become para gons of virtue as soon as they leave tho high school? Can wo blame them If they go far astray when col lego officials disclaim responsibility for their conduct? If Dector Hall had asked for re ports from any number of our Cath olic colleges, he would have receiv ed replies that would have delighted his heart. Not that all boys In Cath olic colleges are angels, nor that the Catholic colleges can make over and turn into saints young fellows who had been allowed at homo to act pretty much as they please; but the example of what religion does for men, as exemplified in the lives of their professors and tho constant urging to better things which Is poured out In tho Christian doctrine classes and from tho pulpit must touch a young fellow's moral sense and direct It right. Add to this tho disciplinary regulations enforced In all our Catholic colleges, rules which aro founded on tho right govern ment of tho young men In their own homes, and you have an Ideal code for conduct In youth to bo found In every Catholic college In the land. At tho University of Notre Dame, for Instance, there Is a rule which pro hibits the introduction of lnfoxicat-. Ing liquors on the grounds. Any student who Is detected using liquor Is subject to expulsion. In order the fetter to safeguard the young men at Notro Dame, tho university offi cials havo an advertisement which runs the year round In the papers of South Bend, where dealers aro warn ed that they will be prosecuted and punished to tho full extent of the law If they are known to sell Intox icants to any boy at Notre Dame; and ithls warning Is rigidly lived up to. 1 It would bo interesting to learn how many of our non-Catholic col legos would place about their stu dents similar safeguards. If they should do so, tho rowdyism in col leges that we read so much about In the newspapers would ho at an end. The Catholic colleges guarantee ' to stand In plac'o of the parent; the non-Catholic colleges make no such guarantee "HOOK" FARMERS BETTER PRODUCERS. Beiics Couiitlnn Declares Coming Generation Will Recogni.o Scientific Agriculturists. Reading, Pa. Tho annual meet ing of the Berks County Agricul tural Society was held hero last Saturday, when -James McGowen, the president, made his annual ad dross to tho society. Ho declared that tho prosperity of tho country depends upon tho annunl county fairs. Ho said in part: "A word of encouragment that Includes something more than the counting of bushels and acres, Is In the report that a larger number of young men each year are choosing farming for their life occupation. Tho agricultural colleges are extend ing their facilities to accom modate increased attendance. "This means that the posi tion of tho farmer as a business man Is being established, and his sons, Instead of hurrying to tho city to seek other oc cupations, are realizing that thero Is a Hold for their best endeavor on tho old home stead, though that term has al most passed away. Tho com ing generation will bo a sur prise to those of the old school. You will hear the man In overalls, mllkpall or pitchfork In hand, talking clear English of ' 'balanced nutrition,' 'econ omy of production,' 'scientific breeding,' and 'specialized farming,' in all Its forms. "He will discuss tho quality of soil ingredients and moral ize on the benefit of crop rota tion. He has learned farming from books, but the fact that he Is ablo to produce more bushels to the acre and more profit from tho year's work Is earning him respect." IN LITTLE OLD NEW YORK! New Year's Crowds Make Life Worth Living On Tho Great White Way Theatres Crowded Fierce Weather Conditions Fall To Dampen Ardor Of Celebrants Joy AVns Unconllncd AVoolworth's New Store. A happy and prosperous New Year to all the readers of THE citizen; The Old Year went out beautifully as far aB the weather. New Year's eve was concerned. Saturday afternoon was one of revelry. All who were at liberty were out for some kind of amuse ment. Every theatre was crowded and an hour before performances be. gan, no seats were to be had. The writer saw "Naughty Marrltta" and would say It's a pretty play, with good music. At five o'clock around Times Square, tho crowd coming from the theatres added to the usual ,New York crowd at that time of day, was so great that It was Impossible to pas3 on the sidewalk. Later the crowd was greater, but tho police then Insisted on the people going down town keeping to ono side, and tho people going up town, staying on the opposite side. Tho noise was dis tracting. You could not hear the voice of the person at your side, but It was all In good humor, while wine and champagne llowed like water in the many crowded restaurants and cafe. On the street, there was no signs of intoxication. Though bus! ness men insist times are hard and money senrce and every one Is com plaining of high prices, all was for gotten for a few hours, while merri ment hol'd sway. When the chimes at Trinity rang out the old and rang in the new, thousands held high the glass, while ono toast after another was given. Perhaps the New Year Is In sympathy with the hundreds who aro sorrowing and suffering, for wo have come to bollevo as story of ono llfo after another has come to us, that nine out of ten lives in this city aro a living tragedy. And so maybe, after the hilarity of tho holidays has worn off, and ono after another sums up the cost of the pleasure, given and gained, that when all the facts are looked at In the clear day light, Instead of the glare of "Tho Great Whito Way," there is weeping and truly tho ele ments are In sympathy, for It has rained since Sunday, and on New Year's Monday the fog was so dense you could not see the building next, and many a captain said it was tho worst they ever experienced. Sever al ferries wore discontinued, .and many ships were held up for several hours. To those Interested In business propositions wo would stnto that Woolworth, of 5 and 10-cent store fame, Is soon to build tho highest building in New York. Mr. AVool worth has now over two hundred stores, all prosperous. We under stand that these stores pay fair sal aries, and remember their help In a substantial way at Christmas time. LOVELY COMPLEXION A CLEAR SKIN AND BRIGHT EYES ARE EASY TO GET. All tho beauty creams in creation won't Improve your complexion if your stomach Is out of order. Bejchlng of gas and heartburn mean bad food In tho stomach. Bad food means bad blood and bad blood means a bad complexion. Try MI-O-NA stomach tablets for stomach misery, biliousness, dizziness and Indigestion. They relieve In a few minutes; they make rich, red blood. They are guaranteed by G. V. Pell to cure or money back. Read what a Kansas woman says: , "I had been doctoring a year for stomach trouble and found nothing that did as much good ns MI-O-NA. I only have the second box and they havo relieved all pain In my stom ach. For stomach trouble or Indi gestion MI-O-NA can't be beaten. MI-O-NA has done a world of good for mo when doctors failed." Mrs. Cordelia B. Mann, 207 E. 11th St., Junction City, Kans. MI-O-NA stomach tablets aro sold by druggists everywhere nnd by G. AV. Pell for 50 cents a largo box.

It Is said that the election law commission has prepared live bills for submission to the legslalors, although but two have been prepared. Specific recommendations, it is said on good authority, will bo made In favor of the "Massachusetts bal lot," or one resembling It as closely as practicable in this State. This form of voting is described as akin in Its simplicity to tho old "vest pocket" system, wth safeguards sur rounding it that were absent from tho old form. The abolition of personal regis tration in cities of the third class and the return to the assessment of voters which prevailed thero prior to tho enactment of the present law are also said to be contemplated In the recommendations for the revised code. A uniform ballot for all tho coun ties is recognized as difficult of ac complishment on account of the dif ferent conditions existing In congest ed election districts of the State, the varying needs of large cities like Philadelphia and Pittsburg and sparsely populated regions llko Pike, Monroe, Fulton, AVayne and other of tho rural counties of tho State. It is admitted that it would be dif ficult to apply tho same system of voting and the listing of electors In such localities as those named, and it is desired by the clmmlsslon to perfect some system that will solve this problem. it is planned by tho commission to recommend the changing of the date of the primary elections from Juno to September and forbid the name of a candidate for nomination to appear on more than one ticket. The object of this proposition is to prevent the "raids" on the tickets of minority parties that are so easily made under the present system, and of which vivid illustrations have been given In this city and elsewhere.
