HONESDALE AND ENVIRONS.
Miss Alice Ulmer has returned to
.her homo In Carbondale, after a
weeks' visit with Honesdale friends.
"This is the only time In my ex
perience," said District Attorney M.
K. Simons to a reporter for THE
CITIZEN, Monday, "that wo have no
criminal cases to come before the
Grand Jury. Wo have absolutely
one. The Hunkele case will bo
elosed up at the end of tho week."
Tho structure of the'braln places
Veneration at the very top, and thus,
by implication, confirms tho state
ment of the Catechism that "Man's
chief end Is to glorify God and to
enjoy him forever." Without this
Fulcrum, missionaries and philan
thropists might well lose all heart
and all hope In respect to the moral
and social uplift of the masses and
the classes. Whoever, therefore, is
intelligently a friend to his race
must do everything in his power to
maintain this center of mentai bal
ance, and to utilize it as an essential
feature In the Divine arrangoment
for human well-being. Whoever In
any manner or degreo undermines
this element of the mind Is surely
doing a destructive work, Instead of
a- constructive one, whether he real
izes tho fact or not. Pastor Russell.

ning the biggest and best time for

worthy of your patronage.
Clam chowder, coffee, and kuchen
will be served Thursday afternoon
and evening, March 9, at the German
Lutheran church parlors.
To have no personal God must
eventually signify to tho reasoning
mind no Law-Giver, no Judge, no
Justice, no love, no mercy, no per
sonal relationship, as between father
and child. Thus would be lost the
very basis of Christian faith and doc
trine. Pastor Russell.
Charles E. Lathrop, veteran editor
ot tho Carbondale Leader, and prob
ably the oldest active journalist in
Pennsylvania, celebrated his eighty
fourth birthday at his home on Gar
field avenue, Carbondale, Sunday.
Tho event was observed In a very
quiet manner. For tho past several
days Mr. Lathrop has been confined
to his home with an attack of the
grip, which, however, is not consid
ered to be serious, and it is expected
that ho will again be occupying the
ehair of editor of the Leader within
a short time. Despite his advanced
age Mr. Lathrop invariably reports
at the Leader office daily, being the
first one around In the morning and
the last one to leave tho editorial
rooms In the afternoon. At the
morning service In the First Presby
terian church Sunday the pastor,
Rev. Charles Lee, D. D., mentioned
the fact of the birthday of tho aged
churchman and spoko feelingly of
the work he has performed In the
many years that ho has been Identi
fied with the church. Mr. Lathrop
has been a member of the church for
forty-two years and during that long
period he has missed only three of
tho quarterly communion services.
Scranton will have a great patriotic
revival on June 6, 7 and 8, when the

ment of Pennsylvania, will hold Its

Corps and G. A. R. circle, which are
affiliated with tho post. A general
committee, under the chairmanship
of H. E. Paine, Is being formed to
havo general chargo of tho encamp
ment. Many of tho members of this
committee have already been defi
nitely selected and others will be
added within a few days. At a meet
ing of the committee held last Fri
day afternoon In tho board of trade
rooms a rough sketch of the pro
gram for the encampment was con
sidered. Among other features It
was decided that the camp fire to be
held on the evening of the first day of
the encampment, June G, will be of
important dimensions.

Harry P. Cassldy, special agent
of the dairy and food department,
says that Instructions had been Is
sued to inspect all Gorgangola
cheese, which is imported chiefly
from Italy.
"This cheese has been found to be
covered with a coating," said Mr.
Cassldy, "the primary purpose of
which Is nothing more than to cheat,
namely, to increase the weight of
the cheese 16 to 26 per cent., which
the consumer pays for.
"Aside from the fact that the
coating cheats and defrauds, It con
tains a poisonous substance, which,
by absorption, penetrates the cheese.
Tho poison Is known chemically as
'barytes' or 'barium sulphate.' The
normal commercial use of this poison
is In making mixtures of white paint
and Is extensively used by paint
manufacturers. On the cheese the
coating is colored with a prepara
tion of iron rust to give it its brown
color.
"The government permits this
stuff, covered with a substance used
to mix white paint, to enter the
country.
"The analysis was made by Pro
fessor Charles H. Lawall of 39
South Tenth street, Harrisburg, the
chemist for the department. The
use of this chemical In candy Is pro
hibited by federal and state law.
This cheese sells at 50 cents a
pound."
Fishermen all over the state are
very much interested in a bill soon
to make its appearance in the legis
lature and which permits one to fish
on Sunday. Such a law graces the
statute books of many states and for
some years back there has been a
movement hero in Pennsylvania to
get just such a measure passed.
The Sunday fishing bill will be more
heartily supported by the disciples of
Isaac Walton than is the measure
affecting hunters and which pro
vides that every hunter must take
out an annual license, the cost of
which Is to bo made $1 per. Every
mall coming to the capitol brings a
dozen or more petitions signed by
many hunters and which urge the
legislators to put tbelr foot on tho
proposed hunter's license law. Tho
Game Commission Is back of tho
move to havo the hunter's license
bill become a law, explaining its
stand by stating that such a measure
will bring to the state something
like $150,000 annually. This mon
ey It is proposed to spend in restock
ing tho woods and to further prose
cute the illegal hunter.

Although the following advice In a
trade paper is addressed to sales
clerks, it is really of more Import
ance to the buyer:
"Salesmen cannot pay too much
attention to the fitting of rubbers, for
half tho life of tho rubber Is In tho
proper fit. I believe In fitting rub
bers as large as possible.
"Do not stretch a 4 rubber over
a 5 shoe. It puts too much strain on
tho rubber, and it will break before
half worn out. Watch and see that
the sole does not project over the
edge of the rubber.
"Do not sell Cuban heel rubbers
for low heel shoes and vice versa.
We can supply a rubber for. almost
any heel made to-day. If you do not
havo rubbers to fit, it Is your own
fault.
"Do not sell a motorman, teamster
or any man or boy who gives a rub
ber hard use a light rubber. You
would not sell a light dress shoe for
everyday wear; do not do so with
your rubbers. Watch sales more care
fully, and you will havo no trouble
with your rubber trade.
"Watch tho heels of the custom
ers' shoes, especially tho Cubans.
When they got half worn off no rub
ber will fit or wear over them. Sug
gest that they get them built before
wearing tho rubbers. This causes a
large majority of tho complaints of
rubbers breaking down at the heels,
both on men's and ladles' rubbers.
"Toll your customers not to use
their rubbers like a stick of wood af
ter they have worn them a few times,
for freezing up on the stoop and
thawing out under the hot stove does
not help them any."
