OIL PAINTINGS.
With a Little Cure They Mny Eaally
Be Cleaned.
Many a good picture that lias looked
dark and dirty for years from having
been exposed to the dust can easily be
cleaned and freshened in a very sim
ple way. The picture should be taken
from its frame and dusted carefully
with n soft cloth. Peel a large potato
and cut it in half, go over the whole
picture with a sponge that has been
dipped In tepid water, then with the
flat side of tho potato rub the surface
of the picture with a light circular
movement, being careful not to press
too heavily on the canvas. The potato
will soon begin to loosen the dirt and
the colors underneath will begin to
show brighter. AVhen all the stains
and dirt have been removed the pic
ture should be sponged again In warm
water, care being taken to wash off
any starch that may have been left
from the potato.
In case the picture is badly cracked
ns little water as possible should be
used, as it is apt to ooze under the
paint and do sdme Injury.
Many oil paintings are injured by the
dampness from the walls on which
they are hung. The dampness is apt
to cause the canvas to decay, and
there are few canvases made to resist
Its attacks. To prevent this particular
form of decay the back of the canvas
should be painted when perfectly dry
with white lead.

Quaker custom. "Where did thee get
It, Maria?" questioned her sister. "At
the saloon on the corner," replied Miss
Mitchell serenely. "Why, Maria!
Doesn't thee know respectable women
don't go Into such places?" "Oh," said
Miss Mitchell, in the manner of one
who has done all that could be requir

FOR PURE WATERS

Health Commissioner Dixon's Great
Task Is to Reclaim the Waters
of the Stata From
Pollution.

Sanitary Enrjlncerirtg Division of the
Department of Health Is Teaching
Municipalities Efficient and '
Economical Methods of
Drainage.
A lamentable and tremendous
amount of needless suffering, sickness,
expense and death annually result
tram the wanton pollution of the
streams of Pennsylvania among those
individuals dependent upon thew
sources of supply for drinking water.
Hundreds of communities hang in the
balance and at any time may have an
epidemic of typhoid fever stalking
through their midst and decimating
their numbers. HundredB of the young
and best lives of the commonwealth
are annually sacrificed to the unsani
tary customs of sewage disposal. Pol
son material of human origin from
public and private institutions, sewers
and privies are emptied into streams
at points but short distances above wa
ter works Intakes, and in a few hours
thereafter axe delivered through the
water pipes of public systems to many
Innocent and unsuspecting individuals,
who rest secure in the belief that the
public authorities, having in charge
the furnishing of drinking water, and
who are responsible for the purity of
the water thus supplied, are faithfully
performing their obligations.
Public and private corporations,
however, even when earnestly inclined,
are often limited in their powers to
prevent sewage contamination of the
sources of water supply.

THE LIVER QUARANTINE
TAJCINO HtS MB&LI OUT."
(Hurried eating has ruined many a man's
stomach. The digestion-destroying pro
cess is gradual, often unnoticed at first.
But it is only a short time until the liver
balks, the digestive organs give way, and
almost countless ills assail the man who
endeavors to economize time at the ex
pense of his health.
q A torpid liver causes a quarantine of the
entire system. It locks in the diseased
germs and body poisons and affords them
full play, inviting some serious illness,
qln families where August Flower ii used,
a sluggish liver and constipation are un
known, so are all stomach ailments, as
well as indigestion, dyspepsia, heartburn,
headaches and kidney and blader affec
tions. No well-regulated family should
be without this standard remedy.

