ENCOURAGING.
$33 000,000 over and above all expenses with some $7,000,000 still
due from the corporation tax Is the way In which Uncle Sam balances his
books for the fiscal year. The cash balance in the treasury exceeds $100,
000,000. From every source of national Income except customs the re
ceipts total about $685,000,000 and taken with the postal receipts make
the whole grand total almost one billion of dollars.
In view of the fact that this has not been a remarkable prosperous
year, these results are both interesting and encouraging.

DEATH OF WELL-KNOWN MERCHANT.
In the death of Mr. Lewis Bregsteln on Sunday, Honesdale loses one
of Its most prominent residents and retired business men. Respected by
all, his untimely death Is a sad" blow to his Immediate family and his hosts
of friends. Emigrating to this country at an early age, his life Is an ex
ample of the success that a young man with pluck, determination and
perseverance can win. Broad-minded, courteous, fair and honest in all
his dealings with his fellowman, the late merchant was held In affectionate
admiration and esteem by all with whom he came In contact.
To his bereaved family The Citizen extends its sincere sympathy and
shares In its sorrow.

WHEELS OF JUSTICE NOT SO SLOW.
Another banker former President Reichmann of the Carnegie Trust
Company, New York, has been convicted of making false returns to the
State Banking Department and has been sentenced to prison. Of all sin
ners the banker who Is false to his trust deserves less sympathy and merits
quicker punishment than any other class. "If banks are not safe nothing
is safe and if bankers who sin go unpunished, there is no use of punishing
anyone."
A self-respecting burglar would scorn the thieving banker and If
the former Is bad the latter is far worse. It is to be hoped that the les
son that the laws are not to be broken will shortly be learned even by
derelict bankers.

MAIN STREET.
In another column of The Citizen is found a humorous comment by
Editor Warg of the Hawley Times anent the Main street of Honesdale. It
Is to the effect that the stop watches provided the police for timing speed
ing automobiles are unnecessary and that a medal should be given the
automobillsts who can drive along the principal thoroughfare of this
flourishing town and not be thrown out of the machine.
Mr. Warg probably wrote his little item before the roller had com
menced to make Main 'street somewhat more presentable, and when the
street was a disgrace to the town. New York or New England would not
have tolerated such a condition for a moment, much less than years and
years. It has hurt Honesdale more than a little in the past, and if its
present comparative smoothness wears away in the near future it will
continue to hurt Honesdale In days to come.
In most towns the Main street Is kept in the finest condition possible,
because the character of the street is taken as an index to the character
of the town. Just as the yard of a private citizen which is not kept splc
and span, with the hedges neatly trimmed, the grass cut, and the dead
leaves and bits of paper cleared away is a pretty good sign that the own
er of the yard is a sloppy, lazy, indifferent man without an atom of per
sonal pride, so the town which allows Its main street to disintegrate Into
a mass of ruts, gullies and mud holes, unsafe for horses and nearly Im
possible for automobiles, does not stand very high In the respect of visi
tors and strangers who form their opinion of the town itself from the con
dition of Its main highway.
If Mr. Warg will run up to Honesdale he may witness some slight
improvement in the character of its main street.
Patriotic Services at
Methodist Church
HEV. V. II. HILLEU PREACHES
STRONG SERMON ON CHURCH
AND STATE.
The services In the Methodist
church on Sunday were of a patriotic
nature. The pastor, Rev. W. H.
Hlller, preached a strong sermon In
the morning on the "Church and
Stato" and In the evening the
theme was the ideal of the church
and state and how realized. The
pulpit was draped with a large flag,
which was the only decoration. The
singing was of the usual high class.
C. J. Dibble rendered a sweet tenor
polo, and a male quartette composed
of Raymond Dibble, George Hay
ward, Elwin Butler and Neal Hlller,
sang a beautiful piece, which was
appropriate for the day. In the
evening the rendition of several an
thems and solos by members of the
choir was greatly enjoyed. The choir
was assisted by Sonner's orchestra,
Mrs. N. J. Spencer organist, and
C. J. Dibble director.

