"WHAT IT WILL COST PER MXEAL
FOOT.
It Is not going to cost a mint to
the property owners to pave Main
street, as some people believe It will.
An owner of property with a front
age of fifty feet will be asked to
pay at the rate of ?4.00 per lineal
foot if the trolley road does not en
ter into the contract and only ?3.00
per lineal foot should the street
railway be built. These figures re
fer to that part of the street from
the State bridge to Fourth street.
From the State bridge north to the
borough line, where twenty-three
feet Is the width of the proposed
pave, only J1.25 is the scheduled
cost, providing the trolley extends
north to the Texas line, and 85 cents
per lineal foot If the road Is built.
On West Park street the cost of
abutting property owners will be
$1.75 per lineal foot. The trolley
does not intend going over this piece
of road at present, hence the price
will remain the same. Is this expen
sive paving?
KEEP TIIE BABY WELL.
The Washington Health Depart
ment has printed a list of rules for
keeping baby well that ought to be
posted in every nursery. The story of
the hot summer days and the sick
baby Is an old one, but It will bear
repetition so long as there are young
-mothers and new babies. The rules
follow:
Be sure of the milk you purchase.
See that milk is pure and wholesome
then keep it clean and cold.
Scald the nurslnc bottle often and thor
ouprhly; do not tolerato long tube at
tachments. Give the child as much cool water as
he will take.
Keep the child in the open air of parks,
but not exposed to the sun's hot rays.
Tho clothing of the child should bo
Hcht nnd loose.
Children should bo bathed two or three
times each day during hot weather.
At tho first appearance of physical ail
ments call a physician.
Improper food combined with high
temperature are the great destroyers of
babies, causing 35 per cent, of the deaths.
The violation of any one of these
may result seriously for baby. Their
strict observance will keep any nor
mal baby well and happy no matter
how high the mercury soars. Har

United States, and when you see cut glass
on your table tell your Oregon friends
you saw the town where that was made."
The writer hereof has frequently
noticed when travelling that without
the aid of the time-table of the road
on which he is traveling, and a good
watch that is running along in har
mony with the conductor's time
piece, it would be quite out of the
question to tell what towns you are
travelling through.
A notable example for years has
been Battle Creek, Michigan, where
near tho Michigan Central station, in
a splendid location, a huge sign sev
eral feet high and many feet long
told the travelling public the city's
name and a brief statement of what
the city was doing and offering. That
sign was there ten years ago, and
either that, or a larger one, we pre
sume is there to-day.
Honesdale, It may be noted, is ad
vertised clear across the continent
because one man had the fore
thought to suggest placing its name
on the sign of one of its industries;
but why not adopt the Battle Creek
Idea and advertise a little more ex
plicitly? And this suggestion Is not
made entirely to Honesdale, but like
wise to Hawley, to White Mills and
to Waymart.
quite so good as this grand old
county of Wayne.
Then, lust .as wo naa Decome ac
customed once more to meeting Mr..
Menner on his dally round between
his store and his place of business,
we failed to meet him again, day af
ter day, until the absence became,
noticeable and Inquiry developed the
Information that Mr. Menner was
confined to his home with that most
vexatious of troubles rheumatism.
Now, traveling is bad enougn, but
rheumatism Is worse, and our well
known merchant has found It to be
so. He found himself for several
days ready to trade his stock of
rheumatism for almost anything that
was tradable; but the trading mar
ket did not seem to be very active.
Then, just as we were becoming
only a trifle used to Mr. Menner's ab
sence', we saw his familiar face and
form on the street again, and trust
now there will be no more breaks
scheduled for the Immediate future.
Volney Skinner, proprietor of the
Mllanville House, was a welcome
caller at The Citizen office one day
very recently, coming down from his
pleasant home on the banks of the
historic Delaware river to mingle
for a time with tho residents of the
dale that bears the name of Phillip
Hone. Mr. Skinner was born in
Wayne county 82 years ago the Cth
of July next, and has been a reader
of The Citizen from the time It was
first published, and finds that as it
grows older It grows in interest. Al
though Mr. Skinner has reached this
advanced age he is as physically
strong and mentally vigorous. He
has lived in his present residence all
of his married life, which covers a
period of more than fifty years.
Mr. Skinner is one of the few re
maining people that had the distinc
tion of attending John F. Stoddard's
University of North-eastern Pennsyl
vania when that institution was mak
ing Bethany famous. By the way, as
family re-unions are now popular
what sort of a scheme would it be
for those who attended the Univer
sity to hold a little family gather
ing of their own? The writer per
sonally knows of two or three of tho
old time students, and there prob
ably are several more.
View poor district. The act author
izes each of tne boroughs named to
elect at the municipal election this
year, and quadrennially hereafter, a
poor district for a period of four
years.
Among other bills to meet with
the approval of the governor were:
Giving permission to associations
of veteran soldiers, when parading
on Sundays, to be accompanied by a
proper military band while coins to
divine services or for tho purpose of
interring any deceased member, pro
vided that the bands shall not play
while returning from such services
or from Interments.
Giving cities of the third class the
right to prescribe by ordinance tea-
sonable district within which all
electric wires shall be placed under
ground or in conduits.
Authorizing cities of the third
class to pay members of plumbing
boards $5 a day each for each day
devoted to their work.
Making It unlawful for any liquor
dealer to give anything of value as a
premium for the return of caps, stop
pers, corks, stamps or labels taken
from packages containing intoxicat
ing liquors, and making violators
liable to a fine not to exceed $100 or
not more than ten days in jail.
The governor vetoed the bill which
would have allowed the new Western
penitentiary In Center county, to
have been taxed for local purposes.
She was born in Lebanon township
sixty-six years ago.
She is survived by her husband;
one brother, Gates Douglas, of Cold
Spring; also five children: Horton,
Frank and Howard, of West Damas
cus; Mrs. Ray Dennis, of Glrdland;
Mrs. Charles Tegeler of Boyds Mills,
and several grandchildren.
Tho funeral service was held at
the Methodist church of Damascus
on Monday afternoon at 1 o'clock.
Interment was made in the Damas
cus cemetery.
OBITUARY.
Officials of the Public Health and
Marine Hospital service of Wash
ington, D. C, began last week the
preliminary skirmishing for what
will soon develop into open warfare
on the rumming, zooning, pestifer
ous, sleep killing mosquito. With
the whole nation aroused against the
house fly, the government health of
ficials believe that similar activity
should be directed against the mal
aria carrying pest. A well defined
light against the mosquito has been
going on for some time, but the gov
ernment officials do not believe that
the battle is general enough. Fed'
eral scientists will study the most,et
flcient way in which to eliminate the
mosquito during the summer and as
soon as possible a report on their
findings will be published and sent
all over the country by the govern'
ment.
EXPLANATION REQUIRED.
There are ways to do things and
ways not to do them. There is a
way, for instance, for people to sub
scribe for newspapers, to order their
discontinuance, to get a hearing from
editors when you want them to pub
lish your article or your Spring
poem.
In our mall early In June was an
envelope that had been mailed at
some place beginning with "La" and
ending with "a." Although it was
June, the postmark was Jan. 5, 1913.
Inside wps tho following:
IN MEMORY"
Of Simon Field, who entered into rest
June the eighth, in the year of our
Lord, 1912.
Blessed are those servants, whom the
Lord, when he cometh, shall nnd
watching.
That was all the envelope con
tained. Now, dear reader, when you
look at the subject all around, don't
you agree with the heading of this
article, "Explanation Required!"
CITIES AND SIGNS.
Tho Citizen takes pleasure In re
producing a little article from the
June number of the Employes Mag
azine, a bright publication that the