terrifla cost in human life, it l as nnauy
dawned upon the people that a higher
authority than tho municipality must
grapple with the problem and afford a
remedy, it is, therefore, of interest
to every citizen of the commonwealth
to know about the work that Health
Commissioner Dixon is doing to pre
serve the purity of the waters of the
state Ln fulfillment of the duty laid
upon him by the act of April 22,
1905.
The enormity of the task is com
prehended when one realizes the fact
that almost without an exception
every city, borough and mv liclpality
ln Pennsylvania linving a s wer sys
tem dlFc':r .'ft Us filth Into the most
convenient nearby stream, regardless
of consequences to the ustr of that
stream at some point below.
Further, where there are no sew
ers, privies are almost universally lo
cated on or near the banks of natural
water courses, which thus serve as
open sovers. Hy no known mathe
matics Is it possible to compute the
extent of evil, the misery, expense,
poverty, lifelong sufferlug and death
which t'lis custom entails; but It Is a
fact that a largo amount oi It all would
be driven from the state ii sanitary
methods of sewage dispL.3.U were
adopted..
It is the privilege, as well as the
duty, of the JfHte Health Commission
er to bilng uijimt just this result. No
short Righted, vacillating an.l radical
policy could be successful in such a
great undertaking. It will necessarily
be tho work of years to undo the cus
toms of generations and establish uni
versal healthful conditions. Its suc
cess in a measure depends upon tho
enlightenment and co-operation of tho
people. The stupidity and skepticism
of a preoccupied and selfish populace
Is a barrier to quick results. Where
the public conscience is quickened,
voluntary reforms will be Inaugurated
and benefits will be at once secured.
In other cases the law will have to be
Invoked and enforced.
Tho Chief Engineer of the Depart
ment, F. Herbert Snow, and his assis
tants are now traversing every part of
the State, making examinations of
sewerage systems and water supplies
and collecting data with respect to the
quality of all of the waters in Penn
sylvania. More than this is being done,
sources of pollution and menaces which
can be abated at once are reported to
the commissioner, and in many cases
a request on his part to the owner
of the premises Is sufficient to cause
a removal of the nuisance. The num
ber of letters of encouragement and
co-operation ln this kind of reform
received by the commissioner splendid
ly illustrates the willingness of the cit
izens of the state to do what is right
In a few cases owners wilfully refuse
to do away with the causes of disease,
ln which evnt they are being brought
into court or forced to comply with the
law.
Another Importnnt feature of the
commlsslonfr's work 1b appealing to
the municipalities, namely, the utiliz
ing free of cost to them of the services
of the engineering department ln con
sultation and advice respecting the In
stallation of new water work9 and sew
er systems and the extensions of exist
ing systems. This engineering service
does not Interfere with the work of
tne engineer m private practice, but
Increases it. The state department
gives free of cost the very host engi
neering advice procurable, which has
already resulted ln taving t munici
palities lai ge sums of mon y by ob
viating cotly mistckes. In carrying
out the general advice and suggestions
of the state department, the municipal
ities must employ their own engineers,
but before plans are finally adopted
they pass for approval to the health
commissioner. Dr. Dixon confidently
asserts that through his engineering
division he will save to tho munici
palities ln the state hundreds of thou
sands of dollars, and at the same time
work with the local authorities in car
rying out local improvements.

C. F. DICKINSON, Westinghouse Building, Pittsburg, Pa. ' '
We own and ofTer (in amounts to suit purchasers) the best industrial security ever offered to
the investors of this community.
The controlling interest in Reynoldsville's new "STEEL PLANT" has recently been
purchased by Pittsburg people who are old in the successful management of large iron and
steel properties. T
Necessary additions are being made to the equipment, and new and heavy machinery is
being added. Upon completion of these improvements a full line of Alligator Shears, Cold
Saws, Rolling-Mil and Contractors' Machinery will be extensively manufactured at the
Company's works, and sold from their Tittsburg offices.
The assets of the Company as re-equipped will stand at $120,000.00 in round figures,
against which the $30,000.00 of First Mortgage bonds are the first and prior lien.
The Company has issued $30,000.00 six per cent First Mortgage Gold Bonds in de
nomination of $100.00, $200.00, $500.00 and $1,000.00 each and we, the undersigned, have
purchased a very large proportion of the entire issue. , . .
The semi-annual interest, at the rate of six per centum, is payable on June 1st and De
cember 1st of each year, at The Peoples National Bank, ReynoldsvihV, Pa.
These bonds are a first and prior litn on all of the real estate, buildings, machinery,
equipments, franchises, property and revenues of the American Production Company, and a
special condition in the mortgage provides that bonds to the amount of $2,500.00 shall be
retired every year, after the first two years.
LEGALITY
These bonds have been issued under the supervision and advice of the following attor
neys, viz : Messrs. Charles Corbett, ol Brookville, Pa., Weil & Thorp, of Pittsburg, Pa.,
and G. M. McDonald, of Reynoldsville, Pa.; any of whom can vouch for the binding val
idity of these securities.
The, undersigned being personally acquainted with the "STEEL PLANT" property,
consider these bonds as the best of the kind ever offered in this community, and recom
mend them as a safe investment.
Prompt subscriptions for bonds in amounts from $100.00 up will be received by the un
dersigned at the price of par and accrued interest. Allotments will be made as subscrip
tions are received, the right being reserved to cease the allotment at any time.