Heurich- Saunders Case
Settled by Arbitrators
SAUNDERS WINS AND HEURICH
HAS IX) PAY THE COSTS.
A board of arbitrators composed
of A. F. Voigt, J. F. Katz and Jas.
O. Mumford listened to evidence in
the assumpsit suit of Carl Heurich
against Charles Sanders at the court
house on Friday. The plaintiff
brought suit against the defendant
to recover $500 with Interest since
May 19, 1904.
Herman 'Harmes was counsel for
the plaintiff, while Attorney C. A.
McCarty represented the defendant.
The hearing occupied the time of
the arbitrators from the morning un
til after 1 o'clock without Inter
mission. May 19, 1004, Charles Sanders
borrowed from Carl Heurich the
sum of $500 for which he gave Heu
rich a receipt. In July, 19"05, a man
called upon Sanders and produced
an order from Heurich for tho col
lection of the amount nald. In 1909
j Heurich wrote to Snders asking
tor tne money but received no an
swer. Both parties at the time of
the transaction lived at Mt. Vernon,
N. Y. Sanders moved to Paupack
early In 1910. In May, 1910, Heu
rich came to Hawley, where he met
Sanders and demanded a settlement.
Heurich renled that he ever authoriz
ed anyone to collect his moneyj
said the order was a forgery and that
he never received any part of the
debt.
About two hours after the case
was closed, the arbitrators, who tried
the tase, returned an award In fa
vor of Sanders, Heurich to pay all
costs.

pany, whose principal Incorporators

TO PREVENT LOCK-JAW.
Again State Health Commissioner
Dixon calls attention to tho serious
danger attending Fourth of July ex
plosive wounds. In issuing the au
nual warning a warning which it
Is believed has been listened to and
heeded. Dr. Dixon announces also
the preventive measures which his
Department has arranged to com
bat tetanus or lock-Jaw as a result
of Injuries from explosives.
The 07 tetanus antitoxin state dis
tributing stations will be replenished
with a stock of tetanus antitoxin for
use among the poor who may be un
fortunate enough to be Injured on or
about the 4th of July, and Dr. Dixon
again urges the necessity of prompt
use of the antitoxin in cases of
wounds received from explosives In
order to ward off lock-jaw. No such
wounds should be considered trivial.
Send for a physician at once. If med
ical aid cannot be secured at once,
wash out the wound thoroughly and
apply a hot antiseptic, such a solu
tion as one antiseptic tablet, com
mercial corrosive sublimate, to Ave
pints of hot water. The Injured
part should be completely Immersed
in this solution for a considerable
length of time. If these tablets are
not available, wash out the wounds
thoroughly with pure hydrogen per
oxide. If no antiseptics are available
ordinary hot water of such temper
ature that It will favor bleeding from
the wound may be of some service.
Let there be no delay however, in
sending for a physician for death
lurks In explosive wounds.
In the list of tetanus antitoxin dis
tributing stations appears the name
of C. C. Jadwln, Honesdale. If you
or your friends receive injuries on
July 4 you may receive the preven
tative at this store on request.

Food Ferments
Causes Indigestion and Stomach Dis
tress. Indigestion or any chronic stom
ach trouble leads to loss of vigor
and vitality; half the nervous wrecks
In America today can blame Indiges
tion for their condition.
Fermentation of food means that
your stomach Is run down; that
your food does not digest and that
the blood, not being supplied with
nutritious elements, cannot supply
the various organs of the body with
sufficient nourishment.
That's why Indigestion often
causes eye weakness, brain fag, pal
pitation of the heart and inactive
liver.
MI-O-NA stomach tablets will build
up your run down stomach, will
banish indigestion -and put your
whole system In good condition If
you will give them a chance. They
are sold by G. W. Pell at only 50
cents a large box.
