IF WILEY SHOULD RESIGN.
By S. S. Robinson.
Some want "Doc" Wiley to resign,
They're bound that he shall go.
They have no use for pure-food laws,
it hurts their business so.
They want to dope our food and
drink
With cheap obnoxious stuff,
They do not care for human life,
ineir Hearts are hard and tough.
The fine wheat flour would then be
mixed
With harmless looking clay,
Our stomachs into brick-yards turn
ed,
To labor night and day:
The meat we buy would be "em
balmed,
The coffee made from flour.
The baking powder two-thirds
starch,
With little leavening power.
The soda-water will be doped
With coal tar products vile.
The whisky will a compound be
Of watered fussed "lie,"
The candy will be sweetened dough,
Tbo sugar mixed with sand.
The tea and spices won't escape
Tbe dopers cunning band.
The benzoate of sodium
Will in the canned goods be,
The vegetable's well as fruit,
preserved by acid "free."
The "coppered" peas will tempting
lOOK,
They'll be a lovely green,
They'll be as good as tonic pills
To make one's hunger keen.
We'll buy the colored oleo
For butter that Is real:
The lard will fee an awful mess
Not fit to grease a wheel.
The drugs will be no earthly good
To combat with disease.
We'll have to take the "Water Cure"
And drink some plain herb teas.
If Doctor Wiley should .resign
'Tis plain to see our fate.
We'd die off like the poisoned flies
uy things wo drink or eat.
So let us hope that "Doc" will stay,
And Keep his same old place.
He Is a benefactor sure
Unto the Human Race.

THEODORE DAY.
Dyberry, Aug. 1, 1911.
Death of Joseph Higgins.
Joseph Hlgglns, aged about 32
years, died of lung trouble at the
home of his mother, Mrs. Ellen Hlg
glns, on Ridge street, Thursday
about noon. Besides his mother he
leaves one sister, Miss1 Mary Hlgglns.
Mr. Hlgglns has been home since a
year ago last May. He was an excep;
tlonally bright young man and was
admitted to the bar at Eagle Pass,
Texas, when but 18 years of age. His
mother and sister have the entire
sympathy of the community In their
bereavement.
Death of Stephen Bergman.
Stephen Bergman died at his home
Wednesday evening after an illness
6f four days of chronic gastritis. Mr.
Bergman was a faithful employe of
u. ai. spettigue ana worked at his
trade, that of tinsmith, up to within
a day before an operation was per
formed to relieve him of his suffer
ing. He was taken suddenly 111 last
Friday night and on Saturday Dr.
Charles Thompson, of Scranton, as
sisted by Dr. W. T. 'McConvlll, of
mis piace, operated upon Mr. Berg
man. The stomach was found to
have "been perforated and food had
oozed out and had started to fer
ment around the intestines. His con
dition, was .not very encouraging
irom tne time or operation, as Mr.
Bergman was not allowed to take
any nourishment Into his stomach,
owing to several stitches having been
taken to close the perforation made
by the ulcer. If food had been tak
en the action of the stomach would
have broken the stitches and the pa
tient would nave been no better.
The mortality in cases of this kind
Is high owing to the patient being
unaDie to taKe nourishment. Much
also depends upon the physical con
dition of the patient.
Stephen Bergman was born in
Honesdale September 13, 1869,
where he has resided his entire life.
For about twenty years he has been
in the employ of O. M. Spettlgue,
with the exception of two different
times when he formed a partnership
with Charles Markey and another
time with Harry Deck, both of which
were in the plumbing business and
were of short duration.
Fraternally, Mr. Bergman was a
member of two organizations, Oslek
Tribe of Red Men and Fraternal Or
der of, .Eagles. He was also an ac
tive member of Alert Hook and
Ladder company of Texas No. 2.
Mr. Bergman leaves a wife, two
daughters, Helen and Hilda; also
two Drotners ana three sisters,
nameiy, unristian, ueorge. Mrs.
Joseph Westbrook. Mrs. Edward Tay
lor, all of Honesdale, and Miss Anna
uergman, at home.

Falls, Ont., Tuesday afternoon went
over the Horseshoe falls at Niagara
Falls, N. Y., In a barrel and still
lives. Though lie was severely bat
tered and bruised in the drop of 158
feet over the brink of the cataract,
he sustained only superficial Injuries'
and Tuesday night was able to bo
about his house. This is the second
time in the history of the river that
the trip In a barrel on October 24,
the cataract has over been success
fully navigated. Mrs. Anna Edson
by police on both sides of tho river,
Leach was forced to make his start
from LaSalle, a village 2 miles
above the cataract on the United
States side of the stream. Albert
Mang and William Perry, old river
men, took him out In a launch Into
the Canadian channel. They stopped
at Navy island, where everything
was made shipshape and Leach was
placed In the barrel, a steel affair, 11
feet long, the ends of laminated
wood. Leach was hung in a canvas
hammock.