shines and twinkles clear across tho
continent on the Pacific coast.
Here Is the article now read it
"Throughout tho world in traveling on
tne ranroaas, one passes tnrougn city al

said a fellow traveller to your correspond

train approached another city and tho
fellow traveler said, "Now we shall see
the samo old signs 'Cement Dealer,'
Lumber Dealer,' without tho name of tho
city under tho sign."
"I mention what followed to stir up
Interest among our towns In the West,
so that thev catch on to a new method
of making themselves known to the
traveling public."

FROM TIIE ANTI'S INFANT.
Mother, dear Mother, come homo to
us now,
Tho 'dock in the church's high
domo
Asserts it Is midnight, and you must
allow
A mother's true place is at home.
You've said it so often, you know you
have, Ma!
You've roasted the suffragists, all,
And yet hero you go, gallivanting
arar,
And leaving your baby to squall.
Come home! Come home! Please,
Mother, dear Mother, come
home!
Mother, dear Mother, pray why do
you go
Campaigning both early and late?
A true woman's sphere, as you very
well know,
Is not touring a county or State.
Your husband, your infant, your
duty, are here,
We long for a glimpse of your
face.
Come home to us, Mother, from far
or from near,
And quit this unwomanly chase.
Come home! &c.
It seems not to matter, dear Mother,
one mite
That you are opposed to tho vote.
You leave us alone both by day and
by night,
Just like those bad women you
quote.
You say that they gad and leave
babes to their fate,
You say they are mannish and
wrong,
And then you are caught staying
early and late
Where you claim women do not
belong.
Come home again!
L' ENVOI.
Pa's victuals are cold my milk is
all sour!
Tho bottle I'd smash If I could!
Come home to us, Mother, if but for
an hour
Please, Mother, come home and be
good.

There is an old saying that "you

know how much you miss some peo

fall to meet them in your dally

by Gray in his famous "Elegy."