He was badly exhausted when tak
en out of the barrel below the falls
and it was necessary to apply oxy
gen to revive him. He thought that
his leg was broken, but examination
showed that it was merely sprained.
" I minded the tumbling above the
falls more than the big drop," said
Leach. " It came near killing me,
the way I was tossed about before I
hit tho brink."
HOW TO MAKE JELLY "JELL."
One of the most pressing topics
In house-keeping circles Is how to
get jelly to "jell," and what the
reasons may be for its refusing to
attain that delectable state. This is
not a subject confined to the women
of the household by any means.
Mere man Is perhaps not as much
interested in It just now, but he will
be during the winter months when
the jelly put up during the sum
mer mkes its debut upon the table.
The question is so important that
an enterprising newspaper, the
Cleveland Press commissioned an
expert on preserving, Alice Gltchell
Kirk, to present to its readers the
real "Reasons Why Jelly Won't
Jell." While we are not competent
to pass upon the soundness of her
deductions we must say that her
conclusions appeal to us as sound
and we know of no better service
we can render the people of Hones
dale just at present than to make a
brief digest of Miss Kirk's coyp-
rlghted article.
As to the kind of fruit to be used
Miss Kirk says:
All fruits for Jelly should be
purchased UNDER RIPE, as at
this time there is a starchy sub
stance called 'PECTIN which is
necessary for Jelly, 'and this
quality is lessened as the fruit
ripens. If the fruit should bo
over-ripe and the Juice ferment
or the jelly is cooked too long,
the pectin loses Its power of
making jelly.
Having caught your berries you
proceed as follows:
Berries should be placed a
few at a time In the colander
and washed quickly so as not to
absorb the moisture. Then put
into a large bottom aluminum
preserving kettle and heat un
til the Juices are well started.
Pour all into a double, three
cornered cheese cloth bag and
harig up to drip. A 10-cent
harness hook screwed up over
tho kitchen sink where the bag
has room to hang and drip into
a bowl is a great convenience.
Do not squeeze the jelly bag
if you wish tho Jelly bright and
sparkling. You may do so and
boil this Juice separately.
Where no water Is added to
fruits bring the Juice for five
Coupons marked "Value 1 Coupon" ono point
Coupons marked "Value 2 Coupons" two points
Coupons marked "Value 5 Coupons" five points
Coupons marked "Value 10 Coupons," ten points
minutes (never hard boiling
with or without the sugar).
Have tho sugar heating In a
moderate oven.
A FAILURE.
By Ella It. Littell.
Yes, Jim, I'm sure a failure, Lord
knows I've done my best;
I've worked like a slave all my life,
and never had any rest,
For even in meetln' I'm plannin
how Kate and tho kids can bo
fed,
And the thought of It ha'nts me
sometimes till I'm almost out
o' my head.
I've got a good woman, Jim, of man,
no better will ever live;
How she has set up nights, and
worked, and scrimped, and give
But now her health's a fallin' an
what am I goln' to do,
With six young ones to take care of,
and the baby 'alnt yet two?
My brother's a Baptist preacher
oh no, he 'alnt much like me
I 'ain't one of the pious sort some
how I couldn't be;
He's gettin' an awful sal'ry six
hundred a year or more,
While I'm a flghtln' and strugglln'
Just to keep the wolf from tho
door.
Just look at old 'Squire Wheeler,
now, he's the richest man in
town,
He's al'ays climbed right up the hill,
while I've been goln' down;
I never niade any money I wasn't
built that way,
But everything comes to some folks;
they can al'ays make things
pay.
I'm gettin' about discouraged; no
use to fight against Fate;
And I know what will be will be, I
al'ays have told Kate.
And if it's God's will that I should
be poor, why poor I've got to
be;
It's just as plain as the nose on your
face, that's the way it seems to
me.
My life has been a hard one; there's
no denyln' that,
I'm Just an all round failure, but
don't please pass the hat;
But still I can't help hopln. Jim,
that some time I shall know.
Why 'tis that every prize in life, has
al'ays missed me so.
Sherman,' Pa., Aug. 3.
